Volume 5: Demon Slayer Chapter 007: Take away with one move
The reason why everyone has such a misunderstanding is mainly because the human beings in this world are a little miserable.
Apart from not being able to bask in the sun and having to eat human flesh, ghosts possess blood magic, which allows them to remain immortal, healthy, and have many other benefits.
But humans don’t have any special abilities except for a breathing method, so it has been extremely difficult for them to fight against ghosts for thousands of years.
Of course, this hardship does not include a wall hanging.
Yuichi Tsugikoku!
This guy is a complete hanger-on in this world, he is unreasonable.
Not only is he born with the ability to use breathing techniques and the transparent world, he is also the first swordsman to awaken the markings.
While other swordsmen who awakened their markings did not live past the age of twenty-five, he lived to be over eighty years old before dying.
Even before Yoriichi Tsugakuni, no human demon-slaying swordsman knew how to use breathing techniques.
It was only after Tsuchikuni Yoriichi that humans learned the breathing method, mainly because the breathing method was created by Tsuchikuni Yoriichi.
It is precisely because humans do not possess any special abilities other than breathing techniques that everyone feels that this world has little mystery.
But in fact, if we take the ghost's perspective into account, we can see that this world has extraordinary power.
The demon's blood magic is enough to prove this.
No matter how you look at it, a world where space transfer and even space teleportation are possible cannot be said to be a world without supernatural powers.
The reason why everyone misunderstands that this world is not mysterious is not only because humans cannot master extraordinary powers, but there is actually a second point.
The fighting ability is not good enough.
Although the ghosts in this world possess blood magic, their fighting power is very poor.
How to say it?
Take Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan for example, the monsters have all kinds of gorgeous and powerful moves, and the humans also have Onmyoji. The monsters can use fear, and humans can master spiritual power.
The level of this technique is much higher than that of the breathing technique.
More importantly, when these monsters or humans fight, their destructive power is extremely incredible.
Often, if you are not careful, it will cause serious damage.
Especially after Abe Haruaki was reincarnated as the Feathered Fox, he returned from hell, holding the devil's hammer and slashing it with one blow, almost destroying the entire Kyoto. The power was amazing.
Although the vampire magic in this world is magical, it cannot cause such powerful destructive power.
Not to mention destroying a city, even destroying a building would be a bit difficult.
So everyone would guess that this world is less mysterious.
But judging from the fact that this world has ghosts and that ghosts possess a wide variety of blood magic, the mystery of this world is definitely not as low as everyone imagines.
Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about the ghosts in this world.
Since there are ghosts in this world, maybe there is hell.
If there were no hell, the world would already be filled with ghosts.
As for why many people in this world are unwilling to leave this world after they die and become ghosts, it is probably because they are reluctant to leave. For example, Xuantu, Zhengu and others are typical representatives.
After they died, they kept lingering near the water column and refused to leave.
As for why the Land of the Underworld did not send messengers to capture these ghosts that remained in the human world, Emiya had no idea. After all, this was his first time in this world.
Of course, although the mystery of this world is not low, it is not that high either. It cannot be compared with the worlds of Inuyasha, Young Onmyoji, Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan, etc.
There is no one who can threaten him, including Muzan Kibutsuji.
The above are the thoughts that came to Shirou’s mind after seeing the hand ghost.
It seems long, but in fact it is only two or three seconds.
The hand ghost was gnawing on the body of the man in red. When he saw Emiya suddenly appear in front of him, he couldn't help but blinked, "You don't even have a knife, are you here to die?"
Emiya ignored the hand ghost and looked up at the sky.
The dense forest completely covered the sky, creating a thick shadow and no sunlight could be seen.
No wonder even though it is daytime now, the hand ghost can move freely here.
He looked at the corpse in the hand ghost's hand again and roughly understood something.
Not long ago, the man in red, the ghost man who was killed by the man in red, and a woman named Xiang Ling, all three of them should have come to participate in the final selection of ghost-killing swordsmen.
The man in red was a couple with Xiangling.
Then the three of them encountered the hand ghost and were defeated by him.
After the three realized that they were no match for the hand ghost, they started to run for their lives. Then the ghost man used some unknown trick to make the woman named Xiang Ling a scapegoat.
Then the ghost man escaped successfully.
However, this was discovered by the man in red, who was extremely angry and killed the other person.
Then, he came here looking for revenge on the hand ghost.
In the end, he failed to take revenge and instead became food for the hand ghost.
The above is what Emiya imagined based on the existing clues. Although it may not be correct, he estimates that it should be roughly like this.
