He Has an Eighteen-Wing Tattoo on His Back-A Mark? / Marks Are the Inscriptions of Espers
"Huh?"
She was knocked down, and the ball missed her.
"Don't say—!"
Don't be in a daze - that's what Kanae wanted to say, but she found that Aoi was not in the state, her whole body was shaking, and she fell into a complete panic.
In this case, it's pretty bad to be stuck in this situation.
The pupils shrank——
"Flower Breathing Second Style—Misty Plum!"
The incoming ball was cut into eight pieces.
However——
That's a lie!
The eight cut petals should have been scattered to the side, but instead they attacked Aoi in an arc without losing much speed.
It was originally a ball, because after she cut it open, sharp corners appeared, and these sharp corners would pierce Aoi's body fiercely.
Therefore, at this moment, Kanae's brain went blank because of the tragedy that was about to happen.
No, it cannot be blank!
"Flower Breathing Six Type-Wortex Peach"
He twisted his body desperately, turning sideways in mid-air while also swinging out a horizontal slash, forming a whirlpool-like slash that swept across the eight petals.
As a result, seven petals were blown away, and the last petal was unable to stop it and hit Aoi's head.
No——
Poof——!
ah?
Kanae stared blankly at the pierced head.
She was not sad, only stunned, because Aoi's head was not pierced. On the contrary, a head suddenly flew in front of Aoi and took the blow for Aoi.
The weird thing is that this head is the ghost who just threw the ball.
This head also showed a stunned expression, seemingly unable to understand why it was like this.
Bang--!
The sound of a body falling to the ground behind him made Kanae look back in surprise. The headless ghost fell to the ground, and red ice crystals appeared on his body.
It was as if red crystal-like thorns were piercing out of his body.
Behind the fallen headless corpse, a figure with blood flowing from his hands also appeared.
The strange thing is that after its blood fell to the ground, it froze when it touched Oni's blood.
What was even more shocking was that behind this figure, there were corpses on the ground!
A pile of corpses entangled in thorns of blood-red ice..
Chapter 653: He has eighteen wings tattooed on his back, markings?
The scene was extremely quiet at the moment, so quiet that only the weak and painful moans of some ghosts could be heard.
Only then did I notice the ghosts lying on the ground on the mountain road leading here, and other ghosts whose blood crystallized into thorns. Most of these ghosts were not dead yet and were groaning in pain.
They seemed to be trying to pull out the blood-red thorns on their bodies, but the pain prevented them from moving.
If you look carefully, it looks like ice-like freezing, but there is also something like a red-hot iron imprinted on the body, melting the body.
The connection between those blood-red crystals and the skin is like being solidified by high-temperature barbecue.
So, what happened?
Most people were in disarray and had no idea what was going on.
All I knew was that after the ghosts at the bottom of the mountain rushed up, some people were killed instantly, and they fell into panic. Half of the people ran directly towards the back mountain.
But not too far away, it suddenly became quiet.
Looking back, this was the scene.
As for Kanae, who was closest to the ghost rushing up from the mountain, she couldn't see clearly what was going on because she was almost focused on saving Aoi.
All I know is that after Aoi was rescued and came to her senses, the person in front of her was standing right in front of her.
In such a short period of time that she didn't notice, she defeated all the ghosts at the foot of the mountain.
And what he used to defeat the ghost was not the Nichirin Blade, but the punch and stab in his hand, which also looked like a finger pointing to a tiger.
The difference is that this thing has six or seven centimeters of spikes extending out, giving the impression that the hand has grown steel-like claws.
It is a weapon with this shape that breaks the limbs of ghosts.
"Are you Kanae?"
"Huh?"
Kanae was stunned for a moment, then nodded blankly and cast a confused look. Why do you know her?
"I am your brother~"
"Brother, brother?"
She couldn't help but speak out.
Does she have a brother? Is there any?
Ah, it seems that there is. There are older brothers in the original family, but that family does not enjoy any brother-sister friendship.
So, the person in front of me is my brother? It does look familiar.
"Don't you understand? Because your sisters are my lovers."
"Ah? Sister? Lover?"
Kanae remembered it, isn't this the person in Kanae sister's painting?
Those two had such a relationship, so it seemed okay to say he was her brother.
However, Kanae didn't seem to realize that there was something wrong with what he just said.
