Looking at the child beside Chizuru Kawazu, Mitsuko's heart sank slightly.
The children here are all around 5 or 6 years old.
Then the fate of those children who grew up is obvious.
Mitsuko had completely shaken off his physical sluggishness, drew his Nichirin Blade, and pointed it at Chizuru Kawazu: "Looks like you're enjoying the process. You really have a twisted sense of humor!"
Chizuru Kawazu's eyes were filled with interest in Mitsuko: "You've already broken free? You're really capable. I hope you can also enjoy the pleasure of being prey."
"Blood Demon Art: Deceleration!"
A gray beam of light shot out from Chizuru Kawazu's palm and went straight toward Mitsuko's body.
Mitsuko rolled to the left to dodge, but the beam of light struck the weeds next to her.
The weeds hit by the beam of light swayed much more slowly in the breeze than the other weeds.
Mitsuko's eyes narrowed slightly.
Just as previously guessed, the demon in front of me is a supernatural being; it becomes incredibly sluggish when hit by a beam of light.
However, if it doesn't hit you, then the Blood Demon Art is useless.
Mitsuko closed in on Chizuru Kawazu, his Nichirin Blade slashing towards Chizuru Kawazu's body.
However, facing Mitsuko's attack, Chizuru Kawazu was not worried at all, and the smile on his face never disappeared.
"Blood Demon Art: Deceleration - Disperse!"
This time, the gray beam of light did not originate from Chizuru Kawazu's palm, but rather emanated from his body, spreading out in all directions over a wide area.
With nowhere to hide, Mitsuko was struck by the gray beam of light.
That feeling of sluggishness returned to my body.
Mitsuko tried hard to break free from this sluggish feeling.
Meanwhile, Chizuru Kawazu slowly approached Mitsuko.
Even though it was right in front of him, Mitsuko's Nichirin Blade just couldn't bring itself to strike.
"Don't worry, I will take your life in the gentlest way possible."
Chizuru Kawazu's fingertips brushed across Mitsuko's cheek, leaving a bloody mark beneath it.
With the remaining Mitsuko blood on his fingertips, Chizuru Kawazu put them in his mouth and sucked on them.
suddenly.
Chizuru Kawazu's expression changed drastically: "You're not some kind of Demon Slayer? You're a demon... no! The smell of blood is mixed with the smell of a human, what exactly are you?!"
Mitsuko had once again broken free from Chizuru Kawazu's Blood Demon Art, and his Nichirin Blade slashed straight at Chizuru Kawazu.
Chizuru Kawazu retreated rapidly, but was still wounded by Mitsuko's Nichirin Blade.
Chizuru Kawazu looked at Mitsuko in disbelief: "How did you break free from my Blood Demon Art so quickly?"
Having been hit by the Blood Demon Art twice, Mitsuko has almost figured out what Chizuru Kawazu's Blood Demon Art is all about.
It's a very simple principle.
cheat!
After the beam of light hit Mitsuko's body, his body was tricked and forced into a dormant state, unable to quickly accept the brain's instructions, thus causing sluggish physical movements.
And it's quite simple to break free from this Blood Demon Art.
That is to bring the body back to a state of wakefulness from its dormant state.
The simplest way is to use pain to wake up the dormant body.
Just now, Mitsuko bit her tongue and used the pain to dispel Chizuru Kawazu's Blood Demon Art.
A ball of blood appeared between Mitsuko's palms.
"Blood Demon Art: Cross-Shaped Blood Explosion!"
The blood sphere transformed into a cross shape and sped toward Chizuru Kawazu, before exploding violently.
The smoke and dust obscured Mitsuko's vision, making it impossible for him to know what was happening.
Blood Demon Art alone cannot kill a demon; the only way to kill a demon is to sever its head with a Nichirin Blade.
As the smoke cleared, Chizuru Kawazu's figure appeared.
At this moment, Chizuru Kawazu looked extremely disheveled, his kimono was tattered and torn, and he was completely different from his previous self, who was so confident and in control.
With a ferocious expression, Chizuru Kawazu cursed, "Damn it! I'll grind you to dust!"
"Blood Demon Art: Acceleration!"
Enraged, Chizuru Kawazu once again used the Blood Demon Art.
This Blood Demon Art did not produce a gray beam of light that hit Mitsuko and caused him to slow down, unlike the previous Blood Demon Art: Deceleration.
Instead, it acts directly on Chizuru Kawazu himself.
Chizuru Kawazu moved lightly and disappeared from Mitsuko's sight in an instant.
"Was that sluggishness before, and now it's acceleration...?"
Mitsuko gripped his Nichirin Blade tightly, standing ready for battle.
Chizuru Kawazu appeared suddenly behind Mitsuko like a demon.
Mitsuko immediately turned around and used his Nichirin Blade to slash at Chizuru Kawazu.
However, with incredible speed, Chizuru Kawazu pierced through Mitsuko's wrist with two fingers.
The Nichirin Blade fell from Mitsuko's palm to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, Chizuru Kawazu spread his five fingers, and under the moonlight, his sharp nails gleamed coldly as he viciously clawed at Mitsuko's head.
Mitsuko raised his arm to block, and five deep, bone-revealing wounds instantly appeared on his arm.
Mitsuko wanted to step back and create distance between herself and Chizuru Kawazu.
Chizuru Kawazu used Blood Demon Art: Deceleration once again, and at almost point-blank range, Mitsuko had no way to dodge.
Although Mitsuko can use pain to dispel the Blood Demon Art, it takes time to create pain.
During this process, Chizuru Kawazu, who had enhanced his speed with the Blood Demon Art, had already plunged his entire palm into Mitsuko's chest and lifted him up.
Intense pain instantly swept over Mitsuko's entire body.
Chizuru Kawazu grasped Mitsuko's heart: "This is your heart, isn't it... It's beating quite vigorously!"
Mitsuko's heart was being squeezed tightly by Chizuru Kawazu.
Just as Mitsuko's heart was about to be crushed, Mitsuko's whip emerged from behind and pierced into Chizuru Kawazu's chest.
The toxin in the whip was instantly injected into Chizuru Kawazu's body, rendering him unable to move.
Mitsuko manipulated the whip, using the bone spikes at the end to sever Chizuru Kawazu's arm, and Mitsuko finally regained his freedom.
The wounds on my body began to heal on their own and were soon completely healed.
Mitsuko picked up the Nichirin Blade from the ground and pointed the tip at Chizuru Kawazu.
At this moment, Chizuru Kawazu was unable to move due to the toxins in his body.
Mitsuko discovers that the toxin in his whip is surprisingly effective against demons.
Although the demon cannot be killed, the demon cannot break down the toxins within it.
The best technique to fight demons is the Sun Breathing technique in Mitsuko's mind.
Mitsuko has mastered the sword form of Sun Breathing to a very high level, but he is completely unable to use the most important breathing technique.
If Mitsuko were to forcefully use that sun-like power, he would likely be burned to ashes by it before he could even use it.
So much so that even though Mitsuko learned the sword technique, he didn't even have the chance to use it because it was utterly useless.
In Mitsuko's hands, the Nichirin Blade was merely a tool for slaying demons.
"It's over, Chizuru Kawazu."
Mitsuko swung his sword and slashed at Chizuru Kawazu's neck.
However, during the attack, dozens of children blocked Chizuru Kawazu's path.
To stop Mitsuko from beheading Chizuru Kawazu.
