...
...
Tenma clutched his head and eased his breath. Beads of cold sweat fell from his chin, wetting his shirt.
"Hestia, this world..."
"It's an alternative universe, isn't it?"
[After viewing your experience, Yes]
[I didn't expect Muzan to be that strong]
[However, this is still within your range of capability]
Tenma sighed, "A demon who can tank Fire Release: Great Fireball. Even though the Demon Slayer World is supposed to have superhuman people and many terrifying Demons, they are actually weaker than most Low-Level Worlds."
"With this change, I noticed that Muzan is more resilient to Fire and Solar Force, making him a formidable foe..."
"I have to change my strategy to kill him."
"Not to mention, Muzan isn't the only Demon King in this world because Demons are still thriving after I killed him. Damn it, I wasted Kama just for this damn fly."
Tenma was annoyed. His young emotions were 'directly' riled by Muzan after he killed Kanae and Shinobu.
Thankfully, it was a simulation. Or Tenma would destroy this world due to Kama's overload.
"The world's danger level increased from level 1 to level 30."
"No wonder I always feel odd about this Japan."
"How annoying..."
Tenma ruffled his hair and glanced to the left, seeing Tamako sleeping by his side. Her sleeping face eased Tenma's riled emotion and made him remember the purpose of his training.
Isn't it just a couple more Demon Kings?
Just wait. I will kill those demons with my spear.
Tenma ripped the cast off his arms and found them completely mended after absorbing the simulation's rewards. His bones fixed themselves, getting stronger and more durable than ever.
It's not just Tenma's arm. The rest of Tenma's body also experienced a metamorphosis.
"I need to adapt to my new strength." After saying that, Tenma meditated and focused on the Star Force Manual.
...
...
A week later.
Tenma finally adapted to his new strength.
He also entered the mountain behind Kawami Village with the Two Tomoe Sharingan and his new spear, Rushing Claw, slaughtering many wild animals.
Those animals gained him a lot of Bad Karma and some Good Karma.
Surprisingly enough, killing the monkey demon gave Tenma 1,000 Good Karma. Since Tenma knew it was only a low-level demon, he couldn't wait to slaughter mid-level demons soon.
Tenma is now fighting the bear he was supposed to fight many months later. It was strange to fight this fellow because of his Rushing Claw's blade from its bone.
Roar!
The Japanese Black Bear is over two meters tall, overwhelming Tenma with its bulky build and thick hide. It also has terrifying physical prowess and strong claws that could knock off some small red pines in the area.
The bear charged at Tenma, ready to tackle him down.
Tenma twirled his spear before thrusting forward, "Spear Breathing - First Form, Musou Ichiretsu!"
Musou Ichiretsu is a brief yet explosive stab. Since Tenma's new spear is also short, he could do it many times within a second.
BAM!
Tenma successfully created wounds all over the bear's head.
"Spear Breathing - Second Form, Sanrensei!"
Seeing that he couldn't make any big wound, Tenma decided to cripple the bear by stabbing its legs and rear quickly and causing blurs.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
Roar!
The bear was stunned. It feels numb on its legs and back.
"Spear Breathing - Third Form, Houkiboshi!"
Tenma swung his spear and created another blur, thrusting downward like a falling star.
BOOM!
Rushing Claw managed to pierce through the bear's right shoulder and made it explode due to extreme momentum. Blood splattered on the ground.
All this pain angered the bear. It entered an enraged state and attacked everything around it in a frenzy.
Brak!
The sound of a tree falling one after another.
Tenma watched this from afar, preparing his last attack.
"Spear Breathing - 4th Form..."
"Shinkirou!"
Swoosh!
This time, Tenma turned into a silver blur. He vanished in the mirage of a red pine forest and instantly appeared behind the enraged bear with extreme momentum.
"Die!"
Shing!
Tenma beheaded the bear with a swift slash and landed a few meters away. Steam came from his body as his sweat evaporated from the swift movement.
"Whew, that feels good." Tenma sighed and glanced at the headless bear behind him.
[Ding! You have gained +400 Good Karma]
"Oh, are you telling me this bear is weaker than the low-level monkey demon?"
"The bear is definitely stronger, though."
[Karma has nothing to do with strength, Tenma]
[Karma was born from one's action. The low-level monkey demon has more innocent living beings compared to the bear]
"Is that so?" Tenma knew how Karma works, but knowing it from the system's perspective is new.
After all, Karma's numerical value is part of the Karmic Exchange.
Then, he realized something.
"Damn it, I was too absorbed in a fight and forgot not to damage the bear's hide too much..." Staring at the mangled flesh of the black bear, Tenma couldn't help but facepalm.
He planned to make a coat for Tamako and himself. Winter will come in a few months, so the bear coats will keep them warm on cold days.
[You can always hunt more, Tenma]
"Oh, thank you, Sherlock," Tenma replied with sarcasm. Unfortunately, the black bear he fought is the ruler of this area. There is no wild animal with a similar power level anymore.
There are some boars, but their hide isn't as thick as black bears.
"Whatever, I will hunt the wild boars on the way home. They are going to be our dinner today." Tenma stored the bear and its head in the inventory, walking casually down the mountain.
Thirty minutes later, Tenma returned home with four large wild boars in the inventory and two medium-sized boars on his spear. He skinned the latter and cleaned their guts.
"Kaa-chan, are you home?" Tenma called his mother out, but only silence greeted him.
"Huh, that's weird... She's usually back from the field at this hour."
Tenma activated his Sharingan and used a low-level Genjutsu on a nearby crow, telling it to look for his mother.
A few seconds later, the crow returned and relayed the information to Tenma.
"Well, this is a surprise."
Tamako is currently walking back home. However, she's not alone. She brought the Demon-Slaying Young Lady along.
That's right, Kocho Kanae appeared one week earlier than she was supposed to.
Still, this is within Tenma's expectations.
"There would be guests. I might as well cook some food."
"Let's do Hotpot!"
...
...
"Sea salt is crazy expensive, but I can subtitle it with rock salt."
"Spices... Well, these will do."
"Make the broth with herbs and ginger."
"Slice the boar meat into thin slices, adding a fresh squish of wild mandarin to cut the wild beast's meat gaminess."
"This is the best I can do for now." Tenma stared at the boiling pot before him and nodded in satisfaction. Using God's Tongue, he can make the most delicious hotpot in the prefecture.
Even those crazy expensive restaurants in the big city can't win against this hotpot.
Tenma prepared three bowls and chopsticks, bringing the hotpot to the living room.
"Ma-kun, Kaa-chan is back~!" Tamako's voice echoed in the front door.
"Welcome back, Kaa-chan." Tenma opened the door with a smile on his face.
Tenma saw his mother and a black-clothed young lady with beautiful Haori behind her.
"Kaa-chan, who is this beautiful nee-chan?"
What a good actor I am. I should go for an Oscar.
"Fufu, she's the one I told you about a week ago," Tamako giggled.
The young lady in question also giggled.
She walked forward and crouched down to pat Tenma's head, "Beautiful nee-chan, huh? Tenma-kun, my name is Kocho Kanae, nice to meet you."
"You can call me Kanae nee-chan." Her pale purple eyes are shining when saying this.
Tenma swore to gods it wasn't Genjutsu.
"Mm, nice to meet you, Kanae nee-chan."
"Hehe, what an adorable boy."
