Having slain all the Shadow Wolves, the exhausted Kanroji braced himself on the ground, breathing heavily.
Looking around, she finally realized what she had done.
"I did it, I really did it."
Her expression grew increasingly excited, and Kanroji Mitsuri's face was filled with smiles.
"Slap, slap, slap."
The sound of applause rang out, Scribe walked to her side, smiling as she spoke.
"Congratulations, Mitsuri, on becoming an excellent Demon Slayer."
"Mister Scribe, did you see that? I can now use the Flame Breathing in battle!"
Kanroji Mitsuri hugged Scribe tightly, bouncing around excitedly like a little rabbit.
"No, it's not the Flame Breathing."
Scribe patted her little head and continued.
"That's not the Breathing Technique that Kyojuro taught you; it's your own unique breathing style."
Hearing what the Scribe said, Kanroji Mitsuri gradually calmed down.
Just as the Scribe said, the Breathing Technique he had just used was clearly different from the Flame Breathing.
So, did you invent a new Breathing Technique?
"Yeah!"
Jumping up happily, Kanroji Mitsuri immediately grabbed the Scribe's arm and said.
"Mister Scribe, please help me think of a name for this new breathing technique."
"How about the Love Breathing?"
As he uttered the name, the Scribe observed Kanroji Mitsuri's reaction.
"The Love Breathing... The Love Breathing... Love."
She repeated the words a few times, then smiled and nodded seriously.
"Alright, from now on, my Breathing Technique will be called the Love Breathing!"
Nodding, the Scribe then turned his gaze to the mother and child.
"You should leave here quickly. Although everything is fine now, who knows what might happen in a little while?"
"Oh? Ah, okay."
The mother, whose mind had been blank, snapped back to reality and immediately nodded her thanks to the Scribe and Kanroji Mitsuri.
She picked up her son and ran outside without looking back.
The little boy kept his eyes fixed on the Scribe, his gaze never wavering.
Just as he was about to disappear from sight, the little boy suddenly shouted.
"Brother, you are the best, I will never forget you!"
The Scribe didn't speak, but just smiled and waved in that direction.
After the mother and son left, the two Scribe began searching for other swordsmen and started a rescue operation.
Soon, all the roaming Shadow Wolves were killed.
After slicing the last Shadow Wolf to pieces, the Scribe looked in one direction.
That's where Kyojuro and Rui are; it's the key to this battle.
"Let's go, let's witness the death of the Twelve Kizuki."
The swordsmen who had just been rescued were still a little scared when they heard that they were going to fight the Twelve Kizuki.
But then I thought, why should we be afraid?
The Scribe is here, after all. The Twelve Kizuki are not something that can be easily killed.
Thinking about this made them feel much more relaxed.
Hurriedly arriving at the main battlefield, the Scribe could see Kyojuro and Rui in the arena from afar.
Rui glanced at the Scribe and others in the distance, and a chill ran through him.
There haven't been any explosions for a long time, which means that all the bombs have been defused.
Just now, the last of the Shadow Wolves deployed around the area was also cut off from its contact.
Now, am I all alone?
A self-deprecating smile appeared on his lips, and then Rui's eyes widened.
Even so, I'm going to drag someone down with me!
He roared to the sky, then called out to Kyojuro.
"Purgatory, let us fight to the death!"
Blood Demon Art * War Wolf
By wrapping all the shadows he could summon around his body, Rui instantly transformed into a werewolf over two meters tall with a robust physique.
A knife made from shadows appeared in his hand, Rui looked at his opponent with a cold and indifferent gaze.
"Rengoku KyoJuro, right? My name is Rui. Let's fight as samurai!"
After saying that, he took a step and rushed towards Kyojuro.
Kyojuro naturally did not refuse the challenge from the demon.
Both charged forward with knives, and the two clashed for the third time.
As time went on, Kyojuro gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.
Humans cannot match the physical strength of demons. Prolonged battles will leave the body covered in wounds, and will also deplete physical and mental energy.
