From Hunter x Hunter to Supreme Will

Tears flowed from the ghost's eyes. He looked at Long's figure and said in an inaudible voice, "Thank you."

"Cough cough cough..."

Long coughed violently, and the palm of his hand that covered his mouth was stained with a little bright red.

Damn it...

Although I just wanted to give it a try and used the minimum amount of strength, the damage to my body was still considerable.

"Hehe... But it's exactly what I thought... I can achieve the same effect without the Sun Blade. Coming from a higher world, my use of power is beyond common sense... The more powerful the world, the purer the level and nature of power that can be touched. In a lower world... in a limited power environment, it is not too difficult to achieve the effect of breaking the 'setting'."

Hazy smiled.

Then there was another coughing fit.

He was too familiar with the soul.

As for the so-called breath of the soul, he just named it randomly to suit the occasion.

To put it simply, it is the display and change of a kind of power.

Chapter 272 A Visitor Arrives

When a wolf goes to a tiger's territory, it naturally has to obey the tiger's rules.

But when a tiger enters the wolf's territory, there is no need for it to follow the wolf's orders.

This is the case when comparing the power systems of the two worlds of Hunter x Hunter and Demon Slayer.

This is also the suppression of low-level power by high-level power.

Although Long cannot destroy the rules of this world, it is easy for him to reverse the balance within the limited rules.

In Demon Slayer, there is a power system called 'soul'. Almost all demons will recall their past lives after being killed, and a revolving door will appear... This is also true for the story of the prostitute Taro and his sister Mei going to hell after their death.

Even more iconic is the death of the Upper Three Moons, Akaza.

In fact, many ghosts eventually die because of "suicide".

The soul destroys itself.

The body and the soul are closely related.

If the soul, that is, the will, does not fluctuate, with the regeneration ability of the demon, it cannot be killed without the Nichirin Sword. The stronger the demon, the more terrifying its self-healing ability is, and the more difficult it is to kill. Although Halo's soul has been reduced and no longer has the professional ability in this area, his experience and feelings are still there. With the existing soul power alone, it is still an unimaginable level in the world of Demon Slayer.

Willpower…is also part of building a full-time strength system.

No matter how things change, they remain unchanged.

By attacking and inflicting trauma or change on the soul, you can kill the ghost.

But only he can do it.

The swordsmen of this world, including Yoriichi Tsugakuni, are probably unable to touch the hidden setting of "soul".

The soul methods he used... could make ghosts die in endless pain, or make them fall in "happiness".

This attempt further proved Long's thoughts and guesses.

To the lower world, he... is just a person full of bugs.

Many impossible things can be done.

"grown ups…"

A maid came to her senses, ran over in panic, and saw the blood on Long's hands and screamed in surprise.

"No problem... Let's go."

Long waved his hand and slowly sheathed the knife.

After just one swing of the knife, the muscles in his arms ached greatly.

The other surviving maid picked up the fallen haori and put it on Oboro. The three of them abandoned the sedan chair and continued on their way along the blood-stained mountain road, braving the wind and snow.

The two maids were terribly frightened, but to Long, it was not even a small episode.

Before leaving, Long glanced at the dark house in the distance...there were survivors inside.

After the two maids, one on each side supporting Long, disappeared into the snow, a strange noise came from the room where the candlelight had just been lit.

Immediately afterwards, a man dressed in the uniform of the Demon Slayer Corps walked out, covered in wounds, and stared at the direction where Oboro disappeared, his eyes out of focus.

He saw...

The man used an ordinary samurai sword to kill the demon.

Unbelievable!

How can this be…

He definitely wouldn't be wrong. As a B-rank member of the Demon Slayer Corps, he had extensive experience and a record of hunting demons... He could tell at a glance whether the sword was the Nichirin Sword or not.

Originally, he received a message from a crow saying that there were traces of ghosts on the mountain. Many people who passed by the mountain had died recently, so he came here on orders.

With his skills, he could have killed the ghost, but something unexpected happened. A group of fleeing refugees also encountered the attack.

