It was Uncle Lin who took action, but it was not fast enough, and his magic had no effect on the ghost itself.
"Aha!"
The white fox fire field then spread out.
The injured Lily of the Valley came down at some point, standing at the edge of the maze and performing Originium techniques, covering the entire maze with a foxfire field that could slow down the maze.
The arms that were about to grab the boy slowed down at this moment.
Tanjiro then swung his sword and cut off the arms at the moment. The last remaining blade of the broken sword slashed the man's neck fiercely.
“No… please…”
Click!
The words of begging for mercy had not yet been fully uttered.
The Sun Blade in the boy's hand had already cut down.
The broken head of the man who turned into a ghost flew into the air.
The bloody maze, along with the power within the underground building that the entire formation was connected to, the fog formation that covered the entire city, and the restless ghosts bound within the formation, all dissipated at this moment.
The bloody formation that had claimed countless lives and caused countless tragedies over the past decade was finally broken!
Chapter D-36: Rest in Peace - Yin Hour
The fog in the sky has dissipated at this moment.
Uncle Lin walked out of the dilapidated underground building and looked at the dawn light rising in the sky.
The ghost messengers, who were guided by Uncle Lin to pray for the reincarnation and rest of several monsters summoned by Belle, were now moving underground, towards the deepest part of the earth, the direction where the souls they had always wanted to take away were.
"Ah... ah ah ah..."
The head that was chopped off by the young man was slowly moving, and it was not dead yet.
It seemed that the magical power he originally mastered brought him some kind of benefit after he became a ghost, allowing this evil ghost that should have dissipated immediately to persist for a while and not die immediately.
The sound of a young boy's footsteps could be heard nearby.
The squirming head turned its gaze to the side, and then saw Tanjiro squatting beside it with a broken sword in his hand.
"No... don't kill me... I don't want to die yet... don't..."
The man's voice begged for mercy, and his head gradually broke apart, beginning to turn into dust. Obviously, even though his will to survive was extremely strong, he was still too weak to reach the top three levels of the Upper Ranks, and there was no way to awaken the ability to survive even if his head was cut off.
Is the other party going to execute me?
Am I going to be killed here completely?
"It's fine."
The expected pain did not come.
The young man squatted down and gently patted the man's forehead, then spoke in a calm voice.
"No matter how many people you have hurt or how many wrong things you have done, death at this moment will take you away equally."
"I will not forgive you, because I am not one of those people whose lives you took. But I will not torture you on behalf of those people. After cutting off your head, I will not do anything else to you. Rest in peace."
Amid the gentle words, the man with wide eyes seemed to tremble slightly.
It seems like I remembered some things from the past.
When I was not yet an evolver, when I was just an ordinary apprentice of Taoism.
What did I want to do at that time?
There are some things I can’t remember.
On that day, I was found by the evolution system and asked if I wanted powerful power. I entered the breeding team without knowing anything. I was forced to experience life-and-death missions one after another, struggling to survive and constantly hurting others. The original upright Taoism gradually changed into an extremely sinister and evil technique that violated the way of heaven.
Want to become stronger.
I want to become extremely powerful, so I joined the Evolvers.
But everything that followed, everything he experienced afterwards, were they really what he wanted?
I...
I……
The warm body temperature came from the remaining sensation on the forehead.
Is that so...
Finally I remembered the original purpose.
I remembered how I first lived in the village, being hated by others because of my ugly appearance and deformed body, being looked down upon because I was too thin to work in the fields, and being despised by everyone because I had no talent for studying. Even my parents who raised me were ridiculed for raising a money-loser.
He became an apprentice of Taoism and worked hard to become stronger. His original purpose was actually just to make his parents respected and to prevent them from being looked down upon.
But after being deceived by the Evolver System, he was forced to stain his hands with blood and actively hurt others. Now that he has reshaped his body and become stronger than before, he has forgotten his original purpose and can never go back to his father and mother.
What on earth have I been doing all these years...
Turbid tears flowed down in large drops.
The man's head finally dissipated, turning into ashes and drifting away with the wind.
Tanjiro stood quietly beside the man, watching him completely disappear without a trace, then he sighed softly.
