Clouds floated in the night sky, making the starlight dim and making the town even darker during the night.
A young man holding a samurai sword and wearing a purple haori was running with sweat all over his head.
"Damn, damn, why am I so unlucky to be able to encounter demons even when chasing wild boars in the mountains?"
Although he was determined to join the Demon Slayer Corps and eliminate these evil demons, he has not joined yet. The key is that this demon is so powerful that it seems to be no match for him!
The young man seed to be out of breath as he ran, and looking back, he realized that the demon was not following him, which cald him down a bit. He leaned on his knees, gasping for breath.
"Wow, will I really be able to pass the final selection with my skills...?"
[Swoosh!]
But before he could continue his self-deprecation, a sharp cutting sound startled him. His expression changed drastically as he desperately lunged towards his left.
[Bang!]
A roar echoed behind him! As he stood up, quite disheveled, he could see to his horror that where he had been standing previously, there was now a large hole. Inside the hole was a figure two ters tall, with pale skin and horns on its head.
"Hehehe, you are really good at running. You are so slippery in the forest that it is really hard to catch you. But you took to a good place. Hiss..." The demon inhaled deeply, while smiling maliciously. "The sll of food is really abundant~~"
"It's over. Am I really going to die here? I just started my apprenticeship!"
The demon could no longer contain himself. Showing his sharp teeth covered in flesh and blood, he lunged at the boy. "Co here, little piece of at, and die obediently~"
The boy took a deep breath calmly and swallowed the cool air into his body. Soon, his originally weak body seed to swell a little, his arm muscles beca tighter, and his neck and forehead were also bulging with veins.
The boy narrowly avoided the demon's direct attack, and at the sa ti took out the long sword with purple patterns in his hand.
"First Form: Winding Serpent Slash!"
On the blade of the sword, a white air current visible to the naked eye appeared, seeking to cut the demon's back.
But the demon blocked the blade with his right arm while fiercely attacking the boy's throat with his left hand.
[Bang!]
Just as the boy was about to close his eyes and accept death, the demon's arm suddenly exploded.
And before he could react, soone seed to grab his shoulders from behind, and with a huge force, the whole person flew out.
[Bang!]
And with another dull sound, the demon also flew away.
The demon stood up, patted his chest that had been kicked, and looked at Hozumi's entire body with a sinister smile on his face. "Hehehe, here cos another one, a tender little girl. Co to think of it, I've never eaten one before, so I'll give it a try~~"
"Did your arms regenerate?" Hozumi, who was holding a steam gun, was surprised to see that the other party's arms had completely recovered.
This scene was also observed by Laskey from a nearby roof, noting that despite the commotion, none of the nearby residents ca out to look.
Even the village chief, who was awake, did not move.
Hozumi pointed the barrel of the gun at him and shouted. "What are you?"
"Huh?" The demon was stunned by the question, not knowing what to answer. At this mont, the young man who had already stood up behind Hozumi approached her in amazent and asked: "Didn't your teacher tell you about demons?"
The boy had misinterpreted Hozumi as a new recruit of the Demon Slayer Corps, since she also carried a katana.
But why did this pretty girl have a musket?
"I don't know, maybe he ntioned it, and I just don't rember." Hozumi raised her chin and said confidently.
"Then you can rember it well in my stomach!" The demon laughed wildly and rushed over again.
"Be careful!" The boy swung his sword at the demon and shouted: "Second Form: Venom Fangs of the Narrow Head!"
He perford a strange move and with astonishing movents, he stood behind the demon in an instant, his sword wrapped in a white snake-shaped airflow, 'biting' into the demon's neck.
"Interesting..." Laskey narrowed his eyes at this. "Can such a young boy wield sword energy? However, his skill level is nowhere near that of a master swordsman."
On the streets of the town, three figures could be seen fighting intensely under the moonlight.
They were quite fast compared to an ordinary person.
In reality, Hozumi was just hanging out, because he wanted to observe more about this boy and the monster that was obviously not a human.
So, although she felt that she could easily pierce the creature's head or heart, she refrained from doing so. She only intervened, using her steam gun, to help the boy when she was in danger.
But her behavior disconcerted the boy, who, upon seeing the pretty girl again using a rifle to pierce the demon's arm, exclaid worriedly. "What are you doing? Use the Nichirin Sword on your back! You can't kill a demon with a rifle!"
The boy did not expect such ignorance on her part. Although Hozumi's agile movent also left the boy amazed. 'What is the Breathing Style she is using?'
However, his screams also attracted Laskey's attention in the distance. The next mont, his voice rang from the wireless earpiece in Hozumi's ear.
"Hozumi, shoot through its heart first, and if it can recover, shoot through its head!"
Hozumi didn't reply after hearing the order, but her eyes beca sharp instantly. She perford a backflip to avoid the demon's attack and, at the sa ti, positioned herself behind him in the air, pointing the gun at his back and pulling the trigger.
[Bang!]
[Puff!]
The bullet penetrated the demon's heart, causing him to cough up a gush of blood, although he kept a sneer on his face. "It hurts so much~"
After saying that, the demon kicked the boy and turned his head 180 degrees backwards. His arms and legs also made a complete turn with a crunch.
"Huh, so disgusting!" Hozumi suddenly felt that this monster was more disgusting than Kabane.
First she quickly turned the rifle, grabbed the long barrel and used it like a staff, hitting the demon claw that was extending towards her. Then, she turned the rifle again, aiming at the demon's surprised face and pulling the trigger without hesitation, blowing off its ugly head.
To avoid the splashes of blood and brain mass, Hozumi sorsaulted away again, landing gracefully.
This scene left the boy amazed as he lay on the ground. "So powerful..."
But it was of no use. The boy shook his head in resignation and sighed.
Laskey and Hozumi saw that the demon had lost its entire head, but its body was still standing there. Then, in the blink of an eye his head regenerated intact.
The boy, whose chest was injured, stood up and shouted anxiously. "You can't kill a demon without cutting off its head with the Nichirin Sword. Hurry up and draw the Nichirin Sword on your back!"
The next mont, Laskey's voice rang in Hozumi's ear. "Hozumi, that kid should be talking about the samurai sword in his hand!"
"Huh? He's running away!" At the sa ti, the boy pointed at the demon who was already turning around to flee.
[Bang!]
Another gunshot rang out and the demon's left leg suddenly exploded, losing control and falling to the ground, causing it to panic.
Just as it was about to regenerate its leg to continue running, another shot exploded its other leg, so the demon could only grit its teeth and crawl forward while controlling the regeneration of its leg.
The next mont, the demon unconsciously raised his head to look and saw Hozumi in front of him, smiling adorably at him with the barrel of her gun.
[Bang!]
With a bang the demon's head exploded again.
"Hey, give your sword!" Hozumi held the gun pointed at the demon's head, and at the sa ti, she spoke to the boy in a sweet voice.
"Ah?" The boy looked curiously at the sword on Hozumi's back and asked: "Don't you already have a sword?"
"Stop talking nonsense and hand over the sword!" Hozumi adopted an arrogant posture to cover up the fact that he did not have a Nichirin sword.
"Okay..." The boy just thought that the girl didn't want to use her own sword, so he quickly handed her his Nichirin sword. This made the demon tremble on the ground as he desperately tried to regenerate.
"Cut off his head!" Laskey gave the order.
[Puff!]
Hozumi acted quickly. "Eh?" Then the demon's body quickly turned into ashes and disappeared without a trace.
