Gathering Combat Forces / Muzan Kibutsuji Pays a Visit
This is the first time since the policy was implemented that Kasugai Crow has brought back a message.
This means that the issue concerning Ayu has been resolved.
Kiriya Ubuyashiki took out the paper with the message written on it and read it slowly.
"Please listen, everyone."
The message was sent by Amane Ubuyashiki, and it contained a general overview of the Demon Slayer Corps over the past period.
After hearing this, Shinjuro and the others were stunned.
Ah Yu's army turned out to be composed of parasites, and the reinforcements he brought in were blown up by an unknown person.
The Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen were all captured, except for the Insect Hashira, Shinobu Butterfly, who managed to escape.
Upon hearing this, their hearts raced.
But soon, the news that followed was even more shocking.
Tokyo Metropolis was attacked by demons, the emperor was beheaded by the Scribe, and then the Scribe went to Kamikawa Prefecture.
In Kamikawa Prefecture, the Scribe wiped out Ayu's parasitic army and some of Upper Rank Six Dichai's subordinates.
Ultimately, the story ends with Yu's death, the rescue of the Demon Slayer Corps Member, and the departure of the Scribe once again.
"No matter what, the Demon Slayer Corps can't do without Mister Scribe's help."
"We've let him down."
Just as Shinjuro and the others were sighing, Kiriya Ubuyashiki uttered the last sentence.
"According to Mister Scribe, we will soon head to Mt. Sagiri to meet up."
"Hopefully, the Demon Slayer Corps can gather all its forces to deal with this chaotic era."
Chapter 606 Combat Power Gathering
"The Great Chaos Era?"
Shinjuro muttered to himself and asked in confusion.
"What does this mean? What level of combined combat power does Mister Scribe mean?"
"I think it should be all of them."
Yaozai's voice suddenly came; he had already stood up at some point.
"My Master..."
"I'm fine."
Interrupting Shinjuro, Yaozai coughed a few times and covered his mouth as he spoke.
"What the Mister Scribe means is that the Demon Slayer Corps' fighting strength is still too scattered."
"Whether it's us, Amane Ubuyashiki and the others, or the rest, we're all scattered in different places and can't provide support in time."
Yaozai's words left Shinjuro somewhat bewildered and confused.
Fortunately, Urokodaki Sakonji understood what Yaozai meant.
"Does my Master mean to summon us 'trainers' and retired swordsmen?"
"Um."
Upon hearing this, Shinjuro's pupils contracted slightly.
Those who can be called Demon Slayer Corps trainers are mostly retired Pillars from a previous generation.
They live in seclusion in different places, training swordsmen for the next generation and continuously providing fresh blood for the Demon Slayer Corps.
Urokodaki Sakonji, Kuwashima Jigoro is another.
Even after his retirement, he could be called a trainer of the Flame Breathing.
Generally speaking, once a trainer retires, the Demon Slayer Corps will not actively interfere in their life.
Now, however, the task is to reunite these trainers and long-retired swordsmen.
"Things have gotten this serious."
Once he realized what was happening, Shinjuro didn't say anything, but silently pondered and analyzed the current situation.
"I will have Kiriya Ubuyashiki write down the locations of those people's residences and send them over by Kasugai Crow."
"Once Amane Ubuyashiki and the others arrive, I'll trouble you all to entertain them."
Urokodaki Sakonji nodded and said.
"Okay, we'll go prepare right away."
Considering Yaozai's health condition, the meeting ended there.
Soon, letters began to be sent out of the cabin and delivered by Kasugai Crow to the former team members who were hiding among the common people.
Huashan.
A short, elderly woman looked at the letter in her hand and murmured to herself.
"Has the situation in the team gotten this bad?"
"Mister Scribe, I think I've heard Kanae Kocho mention this name before."
"Well, perhaps this is the last chance. Let me make one more contribution."
After saying that, the old woman tore the letter in her hand to shreds.
When she turned around, she saw four or five young faces appear in front of her.
"You..."
"Please take us with you!"
Kosaka.
The middle-aged man, who was strong but missing his left calf, read the letter in his hand and silently tore it into pieces.
He turned around and said to his companion.
"I want to resign. Can you talk to the boss for me?"
"Quit your job? Are you crazy? Where are you going if you don't work?!"
"I am going to fulfill my former duties."
After speaking, the man threw the hammer aside and turned to leave.
Deep in the mountains and forests of Kuan Island.
An elderly man with white hair and beard, and covered in scars, sat on Ishigami, looking at the letter in his hand.
"Haha, so it turns out this old man still has a use for me!"
"My body is still warm; where would I dare not go!"
"Even though I'm no match for the Upper Rank, I still want to keep fighting!"
The old man tossed the letter aside, his eyes lit up, and he grabbed the wooden sword beside him and swung it.
In an instant, a violent hurricane appeared out of nowhere and tore the letter to shreds.
"Let's go, Mt. Sagiri!"
Similar situations occurred one after another, with many people dropping everything and heading to Mt. Sagiri after reading a letter.
They are of different genders, different ages, and different circumstances.
The only thing they had in common was that they had both been members of the Demon Slayer.
Infinity Castle.
"What did you say?"
Upon hearing the news from Hui, Zhenren's eyes widened in disbelief.
"What do you mean, 'A member of our tribe was killed while they were eating people?'"
"How could an ordinary human possibly have the ability to kill a demon!"
Huiren dared not argue with his ancestors and could only speak tremblingly.
"That guy is probably not an ordinary person..."
"According to the information from the parasite of the brain food, that guy's identity is very mysterious. He suddenly appeared seven or eight years ago."
"Although he is missing an arm, his strength is extraordinary, and ordinary adults cannot get close to him at all."
Upon hearing Huiren's words, Zhenren immediately calmed down.
If the information from Brain Food is correct, then there are only two possibilities.
First, this guy is born with superhuman strength.
But even those born with superhuman strength are still ordinary people, and it's impossible for them to kill the demonized members of the Shinri Family.
Therefore, it can only be the second scenario.
"You mean this guy is a swordsman in the Demon Slayer Corps? No, he used to be a swordsman?"
"Yes."
"Nod," Huiren said.
"Many swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps choose to retire or go into seclusion when they are injured or lose a limb in order not to increase the burden."
"They will use their own methods to find new talent and cultivate them."
"These kinds of people are called 'breeders' by the Demon Slayer Corps."
Gritting his teeth, the real man said viciously.
"So, what do you think of this trainer's abilities?"
"I also know about that clansman who died. He was quite strong and definitely not someone that an ordinary swordsman could handle."
After thinking for a moment, Huiren said.
"Based on this, the breeder's strength was at least comparable to that of the Lower Rank."
"Kill him!"
With a loud shout, the real man's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"Anyone who dares to kill a member of the Shinri Family will be torn to pieces! No, they will have to watch themselves being devoured by demons!"
"Sir, that guy has escaped."
"?"
"After killing our people, that guy resigned and left, and nobody knows where he went."
The real person's facial muscles twitched slightly, as if they were trying to suppress their anger.
Just as he was wondering what to say, one of the parasites from the brain food was suddenly teleported over.
"Shinri Masato, Shinri Keito, there is something I need to tell you."
"What?"
"My parasites, who were distributed among the civilians, were mostly killed in a short period of time."
"Who did this?"
The moment the question was asked, the real person already had the answer in their heart.
"Most of them are disabled, but they have mastered Breathing Technique, so I conclude that these people were once swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps."
The parasite spoke calmly, but one could detect a hint of apprehension in its tone.
"Not only that, when I went to investigate again, I found that they had all disappeared."
"It is very likely that they will go to a certain place to gather."