His soul was taken away by the ghost soldiers who had been waiting here for a long time. He will be reborn in the reincarnation of this world. Of course, he can only be reborn after redeeming his sins and the resentment that entangles him has dissipated.
As for how to judge the sins of these outsiders, that is a problem that the underworld of this world needs to worry about, and has nothing to do with the savior who has completed his mission.
【Confirm that the factors endangering civilization have been eliminated】
[This civilization has been confirmed to be able to develop normally and sustainably]
[Supporter mission completed, completion rate 100%]
[Thank you for your hard work, savior]
The system prompt sounded when the head was cut off.
Although the mission ended in victory under the actions of the Evolvers, the casualties were extremely heavy. An entire city was wiped out, and the smell of blood still permeates the ruins. It is unknown how the people of this world will view such a tragedy.
"He looked as if he was very emotional."
Lin Yi's voice sounded beside Tanjiro.
"Mr. Lin Yi."
Turning around, the young man looked at Lin Yi, who was covered in dust and wounds, and had obviously experienced a tough battle. He quickly took out the Holy Grail bottle that Lin Yi had given him and returned it to the other party so that Lin Yi could heal his wounds.
"What you just did, um, is it considered saving the other person's soul?"
Lin Yi took the Holy Grail bottle, took a sip, then handed the bottle to Tomioka Giyuu beside him and asked casually.
"These people who have become ghosts, whether they like it or not, will inevitably become murderous demons. Now that they have already met their death, at least in the end, I hope that they can remember a little bit about their past as humans."
The young man said this with a look of sadness in his eyes.
"...Is that so? Then you are really a gentle person."
Lin Yi sighed and said, Tomioka Giyu refused the Holy Grail bottle he offered, saying that the Demon Slayer Corps would be able to heal his broken arm after returning to the community.
If the person who just killed the demon was not Tanjiro but Lin Yi, he probably would not let the other party die so easily.
The ghost den in the southern suburbs was built by killing many people. This guy who turned into a ghost had committed numerous crimes no matter what. Lin Yi would definitely not be satisfied if he didn't die miserably. Even if he killed him, he would definitely curse him a few words before he died.
Forget it. Although Tanjiro is a kind kid, he is not someone who cannot distinguish between the important and the unimportant. He knows what should be done and what should not be done, so just respect his thoughts on this point.
"This volunteer mission was able to capture Muzan's traces, and also confirmed the deaths of Upper Rank One and Upper Rank Six. This is really a great thing. It seems that as long as we can find a way to track this team of evolvers named [Qianyou], we will have a chance to find Muzan Kibutsuji and kill this evil ghost once and for all! This cooperation is very pleasant, haha, I hope to repay Mr. Lin Yi for saving my life!"
Rengoku Kyojuro's voice was still high. After a tough battle, he looked full of energy and not tired at all.
Well, considering that Lin Yi was the main person taking the damage, it was normal for him to be so relaxed. Although without the support of the Flame and Water Pillars, Lin Yi would have had a harder time, and it was possible that he would be torn apart by Belle before he had a chance to use the Cursed Bullet.
So this guy is a bit too strong, fighting three people at once, and if they hadn't cursed the bullets, they might not have been able to kill him. And judging from the changes in the underground ritual site, the enemy may have many methods that they haven't used yet, and they are deliberately using a few fighting methods to fight them. Even in this case, we have to consider that this is just an avatar of the enemy, not his real body.
"A troublesome guy, um, does he claim to be the leader of the E-class Evolver team?"
Lin Yi complained in a low voice and couldn't help but start thinking about the level issue mentioned by the other party.
If the E-level Evolver corresponds to the Savior level, then the E-level Savior should be the one who can confront the E-level Evolver head-on. And this level of Evolver, according to the Savior system, should be able to fight against the basic military force of planetary civilizations and be able to solve city-level disasters alone.
The city-level disaster here is literally the kind of nuclear bomb-level destructive power that destroys the entire city in one go. For example, the maximum output of the summoning candle used by Lin Yi before, the trick of summoning thermonuclear radiation, is something that can be dealt with by E-level saviors in the judgment of the savior system. Only saviors who will not be killed by such attacks can be rated as E-level. As for the so-called basic military power of the planetary civilization, it can be understood that all military forces except the final blow that can destroy the planet can be dealt with by the savior. Whether it is a giant ship cannon or a saturation fire bombing, the system considers it to be basic military power. Well, it may be more appropriate to understand that the system does not look down on it.