Then, he looked at the other two people, a girl in a kimono, but they were both younger than Kanae. The youngest girl in a kimono, no, that was a young girl, her age was no more than single digits.
"First meeting, Mr. Bai Yue, I am Hina Tsuyuri"
"I am Ubuyashiki Hinana"
The big one and the small one all bowed politely, the big one was called Hinagi and the little one was Hangnai.
This time Final Selection was hosted by two people.
Yes, just two people, no adults around.
Next time, one big and one small.
Next time, the two youngest sisters will host it together.
The two people present had actually never seen the person in front of them, not even the portrait, but the other person's words did not reveal his identity.
Therefore, the two sisters looked at the incredible person in front of them with curiosity.
They noticed that he killed the ghosts along the way at a very fast speed, and his performance could at least rank among the top three of Hashira-level.
In addition, the other party did not use Nichirin Blade, but ordinary steel.
As for why it caused heavy damage to the ghost, it was indeed the opponent's blood that caused it.
The blood on the fist in the opponent's hand was obviously not from the ghost, but his own.
"You really don't have any guards, so aren't you afraid of death?"
That's what he said, but the person who asked the question - Bai Yue, had already seen it from the reactions and expressions of the two sisters.
As the elder sister, although she is still underage, she is a bit precocious, but it is quite rare for a younger sister to be so rational at her age.
Therefore, what Kanae said is indeed true.
After receiving the ghost attack Mt. Fujikasane, I also found out that my younger sister was also participating, so I rushed over in a hurry.
In the end, it was Bai Yue who arrived first, one step ahead of them.
If the group had stayed together, they would definitely have been unable to catch up.
"No, we are afraid of death, but if something like that really happens, it will also be our fate."
Hina Tsuyuri's tone is also very calm, giving people the feeling of seeing through life and death, but she has been taught by her mother for a long time, and she has become very good at controlling her emotions rationally.
"Fate? Destiny?"
Bai Yue smiled and was about to rub the opponent's head. He found that he still had a jab in his hand and blood was flowing from it.
The next second, the fist in his hand suddenly shattered.
After all, it was not originally made of very good steel and was not carefully crafted. If it was used so intensively by him, it would of course become useless.
In the blink of an eye, the two Oyakata sisters hosted Final Selection again, but not all participated. Five people quit, and the two unlucky ones were killed when the ghosts from the bottom of the mountain rushed up.
One was hit in the head by a ball thrown, and the other was sneak-attacked by a ghost from the back mountain because he was too close to the back mountain.
"Huh?"
"What?"
Be sure to check him carefully for any other injuries. Kanae seemed to be surprised to find something on his back.
As for Kanae, she did not participate again because she was immediately announced on the spot that she had passed.
No one else thought it was a backdoor, because she was the only one who turned around and hit the ball in the first place, while no one else present could hit it.
Everyone realized that this girl was more powerful than everyone present.
Bai Yue Out of the corner of his eye, he also looked at the other one with twin tails. She withdrew, her whole body lifeless, and she was ashamed of her cowardly behavior.
"Bai Yue Brother, brother, there is a mark like a wing on your back."
This is what Kanae was shocked to discover. There were marks of wings on his back, and they were eighteen wings, covering most of his back.
And she was still a little uncomfortable with calling her that, but he just wanted her to call him that, which made her quite shy.
"The mark of the wings?"
Bai Yue was also a little surprised, and it was only after Kanae took out a small mirror to help him look behind him that he saw it.
It's really just tattooed on the back like a tattoo.
"It could be brindle"
Kimono girl Hina Tsuyuri said so.
It seems that he understands his situation.
Stripes?
Bai Yue remembers that "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" does have a setting like stripes. People who turn on stripes will become more powerful.
As for the specific content, he didn't know.
So, listen carefully to what this kimono girl knows..
Chapter 654: Patterns are the markings of superpowers
During the Warring States Period, several swordsmen who cornered Muzan Kibutsuji had markings.
But at first, it was generally not taken seriously.
It wasn't until some subsequent records made Demon Slayer Corps realize that people with stripes are quite unusual.
Demon Slayer Corps has been collecting relevant information in the past few years and found that people with stripes are all capable people and strangers.
In fact, Demon Slayer Corps has had members with stripes since its establishment, but no problem has been noticed.
In addition, Demon Slayer Corps was almost wiped out several times, resulting in no records related to markings.