After using "War Wolf Formation," the shadow wrapped around Rui has a stronger absorption ability than before.
He could absorb even ordinary flames, let alone brute force.
Even so, Kyojuro's figure, gripping the sword, did not retreat an inch.
"Die!"
With a kick, Rui sent Kyojuro flying, and before he could get up, he rushed forward.
He raised the shadow blade high in his hand, then slashed down fiercely.
As the sword drew ever closer, Kyojuro's mind began to recall the Flame Breathing he had learned.
As Breathing Technique that has been passed down for hundreds of years, the refinement of Flame Breathing is self-evident.
Although there are only nine moves, each one is the culmination of countless hours of hard work.
The ultimate secret technique is a powerful sword skill named after the family name.
That was a strike that burned with its own soul and life, its power enough to destroy everything.
"Burn!"
Only those three words remained in his mind, and then Kyojuro's body began to move.
Enveloped in raging flames, he charged forward with his sword amidst a deafening roar.
"The Secret Technique of Flame Breathing!"
Chapter 230 The New Flame Pillar, Rengoku KyoJuro
His entire body transformed into a shooting star, leaving behind dark, scorched marks on the ground it passed through.
"Ninth Form * Purgatory!"
A look of terror flashed in his eyes. Before he could react, his head was severed by a single Rui.
The moment Rui's head was severed, the system notification sounded in the Scribe's mind.
"Mission complete. Reward: Soul Reincarnation Artifact *1 has been sent. Please check your mail."
The Scribe was also very curious about this name he was hearing for the first time.
But he knew that now was not the time for observation and research.
"Puff"
He spat out a mouthful of blood, his body unable to move after the full-force Kyojuro.
He stumbled back a few steps, and looked like he was about to fall to the ground.
"Thanks for your hard work."
The Scribe's voice rang out, and then he put his arm around Kyojuro and helped him up.
"You did a great job in this battle, Kyojuro."
Suddenly remembering something, Scribe smiled slightly and changed his words.
"No, he is the future Flame Pillar."
Kyojuro wanted to say something more, but the combined physical and mental exhaustion made it impossible for him to continue.
Everything went black before his eyes, and he subsequently lost consciousness.
At this very moment, on the distant horizon, a ray of sunshine is slowly rising.
The warm sunlight and the fiery red color shone on the Scribe and the others at the same time.
As if he had just remembered something, Kyojuro, who was still unconscious, smiled slightly.
"Let's go home!"
"Yes!"
Kyojuro couldn't remember how he got back.
When Kyojuro woke up, he found himself lying in the Rengoku Family.
Beside her were her parents, her younger brother, the Scribe, and Kanroji Mitsuri.
"It's good that you're awake."
"Brother's awake!"
"Mr. Kyojuro!"
"You're awake. Would you like a cup of tea?"
Smiling Shinjuro, she pushed a cup of tea in front of Kyojuro, and then nudged Scribe beside her.
"Your son has just killed one of the Twelve Kizuki. As his father, you have to say something."
Upon hearing this, Shinjuro fell silent for a moment.
He looked at his son, and finally reached out and hugged him.
"Kyojuro, you did a great job."
A flicker of excitement crossed his eyes, but Kyojuro quickly regained his composure.
"From now on, I will work even harder, Father."
The news of Kyojuro's awakening quickly spread throughout the Demon Slayer Corps. After that, Ubuyashiki Kagaya also sent someone to invite the Rengoku family and the Scribe to a meeting.
Because Kanroji Mitsuri created Love Breathing, a derivative of Flame Breathing, during this battle, she was also invited to participate.
Soon, the group arrived at the Ubuyashiki Family's residence.
The other pillars also arrived early, knowing that today's meeting was very important.
After explaining the matter of the Love Breathing, Ubuyashiki Kagaya praised her.
After hearing this, Kanroji Mitsuri blushed and became quite excited.
"My Master, from now on I will hold myself to the standards of Demon Slayer and will not bring shame to the Demon Slayer Corps!"
"Thank you, Kanroji."