In short, with my current strength, I'm afraid I really can't fight against that kind of enemy. Perhaps it is for this reason that I only encountered a clone of Beller in this mission. After all, if the opponent's real body descended, his strength would completely suppress me, and I would not be able to build a relatively fair [gamble].
The gamble of the Evolver System...
Lin Yi's eyes were slightly gloomy.
The people in this city have been killed or injured. Even if this world has the ability of reincarnation, those people are already dead. Their friends and family have lost them forever. Even if they are reincarnated, the person who lives again will have no connection with the karma of the previous life.
It's really unpleasant.
Lin Yi felt very unhappy about this.
I'll keep this grudge for now, Belle? Next time, I'll consider chopping off your head and using it to clean the toilet, and then offering it to that evil god of good smells.
"Ouch, my head hurts..."
With the support of Gu Mingji Jue, Linglan, with blood still flowing on one side of her cheek, spoke in a low voice, and Lin Yi noticed her situation.
"Take a sip. If you go back to Rhodes Island injured, it will definitely attract attention."
Lin Yi walked forward and handed over the Holy Grail bottle, and in order to prevent the other party from refusing like Tomioka Giyuu, he made a special explanation.
"Well, thank you, Mr. Lin Yi."
The little fox girl thanked him obediently, took the holy grail bottle and took a small sip, and the wound on her forehead healed immediately.
"Next time you participate in a volunteer mission, you'd better improve your strength. I now find that the Savior System really has a grudge against the Saviors who participate in volunteer missions. The difficulty information it provides is not as accurate as that of regular missions. All kinds of weird things may pop up."
Lin Yi complained to the two girls in front of him, with a hint of resentment in his voice.
After all, the monsters that appeared in these two Spark-level volunteer missions are not at the same level compared to the rescuer missions of the same level that Lin Yi participated in. You have to know that the boss in the town at that time was something that Tanjiro, who did not have the spotted red sword, could face head-on. If it were the current Tanjiro, he would probably just kill them all by himself. Then look at these two missions again. Not to mention the super zombies in the previous mission, each of them was an expert at demolishing buildings. This time, an evolver appeared directly, so powerful that Lin Yi was sure that he would be killed in a one-on-one fight. Lin Yi estimated that if he really followed the system's regular classification, this mission would at least be classified as Vlam-level.
"After all, the volunteer mission was originally opened by the Savior System. This is a way to dissuade people from doing so."
At this time, Iino turned into a physical entity and appeared beside Lin Yi, speaking helplessly.
The so-called voluntary missions, which are to cut off the source of danger before the target civilization is really on the verge of extinction, are unnecessary in the eyes of the savior system, which advocates not interfering too much with civilization. It was only after many saviors jointly protested that the system was forced to open up such missions, allowing saviors to directly intervene in civilization before the crisis breaks out.
Looking at it from the bright side, this can avoid greater casualties.
As for connecting it from the bad side, well, if you look into it in detail, there are naturally many corresponding problems, but that is not what Lin Yi needs to worry about now.
"Huh, this mission is really tiring. Anyway, let's call it a day and go home. Let's go for a walk."
Lin Yi stretched his shoulders and spoke to everyone present.
"Yes, the real business is over, so it's almost time to move on to the next step."
Gu Mingji Jue's gaze drifted over Iino who was staring at Lin Yi. A slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he spoke softly with hidden meaning.
Then she took a step forward.
Just like that, the monster girl walked up to Lin Yi, who didn't know what would happen, under everyone's gaze.
Then, as Iino was staring in shock, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Lin Yi's collar, forcing him to lower his head, then stood on tiptoes and kissed him.
Interlude 4-01: My nose is sore
What are you doing?
Lin Yi really wanted to ask this.
But he couldn't ask.
Because Gu Mingji's tongue had already entered his mouth, pressing against his tongue, making him unable to speak.
Well, the movements are very skillful. After all, we have kissed quite a lot these days.
But the problem is huge.
The problem is quite huge!
Xiaowu, what are you doing?
