Chapter 30: Chapter 30: Battle
"Has its spirituality been distorted and out of control? Emotions are chaotic and disorderly; madness has taken over. It can indeed be called a 'demon'."
However, this Demon obviously could not detect Maple's peeping. In the chilling soliloquy, its headless body clapped and announced excitedly.
"Then, next will be time for a meal!"
As the demon's head announced, the body bent its waist, both hands picked up its head, preparing to return it to its broken neck.
But it was at this moment, Maple finally took action…
He definitely would not allow this Demon to completely recover.
Without following any rules, completely following the guidance of spirituality, Maple, under the assistance of [Killing Talent], released a long-prepared attack using pure strength and speed.
There was no advanced technique in the attack, it was the simplest way of rising up, sprinting, getting close and then swinging the sword.
However, the crushing physical attributes of mid-sequence, along with the inherent combat intuition brought about a terrifying attack with perfect timing.
As for the demon, it only heard a large sound of movement, before it could even react, its head and pair of hands had been chopped off again.
"Who are you! How dare you disturbed Master Jiugou's meal!"
Looking at the black figure that suddenly appeared, it did not panic as it did not feel the pain from being damaged by the nichirin blade, and thus felt that it would not be possible to kill it.
On the contrary, the perspective of looking up from below due to being chopped as well as being interrupted while having a meal, made Jiugou feel the ultimate humiliation…
It-It actually needed to look up to a human? And let this ant disturb it from enjoying its delicacy?!
When it thought of this, green veins appeared on Jiugou's forehead, even the brand in its red eyes also unintentionally appeared.
Through the dim moonlight, Maple could clearly see the three words imprinted in its eyes…
"Lower, rank, four."
Jiugou saw the look in the young man's eyes, and seemed to know what he saw, and suddenly burst out a maniacal laugh.
"Hahahahaha! Did you see it? Arara, how distressing. After all, I don't want to reveal my whereabouts."
Jiugou's red eyes stared intently at the young man who had "decapitated" it. It subconsciously stretched out its long tongue and licked the still-wet blood at the corner of its mouth.
"A fifteen or sixteen-year-old body, how delicious, I originally wanted to eat you alive, but now, I felt like "cooking" you more."
Thinking that it would have additional "after-meal dessert", Jiugou's twisted mind suddenly became even crazier. Maple's silence was judged by him to be due to fear and despair.
"Are you scared? I originally thought you were a demon-slayer from the demon-slayer corps! I never thought that you did not even have a nichirin blade yet still dared to swing at me. How unfortunate, how unfortunate. Just 'a little bit more' and I would have been 'killed' by you."
At this time, its mind was no longer functioning properly, it did not consider how a young man who was not even a member of the demon-slayer corps could easily decapitate him. Its mind was occupied with making this "dessert" more "appetizing".
"Demon-slayer corps? Nichirin blade?"
Maple chewed on these two terms and tilted his head slightly, as though "confused", wanting Jiugou to explain more.
However, Jiugou did not notice, those pairs of green eyes, from the very beginning, were calm as water.
"Hehahahaha! Those are just a bunch of disgusting bugs! Unfortunately, only their "pillars" have the slightest chance of killing me, the rest are just a bunch of scum! Maybe you can try to scream loudly, asking them for help right now. Hahaha! That way I will be even more thankful to you!"
Jiugou laughed ferociously, not knowing if the information revealed from its mouth had allowed Maple to complete his guess.
"Is it [Demon Slayer] …"
Maple murmured in his heart, finally confirming this was a demon-slaying world.
Suddenly, Maple felt his spirit release a violent warning just as a sharp sound broke through the air from his side. Leaving a deep scratch where he originally stood.
"Was it a blood demon technique similar to 'wind blade'?"
Maple quickly referenced the information that could be obtained from the original works, while dodging the whizzing wind blades using his D+ agility.
"This world's demon evolved from the blood of 'Demon King' Muzan Kibutsuji and the twelve strongest demons are called the "Twelve Demon Moons". There is a huge gap in strength between the top six and the bottom six, while the human's strongest battle power, "pillar", before any enhancement, was roughly ranked only around the lower level."
"Corresponding to the breathing techniques mastered by humans, demons with a certain level of strength also mastered bloodline limit similar to 'blood demon art'."
Thinking of this, Maple secretly glanced at the crazy Jiugou, while considering his situation.
"It is impossible to become a demon, this kind of twisted and out-of-control situation is like drinking poison to quench thirst. So, if I want to unleash the power of my soul, the only way left is the breathing technique."
Suddenly, Maple raised his eyebrows and waved his dagger horizontally to block Jiugou's heavy punch.
"Hahaha! Fear me, how are you going to resist me in the face of despair~"
On Jiugou's pale skin, the twisted lines squirmed slowly, making this lower ranked demon's expression even more ferocious.
Looking at the dagger that seemed to be overwhelmed by its heavy punch, Jiugou knew that it only needed to release a few more wind blades and the young man would definitely die.
Thinking of this delicious blood food who would soon be swallowed by him, Jiugou's rate of releasing the wind blade became crazier.
"This kind of strength… is at most sequence 8…"
Easily diverting Jiugou's punch, Maple took a few leaps and once again put a certain distance away from the demon.
"If this kind of strength is on lower rank four, then I probably know what my level is."
Maple was fully concentrated on catching the flow of the wind blades, and dodged calmly, although his actions, from Jiugou's perspective, were quite "embarrassing" and could even be said to be "precarious".
That's right, without professional fighting training, Maple's dodging movement right now only had the benefit of being "practical".
Rolling, tuning sideways, falling down, the current Maple looked like a "prey" trapped in a spider's web. Anyone who saw him would think that he was doomed.
