"I can assure you that I will not harm your life when you see the Mister Scribe."
"Scribe? What are you trying to do?!"
"That's a secret. You'll find out when you get there."
As he spoke, Shinri Masato looked at Jikan and Karaku.
Nodding, the two demons then walked towards Tamayo and the others.
As the demon continued to approach her, Tamayo's heart was filled with despair.
"Scribe, where are you?"
Chapter 543 Tamayo is arrested
"!"
As the Scribe sped along, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart, then looked up and gazed into the distance.
At that moment, he felt as if he had lost something important.
"Tamayo, you must stay safe and sound."
Feeling a little anxious, I quickened my pace.
By the time he returned to Tsukishiki Pharmaceuticals, it was already the next day.
Even before getting close, one could see the mess on the ground.
Burning flames, ruined buildings, and countless civilian remains.
Those who were just getting by yesterday have turned into cold corpses overnight.
No one in sight was spared.
Such a horrific scene was no different from a battlefield.
"The Shinri Family!"
Gritting his teeth, Scribe's eyes flashed with an unprecedented killing intent.
Such a large-scale and unregulated massacre could not possibly have been intended to provide food for the demons.
To silence them!
Delaying time and distracting!
Apart from this reason, the Scribe could not think of any other explanation.
The violent heaving of my chest gradually subsided after a while.
He stomped his foot hard on the ground and sped forward.
Finally, the Tsukishiki Pharmaceuticals building came into view.
The once proud headquarters now only has its lower half remaining.
The upper part had been smashed to pieces, the raging flames had not yet died down, and the air was filled with the smell of burning.
"Tamayo! Where are you? I'm back!"
His gaze darted around, and the Scribe called out loudly, searching for his family.
"Yushiro, Koinatsu, Koume, Gyutaro!"
The sound echoed and lingered for a long time.
"Sir, clerk~"
Finally, after the Scribe kept calling out, a faint voice reached his ears.
"Koume!"
With a flash, he ran towards the direction from which the sound came.
Before long, a ruin made up of house fragments appeared before our eyes.
Koume's voice came from below.
"Wait for me, I'm coming!"
Grab a piece of debris about half the size of a bed, throw it forcefully, and it flies away.
The ruins that would have taken ten people half a day to clear were cleaned up by the Scribe in just a few minutes.
When the smoke cleared, a door made of steel appeared on the ground.
"Basement?"
After confirming that no one else was around, the Scribe grabbed the iron gate, pulled it open, and then crawled inside.
After closing the iron gate, he walked inside.
The dim, yellowish light was somewhat eerie, and it would occasionally go out for a moment.
Water seeped out of the surrounding walls, and some moss grew on the ground.
Within Tsukishiki Pharmaceuticals, only a few, such as Tamayo, knew of the existence of this basement.
It was originally intended as an emergency measure, but I never expected it would actually come in handy.
At the end of the corridor, the Scribe saw two figures.
"Koume! Gyutaro!"
His pupils contracted after recognizing the other person.
The powerful siblings are now facing a precarious situation.
At this moment, Koume was leaning against the wall, her face covered in blood and grime, and she was exhausted.
Her once radiant skin became dull and lifeless, and her body was covered with cracks like broken porcelain.
Gyutaro's situation is even more serious; he is no longer recognizable as a human, his entire body covered in a sludge-like substance.
If it weren't for the occasional tremors, the Scribe would probably have thought he was dead.
When she saw the Scribe arrive, a glimmer of light appeared in Koume's eyes.
"Scribe, sir, I'm so sorry."
"What's wrong? Tell me, what exactly happened here!"
Scribe quickly stepped forward and embraced Koume, ignoring the dirt on her body.
"We have been defeated, and we have disappointed you."
She spoke weakly and listlessly, and it took Koume a long time to tell Scribe what had happened last night.
In that battle, even though Gyutaro and Koume fought with all their might, the difference in strength between the two sides was still too great.
After struggling desperately, the brother and sister were defeated and captured.
Perhaps to provoke the Scribe, Dichai suggested that no one be left alive except for Tamayo.
Aside from Shinri Masato Gyokko, Gyokko and Hantengu agree with this.
Just then, Tamayo suddenly erupted.
She, who used to be unassuming, has surprisingly displayed combat power no less than that of Upper Rank Moon!
The sudden turn of events Shinri Masato somewhat off guard.
Even so, one Upper Rank fighter is not enough to change the overall situation.
Ultimately, Tamayo, trapped in a desperate situation, used her Blood Demon Art, the Bewitching Blood *Visual Dream Fragrance, to forcibly bind the four Upper Rank.
Taking this opportunity, Koume and her friends were able to escape in two separate groups.
"Tamayo, Miss, has been captured by them."
Two lines of clear tears slid down her cheeks, and Koume curled up, her body twitching slightly.
"I promised you I would protect Miss Tamayo, but..."
"That's not your fault."
Scribe gently stroked Koume's head and softly comforted her.
"You did a great job. Don't worry, I will go and rescue her."
"Please, thank you."
"Now, you should get some rest."
After saying that, Scribe cut his wrist and placed it to Koume's lips.
The fragrant blood flows down the throat through the mouth and finally reaches the stomach, transforming into endless energy.
The nutrients from Rare Blood, the strength from a robust physique.
Even for Koume, who possesses the strength of Upper Rank demon, drinking the blood of the Scribe has countless benefits.
Koume, who was already at her peak, now ingested a large amount of nutrients.
An overwhelming sense of exhaustion overwhelmed her, and she slowly closed her eyes.
His tense body relaxed, and something slipped from his arms to the ground.
"What's this?"
Looking at the test tube, Scribe shook it a few times and discovered what liquid it contained.
Something that Koume values so highly must be extremely precious.
With that thought in mind, the Scribe carefully put the test tube away.
After settling the sleeping Koume down, the Scribe fed some blood to Gyutaro using the same method.
After receiving nutrition, Gyutaro's body began to gradually recover.
Although it is unknown when he will wake up, once he does, having overcome the life-or-death ordeal, his strength will surely experience a leap forward.
"I'm leaving."
Standing up, the Scribe looked at the brother and sister and said softly.
"When you wake up, Tamayo will come back too."
"Let's rebuild our family after we find Koinatsu and Yushiro."
A hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly wiped away by Scribe.
What remains is only an unbreakable fighting spirit and an unquenchable rage.
The Shinri Family will pay the price of annihilation for their actions!
Chapter 544 She is my wife
After leaving the basement, the Scribe used a pile of rubble to cover up the iron gate.
Once Koume and Gyutaro regain their strength, this obstacle will be no obstacle for them, and they will be able to break through it easily.
As for where Tamayo was taken, the Scribe already had a decision in mind.
Last night's battle was led by real people, which is enough to reveal some clues.
Moreover, apart from Shinri Masato, the remaining three Upper Rank have no power of their own.
They couldn't possibly take Tamayo to the Infinity Castle to imprison her, so the Shinri Family was their only option.
First destroy Shenli, then execute Ayu!
Having determined his destination, the Scribe set off towards the city where the Shinri Family lived.
Not long after he left, a dozen or so figures suddenly appeared in front of him.
The leader was none other than one of the three Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps.
Water Hashira, Tomioka Giyu, Flame Pillar, Rengoku KyoJuro, and Insect Hashira, Shinobu Butterfly.
Many familiar faces followed behind them.
Aside from Tanjiro and the others, the rest of them are also quite strong, at least at the C-rank level.
