This was evident from the tumors sprouting from the carriage seats. Ryuji knew he had to find a way to wake Tanjiro and the others; he couldn't handle the situation alone.
Judging by the speed at which the tumors were consuming people, Ryuji could see that Lower Rank One couldn't devour everyone on the train instantly.
However, Ryuji also knew he couldn't possibly protect every carriage by himself. To save everyone on the train, he had to wake Tanjiro and the others.
Even waking just a couple would help him manage the situation. If Kyōjurō Rengoku, the Flame Hashira, could wake up, that would be ideal.
Ryuji deactivated his Demon Slayer Mark and began using Breath of the Forest.
He drew his Nichirin Blade, pressing the tip into the wooden floor of the carriage, and unleashed Forest Infiltration.
"Breath of the Forest, First Style: Forest Infiltration!"
With his Breath of the Forest at the ultimate level, his Forest Infiltration was incomparable to what it had been before. The amount of forest energy he generated was now five times greater.
A faint green glow emanated from the green portion of his Nichirin Blade's blade, and a substantial amount of forest energy steamed from his body and the blade itself.
This forest energy, channeled through the Nichirin Blade embedded in the floor, rapidly spread throughout the carriage. The tumors consuming people began to shrink, decay, and finally turn to ash at a visible rate, the same happening to the tumors on Tanjiro and the others.
Having temporarily controlled the situation in this carriage, Ryuji turned to Nezuko, who was in her box made of Japanese cedar, and asked, "Nezuko, quickly come out and help me wake your brother!"
Nezuko, hearing Ryuji's call, immediately burst out of the box.
She immediately began shaking Tanjiro. However, no matter how hard she shook him, he remained unresponsive.
Suddenly, Nezuko headbutted Tanjiro's forehead. Her forehead broke open, and blood dripped onto Tanjiro's face.
The next second, Tanjiro awoke with a start and looked around.
"Tanjiro, wake up and go help in the other carriages! We're dealing with Lower Rank One. He's merged with the train and is consuming everyone!" Ryuji instructed urgently.
Without asking questions, Tanjiro nodded firmly. "Understood!"
He immediately rushed to the other carriages to begin rescuing people.
Having escaped the dream, Tanjiro understood he'd been affected by the demon's Blood Demon Art. But this wasn't the time to discuss it with Ryuji. Ryuji's urgent tone indicated the situation was dire.
"Nezuko, stay here and protect Zenitsu and the others. Try to wake them up," Ryuji instructed Nezuko.
Nezuko nodded and began waking others using her own methods.
Ryuji then rushed to the other carriages to begin the rescue effort.
