Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 454: Bonus Content, Scripted Performance

Rather than rushing to kill the Twelve Demon Moons, Ubuyashiki is more concerned about the people still alive in the town.

Furthermore, as experience in fighting demons increased, and data on various Blood Demon Arts were recorded, this Blood Demon Arts, which possessed summoning abilities, was discovered.

They can fight while eating people, and eating people can also speed up their recovery.

Food is like a "blood pack" to a ghost.

Rengoku Makijuro immediately assumed an offensive stance.

But several thick trees blocked his way, but the Yaori Maru in his hand burst into flames and shattered them all.

"Beware of the miasma," the android priestess warned.

If breathing techniques are restricted, one's strength will be greatly affected.

"As expected, you are not ordinary members of the Demon Slayer Corps." The arrival of Rengoku Makijuro immediately eased the situation.

Of course, it was only a slowdown and did not immediately establish a decisive battle situation.

Lower Moon Six's attacks were thwarted by Rengoku Makijuro, who clearly knew that the person in front of him was not an ordinary Demon Slayer Corps member.

Is it a pillar?

This is something that all the Twelve Demon Moons know, since many of them have been killed by the Demon Slayer Corps.

But even if it's a pillar, then nothing else matters.

Even though he is the weakest of the Twelve Demon Moons, his Blood Demon Art can definitely take them down.

Purple miasma began to spread, while he hid within his Blood Demon Art.

Now that the Demon Slayer Corps' reinforcements have arrived, let's increase our strength first.

He wasn't trying to escape; rather, he planned to eat people in preparation for the upcoming battle.

If we eliminate the Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps here, will we receive a reward from Lord Muzan, and will he be granted demon blood again?

Besides enhancing their own strength, the Twelve Demon Moons can also be strengthened by Muzan's demon blood.

Of course, this rarely happens, since it's not easy to withstand the power of demon blood.

But a blue light enveloped an area of ​​100 meters in radius.

"You cannot leave; I have already set up a demon-sealing barrier here."

"Damn priestess!" This directly enraged Lower Moon Six.

"Since you're courting death, then go ahead and die."

As the miasma spread rapidly, the trees grew wildly, trying to cover them up and also to see if they could break through the so-called barrier.

Faced with this miasma, Rengoku Makijuro kept retreating.

This is just normal miasma. If it were miasma like that in the world of Inuyasha, it would probably have a corrosive effect.

Looking at it, Lucci felt that the Demon Slayer Corps' mastery of "ki" might need to be put on the agenda.

When the power of Blood Demon Art increases so much, martial arts alone are no longer sufficient to counter it.

Space is limited. When there is nowhere to retreat, even if you cut down the trees that are blocking your way, they will quickly recover, and at the same time, attacks will come.

Suddenly, a white butterfly landed on Rengoku Makijuro's shoulder.

It is the Butterfly Purification Technique of the artificial humans.

"I am not good at fighting. My purification spell is now cast on you, making you immune to the miasma."

The butterfly merged into Rengoku Makijuro's body, giving him a strange feeling.

The body seemed to enter a special defensive state.

In Lucci's eyes, Rengoku Makijuro was currently in a state of entanglement.

"Thank you!" After saying his thanks, Rengoku Makijuro charged straight at Lower Moon Six.

The Flame Form unfolds and actually emits flames.

Previously, we were worried about the miasma and dared not approach and attack rashly. Now that the miasma can no longer cause any problems, we are no longer afraid.

As for Lower Moon Six, he possesses a sufficiently abundant sorcerer's heart. As one of the Twelve Demon Moons, his close-combat abilities are actually quite strong.

However, he did not choose to fight in close combat, but instead used Blood Demon Arts to fight, manipulating various trees and vines to attack, and also using miasma.

In his eyes, Rengoku Makijuro was able to resist the miasma by a certain white light, and this white light was being consumed.

Damn witch.

He also wanted to ambush and kill the android witch, but that was simply impossible.

Judging by the strength of the Twelve Demon Moons in the story, he possesses the abilities of the Upper Moon One 2.

After all, the Demon Slayer Corps is stronger.

The current Rengoku Makijuro is definitely stronger than his son, Rengoku Kyojuro.

The barrier was not unbreakable; while attacking the two, it was also breaking through the barrier.

Of course, Lucci was also controlling one of the variables, not intending to let Lower Moon Six escape, since the other side had not yet arrived.

