Spider Mountain

The surroundings were incredibly Serenity in the night. After he had traveled some distance from the town, a sense of foreboding suddenly welled up in his heart.

This premonition came from Sister Doma, who was sitting at home.

Although it was late at night, Qiong, who had barely slept, was sitting in her room reading comics.

Most of them were normal comics generated by the system, but when she discovered a few hidden among them, she blushed and said, "System, are you doing this on purpose? Last time I used Yukino to read comics and you gave me Yukino doujinshi, and now you're giving me Sister Doma when I use Sora? Don't give me these strange hints all the time."

[As long as the rules allow, theoretically, anything that can happen can happen over an infinitely long period of time.]

"So... my lifespan is infinite?"

That's how it is at the moment.

Sister Doma's expression gradually became serious. When it comes to lifespan, it's something that can't be ignored. Living forever is something she dreams of.

The rules of the multiverse tend towards balance; nothing is truly eternal. Therefore, even if one were to achieve immortality, on a near-infinite timescale, there would still be an end. Your task is to prevent that day from coming.

"Alright."

That's way too far away.

At this moment, the enormous battery that Rikku made is powering the light bulb, so the room is very bright.

The curtains had many layers, and when drawn, the room was completely dark. But to her surprise, someone knocked on the living room door at that moment.

Bang bang bang!

Qiong hesitated, put down the comic book, and carefully walked out of the room into the living room.

Just as they were considering whether to open it, a sinister shadow suddenly appeared before their eyes, transforming into a girl with bared fangs.

Ghost!

Upon recognizing the creature before her, Qiong's pupils instinctively contracted, and then she saw the creature suddenly pounce on her, shoving her to the ground.

Qiong was so frightened that she tried to dispel the summons, but the other party covered her mouth.

"Excuse me... maybe I can apply for the job here?"

"???" Sister Doma's eyes widened.

"Sorry for coming so late. I heard that they need someone to mind the shop here, so I came to look for a job." She seemed very nervous. After all, to a normal person, it would be abnormal to run into a shop in the middle of the night looking for a job.

Not to mention, the way she entered the house wasn't quite normal either.

After the female ghost let go, the bewildered Qiong was speechless for a moment.

As the other person stared at her, drool soon began to flow, and a large amount of liquid dripped from her mouth, soaking onto Sister Doma's neck.

"You want to eat me, right?" Qiong stared at her coldly.

Kurotama then merged with the original body and quickly returned from outside the village.

The ghost in front of them wasn't very old, about the same age as Sister Doma.

At first, the other person was able to control their thoughts, but as their saliva increased, they couldn't help but want to bite it.

"Marechi, Marechi..."

Indistinct words came out of her mouth.

In the Original Work, some people possess special "Marechi," and demons who consume them gain significant power. Could it be that Sister Doma's body is...?

"Awoo..."

Just as the fangs were about to bite down, Kurotama rushed into the living room and instantly placed a knife against the other's neck.

The main body followed.

At the same time, Sister Doma's body was released from the summoning.

The other party looked completely bewildered. Suddenly, it raised its head, saw the two of them, and lunged forward, turning into a transparent liquid that swiftly merged into the air before reappearing beside its original form.

Puff--

With a Yatsufusa, the Kurotama, severed the other's head.

The guy let out a shriek, covered his head, and retreated outside the room.

The healing speed of the cut area seemed to be affected, a situation that terrified her.

Kurotama dashed out almost instantly.

At the same time, a strange man in black suddenly jumped down from the building next door and brandished a sword, slashing at the female ghost.

But the female ghost dodged instantly, forcibly attaching her head to her neck. Then, her arms, like extended tentacles, grabbed the roof above her head and dragged her entire body away into the distance.

The man in black persisted and gave chase, but before he could get very close to his target, he was struck by a strange blade of energy, and his head exploded.

"Dead?" Su Lin was stunned.

The man's clothes looked familiar; they appeared to be from the Demon Slayer Corps.

Even though he has no real strength, he relentlessly pursues a seemingly powerful ghost. Isn't that just courting death?

"No wonder the anime says that the quality of the Demon Slayer Corps members has declined recently."

Kurotama didn't care about anything else. After merging with her main body, she nimbly jumped onto the house and chased after her target at an exaggerated speed.

With her Combat Type activated, Yatsufusa murmured softly, and the girl's figure advanced a hundred meters in just a few seconds, catching up with her opponent's pace.

With a soft hum, he gently pushed the blade with his thumb, and in an instant, his right hand had drawn the cold, sharp blade, severing the female ghost's right arm in two.

Sensing a threat to his life, the opponent increased his speed again, using the trees along the way to repeatedly fling his limbs dozens of meters away, and Kurotama couldn't catch up with him for a while.

"This guy's condition is probably close to that of Lower Rank."

Especially after seeing the target easily smash a house along the way, Kurotama became even more certain of this.

As the two sides traveled further and further apart, towering mountains came into view.

Chapter 126 Spider Mountain

"This guy's abilities are troublesome."

Not only can it extend its arms and fly like a rubber man, but it can also turn into liquid from time to time, entering a brief state of immunity to physical damage.

I've never seen this Kurotama in the anime. It just goes to show Muzan many nets Muzan has cast over the years. There are just too many unmentioned demons to count.

The forest was getting closer, the dense trees almost completely covering the mountaintop. Just as Kurotama approached her target, about to strike again, several thin threads suddenly wrapped around her body.

"Spider silk?"

With a single slash, he severed the abnormally hard threads, and Kurotama slowed his pace.

"Could this be Mount Natagumo?"

