Demon Slayer: Tanjuro Kamado returns from Sekiro

Chapter 18 - Northern Snow Mountain

For various reasons.

Kamado Tanjuro decides to part with his family first and walk with Tomioka Yoshiyuki.

There are two reasons for this.

one.

The current self must be watched by Wu Mi.

Now going to Sawu Mountain to reunite with Kuizhi and the others will undoubtedly lead the wolf into the house.

As long as I keep attracting Wu Mi's hatred, my family is safe.

The second - dragon cough.

In the wolf world, whenever he really died, but he didn't have any "power to bring the dead back to life".

Will be reborn in front of the statue named "Ghost Buddha".

And this kind of rebirth is a new life obtained by absorbing the vitality of the surrounding creatures.

Such a consequence would cause the person whose life force was absorbed to develop an incurable disease.

——Long Cough.

People suffering from dragon cough will slowly die in the pain of the disease due to the loss of vitality.

Long cough is difficult to cure, and it needs an object called "Longyin dew drop" to cure it.

In the world of Ghost Slayer, I don't know if there is such a thing.

but.

As long as you have the "power of resurrection" and use the "power of resurrection" when you die, you will not absorb the vitality of the surrounding creatures.

The way to obtain the "Power of Resurrection" is also very simple.

— Killing.

Gaining life force by killing, instead of absorbing the life force of others when dying, is very...reasonable.

I have died once before.

It's just that at that time, I had a resurrection power on my body.

Therefore, the vitality of Tanjiro and Goto was not absorbed to revive them.

Fortunately in misfortune.

And Tanjuro didn't know how to obtain this consumed resurrection power.

Before he was unconscious, he had no ability to revive.

……

foot of the mountain.

under a pine tree.

The snow piled up on the branches and leaves of the pine trees, falling rustlingly, and the pitch-black crow hovered in the sky, shouting towards the bottom from time to time:
"Ka!!"

Under the shadow of the tree, there were two people standing.

"What the hell...how did it come here..." Tanjuro's crimson eyes were lowered, and he put his hand on his chin. He was leaning against a boulder, with thick snow at his feet.

He was talking to himself, thinking incessantly.

The clothes on his body have also been changed, the previous yellow and black haori has been broken, and now he is wearing a dark red haori.

It was the clothes that Goto carried with him.

Tomioka Yoshiyuki was standing beside him, he looked around, and then slowly locked his eyes on the wedge ball on Tanjuro's waist.

After hesitating for a while, he observed Tanjuro's eyes a little bit, and said hesitantly:

"Stove door."

When Tanjuro heard his name, he turned his head slightly, looked at Yoshiyuki Tomioka with sleepy eyes, and waited for the other party's next words:
"Ok?"

Yoshiyuki Tomioka slowly stretched out his finger to Kagemaru, looked at Tanjuro, and asked in an unquestionable voice:

"This knife of yours...is not a sun wheel knife."

"Can you kill ghosts?"

His question came from the heart.

Hearing this, Tanjuro also looked down at his own wedge ball, and pulled it out of the scabbard:

Clang!
Tanjuro's exhausted expression was reflected on the black and clean blade, and he was slightly taken aback when he saw his own expression clearly.

that's right.

Wedge pill is just a hard knife.

It was able to hurt Wu Mi before, but it turned into a He Dao purely because it was burnt red.

But I can't burn a knife in the background for an hour every time before going on stage.

thought here.

Tanjuro Kamado looked sideways at Yoshiyuki Tomioka, with a kind expression, a smile on his tired face, and a tall red ponytail swaying slightly with the cold wind:

"Indeed..." He said softly.

"There's so much going on that I can't even think about it."

As he said that, Tanjuro nodded to Yoshiyuki Tomioka, agreeing with the other party's thoughts.

"...?"

Tanjuro's smile was reflected in Yoshiyuki Tomioka's calm pupils, he suddenly frowned and froze in place.

