My avatar is the heroine

Well, putting aside the damage, the speed of the punch alone is definitely beyond most people's imagination.

After all, Yukino's body is so petite, weighing less than 100 pounds. If she were not a master, her full-force attack would only be captured by a camera.

"Get ready to begin. I want to see what makes you so strong and what makes you qualified to be the 10th pillar."

He gritted his teeth and suddenly charged forward at an incredible speed.

As he brandished his Nichirin Blade, Sanemi's expression suddenly changed.

Ding!

His hand went numb, and before he could even swing his sword, Yukino's weapon had already struck his blade, followed by a powerful force that forced him back several meters.

"Is that all? I didn't even use much strength," Yukino snorted.

"So fast!" Tanjiro exclaimed, his eyes widening in surprise.

Is this the Snow Pillar's strength?

During this time, the entire Demon Slayer Corps knew about the appointment of the new Pillar. Unlike other members, Su Lin's membership was not obtained through an examination, and his merits were almost the greatest in the Demon Slayer Corps.

No one else, including the original nine pillars, could actually eliminate four Upper Moons in such a short period of time.

If we ignore the rankings and only look at the numbers, then Muzan has already destroyed most of his high-end combat power.

Sanemi steadied herself, her jaw trembling with numbness. The power she had just displayed was simply not that of a girl… no, it was simply not that of a human. Did the girl before her harbor an elephant within her?

How would such a physique compare to Love Pillar's? After all, that infatuated girl's muscle density is eight times that of an average person.

"strong?"

A fierce expression appeared on Sanemi's face.

"So what if you're strong?"

With another strike, it was as if he had unleashed his potential, his sword-wielding speed suddenly increasing.

Then... despite being far weaker than Yukino, this guy managed to withstand her attack.

The two sides clashed weapons, and then each took a half step back.

"Tch, I won't use a killing move like you do right away. If you're planning to kill, then you're the one who'll die." Yukino sensed the danger and her tone instantly turned cold.

"What did you say... What kind of pillar are you if you're afraid of dying? Go home and wet your pants!"

With her third strike, Yukino paid a little more attention to her technique, making her footwork much more stable, which increased the pressure on her opponent once again.

Real danger!

Rather, it's more accurate to say that only Shizugawa truly felt like he was about to die.

Yukino's stamina is genuine. In the previous exchanges, he had actually used techniques to redirect Yukino's force in other directions, but even so, he still felt the terrifying power of the storm.

After several collisions, his arm was almost numb. At that moment, Yukino bent over slightly, her body twisting at an extremely contorted angle to his right, and then slashed at his waist with her sword.

Sanemi knew that he couldn't dodge this attack, because although Yukino's movements weren't that incredibly fast, her sword swings were truly swift. A normal person could only see a blur, and only he... a Pillar with extensive combat experience, could barely see the attack.

At the critical moment, he didn't even have time to dodge, and swung his weapon toward Yukino's neck in the hope of forcing her back.

However, the sword, which should have struck his waist, stopped abruptly at the last moment and was withdrawn. Yukino's other hand struck from his blind spot, slamming into his stomach.

"Pfft~~"

Sanemi's body flew backward and then crashed heavily to the ground.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to cut you just now." Yukino's tone was sarcastic.

Sanemi felt his dignity had been insulted.

Her opponent moved with ease, and in the brief exchange of ten seconds or so, she had numerous opportunities to kill him. The flaws she revealed seemed almost deliberately exposed.

Enduring the pain in her stomach, Sanemi stood up from the ground and fell silent as she looked at the black-haired girl standing there in a dress.

We cannot find any weaknesses.

Or rather, it's all weaknesses.

The opponent's fighting style is the kind that adapts to changing circumstances; they can always anticipate your moves and find a way to counter them in time.

It can be said that only an old immortal who has fought countless battles could accomplish this.

"Your combat experience..."

Just as Sanemi was about to ask a question, Yukino rushed forward again.

"puff!"

The second punch.

His opponent first dodged his attack, then struck his left waist from a tricky and unpredictable angle.

"After being abused a lot, you might get used to it."

Yukino flashed a set of pearly white teeth, and then floated lightly to Sanemi, who had just landed, and stepped on his stomach.

"You know what? If I use all my strength, your intestines will come out."

……

"too horrible."

Tanjiro could no longer keep a smile on his face. He had originally wanted to see an incredibly exciting battle and learn some Pillar techniques from it, but all he could see now was a one-sided thrashing.

Sanemi, who should be extremely strong normally, showed no signs of being a Pillar when facing Yukino.

"You... pfft~~"

Just as Sanemi was about to speak, he was kicked away again.

"Stand up and keep going! You can't keep this up. Go home and wet your pants!"

I'll return that sentence to you verbatim.

Sanemi gasped, feeling like he couldn't catch his breath.

Yukino's original plan was to beat him up as badly as Tanjiro is now.

It turned out that this guy was actually much tougher, and with Nightingale already online, it wouldn't matter if he went a little harder.

After all, given the characteristics of the Ark, even if someone only has a little blood left, as long as they are not dead, they can be rescued in time.

"Mr. Shinazugawa, don't worry, I will heal you if you are injured." Nightingale appeared in their line of sight, holding up her staff.

Tanjiro, Inosuke, and the others who had just arrived at the scene after hearing the news were stunned when they saw Sanemi being tortured.

"How awful, how awful, just like a dead pig," Inosuke blurted out.

"Shut up." Sanemi waved his hand, and the weapon flew directly towards the pig-headed man.

But just as it was about to strike, a soft arm reached out and grabbed the knife from a distance.

X teleports into the scene.

"Your behavior is excessive." Artoria's voice carried a hint of anger.

