Anime: Re:Zero - Jobless Reincarnation

Iguro Obanai's implication was that he also wanted to test Roya's strength.

Luo Ya raised his eyebrows and secretly clicked his tongue. He was such an easy-going person, but he was challenged by two people right at the beginning. It would be a bit embarrassing if he didn't teach them a lesson.

Iguro Obanai suddenly asked, "I heard your Nichirin sword is broken?"

Luo Ya nodded and said, "It's okay, my fists are pretty powerful too."

After saying that, he showed off his arms which didn't have much muscle.

Iguro Obanei glanced at Roya and nodded.

Luo Ya also discovered that these pillars were basically all problem children, three of them were cold-hearted, and one was violent and angry.

Fuzukawa Shiya showed his sharp teeth and smiled: "What's wrong? Are you scared?"

Luo Ya glanced at Fushigawa Shiya and Iguro Obanai and said, "Don't accuse me of bullying. Come on together, okay?"

Engoku Kyojuro's originally cheerful expression suddenly turned extremely serious. He took a step forward and tried to block the three people. At the same time, he raised his eyes to Ubuyashiki Yoya and said, "My lord, won't you stop them?"

Ubuyashiki Yoya was silent for a while, and after a quick glance, he found that most of the pillars had curiosity in their eyes. Ubuyashiki Yoya said, "Well, let's have a competition. Let me see the strength of this Sound Pillar."

Ubuyashiki Yoya's words served as a reminder to everyone.

Fuzugawa Shima sneered and said, "The Sound Pillar, no wonder he is so arrogant. However, you are a newcomer, you may not understand the status of the Demon Slayer Corps."

Luo Ya said directly: "Do you want to fight? You two come together."

Fushigawa Shima was directly angered by Roya's words, his fists were clenched and made a crackling sound, and his beast-like eyes seemed to want to devour Roya.

Luo Ya waved his hand and said, "So, shall we start?"

Iguro Xiaobanei nodded, and the white snake hanging around his neck spit out its tongue.

Fuzugawa Miyabushi stopped talking nonsense and rushed directly towards Roja. He did not use a sword. Although almost half of the combat power of the Demon Slayer Corps members is in the Nichirin Sword, since the opponent did not have the Nichirin Sword, it would be difficult for him to use the weapon.

If you use weapons, there is nothing to be proud of even if you win.

But even if Fuzugawa Miya had no intention of using weapons, Iguro Obana had already touched the Nichirin Sword.

Iguro Obanai is different from Fushigawa Miya, he has heard of Roya's deeds.

When he was trying to kill Upper Rank Three, the Nichirin Sword broke. The opponent simply threw the sword away and used his fists to beat Upper Rank Three until he doubted his life.

Regardless of whether the Upper Three are strong or not, Roja's strength is unquestionable just by using his physical body to fight against the Upper Three.

Iguro Obane was indeed somewhat curious about Roya's strength and wanted to come over to test his level, so he made a few probing remarks, but this did not mean that Iguro Obane would underestimate the enemy.

So even if the opponent has no weapons, Iguro Obanai also plans to use his Nichirin Sword.

His hand subconsciously touched the Sun Blade hanging at his waist. The Sun Blade owned by Obanai was a curved snake-shaped double-edged blade with a purple blade and a snake pattern carved inside the round blade.

Iguro Obanai's breathing technique and this sword technique are the same as his Nichirin Sword, both of which can make the sword path bend like a snake. And it is precisely because of the precision of the sword that the sword technique of snake breathing can be changed freely. By honing the skills to the limit, it is possible to easily pass through narrow gaps and perform a "winding" attack.

Unfortunately.

He still underestimated Luo Ya.

When Fushigawa Minoru rushed towards Roya, Roya had already grabbed Fushigawa Minoru's wrist before Iguro Obanai was unsheathed. Fushigawa Minoru was also stunned by Roya's speed.

