Crossover Anime: Starting from Jobless Reincarnation

Kagaya Ubuyashiki silently watched Muzan Kibutsuji's departing figure, took a deep breath, and said to Roya, "This time, thanks to the Sound Pillar, otherwise, I'm afraid I would have died at his hands."

Roya didn't waste any words and readily accepted the other party's thanks. The situation was indeed as Ubuyashiki Kagaya had said. If it weren't for Roya, then what awaited Ubuyashiki Kagaya would likely have been death.

Given Muzan Kibutsuji's personality, the other party wouldn't care whether Kagaya Ubuyashiki was his bloodline or not. However, Roya could also sense that the other party's combat power was definitely much stronger than it was three hundred years ago.

However, it makes sense. Yoriichi Tsugikuni's terrifying strength must have left a deep psychological scar on Muzan Kibutsuji, so it's understandable that he would have made preparations.

Honestly, things are getting more and more complicated.

Thinking of this, Luo Ya stopped pretending and directly removed all the bandages from his head.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki looked at Roya with surprise as he removed the bandages, and asked with some curiosity, "Aren't you going to keep them on?"

Looking at Muzan Kibutsuji's departing figure, Roya said, "He must have already seen through my condition; I'm not injured."

This is probably why Muzan Kibutsuji didn't make a move here.

Perhaps it was a decision to completely annihilate the Demon Slayer Corps, and to prevent them from taking root and continuing their endless entanglement with Muzan Kibutsuji generation after generation.

Roya walked outside and said, "Let's grab a knife and get ready; we don't have much time left."

Luo Ya did not go to sleep. He remained sitting in his chair, gazing at the night sky. The sky was so dark that not a single ray of light could be seen, and even the moon was obscured by dark clouds.

Whether it will be an endless, dark night or the approaching dawn, Luo Ya said he was looking forward to it.

The night was long and sluggish. Sitting alone in his chair, gazing at the night, his golden hair swayed gently in the summer breeze. At that moment, Roya felt incredibly poetic, like a hero about to defeat the Demon King, gazing at the moon on the eve of his departure.

In an instant, the pressure was immense.

Just as Roya was indulging in self-satisfaction, Tanjiro Kamado, standing outside with his Nichirin Blade in hand, said to Roya, "Good evening, Roya-nii. By the way, why aren't you asleep yet?"

This was Tanjiro Kamado, who had just finished patrolling and was about to go home to sleep. Since he had to train the next day, Tanjiro would finish his work and then go home to sleep for three hours. This was the happiest time for Tanjiro. The morning training would really damage Tanjiro's confidence. By training with the Pillars, Tanjiro knew where he was at.

Although the other Pillars were very kind to Tanjiro Kamado, the problem was that the blow was still too great.

There are still gaps. Tanjiro Kamado hasn't activated his Demon Slayer Mark yet, hasn't experienced Akaza's battle, and hasn't developed the Transparent World. He only has the Breath of the Sun left, and he can't use it for long because it consumes too much energy.

In other words, Tanjiro Kamado is really a bit useless now.

Luo Ya looked at Kamado Tanjiro thoughtfully and said to him, "Kibutsuji Muzan just arrived."

Tanjiro Kamado's expression changed instantly. His first reaction was to hurriedly look into the house, but then, seeing Roya's leisurely expression, his expression gradually softened.

Tanjiro Kamado clutched his pounding heart and said with a slightly annoyed tone, "Brother Roya, don't scare me like that."

Roya shook his head, his face serious, and said, "This time it's really going to be a decisive battle with them. The location is Infinity Castle, and the time is in a week. I think you should stay home and watch over Nezuko and the others."

Tanjiro Kamado paused for a moment, then his expression became unusually serious as he said, "Brother Roya, I want to participate this time. I want to do my part. There's still a week left, so I'll do my best."

Luo Ya felt a headache coming on, but after thinking for a moment, he said, "That's fine then, you should still be of use to me."

With the protagonist as a sidekick, fate will surely be on his side. I hope everything goes smoothly.

Seeing that Tanjiro Kamado looked exhausted, Roya didn't say anything more and said to Tanjiro Kamado, "Go inside and rest."

Tanjiro Kamado knew that Roya usually sat in the courtyard, so he didn't say much, walked in by himself, and closed the door to the inner courtyard.

Luo Ya dozed off for a while, and when he opened his eyes again, it was already dawn. In his hazy state, he seemed to see that figure again.

Luo Ya stood up and walked outside.

