Crossover Anime: Starting with Bankai from Demon Slayer

Chapter 420 The Dragon Possessor and the Dark Dragon

"A very interesting system."

Shinobu Kocho, who had watched the whole thing carefully, whispered to Asuka, "The magic they were talking about does indeed have a very high degree of similarity to Kido in terms of the way energy is released."

"Miss Shinbashi's attack just now was somewhat like a direct attack such as the Crimson Fire Cannon, while Miss Nini's moves were more like a binding spell such as the Six Staff Light Prison."

"However, the Grim Reapers' Demonic Path relies on outputting their own spiritual power and converting it into destructive or binding force."

"But these two witches don't actually have a large reserve of spiritual energy; in fact, it could be said to be quite weak..."

"6

Shinobu Kocho frowned slightly as she carefully observed the magical flutes in the two's hands: "Is it through chanting and those flute-like weapons in their hands that they resonate with the magical power of this world?"

"No matter what, it's a very novel power, and I feel it's worth studying."

However, while Shinobu Kocho was excitedly analyzing the differences between Western magic and Eastern Kido, Asuka only felt a headache and dizziness.

It wasn't because he developed PTSD and started to feel drowsy whenever he heard words like "ghost path" or "chanting."

My head really hurts.

"Well....

""

He let out a suppressed groan and unconsciously took a half step back.

"Asuka? What's wrong with you?" Shinobu Kocho noticed Asuka's unusual behavior and quickly turned around.

That once stern face was now covered in sweat, and his spiritual pressure began to become unstable.

A frenzied crimson glint uncontrollably rose in the depths of those pitch-black eyes.

From the moment that dragon appeared and emitted magical energy, Asuka felt a sudden, inexplicable panic.

Countless voices seemed to be roaring in his ears, urging him to release his Gigabi, draw his Zanpakuto, rush forward, tear the creature to pieces, drain its magical energy, and chew it up...

"What's going on? Is it the evil of this world?" Asuka was startled, but after carefully sensing for a long time, she found no trace of evil thoughts.

He didn't know where this feeling came from, so he could only suppress his headache and wave to Shinobu Kocho: "I'm fine."

""

boom!

Just then, the battle ahead had already been decided.

Under Nini's control, Xinqiao descended from the sky, piercing the giant horse's head with a point-blank blue spark.

The entangled thorns withered instantly, and the corpse completely fell silent.

And the bird's headache was gone.

"Phew... This is exhausting." Nini blew away the gunpowder smoke from the muzzle of the Magic Flute Gun and turned to walk towards Asuka and Shinobu Kocho.

Shinjo landed beside the corpse, kicked the withered, purplish-black vines with his toe, and a look of seriousness flashed in his eyes.

"Target type confirmed." Shinbashi took out his communicator and reported calmly to the leader, though it was unclear who he was speaking to: "It's not an ordinary dark dragon, it's a [Face-Covered Dragon]."

"A masked dragon?" Nini frowned and walked over. "No wonder it looks so disgusting... Are there any [Dragon Possessions] around here?"

Seeing Asuka trying to remain calm and wiping away her cold sweat, Shinobu frowned but didn't ask any further questions.

She walked up to the two men and asked softly, "Gentlemen, may I ask what 'faced dragon' and 'dragon-possessed' mean?"

Nini looked at the two special advisors curiously, wondering how they didn't even know these things...

Newbridge put away her communicator and explained in her flat tone, "In the ecosystem of London, dragons are the resource that sustains our society."

"Most dragons are docile or can be managed by dragon herders, but there are also dangerous black dragons."

"The masked dragon is a type of black dragon."

"They don't have a fixed form. They love to invade the corpses of recently deceased creatures, whether animals or humans... They manipulate the corpses to create a personification, which then transforms them into highly aggressive monsters."

She pointed to the pile of rotten horse meat on the ground: "This masked dragon must have been parasitizing a dead chariot-pulling dragon horse."

"As for those who are attached to dragons..." Nini continued, glancing around, "They refer to humans whose physical constitution has mutated due to prolonged contact with dragons, being bitten by dragons, or being cursed by dragons."

"Although dragons possess magical powers, they generally do not actively attack human settlements."

"However, black dragons like the Masked Dragon are naturally attracted to the special hormones and magical wavelengths emitted by those who possess them."

"These people are like super light bulbs in the dark, or walking catnip, constantly attracting dangerous dark dragons to attack them. They are beings that need the protection of our Natural Dragon Management Bureau."

Nini scratched her golden hair, looking around in confusion: "That's strange..."

""

"This neighborhood has clearly undergone a population screening, and there are no registered 'Dragon's Accomplices' here..."

'

Upon hearing this explanation, Shinobu Kocho suddenly understood and secretly glanced at Asuka's expression.

Sure enough, it got even more gloomy...

If Asuka's guess is correct, this black dragon is coming for him.

From the moment that creature appeared until its death, its eyes, glowing with green flames, remained fixed on him.

What attracted him?

Is it the immense spiritual power within him? Or is it his special constitution as a Grim Reaper?

"Never mind, the Bureau of Management will be here soon to clean up the scene."

Nini waved her hand impatiently, "Let's take these two to see the captain first. I can't wait to take a hot bath!"

Urged on by Nini, the group left the crime scene and continued deeper into London.

Throughout the journey, the bird remained silent.

Although the headache and nausea disappeared with the death of the masked dragon, the harmless little dragons that were everywhere around him, used as vehicles, light sources, or simply wandering around, still made him feel irritated.

The butterfly clung tightly to the bird, glancing up at him every now and then with concern.

She didn't say much in front of Nini and Shinbashi, but silently took Asuka's hand and walked with him.

After walking for about twenty minutes, the four of them arrived at a magnificent building that had a classical style but also incorporated a lot of modern and magical elements.

Above the building's main entrance hangs a huge emblem, engraved with crossed flutes and a dragon.

This is one of the most heavily guarded areas in London, the residence of the Pied Piper Ensemble.

After passing through the heavily guarded hall, Nini and Shinbashi led Asuka and the other two to a spacious office on the top floor with ease.

knock knock.

"Please come in."

An old yet kind voice came from inside the door.

Pushing open the door, Asuka saw an office that was arranged like a storage room, a messy and disorganized space.

Behind the desk sat a small old man who looked to be in his sixties or seventies.

He wore a strange hat that looked like a brass horn, had a thick white beard on his chin, and a kind smile on his face.

If he weren't sitting in the position of the leader of the flute team, he would look just like a retired old man playing an instrument in the square.

He is one of the members of "Corner Point" and the leader of the flute team.

Captain—Trombo Takne.
