Volume 5: Demon Slayer Chapter 025 Siege
After giving the order, Muzan Kibutsuji asked Naruto to throw this group of Upper-rank demons out of the Infinite Castle.
At night, the four upper-rank demons gathered together for a rare occasion.
The wound on Kokushibo's chest has recovered. As the first of the upper ranks, he can be said to be the natural leader of this group of people. "What are you going to do with the guy that Lord Muzan asked us to kill?"
Upper Rank Five Gyokutsu said with a grin, "It's very simple. Just capture a few swordsmen from the Demon Slayer Corps and use their lives as bait to force that guy out. Human emotions are so stupid."
Kokushibo nodded, "Okay!"
Douma, the Upper Rank Two, opened his fan and said calmly, "Then, leave the task of capturing the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps to me."
Kokushibo did not refuse.
Douma of Upper Rank Two is the leader of the Eternal Paradise. In order to avoid being discovered, he tried to maintain the number of Eternal Paradise followers at around 250.
But this time, he used his sect to send out a message that there was a ghost somewhere, attracting the nearby Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen .
When the swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps hurried over, his face became distorted when he faced the four upper-rank demons.
Then, he never left this place.
The Chain Crow quickly passed the news of the Demon Slayer Corps' disappearance back to the Demon Slayer Corps' headquarters.
The Demon Slayer Corps headquarters immediately concluded that the demons in this place were probably very powerful, so they dispatched several Class A members to investigate the place and rescue the missing members.
Except for the leader and the pillars, the other are divided into ten classes: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, Sin, Ren, and Gui.
The A-level players are already the masters closest to the pillars.
But when they arrived at this place, they disappeared without a trace.
This incident soon alarmed the head of the Demon Slayer Corps, Yoya Uehara, who immediately determined that the ghost haunting this place was most likely one of the Twelve Kizuki.
So after some careful consideration, he sent the Sound Pillar Uzui Tengen and the Flame Pillar Rengoku Kyojuro to investigate the matter together.
However, when the Sound Pillar and the Flame Pillar arrived at this place, they disappeared at the same time.
Ubuyashiki Yoya finally understood that this was the revenge of Muzan Kibutsuji. The one lingering in that place was most likely an upper-rank demon. After hundreds of years of fighting demons, the Demon Slayer Corps was very clear about the strength of the upper-rank demons.
An upper-rank demon needs cooperation among three pillars to defeat the opponent.
So when the Sound Pillar and the Flame Pillar disappeared, Ubuyashiki Yoya could only tell Emiya about this, hoping that Emiya could rescue the Flame Pillar, the Sound Pillar, and the missing members.
Although they were most likely in danger now, he still held out a one in ten thousand hope before he saw the bodies.
When Emiya heard that an upper-rank demon was appearing, he immediately became interested. After asking for the location, he hurried over alone.
That night, Emiya arrived at the place where the Sound Pillar and the Flame Pillar were born.
In a small village not far from Tokyo.
After Emiya came into existence, he deployed his Observation Haki, covering the small village and determining the location of the ghost.
However, the auras of the four were no less powerful than Akaza's, which immediately frightened Emiya.
Who is Akaza? He is the third upper rank demon, a genuine upper rank demon.
And the demon who is not inferior to Akaza should also be an upper-rank demon.
There are a total of six upper-rank demons. Apart from the already dead Upper-rank Three and Upper-rank Six, there are still four. But now, there are four of them in this small village.
Even if Emiya was stupid, he realized that this was a complete trap.
The four upper-rank demons acted together. If someone said it was not the order of Muzan Kibutsuji, Emiya would not believe it even if you kill him.
Obviously, after killing Upper Rank Three and Upper Rank Six, Muzan Kibutsuji became afraid, so he ordered all the Upper Rank demons to attack together and set a trap to lure him over, intending to kill him completely so that he could rest assured.
When Shirou thought of this, he immediately laughed.
This is truly a case of searching for something unsuccessfully but finally finding it without any effort.
After absorbing the vitality of Akaza, Daki, and Gitarou, he was still thinking about how to lure out the other upper-rank demons, but he didn't expect that the other party would come to him on their own initiative.
After this matter is over, Emiya swore that he would definitely give Muzan Kibutsuji a collaborator medal and brag about Muzan Kibutsuji's contribution.
After locking onto the direction of the four upper-rank demons, Emiya rushed into a warehouse like a stream of light.
With a loud bang.
The door of the warehouse was smashed into pieces by Emiya.
Emiya walked in with a swagger and saw that the two unlucky guys, the Flame Pillar and the Sound Pillar, had been captured and hung on the beams, covered in blood and looking in a miserable state.
It can be seen that before the two men were caught, they must have been pinned to the ground and rubbed against by the four upper-rank demons.
Although he was seriously injured, he was able to breathe and did not die immediately.
