Chapter 60: Test [Extra Chapter]

Chapter 60: Test [Extra Chapter]

---

In a simply furnished room, Kagaya sat in front of him, while Amane tended to him from the side. Gyomei , Sanemi , Giyu, and Tengen were seated across from each other.

"Ahem, cough, cough, how do you feel?" Kagaya coughed twice.

"Strong, Really strong ! Moreover, my blood has no effect!" Sanemi's expression was extremely serious.

The five pillars joined forces and were unable to fight back against Aoki. The cruel fact was like the cold wind in deep winter, making his heart feel cold.

Although they did not unleash their greatest potential because it was not a life-or-death battle, why did their opponent go all out?

Gyomei clasped his hands together: "This time, I was holding everyone back."

As the strongest member of the Demon Slayer Corps, he had become the most useless person.

"There is nothing we can do about it. His ability is too well-suited to restrain you, Mr. Himejima," Tengen touched his hair. "I don't know if it's my imagination, but I feel like he can see through our moves!"

"I also have this feeling," Giyu put his hands on his legs and said calmly, "When I was about to use combat skills, all my movements were seen through."

The room fell silent.

Sanemi clenched his fists and said slowly: "His ability activates without any warning, the interval is very short, and it can be used continuously. Until we find a way to counter this ability, there is absolutely nothing we can do against him!"

Ubuyashiki Kagaya said gently: "Mr. Aomura is now our partner. There is no need to consider this issue anymore."

"Yes!" the four of them said in unison.

…

The street was quiet at night, and two figures, a man and a woman, were walking slowly.

They both looked under 20 years old.

The man was tall, heroic, and handsome, with a pair of golden vertical eyes that attracted attention even at night.

The woman was tall and beautiful, gentle as water, and had a temperament that made people want to get close to her.

"Mr. Aomura, what do you think about using poison?"

"Huh? What?" Aoki, who was reviewing the battle just now, was a little unable to react.

Kanae raised her lavender eyes: "According to Mr. Aomura's description, Kibutsuji Muzan is too strong. In a head-on battle, even if we gather all our strength, I'm afraid we won't be his opponent."

Aoki nodded.

Kanae's guess was correct. The current Demon Slayer Corps was no match for Kibutsuji Muzan.

Kanae said: "So I thought, can I use poison to weaken Kibutsuji Muzan? My sister lacks wrist strength and is not good at slashing, so she uses poison to increase her damage. But I don't know if poison has any effect on Muzan Kibutsuji."

"Of course it works, but it's impossible to kill Muzan Kibutsuji with poison alone. As long as you give him enough time, he can decompose any poison," Aoki said.

He had no plans to introduce Tamayo to the Demon Slayer Corps for the time being.

The Demon Slayer Corps' hatred for demons runs deep into their bones.

He could guarantee his own safety, but Tamayo and Yushiro didn't have much ability to protect themselves.

The current situation, unlike the original work, is not so urgent that they must put aside all their grudges and work together.

It's best to wait until both parties have established further trust.

"It doesn't matter, just weaken him and find another opportunity to cut his neck…"

"It's useless to chop the neck. Muzan Kibutsuji has already exceeded his limit long ago, and even a severed head can be regenerated."

"So, if you want to kill him, you can only rely on sunlight?" Kanae's expression looked a little heavy.

'That was indeed the case before, but now, even a level 2 Demon-Devouring has a chance.'

Thoughts flashed through Aoki's mind.

Of course, the premise is that he can cause enough damage to Kibutsuji Muzan. If he can't touch him, the level 2 "Demon Devouring" will not be effective.

Kanae sighed: "It's really scary, even despairing. I can't help but think, with our power, can we really eliminate Kibutsuji Muzan?"

Aoki said: "Actually, the strongest person that has ever appeared in this world is not Muzan Kibutsuji, but a swordsman who uses the breathing method."

Kocho Kanae quickly reacted: "A user of the initial breath?"

Aoki nodded: "Yoriichi, the Chosen Son, almost killed Kibutsuji Muzan with his sword."

After being heavily weakened, Kibutsuji Muzan still beat everyone, but Yoriichi almost killed him in seconds with every move he made. The sword wound left behind has not completely healed for hundreds of years.

"Why is there such a big gap between us pillars and initial breathing users?"

Kanae said blankly: "I can feel that my strength is close to the limit. If I continue to train, my strength may improve, but it is not certain whether I can catch up with Mr. Himejima, and I cannot compete with Mr. Aomura at all."

"Don't talk about your limits lightly, your potential is far more than that," Aoki said.

Patterns are the key, as they can greatly improve physical fitness, allowing the pillars to truly have the strength to challenge the upper moons.

Swordsmanship is based on grip strength. Although there is no evidence, before awakening the Mark, the grip strength should be difficult to reach the standard.

Transparent world is a plug-in that only a few people can master and cannot be considered a regular force.

Contemporary pillars should all have the potential to awaken their marks, but the first person to awaken their Mark's is the key.

There seems to be a switch in this world.

After the first person with the mark appears, the switch is turned on, and the people around can also get the mark as if by resonance.

In this generation, the first person to awaken the mark is Tanjiro.

He is still an ordinary charcoal boy now.

The time for the Demon Slayer Corps to take off has yet to come.

However, Kanae didn't know this and only thought that Mr. Aomura was comforting her, with a gentle smile on her face: "Don't worry, Mr. Aomura, I won't be defeated.

Mr. Aomura's agreement to cooperate is a great encouragement to me.

As long as we unite and never give up, we will be able to defeat Muzan Kibutsuji one day!

If one person can't beat him, we will go together! If we are not a match for him head-on, we will use poison! If we can't kill him by beheading, we will drag him into the sun!

There must be a way!"

Aoki smiled and didn't continue to discuss this topic. So he changed the subject: "I didn't expect this time to go so smoothly. I thought you would be more wary of me."

Kanae smiled embarrassedly: "Before this, we carefully investigated Mr. Aomura's deeds, and we tested it during the battle."

"Huh?"

Aoki was surprised: "Test? What test? Why didn't I notice?"

The smile in Kanae's eyes became more charming.

"Mr. Shinazugawa, the one with white hair and many scars on his body, actually has a rare blood constitution, and his blood has a strong attraction to demons. During the battle, he deliberately cut his arm and bled a lot, but Mr. Aomura did not react at all. Combined with the situation we investigated before, it is basically confirmed that you, Mr. Aomura, really don't need to eat people!"

"Rare blood!"

Aoki suddenly realized.

He knew that Sanemi had very strong rare blood, which not only had a strong attraction to demons but also could make demons who smelled it drunk.

However, he did not feel anything unusual during the battle, so naturally, he did not notice their little test.

After the battle, the hostility of the pillars decreased a lot. He originally thought it was just because he showed mercy in the battle, but he did not expect that there was a test.
