Chapter 41 First encounter with Tanjirou brothers and sisters
You Dou didn't know if there were many ghosts with four limbs in this world, but without the so-called special weapons, it was obviously not easy to kill a hundred of such creatures.
After leaving the village, Yuto also embarked on a ghost hunting journey alone.
Because he has an excellent sense of smell, and those things will only go out at night and attack the humans in those villages, so it is unexpectedly easy to find each other.
Before, Yuto could easily defeat the four-limbed ghost with his bare hands. Now that he has a weapon, it is even easier to deal with the existence of the same level or even weaker than the four-limbed ghost.
It's just that although You Dou can easily crush the opponent every time, the vitality of this creature is really tenacious.
After many attempts, Yuto decided that chopping the opponent into several pieces and then waiting for the sun to rise to expose them to the sun would be the most labor-saving method.
And after many fights with these evil spirits, Yuto also understood one thing.
His worries before were unnecessary. These evil spirits would only act alone and would not appear in groups. This is also their characteristic.
During this period of time, Yuto started his ghost hunting journey while slowly learning more about this world.
It's a pity that even though he has an extraordinary sense of smell, the efficiency of killing is still too slow. If he keeps hunting at the speed, killing a hundred ordinary ghosts in two years is not a problem.
But Yuto also learned about the so-called "twelve ghost moons" from other ordinary ghosts. The opponents seem to be the twelve most powerful ghost kings in the world.
Since he is the direct subordinate of the Ghost King, his strength is naturally not comparable to these cannon fodders. Yuto even thinks that if he encounters an existence of this level before he gets a special weapon, he will probably overturn.
As for the so-called "Ghost King", Yuto didn't get any useful information.
Because whenever he asked about the ghost king, the guys who begged for mercy before would be infected with strong fear in an instant, and then even if they died, they would not utter a single word.
In order to obtain more useful information, Yuto began to drift in various places, on the one hand to complete his mission, and on the other hand to find the so-called "ghost killing team".
Until this day, in the forest, he asked again about the smell of ghosts and the faint smell of blood...
And You Dou, as usual, began to rush towards the smell of blood.
At first Yuto thought that someone was being attacked again, but when he came to the place where the smell of blood came out, the scene in front of him made Yuto show a very interested expression.
In the snow, a boy and a girl were confronting another man with a long blue knife.
Yuto could clearly feel that the girl had been infected and transformed into a so-called "evil ghost".
Originally, this kind of existence should be completely irrational under the condition of hunger, but Yuto saw that when facing the man with the long knife, the girl who was a ghost was actually protecting the boy.
"Interesting, is the strong bond causing her to transcend the shackles of the curse?
But although this girl's physique has skyrocketed after becoming a ghost, the opponent doesn't seem to be weak.
The boy's words... well, it's basically a waste of vegetables, and it can't help the girl at all.
How to do it? Do you want to help them? "
After all, he felt that what the man with the long knife said was not wrong.
“The weak have no rights and no choice but to submit to the strong.
If you want others to respect you, you must be strong enough. This is the so-called reality! "
No matter in which world, the law of the jungle is the iron law for the survival of all creatures.
If you want to protect your precious things, you must gain enough power to protect everything.
Tomioka Yoshiyuki's words made Tanjiro, who was kneeling on the ground, clearly understand that this world is so cruel.
If he always has enough power, his family members will not die, and his sister Mi Douzi will not become what she is now.
And Yoshiyuki Tomioka said so much, in fact, he just wanted Tanjiro to understand that with his current weak strength, it is impossible for him to keep his sister who has become a demon by his side.
Even if his sister still has a trace of sanity left, no one knows when this trace of sanity will disappear.
And when Mizuko loses even the last sliver of sanity, the powerless and weak Tanjiro will basically end up being eaten.
So Tomioka Yoshiyuki said so much, in fact, he just wanted Tanjiro to recognize the reality. From the very beginning, he didn't intend to let Yadouko who became a demon go because of Tanjiro's begging for mercy.
In the end, Yoshiyuki Tomioka ignored Tanjiro's roar, raised the Japanese sword in his hand, and was about to stab Midouzi in his hand.
"Ding---!"
But at this time, a figure suddenly jumped down from the tree, and appeared in front of Tomioka Yoshiyuki at extreme speed, and used the long knife in his hand to hold the Japanese wheel sword in Tomioka Yoshiyuki's hand.
"I'm sorry, I admire them a lot, so I can't let you kill his sister.
Although I quite agree with what you said before, how do you know that this boy can't gain the power to be respected because his sister becomes stronger? "
The moment Yoshiyuki Tomioka swung the Hinari sword, Yuto, who had been watching the show, couldn't help but make a move.
And Tomioka Yoshiyuki looked at the worn-out long sword holding his Japanese sword, and Yuto in front of him, with a look of astonishment.
There were other people nearby, but he didn't notice it. Although Tanjiro's incident made him lose control of his emotions, Tomioka Yoshiyuki was still ashamed of his previous negligence.
If the opponent's goal is not to save people, but to kill himself, the best result for him just now is that he will be seriously injured.
Looking at Yuto, who was about the same age as him, Yoshiyuki Tomioka frowned slightly, because he found that the other party was not purely human.
The breath on the opponent's body is a bit like the smell of a ghost, but it doesn't have the stench and blood of the opponent.
With one sword holding Tomioka Yoshiyuki's Japanese sword, Yuto, at the moment when the opponent was in a daze, sent down a powerful blow to force Tomioka Yoshiyuki back, and snatched the Midouzi in his hand, and threw it to the opponent. Tanjiro who didn't slow down.
"You should be a member of the so-called Demon Slayer Squad, right? So the sword in your hand is the Japanese sword that is rumored to be able to kill evil spirits easily?
It looks really good, so let's discuss it. I saved this pair of brothers and sisters today, and I am actually quite interested in the knife in your hand. "
