Konoha's Mission Master

Evil spirits are divided into two main categories.

Humanoid ghosts and alien ghosts.

The former generally maintains a human form, but their enhancement methods vary. The representative figure is Doma, who wields the power of ice. The latter rarely takes on a human form, and their enhancement methods are also bizarre. The representative figure is Gyokko, whom Yakumo fought.

Of course, during that time, Yakumo also encountered other strange and bizarre demons. Some had two faces, or dozens of arms of varying lengths. Some demons even merged with objects to form sofas, houses, and secret rooms that would eat people.

Of course, the most memorable part was after killing the demon...

Yakumo and Rengoku Kyojuro casually bought some food and drinks at the 24-hour shop, but they were very happy eating them.

Looking back now.

Yakumo can still think of those simple yet delicious foods.

Before boarding the Mugen Train, Yakumo meets Kamado Tanjiro, who was praised by Rengoku Kyojuro, as well as Inosuke and Zenitsu.

Tanjiro Kamado stared at Yakumo with longing. A kind of extremely warm energy emanated from him, like a gentle breeze blowing on a sunny afternoon, warm and gentle... radiant with sunlight.

"Oh my gosh, I challenge you!"

Inosuke jumped out and challenged Yakumo.

Through the boar mask, his eyes were filled with fighting spirit.

"This child likes to challenge the strong."

Kyojuro Rengoku scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, after all, Inosuke's behavior... seemed a bit impolite.

Yakumo immediately remembered... that child who was raised by wild boars.

"Come on, let's arm wrestle."

Three minutes later.

Inosuke squatted on the ground, feeling somewhat defeated and questioning the meaning of life.

On the other hand, the members of the Demon Slayer Corps responsible for logistics have already delivered five tickets to the Mugen Train to Kyojuro Rengoku.

The moment Yakumo received the ticket.

A prompt from the game system appeared.

[Hint: Player's Intelligence attribute has been successfully determined.]

[Successfully immune to this psychological attack.]

Yakumo looked down at the ticket, gradually expanding his sensory abilities.

The ticket still carried the scent of a ghost, but there were no evil spirits around.

The Infinite Train approached from afar and entered the platform, its enormous steam column rising into the sky like a milky white cloud.

A huge white pillar of light was left between heaven and earth, and the surrounding orange lights illuminated the train station as if it were daytime.

Yakumo frowned slightly; the air was thick with the smell of burning coal.

Inosuke gazed at the enormous creature before him with some curiosity. In all his years living in the mountains, he had never seen anything like it.

"Let's go, get on the bus."

One by one, the group boarded the train. For some unknown reason, Zenitsu showed a strong fear of Yakumo.

Everyone took their seats in turn; the seats were simple wooden chairs.

But as soon as he sat down, Yakumo noticed something strange: all the other passengers around him were fast asleep with their heads down.

Although it is nighttime, not everyone is asleep.

The Infinite Train started up with a tremendous roar.

The scenery on both sides began to recede, and even Rengoku Kyojuro fell into a deep sleep.

Yakumo reached out and waved his hand twice, but the other party did not react at all, as if entering eternal sleep.

As the Mugen Train departed the station, the scenery on both sides was plunged into deep darkness, like a dark forest hiding wild beasts.

Yakumo stood up and began to expand his range of perception.

Walking in the corridor of the Mugen Train.

The Nichirin sword slid out of its scabbard.

"The brave always face evil spirits alone."

Yakumo strode to the point where the two carriages were connected, broke through the iron wall of the carriage, and a gust of wind rushed in.

Use your legs to exert force.

It leaped high into the air and landed steadily on the top of the carriage.

Braving the wind and waves, Yakumo raced wildly toward the front of the car.

There are evil spirits in the direction of the Mugen Train's engine.

Nightmare was in a bad mood. There was a demon hunter who hadn't fallen asleep, and... that demon hunter had already discovered his true form.

He has not yet been able to fully integrate with the train.

"Ohayo, good evening."

Nightmare turned around and greeted them, while simultaneously using the mouth on her hand to activate her Blood Demon Art, an invisible wave surging towards Yakumo.

"Sleep! Sleep!"

Yakumo sensed the invisible attack and immediately dodged to the side.

"Sleep! Sleep! Sleep!"

The three impacts came in a triangular pattern, moving at extremely high speed.

Nightmare still wore a fake smile, his black hair falling in the air. He had abandoned the Assimilation Train and was now focusing all his efforts on killing this annoying demon hunter.

Yakumo stepped back slightly, allowing the attacks to hit his body.

The player's intelligence attribute has been determined.

[Successfully immune to this psychological attack!]

"As expected?"

The smile on Nightmare's face gradually faded.

"How could... it have failed?"

The surrounding wind became even faster. It could be said that Yakumo used his twin swords to manipulate the surrounding gale, achieving an instantaneous burst of speed.

This is... a fleeting moment.

The golden blade flashed instantly.

Nightmare... was beheaded directly. To prevent the enemy from dying incompletely, Yakumo continued to swing his sword with both hands, repeatedly slashing the enemy's body with his burning Nichirin Blade until it was reduced to ashes.

With a gust of wind, the nightmare vanished completely.

Congratulations to the player for defeating Lower Moon One, Enmusubi.

Congratulations, player! You have earned 1000 Conquest Points!

Let the fire of the sun extinguish all evil!

Yakumo stood on the front of the car, the wind howling.

The Nichirin sword slid back into its Glory Sword Sheath.

After slaying Nightmare, the two weapons became even more damaged, with the more severely damaged one nearly broken.

This is mainly thanks to Yakumo's hard work during this period.

Even if each cut only requires one stroke, there are still thousands of cuts.

After a while, led by Kyojuro Rengoku, Tanjiro Kamado, Zenitsu, and Inosuke arrived at the front of the carriage.

The four were confused, but they guessed what was going on.

Tanjiro, in particular, could smell the lingering demonic aura in the air. This aura had become incredibly faint, yet it was filled with the fear of impending death.

"Lower Moon One: Nightmare has been dealt with."

Before the others began to ask questions, Yakumo took the initiative to tell the four of them what had happened.

The group remained silent for a moment.

Especially the three little ones, after all, Rui, the Lower Moon Five, almost wiped them all out back then. If it weren't for the two Pillars coming to their aid at the critical moment, the three of them would probably have been wiped out. However, Enmu, who was much stronger than Rui, was dealt with in a very short time.

The difference is clear at a glance.

Kyojuro Rengoku was the first to react... and sighed.

"Yakumo, you are incredibly strong!"

Yakumo's expression, however, was somewhat solemn.

He gazed at the distant night sky, sensing three exceptionally powerful auras rapidly approaching within his maximum range of perception. Two of these auras were comparable to Douma's, while the last one was somewhat elusive.

"Two Upper Moon-level demons are on their way. I plan to meet them head-on and set up the battlefield on a nearby plain to avoid affecting the passengers on the Infinite Train."

Yakumo said after a moment's thought.

"Together!"

Kyojuro Rengoku did not hesitate.

"We want to go too..."

Tanjiro Kamado immediately spoke up, while Inosuke's agility was even more extraordinary; he had already jumped off the train and rolled several times on the ground before regaining his balance.

"Um...can I not go?"

Zenitsu's face flashed with panic, and he asked in a low voice.

"Let's do our best together, Zenitsu!"

Tanjiro Kamado did not answer Zenitsu's question. Instead, he reached out and grabbed Zenitsu's shoulder, and the two jumped down together, demonstrating his determination that even an Upper Moon was not enough to frighten Tanjiro Kamado.

brush.

Yakumo and Rengoku Kyojuro landed safely.
