Crossover Anime: Starting with Bankai from Demon Slayer

Chapter 419 Dragon and Witch

The incessant rain, like a giant gray curtain, shrouded the turbulent city in a hazy, damp chill.

Lifting her foot and feeling the wet pant leg, Fei Niao regretted not wearing capri pants.

"I heard this city is called the Fog City, is it because of this kind of weather?" Shinobu Kocho asked curiously, holding an umbrella, as Shinbashi stood to the side with an indifferent expression.

Shinbashi thought about it carefully for a moment, then shook his head: "That's one reason, but not the whole story."

"Due to historical reasons, coal was used extensively as an energy source here, which is why the air is often foggy."

.

Nini, blowing bubbles, turned her head away and added at the opportune moment: "It's only in the last few decades, when human society started to pay attention to environmental protection, that things have improved a little. Otherwise, it would be even more exaggerated than what you see now."

"Wait, is that so?" Shinobu Kocho covered her mouth in slight surprise.

Actually, she already knew, but she only brought it up to exchange a few pleasantries with the two young girls.

As they spoke, the four of them arrived at the depths of a secluded alley.

There were no pedestrians here, only a solitary, old-looking red telephone booth.

"arrive."

Nini stopped and took out a coin with a peculiar pattern from her pocket.

SoulSociety·WestBranch

She opened the phone booth door and skillfully inserted coins into the coin slot.

Ding-dong—

The coin falls.

Immediately afterwards, a faint blue light began to illuminate both inside and outside the phone booth.

"Ladies first, Shinjo, please take good care of Mr. Aska."

As Nini spoke, she pulled Shinobu Kocho into the phone booth, then quickly entered a complicated password on the keypad and pressed the red key.

Boom!

A low, mechanical roar came, and the bird felt the ground beneath its feet begin to shake violently.

Then, the entire phone booth seemed to transform into a rapidly descending elevator, carrying Nene and Shinobu Kocho underground towards London.

All that remained was a deep pit radiating a deep blue light.

Before long, the phone booth returned the way it came, but the person inside was gone.

"Let's go, Mr. Asuka." Shinbashi opened the phone booth door for Asuka and repeated what Nini had done earlier.

Whoosh!!

The phone booth, carrying the birds and the new bridge, plummeted rapidly. The dark brick walls and the soil on both sides instantly collapsed, transforming into countless swirling, colorful specks of spiritual light.

The birds could sense that they were not physically moving underground.

Instead, it penetrated a thick dimensional barrier and entered an independent space that was both the counterpart to London and yet completely different from it.

A moment later, the feeling of weightlessness suddenly disappeared, and the door of the phone booth clicked open automatically.

Welcome to London.

As Fei Niao stepped out, the sight before him momentarily stunned even the well-traveled Fei Niao.

There was no rain here, and the sky displayed an unreal, fantastical, clear, and bright color.

While the surrounding architecture retains the characteristics of London, it is filled with all sorts of incredible magical elements.

A clock tower suspended in mid-air, a monster train running smoothly on a sky track, and a dense, strange energy in the air.

"This is London? It's definitely much better than the Holy See," Asuka couldn't help but exclaim.

However, before Asuka could take a good look at this new world, a violent surge of magical energy suddenly erupted from behind him!

On the street, an old brick building collapsed with a crash.

Amidst the billowing dust, a massive and twisted figure suddenly leaped into the air.

It was a strange creature.

It looked like a huge, long-dead draft horse, except that it had wings on its back, green fire in its eyes, and was wrapped in purplish-black vines. It didn't look like a naturally existing creature at all.

"Are you kidding me?!" Nini exclaimed, speechless. "I've only been in London for less than a minute!"

What's in front of me is what's called a "dragon".

The dragon is not a fire-breathing lizard as in legends, nor is it an auspicious beast soaring through the heavens.

In London, all magical creatures that can use magic or possess magical power, whether animals, plants, or even certain sentient minerals, are collectively called "dragons."

Seeing the monster that suddenly shot up from behind and spewed corrosive acid everywhere, Nini's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Complaining is useless, Nini," Noel Shinbashi's voice remained calm.

She lifted her skirt and took a strangely shaped horn from the straps tied around her thigh.

"According to regulations, it is our duty as witches to protect citizens and execute them on the spot when encountering unregistered berserk dragons."

"I know!" Nini gritted her teeth and pulled out her magic flute. "What an incredibly unlucky day! Give me three minutes, and I'm going to turn this disgusting creature into mincemeat!"

Faced with this sudden battle, neither Asuka nor Shinobu had any intention of making a move.

It wasn't just because, according to his agreement with Ichibei, he wouldn't act rashly during the investigation at the West Shore Bureau.

He was even more eager to see how these two girls who called themselves witches would fight.

He could sense that the power surging within these two people was completely different from that of the Shinigami in Soul Society.

The two blew their horns at the same time, and a strange energy fluctuation followed.

Then, two dark figures descended from the sky with a whoosh, landing in front of them and carrying them on their backs as they soared into the sky.

Upon closer inspection, they were two unidentified winged creatures, one red and one green.

"Is this what they call the 'White Dragon'? They say it's a beneficial beast that can help the residents of London with their daily lives."

Shinobu Kocho stood beside Asuka, her eyes gleaming with curiosity and analytical intent: "If only the Hollows of Soul Society were this obedient, it would save us a lot of trouble."

In mid-air, Nini and Xinqiao had already engaged the monster in battle.

Xinqiao aimed the magic flute at the charging thorny giant horse and rapidly chanted short syllables.

"The tip of the finger, the sharpness of the voice."

"Avenger, John, Iron Key."

"Five locks and three chains, encircling silence."

"The flute's melody heralds pure darkness—"

As she chanted, the magic in the air rapidly gathered in geometric patterns, forming an intricate golden magic circle in front of the magic flute.

Ugh—!

She blew the magic flute with all her might, and a high-density golden beam of light shot out from it, striking the giant horse squarely in the left wing!

With a loud bang, the giant horse's wings were shattered, and it wobbled as it was about to fall off.

Almost at the same time, Nini had already ridden the red flying dragon and soared into the sky at an even higher altitude.

She aimed her magic flute at the falling giant horse and said coldly, "Magic Number 33: Azure Thunder Shackles."

As soon as he finished speaking, five intertwined blue lightning bolts shot out, transforming into thick lightning chains that pinned the massive body firmly to the ground.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the two of them brought the behemoth, which had just been about to cause destruction, under their control.
