Demon Slayer: The Forest Pillar

Fujiki Mountain is not a very high mountain, or rather, it is a small stretch of mountains, surrounded by lavender wisteria flowers, revealing a breathtaking beauty near dusk.

However, hidden under this beautiful scene is the cruelest final selection before joining the Demon Slayer Corps. On Fujiki Mountain, which is full of wisteria flowers, there are an astonishing number of evil spirits. They are trapped in the mountains by the endless wisteria flowers on the side of the mountain, and suffer from extreme hunger every day, which makes all the evil spirits reach the edge of madness.

For the sake of flesh and blood, the evil spirits here dare to launch the most brutal attacks on any human who enters Fujiki Mountain. If you want to join the Demon Slayer Corps, this is the final selection. On Fujiki Mountain, which is full of crazy evil spirits, you must use all means to survive for seven days.

It sounds cruel, but the truth is indeed cruel. In each final selection, only a few people can successfully pass, and almost all the failed people lost their lives in Fujiki Mountain. This is why almost every member of the Demon Slayer Team is brave and fearless, fighting evil spirits with their lives without fear, because in the final selection of Fujiki Mountain, they have already experienced hell.

Steadily walking into the entrance of Fujiki Mountain, there is only one figure standing quietly under the decoration of the shrine's gatepost.

Black Demon Slayer uniform, white cloak with flowing fire pattern, messy but unusually straight golden hair, the ends of the hair are stained with bright red, rough eyebrows and a face full of righteousness, big orange eyes, making people feel like looking directly at an owl, and the most important thing is that this person is filled with a strong aura.

That aura is like a raging flame.

Rengoku Makijuro held the Nichirin sword on his waist and watched Shinichi holding Shiba Inu Enji walking towards him.

"You are? The Pillar?" Shinichi asked in confusion.

Makijuro looked at the boy with different colored eyes in front of him, and was a little surprised, because he could not feel the breath of the ghost on this boy, and the sun had not yet set, but Shinichi who was exposed to the sun did not feel uncomfortable at all.

Everything that Mr. Moriki said seemed to have come true, and Makijuro felt a little emotional.

"Yes, I am the Flame Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps - Rengoku Makijuro, and I accept the order of the lord to be the host of this final selection." Makijuro said, his voice was loud and full of righteousness.

Shinichi looked around, then pointed at himself and said with a smile: "So I am the only one in the final selection this time? For me alone, the strongest force of the Demon Slayer Corps was dispatched. Should I be grateful to the lord for his care?"

Makijuro's thick eyebrows slightly wrinkled. The boy's words were a bit unpleasant and seemed a bit impolite, but remembering the lord's instructions before leaving, Makijuro still patiently explained to Shinichi.

However, Shinichi had heard about the final selection of the Demon Slayer Corps from the old man. He looked up at the mountains that were slowly disappearing into the night and squinted his eyes slightly. "So, do we need to kill all the demons on the mountain?"

Makijuro was stunned. "No, Shinichi Moriki, your deeds have long been circulated among some team members, and the lord is also aware of your strength. In fact, the final selection is meaningless to you, but the lord insisted on letting you participate because the lord promised Mr. Moriki that he would use the most formal way to let the Moriki family return to the Demon Slayer Corps again. This is also Mr. Moriki's request."

Hearing that it was the old man, Shinichi didn't say anything more. He touched the head of Enji in his arms, "What do you need me to do?"

Makijuro walked to Shinichi's side, pointed to Fujiki Mountain and said, "The evil demons on this mountain are the evil demons captured by the pillars of all generations, including the current pillars, from all over the place. They are trapped like livestock. In Fujiki Mountain, the strength of these evil spirits is not very strong, and the most evil spirits will not eat more than three people.

However, every time after a period of time, we will clean up the evil spirits on the mountain to ensure that there will be no evil spirits with too strong strength to interfere with the final selection. So, Shinichi, we want to ask you, this time your final selection is to clear out the evil spirits with too strong strength on this mountain. "

Hearing what Makijuro said, Shinichi stared at a certain place on the mountain and murmured in a low voice: "So, it's a cleaner, right? Then can I ask specifically, what is the standard for being too strong?"

Makijuro: "All those with strength exceeding the evil spirits that have eaten three people will be killed, and the evil spirits with blood demon arts or alien evil spirits will also be killed!"

Shinichi nodded, "I understand." As he said that, he suddenly handed the Enji in his arms to Makijuro. The sudden behavior surprised Makijuro, and he was at a loss for a while looking at the Shiba Inu in his hand.

But Shinichi didn't care about these, and said without looking back: "ThenI'd like to trouble you to take care of Enji for me these few days. He eats a lot and needs to be fed five times a day. If possible, let him exercise for a while after eating. "As soon as the words fell, Shinichi rushed into the entrance of Fujiki Mountain like a sharp arrow.

"Wait..." Before Makijuro could finish his words, Shinichi had disappeared, leaving only the cute Shiba Inu staring at him.

Makijuro didn't like small animals at all, so when he looked at Enji who was shaking his tail on the ground, his thick eyebrows quickly knitted into a pile.

A crow with red feathers on its tail landed on Makijuro's shoulder. After Makijuro whispered something in the crow's ear, the clever crow nodded and flapped its wide wings Flying into the sky, flying quickly in a certain direction.

The perspective turns to Shinichi.

After going deep into Fujiki Mountain, Shinichi clearly felt that one evil and violent breath after another was staring at him, and as Shinichi went deeper and deeper, similar violent breaths and hungry eyes became more and more.

Squeak! With a sudden brake, the deerskin boots on Shinichi's feet left two long marks on the mud. He raised his head, and his eyes of different colors kept scanning around, as if confirming something.

At this time, the sky was completely shrouded in night, and the home court of the evil ghosts was officially opened.

"Too weak! Too weak! All too weak! Even if you go so deep, is it only this degree? "Shinichi murmured in dissatisfaction. The aura of the evil ghosts around him was too weak. Apart from anything else, the evil ghost Karasuma from the past could sweep away these weak ghosts.

Shinichi, who had lost interest, did not intend to waste time here. He raised his foot and was about to go to another area, but at this moment, something strange happened.

In the bushes, an evil ghost with bloodshot eyes suddenly jumped out and rushed towards Shinichi, opening his big mouth with fangs exposed and saliva splashing.

"Meat! I want to eat flesh and blood! ! "
