The Spider Sister Who Tried to Fool Scribe / Spider Father Evolves
'Second Company'
Zenitsu easily severed the Spider Silk that Spider Brother was so proud of, and his body shot upwards at an extremely fast speed.
"Poisonous Spit!"
Seeing Zenitsu rapidly approaching, Spider Brother also took defensive measures.
He gulped down, then opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of thick, dark green phlegm.
A foul stench wafted over, flying directly towards Zenitsu's face.
From that faint hissing sound, one could tell that if one were hit, even their head would probably be corroded off.
However, Zenitsu, with his eyes closed, seemed oblivious and rushed forward without hesitation.
"Triple"
With a leap in mid-air, his body instantly veered to the left.
"Fourth Company"
With another step, I returned to the original direction.
Seeing Zenitsu dodge his attack in this way, Spider Brother was clearly stunned for a moment.
"That's impossible!"
He shouted, completely unable to comprehend how Zenitsu could do such a thing with his eyes closed.
At this moment, Zenitsu had already used his fifth attack.
Using the momentum, he charged forward again, instantly reducing the distance between them to its minimum.
Immediately afterwards, Spider Brother heard a detached voice.
Thunder Breathing * First Form * Thunderclap and Flash
"Six Flashes!"
Chapter 273 The Spider Sister Who Tried to Deceive the Scribe
His body flashed by like lightning, and then the wooden house shattered instantly.
Along with it came the Spider Brother's head.
"I was... beheaded?"
A look of disbelief flashed in Spider Brother's eyes as he watched Zenitsu finish his attack and fall rapidly, and he shouted.
That's impossible. How could I possibly be killed by someone like you?
"Losing is losing, it just means you're not good enough."
Suddenly, an unfamiliar male voice entered Spider Brother's ears.
Then, a huge rock flew by and smashed his head into pieces.
Because he had been beheaded by Zenitsu before, this time, Spider Brother didn't even have a chance to be resurrected and simply vanished.
Watching the Spider Brother disappear into the air, Scribe clapped his hands and then quickly ran over.
He caught Zenitsu as he fell and then examined his body.
Sure enough, Zenitsu showed obvious signs of poisoning.
"That kid is really careless."
With a sigh, the Scribe then shook his head.
However, the fact that he was able to kill Spider Brother on his own already proves his growth.
"Yes, Scribe, sir."
Slowly opening his eyes, Zenitsu, his pupils somewhat dazed, stammered.
"No, I must be dreaming."
"What kind of dream is that? Dreaming about me isn't a nightmare."
With a wry smile on his face, Zenitsu continued to ask.
"Is that ghost dead?"
He regained a slight consciousness at the moment of his decapitation.
Therefore, Zenitsu clearly felt that he had severed the head of a demon with his Nichirin Blade.
"Yes, he's dead. You did a good job."
With a slight smile, Scribe then said to Zenitsu with a smile.
"Now you can rest in peace."
"Really? Then I'll take a short nap, that'll do."
Upon hearing what the Scribe said, Zenitsu gradually relaxed.
His heavy eyelids closed, and his head tilted to one side.
"Rest well. When you wake up, it will all be over."
With Zenitsu on his back, the Scribe then carried him outside.
By observing Tanjiro and the others' footsteps, the Scribe slightly changed direction and headed in that direction.
Soon, he arrived at the side of a stream.
After settling Zenitsu in a relatively secluded place, the Scribe left.
Just as he had imagined, Tanjiro and his two companions were currently fighting against the Spider Father in the stream.
Unlike the original story, the addition of Nezuko significantly increased the pressure on Spider Father.
Therefore, Spider Sister did not leave directly, but stayed here to provide assistance using her abilities.
"Water Wheel!"
With a loud roar, Tanjiro then brandished his sword and glared intently at Spider Father.
However, the opponent actually raised his right arm and blocked the sword technique.
With a snap, the Nichirin Blade that had pierced Spider Father's arm was stopped there.
"So hard!"
Tanjiro was slightly taken aback when he saw that his attack had failed to sever the opponent's arms.
Then, he sensed a gust of wind coming from a fist.
Tanjiro quickly jumped back to create distance, thus dodging the opponent's attack.
Following him, Inosuke and Nezuko also unleashed their sword techniques one after another.
Unfortunately, like Tanjiro, their attacks could only sever a part of the opponent's body, not completely cut it off.
Such injuries would be fully healed by a powerful demon in a short time.
With Spider Sister's assistance on the side, they were even more difficult to deal with.
Inosuke forcefully pulled the knife out of the Spider Father's arm, and then saw a huge bundle of white spider silk hurtling towards him.
"Go to hell!"
The Spider Sister on the other side of the river laughed and used her Spider Silk to smash his head.
She didn't expect this attack to kill him; as long as she knocked Inosuke unconscious, she could bind him.
Only then will my abilities truly come into play.
"Dad, don't let them get out of my web!"
She shouted at the Spider Father, and then produced more spider silk.
Upon hearing his "precious daughter" call out, the Spider Father also shouted back.
"No problem, I won't let these guys hurt my family!"
Immediately afterward, Spider Father picked up a rock from the riverbed and threw it at Tanjiro and the others. (Reading by Lara)
They quickly unleashed their sword skills, and together Tanjiro and the other two cut the boulder into pieces.
Just then, the Scribe's voice appeared.
There's no need to confront him head-on.
Upon hearing the voice, the three of them immediately turned around and looked behind them.
"Mister Scribe!"
Upon seeing that it was indeed the Scribe, the group was overjoyed.
"Don't get excited, let's talk after you've finished fighting."
With a chuckle, Scribe pointed to a few trees not far away.
"Friendly reminder: stationary targets are much easier to hit than moving targets."
Tanjiro instantly understood what the Scribe meant and called out to Inosuke.
"Inosuke, please stop those two guys!"
After saying that, he and Nezuko exchanged a glance, and then he rushed out.
One of them ran to a tree, and the brother and sister simultaneously unleashed their sword techniques.
"Water Breathing * First Form * Modified * Horizontal Water Wheel"
Two beams of light flashed, and with a crackling sound, two tall trees snapped at their base.
Upon hearing the sound, Inosuke immediately jumped back and retreated.
The Spider Father, a beat too slow, looked at the dark shadow at his feet and then raised his arms high.
However, the force generated when the two giant trees fell clearly exceeded his expectations.
"Bang!"
The giant log crashed into the stream, sending up a spray of water like a fountain.
The Spider Father was also crushed under the two pieces of wood.
Seeing her "father" being overpowered, Spider Sister instinctively had the idea of leaving.
But before she knew it, Scribe had already blocked her path.
Now, let's have a proper talk.
With a slight smile, Scribe looked at the "girl" in front of him, who was no more than ten years old, and spoke gently.
"If you can share some interesting information, it might improve things."
"I don't know anything, please believe me!"
Upon realizing that her escape route was blocked, Spider Sister did not hesitate at all and immediately knelt down on the ground.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and her expression was one of utter grievance and helplessness.
"They forced me to come here. I haven't eaten a single thing. Please believe me!"
However, after hearing her say that, Scribe sighed.
"Lying is a bad thing."
Chapter 274 Spider Father, Evolution
"A lie?"
Hearing what the Scribe said, Spider Sister was stunned for a moment.
"Does he know my background?"
A bead of cold sweat appeared on her forehead. She subconsciously swallowed and then slowly spoke.
"How could that be? Ever since I was captured here, I've been subjected to all sorts of insults from the other ghosts. They even said that if I didn't behave, they'd make me sunbathe."