For some reason, Yoshiyuki Tomioka felt a chill all over his body for no reason.

creak... creak...

He took two steps back, his footbags stepped on the snow, making a creaking sound, he opened his mouth slightly, with the corners of his mouth drooping, and looked at Tanjuro with disgust.

Tomioka Yoshiyuki kept this expression, staring at Tanjuro.

Kamado Tanjuro's smile froze on his face, and veins popped up on his forehead.

He has always had a good temper, but his tone was a little cold because of his exhaustion yesterday.

Just now, after noticing his cold and tired expression, he tried to recover his previous mood.

did not expect.

Tomioka Giyuu is far more difficult to communicate than imagined.

Taking a deep breath, Tanjuro sorted out his emotions, and then.

"you."

Tanjuro Kamado had blue veins popping up on his forehead. He pointed at Yoshiyuki Tomioka, and said surprisingly:

"Be often hated by people!"

"!!" Tomioka Yoshiyuki's disgusted expression gradually turned into shock, he opened his mouth slightly, and looked at Kamado Tanjuro with a little choking.

Just when the two were deadlocked.

"Kah!! Kah!!"

In the sky, black crows circled down and swooped towards Tomioka Yoshiyuki, and Binggaga shouted:

"Handling! Tomioka Yoshiyuki!!"

"Go to the snowy mountains in the north! Go!"

"Ka!!"

The crow sprinted at a high speed, then flapped its wings, and stopped the car when it was about to hit Yoshiyuki Tomioka.

But he still slapped Tomioka Giyuu with his beak, and kept shouting:

"Brave! Your lord has sent an order!"

"...I see, Kansaburo." Tomioka Yoshiyuki raised his head, looked at his crow, and nodded.

Hearing this, the crow named Kansaburo flapped its wings in relief and flew high again:
"North! North ahead!"

……

……

Because there are generally no evil spirits appearing during the day.

Therefore, the members of the ghost killing team are usually on their way during the day, or in a state of tracking and investigation.

Time passed slowly, and the dusk slowly came to an end.

The dark night gradually rose from the other side of the sky, covering up the dazzling sunlight.

Northern Snow Mountains.

There have always been rumors of evil spirits hurting people around here, but the ghost killing team sent members to investigate many times, but in the end they all returned without success.

After successive incidents of wounding people, Giyuu Tomioka, one of the strongest fighters of the Demon Slayer Squad, was sent here.

Prepare to eradicate the scourge here one at a time.

night.

A small town under the snow mountain.

The snow had already covered his ankles, so there were not many people on the street.

……

……

Somewhere in a dark room on the second floor.

"Roar……!!"

The brown figure with its back to the door was squatting on the ground, its head was lowered, its shoulders shrugged, and the sound of chewing could be heard continuously.

"Gudu...Gudu..." The swallowing sound echoed in the dark room.

Black and red semi-coagulated blood slowly flowed under the brown figure, overflowing towards the outside of the door.

Sudden.

It seems to have noticed something.

"...Huh?" The brown figure stopped chewing, and he turned his head slightly, his sinister, veined face was facing the door, and his scarlet pupils twitched quickly to scan.

In his hand, he was holding a foot that had been severed from the calf.

The ferocious face, the dense veins that do not conform to human characteristics, and the disgusting unicorn growing on the top of the head.

All showed the identity of the brown figure.

"Heh cough...ha..."

in the corner of the room
A young man whose clothes had been soaked in blood and whose original color could not be seen was leaning against the wall, sitting half-lying on the floor with his head bowed.

His eyes were blank, with only black blood stains left on half of his face, he moaned unconsciously, his hoarse voice was particularly horrifying in the silent environment:
"Ho..."

"...quick... run..."

"……ghost…"

He held a crude pistol in his hand, and his fingers twitched slightly, as if pulling the trigger with the last effort.

boom!
With a flash of bright sparks, the whole room was illuminated.

The bullet spiraled and hit the "sandbags" stacked in the corner of the room.

then.

"boom--!!"
