Chapter 128 Demon Slayer ends with a sword. In traditional concepts...
The knife has a very special meaning in traditional concepts.
Suzuki Kawa is not very good at using a sword, nor does he know any fancy sword moves or knife techniques. When he was in the Demon Slayer Corps, he saw Yan Sheng wielding a sword, and later he saw Yunyi teaching others the breathing sword technique, but he didn't feel anything at all.
He also had no intention of using breathing sword techniques to kill these swordsmen.
The long sword in his hand, outlined by spiritual flames, is the most common style on the market, but it has become translucent. Suzuki Kawa shook his wrist, and the blue flame also swayed.
He originally thought that the system would need to take action, but it seems that he overestimated it.
With the approaching blazing blade reflected in his eyes, Suzuki Kawa's face returned to calm. He raised his long sword, his golden hair flying with his movements, and his handsome face, illuminated by the firelight, looked like a god.
The shape of the spiritual long sword seemed too small in this large area of flaming blade light.
Veins bulged on Suzuki Kawa's arms, and his long sword madly cut through the attack of the God of Fire Kagura at a speed invisible to the naked eye. Amidst the overwhelming fighting skills that seemed like the Breathing of the Sun, his face was burning, his skin was on fire, and even his eyes seemed to be on fire.
As bright as the sun, it kills evil spirits.
Tanjiro Kamado swung the Nichirin Sword and it collided with the translucent long sword. The red blade and the blue flame almost merged into one, and the two eyes met again.
This time, there was no smile in Suzuki Kawa's eyes.
His sword moves in an irregular manner, relying on speed to win. In this sea of fire formed by the breathing of the sun, he tore a path and went straight to the boy's face.
The back of the boy's hand had turned white, the blood vessels were clearly visible, and his teeth began to tremble from the force.
The ghost in front of him was almost engulfed in flames.
——You can burn my flesh, kill my cells, chop my bones, and cut off my head.
—You can never kill my soul.
——You will never be able to kill the faith that countless cannibals in the darkness have worshipped for four hundred years.
No... He wants to avenge everyone and can't let everyone die in vain!
His mother, brothers and sisters are all waiting for his revenge!
That snowy night was colder than any other time in life. He walked in the mountains with his sister on his back, feeling lonely and helpless.
At that time, he vowed to kill the guy who destroyed his family.
Even if it means death, I will not refuse!
The demon in front of him had been engulfed by the flames of the Sun Breathing. Tanjiro Kamado did not dare to relax and continued to increase the strength in his hands. As long as the Sun Blade could defeat the strange sword, then there would be hope of victory.
The flame reflected in his eyes began to go out and melt from a corner. Tanjiro Kamado opened his eyes wide in horror, looking at the scene so close to him in disbelief.
The half-long blonde hair was still beautiful and eye-catching, but the face of the ghost in front of him looked several years younger, with a more childish and delicate look between his eyebrows. His bright purple eyes reflected the firelight, and the blue one deepened in color, but the "zero" font disappeared.
The blond boy held the long sword in his slender fingers and stared at Tanjiro Kamado in front of him with a wanton smile on his face.
The long sword outlined by the spiritual flame suddenly burst out with a force that Tanjiro Kamado could never bear, and once again chopped the Sun Blade in his hand into pieces. Then, when he had no time to dodge, the blue flame burned his soul.
The blond boy was wearing a black uniform with a stand-up collar, which was commonly worn by high school students in the future. He kicked his opponent away, swung the long sword in his hand, and a green light danced. The fragments of the Sun Blade at his feet fell to the ground. The hard ore that could chop off the head of an upper-rank monk was extremely fragile in front of him.
He turned his head and looked at the girl flying towards him. With a "tsk" sound, the long sword changed direction and stabbed out along the elbow, piercing the girl's body.
"Forehead--!"
The young man tilted his head and glanced at the mess on the ground, with a high-spirited smile on his face.
“Is this my past?”
"Are you the so-called protagonists?"