The ghost threatened the lives of these ordinary people, restrained him, beat him, and imprisoned him in the house.

Instead of killing him immediately, they tortured him on purpose... and ate people alive in front of him.

Just then, there was a noise on the mountain road outside the door. Someone else came...

Then, the ghost starts hunting again.

But this time, he ran into a tough guy.

That kind of vampire magic that can make one invisible has no effect at all under the cover of darkness.

One knife... and he was killed.

The scene and the view when the knife flashed seemed simply... beautiful to him.

He didn't understand to what extent a person's breathing and swordsmanship had to be able to display such grace.

At least... he hadn't seen it.

"It can't be a trainer, nor a member of the Demon Slayer Corps... I have never felt that kind of breath before..."

"His face is pale, as if he is seriously ill, with long black curly hair...ah, the most eye-catching thing is that thick and wide black haori, as if he has a prominent social status..." Liu Yuan, who is less than 20 years old, muttered to himself. After he came to his senses, he clapped his fists in annoyance.

"You should thank them."

At least, the other party saved my life.

"Notify the lord first."

……

The next day, after a long journey, Long and the other two finally arrived at the town at the foot of Mount Kumoto.

During this time, Oboro realized that the surviving Demon Slayer swordsman wanted to catch up with them, and he couldn't get rid of him with his length and speed, so he led the two maids to change their route.

In addition, heavy snow had been falling, which quickly wiped out the footprints on the ground, so there was no communication between the two sides.

After a brief rest at the inn in the town, Long went up the mountain to meet Kamado Tanpei.

I don't know how many generations of descendant of Kamado Tankichi this Kamado Tanpei is.

The town is not big, and you can find out where to get Zaomen Tanping by asking around.

Every once in a while, Tanpei Kamado would go down the mountain to sell charcoal, just like Tanjiro in the original work, and he was well-known among the local people.

It’s just that Long came at an unfortunate time. A few days ago, Tanpei Kamado had just gone down the mountain to sell some charcoal, so... he won’t be coming again in the short term.

The town at this time was not as clean and tidy as it would be a hundred years later, and there were not as many people... But in the current chaotic world, its unique geographical location made it a quiet place like a paradise.

At least it won't be frequently affected by wars.

At noon, the sky was clear.

The thick layer of snow on the mountain has covered the road, but traces of people's footsteps can still be seen.

The mountain doesn't look big from the town, but in fact, the slope is quite steep, and the environment makes it very difficult to walk. Even ordinary people can hardly climb without stopping. There are some scattered hunters living at the foot of the mountain. After seeing Long and the other two, they were all surprised, especially Long's dress, which is rare for people in such a small place.

An elderly man was kind enough to talk to me and pointed out that it was somewhat dangerous to go up the mountain at this time.

After learning that Long was looking for Tanpei Kamado, he enthusiastically led him for a while and pointed in the direction.

In the anime, Tanjiro walked on the mountain road as easily as if it were flat ground, but after walking like this, Oboro was panting and almost couldn't breathe, and his head was swollen.

My body is still too weak...

We need to hurry up with the blood matter.

But Long looked down upon the blood of ordinary ghosts.

The lower string is meaningless, the upper string is barely good enough.

After a long time, it was almost dusk when Long finally saw a small house standing in an open space in the woods.

Arrived.

Not far away, a little boy wearing a kimono stuffed with cotton wool was chopping dry wood with great effort with a small axe in his hand. His face was rosy and he looked about seven or eight years old.

There are patches sewn on her clothes, and she has a pair of innocent and simple big eyes, which are dark, bright and watery... She looks very cute.

He wore straw sandals, but the cotton cloth wrapped around his calves was very thick.

Hot air kept coming out of his mouth.

Hearing the noise, he stopped and looked over blankly.

"Ah...hello."

Seeing the stranger, the little boy was not at all panicked. Instead, he threw down the axe and bowed politely to the man in front of him.

"What's your name?"

Long covered his mouth with a white handkerchief, coughed, and asked in a gentle tone.

"Tanjiro, my name is Tanjiro Kamado."

The boy raised his head, not at all stage frightened.