Pillar training begins.

Of course, the pillar won't arrive so quickly.

The only one who would arrive immediately was Kanroji Mitsuri.

The little girl has been clinging to Luo Ya more and more lately. Every time she goes on patrol, she stares longingly at Luo Ya. At this time, only a farewell kiss can comfort her.

Before coming, Kanroji Mitsuri took a bath, and you could smell a faint fragrance emanating from her when you got close.

The more Luo Ya looked at Kanroji Mitsuri, the more pleasing she became to his eye. Although Kanroji Mitsuri wasn't the type to immediately amaze people, her natural innocence was truly wonderful.

As usual, Roya reached out and put his arm around Kanroji Mitsuri's waist. The touch was soft, a feeling that was hard to describe. In short, Roya's hand unconsciously tightened its grip.

Compared to their first encounter, Kanroji Mitsuri's demeanor was much more subdued this time.

Although her cheeks were still flushed, she didn't dodge away; instead, she moved closer to where Roya was.

Tanjiro Kamado, who had only caught a glimpse of the scene from afar, suddenly widened his eyes, then his cheeks turned bright red. The young boy couldn't bear to see such things and quickly turned his head away.

Luo Ya gently took Ganroji Mitsuri's hand and said seriously, "After this incident is over, I'll bring you to my hometown. What do you think?"

Kanroji Mitsuri nodded slightly, and Roya smiled and said, "Alright, in that case, it's decided."

Since it was still morning, and it was impossible to do such a thing in broad daylight, he decided to restrain himself a little.

While we may be consolidating our efforts, this doesn't mean we should do nothing.

Kanroji Mitsuri's hands weren't particularly delicate; on the contrary, they appeared somewhat rough due to her recent experience holding a sword.

This is a normal phenomenon in sword practice; after all, not everyone can be as skilled as Roya.

After lingering for a while longer, the first pillar finally appeared.

Needless to say, it was Rengoku Kyojuro. Kanroji Mitsuri's house was relatively close to this place, so it was not unexpected that she was able to come over so quickly.

Roya greeted Rengoku Kyojuro, who flashed a row of neat teeth and returned an even louder greeting.

As agreed, the remaining Demon Slayer Corps members arrived one after another in the following days.

Without wasting any more words, Luo Ya quickly began the training, constantly instructing the others and using the Transparent World to point out flaws in their movements.

These things may not mean much to Roya, but they are invaluable to the Pillars.

Perhaps in Roya's eyes, all of this was just unintentional, and the increase in strength was not significant, but that was relative to the markings and the Transparent World.

Both enlightenments occur in an instant, and the abilities that can be improved are naturally considerable. However, one of these abilities involves consuming one's own life force to convert it into power, while the other requires talent to achieve.

Compared to the Pillars' independent training, the improvement in strength brought about by Roja's guidance was almost visible to the naked eye.

Each pillar would fight against the others to learn their own weaknesses and shortcomings. Roya would sometimes step in to give guidance, and his guidance was extremely simple: he would beat the opponent in every aspect.

The strongest among the pillars is undoubtedly the Stone Pillar, this huge guy.

Luo Ya realized that Gyomei Himejima's strength was enough to go toe-to-toe with Upper Moon Three.

The weapon used by Gyomei Himejima was also very strange. He used a broad axe and a meteor hammer connected by a long chain. The "Crimson Sand Iron" contained in it was of extremely high purity. Although it was very heavy, Gyomei could still easily swing it at the same time.

Given Himejima Gyomei's physique, it's understandable that he can wield his weapon so easily. Although his strength might be slightly inferior to Kanroji Mitsuri's, combat power isn't solely measured by strength.

Luo Ya pondered that if Kanroji Mitsuri were to face Himejima Gyomei, she would probably be defeated in no more than a few dozen moves, which was due to the difference in skill.

Thinking of this, Roya's gaze involuntarily fell upon Kanroji Mitsuri again. She was currently fighting Rengoku Kyojuro. It's worth noting that Kanroji Mitsuri had also obtained her own unique Nichirin Blade. Just like in the original story, Kanroji Mitsuri's Nichirin Blade was a retractable sword, as flexible as a whip yet possessing great strength and resilience. Its shape featured a chaotic blade pattern, giving this Nichirin Blade a very distinct personal style. The scabbard was white, the hilt was gray-green with a heart shape, the pink tsuba (handguard) resembled a four-leaf clover, and the blade was pink. It could be coiled and folded into the scabbard.

