Kazumi, still a little dazed, took the girl from Tanjiro's hands.
At this time, Ryuji said to Tanjiro, "Tanjiro, you're going to deal with this {demon} alone."
Tanjiro, hearing this, didn't understand Ryuji's intention. He asked, "Senior Ryuji, aren't you going to make a move?"
Ryuji smiled and answered, "If I make a move, you'll just be watching. Consider this your trial."
Tanjiro, having seen Ryuji's strength on Mount Fujikasane, knew how terrifying he was.
He couldn't grow if he was always under Ryuji's protection.
Understanding this, Tanjiro didn't say anything more. Instead, he focused his attention on the battlefield.
At this time, Tanjiro had no worries because he knew that as long as Ryuji was there, he wouldn't be in any danger.
To avoid interfering with Tanjiro, Kazumi quickly retreated to the side.
Tanjiro focused intently on the surroundings of the alley. He analyzed the characteristics of the {Water Demon} in his mind. Just as Tanjiro was getting impatient because he couldn't see the demon, he remembered his absolute advantage: his nose.
His absolute sensitivity to scents!
Immediately, Tanjiro began to track the {Water Demon}'s movements through its scent.
"It's coming! From behind!"
The next moment, Tanjiro took action. He turned around and attacked.
"Water Breathing, Fifth Form…"
Just as Tanjiro was about to draw his sword, three black water shadows suddenly appeared on the ground. Three {Water Demons} with the same appearance but different numbers of horns on their foreheads emerged from the ground.
"There are actually three!"
Tanjiro was very surprised. The attack he was about to unleash stopped abruptly. At this time, Tanjiro couldn't help but look at Ryuji, as if he was seeking help because of the change in the situation.
Seeing Tanjiro looking at him, Ryuji shook his head at him, indicating that he wouldn't make a move.
Seeing Ryuji's response, Tanjiro had to give up on asking for help. He bent his knees and kicked off the ground with all his might. Tanjiro leaped into the air.
"Calm down. Since Senior Ryuji isn't going to make a move, it means he can handle it." Tanjiro secretly told himself.
"Water Breathing, Eighth Form, Waterfall Basin!"
At this critical moment, Tanjiro changed his attack. He slashed with a Waterfall Basin, and a large amount of water rippled with the slash of his blade, splashing a lot of water.
The three {Water Demons} had their arms cut off by Water Breathing, Eighth Form, Waterfall Basin.
"Damn it! Because I changed my move midway, I didn't hit any of them in their vital points." Tanjiro was a little annoyed that he hadn't achieved a one-hit kill.
The severed arms fell to the ground and were immediately swallowed up by the black water that emerged from the ground. The three {Water Demons} also temporarily submerged into the black water.
"Two of these {demons} are clones created by the main body. Clones will greatly affect the {demon}'s individual strength. So, besides having a numerical advantage, they won't pose much of a threat to you." At this time, Ryuji said leisurely to Tanjiro.
"Clones? No wonder their scents are all the same." Tanjiro, after hearing Ryuji's words, was more certain of his previous guess.
"They're going for Mr. Kazumi!" Tanjiro sensed the {Water Demon}'s intense fluctuations in scent. He immediately shouted to Kazumi, "Mr. Kazumi, get out of the way!"
After speaking, Tanjiro also charged towards Kazumi, launching another attack.
"Water Breathing, Second Form, Water Wheel!"