"Real food!"
He laughed heartily, swung his arm, threw the girl who was stabbed by the knife away, and clapped his hands as if to brush off the dirt.
The young man took a step forward and walked towards those opponents who were not completely dead yet. He opened his arms and felt the starlight bathing him.
"Your knife is too powerful and too hot. It has set my already cooled blood on fire."
The night wind blew his hair, leaving it the same length as when he was in high school. He looked like a young sixteen-year-old, with an unbridled smile on his face, squatting beside Tanjiro Kamado.
"Tanjiro, you might have a chance to kill me four hundred years from now," Suzuki Kawa reached out, pulled off his sun-patterned earrings, and looked down at him, "but the sixteen-year-old me was invincible."
The smell of blood behind him gradually became stronger, and Tanjiro Kamado had little breath left.
Suzuki Chuan tossed the sun-patterned earrings in his hand and said with a grin, "Yuichi, goodbye. Let's reincarnate together with your breathing technique."
He stood up, raised his arm, and threw the sun-patterned earrings into the sky. They immediately caught fire and ashes fell down.
The era of breathing techniques came to a tragic end with the scattered ashes.
"Who isn't the protagonist of a shonen manga?" He muttered as he watched the ashes turn into nothingness, then turned around and looked at Ando Tsukasa who was frantically finishing off the enemy not far away.
Ando Tsukasa noticed his gaze and looked up, waving at him: "I'll be right there, Boss!"
Then he buried his head in his work. Three seconds later, Ando Si suddenly looked up and said, "Boss, when did you get your hair cut?"
Why is she shorter? And why do she look younger than him? —Oh no, her expression is still the same.
Suzuki Kawa came over with his hands in his pockets, glanced at the mess on the ground, and said, "Ubuyashiki, are you done?"
"Leave it to me!"
Ando Si patted his chest and looked at Suzuki Kawa, his face changed drastically. There were corpses all around him. He didn't feel anything unusual just now, but now that Suzuki Kawa was approaching, he immediately felt the terrifying message: "Boss, you, you, how did you become a human?"
Still a purebred!
He had a wary look on his face: “Who are you? Give my boss back to me—Ouch!!”
After being hit hard, Ando Tsukasa covered his face with his hands and cried. This familiar feeling, this familiar strength, and the boss's familiar cold death gaze, if he had known earlier, he would not have said such a mean thing...
And slap in the face...
Suzuki Kawa retracted his hand: "Where is Kokushibo?"
"I carried him back to the yard." Ando Tsukasa said honestly.
"Yeah." Suzuki Kawa nodded and raised his hand. Ando Tsukasa subconsciously shrank his neck. He looked at this useless subordinate with contempt and summoned the psychic flame.
The flames flew towards the corpse and quickly burned it clean, cleaning up the blood stains on the ground.
Suzuki Kawa turned around and walked towards the yard. The place where the fight took place was a little distance away from the yard, so it didn't cause much damage to the yard.
"I noticed a kid trying to sneak into the yard, and I caught him." Ando Tsukasa followed him with his face covered.
"You go and deal with Muzan's body." Suzuki Kawa said.
"Ah? Me?" Ando Tsukasa was stunned, then came to his senses and hurriedly caught up with Suzuki Kawa.
Suzuki Kawa: "Then you and Kokushibo can split it equally. I'm a human now. Do you want me to eat it?" His words were full of disgust.
Ando Tsukasa was curious: "How did the boss turn back into a human?"
Suzuki Chuan's eyes flashed, he turned his head and smiled: "Don't you think this face looks familiar?"
Seeing Ando Tsukasa standing there, Suzuki Kawa turned around and walked towards the room where Kokushibo was.
Ando Tsukasa stood there. He had a good memory, but now he felt a little dazed, and his brain was working sometimes well and sometimes not.
Yes, it does look familiar, exactly the same as the anime he watched...