Then the next moment, the world was spinning, and an irresistible force was pulling him directly. The force was so great that he could not resist at all. He suppressed his surprise and stretched out his right hand to hit Luo Ya in the face.

But just as Fushigi Miyabi was about to move, a hand grabbed his outstretched left hand in advance, and the powerful force pulled him directly and smashed him towards Iguro Obanai's position.

Iguro Obanai's expression showed a moment of surprise. He thought that Fushigi Sane would lose. After all, Fushigi Sane's best skill was breathing technique, and his own quality could definitely not be compared with Roya's. But he did not expect that the other party would be defeated so quickly.

Iguro Obane cursed Fushigawa Minoru as an idiot, took a deep breath, and prepared to use breathing techniques to avoid Iguro Obane before attacking Roya.

But when Iguro Obana dodged Fushigi Miya, his expression froze.

The opponent had already disappeared from the spot, and Iguro Obanai, who had lost his target, began to look around.

But the snake hanging around his neck suddenly turned its head and spit out its tongue.

Iguro Obane suddenly retreated backwards and blocked with the Sun Blade in front of him. Roya stood behind Iguro Obane without knowing when, and at the same time, he threw a punch at Iguro Obane.

The powerful force directly caused Iguro Xiaobanei's blood to boil. Even though he protected himself and blocked the punch at the most critical moment, Iguro Xiaobanei still felt uncomfortable for a while.

Luo Ya was surprised at this time. He looked at the snake hanging on Ihei Xiaoban's neck and seemed to be thinking about something.

After Iguro Obana was knocked away by a punch, Fushigi Miyabi, who was thrown into the corner, stood up again.

The fighting moves between the two seemed like a lot, but in fact they only happened in an instant.

The speed was so fast that even the pillars could only see Roya's blurry afterimage.

Fuzugawa Shima covered his arm and yelled at Luo Ya: "Asshole, stop looking down on me!"

Luo Ya turned around curiously and said to Fuzugawa Shiya: "I don't look down on you, who was the first to provoke you?"

Fushigawa Shiya choked, but then continued to roar: "Show all your strength, you still have a lot hidden, right?"

Luo Ya smiled and took a few steps forward, staring at the other person with his red-gold eyes. As he walked, Luo Ya asked, "Are you sure?"

The next moment, Roja's figure disappeared from the spot. Fushigawa Shima's pupils suddenly shrank, and he kicked hard behind him.

But the kick missed.

Luo Ya's handsome face showed a half-smile and said, "I'm here, huh? Young man, you need to practice more. You can't kill an upper-rank rank just like this."

The view turned again, the world turned upside down, and Fushigi Miya was picked up by Roya again and slammed to the ground.

Of course, Luo Ya did not use much strength, he just made the opponent lose his fighting power for a short time. After all, it was just a sparring match, there was no need to be so cruel.

Fushigawa Miya looked at the blue sky and white clouds in confusion.

The birds on the trees in the courtyard were chirping, and the ferocious expression on Busei's face actually calmed down.

After dealing with Fushigawa Shima, Roya walked towards Iguro Obane and said to him, "Your snake is very interesting, but you can't keep up with my speed now, right? Even with your snake's tip-off."

Iguro Obanai fell into silence. He was a man of few words. Finally, he nodded and said, "You are very strong. I am not as good as you."

Putting the sword back into its sheath, Iguro Obanai accepted defeat sincerely this time. It is not shameful to admit defeat when you cannot win.

Ubuyashiki Yoya nodded, and a smile appeared on his slightly scarred face. He said to everyone, "Well, I think everyone has understood the strength of the Sound Pillar."

The eight people present looked at each other, and except for Fushigi Miyako who was lying on the ground, they all nodded.

Ubuyashiki Kazuya's tone was very gentle, and he always spoke with a natural sense of friendliness. Just by opening his mouth, he could dissolve the slightly tense atmosphere around them.

Luo Ya walked forward, walked to the corner, helped Fushigawa Shiya up, gave him a sunny smile and said, "Are you okay?"

