Anime Crossover: A single ranking exposed the world

Page 156

"I've only heard of it, but I don't know much about the specifics."

"I see. Then I'll start by talking about something from a much earlier time."

These ghosts can only be active at night, feed on humans, and are extremely brutal monsters.

But they fear sunlight; if exposed to it, they will turn to ashes.

As they were talking, one of the girls took a piece of parchment.

It contains various details and illustrations, and looks like something that has been passed down from ancient times.

The description above seems to be about what kind of being the "ghost" is.

"We are the Demon Slayer Corps, and our purpose is to slay demons to protect humanity."

There is only one way to kill a demon: use a Nichirin Blade to cut off its neck.

Another girl took out a knife and placed it in front of Kanzaki Hikaru; the blade was entirely black.

It has an indescribable charm; after all, no man could resist such a cool weapon.

"This knife is made of scarlet ore and scarlet iron sand, both of which are taken from the rocks of the mountain closest to the sun."

It also contains the power of the sun, so only this weapon can slay the demon.

Upon hearing Ubuyashiki's explanation, Kanzaki Teru understood why even completely shattering the head of that nightmare hadn't solved the problem.

Oni are truly troublesome creatures, Kanzaki Teru couldn't help but think to himself.

"Can it only be made into knives?"

"No, it's just because it's made to make it easier to cut off the demon's head. After all, you need to use this kind of steel to cut off the demon's head in order to kill it."

"That's it..."

"Then came Muzan Kibutsuji, whom I mentioned. He was the instigator of this series of tragedies, and the first demon..."

When he said those words, it was the first time that Kanzaki Teru felt a different kind of emotion from him.

"Wait a minute, you're saying he was the first ghost?"

However, Kanzaki Teru's focus was not on that, but on what he said.

Because if Kanzaki Teru remembers correctly, demons have existed since ancient times.

If he was the first ghost, then how long did he actually live?

"That's right, he is the first ghost, living from ancient times to today."

Killing him is the long-cherished wish of our clan. As long as we can kill Muzan Kibutsuji.

No matter the cost, even my life, I would not hesitate.

It's not that he's unafraid of death, but his obsession has long surpassed those fears.

Even if it meant sacrificing his life, Kanzaki Teru felt the weight of his resolve.

"To date, countless members of the Demon Slayer Corps have died at his hands."

And we've never caught him red-handed; we're truly ashamed.

Hearing him say that, Kanzaki Teru understood a little, but that was far from enough...

"Even so, what does it have to do with me?"

"If he can't find you, he'll definitely attack your family and friends."

"It's a pity I don't have any relatives or friends, so if I had to say something..."

My friend is also in a very safe place, so I have absolutely no need to worry.

"Don't you care about other people's lives?"

"Unfortunately, I don't have the heart to save the world; I'm currently being hunted down and barely able to protect myself."

Chapter 243: A Different Kind

"In that case, we can also assist you and protect you."

"Given the skill level of your swordsmen, you might as well give up."

Recalling that the Pillars, who were hailed as the strongest nine, actually only possessed such strength, Kanzaki Teru couldn't help but laugh.

"But you definitely can't refuse this."

"Oh, then tell me."

Hearing Ubuyashiki say this, Kanzaki Teru wasn't particularly interested, but he figured it was better to listen anyway.

"He probably knows more about this world than I do, after all, he's lived for at least a thousand years..."

No, he could be tens of thousands of years old. In such a long historical period, he must have learned a great deal.

What's your reason?

Although he felt that Ubuyashiki's words made some sense, Kanzaki Teru was not the kind of person who would believe whatever others said.

This time, Ubuyashiki nodded towards the outside.

The two girls left the room immediately, showing that even their own family members shouldn't know about this right now.

After the two girls left the room, Ubuyashiki did not speak immediately.

It was as if he was thinking about something, or perhaps making a decision.

Although Kanzaki Teru said that time was tight, there was actually no need to be in such a hurry.

So she didn't urge him, but just waited quietly in place.

To be honest, although he doesn't have any combat abilities, Ubuyashiki has really done his best in other aspects.

Whether it's the way they speak, their manner of speaking, or the way they create the atmosphere, they can all be described as first-rate.

First, pique his interest through conversation, then explain your difficulties to reach a deal.

Showcase your strengths, then adopt a humble attitude.

In addition, the room was dimly lit and had a faint lavender scent.

The scent of lavender can relax your nerves and make you more likely to talk to others.

In dim light, a hormone is produced in the human body.

When weighing reason and emotion, one tends to lean towards emotion, meaning one is more likely to make impulsive judgments.

If everything was part of Ubuyashiki's scheme, then it would be absolutely terrifying.

Just as Kanzaki Teru was pondering, Ubuyashiki finally spoke.

"Actually, I am from the same family as Muzan Kibutsuji, and this thing has been passed down from our ancestors."

He took out a notebook from his waist; it looked even older than the parchment he had just taken.

Although there is a lot of damage, it is clear that this item has been well preserved.

"It contains what each generation of heads has learned, including some information about the structure of this world from the first head of the family."

And this wasn't unusual at the time, so...

"Alright, since you put it that way, I'll choose to investigate you for now. After all, he dared to attack me, so he should at least pay the price."

"Really!?"

Ubuyashiki was somewhat surprised to hear that Kanzaki Teru had agreed so readily this time.

"Of course, you'd better be prepared to pay me, after all, this isn't charity, it's a transaction."

"Okay, of course, no problem, cough cough cough!"

"Hey, are you alright?"

Perhaps due to excessive excitement, Ubuyashiki even coughed violently on the spot.

"It's nothing, I was just a little excited. I didn't expect you to actually agree."

"It's nothing, it's just a matter of each getting what they need."

Even so, I am still very grateful to you.

"Just give me a few more stones to make Nichirin Blades, what I need now is a weapon."

"We have professional swordsmiths, so you can rest assured and leave it to us..."

"No need, what I need to know is not the knife."

"Isn't it that a knife is needed?"

Ubuyashiki was somewhat puzzled when he heard Kanzaki Teru say this, but he didn't ask any further questions.

"Okay, I understand. I'll have someone bring you more raw materials in a bit."

If there's anything else you need, just let me know, and I'll do my best to help.

"Just rest well, and don't die before I kill the demon (Zhao Qian Zhao) Muzan."

Having said that, Kanzaki Teru had no reason to stay any longer.

So he got up and prepared to leave, even though the nine pillars were still staring intently at him as he left the house.

But this time, no one stepped forward to stop them... paper.

"This is really a huge problem for me. The world is so big, where am I supposed to find Muzan Kibutsuji?"

Lying in bed, Kanzaki Teru also felt somewhat helpless.

Although he accepted the request, he was suddenly asked to deal with someone he had never met before.

They didn't even know where the other party was, so even Kanzaki Teru was completely at a loss.

He wanted to go to the underground organization to gather intelligence, but he rejected the idea as soon as it came to mind.

Now, many people there are also keeping an eye on him, so even if he wanted to gather information, he wouldn't know where to start.

However, Kanzaki Teru wasn't in a hurry about this, since it wasn't a problem that could be solved in a short time.

So there are more important things to be done before that.

"What exactly was that dream about?"
