Himejima Gyomei's Nichirin Blade is a masterpiece among masterpieces. Its shape is different from that of a regular Nichirin Blade, and the ore used to forge it is far purer than that of a regular Nichirin Blade, making it harder and stronger than a regular Nichirin Blade.
In the original work, Gyomei Himejima did not attempt to hand-craft the Crimson Blade. Instead, he activated it by using his unique Nichirin Blade, which was connected by a chain on one side of the axe to rub against the meteor hammer connected on the other side.
Himejima Gyomei looked down at his hands gripping the chains. Of course, this was just a symbolic bow. Himejima Gyomei was born blind, but despite this, he still lived a normal life and even developed such a physique. This shows just how strong his willpower was.
As he took a deep breath, all the power in his body began to rapidly gather and finally condense in his palm.
He loosened the chains slightly one second and then tightened them again the next. A powerful grip began to flow into the chains, and that warmth was not only a symbol of his grip strength but also a symbol of Kyōmei Himejima's enlightenment.
Time passed second by second, and beads of sweat gradually appeared on the serious face of Himejima Gyomei.
It is very difficult to forge a crimson blade by hand. In the original work, the Mist Hashira and the Serpent Hashira forged their crimson blades in a life-or-death moment. From a metaphysical perspective, it can be said that in a life-or-death moment, the two people's indomitable willpower was injected into the Nichirin Blade and received its response.
Is it because it's not a matter of life and death that it can't be done by hand?
As a Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, he has been fighting demons on the brink of life and death for many years. Even without conscious effort, these life-or-death moments have already left a deep "mark" on his body.
With a profound understanding of life and death, the power of his spirit and body was channeled into the Nichirin Blade in his hand. Finally, Himejima Gyomei's Nichirin Blade reacted, and a vivid red color gradually emerged until it completely covered the axes and meteor hammers on both sides of the chain.
Hand-forged Crimson Blade!!!
Everyone watched with trembling eyes as Himejima Gyomei activated the Crimson Blade on his own, their expressions filled with shock, followed by... joy!
Because the success of Himejima Gyomei indicates that this method is possible. Even if their grip strength is not yet sufficient, they have a goal, so all they need to do is charge towards that goal with all their might!
A manually activated Crimson Blade is more strategically significant than a Crimson Blade that needs to be prepared in advance, as it can catch the Oni off guard!
Seeing the excited looks on everyone's faces, Qianxia lowered her head slightly, a smile of satisfaction on her lips, like a mother watching her children grow up.
Great, that's exactly what I wanted!
The room was in an uproar until the smiling lord gently clapped his hands. Only then did the people around him react, and some of them shut their mouths in shame and quieted down.
"I understand everyone is excited, and so am I. This is a major discovery that will definitely bring about significant changes to our future demon-slaying operations. However, until everyone has fully mastered this technique, please try not to show it in front of demons."
As the lord spoke, he extended a finger and placed it between his lips. Everyone immediately understood, and almost everyone in front of him wore a villainous expression.
It has always been ghosts who launch sneak attacks and ambush people.
It's time to sound the horn of counterattack!
Just as the meeting was about to come to a successful conclusion, the lord turned his head slightly, turning towards Kyojuro and Chinatsu.
"By the way, this type of Nichirin Blade doesn't have a name yet. Since it was born from the battle between the two of you, then you two can name it."
Choose a name!
The three major overpowered elements in the Demon Slayer worldview are the Demon Slayer Mark, the Transparent World, and the Crimson Blade. Apart from the Demon Slayer Mark, which is documented, the other two are merely narration settings. No one actually says "Take this Crimson Blade!" during a battle.
Kyojuro raised his head slightly and fell into deep thought. After a brief moment of contemplation, he smiled and turned to look at Chika beside him, handing over the naming rights to Chika. At the same time, the surrounding Pillars were also looking at Chika.
Chinatsu could easily change the name "Crimson Blade" to any other name. If she were even more shameless and roguish, she could even use her own name.
For example... Chika no Kata?
Um... never mind.
"This is essentially a Nichirin Blade in a high-temperature state, let's just call it a Crimson Blade, it's easy to understand." Chika held up one finger and said with a smile.
"Hei Dao... Hei Dao... Hmm! What a great name!"
Kyojuro, standing next to Chika, muttered the name a few times, then crossed his arms, raised his head, and exclaimed in praise. Everyone around him agreed that the name was good.
Thus, the Demon Slayer Corps fully embraced the concept of "Crimson Blade" and began intensive training in grip strength, striving to be able to wield a Crimson Blade by hand like Gyomei Himejima. Chinatsu was no exception, but after Gyomei Himejima succeeded, Chinatsu also gained confidence in this area.
Chika's physical abilities far surpass those of ordinary people, and there is no sign of her reaching her limit. Training among so many people with superhuman strength naturally leads to rapid improvement in her grip strength.
From initially being barely stronger than the Love Pillar to steadily surpassing the male Pillars and possessing the strongest physique second only to humans, the entire process took only a week or two.
Under intensive training, Chinatsu became the second person to successfully create a crimson blade by hand. The Flame Pillar, Sound Pillar, and Water Pillar followed closely behind, and the Serpent Pillar and Mist Pillar also had the feeling of creating a crimson blade by hand. With a period of further training, they should be able to unlock it as well.
After mastering the Crimson Blade, Chinatsu said goodbye to the Pillars and stopped hanging out with them. It wouldn't be long before she went back to check on Tanjiro and Nezuko.
"The weather is really nice today," Chika sighed, tilting her head slightly as she looked at the weather. She thought to herself, "It's such a nice day, it's a pity Nezuko doesn't dare to come out and enjoy it."
Nezuko is special; she is not afraid of sunlight, but she is not aware of it yet. She belongs to the type who is afraid in her heart but not in her body.
As Chinatsu muttered that she needed to think of a way to get Nezuko to take a reasonable step, she suddenly stopped in her tracks when she arrived at her room at headquarters.
What did she see?
In her line of sight, she saw Nezuko standing in the sunlight in the open space of her residence, even tilting her head slightly to look directly at the blue sky, white clouds and sun.
Upon noticing someone approaching, she lowered her head slightly to look at Chika. When she realized it was her older sister, she happily opened her mouth and revealed a bright smile.
"elder sister!"