Fushigawa Shiya snorted coldly, did not take the hand that Roya extended, and struggled to stand up from the ground.

Luo Ya was not embarrassed. He took back his hand and greeted everyone with a smile: "My name is Luo Ya. Please give me your guidance in the future."

The other eight pillars looked much calmer and nodded to Roja, which was considered as their recognition of his strength.

Rengoku Kyojuro waved his hand happily at Luo Ya and said, "Good-looking boy, your strength is so strong. We must have a competition with each other then."

Roya nodded.

Ubuyashiki Yoya coughed to interrupt the conversation. He looked around at everyone and said in a calm voice, "I believe that you all know what happened when I called everyone together this time. Yesterday, two upper-rank positions that had not been replaced for a hundred years disappeared at once. It was exclaimed that a hundred years was impossible. In the past two hundred years, countless people died at the hands of the upper-ranks. One after another, the pillars fell in front of them, but even so, no one could kill the upper-ranks. But now, the appearance of the Sound Pillar has given us hope, the hope of killing Muzan."

Ubuyashiki Yoya paused and continued, "This is good news. We have gained a more powerful swordsman, and the other side has also lost two upper rank swordsmen, one of whom is even the third upper rank swordsman. I believe that in our generation, we can resolve this grudge that has lasted for thousands of years."

The pillars present all showed excitement on their faces. In fact, when it came down to it, all the people present were deeply poisoned by ghosts and monsters.

Ghosts and monsters don't think so much when they eat people. Over hundreds of years, they have successfully created one tragedy after another.

Ubuyashiki Yoya gave everyone time to digest the reaction, and then said to everyone again: "It's just that this incident is a bit big, Muzan Kibutsuji will definitely take action, and it's time to strengthen the guards in the next few days. Here, you are all top swordsmen in your respective breathing styles, and we are very lucky for you recently."

Then Ubuyashiki Yoya took a thick book from his wife and began to explain to everyone the places where the ghosts had appeared recently.

Currently, the pillars are mostly discussing areas where demons appear, Muzan's current location, Muzan's movements, as well as the next generation of pillars, and the overall discipline and power balance of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Roya scratched his head. Apart from the location of Muzan Kibutsuji, which interested him a little, he was not very interested in the others.

In fact, the positions of Muzan Kibutsuji and the Twelve Kizuki are constantly changing. Only one direction can be determined, and there is only one truly useful piece of information.

That is [Infinite City].

Compared to the movable ghosts, the location of the Infinite City is much more obvious.

Mugen Castle is the castle in an alternate dimension where the ancestor of demons, Muzan Kibutsuji, lives. This place can be said to be the home ground of demons. In fact, no member of the Demon Slayer Corps in history has been able to reach this place.

Roja had originally intended to challenge all the Upper Moons and Muzan directly. With Muzan's steady and cautious character, it was highly likely that the final battle would be fought in the Infinite Castle. The map of the Infinite Castle itself was quite large. If Roja just rushed in headfirst, even though an Upper Moon Three and an Upper Moon Five would die, it would still become very difficult.

Once Muzan Kibutsuji knew Roya's true strength, he would most likely choose to escape thousands of miles away.

Muzan Kibutsuji does not have the dignity of being a strong man, all he desires is eternal life.

Whenever he encountered an opponent he couldn't beat, he would choose to run away, and then rely on his lifespan to outlast the opponent, successfully explaining what it meant to survive.

After Ubuyashiki Yoya assigned tasks to everyone, he looked at Luo Ya who was doing nothing, coughed lightly and said: "Luo Ya, I may regret the previous agreement."

Luo Ya raised his eyebrows slightly, looked up at Ubuyashiki Kazuya, and just stared at him without saying a word.

Ubuyashiki Yoya showed a headache expression and said bluntly: "You also know that our Demon Slayer Corps is seriously insufficient in strength. I still hope that a swordsman like you can take on some responsibilities."

Luo Ya nodded and said lightly.

The other pillars all looked at him curiously.

