"Come with me," she said in a melodious voice that felt like a ray of sunshine piercing the boy's heart. From that moment, the boy embarked on a new journey. He joined the Demon Slayer Corps, became a disciple of the strongest Cultivator, fell in love with 'her', and became comrades with Tanjiro Kamado. His ultimate goal—to kill that man!

Chapter 33: Reappears

 

Just as everyone was puzzled, a dark shadow suddenly shot up from somewhere in the woods, like a javelin thrown out, tracing a beautiful parabola and landing straight in the center of the circle.

Equally silent and seemingly appearing out of nowhere, in the blink of an eye, he stood right in front of them, so fast that you couldn't even react.

The outer ring of defensive team members kept their eyes on the demon in the woods and did not notice the eerie figure behind them.

Although the demon in the woods behaved somewhat unusually, they could not imagine that the demon was right behind them at this moment. After all, there were so many people in the circle. If there were really a demon, it would be impossible for there to be no reaction at all.

It's not that there was no reaction, but rather that there was no time to react at all.

This time, many people locked eyes with this mysterious guest, including Kimura and Eimi.

With an expressionless round face, indifferent eyes, a muscular and strong body with overlapping muscles, the most shocking thing was his height, which should be at least two meters tall. Therefore, his lower limbs looked unusually long, giving everyone a sense of looking down.

At this moment, he was staring at a female team member in front of him.

The female team member may have sensed that her end was near, tears in her eyes as she turned to look back at her teammates, seemingly praying for someone to help her. But everyone was as if stunned, forgetting even the most basic defense.

Then the female team member found herself rising into the air, getting farther and farther away from her teammates, with the sound of whistling wind in her ears. She wanted to shout for help, but no sound came out.

It wasn't until the female teammate disappeared that her companion beside her let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered. This sudden scream startled everyone, even the demons at the edge of the woods shrank their necks.

All the outer ring team members turned to look into the circle, their sun-wheel swords shining brightly, thinking that the thing had finally appeared, ready to attack at any time.

The inner circle team members also gradually recovered from their daze and fear, their faces pale, gasping for breath. Several female team members even burst into tears and cried in pain, and even the male team members looked desperate.

What was that just now?

Is it really a demon?

What kind of demon can jump more than ten meters high?

Kimura stood up, rubbing his forehead, pacing anxiously on the open ground, finally waving his fist and shouting in despair and unwillingness.

Perhaps it was helplessness for not being able to save the girl just now, or perhaps it was a complaint against the assessment of the Demon Slayer Corps for arranging such a supernatural demon.

Emiko, standing beside him, crossed her arms and trembled.

The outer ring team members didn't know what had happened, but judging from the expressions of the inner circle team members, someone must have disappeared again, and they had also seen the true face of that thing.

The team had just suffered heavy losses, with nearly half of the members dead or injured. Now suddenly such a guy jumped out, even though the defensive circle was as strong as an iron bucket, it was like walking around in their own backyard, coming and going freely, occasionally stealing vegetables.

How can this be defended against? How to defend?

Kimura was completely at a loss.

This is the final assessment of the Demon Slayer Corps. Until now, many people realized that they had underestimated the Demon Slayer Corps.

Unfortunately, even more terrifying things are still to come.

A deep roar suddenly rang out, and all the participants who were immersed in despair and confusion shivered, turning their heads subconsciously to look at the source of the sound. Their calm hearts just now began to tremble again.

This voice reminded them of lions, tigers, and when angry, a hundred beasts scatter. But where are lions and tigers here, there are only... .

The demons lingering on the edge of the woods heard this sound, seemingly more panicked than before, and in the blink of an eye they all disappeared without a trace.

"Ka, ka"

From not far away came the sound of "ka ka", and everyone involuntarily thought of the sound of trees breaking, which was indeed the sound of trees breaking.

How much strength does it take to break a tree with a waist thickness?

Closer, that thing is closer!

The earth seemed to tremble along with them, and this group of participants trembled with them.

The participants on the outer circle each held a sword towards the direction where the sound came from, shaking like a sieve, and the people in the inner circle also stood up one after another, holding half-eaten food in their hands.

Everyone seemed to be eagerly looking forward to welcoming a certain "big shot".

Suddenly, a creature like a spider darted out from between two trees, close to the ground, and quickly ran towards the crowd, as if fleeing from something.

Immediately following was an unbearable roar, followed by two "ka ka" sounds. The two towering trees on the outer edge were split apart, and this "big shot" finally appeared in everyone's sight.

Under the moonlight, a big meatball squeezed out from between the two trees, and then chased after the thing that looked like a spider, also running towards the crowd.

"Dong dong" The earth really trembled.

What the hell is this thing?!

Only seeing this big meatball is as tall as three to four meters, much taller than the jumping demon just now, with a pair of strong legs supporting a strange upper body.

The reason why it's called strange is because the standard body shape of a human male is basically at the same level from top to bottom. But it, like three fat guys, has been cut off from their legs and stuck back to back.

It is very likely that this is the case, because it has exactly six arms, three heads, no, more precisely, two heads and one face.

The six arms are evenly distributed on this cone-like trunk, with one head each behind and above. Between the two chests in the front is a face.

Yes, there is only one face and no head.

Faced with this sudden monster, everyone was stunned, so much so that they forgot that the most important thing to do at this time was to take out their swords for defense.

Also, they only noticed the big meatball behind them, but ignored the thing that came out first, like a spider.

The spider demon was not hindered at all, passing through the defense of the participants' outer circle and silently appearing in the inner circle.

Twisting its skinny torso, it shuttled back and forth in the crowd as if it were in a place where no one was, finally locking its gaze on a female team member.

The spider demon lay down at the feet of the female team member, greedily sniffing, slowly stood up, sniffed from the feet to the back of the neck, and finally a pair of dry hands reached under the neck of the female team member.

The cold touch, the fishy smell, the female team member sensed something unusual, subconsciously turned her head to look back, but just happened to meet a strange smiling face.

A row of sharp teeth reflected a cold white light under the moonlight.

Is it my turn this time? This guy looks so ugly!

Before she could scream for help, the female team member heard the sound of her neck being twisted, her vision began to blur, and everything around her seemed to be drifting away, a tear sliding down her cheek.

The demon held the twisted head, laughing excitedly.

At this moment, someone finally noticed the monster that suddenly appeared in the circle, fear gripping their minds, and involuntarily swung their sun-wheel sword to chop at the spider demon.

The spider demon didn't get hit, but instead split the dead female team member's face in half.
