Demon Slayer: The Forest Pillar

Facing the overwhelming frozen clouds and ice crystal attacks, Shinichi and Kanae had to defend themselves.

Forest Breathing·Fourth Form·Dandelion Dance!

Flower Breathing·Two Form·Mikage Plum!

"Damn it! Why are these ghosts so difficult to deal with!?" Shinichi gritted his teeth and stared at the Douma ice men on the battlefield. Although they were small, the blood demon arts they used were almost the same as Douma himself.

The violent attacks oppressed Shinichi and Kanae, making it difficult for them to breathe!

This is not a solution at all. It's just midnight now. Even if they want to delay Douma until dawn, they can't do it. They must find a way to get out first!

Shinichi chopped off the oncoming ice crystals with a knife, but he was caught off guard and his shoulder was shot through by an ice crystal, and there were many small wounds on his body.

Shinichi was already struggling, and Kanae was in an even worse situation. The hand holding the Nichirin sword almost lost its feeling, and her face was frighteningly pale. Her eyes kept turning black. If it weren't for her willpower, Kanae might have fallen down long ago.

But even if the will is strong, the body will eventually be unable to support it when it reaches its limit.

Blood Demon Art: Lotus Leaf Ice!

A Douma iceman suddenly rushed behind Kanae, waving the ice fan in his hand, and several lotus-shaped ice crystals quickly attacked Kanae.

At this time, Kanae didn't even notice the sneak attack behind her.

"Sister! Be careful behind you!" The anxious voice suddenly sounded behind her and instantly woke up Kanae, who was in a black state, "Shinobu!?"

Kanae, who was in a state of shock, turned around immediately and subconsciously activated the Flower Breathing · Second Form Mikage Mei. The cherry-red slash hit the lotus-shaped ice crystal hard. The collision of the two produced a powerful impact force, which directly shook Kanae away.

Although she was a little embarrassed, she managed to avoid this fatal blow. Kanae, who was still a little frightened, quickly looked in the direction where Shinobu's voice came from just now.

As expected, a petite figure, a similar butterfly feather, a small face full of worry and anxiety, and big violet eyes, was Shinobu Kocho!

However, at this time, Kanae's first reaction to seeing her sister was not surprise and happiness, but deep fear, "Shinobu! Don't come over! Danger!!"

Upper Rank Two - Douma's strength is too terrifying. Even if he and Shinichi are both pillar-level swordsmen, they may not be able to escape unscathed. In comparison, Shinobu, who has just been promoted to Class C swordsman, is even less likely to be Douma's opponent.

So Kanae endured the pain all over her body and tried desperately to remind Shinobu loudly, asking her to leave quickly! Get out of here quickly!

But a pair of colorful eyes have already stared at the newly appeared Kocho Shinobu.

Douma raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said in a frivolous tone: "Alala, is there another little girl? The butterfly clothes are very similar, wow~ Are they sisters? It's really rare, but since you are here, let's merge with me together, little girl~"

Swish! Douma's mind moved, and a Douma ice man immediately raised the ice fan and killed Kocho Shinobu directly.

At this time, Shinobu Kocho was almost consumed by anxiety, the upper-rank demon! Her sister and Shinichi Muto might be facing an upper-rank demon!

She didn't know how strong the upper-rank demon was, but within the Demon Slayer Corps, from hundreds of years ago to now, no member of the Demon Slayer Corps had ever been able to kill an upper-rank demon, which shows how powerful the upper-rank demon was.

Shinobu Kocho knew that it was the safest choice for her to stay where she was and wait for support from the headquarters, but the noise caused by the battle between Shinichi, Kanae, and Douma in the distance was too loud. Not only Shinobu, but also many believers of the Eternal Paradise who had always adhered to the doctrine were scared and ran out of the room.

No matter how fast the crows were, it would take at least two or three hours for the support from the headquarters to arrive. Shinobu Kocho, who couldn't wait any longer, finally ran to the battlefield with gritted teeth.

When she saw her sister Kanae lying on the ground with serious injuries, her beautiful big violet eyes were instantly filled with tears.

Blood Demon Art: Scattered Lotus!

Before Shinobu Kocho ran towards Kanae, a Douma ice man suddenly appeared. He did not hesitate to use his ice fan, and instantly a large number of blade-like ice petals shot towards Shinobu Kocho.

Shinobu Kocho's reaction was also very fast, and she instantly pulled out her peculiarly shaped Sunwheel Sword. However, after pulling out the Sunwheel Sword, Shinobu was stunned, because the one blocking her was a little ice man less than half a meter long, something without life, so how could she use her insect breath?

But countless ice petals had already rushed in front of her, and Shinobu Kocho could only bend her body and prepare to take the blow.

But Kanae's figure was faster, and she instantly flashed in front of Shinobu Kocho, and the cherry-red Sunwheel SwordFlying up and down, the sound of ding-dong was endless, and countless ice petals were shattered.

"Shinobu! Go! This is not a battle you can participate in!" Kanae shouted anxiously.

But Kocho Shinobu firmly refused, "No! I will never leave my sister! I want to fight with my sister!" As she said that, Shinobu's body flashed and jumped, rushing towards Douma's little ice man in an extremely graceful and elegant posture.

"Shinobu!"

Shinichi, who was fighting with the little ice man, also saw Shinobu who suddenly broke into the battlefield, and shouted at Shinobu from a distance: "Nonsense! Go! Shinobu!"

Before Shinichi finished speaking, a sharp golden iron fan instantly cut his shoulder, and hot blood gushed out instantly.

The opened golden iron fan covered half of Douma's face, and the half of his face that was exposed was with an evil smile, "Why are you leaving~ Stay here, I will choose the best position on the cabinet for you~"

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Sister!" Kocho Shinobu supported the shaky, oh no, now Kanae has completely lost her strength, and fell powerlessly in the arms of Xiao Shinobu, with scars all over her body.

At the same time, crackle! Suddenly, the sound of icicles condensing came from above the two sisters' heads.

Blood Demon Art·Winter Icicles!

Sharp icicles like spears hung high in the sky, with the tips emitting a creepy cold light, pointing directly at the two sisters.

"Xiao...Shinobu...Let's go..." Kanae said to Xiao Shinobu with her last bit of strength.

But Shinobu Kocho hugged her sister tightly, tears filling her eyes. Although her body was trembling slightly, she was unwilling to let go of her sister. "No! I will never abandon my sister! We agreed to join the Demon Slayer Corps together and kill evil spirits together. We will never abandon each other."

However, such a scene of sisterly love would not move Douma. Dozens of sharp icicles whizzed down in an instant, making a sharp sound of breaking through the air.

Shinobu Kocho closed her eyes, but the pain she imagined did not come. Instead, she heard the sound of her flesh being pierced.

Puchi Puchi! !

Snap! A drop of hot blood dripped on Shinobu Kocho's forehead, and Shinobu Kocho opened her eyes in confusion.

A figure that was not particularly strong blocked her and her sister. One by one, icicles covered with blood pierced his body. His originally pink eyes were now scarlet.

Shinobu Kocho looked at him and was stunned.

"Mu... Shinichi..."

(What are the chances of Shinichi's victory against Douma? (◔ิω◔ิ))
