"Impossible, impossible, impossible! How can you be so strong? I'm a demon who received that master's power, not a mere human..."
Lying on the ground, Rui was still unable to accept the reality of his defeat. Qianxia shook her head slightly at Rui's appearance and interrupted his mutterings, saying, "This world is very big. You are just living on a small mountain. Do you really want to become invincible?"
Chinatsu wouldn't treat a pitiful demon kindly before killing him like Tanjiro would. If he were truly pitiful, then she shouldn't be the one showing mercy.
It is God's work to judge your sins.
My job is to send you to meet God.
Chinatsu wouldn't use "Heavenly Merciful Rain" to deliver a merciful blow to Rui, nor would she use Hinokami Kagura to inflict excruciating pain upon him.
With a "whoosh!" sound, the sharp slash severed the body and head, the head rolling twice on the ground before its eyes stared blankly at the sky.
We lost...we lost completely.
After glancing at him a few times with her Nichirin Blade in hand, Chika turned her head away and stopped looking at him. Only then did she notice Giyu Tomioka and Shinobu Kocho, who were standing not far away watching.
Who are you?
Chika feigned confusion and asked a question. Just as Shinobu was about to speak, Tanjiro and the others finally arrived from behind.
"Sister! Are you alright?!"
Tanjiro rushed to Chinatsu's side, as if he wanted to give her a full-body check-up.
"It's nothing, you know my body, it's just a minor injury, it's just... um... a little tired... and a little sleepy..." Qianxia said, exhaling a breath and rubbing her eyes.
Tanjiro thought about his older sister's recovery ability and felt a little more at ease.
Giyu Tomioka and Shinobu Kocho stood to one side, both with question marks on their faces, especially Giyu Tomioka.
Tanjiro and this demon sister, Giyu Tomioka said he knew each other, but this "older sister", wasn't the Kamado family slaughtered by Muzan and only the two of them survived?
There were so many questions, but seeing the harmonious atmosphere between the siblings, I didn't know how to interject.
Fortunately, Zenitsu was there to keep things lively. A dozen seconds after Tanjiro and Nezuko arrived, he finally ran over, panting.
"You...you guys are running...running too fast...wait for me..." Zenitsu ran to Giyu Tomioka and Shinobu Kocho, bent over with his head down, his hands covering his knees, panting heavily.
When he looked up, Shinobu Kocho appeared before him. She squinted at Zenitsu and smiled, saying, "Um~ could you introduce them to us?"
As she spoke, she pointed a finger in that direction at Chinatsu and the others. Zenitsu's lips twitched slightly. If she were to talk about them, there would be no end to it.
Zenitsu then used concise language to tell the two people in front of him about everything from what happened during the final selection to what had happened recently.
I had heard of the two geniuses in the final selection, Giyu Tomioka and Shinobu Kocho, and their expressions changed noticeably after hearing that they had mastered "Total Concentration: Normal Mode".
"With such talent, he's bound to become a pillar in the future."
"Now one person has become a pillar."
Yoshiyuki Tomioka said calmly that, based on what they had just witnessed, once they returned to headquarters and told their lord about it, the title of Pillar would definitely be earned.
Shinobu Kocho looked at the group of people over there with a subtle expression, especially Nezuko.
It was indeed a ghost, but it showed no signs of harming people. Was it really a ghost that didn't eat people? Did such a ghost really exist?
Shinobu lowered her head slightly, feeling conflicted.
Yoshiyuki Tomioka slowly walked up to Chika and the others. Everyone turned to look at Yoshiyuki Tomioka, as if they were all waiting for the other to speak. This wait lasted for a minute.
After a minute of silence, Giyu Tomioka finally opened his mouth, breaking the silence.
"You...come back to headquarters with us."
Chinatsu and Tanjiro will definitely become the core fighting force of the Demon Slayer Corps in the future. Since that's the case, Nezuko's fact that she is a demon can no longer be kept a secret. She has to go back and get to know the Master and the other Pillars to work things out.
The other pillars shouldn't react too strongly, especially the Love Pillar, but the Wind Pillar...
"Okay, let's go to headquarters then."
Since Chinatsu agreed to Giyu Tomioka's request, Tanjiro and Nezuko naturally wouldn't refuse.
Go to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters to verify Nezuko's identity and gain more recognition for her.
Zenitsu was furious.
Lying to the side, feeling... no, truly ignored, Inosuke was even more annoyed. He just hadn't said anything, so don't treat me like I don't exist!
After a brief reorganization, the group headed to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters. Before heading there, the situation inside Spider Mountain was reported to headquarters through crows.
Upon receiving this information from the crow, the Demon Slayer Corps leader smiled with delight, though he subsequently coughed heavily, but it didn't matter.
"Defeated Lower Moon Five... another rising star. Perhaps Muzan can be defeated in this era... No, he must be defeated in this era. We can't delay any longer! Kibutsuji Muzan, the disgrace of our family!!!"
Muzan Kibutsuji belongs to the same family as the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps. A thousand years ago, Muzan was a young man in the family who was seriously ill. Many doctors could not cure him, but only one special doctor did not give up and continued to treat Muzan.
However, Muzan killed the doctor during this process. After killing the doctor, Muzan discovered that he had become a demon. After searching through the doctor's notes, he found that the doctor had developed a special drug.
This potion turned Muzan into a demon, granting him immense power, but it also made him fear sunlight and crave blood.
When Muzan finished reading the notes, he discovered that the potion was not yet complete. If he could find something called "Blue Spider Lily," he would be able to overcome the sunlight.
After Muzan became a demon and slaughtered humans, his entire family was cursed by heaven. The curse was temporarily relieved by the ancestors' vow to do everything in their power to kill Muzan and to marry a priestess in each generation. However, no one could live to the age of 25. The curse could only be truly removed if Muzan was successfully killed.
The lord sat weakly on the ground, panting heavily, with large areas of burn-like injuries on his face.
"This generation...must...must..."
