Offer a savior to the infinite world!

"This is……"

And in the dark hall of the deepest floor, the figure in the blood-colored formation made the young man frown.

That is no longer something that humans can communicate and understand.

The half-melted flesh and blood scattered like wax and accumulated in the center of the array built of blood.

A blood-red sword blade pierced into the flesh and blood, causing a twisted head that looked almost like a skull to emerge from the flesh and blood and scream continuously, while the flesh and blood on its body continued to dissolve and dissolve again.

"What a vicious curse! It is burning his soul. If this continues, he will never be able to be reborn."

Uncle Lin, who recognized the essence of this magic, frowned deeply and couldn't help but speak.

"Not only that, this person...has been transformed into a ghost."

Tanjiro smelled a familiar scent, somewhat similar to that of the prostitute Taro.

It seems that this person is most likely the one who had fought with Uncle Lin before. He almost died because of the backlash, but was given blood by the upper-rank demon and turned into a man-eating evil demon and survived?

"We must destroy this formation as soon as possible and stop the evolution that now covers the entire city, otherwise the whole world will be in danger. In this state, he is no different from being dead. We must find a way to free him."

Uncle Lin had already pulled out a long sword with a cold glow from his cloth bag, and began to think about how to break the deadlock facing the monster in front of him.

Chapter D-35: Breaking the Formation: Chou Hour

"Ahhhh-"

Amidst the shrill howling, black light emerged from the dissolving flesh and blood, transforming into a terrifying monster that suddenly attacked.

"What is this?"

Tanjiro dodged quickly and stared at the dark thing, feeling an extremely strong threat from it.

Since the knife had broken and only a piece of the handle remained, he really couldn't confront it head-on, so he could only use his breathing method to dodge continuously to avoid the black spikes that suddenly stabbed down.

"Such a strong evil spirit, this is the product of condensed resentment."

Uncle Lin had already identified the nature of these things. He took out the Bagua mirror from his pocket and shone it directly at the incoming black object, causing it to explode in an instant.

"Uhhhhhhhhh-"

The dissolved flesh and blood let out even louder screams and wails at this moment.

The twisted black substance extended in all directions, and the ground turned into a quagmire in an instant, grabbing Uncle Lin and Tanjiro's feet and pulling them both into the ground.

He swung the Sun Blade and slashed it down, but it only hit something slippery and could not be cut through at all.

This doesn't seem to be a completely real creation, but rather a complex of energy and matter?

For a young man with breathing sword skills, this kind of unconventional and physically indestructible thing is an extremely bad match. After all, he does not have extraordinary power in energy, and the original device that can heat the Sun Blade and turn it into a red blade has been broken along with the blade, so there is no way to use it for the time being. It can be said that this is the worst situation now.

"Don't panic."

Uncle Lin's voice came from not far away, followed by a sudden burst of golden light.

Tanjiro looked up and saw Uncle Lin holding up the Bagua mirror and spinning it several times. The bronze mirror began to radiate golden light, which flowed as he turned it, forming a golden arc that exploded in all directions and blew up the black objects around it.

"This thing is essentially a condensed product of negative will such as resentment. The more impatient, anxious and fearful you are, the more difficult it will be to fight against it. Use the talisman I gave you to attack. I will find a way to break this formation!"

Uncle Lin pulled out a peach wood sword from his arms as he said this, and swung it violently, then cut off several strands of black matter that emerged from the darkness.

With a sudden step, Uncle Lin bit his finger while chanting the spell, smeared the blood on the sword, and then swept it fiercely. Immediately afterwards, there was a crackling explosion, and the surging black matter exploded in an instant under Uncle Lin's attack, and suffered serious injuries in an instant.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

The shrill screams became even louder than before.

As the parasitic subject of the black thing, the man who had turned into a wriggling piece of flesh seemed to be in great pain, and his body was becoming more severely ulcerated at this moment. However, he could not really die as he had become a ghost, so his body quickly regenerated, and he could only continue to survive while enduring great pain.

