Chapter 559: SFDI - 559
As the sun rose from the ruins of the pleasure quarter, a large number of kasugai crows flew into the sky in all directions.
Some landed in front of a tall monk who was chanting sutras, some landed on the windowsill of a girl who was preparing potions, and some landed on the shoulder of a stoic swordsman who had sheathed his sword after slaying a demon.
A young man who was staring blankly at the sky came back to his senses. A red-haired youth who was teaching his younger brother swordsmanship showed an excited expression. A white-haired man with a fierce-looking scarred face had a face full of unwillingness.
A man wearing ornate accessories laughed loudly. A young man with bandages wrapped around his face narrowed his heterochromatic eyes, and a white snake on his neck flicked its tongue. A girl put down the sakura mochi she was half-eating, and covered her mouth to express her surprise.
The kasugai crows of the Demon Slayer Corps reported the news of the Upper Rank demon being killed at the fastest speed.
In a residence hidden in the mountains and forests, a long-haired man with most of his forehead covered by scars coughed painfully, and scattered spots of blood fell between the bedding.
But this didn’t prevent the man from smiling very happily.
"For the first time in history, we’ve finally killed an Upper Rank demon! I knew I wasn’t wrong, the gears of fate have begun to turn!
Muzan Kibutsuji will definitely be killed in our generation!"
.....
After Tanjiro awakened the mark, he successfully killed Gyutaro. Drake also immediately followed up and cut off Daki’s neck.
Looking at the heads of the two demons turning to ashes, Drake didn’t have any sentimental feelings of pity.
Having not experienced their tragic lives before, Drake had no position or qualification to criticize them for why they went astray. Of course, he also had no qualification to forgive them for the people they had eaten.
Going to hell together was already the most suitable ending for them.
What Drake was more concerned about now was Tanjiro, who had awakened the mark.
However, Tanjiro’s ability to describe things was really headache-inducing. Anyway, Drake couldn’t understand what was going on through a bunch of onomatopoeia.
So Drake simply studied Tanjiro’s current physical condition himself.
As Drake had guessed before, there was a special energy in Tanjiro’s body now.
It was a product of natural energy and life energy mixing together.
But because there were no special organs like the magic source in his body that could regulate it, this energy was brutally burning Tanjiro’s life.
According to this situation, not to mention twenty-five years old, it would be Tanjiro’s great fortune if he could live past twenty.
And what he got in return was Tanjiro’s physical functions that far exceeded the limits of humans.
Drake could of course use potions to replenish life force, but that was just a temporary solution. In the end, he still had to find a way to control that energy to solve the fundamental problem.
Perhaps because of the differences in the world, Drake’s experiment to help Tanjiro develop a magic source failed. So Drake could only try the method of implanting extraordinary organs.
The inspiration came from a special technique developed by a certain research pioneer in the ninja world, so Drake named the final result the Demon Slayer version of the Cursed Seal.
In short, it was to collect that mark energy in a special cursed talisman to prevent it from eroding life.
When the swordsman used the breathing technique, physical strength and natural energy would automatically mix in the cursed seal to accumulate mark energy for use in battle.
If the energy was exhausted, he could also release the cursed seal and burn part of his life to obtain enough mark energy.
In this situation, drinking some potions to replenish the lost life force would be enough to cure it, and it wouldn’t shorten a person’s lifespan.
Drake implanted the first cursed seal in this world into Tanjiro, forming a corona-like flame pattern on his forehead.
The effect was very good. Tanjiro’s life burning stopped, and the power of the mark was constantly strengthening his body.
Recently, he had begun to challenge the Constant of Sun Breathing. It seemed that the day he succeeded, it wouldn’t be impossible for him to surpass the peak of the original plot and reach the realm of Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
And for Drake, as expected, the mark was the key to fusing the breathing technique system and the magic power system.
Tanjiro’s mark energy caused the same energy to be produced in his body. After breaking through that painful limit, dragon flame patterns appeared on Drake’s neck.
And unlike Tanjiro, the mark energy in his body began to fuse with magic power under the regulation of the magic source.
If he were to make a comparison, Drake should have mastered something similar to the Sage Mode of the neighboring ninja world.
It could only be said that it was a power system that transcended the limitations of the world, and it really made Drake feel surprised.
Just then, Stella also returned with Nezuko.
According to Stella, after they arrived in Kyoto, a kasugai crow guided them, and they quickly found the reclusive Tamayo.
Sure enough, Kagaya Ubuyashiki had known about Tamayo’s existence for a long time, and had even reached a certain understanding with her.
And after Tamayo learned about Nezuko’s situation, she readily agreed to provide assistance. In terms of the degree of hatred for Muzan, Tamayo wasn’t much worse than the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps.
And according to Tamayo’s research, Nezuko’s body was undergoing drastic changes. The human part was clashing with the demon blood, wanting to eliminate this harmful bloodline’s erosion of the body.
And most of the potions that Drake had given didn’t do much good for this process. Some potions even provided nutrients to the demon blood.
Only some detoxifying potions could be used to suppress the demon blood, but their effects were also very limited. If they wanted to help Nezuko turn back into a human, they still needed Tamayo to concoct a special potion.
This was the same as in the original plot. Tamayo needed a high concentration of Muzan’s blood, that is, the blood of the Upper Ranks.
Unfortunately, he had forgotten about this last time when he killed Gyutaro and Daki, so he had no choice but to find the next Upper Rank demon.
Of the remaining five Upper Rank demons, four had uncertain whereabouts, but fortunately there was still a lead to find one demon. That was Doma, the Upper Rank Two.
The other Upper Ranks were all loners. The original plot didn’t reveal that they had any fixed bases.
But Doma was different. He not only had his own base in the human world, but also had a public identity.
Because of the island country’s strange concept of gods, it had caused a large number of religions to appear here, including some organizations that could be called cults.
In this turbulent era, people’s restless hearts always needed to find a sustenance.
And the Eternal Paradise Faith, which claimed that believers could go to paradise, was one of the "ordinary" religious organizations among the many religious organizations.
The reason why it was said to be ordinary was because there were many more eye-catching organizations than the Eternal Paradise Faith, regardless of the outrageousness of the doctrine or the scale of the organization.
And it was precisely for this reason that even the Demon Slayer Corps’ intelligence network couldn’t track down too much information about the Eternal Paradise Faith.
So Drake wrote a letter to Kagaya Ubuyashiki, explaining the matter of finding Upper Rank Two.
At the same time, Drake also proposed to prepare for the final battle.
These days, Drake had also received messages from the kasugai crow, that the traces of demons had begun to decrease recently. This was Muzan Kibutsuji beginning to shrink his forces.
It seemed that the killing of the Upper Rank demon had made Muzan change his course of action.
After killing Doma, it was also time to prepare for the final battle with Muzan Kibutsuji.
