Offer a savior to the infinite world!

At the moment of violent collision, the huge force almost caused the blade to fall off the boy's hand.

The speed is so fast, and the power is so terrifying...

No...I can't stop it...

thump—

Amidst the heavy and trembling sound, the ground was denting at this moment as the twisted creature took its steps.

The young boy gritted his teeth and gripped the blade tightly, but he was completely unable to resist the opponent's terrifying power. He was knocked into the air by the blow and crashed directly into Old Bob's wooden house behind him.

It was obvious that the deformed monster had no intention of giving its opponent any breathing time. The black shadow flashed by, and Tanjiro was completely unable to understand how the opponent had approached him, so much so that in the blink of an eye it was face to face with him.

"Drink!"

The white fox fire arrived in time. The strange flame seemed to have some kind of slowing power, which stopped the movement of the withered monster that was about to swing its arm to hit Tanjiro in mid-air and slowed down uncontrollably.

The young man, who had reacted at this moment, naturally did not hesitate. He swung the blade in his hand forward suddenly, and turned suddenly in the air, using the force of his body rotation to drive the Sun Wheel Sword in his hand to slash forward fiercely.

[Water Breathing·Type 2 Modification-Horizontal Waterwheel! 】

The blade was aiming at the neck of this strange creature.

I can’t figure out what the weakness of this strange thing might be at the moment, so I’ll just do it the same way I would deal with a ghost and chop off its head first!

The water surges and sweeps.

The twisted and deformed creature obviously had no special mobility in mid-air, especially when it was hit by the lily of the valley's flames and its movement speed was greatly reduced, so it had no tricks to use.

Tanjiro swung his blade and hit the creature's neck hard. In an instant, the force of the violent collision shook away the surrounding rain, and the spreading water curtain hit the walls and windows of the wooden house, splashing more mud and water on the ground.

At the same time, the boy also clearly felt the touch of the opponent's neck from the blade.

As strong as gold or iron... No, even stronger than metal, it is so incredibly hard that it cannot be cut...

when!

After a crisp collision sound, the twisted monster was knocked to the ground by Tanjiro, rolling in the mud and crawling up in a miserable state.

The boy then landed steadily on the ground, and his fingers, which were trembling slightly due to the recoil force, tightly grasped the hilt of the knife. Taking a deep breath, Tanjiro raised his head and continued to carefully observe the twisted creature not far ahead.

In the first round of confrontation with the enemy, it seemed that neither side gained any advantage.

However, the weak side is ours.

In the attack just now, neither myself nor Miss Suzuran could find a way to truly hurt this monster. Although the fox fire could burn it and slow it down, this attack could not achieve a clear killing effect, and my own attack, the water breathing performed by the Sun Blade, could not even break through the monster's defense and cause effective damage to it.

The situation is unfavorable, we have to find a way to solve it.

"call……"

Tanjiro exhaled gently, adjusted his breathing, and carefully observed the strange-looking thing that crawled out of the mud.

"You can actually fight against the 'Baptized' head-on... How is it possible..."

However, compared to Tanjiro's alertness and caution, Rest's reaction seemed to be even greater. He stared closely at the boy and girl standing not far away, and the fury in his eyes had reached the point where he could not hide it.

"How can you compare to the 'Baptized'..."

"How can you possess such power without paying a price..."

"No...no...I will never admit it, I will never approve of it. Blasphemy like you must be——"

boom!

Before he could finish his angry words, a bullet pierced through Rest's throat, causing him to fall to the ground in embarrassment, gasping with difficulty with his mouth open, unable to utter a single word.

Struggling and turning back with difficulty.

The person who fired the shot from behind was Lin Yi, who was holding an oil lamp. When he saw him turning around, he was even in a good mood and smiled and waved at him, just like greeting a good neighbor he met in the morning.

"Why... uh..."

You went inside to be with old Bob, didn't you? Why did you come out from behind me?

Rest, who was unable to breathe, struggled to ask this.

"Oh, I climbed out of the back room window and then sneaked up behind you. No, I mean, you can't be so incapable of thinking of such a simple thing? Or do you think I will pretend not to see you standing there like an idiot?"

Lin Yi lamented Rest's IQ with a sad face, then aimed at the opponent and fired several shots, directly making a big hole in Rest's head.

Chapter 22: Hey~light?

"Mr. Lin Yi?!"

It wasn't just Rest, the enemy, who was completely unprepared for Lin Yi's sudden attack. At this moment, Tanjiro widened his eyes and looked at his companion who had taken someone else's life with an expression of uncontrollable astonishment.

It's so straightforward...

"Is it really invincible?"

Lin Yi took a step back, frowned, looked at Rest who was lying on the ground and spoke.

"Hey?"

Tanjiro blinked, and was a little confused after hearing these words.

whoosh-

The one who reacted faster was the withered and deformed monster. At this moment, when Tanjiro was distracted for a moment, this thing rushed forward again without hesitation, and arrived in front of the boy in an instant at an unimaginable high speed.

Then he was hit by a large fox fire that suddenly ignited and had to retreat back to the dark area.

"Brother Tanjiro, stop being distracted."

Lily of the Valley gave serious reminders from behind, waving the staff in her hand and once again attacking the skinny figure not far away.

"Um, sorry, I get it!"

After recovering from the shock of Lin Yi suddenly rushing out and killing Rest, Tanjiro nodded slightly, then rushed out with the Nichirin Sword tightly gripped in his hand.