"I'm very sorry, Lord Emiya." Flame Pillar Rengoku Kyojuro coughed a few times after seeing Emiya rush in, "I let you see our miserable side."
Sound Pillar Uzui Tengen said with a wry smile: "This is really not gorgeous at all."
At this moment, his expression suddenly changed and he yelled, "Be careful!"
A ghost with six eyes on his face appeared silently behind Emiya, waving the knife in his hand expressionlessly and slashing at Emiya's neck.
bite!
Emiya's neck was instantly covered by pitch-black domineering aura. Kokushibo slashed at Emiya's neck with a sword, splashing a series of dazzling sparks, but did not hurt Emiya at all.
Kokushibo's pupils shrank sharply. He felt a great sense of crisis and jumped back without thinking.
However, the next second, he saw a dazzling fire blooming in front of him.
Breathing of the Sun, Type 3: Blazing Red Mirror!
The flame was incredibly fast, and the sharp blade carried a strong murderous intent, as if it would cut off his neck in an instant.
Kokushibo subconsciously waved the knife in his hand.
Breath of the Moon, One Form·Dark Moon·Palace of Night!
The sword-drawing slash, which was so fast that it was unclear, instantly collided with Emiya's scorching red edge. The moment the blades of both sides collided, Kokushibo felt a huge force transmitted to him.
The power was so great that it far exceeded that of this ghost.
For a moment, Kokushibo's hand was bounced high, and he actually felt a slight numbness. If the enemy took the opportunity to attack at this time, he would probably be seriously injured.
But in fact, Kokushibo didn't care at all because he was not a ghost.
Blood Demon Art: Lotus Flower
An astonishing coldness suddenly broke out, and vines made of ice fell from the sky, trying to entangle Emiya and capture him.
At this moment, Douma, the Upper Rank Two, took action.
But this is not the end. After Douma took action, the other two upper-rank demons also took action one after another.
Blood Demon Jutsu: Thousand Needles, Fish Killing
The Jade Pot of the Upper Five summoned a goldfish that could shoot out sharp needles from a pot with water grass patterns. The needles shot out by the goldfish blocked every direction that Emiya could escape.
At the same time, Upper Moon Four Hantengu instantly split his body.
Vampire magic, embodiment, split.
This is the core of Hantengu's blood demon art. When Hantengu is in danger, his strong emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness can be materialized through this blood demon art and protect his body.
The four clones each control four completely different types of vampire magic, and the vampire magic will not affect their own cells, so there is no need to worry about accidentally hurting their own people.
After completing the split, Hantengu will use the extremely small Qie as the main body and control the four immortal clones to fight, while Qie only needs to escape and hide to easily defeat the opponent in a war of attrition.
After splitting, Hantengu's four clones each used a blood demon technique to attack Emiya.
For a moment, Shirou was in a situation where he was attacked by several evil spirits.
However, facing this situation, Emiya was not surprised at all, because he had already confirmed before coming that there were four upper-rank demons hiding in this warehouse.
It is only natural for the four upper-rank demons to attack at the same time now.
However, it is impossible for these four Upper Moons to defeat Emiya.
Telekinesis: Shinra Tensei!
As soon as Emiya thought about it, his powerful mental power turned into an invisible repulsive force, spreading outward with Emiya as the center, and quickly defeated the vines, needles and other blood demon arts with ease.
It can be said that they crushed the enemies along the way.
The four upper-rank demons were like powerless babies when faced with the impact force of a hundred tons, and were instantly blasted away by Emiya's telekinesis.
Bang, bang, bang…
The four upper-rank demons flew directly out of the warehouse and fell outside.
Then, before the four people could react, the Greedy Dragon flew out from the warehouse and swallowed up Yu Hu, the Upper Five, who had just landed and had no reaction.
The vast life force immediately poured into Emiya's body.
The Greedy Dragon turned around and pounced on Hantengou's clones, and shocked the Angry Ghost and the Coke Ghost into his stomach in one bite.
Hantiangou suddenly shouted, "My, my clone and the connection I lost."
Kokushibo's heart trembled, and he gripped the hilt of the knife tightly, looking at the Greedy Dragon flying in the sky in a show of strength. He kicked the ground suddenly, and flew towards the Greedy Dragon like an arrow.
Breath of the Moon, Form Eight: Moon Dragon Tail!
After the demon blade made of Kokushibo's own flesh and blood grew larger, it launched a huge horizontal slash, sweeping everything in front of it. The blade passed by, accompanied by countless giant crescent blades, cutting the body of the Greedy Dragon.
Unfortunately, it’s useless!
The crescent-shaped blade struck the Greedy Dragon's body, but only caused a series of sparks to fly.
If he wanted to defeat the Greedy Dragon's defense, he should at least have the power of Hawkeye, who could easily release a flying slash of hundreds of meters.
If you can't even do this, forget about cutting open the Greedy Dragon's body.
