Capítulo 44: Chapter 44: Dead...
"AAAHHHHH!!!!"
However, a frightened scream that echoed through the forest from the blond-haired young man, it even stunned the hand demon.
What happened? It seemed like I had not taken action yet? Why did this scream sounded like I had dismembered the fellow to pieces?
"It's over, it's over! I, I am going to die!"
Before the hand demon could react, a golden lightning appeared, followed by a thunder-like roar, the stunned hand demon discovered that…
That little kid used thunder breathing… to run away?!
"Kid, are you kidding me!"
Right now, the hand demon was full of anger and resentment. It had decided that no matter what, that little kid would never leave Fujikasane mountain alive.
Along with the step of the hand demon, the whole forest started to shake, with its huge size and unswerving speed, the hand demon, like a heavy tank, crushed everything that stood in its way.
"I'm finished! Run, quickly run! I'm dead if caught!"
Under the situation where his one attack was unable to succeed, Zenitsu was unable to suppressed the fear in his heart and still decided to escape when faced with the angry demon.
"Ugh! If I had known, I would have previously chosen to follow Mr. Feng! He would definitely be able to protect me."
These were words currently reflected in Zenitsu's heart, still a bit cowardly.
However, this was normal, after all, things that had become a habit were definitely difficult to change.
But Zenitsu did not understand, for him, to be able to unleash a single blade could already be considered a huge improvement. After all, Maple knew how cowardly Zenitsu was in the beginning.
As for the rest, time would solve them.
The golden lightning sped through the forest, Zenitsu could heard his body screamed from overexertion, but he did not dare to stop, if he stopped, then the only thing left would be death.
"!"
Suddenly, Zenitsu's soles tilted, the intense physical exertion seriously affected the accuracy of his movement as he, unable to avoid the hidden gravel, lost his balance and rolled on the ground like a falling gourd.
"Crash!"
An embarrassing figure stirred up the dried leaves on the ground. After spinning for a while, Zenitsu fell to the ground in a daze.
[I'm dead]
This was the only thought that appeared in his mind, he had already imagined himself being brutally killed by the hand demon.
However, Zenitsu, who was sitting dazedly under a big tree in a forest while shrouded in darkness, regained his senses after who knew how long…
It seemed that things did not happen as he expected?
Recalling the furious look of the demon before his escape, shouldn't it try to fight to the death with him?
Why haven't I heard anything after so long?
"No, regardless, I am saved!"
After listening again for a while to confirm that the demon did not follow him, Zenitsu completely collapsed on the ground. The complex emotions after surviving a disaster made him unable to control his tears which began to flow freely.
"Great, I survived, I have survived!"
Putting aside Zenitsu's lingering fears, on hand demon's side, things were not looking good.
As the rampaging hand demon chased the flashes of lightning in the distance, it calculated that in a few minutes, the kid would be spent, and that would be the time he would be killed by it.
However, at this moment, the hand demon's eyes blurred. At some point, a young man wearing a grey haori appeared in front of him, standing with a sword drawn, like a mantis obstructing a chariot.
"What kind of nosy kid are you?! Scram!"
Looking at this young man "lack judgement", the impatient hand demon was too lazy to pay attention to him…
He was just an ant, seeing his current charge, there can only be a path for the man to be crushed to death.
"Hmm…, I was underestimated."
Maple, who was hidden in the dark, his eyes flickered slightly and murmured, however strangely, it sounded as though this young man said those words directly beside the hand demon's ears.
"You!"
Hand demon's eyes shrunk slightly, seemingly noticed the abnormality of the situation, but before it could ask any question, an extremely dangerous aura suddenly emanated from Maple, the unsheathed silver nichirin was even worse… the blade seemed to emanate a sense of threat from a natural enemy.
"This feeling! A 'pillar', damn it! How can there be a 'pillar' in Fujikasane mountain!!"
This feeling of suffocation had already been previously experienced by the hand demon from the "water pillar" decades ago. The buried memory was unearthed, which caused the hand demon to feel frightened, ashamed and angry at the same time.
"I am a demon! Go to hell!!"
The thick demon hand shot out of the hand demon's fat body, like a giant python, ready to strangle this "abnormal" young man to death.
"For now, I cannot kill you, so let's use this trick."
Maple's voice was calm and cold as he exhaled his breath. Seemingly not seeing the attack launched by the hand demon.
"Soul breath 5th form – wither to dust."
Before he finished speaking, in just a moment, in just a moment, the extraordinary speed made it seemed as though Maple had just teleported to the front of the hand demon, and slashed horizontally.
The slash showed a shadowy gray color like a gloomy dark cloud, but just by seeing this gray slash, the hand demon felt dizzy and nauseated, as if it was a strange taboo that should not be seen.
Strangely, before the sword light even arrived, the side of the hand demon's waist muscle visibly shrank. The rapidly withering skin and shriveling muscles were like a plant dying due to lack of water.
But this attack was too fast, so fast that the hand demon did not even notice the abnormality of his body. He only felt a cold wave cut across his body, almost bifurcating his body from the waist.
"Is this person stupid?"
This was the first thought in hand demon's mind.
Because all demons and demon slayer knew, even with a nichirin blade, a demon still needed to be decapitated before it could be completely killed.
And this slash that almost cut open its entire abdominal and chest cavity, while terrifying, would soon heal completely due to its strong healing power.
"Maybe I can take advantage of his carelessness and give him a surprise attack!"
The hand demon's eyes flashed with a trace of cruelty, not even caring about the heavy injury on its body, it wanted to used the hands around its body and gave Maple a "death hug".
But at this moment, a huge feeling of weakness swept through hand demon's whole body, which made it finally notice the abnormality of the attack just now.