The most brutal battle in the first season of the Demon Slayer anime, fought by Tanjiro, Nezuko Inosuke Hashibira, and the Demon Slayer Corps against Lower Rank Five, seemed terrifyingly powerful at the time. However, with the arrival of the Giyu Tomioka and Shinobu Kocho, Lower Rank Five Rui was easily and effortlessly defeated without any resistance, and his entire family of demons were also completely wiped out without any power to resist.

"Since I'm already here, I might as well take care of this family of spiders while I'm at it."

As for whether it will result in insufficient pressure on Tanjiro and Nezuko, preventing them from breaking through, that's irrelevant. After all, Su Lin is ultimately going to defeat Muzan anyway.

As she approached the mountain, Kurotama saw a boy with orange hair and wearing an orange jacket.

The other person sat on the ground, crying and shouting at a sparrow, "You are not cute at all! Nezuko, as a demon, is so adorable, but you, as a sparrow, are so ferocious!"

"Chirp chirp!" The little sparrow looked at him with disdain, turning her head away and not even bothering to glance at him.

Just then, the orange-haired boy in front of him saw the Kurotama approaching.

"Wow, she's beautiful, a stunning beauty."

With a scream, the boy rushed to Kurotama like a gust of wind, then shamelessly grabbed her arm, knelt on the ground and cried, "Marry me, please marry me, I don't know when I'll die, please marry me."

"..."

After a few seconds of silence, Kurotama slapped the guy hard across the face.

Snap—

"Ah"

The boy spun around in mid-air a few times before falling awkwardly to the ground.

"Waaaaah, you're so cruel! You already agreed to marry me, why did you do this to me?"

Utterly shameless, Kurotama sighed, rubbing her forehead in exasperation. It was definitely Zenitsu Agatsuma. With his dual personality, he awakens an incredibly powerful self in times of crisis, possessing only the First Form of Thunder Breathing and mastering it to its fullest extent. But in normal times, this guy is cowardly, a crybaby, and the kind of person who relentlessly pursues girls, never letting any pretty girl slip by.

Seeing him about to rush forward again, Kurotama grabbed his collar and lifted him into the air. "Hey, even if I had that thought, it would be impossible, because I'm a man!"

"Wh-what..."

The guy's expression gradually froze; he couldn't believe it at all.

"Waaaaah, are you kidding me? How come such a cute girl is a guy?"

"If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do." He easily tossed him aside, his Kurotama eyes still searching the surrounding land.

It can't be found.

The female ghost we encountered before, I guess she turned into liquid and hid somewhere, right?

But it doesn't matter anymore.

Since Zenitsu Agatsuma is here, it means that what happened here today is a major event in the main storyline—the death of Lower Rank Five.

The direct consequence of this was that Muzan became completely disillusioned with the Lower Rank, and killed all the demons except for Lower Rank One, leaving only the strongest few.

Kurotama ignored the guy and charged straight at Spider Mountain with his sword.

"Hey, there's a ghost in there, it's dangerous."

Zenitsu warned her in a panic, but after seeing Kurotama's departing figure, he screamed twice and rushed into the mountains as well.

Unfortunately, Kurotama was too fast and had already disappeared without a trace.

I ran at full speed, and the surrounding scenery rushed past me.

Not long after they advanced, Kurotama saw two corpses of Demon Slayer Corps.

Her right hand involuntarily gripped the hilt of the knife. She continued running for less than ten minutes before she saw two groups of people fighting.

On one side were a shirtless man wearing Pig Head and a boy in a plaid shirt carrying a wooden box, and on the other side were three members of the Demon Slayer Corps.

"Please... kill me... we're controlled by the threads, our ribs are already..."

Buzz—

The three Demon Slayer Corps warriors, one man and two women, performed a move that would be difficult for a normal person to make, slashing their swords heavily at the two people in front of them.

Kurotama's enhanced night vision captured some details almost instantly.

Under the control of the spider silk, the three of them were like puppets, losing their autonomy. Their bones were forcibly broken, allowing them to unleash power far exceeding their original limits.

"Hurry up, stop dawdling. He already told us to kill him. If we delay any longer, we'll all be... killed."

"I'll fall here." The boy in the Pig Head deflected several swords from the Demon Slayer Corps youth and retreated to Tanjiro's side.

"I know, let me think of a way." Tanjiro, who was focused on saving the three, desperately tried to come up with a solution.

But the next moment, they saw a petite figure nimbly approaching from a distance, like a swallow flying low, and in a flash, it disappeared over their heads.

Sizzle

The threads binding the three Demon Slayer Corps snapped simultaneously.

Tanjiro quickly looked at the newcomer and discovered that it was a mysterious girl dressed in black.

The other person had medium-length hair, wore Sailor Uniform of this era, a very short black skirt, and her legs were completely covered by black stockings. Her features were extremely delicate.

From a distance, her slender waist and legs undoubtedly fit male aesthetic standards perfectly.

"Uh... he fell down?" Inosuke Hashibira raised his pig brain blankly, staring at his opponent who had suddenly fallen to the ground.

The newcomers were incredibly fast, not only dismantling the spider silk binding the Demon Slayer Corps members in an instant, but also killing many spiders on the ground in the process.

Kurotama landed lightly on a tree trunk, lowered his head and looked down at the two people below with a smile, "If you hesitate any longer, these three people will probably die without a doubt."

"Excuse me, are you a senior member of the Demon Slayer Corps?" Tanjiro respectfully, sheathing his sword, not daring to show the slightest disrespect.

"No, but that doesn't stop me from killing demons."

Seeing Inosuke's stunned gaze, Kurotama chuckled and turned to continue running in the direction from which the spider silk had extended.
