“System, use the World Consciousness Commission; it’s time for us to go to another world!”
“Used.
Target world: demon slayer.
Mission Commission: Please invite the Demon King Muzan to come out and sunbathe and treat him to a cup of Wisteria Tea.
PS: The time flow ratio between the two worlds is three to one; please arrange your time properly, Host.”
Emmm, demon slayer?
I seem to have some impression of it, but I only watched two or three episodes; I haven’t seen the rest.
I only know the protagonist is a charcoal seller whose family was killed by demons, leaving only a sister who also turned into a demon.
His name was Kamado-something-rou?
It’s been too long, I can’t remember clearly.
But it’s no big deal.
She remembers that the combat ceiling in demon slayer isn’t very high; besides the Breathing Style and the color-changing nichirin sword being somewhat mystical, everything else is fine.
“World travel will initiate in thirty seconds.
Please be prepared, Host.”
“30…
29…
10…
8…
7…
2…
1.”
Hearing the system’s countdown, Rukia stood up.
After transmitting her instructions to the Ice Clone, a pitch-black opening suddenly tore open in the space before her, with silver light flashing inside from time to time.
After confirming once more that she hadn’t left anything behind, she stepped into it.
At the same time, in the world of demon slayer, Kanae Kocho encountered the most powerful enemy of her life.
With white-oak hair, rainbow-colored eyes, and the top of his head looking as if blood had been poured over it, it was none other than Upper Rank Two—Douma.
“Ara ara, in order to not let your Demon Slayer Corps find out, I worked hard to keep the Eternal Paradise Cult followers at around two hundred and fifty people.
Yet, I was still discovered by you.
But I didn’t expect the Hashira who came would be such a beautiful young lady.
So, would you like to enjoy eternal life with me?”
Douma said to Kanae Kocho with a gentle smile on his face.
“What is this eternal life you speak of?
Turning others into demons?
Don’t be ridiculous.
Do you think I would agree to such an absurd request?” Kanae said in a resonant voice.
“No, no, no, it’s not about becoming a demon.
The eternal life I’m talking about is becoming one with me—that is, being eaten by me.” Douma still had a smile on his face, but the words he spoke were bone-chilling.
“What did you say?
Eaten?
So you’re saying all the girls who joined the Eternal Paradise Cult nearby were eaten by you alone?” Kanae appeared somewhat shocked.
She had initially thought those so-called girls seeking eternal life were just deceived by a demon and turned into demons, but she hadn’t expected them to all be eaten by the demon before her.
This added up to a total of over fifty people, and that was just what could currently be traced.
Every one of the Upper Rank Demons has existed for hundreds of years; it was unimaginable how many people he had eaten in his life.
“That’s right.
Seeing the expressions of release on those girls’ faces makes my heart feel immense happiness.
Granting salvation to those who suffer—that is the dogma of my Eternal Paradise Cult!” Douma said with a smile.
“So, what is your answer?
Do you want to go on the path to eternal life with me?”
“There’s a limit to joking.
I will not agree to your offer.
Take this!
Flower Breathing, Fourth Form: Crimson Hanagoromo!” Kanae shouted angrily, then lunged fiercely at Douma, while the nichirin sword in her hand delivered a curved double-strike from bottom to top toward Douma.
“How regrettable.
Blood Demon Art: Barren Hanging Lotuses.” Douma seemed a bit disappointed by Kanae’s refusal.
Facing the incoming strike, Douma unhurriedly pulled back to create distance while using Barren Hanging Lotuses to create a large number of ice vines to entwine Kanae.
Seeing this, Kanae forcibly withdrew her move, then instantly released curved strikes in all directions with a trajectory like plum blossom petals.
“Flower Breathing, Third Form: Honorable Shadow Plum.”
The strikes sent in all directions shattered Douma’s ice vines.
Stepping forward to rapidly close the distance with Douma, she raised the nichirin sword in her hand to slash at Douma’s neck.
“Blood Demon Art: Lotus Ice.”
Seeing Kanae trying to close the distance, Douma did not repeat his previous action.
Instead, he waved his pair of fans to scatter lotus-shaped ice crystals.
these ice crystals can freeze a person’s skin, and if inhaled, they will cause damage to the alveoli, dealing fatal damage to the lungs.
But Kanae was seen performing a side flip in the air, gracefully dodging Douma’s Scattering Lotuses like a beautiful butterfly, while simultaneously swinging her blade in a horizontal slash to continue attacking Douma’s neck.
“Flower Breathing, Sixth Form: Whirling Peach.”
Unable to dodge in time, Douma could only raise both hands to forcibly block this fatal strike with his hands.
*Clatter.*
Douma’s hands were severed at the base and fell to the ground, but Douma was not worried because of this.
He simply said: “Do you know where the essential difference between humans and demons lies?
It’s that we have a self-healing ability that you can’t even hope to match.
No matter how serious the injury, it can recover on its own, just like this!”
As Douma’s voice fell, the flesh at the severed stumps writhed, and then two perfectly intact palms grew out from them, as if they had never been severed.
If not for the two severed hands on the ground, it would seem as if the hands just cut off were an illusion.
“That was really dangerous just now; you almost let you cut off my head.
You are truly strong, but do you still have the strength left to launch an attack on me?” Although Douma said it was dangerous, the ease on his face showed that he hadn’t used his full strength at all.
At the same time, Kanae, who was circulating her Breathing Style, only felt a piercing pain coming from her lungs.
Her originally steady breathing became disordered, and every breath felt like a burning pain in her lungs.
“Damn it, is it poison?
When was it administered?” Kanae was now extremely confused; she was certain she hadn’t been poisoned by anyone, so why was this situation happening now?
“Seeing that confused look on your face, I’d better tell you the truth.
My blood is highly toxic.
My Blood Demon Art is to freeze my own blood and then scatter it.
Otherwise, where do you think ice would come from in a place like this?”
“You swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps rely on Breathing Styles to be able to compare with our demonic physical fitness.
But as long as you inhale my blood, it will cause your alveoli to necrotize, thereby making you lose your greatest reliance.
It can be said that I am the nemesis of your Demon Slayer Corps.”
Douma laughed with a face full of pride, then opened his arms and said loudly: “Now you have no other way, right?
Come, become one with me and obtain eternal life!”
Looking at Douma’s performance before her, Kanae instead said: “How pitiable.
You clearly have no emotions, yet you insist on pretending to have them.
Joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, fear—you can’t feel any of them.
Don’t you find yourself very tragic?”
“What did you say?
I’m pitiable?
How could I possibly feel that I am tragic?” Douma argued loudly, as if his secret had been exposed.
“Isn’t that right?
You didn’t even deny it yourself!”
“I’m pitiful?
No, you must be trying to stall for time, right?
Ha, I’ve seen right through you!
I won’t give you that chance!” After saying this, Douma created two ice lotuses in the shape of young girls, which exhaled a massive amount of cold air, freezing everything in their path.
“Blood Demon Art: Wintry Icicles of the White Princesses.”
“There’s no other way.
Flower Breathing, Final Form: Equinox Vermilion Eye.” In an instant, the whites of Kanae’s eyes turned red, and her dynamic vision was pushed to its absolute limit.
However, this technique applies intense pressure to the optic nerves to briefly enhance dynamic vision.
The eyeballs bleed and the sclera turns red due to the overload, which is why the whites of the eyes turn red when using Equinox Vermilion Eye.
It might not seem tempting right now but who knows what the future holds?
“And If you’re enjoying it, drop a Power Stone for me!”