The black substance condensed again.

More sounds were heard, eerie, rustling sounds, which at this moment continued to distort and spread, spreading in all directions.

It seemed to be the wailing of someone before death, the sound of someone enduring the great fear and pain of having his body peeled off bit by bit.

It seemed to be the desperate wail of a mother, the madness of witnessing her child being eaten bit by bit by a monster.

It seemed to be the last echo of despair left when people were tortured one after another and their bodies and minds were destroyed by cruel means. It was the embodiment of the purest despair after all reason and cognition were stripped away.

tread!

Uncle Lin stomped his foot down suddenly and raised the peach wood sword in his hand high. The Bagua mirror was then thrown up by him, and golden light suddenly sprinkled down from above, as if creating a sun in this dark world underground.

The black substance continued to shatter at this moment.

The man let out an even more miserable wail, his body disintegrated and cracks spread, but he could not truly die.

"Is there no way to kill him directly?"

Seeing that the Bagua Mirror could not directly destroy the man, Uncle Lin frowned. After realizing a certain possibility, his gaze turned to Tanjiro, who was holding a broken blade in one hand and using a talisman with the other hand somewhat unskillfully.

"That's a demon from my world. Only by relying on the sunlight from my world, or by chopping off its head with this weapon called the Sun Blade, can I truly kill it. I must get close to it."

The boy immediately explained the situation, and after listening to Tanjiro's words, Uncle Lin nodded slightly, then rushed forward.

At this moment, as Uncle Lin rushed forward, pieces of talisman paper flew out in all directions, exploding the black matter that had condensed around him again.

Tanjiro followed closely behind, following Uncle Lin's pace and moving forward. The two of them approached the edge of the blood-colored magic circle at a very fast speed. After reaching here, the speed at which the surrounding black matter condensed began to accelerate, becoming faster and more ferocious than before.

Those distorted voices continued to grow louder, and the countless desperate wailing sounds seemed to have turned into some kind of substantial force that was destroying the nerves of the two. Uncle Lin didn't seem to react to this, but Tanjiro's face quickly turned pale, and cold sweat could not help but flow down his forehead.

It feels like... my head is going to explode...

"Don't panic, this kind of thing can't hurt you, don't get upset."

Uncle Lin's firm voice sounded at this time, and the bronze mirror fell from the air and flew directly into Uncle Lin's hand. With his movement, the blood array covered by black substance in front of him exploded, revealing the blood-red lines in it.

"This array contains a maze. You must follow a fixed direction to enter it. Otherwise, you will get lost in the array and cannot get out."

With just one glance, Uncle Lin quickly recognized the nature of this blood formation.

"I'll be in charge. Once you get in, you must follow my instructions exactly. You can't make any mistakes!"

Uncle Lin said this as he swung his peach wood sword and cut off several arms made of black matter that were attacking Tanjiro from behind. Then he pulled Tanjiro over and asked him to move forward towards the blood formation in front.

"Step over the blood line, take one step forward, three steps left, then one step back!"

The bronze mirror shone brightly once again, tearing apart a large amount of black matter.

The young man walked into the bloody formation without hesitation.

cold.

From the moment he entered the formation, an extremely strong feeling of coldness surrounded the young man.

The voice of Uncle Lin outside the formation, the screams and wails of the black substance, and even his own breathing and heartbeat became unclear.

The surrounding scenery also became blurred at this moment. I couldn't see clearly where I was and couldn't understand where I had come to.

Don't panic.

The boy took a deep breath.

Uncle Lin said that if you take the wrong path in the formation, you will be lost and it will be difficult to get back to the right path. In that case, it would be difficult for him to get close to the man and there would be no way to chop off his head.

You have to do it yourself!

Take a step forward.

Then turn to the left, take three steps forward, and then one step back.

"Five steps to the right, one step to the left, then two steps to the right!"

