"Sigh, basic skills, don't be silly. Let's go. It's time for you to experience the power of Lower Moon One, Nightmare. He's in your hands now. By the way, although his strength is far inferior to Upper Moon One, he's much stronger than that spider demon from Spider Mountain."
"Yes, sir!"
As the mist appeared, Yang Bo went in first, followed closely by Nezuko and Tanjiro.
'This fog is like a bug, no, the fog itself is a bug, whether in reality or the virtual world!'
Clang, clang, clang…
Emerging from the mist, the sound of the train was clearly audible, and the antique-style carriages were filled with passengers trapped in the Blood Demon Spell.
Flame Pillar Purgatory Anjuro, Inosuke, Xiao Huangmao Zenitsu...
Tanjiro emerged from the mist and saw the scene before him. He immediately ran to Zenitsu and shook his body, crying, "Zenitsu, wake up!! Zenitsu!!"
"Inosuke!! Wake up!!"
"Shouting like that won't do any good."
Yang Bo stopped Tanjiro's futile attempt, stepped forward, and patted him on the shoulder: "Go find Lower Moon One and defeat it. Remember, this is a trial! A trial from the past! Human growth... is about overcoming one's immature past... Don't forget, Nezuko still needs you."
"Yes!!"
Some of the cringeworthy lines made Tanjiro take them too seriously; he twitched his nostrils as he sensed the demonic energy in the air.
'The ghostly aura is so strong, I actually fell asleep in this environment. If it weren't for you, sir…'
He was lost in a dream so real it was almost immersive, and he didn't know when he would wake up.
"Sir, I'll leave this to you."
"Go ahead. Oh, right, Nezuko, use your Blood Demon Art to burn all the ropes binding them. Oh, and don't bother, little blondie."
"Ah."
Nezuko stepped forward, reached out, and burned the special hemp ropes tied to Rengoku and Inosuke's wrists.
"Sir, Shan Yi..."
"It's alright, his subconscious personality can perfectly protect him!"
"Another personality?"
"He has schizophrenia. He's at his strongest when he's asleep. Okay, let's not waste any more time. Go do it. Nezuko, you go too. If your brother can't handle it, go help him."
"Ah."
Tanjiro and Nezuko both nodded seriously.
As a demon, Nezuko is immune to Blood Demon Art, and with her Nichirin Blade, maidservant, and Sun Breathing, she is even more adept at dealing with Lower Moon One Enmu than Tanjiro.
Watching the two leave, Yang Bo sat down in front of Rengoku Kyojuro.
Kyojuro Rengoku, the Flame Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, is one of the nine Pillars. He is cheerful, hot-blooded, has a strong sense of justice, a loud voice, and an amazing appetite.
He is as warm and reliable as the sun, and is called "Big Brother" by Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and even Inosuke.
'It really does look like an owl... but looking closely, it's actually quite handsome.'
Kyojuro Rengoku's face and long, reddish-yellow gradient hair bear a resemblance to an owl. However, he is currently asleep; otherwise, his bright, piercing eyes would make him even more like one.
A blue Void Devourer appeared in his hand, pointing at the two teenagers who had regained consciousness in the carriage.
"roll!"
With a clang, two silvery-white, syringe-like objects fell onto the carriage floor, making a crisp sound.
The two men, who had just stood up, felt as if the strange man sitting in the chair had transformed into a beast ready to devour its prey; the intense murderous aura made them feel suffocated.
The two of them instantly collapsed to the floor in terror.
"Mental shock"
The targeted mental shock caused the two ordinary people to fall unconscious on the floor without any disturbance.
Ordinary people who submit to Lower Moon One, Nightmare, for the sake of "beautiful dreams" are here connected to Tanjiro and his companions' dreams through the rope provided by Nightmare, and use special tools to destroy the core of their subconscious.
In other words, they kill for Nightmare in order to get a 'reward'.
He took a bucket of milk out of his backpack and aimed it at Rengoku Kyojuro, who was lost in a dream.
'use!'
The next moment, Kyojuro Rengoku suddenly opened his eyes.