Without the replenishment of Lower Moon Six's blood demon magic, the various vines and tree-men in the town were being rapidly eliminated.

As for the burrowing demon and the girl demon, they only clashed with the pillar at the beginning and, realizing they were no match for it, immediately hid and fled.

The situation in the town was not good; there were too many people, and although the casualties were heavy, the most important thing was that a fire had broken out.

This made the Demon Slayer Corps' rescue operation a problem.

After quickly eliminating the threat, the other pillars rushed to provide support, while the Winter Pillar and Summer Pillar checked the surroundings, since two demons had just escaped.

If there are any problems, they can act quickly.

Of course, most of their attention was focused on the huge barrier on the outskirts of the town, and the trees that were constantly being impacted within the barrier.

It's clear from all of them that the barrier isn't stable enough.

"This range and the Blood Demon Art are extremely troublesome. Is this the Twelve Demon Moons?"

Xia Zhu couldn't help but sigh.

There is a significant difference in strength between the Pillars and the demons under the Twelve Demon Moons. The weak can be killed with a single strike, while those with some strength do not take long to kill.

Unless it's some kind of special blood demon technique that kills on first sight.

Lower Moon Six has the ability to fight in groups.

Other pillars rush into the barrier, but the barrier will not block people.

However, their first task was to break through these trees and vines, and they needed to do it quickly because the regeneration rate was too fast.

Even without spatial abilities, under this Blood Demon Art, even if the sun rises, he still cannot kill Lower Moon Riku, unless his Blood Demon Art is affected by the sun.

"The fire is even more troublesome now; it's getting a bit out of control." Dong-joo was taking action, but he could only use his slashing technique to break through a section of the firebreak, otherwise the fire would spread in one direction.

But it's a drop in the ocean; the other Demon Slayer Corps members are constantly trying to draw water from the well, but their efforts are minimal.

Unless it's going to rain at this time.

The moonlight gradually dimmed.

Dark clouds appeared in the sky.

Lucci knew he had finally arrived.

Otherwise, the order wouldn't have been given to Tamayo to come along, since she now has the ability to fly.

In the air, on an enlarged feather, Tamayo never expected that this Rain Woman would actually save people.

Rain began to fall quickly from the sky. As a rain woman, rain was entirely her power.

"What kind of expression is that? I was a human when I was alive, okay? Don't think that just because I became a monster, I'm necessarily an enemy of humans." The Rain Woman didn't have a nice expression.

"It seems we've arrived too early; that guy isn't dead yet. But since the master has summoned us, it's only a matter of time."

No one noticed the two people in the air, not even the ravens, given their altitude.

They just watched the battle below in silence.

At this point, the barrier was broken.

The trees spread once more, and tree people and vines emerged again and again.

This time, however, all the Pillars worked together seamlessly, with some continuing to attack Lower Moon Six while others controlled the spread of its Blood Demon Art.

However, it can only be controlled for a short period of time.

Even with so many pillars attacking together, they found that they couldn't kill their opponent in a short time.

The opponent's Blood Demon Art is too troublesome. If it weren't for the presence of the priestess, they would all be restrained by the miasma.

At the same time, the Blood Demon Art has a very wide range and there are too many trees and vines, so the opponent can hide using Wood Release, making it difficult to find their traces.

It was mostly the priestesses who gave the orders.

If it were simply them fighting here, the outcome would be uncertain. They might be fine, but they would definitely not be able to completely stop the other side's actions.

If the other party wants to escape, they may not be able to stop them at all.

This result is not good.

Muzan was very satisfied with this situation.

Of the twelve demon moons, he was only satisfied with the Upper Rank demons, while news of the Lower Rank demons being killed by the Demon Slayer Corps would come every now and then.

This made him quite dissatisfied.

Now, not only him, but even the Twelve Demon Moons have greatly improved their strength. Given time, no one can truly kill him.

It seems that it will not be easy for that "great one" to descend into the world.

However, this priestess is a bit troublesome, but that's all she is. In terms of strength, she's just so-so.

He was completely fearless.

What followed appeared to be a protracted war, and the increase in numbers did not turn the tide of the battle.

Furthermore, once the barrier was intact, the android priestess wisely retreated to continue the battle, pretending to be greatly exhausted.

Is this battle going to drag on until dawn before anything changes?

If it's a fight, a Pillar can fight all night long, provided he isn't seriously injured.