Uncle Lin's voice, which was originally so vague that it was almost unrecognizable, suddenly exploded like thunder, allowing the young man to hear it clearly.

Take another step, following Uncle Lin's instructions, walking without missing a step.

The black matter did not attack the boy. Was it because they could not move freely in this formation? Or was it that Uncle Lin was destroying these things outside?

The young man didn't know the specific situation, but that didn't stop him from taking action. He moved forward without hesitation. Once Uncle Lin gave his instructions, he followed them without hesitation, and followed Uncle Lin's instructions step by step in this dark maze.

Rumbling--

It seemed that some violent noise could be heard.

Is it Mr. Lin Yi and his team fighting with that terrible enemy up there?

Since they are already fighting desperately for victory, I must not let them down and I must end all this.

Take another step.

The sounds and images around me seemed to begin to distort.

"This is……"

In the blurry picture, he seemed to see the cottage where he once lived, and his family waiting for him.

Then the next moment, those family members who were looking at him with a smile all fell to the ground covered in blood and died, just like they were when they were killed by Muzan.

Is this an illusion? Just like what I saw on the Infinity Train.

How despicable! They created such an illusion and forced him to see the things of that time again...

"Five steps forward, one step left, then six steps forward!"

Following Uncle Lin's instructions, he once again penetrated the constraints of the illusion array and reached the young man's side.

Tanjiro then moved forward without any confusion, passing through the phantoms of his dead family members and continuing to walk in the dark maze.

Gradually, the darkness around us began to dissipate.

The boy saw the surging black matter exploding under Uncle Lin's repeated attacks.

The glutinous rice scattered all over the ground almost covered half of the underground square. At this moment, the glutinous rice was stained with a dark color, as if it had absorbed some kind of power. The yellow talisman paper was flying all over the sky and burning, and the golden light released by the bronze mirror was running all over the ground, constantly breaking the objects formed by the black shadows one after another.

Uncle Lin, dressed in a yellow Taoist robe, stood among the countless surging black substances. He swung the peach wood sword, and the black substance exploded directly with a loud bang.

The copper coin sword flew out from his side, and the small sword made of the copper coin turned into golden red. It suddenly flew out and pierced through a large area of ​​condensed black shadows, destroying most of these surging things. Then Uncle Lin spoke again.

"Three steps forward, one step back, two steps forward, and he's right in front of you!"

A loud voice sounded, and when Tanjiro took three steps forward, the area behind him suddenly turned into a cliff.

Then Tanjiro stepped on it with a decisive kick, and then he took another step forward, and the surrounding scene quickly changed again.

He saw the man who had turned into a mass of dissolved flesh, with only his half-melted head still struggling and wailing.

"Ah...ah...ah..."

Forced to continuously activate the black substance parasitic in his body, the man's condition at this moment has reached its limit.

The young man suddenly rushed forward, and the broken blade in his hand chopped directly towards the enemy's neck.

No matter how miserable the other party's state is, if you want to sympathize with the evil ghost who harmed others, you can only sympathize with him after he dies. On this principled issue, the boy has never made a mistake.

"no no……"

An arm made of flesh and blood suddenly rose up and grabbed the boy's hand holding the Sun Blade.

I don't want to die yet.

Tanjiro could feel the will transmitted from the other party.

I still want to continue living.

I still have to reach the pinnacle of the spell.

I don’t want to be unknown like this…

"Your desire is not the reason for you to create such an evil place and cause so much killing."

The next moment, the boy's blade directly cut off the evil ghost's arm.

"Do not--"

Amidst an extremely shrill howl, the flesh and blood body suddenly stretched out countless arms, and the dark substance also surged up, trying to completely surround the boy.

Oops, my current physical strength is not enough to block so many attacks, and the attack distance is not enough after the blade breaks.

If this continues—

hum!

The sudden golden light shone and blew up the black matter.

A peach wood sword flew out and pierced through the two bloody arms that were grabbing Tanjiro.
