Chương 31: Chapter 31: Reaction
"My Sequence 7 physical attributes should be comparable to the demon's upper rank. However, as long as I am unable to utilize my spiritual advantage, then at most, I would only be able to ensure my safety and escape when I meet them. As for the demon king, Muzan, his battle power should be in Sequence 6. For now, it is not my turn to have any thoughts on him."
Thinking of this, Maple slightly stood still, seemingly having given up on "struggling".
"Then, the next objective would be to slay demons and become familiar with the power of Sequence 7. Then, get in touch with the demon-slayer corps to master the breathing method and those special skills. It would be great if the role of Sequence 7 could also be digested at the same time."
After completing the next plan in his mind, Jiugou's strange and sharp voice came to Maple's ears again.
"Little bug, have you lost hope?"
Jiugou's red eyes were fixed on the subtle expression on Maple's face. As though looking at some kind of treasure that he longed for. However, this time he made a mistake.
The young man's iceberg-like expression remained unshakeable from the very beginning. This indifferent expression reminded him of a figure that made him extremely frightened… one that almost pushed him into a desperate situation, the current Water Pillar.
Tomioka Giyu, that even he only managed to escape by taking hostages, did not have any fluctuations on his face, only the most compelling murderous intent.
While this young man seemed to have the same calmness yet there seemed to have some fundamental difference.
Jiugou was unable to tell, but one thing certain was that when he looked into the young man's green eyes, the inhuman chill in it even made his heart, an abnormal "demon's" heart, felt palpitations.
It was only at this moment, Jiugou suddenly realized something was wrong…
No matter how embarrassing, this young man seemed to be able to receive all of its attacks? Even relying only on a steel dagger?
Thinking of this, Jiugou's head, that had returned to its neck, was suddenly dripping with cold sweat and even his whole body involuntarily took a step back.
"You, who the hell are you!?"
At this moment, Jiugou still held onto the last bit of luck in his heart as this young man did not seem to have a Nichirin blade that can kill demons. Maybe he could escape unscathed?
But the next moment, as Maple's fingertips slightly brushed across the dagger, a sense of crisis that suddenly appeared on the dagger made the hair on Jiugou's body stand, completely shattering the illusion in Jiugou's heart.
"'Demon's' 'immortality' is indeed tricky, but what if this blade of mine can cut souls, 'lower rank four'? How are you going to resist?"
Maple whispered softly, his method was not complicated, merely adding his Sequence 7 spirit onto the dagger, giving it a temporary boost of attacking the soul.
This method was very crude, but under the environment where Beyonder ability was being suppressed, the simpler it was the less the suppression it received.
However, Jiugou was destined not to hear Maple's more detailed explanation, as the moment the voice was heard, Jiugou lost sight of Maple.
Physical attributes comparable to upper rank, Jiugou could not even react to the fact that he had been "beheaded". He lost his life while dazed, his body turned into bubbles and disappeared without a trace.
"Truly a twisted creature."
Maple removed the spiritual power on the dagger while looking thoughtfully at the place Jiugou disappeared.
"However, the potion for [murderer] also showed signs of digestion, it looks like the direction of slaying demons is indeed the right one."
As the battle ended, the cold machine-like feel on Maple's body slowly disappeared, replaced by the quiet and peaceful feel shown during the day.
But when Maple put on his persona again, the budding emotion freed from the suppression of absolute rationality once again exuded an invisible and firm power, it was even more resilient than before.
At the same time, the temporary despair felt by the previous villagers when they were about to die was also recalled by Maple from a perceptual perspective.
[uncomfortable]
This was Maple's only perception, a kind of rejection towards "despair".
Maple frowned, slowly stopped his preparation to leave and looked back at the "dead village".
"It killed you; I killed it, we owe nothing to each other."
After saying that, Maple was ready to take leave again, but before he could go far, he turned back again.
"Nevermind, I'll collect your body."
While cleaning up the tragic village, Maple coldly said "self-deprecatingly" to himself.
"What a senseless 'hypocrisy'."
…
Time also passed meaninglessly.
The next day, when the demon hunters from the demon-slayer corps hurried under the bright sun, all they saw were tombs neatly arranged at the entrance of the village.
"What's going on here?"
"No, we should be the first group to arrive. But someone is obviously one step ahead, right?"
"Kasugai crow, has the one in charge of this area, Lord Kocho, been here?"
"Caw! No, Lord Kocho at this period of time has been staying at the butterfly mansion and has no patrol mission!"
Hearing Kasugai crow's denial, the members of the team looked at each other, feeling lost. After they separately collected some clues, this confusion became more intense.
"Logically speaking, that demon would not let go of human remains."
"You mean…"
"Someone has killed that unidentified Demon."
"That! But people who are not members of the demon-slayer corps do not have Nichirin blades! Without it, how can you deal with demons?"
"That's right, also there are no signs of many people visiting the village. This means there is only one person, right? It is truly incredible!"
Hearing the team members' doubts, the captain shook his head, not commenting.
"Regardless of how strong a person is, they will inevitably use a certain trick. That's how they did it. Kasugai crow."
"Caw caw! I'm here!"
"Next, our team will investigate this village. You should quickly report the special events that happened here to Lord Kocho. This is urgent-level information!"
"Caw! Understood!"
The black crow on the team captain's shoulder flapped its wings, agreed and hurriedly flew towards the butterfly mansion.
…
Butterfly mansion, deep inside the demon slayer sanatorium
In this quiet and beautiful wooden house, there was a fresh and elegant fragrance of wisteria flowers in the air. Underneath the seemingly refreshing fragrance, it was actually a deadly poison that frightened Demons, just like the woman preparing the medicine on the table.
The woman was not tall, only around 1.5 meters, she could even be called petite and looked to be around seventeen or eighteen years old.
She had shoulder-length black hair, the ends of her bangs on her forehead had a slight tint of purple. There was a constant gentle smile on her beautiful face. Only her
extremely deep and charming purple eyes that seemed to have something hidden deeply.
However, as long as you see the butterfly hair accessory and the butterfly-patterned haori that she wore outside her corps uniform, you would recognize the woman's identity… the "Insect Pillar" Shinobu.
The sun was warm and the breeze gentle, no one was willing to break such a beautiful scenery, except, of course, a certain Kasugai crow.
"Caw! Caw! Lord Kocho, an urgent report!"
