"Hey~ Hey~ Mr. Tomioka, what do you think about how great it would be if humans and ghosts could understand each other and get along peacefully?"
"That's impossible. As long as ghosts are still eating people, it's impossible for them to live in harmony."
Shinobu Kocho and Giyu Tomioka quickly headed towards Spider Mountain. Both of them were much faster than Usain Bolt. Giyu Tomioka's legs seemed to have electric motors installed, while Shinobu Kocho used her novel-like lightness skills to keep up with Giyu Tomioka in a straight line.
For pillars like them, moving from one location to another to carry out missions is not difficult; they prefer to trust their own two legs rather than rely on transportation.
The two people moved as fast as a gust of wind in the eyes of pedestrians, appearing in a flash and then disappearing in a flash.
Both of them wanted to get to Mount Nagumo as soon as possible, hoping to save as many people as possible. In recent generations, the number of Demon Slayer Corps members has been decreasing, and their average strength has also declined. There are fewer and fewer people who can take on the responsibility of slaying demons, so no member can be abandoned casually.
In the minds of Giyu Tomioka and Shinobu Kocho, Mount Spider should already be a scene of devastation. After arriving at Mount Spider, Shinobu Kocho will mainly be responsible for treating the injured Demon Slayer Corps members, while Giyu Tomioka will deal with the demons of Mount Spider.
With their assignments clearly defined, the two quickly arrived at the foot of Spider Mountain, expecting to encounter ghosts soon, even if they were just minor ones. However, the problem was that they didn't encounter a single ghost.
"Although there are no ghosts, there are very obvious signs of a fight. Mr. Tomioka, that looks like a sword mark left by your faction." Shinobu Kocho pointed to a sword mark on a large tree and said leisurely.
A skilled swordsman can identify the type of sword technique used just by looking at the sword marks.
Tomioka Giyuu raised his eyebrows slightly as he looked at the sword mark. He could tell that the swordsman who left the mark was quite skilled, probably a Class A swordsman. Did a Class A swordsman take care of all the ghosts in the vicinity?
As Yoshiyuki Tomioka continued to look, he discovered many more sword marks that did not belong to the "Class A Swordsman".
There are those who are not highly skilled but have unique and strange sword techniques, and there are those who also possess the Water Breathing technique and have superb sword skills.
At least two Class A members are here. It's understandable that they arrived quickly because they are Pillars, but are Class A members this fast now? If they are young, they might even become Pillars in the future.
Just as the two were pondering, a loud crashing sound of trees being felled and crashing to the ground suddenly came from the distant forest. Tomioka Giyuu and Kocho Shinobu quickly turned their heads to look in that direction and rushed towards it together.
As the two sped along, two... no, three figures gradually appeared in their line of sight.
Giyu Tomioka's eyes narrowed, and he accelerated again, leaping to the front of the group of people in front of him. These people were none other than Tanjiro and his companions who had dealt with the Spider Family.
"I'd like to ask about the situation."
Giyu Tomioka gave a brief explanation, and Shinobu Kocho quickly ran over. It has to be said that, in terms of public appeal, Shinobu Kocho is indeed easier to connect with and has a better reputation among casual observers.
However, Tanjiro knew Giyu Tomioka, since it was Giyu Tomioka who recommended him to study under Urokodaki.
"Mr. Tomioka! It's me! Tanjiro!"
Tanjiro, looking at Giyu Tomioka whom he hadn't seen in a long time, excitedly patted his chest with one hand and said...
Giyu Tomioka then realized who the people in front of him were, while Shinobu Kocho fixed her gaze on Nezuko, who was standing next to Tanjiro.
"She...is she a ghost?"
With a squinting smile, Shinobu Kocho raised her Nichirin Blade. Although Shinobu often talked about whether she could be friends with demons, she was actually always angry because of the shadow cast by the fact that her older sister was killed by a demon. Being friendly with demons was her sister's dream, not hers. She was just pretending to live like her sister.
As Shinobu Kocho raised her Nichirin Blade, this sudden action startled Giyu Tomioka, who hurriedly reached out to draw his own Nichirin Blade to help defend himself, but it was too late to pull the blade from its sheath and swing it.
A metallic clang jolted everyone back to their senses. Tanjiro, standing beside Nezuko, blocked Shinobu's attack with his Nichirin Blade.
"Nezuko is definitely not a bad demon. She has never eaten a single person so far. And now is not the time to discuss this. My sister is probably fighting the Twelve Demon Moons right now!" Tanjiro said through gritted teeth.
Giyu Tomioka and Shinobu Kocho immediately became serious upon hearing the words "Twelve Demon Moons." Even if they were just Lower Moon demons, they were not to be trifled with.
"Go help out first, we'll talk about this later."
"Okay, I agree with you."
Giyu Tomioka and Shinobu Kocho nodded and continued running towards the place where the loud noise had come from.
Although Tanjiro and the others hurriedly followed after Giyu Tomioka and Shinobu Kocho started running, they could not catch up with the two in front of them no matter what they did, and the distance between them grew wider and wider.
This is the strongest person who transcends the ordinary level.
column!
In just a short while, the two arrived at the area where the loud noise had just occurred.
Large trees were cut down and fell to the ground, leaving the ground in a complete mess.
Their gazes immediately fell upon the demon, whose pupils bore the character "δΊ”" (five), a testament to his status as the fifth of the twelve demon moons.
The next instant, their gazes shifted slightly upwards, and a scene they had never imagined came into view.
A girl holding a blue Nichirin Blade stood with one foot on the demon, the blade resting against its neck. Her once-disheveled hairstyle was now quite messy, swaying in the wind.
There was some blood on her body, but she seemed as if she hadn't bled at all, showing no signs of weakness whatsoever. If one had to say anything, the only thing to say was that she was slowly breathing.
I'm tired, that's all.
Seeing Chinatsu's expression, Tomioka Giyuu's poker-faced coldness was forcibly shattered, and he revealed a look of surprise.
He opened his mouth in surprise and delight, and said, "This is incredible! She actually defeated a Lower Moon."
Shinobu Kocho, standing beside him, was experiencing similar emotional fluctuations. The conditions for becoming a Pillar are to slay 50 demons or defeat a Lower Moon demon. According to this rule, they had witnessed the birth of a Pillar...
