Demon Slayer: My breathing technique went awry after Nezuko pushed me down.

Anyway, I don't like muscular women.

I really don't have any interest in pasting pictures of "muscle Barbie" or anything like that.

But be careful, the handball ghost is another story.

We absolutely cannot let Tanjiro kill the Arrow Demon as well.

What if such a wonderful Blood Demon Art were lost?

He'd be furious.

but......

As it turns out, he was overthinking it.

Tanjiro faced the Arrow Demon, especially the Arrow Demon that had been strengthened by Muzan and was in a state of great rage.

There was basically no chance of fighting back.

In the original series, Arrow Demon's "Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart" attack, released before his death, was used as a basic attack by the man in his berserk state.

Tanjiro, who was being pulled and flung around in the air, could only use techniques to deflect the force and prevent himself from being smashed to death against a wall or the ground.

Can't do anything.

In just a short while.

He was flying through the air so fast his brain was practically spinning.

"Senior brother!!! Ten minutes are up, right?! I really can't do this! Ugh~~~"

Looking at the brownish-yellow vomit that Tanjiro spewed out in the air, drifting in the wind, Shirakawa Yu looked disgusted.

But... there was also a sense of relief.

She's not blindly confident, and even when she can't win, she knows to call for help from her senior. That's a good kid!

Just then, a notification sound rang in Bai Chuanyu's mind.

[Resolution: 99%...100%!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host! The resolution for the target 'Nezuko Kamado (Demon)' has reached 100%!]

[Unlock Tier 4 Rewards: One Blood Demon Art Devouring Opportunity!]

Please select a target to consume...

Shirakawa Ha's eyes flashed with a sharp light!

at last!

The opportunity that led me to act like a human being!

finally come!

He gently pulled his finger out of Nezuko's mouth with a "pop" (Nezuko made a "hmm" sound of dissatisfaction).

He patted her little head, then got up and looked outside.

"You've worked hard, Tanjiro!"

Shirakawa Yu's voice rang out, steady and with a hint of gentleness, "The rest... leave it to me."

Behind her, Miss Tamayo's eyes lit up slightly.

She was extremely curious about Shirakawa Yu's strength.

Outside, Tanjiro was still tumbling in the air when he heard this, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that he was about to fall to the ground again, this time, Tanjiro didn't even bother to cushion the fall.

It just slammed straight down like that.

He knew that since his senior brother had freed up his hands, he didn't need to exert himself.

And indeed, just a second before Tanjiro was about to make intimate contact with the ground, a pair of large hands suddenly appeared and gripped his shoulders tightly.

It brought him to a steady stop in the air, about twenty centimeters above the ground.

Then, Shirakawa Yu moved.

There was no build-up, no warning.

Tanjiro needs to deal with Arrow Demon before he can take to the air again.

"Breathing of Color - Third Form -"

His figure transformed into a pink streak of light, almost invisible to the naked eye, and pierced straight through the courtyard at a terrifying speed, heading straight for the still furious Arrow Demon!

"Dance through the flowers!"

A flash of light.

But... it was all cut off.

"Who do you think you're underestimating?! I'm one of the Twelve Ghost Months!!!"

The Arrow Demon roared with a ferocious expression, its two golden eyes in its palms opening and closing intermittently.

The one that's open is staring wide-eyed.

Chapter 45 Devouring, Crimson Arrow!

Twelve Ghost Months?

Upon hearing this, Shirakawa Yu was genuinely taken aback.

In his memory, neither the Handball Demon nor the Arrow Demon were among the Twelve Demon Months.

Could it be that because of him, Muzan not only increased their strength but also promoted them as well?!

Even though being distracted in battle is a major taboo, he couldn't help but look up at his opponent's eyes while being forced back by the Crimson Arrow.

Golden irises, arrow-shaped orange pupils...

There is no 'upper or lower crescent' representing the twelve ghost moons at all.

Damn it, you're nothing but a damn Twelve Ghost Month!

Just indulging in wishful thinking again!

In the series, the Arrow Demon and the Handball Demon proclaimed themselves as the Twelve Demon Moons. When they announced their identities, Tanjiro was terrified.

At that time, Tanjiro did not know that all twelve demon moons had obvious markings in their eyes.

The Twelve Demon Moons are the twelve most powerful demons under Muzan's command.

There are six upper and six lower strings.

The Upper Moon Six demons each have the character "上" (upper) carved in one eye and numbers representing their ranking, from one to six, carved in the other.

The Lower Moon Six Demons have their names 'Lower One' to 'Lower Six' engraved in the same eyeball.

At this moment, the arrow ghost had no idea of ​​these markings.

So, this time you didn't have a chance to speak in front of Tanjiro, so you wanted to show off in front of me to bolster your courage, right?

Without saying a word, Bai Chuanyu slightly shifted his footing on the lawn as he retreated, and in a change of direction, he slashed through the flowers again.

The close-range movement through the flowers was almost like teleportation; it appeared in front of the Arrow Demon almost at the same time it disappeared.

But this strike still missed.

An invisible force surged forth once more from in front of the Arrow Demon.

It felt like an impact, or perhaps a pull, that forced Shirakawa Yu back a few steps once more.

The blade was right in front of him, leaving a trail of pink light.

"That kind of direct attack! Who can you possibly hit?!"

Feeling the blade wind so close at hand.

Although Arrow Ghost was still shouting, his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

So close, so very close!

He still had time to react to the first strike, and he managed to deflect all the Crimson Arrows from Tanjiro's body, unleashing his full power directly in front of him.

She pushed the man away relatively easily.

But this second cut was too fast and too ruthless.

The crimson arrow released during the first defense hadn't even disappeared when the opponent's second strike came out.

If it weren't for the enhancement bestowed upon me by that lord before my departure, which increased the number of my Crimson Arrows, I definitely wouldn't have been able to withstand it!

To its left front, Shirakawa Yu's figure slowly emerged.

Despite missing his target twice in a row, Bai Chuanyu was not disappointed; on the contrary, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

I wasn't mistaken; this Crimson Arrow is indeed a powerful ability!

First, there's the aspect of concealment.

Not only Tanjiro can't see, but I can't see either.

He could clearly feel the ground beneath his feet moving backward like a treadmill during both attacks, and an invisible force in the air pulling him backward.

But these obvious forces do not exist in his eyes.

I just asked Tamayo and Nezuko, and they also couldn't see the invisible Crimson Arrow.

In other words, aside from demons like Yushiro who possess blood demon arts such as vision manipulation.

Others can basically only rely on their senses to deal with the Crimson Arrow.

This is wonderful!

Secondly, there's the aspect of functionality.

Just now, Arrow Demon clearly couldn't keep up with my speed in that one strike.

However, she was still able to pull herself back half a meter by releasing a large number of Crimson Arrows from the front.

The distance they seemed to be pulling at each other was actually due to the difference in strength between the human and the ghost.