With the Water Breathing technique and power, it seemed difficult to damage the monster's body. In terms of the hardness of its neck alone, this enemy was much stronger than the Lower Moon Five that he had encountered at Nada Spider Mountain a few days ago, and it was already a situation where conventional attacks were difficult to be effective.

Perhaps, using the God of Fire Kagura could effectively cause damage to this strange enemy.

No, I can't do that. I am still far from learning how to use the Fire God Kagura. Once I use it, no matter whether I can destroy the monster or not, I will inevitably fall into a weak state after the battle. Now the enemy situation is still unclear, and I don't know how many monsters of this kind there are on the other side. I can't use this move rashly.

But if I don't use the God of Fire Kagura, relying on my current strength...

"Tanjiro, cut the burning part of it."

Lin Yi, who had already stepped back two steps away from Rest's body, suddenly spoke at this time.

"Ah? Got it!"

The young man took a step forward and swung the blade in his hand without any hesitation, hitting the part of the skinny monster that was hit by Lily of the Valley's attack and was on fire.

The black monster, which seemed to be moving leisurely, stiffened slightly after Lin Yi's voice fell. Those twisted eyes turned to Lin Yi's direction for the first time, and then it suddenly jumped up, choosing to avoid Tanjiro's attack.

Wow!

He stepped forward, his toes breaking the water and making a heavy sound.

The next moment, Tanjiro jumped up without hesitation, and the sword in his hand blasted out like a tide.

[Water Breathing·First Form-Water Surface Slash! ]

when!

The withered arm stretched forward and collided with the blade in Tanjiro's hand at this moment.

This twisted monster was dodging and resisting his own attacks!

White fox fire suddenly flew up from the young man, and Lily of the Valley swung her staff and hit the monster's body, causing its movement in mid-air to suddenly stop.

Then, Tanjiro in front of him swung his sword again without hesitation.

[Water Breathing: Form Change: Wave of Strike: Chaos]

Ding! Ding! Ding!

The sword blade and the arm collided continuously at this moment. From jumping to landing, the two sides exchanged several blows in just one or two seconds. Tanjiro's swinging blade was all blocked by the swinging arms of this skinny monster. Every attack on the opponent's limbs produced sparks. It is hard to imagine how hard this thing's body is.

Conventional attacks have absolutely no chance of breaking through the defense.

But if that's the case, the other party should have no need to defend at all.

Why would the other party be unwilling to let himself be chopped on the part of his body that is on fire?

Is it that Miss Lily of the Valley's flame possesses some special power that weakens this guy's physical defense?

Or is it because of the "light"?

Did the "light" released by the white fox fire, which directly and closely touched the body of this twisted monster, produce some kind of change on this thing?

boom!

At this moment, a bullet came from far away and hit the heel of the skinny monster the moment it landed.

At this moment, Lin Yi found the best time to break in, catching the monster that had been defending Tanjiro and Suzuran off guard and destroying its balance. It staggered noticeably when it landed.

On that twisted head, the eyeballs widened again and looked at Lin Yi again.

This thing seemed to be unable to understand why this man, who had not shown any extraordinary powers and looked obviously the weakest of the three strangers, had become the biggest factor in the change of the situation at this moment.

Boom!

Another stream of fox fire was released as the girl swung her sword, instantly covering the entire body of the twisted creature, almost completely submerging it.

At the same time, Tanjiro stepped forward to meet the attack, having already raised the Nichirin Sword high in his hand, and at this moment he chopped it down with force without hesitation.

[Water Breathing·Eighth Form-Takitsubo! 】

The rain curtain was cut by the sharp sword blade at this moment.

The young man's blade cut straight out, and with heavy momentum, it hit the shoulder of the skinny monster.

puff--

It was like cutting paper or tofu, cutting deep into it.

Draw open, draw down.

It penetrated in an instant.

One of the monster's arms flew into the air, fell to the ground, and then quickly rotted away, turning into black mist and disappearing in front of everyone's gaze.

【Ahhhhh——! ! ! 】

For the first time, I heard the sound made by this monster.

It was an extremely shrill, distorted and terrifying sound like that of a ghost, and it was an extremely harsh and unpleasant sound like fingernails scratching against a metal plate next to the eardrum.

This horrifying sound obviously had some kind of strong mental impact. Both Tanjiro and Suzuran frowned and showed somewhat painful expressions at this moment. Even Old Bob and Lillian in the house not far away fell to the ground in great pain because of this sound, and they didn't even have the ability to control their movements.

tread--

Lin Yi walked out from the rain.

The kerosene lamp in his hand spun violently, then was thrown forward and hit the twisted monster directly.

Amid the sound of shattering, flames suddenly burned up, covering the head of the howling monster.

Then, Lin Yi took out the revolver he got from the police officers from his waist and pulled the trigger at the bloody mouth of the thing.

boom! ! !

Black fragments splashed up.

The twisted monster took a few steps back and half-knelt on the ground. There was now a hole running through its deformed head.

"Is that so? Light has such a big influence on you."

Lin Yi nodded slightly, seemingly unaffected by the sonic mental shock just now, and pulled the trigger again, not intending to give the enemy any chance to react, and made several more holes in the monster's head.

Chapter 23: Hey~ Fury?

From the start of the battle to the end, it was only a short period of less than two minutes.

The twisted creature with several bullets through its head stumbled back and fell to its knees. Its skinny body seemed to be trying hard to stand up again, but Tanjiro stepped forward and slashed without hesitation, completely chopping off the monster's head.

Click——click——

The cracks spread across the deformed body.
