Chapter 10: The Twelve Ghost Moons
The night is panicked, and there will be a moment of dawn.
After a night of fighting, the ghost killing team that went out on patrol returned one after another.
Glancing at Mr. Yoshiyoshi Tomioka, who had closed his eyes and rested again, Kyojuro of Purgatory exhaled and came to the returning Demon Slayer team members to count the battle situation.
"Team Orient, last night captured 2 demons!"
"Team Southeast, 1 Demon."
"Team Northeast, 3!
……
After all the returning teams reported the battle situation, Purgatory Xingjuro's face became very ugly: "Why are there only 5 teams, the western team, the southern team, and the southwest team?" ”
"Report to my lord, last night the vine attacked the south of the mountain in the direction of the big ghost, the south team and the southwest team have been ...... The captain of our team, Taro Kumada, was seriously injured and fell into a coma, but fortunately his life was not in danger, and he had killed the fleeing demons. Seiichisuke Yamada, who was standing in the corner, said in a low voice.
Hearing this, Xing Shoulang's hand holding the handle of the knife was exposed: "...... They are all heroes. So, what about the Western team? ”
Everyone in the audience looked at each other, but no one responded.
Seeing this, a flame flashed in Xingjulang's eyes: "It seems that something has happened to the West......
"All martial law, tonight, the west will be patrolled by me!"
"Yes"
"Alright, let's all go rest!"
Looking at the people who were leaning against the tree and sleeping in less than a minute, Purgatory Kyojuro came to Tomioka's side with a heavy heart.
At this time, Tomioka Yoshiyoshi had opened his eyes and was expressionless: "I'll go to the westward patrol tonight." ”
"No!" Purgatory Kyojuro's eyes burned like fire, scorching and piercing: "Mr. Tomioka, I am the leader of this mission!" The death of a team member is a dereliction of duty! ”
"It's my responsibility as the team leader to take this ghostly blade!"
"I'll leave it to you for tonight's guard mission!"
After speaking, he bowed slightly to Tomioka Yoshiyong.
"Okay." Looking at the young man in front of him, Tomioka nodded and closed his eyes again.
Both of them know that they can make the ghost killing team wipe out without even releasing the signal flares, and I am afraid that the strength of the evil ghosts that appear this time is at least the level of blood ghosts......
Only demons who have mastered the powerful blood ghost art are qualified to be called blood ghosts!
The strength of this level of evil ghosts has opened a dimensional gap with ordinary ghosts.
Only the strongest swordsman under the "pillar", a first-class swordsman, is qualified to compete with the blood ghosts.
Moreover, it is just a qualification to compete, and it is too difficult and difficult to defeat.
Under the rising sun, looking at the west of the vine attack mountain, Purgatory Xingjuro was silent.
……
At this moment, in the vine attack mountain, Senjuro is resting on his back on the thick branch.
After going deep into the vine attack mountain last night, he encountered two hideous-looking but slightly thin demons one after another.
The process of slashing them with a knife was so easy that he couldn't believe it.
Of course, this is due to the fact that his level has increased and his strength has greatly improved, but the strength of these two evil ghosts is also too weak, and he is not even worthy of carrying shoes for hand ghosts, I am afraid that even when [Breath of Fire] is only mastering the level, he can easily deal with it.
This gives Senjuro an illusory sense of unreality.
Are all the demons in the vine attack mountain so weak?
Or is it that the "hand ghost" I encountered for the first time is not an ordinary ghost?
Thinking like this, he suddenly remembered that when he completed the second ring task, the system prompted that he had overfulfilled the task.
It seems that he made a wrong judgment on the strength of the demon.
Senjuro thought.
Killing these two weak ghosts, the [Ghost Hunting] trait also brings an increase, but the two of them only increase their physical strength by 0.2.
The average one is 0.1.
However, no matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are meat, and he does not dislike them.
It's a pity to say that since he came to Fuji Attack Mountain, Qianjurou has not exercised, and he doesn't even know how effective the mastery level [Flame Breath] is in terms of life source improvement, let alone the current specialization level.
However, there is no way.
In a place like Fuji Raid Mountain, where danger could arise at any time, it was impossible for him to really feel at ease and exercise.
We can only wait until the end of this mission.
Looking at the dappled sunlight between the branches and leaves, Senjuro yawned and slowly fell asleep.
Demons only appear at night, and the sunlight during the day is the deadliest poison for them.
So, now is the best time to rest.
……
Sunset over the West Mountains.
When the last ray of light was swallowed up by darkness, the ghost slayer team members who were ready to go set out on the patrol again.
And Purgatory Kyojuro also went to the west of Fuji Attack Mountain with one person and one sword.
Tomioka was the only one left alone, guarding the exit of the prison of the ghosts.
On the other side, Senjuro, who was resting and adjusting, was also ready to start his hunting plan.
Even if the reward for killing the oni in the vine attack mountain is very small, it adds up to a lot of improvement.
Besides, the weakness of the strength also means that the danger has also decreased dramatically.
As long as you are not careful, this is a channel to steadily improve your strength.
"Rustling ......"
The breeze blows and the branches sway.
A game of hunting unfolds silently in the vine attack mountain.
……
Following the patrol path of the Western team yesterday, Purgatory Xingjuro's face was as calm as water, but his heart was becoming more and more turbulent.
A team member died, it was his dereliction of duty!
To do this, he must personally slash the ghost!
Even if it costs a lot!
Soon, Purgatory Kyojuro came to the vicinity of a wooden house.
Before he could get closer, a thick, pungent smell of blood entered his nostrils.
At the same time, the smell of fishy smell is also mixed in.
This is, the smell of ghosts!
It seems that this is it.
Purgatory Kyojuro's face was grim, he pulled out the red Hinakura knife in his hand, and advanced towards the wooden house step by step.
The raging flames, the raging waves, as he walked, appeared on the Sun Wheel Knife.
The powerful momentum, at this moment, spread in all directions.
In the wooden house, under the influence of the powerful momentum of Purgatory Kyojuro, a strong ghost aura also rose.
"Boom!"
The next moment, the wooden wall of the wooden house shattered instantly, and a figure slowly walked out of it.
In the bright moonlight, Purgatory Xingjurou clearly saw the strange words in the eyes of the figures that appeared.
"Twelve Ghost Moons...... Bottom string, two! ”
He whispered, his eyes indescribably solemn.
The so-called Twelve Ghost Moons are the twelve strongest of all blood ghosts.
Although it is also a blood ghost, its strength has long been far superior to it.
"Huh...... Hehe...... Hehehehehe......"
"I thought it was you......
"Purgatory!"
"It seems that today is my time for revenge!"
"Do you know how long I've been waiting for this day......"
The demons that appeared laughed wildly, and their voices were indescribably cheerful.
In the face of the second string's words, Purgatory Kyojuro shouted:
"It is unforgivable to kill my comrades!"
"Today, I will destroy you!"
