“I encountered the new Lower Moon Two, Rokuro. Although his strength was also very strong, after learning the Breath of the Sun, my strength has also improved, so I killed him without injury! Uzui, thank you for your concern!”
Kyojuro Rengoku sat upright, staring with wide eyes, and said loudly.
“Uh… actually, I was just asking. If you really want to care, care about Shimizu and the others. Encountering two Upper Moon demons at once, and successfully killing them without any Pillars dying, this kind of magnificent thing, I wouldn't have dared to believe it in the past.”
This record is too shocking.
The Upper Moon demons have not changed for a hundred years. If anyone alone kills an Upper Moon demon, then in terms of record, it would not be an exaggeration to call him the strongest Pillar in a hundred years.
However, Shimizu killed two Upper Moon demons one after another in one night, one of which was Upper Moon Two, which was ranked extremely high.
For three hundred years, except for the era of the first swordsman, no Pillar of any generation has been able to do such a thing. He can be called the strongest Pillar in three hundred years!
While this surprised every member of the Demon Slayer Corps, it also gave these Pillars an idea.
The Transparent World technique is so strong!
Coach, I want to learn!
“Ahem, everyone, sorry, I'm late.”
Kagaya Ubuyashiki, amidst coughs, was supported by his wife Amane Ubuyashiki as he came before everyone, with unconcealable joy on his face.
He couldn't help but be happy.
Last year, Lower Moon Two was killed by Kyojuro Rengoku, and then this year, Lower Moon Three and Lower Moon Six were also eliminated, which has been a rare occurrence for many years.
But now, there's an even bigger one.
Lower Moon One, Lower Moon Two, Upper Moon Five, Upper Moon Two!
In total, just in terms of numbers, more than half of the Twelve Kizuki have been wiped out!
Three hundred years ago, except for the era of the first swordsman, they had killed most of the Twelve Kizuki except for Muzan. In the three hundred years after that, the Demon Slayer Corps had not even killed many Upper Moon demons, and even in the past hundred years, no Upper Moon had died.
“Master Ubuyashiki!”
“Master!”
“Senior Ubuyashiki.”
Kagaya Ubuyashiki smiled and looked at everyone in front of him.
The word Pillar has nine strokes. In the past, the Demon Slayer Corps had a maximum of only nine Pillars at the same time.
But this generation has ten, and each one truly possesses the ability to serve as a Pillar, and has done what countless generations of Pillars have failed to do.
“Everyone, I sincerely thank you for slaying demons for humanity, braving hardships, and risking your lives.”
Kagaya Ubuyashiki bowed deeply to everyone.
Kyojuro Rengoku and Tengen Uzui, who were closest, hurriedly stepped forward to support him.
“Namu Amida Butsu, why does Master Ubuyashiki need to do this? Killing demons is the duty of the Pillars.”
Gyomei Himejima said with his palms together.
“Compared to you who are risking your lives, all I, who am powerless, can do is this. Gyomei, Kyojuro, thank you again for removing a Lower Moon demon.”
“Shimizu, Shinobu Kocho, Mitsuri, I must thank you even more for eliminating two Upper Moon demons. This time, it is a change that has not occurred in a hundred, no, three hundred years… cough, cough—!”
Kagaya Ubuyashiki's tone was excited, and finally, because he spoke too fast, it affected his body and he coughed.
Amane hurriedly patted Kagaya Ubuyashiki's back to help him catch his breath.
“No, Master Ubuyashiki, all of this is actually thanks to Shimizu. Both Upper Moon demons were killed by him. Mitsuri and I only temporarily held back Upper Moon Five.”
Shinobu Kocho turned to look at Shimizu, remembering the amazing moment when Shimizu killed Gyokko with one sword that night, and the heroic scene when he resolutely blocked Doma with his own strength.
“Yes, yes, yes! Shinobu is right! Senior Shimizu is very powerful. I didn't even see clearly how he killed that fish-like demon with one sword!”
Mitsuri Kanroji nodded her little head beside Shinobu Kocho.
One sword kills an Upper Moon!
Every word, every sentence, every expression, every detail!
These words made Kagaya Ubuyashiki's heart tremble, and several Pillars, including Sanemi Shinazugawa, felt a fire in their hearts.
If they could also master the ability of the Transparent World, would they also be able to kill Upper Moons? If all the Pillars joined forces, would they be able to kill Muzan?
Kagaya Ubuyashiki smiled and signaled Mitsuri Kanroji, who was babbling non-stop, to stop, and then asked Shimizu and Gyomei Himejima.
“Shimizu, Gyomei, is it possible for other Pillars to master the ability of the Transparent World? Our generation has the best chance in three hundred years to eliminate Muzan. If we can have a greater chance, that would be a great thing.”
Shimizu looked at Gyomei Himejima, and then at the other Pillars.
In the original timeline, besides the Yoriichi brothers and the Tanjiro father and son, Gyomei Himejima was the only one who had opened the Transparent World, and then there were Obanai Iguro and Muichiro Tokito.
These three Pillars also activated the three-piece set of Stains, Scarlet Blades, and Transparent World in the final battle.
The Serpent Pillar's perception ability may be the strongest among this generation of Pillars besides Gyomei Himejima. In the original timeline, after Gyomei realized the Transparent World, he used words to guide him on the battlefield, and he quickly mastered this technique.
And Muichiro Tokito was too talented and realized these things in battle.
These two can probably be opened after being pointed out.
Beyond that is Tengen Uzui.
In the original timeline, Tengen Uzui retired early in the battle to kill Upper Moon Six due to injuries and did not participate in the Infinity Castle battle, and was insulated from opening the three-piece suit, and even became one of the Pillars with the worst record because of this.
But now, he is the one with the most opportunities.
In terms of wrist strength, excluding Shimizu, he is second only to the Stone Pillar. The two of them are most likely to open the Scarlet Blade without opening the Stains.
In terms of perception, he can open the Score, and is even only one step away from opening the Transparent World.
As for the remaining people, Kyojuro Rengoku, who has learned a part of the Breath of the Sun, may have a chance?
Just as Shimizu was thinking, Gyomei Himejima slowly spoke:
“The so-called Transparent World is a sense that can only be opened after the brain and mind become transparent. Under this realm, one's own movement speed, prediction and avoidance of attacks will be significantly improved, the blood flow in the opponent's lungs is also clearly visible, and the contraction of one's own muscles can be grasped more quickly, and one can perfectly see through all the enemy's weaknesses…”
