Chapter 54 Crisis
The moment the words fell, Lower Moon Two's three heads opened their mouths simultaneously, emitting an extremely sharp shriek.
"Buzz!!!!"
In an instant, three distinct sound waves intertwined, like an invisible blade, sweeping towards Nezuko and Tanjiro.
At that moment, Nezuko and Tanjiro also stopped in their tracks and actions due to the intense sound waves.
Mizuko's eyes suddenly became unfocused, and her wrist holding the knife trembled uncontrollably.
The spray of Water Breathing began to dissipate on the blade, and the attack that was about to fall turned into a limp and powerless descent in an instant.
The already incredibly sensitive Nezuko was attacked by sonic waves, causing her to grow almost exponentially.
Just as Lower Moon Two said, this sonic attack also has the effect of captivating souls.
Especially on the face closest to Midouzi, a sorrowful expression appeared.
Meanwhile, under the influence of the sound waves, Midouzi began to hallucinate the wails of her family members before their deaths.
Those familiar yet tragic voices began to echo in Midouzi's ears, as if he were personally experiencing that hell on earth.
He collapsed to his knees, his white eyeballs rolled back, and he lost consciousness.
Tanjiro, standing to the side, was slightly better off than Nezuko; he simply stood there with his mouth agape and his eyes unfocused.
Looking at the two men's disheveled appearance, the three faces of the Executioner simultaneously revealed a maniacal smile.
"Hahaha, you think you can kill me?"
Lower Moon Two ignored Nezuko and looked at Tanjiro, who was still standing.
"To earn Muzan-sama's attention, you're quite remarkable!"
As Lower Moon Two spoke, he used his arm to transform into a bone blade and pierced through Tanjiro's body.
"Don't worry, Lord Muzan only asked me to take you back. I won't kill you."
He leaned close to Tanjiro's ear, his voice as cold as a viper's hiss.
"And what's more... I'll deliver you to Lord Muzan even faster than those two idiots!"
As Lower Moon Two spoke, he reached out with his other hand and roughly grabbed Tanjiro's chin, forcibly straightening his head.
He squinted, and the gazes of all three heads fell on Tanjiro's face at the same time, as if they were examining an insignificant object.
"Let me take a good look... at you brat, see what's so special about you that makes Lord Muzan so interested in you..."
However, just as Tanjiro's head was forcibly straightened—
Those unfocused, hazy eyes suddenly snapped open!
The confusion in his eyes vanished instantly, replaced by blood-red eyes and pure killing intent!
His powerful regenerative abilities after being transformed into a demon allowed him to break free from the three-headed soul-devouring bondage amidst excruciating pain and mental shock, and his consciousness returned instantly!
"Um?"
The executioner's laughter stopped abruptly, and the three heads froze, a look of astonishment flashing in their eyes.
He could clearly feel a violent tremor coming from the bone blade that had pierced Tanjiro's chest.
It was a near-violent rage emanating from deep within the other person's body.
"What did you do to Mizuko?"
Tanjiro gritted his teeth, each word seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth; this was the first complete sentence he uttered after becoming a demon.
Before Ryojuro could recover from his shock, Tanjiro suddenly raised his hands and gripped his shoulders tightly.
The force was astonishing; the bones were being squeezed so hard they creaked.
Tanjiro tilted his head back, the veins on his neck bulging, and the flame-shaped markings on his forehead as red as blood.
His whole body was trembling slightly from extreme anger, as if he was gathering his strength!
[How is this possible... How could he have broken free from the Three-Headed Soul-Sealing Technique so quickly?!]
A storm raged in the heart of the executioner, his white eyes filled with disbelief and shock.
He could clearly see the murderous intent surging in Tanjiro's eyes, an undisguised murderous intent and anger.
He tried to pull back the bone blade and break free of the restraints, but Tanjiro's strength was like an iron clamp, pinning him firmly to the spot.
The next second—
Tanjiro suddenly lowered his head!
"Bang!"
A powerful, muffled thud exploded out!
Tanjiro's forehead also slammed hard into the middle of Lower Rank Two's head.
The headbutt was so powerful that it smashed Lower Moon Two's head to pieces.
The remaining two heads of Lower Moon Two stared wide-eyed at the sight, their eyes filled with disbelief.
The next second, those four pairs of eyes turned furious, and the bone blades on their limbs began to swing wildly, pressing down on Tanjiro's body.