His piercing gaze immediately locked onto Yang Bo, who was sitting in front of him.
'There's no smell of ghosts.'
"who are you?"
"Yang Bo is a businessman. Respected Flame Pillar Kyojuro Rengoku, I want to make a deal with you, a deal you can refuse, but you will regret."
Chapter 144 Lower Moon One: Nightmare
puff--
The serrated blade easily pierced Yang Bo's chest. Despite being stabbed, Yang Bo showed no pain on his face; instead, he even wore a smile of excitement and satisfaction.
"That's it!! Inosuke, I believe in you!"
"Ah—what kind of monster are you?!"
Inosuke, wielding two Nichirin Blades, launched a frenzied attack on Yang Bo's body.
-7
-9
-7
"Armament Haki leveled up to 8"
"Using Armament Haki to envelop the weapon increases its attack damage and allows it to attack Logia-type Devil Fruit users."
He uses Armament Haki to harden his body, gaining damage reduction and a fixed 40 points of damage reduction.
Using Armament Haki to imbue a weapon for an extended period will increase its attack power and durability.
-0
-0
With his damage reduced to zero again, Yang Bo removed the last Nether Alloy Breastplate from his equipment inventory.
-4
-4
Even without any equipment, the attack value is still not as high as before.
"Resistance Enhancement III ∞/∞"
'Has the resistance boost also been upgraded to level 3?'
He pulled out a healing apple and popped it into his mouth: "As expected of the King of the Mountains!! That's some serious strength!"
Once he regained consciousness, Zenitsu huddled in the corner of the carriage seat, staring in terror at the two people in the carriage corridor.
"You're both crazy! You're both crazy! I want to go home!"
Just as Yang Bo was preparing to upgrade his "Armament Haki" a few more levels, the sound of flesh writhing filled the entire carriage.
Dark red flesh and blood seeped out from the gaps in the carriage and quickly engulfed the entire carriage.
"Tanjiro, that's fast. I wonder if he and his sister can defeat Lower Moon One, Enmu..."
Upon seeing this, Rengoku Kyojuro suddenly stood up, staring at the tentacles extending from the flesh and blood.
“This train has eight carriages. I’ll be in charge of the last five, and you and Zenitsu will be in charge of the first three… Don’t let innocent people get hurt.”
"that…"
Yang Bo pulled Inosuke's Nichirin Blade out of his body: "I'll also take charge of one of the carriages. I'll go check on the one connected to the engine."
Rengoku Kyojuro stared at Yang Bo for a moment, then suddenly shouted:
"Thank you!"
Yang Bo: "..."
Kyojuro Rengoku is good in every way, but his tendency to be easily startled is really a headache.
As I walked towards the front carriage, flesh and blood gradually grew. The dark red flesh and blood were truly horrifying, mainly because of its disgusting appearance.
He dodged a tentacle that had condensed into the shape of an arm by turning his head. The next moment, flames rose in the carriage, and then all the tentacles in the carriage were cut off by Rengoku Kyojuro.
'That speed…'
Given his current condition, he can only see Kyojuro's figure; he's far from being able to keep up with the other's movements.
'I need to find a way to increase my speed, otherwise no matter how high my defense is, I'm just a punching bag...'
Although he's tough as a punching bag, just taking hits isn't his style.
Arriving at the front carriage, it had been completely transformed into a den of flesh and blood, with even the floor filled with writhing gore.
Tentacles reached out towards the passengers who were asleep in their seats.
"Thunderbolt Flash - Eight-Strike Combo"
Golden lightning flashed through the carriage, and the tentacles were easily severed by the longsword.
The next moment, the entire train burst into flames, and some green particles appeared on the dark red flesh.
Poisoning, burning, inhibition of regeneration...
A series of negative buffs appeared.
"what--"
The screams of Lower Moon One, Nightmare, echoed from all around the carriage. The power of the wisteria flower caused him unbearable pain, while the power that suppressed regeneration reduced his recovery rate by a percentage.
Even the rate at which tentacles are generated has slowed down.
"While becoming a ghost provides a significant boost, it also has many weaknesses."