At that moment, even Kurome couldn't catch the knife in time, and it was foreseeable that Inosuke would get a solid blow to the stomach.

---Dividing line---

P.S.: I've been incredibly busy during the Chinese New Year holiday, and I haven't had time to check for typos lately, emmm... I hope the problem isn't too serious.

Chapter 174 Everyone's Watch

"You... appeared out of nowhere?"

When X's figure suddenly appeared in front of him, Sanemi's expression showed a hint of shock.

He then recalled that Shinobu Kocho seemed to have mentioned this point at the Pillar-level meeting. These girls connected to Su Lin didn't exist for long each day; they could appear or disappear at any time. And this disappearance, according to Su Lin, became conceptualization, meaning they were completely cut off from this world.

Of course, Sanemi didn't bother with conceptualizing such things.

In his view, such mysterious and enigmatic matters were completely meaningless.

All he knew was that the guy in front of him was extremely strong.

Because of the unique nature of this battle, Su Lin's true form also arrived nearby. Even if it were Upper Moon One or Muzan, let alone the Wind Pillar, X could ensure his true form wouldn't be injured.

My forging skills are now close to intermediate level. My level 8 Ghost-Killing skill has reached 15. The higher I go, the more difficult it becomes. There is even a chance of failure that reduces the level by 1. I don't know how long it took to reach +15.

And 16... This number is right in front of me, but for some reason, I just can't seem to get it up.

"Why did I suddenly think of playing with toxic milk powder in my past life?"

The legendary amplification is something that most players with a bit of money would consider very good if they could amplify their gear to +12 or +13. +14 and +15 are for the super-rich.

Especially at level 15, it's possible to relentlessly grind for days without ever reaching the top, while real money just flows out like water.

Looking back, the old version 60 is completely different from now. The stats were relatively reasonable, and gold wasn't devalued as much. But now...

"Damn, why am I thinking about these things?" The main body, who was observing the battle, shook its head.

Fortunately, due to the differences in their bodies, the different brains can think about different problems at the same time, so that the battle on the field is not affected.

The current forging process doesn't offer the same dramatic boosts as in the game, but Yukino is starting to feel this discomfort. Furthermore, with each point of attribute enhancement, the increase in effect also increases.

I wonder if there will be a situation in the future where an upgrade can drop to 0 after just one attempt. I don't believe the system is that corrupt.

The battle is pointless to watch. The Wind Pillar is actually very strong, but with Mashiro's visual assistance, Yukino is practically a bug. Besides, he wouldn't stoop so low as to use that oil-based tactic on Manabu; if he did, Yukino would probably be burned to a crisp.

This means the guy in front of me isn't as bad as I thought. Besides, his ultimate moves are useless anyway.

However, if a real fight breaks out, Sanemi might be killed by Yukino at close range before he can unleash his killing move.

With the final kick, Sanemi, who was completely crushed to the ground and unable to even crawl, looked up at Yukino's fair and delicate face, unable to even catch his breath.

However… despite the skirt facing him, there's actually no beautiful view to be seen because of the safety shorts. Otherwise, how could Yukino dare to fight so openly?

Even if Sanemi did not have that kind of feeling, it would be impossible for him to do so.

If it were Zenitsu, it would be hard to say. He might have clung to Yukino's leg and begged her to marry him, only to be kicked out of sight and die.

"you lose."

Yukino withdrew her leg, then turned to look at Zenitsu, who was filled with envy.

"Why wasn't I the one who got hit?"

His words caused Inosuke, who was standing next to him, to look at him as if he were an idiot.

I don't know if it's intentional, but many anime have similar characters. My Hero Academia had Grape, and Demon Slayer had Zenitsu. However, compared to Grape, Zenitsu is not as annoying.

She put away her weapon, tilted her head towards Tanjiro, and upon seeing his face, Yukino couldn't help but laugh: "Now it's you who looks worse."

One was only physically injured, while the other had a bruised and swollen face.

The most attention-grabbing element for those present was X, who appeared by teleportation and was rarely seen by ordinary people.

Although Su Lin didn't say it explicitly, everyone had a feeling that this girl was the strongest.

"I have to leave, otherwise I can't help but want to chop up Sabers, there are so many of you Sabers."

A bunch of Pillars wielding Nichirin Blades. If these guys became Servants, they'd most likely become swordsmen. If it weren't for Su Lin's strong control, he might have already charged forward with his weapons.

Killing a bunch of Sabers is incredibly satisfying.

"So what is Saber? Is it wrong for her to wield a sword?"

Shinobu Kocho, who had barely made it to the scene, muttered something and sensed the killing intent in the previous words.

That girl's style is different from that of people from this country; at least blonde hair is very rare... no, I've never seen it before.

……

This battle directly avoided one thing: the original conflict between Sanemi and Genya.

In the normal course of events, Genya's eyes were almost gouged out by Sanemi here, and he was forced to leave the Demon Slayer Corps. Of course, Tanjiro stopped him in time, so this didn't happen; they just ended up fighting.

But now there's the butterfly effect caused by Su Lin, and it's hard to say what will happen if that situation arises.

On the surface, everything she did was for her own purposes, but in reality, she invisibly averted potential or long-overdue disasters.

The Flame Pillar stood smiling not far away. He knew that if it weren't for these girls, he would never have been able to stay in this place. It could be said that Su Lin's addition had ensured the Demon Slayer Corps's continued strength. Otherwise, life would have inevitably faded away like a withered flower.

"My lord..."

The atmosphere suddenly became a bit stiff. Fengzhu, who could barely stand up, looked up and saw the lord standing behind several pillars.

His face wore his usual smile, seemingly unaffected by the situation; on the contrary, he appeared quite happy.