Although the sword's design is quite strange, it's certain that Mitsuri Kanroji's attack speed is not slow; even Kyojuro Rengoku would have to be careful of her attacks.

Luo Ya observed for a short while before shaking his head again, realizing there was still too much room for improvement.

After dealing with Himejima Gyomei, and then giving the self-proclaimed magnificent Sound Pillar a good beating, this morning's training session came to an end.

However, at the end, Roya did not rush to dismiss everyone. Instead, he gathered them together and said, "One week from now, in the Infinity Castle, we will have a final battle with Muzan Kibutsuji. I hope everyone is prepared and makes sure you don't get injured. Get ready to face the challenge ahead!"

Chapter 142 The eve of the decisive battle

Time flies, and time always slips away unnoticed.

As the story progressed, the atmosphere within the Demon Slayer Corps became increasingly subtle. The entire Corps was in a state of extreme tension, and even members unaware of the inside story could sense the impending storm.

Although Roja was on the training pillar, a week was not enough to change anything. Although there was some progress, the time was still too short.

The day before the battle agreed upon with Muzan Kibutsuji, everyone gathered early in the morning to discuss how to prepare for the upcoming decisive battle.

Luo Ya coughed twice, stepped forward first, cleared his throat slightly, and addressed the crowd with the air of a leader speaking: "Tomorrow is the decisive battle. I won't waste any more words. Everyone, do your best. I have seen your efforts in the past few days. Everyone is making full preparations for the coming storm. I am looking forward to tomorrow's battle."

Then, as if remembering something, Roya looked around at the pillars and said to everyone, "I'm here to deal with Muzan Kibutsuji, and you'll most likely be dealing with three Upper Moons."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Luo Ya. However, the prestige Luo Ya had accumulated over the past few days prevented anyone from questioning him; they simply focused their attention on him.

In recent days, the pillars have been almost completely humiliated. The greater their improvement in strength, the more brutal the defeat they have suffered.

Roya nodded and said without further ado, "Only I can cut off Muzan Kibutsuji's head. This is not because I don't trust you, but because it is true. None of you can keep up with my speed."

Roya paused, and seeing that everyone remained silent and there was no sudden provocation like at the previous Pillar Meeting, Roya nodded in satisfaction.

Luo Ya continued, "But even if you cut off his head, it won't help. The Demon King Muzan Kibutsuji's strength is not limited to fighting; he is also more adept at escaping."

Luo Ya walked up to the group and slowly spoke as he circled around them: "Three hundred years ago, there was a swordsman whose strength was incredibly terrifying. So terrifying that even at eighty years old, his frail body could still unleash a strike from his prime. The current Upper Moon One was almost killed by that strike."

The Pillars exchanged bewildered glances. Mitsuri Kanroji, who was standing in the middle of the group, looked up and saw that everyone was silent. She couldn't help but ask, "That's right. Wouldn't it be better if we all fought Muzan Kibutsuji together? There's strength in numbers."

Luo Ya shook his head and looked at everyone, saying, "No, dealing with Muzan Kibutsuji is no longer about numbers creating an advantage. Once Muzan Kibutsuji becomes alert, he will definitely run away, just like that moment three hundred years ago when Muzan Kibutsuji turned into seven hundred pieces of flesh and ran away."

All the pillars were slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and Kanroji Mitsuri exclaimed with her mouth agape, "More than seven hundred pieces?"

Luo Ya expressed his satisfaction with his wife's shock, and with the two of them performing in unison, they successfully recreated the battle between Yoriichi Tsugikuni and Muzan Kibutsuji. At this moment, everyone was frowning.

Sound Pillar couldn't help but step forward and ask earnestly, "You magnificent young man, is it really possible?"

The meaning of the Sound Pillar is that the task of dealing with Muzan Kibutsuji can truly be entrusted to Roja alone.

Roya shook his head and chuckled, "You've all seen the battles these past few days. Who among you can keep up with my speed? Compared to the Demon King, those Upper Moons are still yours to deal with. Don't be fooled by how easily I killed the three Upper Moons; in reality, the Upper Moons aren't exactly easy to handle."

Yinzhu was silent for a moment, then nodded and returned to the group.

Seeing the various expressions on everyone's faces, Roya assumed that everyone was a little resentful, so he continued, "Of course, everyone can come and help out after you've dealt with the Upper Moon. In short, we should all help each other. Well, that's all for this speech. Meeting adjourned."