However, Tanjiro also noticed this scene. He tried to push away Lower Moon Two in front of him, but the bone blade piercing through his body fixed him in place.
The situation suddenly reversed, and this time Tanjiro was pinned to the spot.
[Oh no, the attack is about to land!]
Tanjiro gritted his teeth, smelling the bone blades pressing down on him from behind, and his blood-red eyes showed anxiety.
However, just as the bone blade was about to strike Tanjiro...
A soft shout filled with anger suddenly rang out!
"Water Breathing - Second Form - Waterwheel!"
A pink figure swept past like a gust of wind; Mizuko had somehow broken free from the three-headed Soul-Slaying Beast's restraints.
Holding her Nichirin Blade, her figure was enveloped by a ring of azure waves, transforming into a spinning waterwheel that slashed fiercely at Tanjiro's four arms behind him with unparalleled power.
"Sizzle—!"
The sound of the blade slicing through flesh and bone was ear-piercing.
The four waving arms snapped off instantly, and the bloodied limbs crashed heavily to the ground with a dull thud.
The two remaining heads of Lower Moon Two suddenly turned behind Tanjiro, their gazes fixed on the standing Nezuko.
Its white eyeballs contracted violently, its pupils churning with indescribable terror, and its mouth opened into a horrifying arc, yet it could not utter a sound.
[She...she actually broke free from my three-headed soul-controlling technique?!]
That's a Blood Demon Art that can make ordinary swordsmen faint and even make a determined demon hunter fall into chaos!
How could this girl, who looks no more than a teenager, have broken free in such a short time?
A storm raged in the heart of the Executioner; shock had completely overwhelmed its reason.
At this moment, Midouzi's eyes were filled with bloodshot veins, and the anger surging in his eyes was almost tangible.
The soul-stirring sound waves just now forcefully dragged her back to that bloody morning.
The stench of blood filled the air; my mother, brother, and sister lay in pools of blood.
Scenes of hellish pain tore at her mind, causing her excruciating agony.
Just as her consciousness was about to be swallowed by fear, Tanjiro's angry question exploded in her ears like a thunderclap.
[I can't faint! Wake up! Wake up!!!]
Midouzi's consciousness struggled wildly in the chaos, her fingernails digging deep into her palms, the piercing pain bringing her back a sliver of clarity.
But when Nidouzi woke up, she saw this dangerous scene.
The hellish atmosphere and the danger Tanjiro faced enraged Nezuko to the extreme.
"You...hurt my brother?"
Midouzi slowly steadied herself, and as the last sentence fell heavily, an even more intense breathing sound came from Midouzi's mouth.
"call!!!!"
"Water Breathing - Seventh Form - Shizuku Ripple Thrust!"
(Alright, our favorite discussion forum is here. This paragraph is still not filler, so don't worry.)
(After reading everyone's comments, I can confirm that they make sense. The story of Doma and Kotoha is not suitable for the main storyline. Therefore, the setting will still be that Inosuke is the heir of the Elysium Cult. However, in order to kill Doma later on... Inosuke will still be the biggest helper. The story of Doma and Kotoha will be placed in the side story.)
(The second one is the breathing technique that everyone has mentioned, which I think is also great, so I adopted it. This does indeed fit the setting that Nezuko has a stronger talent.)
(The third one is what everyone says about Tanjiro's Sun Breathing after he becomes a demon. This should be retained, adopted, and written down.)
(Fourthly, this is how the entire subsequent plot will be changed, especially since characters like Nezuko and Tanjiro will be strengthened, causing their power levels to deviate from the original work. Therefore, the subsequent plot will be significantly different from the original work, especially the power levels of the Upper Moons, which will be increased, otherwise the power levels will be completely inconsistent.)
(Although it will be very satisfying to watch, the feeling of crushing the enemy won't be very interesting, especially since Nezuko and Tanjiro are both gentle and resolute characters. The idea of killing first and then saving them feels a bit strange to just crush them.)
(So, everyone's fighting strength will be increased. As for regrets? Big Brother might still fall at dawn! Although I'm writing this now, I really want Big Brother to live well. However, Big Brother's sacrifice is inevitable, and he is also an important pillar that inspires Tanjiro and Nezuko. But I haven't thought it through yet, so I'd like to hear everyone's suggestions!)
(Alright, enough chit-chat, that's all for today. See you tomorrow! My lovely readers and Demon Slayer fans! Goodnight, sweet dreams!)