What was the ending of the first season... Suzuki Kawa was in a coma, then Megumi Fushiguro said he was going to Yokohama, the four natural disaster curse spirits were resolved, and the exchange between Tokyo Curse High and Kyoto Curse High was passed without any danger. Only the follow-up of Sukuna has not been explained. People on the forum said that it will be kept in the second season.
Ando Tsukasa shuddered. Could the boss's current body be his original body?
-
"You...became human."
Inside the house, Kokushibo sat on one side, opposite Suzuki Kawa.
Hearing his words, Suzuki Kawa nodded and said, "That body must die."
As the body of the Demon King, if his death is not certain, it will be difficult for him to save the two demons, Kokushibo and Ando Tsukasa.
Suzuki Kawa from the Warring States Period was confirmed dead tonight four hundred years later.
The modern Suzuki River has officially awakened.
He turned his head to look at Kokushibo. Compared to his previous body, the facial features of his original body were more profound. The young man smiled and said, "I have given my power to Ando. How long has Yan Sheng not seen the sun?"
“…I don’t like the sun.”
Suzuki Chuan stood up and looked outside: "It's almost dawn, Yan Sheng."
"Ogawa——"
"You don't have to apologize to me, Yan Sheng."
Suzuki Chuan walked out of the house, and the boy's voice was childish: "If there is a chance, see you in a hundred years."
In the sky, the first ray of morning light slowly arrived, falling on the earth and outlining his figure.
He walked quietly towards his era.
The electronic sound of the system determining that the mission was a complete success rang out around the world.

[New identities unlocked: Ghost King (frozen), Mysterious Novelist (active)]
【Unlock the mysterious novelist background,】
During the Taisho era, the "Hyakkishu" (A Thousand Demons) debuted, its thrillingly realistic language, fragmented yet cohesive characters, and bizarre stories becoming a popular favorite. The series comprises seven volumes, each containing twelve stories, chronicling the experiences of nearly a hundred demons. The series spans the Warring States period and continues through the Meiji Restoration, drawing on significant contemporary events. The author's meticulous historical research earned him widespread acclaim from his contemporaries.
It's worth mentioning that the identity of Suzuki Kawa, the author of "Hyakkishu," is extremely mysterious. According to the head of the "Asakusa Shimbun," which first published the story, the manuscripts were either delivered by investors or collected from downstairs at a high-end hotel. Their staff never saw Mr. Suzuki's face, but from where he lived, it was clear that he was a man of extremely refined tastes.
However, Suzuki Kawa only lived in that high-end hotel for a few months before moving out. After hearing what the interviewer said, someone at a nearby cafe remembered that there was indeed a unique young man who frequently visited the cafe.
Because of her striking appearance and demeanor, she left a lasting impression on the staff. After a tireless search, the interviewers finally found a casual photo taken in a cafe 20 years later. The photo shows a couple smiling broadly, but in the corner, a young man, waiting at the counter for his coffee to be packed, casually glances over.
Despite the blurry pixels, one could still sense the youth's remarkable appearance and figure. After the series was completed in major newspapers, "A Hundred Demons" was officially collected and published as a book. Once released, it became the hottest novel of the day.
[It had a significant influence on the formation of the horror genre. However, because the stories in "Hyakkishu" are largely fictional and incorporate the author's fantastical imagination, its influence on horror fiction was limited. Horror novelists tended to imitate Suzuki Kawa's horrifying and realistic writing style, depicting gory scenes, often achieving remarkable results.]
From its first publication until its completion, "Hyakkishu" remained a bestseller for nearly fifty years. However, Suzuki Kawa never produced a sequel, and he only wrote one work in his lifetime. The proceeds from "Hyakkishu" were authorized by Suzuki Kawa himself and distributed to the Suzuki clan, a powerful family in Tokyo, to support orphans.
Suzuki Kawaki is known as the most mysterious novelist of the Taisho era. Some say that if his stories, apart from the supernatural and mysterious elements, were to be substituted into real people, they would undoubtedly be suspenseful cases that reflect the distortions of human nature.
