Chapter 37: writes well!
The three youngsters each entered the Ogimoto House, Tokito House, and Kyogoku House, carrying out thrilling and exciting missions while also enjoying some interesting descriptions of small details.
This mixed feeling did not backfire; instead, it made readers even more excited.
Just then, the Sound Pillar, Tengen Uzui, made a shocking statement, revealing the source of evil in the Entertainment District Arc, which was very likely an Upper Moon Demon!
A sense of impending storm made readers feel deeply, even frowning.
They hadn't forgotten the ending of the previous volume, where the Flame Pillar ultimately died at the hands of Upper Moon Three.
Knowing the powerful setting of the Upper Moon Demons, they worried for the protagonists, especially Tengen Uzui. Was he also going to sacrifice himself like the previous Flame Pillar?
If it were anyone else, they wouldn't think too much; important positive characters in the plot usually don't die so easily, but if it was 'Izumi Masamune,' then it might not be the case!
There was a precedent for this.
Just as they were reading with bated breath, they didn't expect that the first one to fight Upper Moon Six Daki would actually be Tanjiro!
And in their initial face-off, although Tanjiro struggled, he didn't seem completely without resistance.
Could it be that this period of training had already elevated Tanjiro's strength to a level where he could contend with an Upper Moon?
Or, was the gap between Upper Moon Six and Upper Moon Three also very large, causing the difference between the two sides to be relatively narrowed?
With these questions in mind, the reader continued to read.
Daki's wanton destruction, venting her dissatisfaction, slicing through a street, and once again causing massive damage, enraged Tanjiro.
"…I will never allow such brutality!"
Tanjiro, with bloody tears streaming from his eyes, stood before Daki, his nichirin blade resting on his shoulder, even causing her to feel surprise and fear.
No, it should be said that it awakened the fear of Muzan's cells that remained within Daki's body.
That god-like man, wielding his nichirin blade, slashed at Muzan and questioned him: "What do you consider life to be?"
This scene ignited all the previously built-up fear and despair, leading to an impassioned anticipation for Tanjiro's stunning performance in this state.
Could he truly cut off Upper Moon Six Daki's head?
"Well written, Chihiro!"
Eriri exclaimed involuntarily.
Her emotions were completely stirred, which was a very rare occurrence. As a deep otaku, she had read many novels and manga, and had also read the first two volumes of "demon slayer," so she clearly felt the transformation in her childhood friend's writing skill.
"And Sagiri, she's growing too… The battle scenes are much better than before; it seems she's done a lot of extra study."
Eriri tilted her head and silently evaluated.
The illustration next to the text showed Tanjiro's expression, with his anger and determination clearly visible in his eyes, and the surrounding bloody scene was also shocking.
This speed of improvement showed more talent than she had imagined.
When she first started chatting with Sagiri and learned that Sagiri was a drawing enthusiast, she had specifically asked Sagiri to send her a drawing.
In her eyes, it was clearly only a beginner's level, not nearly enough effort.
But looking at the changes in the illustrations across these three volumes, her progress was simply exaggerated.
Even considering Kasan's teaching ability, her talent level was probably no less than her own!
She suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis.
It was one thing to not be able to compare to that person, after all, that was a monster rarely seen in many years, but if she lost to such a rising star, where would her pride go?
Although Sagiri's drawing skills were still some distance behind her own, she couldn't afford to be so complacent anymore. This might even be an opportunity for her to make further progress.
"I'll think about these annoying things later. For today, I need to finish the third volume first..."
Eriri quickly shook off her distracting thoughts.
After all, she had been waiting for so long, almost unable to resist going to Chihiro's place to rush him for the manuscript...
If possible, she even hoped that Chihiro's editor would lock Chihiro in a dark room so he could write the third volume sooner!
"Kasan, I'm going back to my room..."
After finishing dinner with her mother, Sawamura Sayuri, she put down her chopsticks and returned to her room to continue reading.
The story continued.
Human physiques cannot be generalized. Some people, in extreme anger, have dodged all 30 rifle shots from an opponent and disarmed him with a single punch after he ran out of bullets.
And Tanjiro, as a user of Sun Breathing, though he didn't consider himself chosen by the heavens, it was quite reasonable for him to fight Upper Moon Six Daki to a standstill in extreme anger, wasn't it?
Eriri didn't consider the rationality of the combat power, but rather savored the exhilaration of this part of the story.
The description of the atmosphere, from earlier setbacks and injuries to the counterattack and eventual victory, was truly inspiring!
This was an unchanging trope of shonen manga or hot-blooded novels.
However, just as Tanjiro was about to succeed, his stamina reached its limit first, preventing him from delivering the final blow, and Daki even mocked him.
"Damn it! He stopped! I'm so frustrated... Chihiro, you really don't follow the usual tropes!"
Eriri blurted out.
But on second thought, it was actually quite normal, because the description from the very beginning had been very clear.
The battle between humans and demons was inherently very unfair.
Human stamina limits are easily reached, recovery from injuries is slow, and there are even some incurable wounds. In contrast, demons have no other weaknesses besides their necks and sunlight.
So, this scene was not surprising at all.
Besides, Sound Pillar Uzui Tengen was still on the sidelines; how could Tanjiro directly solo Upper Moon Six?
Wouldn't Flame Pillar's sacrifice then seem too easy?
Eriri quickly composed herself.
The protagonist of demon slayer, Tanjiro, was not a 'Dragon Among Men' type of character, which was also a special point.
After convincing herself, she turned to the next page.
When Tanjiro faced a desperate situation, who could come to save him?
Soon, this page provided the answer.
A pale, slender leg intervened, delivering a kick directly to Daki's face, sending her tumbling several times like a windmill across the rooftops in a sorry state...
"It's Nezuko!"
Eriri exclaimed in surprise.
But she quickly reconsidered.
Little sister saves older brother...
Hmm?
Why isn't there a childhood friend character?
A hint of dissatisfaction suddenly arose in Eriri's heart.
