Besides Weapons, There Are Also Armor (First Update)
"What happened?"
Just as Gyokko Shunpo to the battlefield near Nezuko's side, before she could even make a move, she suddenly realized that her Blood Demon Art had been broken. She turned her head to look at Tanjiro and saw Tanjiro standing next to Hawking.
"It's the human doctor that Lord Muzan was looking for before."
Before this mission, Muzan Kibutsuji had given them the task of finding a human doctor, but they hadn't found anything yet.
Unexpectedly, now that it's no longer needed, it's been delivered to my door on its own initiative.
Just as he was considering whether to capture Nezuko first or go back to deal with this sudden accident, Tanjiro had already rushed over, brandishing his Nichirin Blade.
"That's just asking for death."
One of Gyokko's hands transformed into the shape of a pot, and then sprayed out several large goldfish:
"Blood Demon Art: Thousand Needles, Fish Kill!"
The goldfish immediately shot countless sharp Senbon at Tanjiro, forcing him to dodge and deflect them with his Tanjiro, preventing him from advancing Senbon further.
"Fine, I'll just kill you, you monkey. Although art is important, Lord Muzan's mission is more important."
Then, the other hands of the Gyokko also transformed into pot shapes, aiming at the dodging Tanjiro.
"Blood Demon Art: Ten Thousand Gliding Sticky Fish!"
Ten thousand sharp-toothed sticky fish, capable of devouring a person's flesh and bones in an instant, flew out of the pot and tore at Tanjiro.
These are not like the Senbon that you can just dodge. If you can't kill them all, they will keep chasing and biting your target. Even if you manage to kill them, you have to be careful of the deadly poison contained in their blood.
"Not good."
Tanjiro's expression changed as he watched the swarm of sharp-toothed sticky fish flying towards him. Even with his current strength, it would be difficult for him to deal with all of these fish, even using the Mixed Breathing Technique.
Moreover, Hawking was not far behind him. If he kept hiding, these sharp-toothed sticky fish might attack Hawking, who was unable to Combat Power.
"We have no choice but to fight!"
Taking a deep breath and using the Mixed Breathing Technique, Tanjiro raised his Nichirin Blade.
At that moment, Hawking actually walked up behind him:
"Tanjiro, move aside."
Upon hearing this, Tanjiro instinctively dodged to the side, and immediately a burst of flames grazed his body, burning the thousands of sharp-toothed sticky fish in front of him to ashes.
"Luckily, I have this fan that can breathe fire."
After regaining his footing, Tanjiro, somewhat dumbfounded, looked at Hawking and saw that Hawking was holding a strange fan in his hand.
"Tanjiro, go help the others. I'll deal with this guy. Although I'm not good at fighting, I have a lot of magical weapons, so I should be able to handle him for a while."
Seeing Tanjiro looking at him, Hawking explained with a smile.
The fan in his hand is Six Paths Treasure obtained from the Naruto World, called the Basho Fan. It can ignore Chakra attributes and unleash Ninjutsu that utilizes the five nature transformations of fire, water, lightning, wind, and earth.
These little gadgets are already toys to him, but they're still okay for him to play with at this point.
The main issue is that with Tanjiro's current skill level, the gap between him and Upper Moon Five is too large to provide any real training effect.
Instead of training them, they would be better off helping the Sound Pillar fight Upper Moon Four, or helping Zenitsu Inosuke fight Upper Moon Six. This would allow them to unleash their full potential.
That's why he deliberately took over the Upper Moon Five.
"Mr. Hawking, you..."
Before Tanjiro could voice his concerns, Hawking interrupted him, saying:
"Don't worry, if there's really no other way, don't forget that I can still fly away."
"Okay, Mr. Hawking, you must be careful."
Tanjiro gritted his teeth, turned around and rushed towards Zenitsu and Inosuke. Zenitsu and Inosuke were almost out of Senzu Bean, and if no one helped them, they would be wiped out.
Although the two carried a lot of Senzu Bean, they couldn't withstand the drain of being severely injured every few seconds.
"Oh? A fan that can produce flames, that does look a bit like the one that Hantengu Karaku clone has."
Seeing that her Blood Demon Art had been destroyed again, Gyokko twisted her body and showed an interested look at Hawking.
This human doctor can't fight, but he has a lot of random things in his hands. His water prison was destroyed by one of his weapons before, and now he has taken out a fan that can fan out flames.
This reminded him of the battle he fought against Hantengu during the Upper Moon ranking battle.
That old guy, Hantengu, always seemed cowardly and timid, as if he were the most pitiful being in the world and everyone else was the perpetrator.
In reality, it can split into four clones whenever it is attacked, each with its own abilities. One of them is a fan that can unleash a powerful wind that can Reducto people.
It can also merge its four clones into one, unleashing four different abilities. He was defeated by the combined Hantengu back then.
"But this little bit of ability is no match for me."
Gyokko once again used the Blood Demon Art, releasing a large army of fish monsters that he had modified.
Those fish monsters were all seven or eight meters tall, and just by looking at them you could tell they were quite powerful. They were not comparable to the small, toothed sticky fish that had been there before.
Eat him!
Upon receiving the Gyokko's command, the fish monsters surged toward Hawking as if they had gone mad.
Seeing this, Hawking remained calm and simply continued to wave his Basho Fan fan forward.
With his first wave of the fan, a hurricane swirled around, sending the fish monsters flying and crashing to the ground.
The second gate opened, and a flood appeared out of nowhere, sweeping away all the fish monsters that had not yet gotten up.
The third blast of thunder resounded through the sky and struck directly into the floodwaters. The fish monsters turned red and began to emit blue smoke.
The fourth gate, at this moment the floodwaters disappeared, the ground instantly caved in, burying the cooked corpses of the fish monsters deep underground.
"It's incredibly powerful!"
Seeing Hawking wave his fan and quickly dispatch his army of fish monsters, Gyokko's eyes lit up instantly.
If he gets his hands on this magical fan, he might be able to surpass Hantengu in the next ranked battle.
With a twisted smile on his face, Gyokko instantly Shunpo away and reappeared behind Hawking, reaching out to pierce Hawking's heart.
The pot connected to his body is also one of his Blood Demon Art. It can not only hold the human corpses he collects, but also carry his body for short-distance spatial teleportation.
In his view, while the fan in Hawking's hand was powerful, Hawking himself was incapable of fighting, like a baby holding a gun. He could easily send Hawking to his death if he got close.
But at that moment, Hawking smiled.
"Gold Cloth!"
Instantly, the golden Ophiuchus Cloth completely covered Hawking's body.
Ouch!
When the Gyokko Pot touched the Gold Cloth, it not only failed to pierce it, but also broke its own arm.
Fortunately, he was a ghost, so he could recover from such injuries instantly.
"I forgot to tell you, my stuff includes not only weapons, but also a lot of armor."
Hawking flicked his hand, sending the Gyokko pot flying.