When the hand ghost saw Emiya looking at the sky and then started to daydream, he suddenly realized, "Is that the case? Is he a fool who came here to die? Although he can't eat now, he can be used as food reserve..."
Before he could finish his words, the arms that were wrapped around his body instantly stretched out and grabbed Emiya's head.
However……
whoosh!
The Greedy Dragon emerged from above Emiya's head, and with a flick of its tail, it easily cut off the arm that the hand demon stretched out.
"What is that?"
The hand ghost looked at the Greedy Dragon above Emiya's head with a dull face. From the terrifying Greedy Dragon, he felt an unprecedented powerful force.
"How can humans possess..." Before he could finish his words, arms suddenly sprang up and grabbed the Greedy Dragon, "Die!"
Emiya raised his eyebrows. This guy is not bad. He knows how to use strategies.
Unfortunately, its strength is a little weak.
Emiya's Greedy Dragon easily avoided all of the hand ghost's attacks and flashed through the arms in the sky and appeared in front of him.
Then, he opened his bloody mouth and swallowed the hand ghost in one gulp.
The hand ghost didn't even have time to make a move before it disappeared into the greedy dragon's mouth.
At the same time, a powerful vitality came from the body of the Greedy Dragon.
Emiya couldn't help but nod secretly. After humans absorbed the blood of Muzan Kibutsuji and turned from humans into demons, they possessed a long lifespan.
As long as you are not killed, it is not a problem to live for hundreds of years, or even forever.
Furthermore, as long as they are not exposed to sunlight or their necks are not chopped by the Sun Blade, they will not die. They can survive even if their heads are chopped off.
From this we can see that the vitality of ghosts far exceeds that of ordinary people.
In addition, this hand ghost has devoured at least dozens of humans. It is much stronger than ordinary ghosts. Although it is not as strong as the Twelve Demon Moons, it can also be regarded as a small boss.
Having such a vigorous vitality is nothing.
After the Greedy Dragon devoured the Hand Demon, Emiya spent some time refining this powerful life force and transforming it into vigorous Qi.
When he opened his eyes, the day was over.
The sun sets and it is already evening.
The faint negative energy in the mountains became thicker, and faint screams and the sounds of swords clashing could be heard from afar.
It is night now , and the ghosts that had been hiding during the day have begun to move around.
Shirou stood up and stretched his arms and legs. He felt that it was time for him to take action.
These ghosts are like a great tonic for him.
Then Emiya used his Observation Haki, and every move within a radius of hundreds of meters was under his observation.
Ghosts appeared one after another in his perception.
whoosh!
Emiya identified a direction and, with the help of telekinesis, flew out like a flash of lightning. In just a dozen breaths, he appeared in front of a ghost.
If there weren't so many obstructions in the forest, he could actually be even faster.
This demon was fighting a desperate battle with a swordsman from the Demon Slayer Corps. After Emiya arrived, without any hesitation, the commander, the Greedy Dragon, pounced over.
Before the ghost could react, the Greedy Dragon swallowed it into his stomach in one gulp.
When the swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps saw this scene, he staggered back in fear and sat down on the ground with a thud.
Emiya glanced at the other person and ignored him. He used his Observation Haki to lock onto the next target and flew over at lightning speed. After seeing the ghost, he commanded the Greedy Dragon to rush forward and devour it.
This is the final trial site where the Demon Slayer Corps selects demon-slaying swordsmen.
Except for the hand ghost who has been hiding for decades, most of the ghosts are not powerful guys. Many of them have just been captured, but these ghosts have strong vitality, so Emiya is unwilling to let any of them go.
In just a few minutes, Emiya's Greedy Dragon ate seven or eight demons.
If this continues, all the demons in Fujikiyama will be killed by Emiya in one night. His behavior is undoubtedly disrupting the final selection of the Demon Slayer Corps.
But Emiya didn't care.
In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed, and there were fewer and fewer ghosts in Tengxi Mountain.
This was mainly because Shirou's speed was too fast. With the help of telekinesis, he could be said to be moving like the wind. Moreover, the Greedy Dragon was too strong. After seeing the ghost, it rushed directly up and swallowed it into its stomach in one gulp.
These ghosts couldn't even resist.
Shirou basically took the opponent away with one move without stopping.
In addition, when he displayed his Observation Haki, no ghost within a radius of several hundred meters could escape his perception.
In this way, the efficiency is amazingly high.
It wouldn't even take a whole night, just a few hours for Emiya to kill all the demons in Fujishigeyama.
After killing the twenty-seventh demon, Emiya quickly locked onto the twenty-eighth demon and flew towards the direction of the demons, but halfway through, he felt that the demon's breath disappeared.
No, to be precise, he was killed.
