Offer a savior to the infinite world!

The young man who asked this question clenched the Nichirin Sword and calmed down, ready for battle.

"Ah, what? I was aiming at your head just now."

A lazy, deliberately pretentious and strange voice sounded as the man slowly turned around.

The body was covered with black spots, and was shriveled and skinny. The waist and abdomen were so thin that they were not even human-like. The spine completely protruded from the back, making it look deformed and ugly, as if a centipede was lying on its back.

His green-black hair looked extremely messy, and when he raised his head, his bloodshot yellow eyes looked a bit evil.

Tanjiro saw the other person's pupils and the numbers engraved in those pupils.

First quarter

land

The Twelve Demon Moons under the Demon King Muzan Kibutsuji, the sixth among the Upper Moons.

Unexpectedly, we meet here. Has my whereabouts been known to the enemy long ago?

Tanjiro's pupils shrank slightly. He neither stepped back nor moved forward. He just stood there and stared at the enemy in the shadow in front of him.

After discovering the pool of blood, he thought that he would encounter demons during this mission, demons that were controlled by Muzan and transformed into man-eating monsters. However, to be honest, the boy had no idea what to expect when he encountered an upper-rank enemy right from the start.

The last time he fought against an Upper Rank was a month ago, when he teamed up with Mr. Purgatory to fight against Upper Rank Three, and the result was a crushing defeat.

But this time, there is no pillar in front of him to protect him. He must rely on his own strength to defeat the demon in front of him and fight against the evil demon of Upper Six.

Can you win by yourself?

Facing an enemy of this level, I... No, I will definitely win, I must win!

[The God of Fire Kagura——]

Without talking to the enemy, Tanjiro, who knew clearly that the other party appeared here to kill him, took the lead in attacking. The temperature of the Nichirin Sword in his hand increased instantly, and patterns appeared on his forehead.

when!

The first collision was when two bright red bone sickles in the enemy's hands were placed on Tanjiro's sword.

The scorching heat was accompanied by a fierce force. The boy stepped on the concrete floor and cracks appeared. The powerful attack actually cut the bone sickle, and the heavy posture directly knocked the enemy back a step.

Then the next moment he rushed up at a faster speed.

Dangdangdang——

The Sun Wheel Sword and the Bone Scythe kept colliding with each other. In the alley, the young man wielded the Sun Wheel Sword and fought with the evil ghost for several rounds in an instant. He retreated step by step, without any chance to gain any advantage. Instead, he was almost forced into several flaws by the opponent.

So fast!

The boy with wide eyes took a deep breath, his eyes barely able to keep up with the other party's speed.

"Oh my, it's amazing to be a savior. A kid who's not even a pillar can do this. I'm really jealous~ Hey~"

Amidst the low and hoarse laughter, the evil ghost's sickle suddenly emitted a bloody mark.

With a loud explosion, the walls and the ground on both sides shattered.

The young man was also knocked away by this blow and fell heavily to the ground. When he got up, the bloody bone sickle was already in front of him.

[The God of Fire Kagura: Rainbow Phantom! ]

The next second, what was cut by the bone sickle was an illusory phantom.

"Ok?"

The hunchbacked evil ghost paused only for a moment, then suddenly turned his head to look behind him.

Behind it was the sharp blade that Tanjiro swung out fiercely.

[The God of Fire Kagura Train! ]

Boom!

Amid the sound of tearing and collision, the young man was knocked flying once again.

The skinny evil ghost stood where he was, stretched out his hand, touched his cut neck, and looked at the young man in front of him who had already climbed up with a cold look in his eyes.

"Oh my, that's great. The Demon Slayer Corps has become completely different now. They are completely different from us demons who can only be slaves and driven by others."

“Hehehe, after all, my original master, that Muzan Kibutsuji, has now become a piece of meat without a self. Hehehe, in comparison, he is really miserable, don’t you think, scarred little devil~”

With a strange tone, the evil ghost turned his head and looked behind him, towards the teahouse on the street at the end of the alley.

He frowned slightly, and did not continue fighting with the young man in front of him. Instead, he jumped directly into the collapsed wall next to him and prepared to leave.

"Don't run away, our battle isn't over yet."

Tanjiro followed closely and swung his Nichirin Sword towards the opponent, but before it touched the enemy, it was blocked by a blood sickle that suddenly flew out.

"Don't worry, don't worry. We'll have a good fight when the time comes."

The other party's sinister laughter echoed from the building.

"My name is Jifu Taro, kid, this game has just begun, it's not time for you to rush~ Hey~"

I can feel that the other person has gone far away.

The young man frowned and stood in front of the broken wall without pursuing.

Has the game just begun?

What on earth is this ghost called Jifutaro talking about?

While hesitating and thinking, another smell entered his nose.

The smell was different from the previous one, it was weirder and more eerie, and it made people feel uncomfortable just by smelling it.

"That is……"

The boy turned around and looked to the side of the alley.

It's getting foggy.

Chapter D-23: Roaring Noon

The dim white mist enveloped the entire city in an instant.

Even if you magnify your senses to the limit, you can only barely see things within 10 meters. Sounds don't seem to be able to travel too far, and if you are a little further away, the sounds around you will feel muffled, as if there is a thick wall between them.

Communications had also been cut off. When the fog came, Iino discovered that the entire city's external communications had been completely cut off. The city had become an isolated island at this moment, with no way to contact the outside world.

