In that instant, the line of opening appeared in Takeshi's eyes, the opportunity had come.
His body quickly fell, and the line of opening connected to the sword was also pulling him downwards.
Total Concentration! Light Breathing, Second Form: Light Explosion.
Whoosh—
Bang—
Takeshi landed on the ground, half-squatting, the sword in his hand stuck in the ground, supporting his body.
The spider body was exploded by the Second Form, torn to pieces, only the head was intact, but it was useless, death had still come to him.
"I was cut? I was cut?! Unforgivable! Ah, unforgivable! No..."
In his shouts, his head began to turn to ashes little by little from the position of his neck, and his spider minions lost their ability to attack.
Ding! Host has slain a spider demon. The system rewards you with +20 to enhanced blade sharpness and randomly gifts you with one Stealth Talisman.
The Stealth Talisman, when stuck to the body, can hide a person's aura and traces of existence, it's a concept similar to Yushiro's Blood Demon Art.
Zenitsu Agatsuma fell to the ground, poison spots appearing on his face, the poison already spreading throughout his body, causing him to completely lose his ability to move.
Takeshi walked forward, squatting in front of Zenitsu, his eyes quietly watching him. He hadn't fainted from fear yet, which was already a great effort.
"Senior Aoyama... Did, did I do it...?"
Takeshi reached out his hand, covering Zenitsu's hand, his face serious. "Zenitsu, you did great! You've been doing well since just now."
Zenitsu chuckled, finally being affirmed once, his grandfather would be gratified if he knew! All along, it had been his grandfather teaching him, not abandoning him, constantly encouraging him...
"Cough cough, I, I seem to be, no... no, I can't do it anymore..."
"Don't rush to give up, use your breathing technique to slow down the flow of poison in your body, someone will come to save you!
Hold on." Takeshi turned his head, looking around, seeing if anyone had already arrived.
Such a big thing had happened on Natagumo Mountain, so many people had died, the Demon Slayer Corps should have sent high-ranking people over to support them.
If he wasn't wrong, the people coming would be the Water Hashira, Giyu Tomioka; and the Insect Hashira, Shinobu Kocho.
But Takeshi himself couldn't say for sure when they would arrive.
In another forest, Tanjiro and Inosuke were in a fierce battle with the Demon Mother.
They had found the person controlling the threads, but they couldn't get close. Each of the members being controlled by the threads was trying to kill them, each strike aiming for their vitals.
Tanjiro and Inosuke could only try their best to dodge without harming them.
The Demon Slayer Corps' rules stated that they couldn't kill each other, nor could they raise their swords to destroy the corpses of members.
And among these people being controlled, Tanjiro discovered that some of them were alive, they were just being controlled, their bodies unable to be changed by themselves.
"Inosuke! Be careful, there are still living people among them!"
"Troublesome, troublesome! Not being able to fight back is really troublesome!" The hot-tempered Inosuke shouted, but he still listened to Tanjiro's words, not using his sword.
Thread after thread, pulling their bodies, attacking them again and again.
While dodging the attacks, Tanjiro thought of a way to deal with it. He couldn't let himself get impatient.
This mountain was really too eerie, Senior Aoyama's whereabouts were unknown, and...
For a moment he was distracted, and a bright sword almost hit Tanjiro's shoulder, fortunately, Inosuke had quick eyes and hands, kicking the person away.
"Hey! Do you want to die? Not dodging?" A roar.
Tanjiro's face showed apology. "Sorry! I, spaced out..."
When he started thinking about things, his movements slowed down. Tanjiro shook his head hard, suppressing the messy thoughts in his head.
Regarding Senior Aoyama, he would definitely be fine!
His eyes fell on the tree branches, and Tanjiro thought of a way.
Putting away the sword in his hand, while dodging the attacks, he rushed forward, grabbing the member's waist, throwing the person towards the tree branch, using the threads connected to their bodies to hang them up, that would do it.
Seeing Tanjiro do this, Inosuke's competitive spirit was suddenly aroused, imitating him, hanging people one by one on the tree branches.
He put his hands on his hips, laughing loudly. "Haha, did you see! I can do it too! I hung up more people than you!"
Tanjiro's expression stiffened slightly. What kind of time was this, and he was still thinking about competing? But anyway, it was good that things had been resolved.
"Always unable to do even small things well."
A cold voice appeared in the forest.
Rui, as always, was standing on the threads connecting the trees, looking at his mother below with a blank expression, repeating, "Mother really can't do even small things well."
"Ah? Mother?!" Tanjiro's face showed shock. The demons in this mountain weren't independent, they were a family?
The Demon Mother, with white hair draped behind her, a fearful expression on her face, shaking her head, saying, "No, no, Rui, I can do it, I can make them all die, just wait a little longer, it'll be done soon!"
Her voice carried panic and dismay, and even more fear and dread.
Tanjiro's eyes wandered between the mother and son. Was this the atmosphere a mother and son should have?
Even if they were demons, would a mother be scared like this by her child's words?
It was abnormal, there were unreasonable factors here.
"Don't force it. If you can, then get it done quickly."
Rui said slowly, turning to leave, he had something else to do now.