Some of the pillars knew about Roya's past, until Ubuyashiki Yoya opened a big back door for Roya. At first, they felt that giving the other party a privilege was a bit too much, but they thought that even without a yellow-haired kid, there would not be much loss. But now it seems that if Roya is really left idle, it really feels like a waste.

This is not a problem that can be solved by simply saying "you don't want to do it". Some of them can be solved by just doing it.

In fact, if the Pillars really face the Upper Moons, there is a high probability that they will die.

It is easy to imagine how important it is to have a fighter who can kill two upper-rank warriors alone.

If a pillar acts alone and encounters an upper-rank star, he will most likely be killed. However, if there are two pillars, the risk can be minimized, and at least there will be no problem delaying it until dawn.

Ubuyashiki Yoya continued, "So, what do you want as compensation?"

Roya actually expected this result. He showed his potential too quickly, the current pillars have not grown up yet, and the original Love Pillar has not appeared yet. If he still backs down in this situation, the Demon Slayer Corps will really have a headache.

Luo Ya thought for a moment and said to Ubuyashiki Yoya, "I want to bring my relatives here to settle down. After all, you know that Muzan Kibutsuji will definitely take me as his first target. This time, those two upper rank demons are also coming for me."

Ubuyashiki Yoya raised his eyebrows slightly, and the other pillars also showed strange expressions. Ubuyashiki Yoya asked curiously, "It's coming for you."

Luo Ya nodded and roughly explained the cause and effect of the matter. Suddenly, everyone's expressions became extremely interesting.

Muzan Kibutsuji sent two Upper Moons to kill Roja, but they were killed by Roja in the end.

How to say it, it's a bit abstract.

Ubuyashiki Yoya sighed, nodded and said, "In that case, let's take them over. Although this is a bit against the rules, where do you want to place them? Here?"

Luo Ya nodded and said, "Please arrange a more remote room for them, as long as it is within the security range. I don't want them to be attacked by ordinary ghosts. After all, they are still ordinary people."

Ubuyashiki Yoya smiled warmly, waved to his wife beside him, took out a map from her hand, pointed, and said, "Where do you want to go?"

Roya said without hesitation: "Let's go to the area where I killed the upper rank. This matter is definitely not over yet. Muzan Kibutsuji will most likely send people to investigate. I will wait there and maybe I can catch another upper rank."

Ubuyashiki Yoya fell into silence. What Roya said made sense, but the problem was, from Roya's tone, killing an upper-rank rank was as easy as eating and drinking.

The other pillars looked at each other. Ubuyashiki Yoya was silent for a moment, then he looked at Kocho Shinobu and said, "Then, Insect Pillar, you will patrol with the Water Pillar, and you will be in charge of that area, Roya. Of course, you will not only patrol, but also help if there are ghosts invading or other pillars requesting assistance."

Luo Ya nodded to show that he understood.

Ubuyashiki Yoya continued, "Please wait for a while. I will send someone to bring the Sun Blade to you. In the meantime, you can just use this Sun Blade for now."

After saying that, Ubuyashiki Yoya waved his hand, and a member of the Demon Slayer Corps walked out. He took out a sword that was 80% similar to the Nichirin Sword that Roya had used before, and presented it to Roya respectfully with both hands.

Luo Ya said "oh" and held the knife to test the feel. It was good for killing ghosts, but the actual effect was very average.

Roya couldn't help but frown when he thought of the Sun Blade that was cut off when he killed Upper Rank 3. It seemed that he had to find a way to get a better weapon.

Although I have the magic sword and am not very dependent on the sword, it is indeed very important to have an excellent weapon.

Five thousand words.

Oh, I forgot to wish you all a happy new year.

happy New Year to all!

oooo~

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 134 Shifting Position

Given the material of the Sun Blade, it is undeniable that it is destined to not be able to reach a very high level.

If it weren't for the fact that the Nichirin Sword had the ability to cut off demons, Roya wouldn't even look at the Nichirin Sword.
