I, the spiritual mentor of beautiful girls from all over the world

"My Blood Demon Art can make people slowly devour me while they are in the most blissful illusion. You should feel honored!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was preparing to activate the Blood Demon Art.

But at this moment.

Shinobu Kocho has moved.

She didn't say anything at the beginning, nor did she make any unnecessary movements.

She simply drifted down gently from the treetop.

Its posture was so light it seemed inhuman, like a weightless, purple butterfly.

But just as her feet touched the ground...

"Om-"

A terrifying aura, cold, vicious, and full of destructive power, which was completely opposite to her gentle appearance, suddenly erupted from her petite body!

Centered on her, a strange layer of black frost with dark purple patterns instantly condensed on the surrounding grass!

The air temperature seemed to plummet to freezing point at that moment!

The sinister smile on Bingye's face froze instantly.

His scarlet vertical pupils suddenly contracted in disbelief!

What…what is this?!

This aura... is cold, pure, and filled with the most vicious curse upon life!

This is not the kind of aura that those Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen who only know how to shout slogans and get carried away with their passion should have!

Something is wrong with this guy!

The thought flashed wildly through his mind!

"【Breath of Karmic Poison】..."

A cold, emotionless voice softly escaped from Shinobu Kocho's mouth.

Memories flooded back like a tide.

Inside the safe house, the man's calm voice echoed in her mind.

"Anger is the fuel that drives you to wield your knife, not the smoke that blinds you."

"Calmness is the only engine that allows you to accurately hit the enemy's vitals."

"Forget those flashy but impractical sword techniques. The essence of combat is the most efficient exchange of energy. Achieve the greatest results with the least cost."

"Now, let's begin our first lesson—'On the Biological Structure and Nerve Vital Points of Evil Spirits'."

My sister's gentle smile, and Doma's repulsive face...

Endless hatred and anger, like magma, burned and churned wildly in her heart!

But this fuel, which was enough to burn away reason, was now perfectly controlled by a sophisticated engine called "calmness," and transformed into the purest power to drive her body!

Her mind was calmer than ever before.

So calmly, she could even clearly see that the Lower Moon demon in front of her was so shocked that his muscles stiffened for 0.3 seconds.

She could calculate that the ligaments in his left knee were the weakest point in his defense at that moment.

She could predict that his instinctive defensive action would be to raise his left arm to block.

All of this, like a series of pre-written programs, clearly appeared in her mind.

So this is what the "teacher" meant by... a dimensional reduction attack.

"laugh--!"

Shinobu Kocho's figure vanished from the spot in an instant!

A sharp, piercing sound tore through the air!

Her figure moved as fast as a purple phantom, and the Nichirin Blade in her hand transformed into a poisonous bee stinger refined to the extreme, with a visible, ominous dark purple vortex wrapped around its tip!

too fast!

This is not a speed that humans should have!

The pupils of the diseased leaf shrank to the size of pinpoints due to extreme fear!

He tried to dodge and block, but his body couldn't keep up with his brain's reaction at all!

He could only watch helplessly as the purple lightning bolt approached him from an incredibly tricky angle that he couldn't comprehend at all!

"Pfft!"

A dull thud, like a sharp blade piercing flesh.

Shinobu Kocho's Nichirin Blade neither pierced his neck nor his heart.

Instead, it flashed past him with incredible precision, passing through the gap in the joint of his left knee!

"Uhhhhhhhh-!"

Bingye let out a shrill scream and, without her control, fell to her knees on one knee!

Severe pain!

An indescribable, excruciating pain, as if freezing his very bones, surged wildly from his left leg!

He looked down and saw that no blood was flowing from the place where he had been stabbed.

Instead, centered on the wound, a strange black "frost" was spreading wildly at a visible speed, completely destroying and decomposing his flesh and bones from the inside!

"You...you guy!"

Bingye was both shocked and furious. He suddenly raised his head, his ferocious face filled with madness!

