Noticing the commotion on the roof, Tanjiro told Kyōjurō Rengoku, "Then I'll leave the rescue to you, Rengoku-san!"
With that, Tanjiro flipped out of the carriage window onto the roof, where he saw Inosuke running against the strong wind.
"Inosuke, wait for me!" Tanjiro shouted as he gave chase.
Catching up, Tanjiro asked, "Inosuke, have you found the demon's main body?"
Inosuke replied smugly, "Of course! I told you, I'm better than you!"
Inosuke believed he was superior to Tanjiro in every aspect. Hearing Tanjiro's question, he assumed Tanjiro hadn't found the demon's main body, thus proving his own superiority. This was the source of his smugness.
The entire train was filled with a strong demon scent, making it difficult for Tanjiro to pinpoint the demon's location. He needed to compare the scent differences in each carriage to make an accurate judgment.
The moving train, and the rapidly flowing air within the carriages at high speed, also affected Tanjiro's sense of smell.
Inosuke's spatial awareness, however, wasn't affected by air currents. Unless the space was extremely complex, his spatial awareness worked exceptionally well.
"It's up ahead! The front of this 'God of the Earth' is its weak point. Just destroy it!" Inosuke said.
"Is it in the locomotive?" Tanjiro wondered, considering the locomotive was inaccessible to most people; only the train driver would be there.
Tanjiro and Inosuke immediately moved from the roof to the locomotive's combustion chamber. The entrance was sealed by a mass of tumors.
"This is it; it's highly suspicious inside," Inosuke said to Tanjiro.
Standing outside the combustion chamber, Tanjiro sensed an even stronger demon scent than at the rear of the train. The fact that the chamber was sealed by tumors was also highly suspicious.
The tumors, seemingly alive, transformed into countless demonic hands the moment Tanjiro and Inosuke appeared, reaching for them.
Tanjiro and Inosuke swung their blades, cutting down the approaching demonic hands.
"Water Breathing, First Form - Modified: Water Surface Slash!" Faced with the dense swarm of demonic hands, Tanjiro used the modified First Form taught to him by Ryuji.
This was Tanjiro's first time using it in combat. The sheer number of demonic hands reminded him of the Hand Demon from Mount Fujikasane.
Ryuji had used the modified First Form, Water Surface Slash, against the Hand Demon's hands.
Therefore, Tanjiro emulated Ryuji's technique.
Tanjiro unleashed twelve strikes in a second, twenty-four in two seconds. With Inosuke's support, they quickly cleared away the demonic hands.
"Inosuke, break down the door!" Tanjiro instructed.