This is also a prerequisite for becoming a pillar.

Even if you can't defeat a demon, being able to hold them off is a form of strength. As long as you have the ability to fight for a whole night, it's acceptable even if you're not that strong.

However, this battle did not last indefinitely.

After the rain extinguished the flames, the first change in the battle was in the hands of Rengoku Makijuro.

He felt a surge of power within his body.

That was the energy within his body, which in this world could also be called spiritual energy.

As his own energy was activated, Yaohimaru spontaneously emitted flames this time, and they were quite dazzling.

The voice of the android witch resounded throughout the entire arena.

"I have placed a purification spell on you. Under the influence of spiritual power, it is possible to activate the dormant spiritual power within you, which can make you stronger."

The Twelve Ghost Months were Lucci's way of giving the Demon Slayer Corps a perk.

Rengoku Makijuro had the most contact with Lucci and also possessed a divine artifact like Yohimaru, which in this world would be considered a magical weapon or spirit weapon.

Naturally, there will be different changes.

He had only just begun to activate his Nen, so naturally he couldn't use it yet, but the Yoh-maru in his hand was showing some promise.

He discovered that by combining the Flame Breathing Technique with his own spiritual power, he could make Yohimaru ignite a great flame.

As he demonstrated it, the power of his techniques was unleashed.

The flames not only scorch the miasma, but also cut trees and vines very easily, and will also cause burns, slowing down the recovery speed of vines and trees.

this!

Muzan was surprised once again. The level of that priestess had already surprised him. After all, this level of spiritual power application was the first he had ever seen.

However, although Rengoku Makijuro's performance is still not as good as Yoriichi Tsugikuni's, this change makes him feel a certain crisis.

Is this considered Yin-Yang magic?

This witch is indeed a threat.

When Rengoku Makijuro underwent a transformation, the other Pillars also wanted to experience one of those changes, but unfortunately, it wasn't so quick.

And since we are still in the middle of a battle, I can't be distracted, but even in the middle of a battle, I can feel a power surging within me.

Perhaps he can ask after the battle is over.

This also represents a turning point in the battle.

The android priestess delivered another MVP, striking Lower Moon Six with a magic-piercing arrow, but failing to kill him.

Instead, it weakened his strength. When the range of his Blood Demon Art began to shrink, the outcome he would face was inevitable.

"I will not be killed by you." Suddenly, a powerful aura emanated from Lower Moon Six.

Something is vibrating.

It is the power of the "Sessho-seki".

To be precise, it was Lucci.

Before you die, let's have one last spectacular show.

Lower Moon Six's entire body was changing, becoming woody, and turning into a tall wooden figure.

The surrounding wooden houses are beginning to grow.

This change surprised everyone; Lower Moon Six had become even stronger.

"This is the power of the Killing Stone!" Tamayo in the sky exclaimed in surprise.

As the owner of the Sesshōseki, she could naturally sense the power of the Sesshōseki.

If I possessed this power, could I kill Muzan?

Tamayo had just had such a thought.

"That's right, but if used like that, even a ghost probably won't live long." The Rain Woman said with a regretful expression.

"However, the Demon Slayer Corps is weaker than I imagined. But that priestess..." The Rain Woman's gaze lingered on the android priestess.

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt there was something strange about this witch.

This change immediately spurred all the other pillars to fight desperately, as the evacuation of the town was still ongoing.

Meanwhile, the android witch was preparing to shoot arrows again.

And the target was also aimed at a specific location.

The Demon-Slaying Arrow was fired, but its light was much weaker than the previous Demon-Slaying Arrows.

It seems they don't want anyone to find out.

The wooden figure is fighting against Rengoku Makijuro.

At this moment, Makijuro actually used the Yohimaru as a jet engine, allowing him to fly in the air.

However, he was merely dodging Lower Moon Six's attacks. Lower Moon Six's current appearance was more like some kind of great monster than a demon.

Muzan's feelings were more pronounced. Although he could still see them, his control over them decreased significantly when the Twelve Demon Moons activated the power of the Sesshoseki.

"Ah!" Suddenly, Lower Moon Riku swayed and became unsteady on his feet.

"How is that possible!"

Muzan's expression changed.

The arrow struck Lower Moon Six, and its light began to shine. Similarly, within Lower Moon Six's body, where the arrow had been, a purple light shone.

It is the Killing Stone.