I'm afraid there is no way to leave the outside world. Through some monitoring equipment that is still in operation in the city, Iino confirmed that those who want to leave the city will inexplicably return after stepping into the fog and will not be able to get out.

Is it some kind of space blockade?

Lin Yi didn't know what tactics the other party used.

But soon he didn't need to think about it, because the terror that followed had already erupted.

The first scream came from the teahouse below.

The smell of blood spread in an instant, and the voices of panic quickly turned into despair.

Lin Yi crashed through the corridor and saw a woman with a twisted body hanging from the ceiling of the teahouse. Surrounding her were people lying on the ground wailing, and everyone's neck had purple and red marks from being strangled.

Sneaky things.

How come you are here?!

He rushed forward without any hesitation, and the impact steel gloves automatically appeared and wrapped around his arms. The following fierce blow, accompanied by violently vibrating energy, directly blew up the spirit on the spot.

People gasped for breath and finally broke free from the strange curse.

Before Lin Yi had time to further confirm the situation, he saw something floating in the fog outside the window.

Click!

It broke the glass and fell to the ground.

The hand stretched out from the manhole cover had dragged a living person into the sewer on the spot, pulling the person down through the small opening of the manhole cover, turning him into a pool of minced meat and dragging him to the bottom layer.

Several people who were eating in a roadside restaurant had their heads dropped into their bowls, but their bodies were still holding chopsticks and trying to continue eating. The vermicelli from the restaurant hung around the necks of these headless people and was sucked down their throats, like long worms crawling into their bodies.

The cars on the street were still moving forward, but the drivers' faces had disappeared at some point, and the cars were filled with blank, faceless people.

Dark bloodstains flowed out from one side of the street and flowed to the other side of the street in just a short time. The bloodstains were all covered with footprints of children, as if many children were walking in a row, but their figures could not be seen.

"Mr. Lin Yi, this is..."

Tanjiro ran out of the alley and looked at the street where the demons were dancing wildly. His eyes widened for a moment, not knowing what to do.

Shouldn’t these things still be in the southern suburbs?

Why are you here now? How are those people in the city doing now?

"…Iino, scan the city and check for anyone still alive."

Without answering Tanjiro's question, Lin Yi just took a deep breath and spoke to his assistant girl.

[Analysis has already begun. The current detection system cannot go beyond the fog range, so the current detection results are only for the closed city.]

[Current life signs are 12445...corrected, 5830...corrected, 447...corrected, 5...]

The last five remaining signs of life are actually Lin Yi, Xiao Wu, Tanjiro, Suzuran and Uncle Lin.

In less than a minute, after the fog spread to the entire city, all the sneaky people trapped in the southern suburbs rioted and killed everyone in the city.

This place has become a dead city.

"..."

Speechless.

Words cannot describe how I feel at this moment.

The so-called gamble of the Evolutionary System, the entertainment that disregards the existence of life, at this moment reveals its bloody side in the most intuitive way.

"The seal of the southern suburbs was opened in advance, so the thing did not spread to the entire world, but only occupied this city. But even so, these alienated ghosts are still existences that ordinary people have no ability to resist. It's really... unscrupulous..."

Amidst the sighs, Uncle Lin, dressed in a yellow Taoist robe, had already walked to Lin Yi's side.

The city has fallen into deathly silence at this moment.

Without giving them any time to prepare, the enemy launched the most thorough offensive.

And obviously, this is not the end.

【beep--】

The shrill sound of suona suddenly rang out from one side of the street.

Lin Yi looked up and saw a group of people in mourning clothes carrying a black coffin walking towards him.

As they walked along, they could hear the sharp sound of suona and threw paper money along the way.

And then, from the other side of the road, another big red team appeared. It was a group of people carrying a sedan chair, dressed in festive clothes, playing festive music, and marching towards Lin Yi.

"Such a strong evil spirit, these things seem to be puppets carrying resentment."

Gu Mingdi Jue, who had already come downstairs, frowned and spoke in a low voice.

"The Red and White Devils want to trap us with their evil spirits."

Frowning, Uncle Lin opened a yellow paper umbrella, waved his hand, and the umbrella flew into the air.

Several spells were cast, and Uncle Lin quickly formed a seal with his hands and blasted directly towards the white team.

At the same time, Gu Mingdijue took a step forward, and the majestic demonic power turned into a tangible existence, instantly covering the red team.

[Recall: The Magic Cannon of the Flower Tyrant]

The next moment, with a loud explosion, the red team turned into shattered paper figures and dissipated, while the white team exploded one by one under the cover of the talisman paper.

"The core of the formation in the southern suburbs is changing. We have to hurry back as soon as possible, otherwise the fog may continue to spread. By then, all the sneaky people in the entire city will run outside, and the people here will have no way to deal with them."

The seemingly terrifying evil formation posed no threat at all to the fully armed people.

But looking at the eerie shadows that began to appear in front of him, Lin Yi realized that it might not be easy to reach the building in the southern suburbs as soon as possible.

There are things like that all along the way. If we really want to get through... it seems that we can only take extreme measures...

Opening his backpack, Lin Yi looked at the red and white candles that had not been used for some time.

These soul-calling candles, which were made by unknown means and could directly communicate with various hidden beings to create different effects, had not been used for some time. Now taking them out in this place seemed just right.