"Blood Demon Art: Corruption Illusion Domain!"

He slammed his hand on the ground, and an invisible force with strange fluctuations instantly spread outwards from him in all directions!

This is his signature skill!

It can stir up the deepest obsessions in the enemy's heart, causing them to fall into the most beautiful illusion, and in the sinking into happiness, be killed by him without any resistance!

Many powerful swordsmen have died from this move!

however……

Shinobu Kocho simply stood quietly not far away, her cold purple eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.

Hallucination?

In her world, apart from the safe house where the "teacher" lived, there was only an endless hell called "revenge".

Any false happiness seemed laughable and powerless in the face of her heart, which was already filled with hatred.

Seeing that his Blood Demon Art was completely ineffective, for the first time, a feeling called "fear" welled up in Byakuya's heart!

This is impossible!

What kind of monster is this woman?!

Why is my Blood Demon Art ineffective against her?!

Her eyes...why...why were they colder than a ghost's?!

"Who...who are you?! You're definitely not an ordinary swordsman! Are you a 'Pillar'?!"

He roared and endured the excruciating pain, using his remaining right leg to forcefully retreat and create distance.

However, in Shinobu's eyes, his movements were as clear as a slow-motion replay.

The teacher's voice echoed in her mind once again.

"By damaging its lower limb joints and restricting its mobility, the enemy's attack patterns will be greatly simplified."

"There is a 97.3% chance that his next move will be to use his upper limbs to launch a long-range or wide-area attack to force you back."

"And this is your opportunity."

Everything unfolded precisely, just like a script.

As Bingye retreated, she suddenly spread her arms wide, and dozens of sharp bone spurs formed from congealed blood shot out like a torrential rain towards Shinobu Kocho!

"go to hell!!"

However, they were faced with an attack powerful enough to riddle steel with bullets.

Shinobu Kocho's figure disappeared once again.

【Breath of Karmic Poison - Second Form - Ghost Step】

Her steps were light, fleeting, and completely unpredictable.

Each step landed precisely in the gaps between the bone spikes.

Her body, in an almost artistic and extremely efficient manner, strolled leisurely through the impenetrable rain of bone spurs.

That feeling didn't feel like a battle.

It was more like an elegant yet deadly dance of death.

The diseased leaf left him completely dumbfounded.

His mind was no longer able to comprehend what was happening before his eyes.

why?

Why do all my attacks seem to hit thin air?

How did she do it?

Her ghostly gait, her terrifyingly accurate predictions…

This is not a fight at all!

This is... a one-sided farce!

It's an absolute, crushing... dimensional reduction attack!

For the first time, he experienced the deep-seated, helpless despair that prey feels when facing its hunter.

"You...don't come over!"

He let out a terrified, distorted scream, and frantically crawled backward on the ground, his posture extremely pathetic.

However, in Shinobu's eyes, there was still that absolute zero coldness.

So this is what the "teacher" meant by... God's perspective.

Discard all unnecessary emotions, digitize all of the enemy's actions, and use the calmest mind to calculate the optimal solution.

So, fighting... can be this easy.

So...efficient.

She no longer hesitated.

At this moment, the anger and hatred within her were completely compressed and condensed, and poured into the tip of the knife in her hand!

A destructive energy, more terrifying and chilling than ever before, was gathering wildly at the tip of her blade!

"ended."

She announced softly.

【Breath of Karmic Poison - Fifth Form - Centipede】

Her figure transformed into an elusive, exquisite purple streak of light!

"Puff puff puff puff puff puff—!"

A series of muffled thuds, so dense they were almost a single sound, suddenly rang out!

The diseased leaf's body suddenly stiffened.

He looked down in disbelief.

He saw his chest, abdomen, limbs... dozens of different vital parts of his body being pierced through with unparalleled precision by the poisoned blade tip at the same time!

That’s too fast!
