"What would happen if I became a ghost?!"
"Nothing much, just lost his mind." Asuramaru replied calmly, without any particular emotional fluctuation.
If I lose my mind, will I become a monster?
This thought came to mind.
Yuji Itadori recalled a figure, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Even if I become a monster, with Gojo- sensei around, he'll definitely be able to kill me!"
He has now completely forgotten about Sukuna!
As he spoke, he looked down at the approaching Mahoraga, Yuji Itadori, and knew that he had no chance of defeating this monster.
But he's no longer that innocent high school student! "I want to die meaningfully! To die surrounded by a crowd!"
Please, Asuramaru!!!
Upon hearing this, Asuramaru felt as if he could hear Tanjiro's voice in his ears. The two were not so similar, yet they happened to have many things in common.
It seems I'm experiencing that feeling again!
"I really can't do anything with you. I'll increase your Demon Power output, but that will also shorten the time it takes for you to become a demon! Is that alright?"
"Thank you!"
Yuji Itadori answered without hesitation.
An immense amount of Demon Power surged within him, and he could even clearly feel his muscles tearing as his body struggled to withstand the force!
But it is now more powerful than ever before!
Facing the Mahoraga leaping down from below, Yuji Itadori gripped his twin swords tightly, channeling his Demon Power into the blades to the maximum extent.
"Getsuga Tensho!"
Two jet-black crescent-shaped slashes descended from above, striking Mahoraga's body directly and sending him crashing back into the deep forest below.
It stirred up a large cloud of dust, obscuring everyone's view.
Yuji Itadori's body slowly descended from the air, but his gaze remained unchanged, fixed on the smoke and dust.
It wasn't until Asuramaru spoke up to remind him.
"They're here!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
Numerous trees broke through the smoke and dust, flying straight towards the location of Yuji Itadori, creating shockwaves like cannonballs!
Faced with the approaching trees, Yuji Itadori recalled the memories in his mind, and remembered that figure.
It's as if we've entered a special state.
Tanjiro stood in front of him, demonstrating various sword techniques with both hands, then turned around and smiled gently.
"Those who reach the end of their path will all end up in the same place! There are times when one absolutely cannot back down..."
Have you learned it?
This kind of extreme gentleness was something Yuji Itadori had never experienced before; just looking at that person's smile felt like being in a warm embrace.
Asuramaru also noticed something was wrong, but he didn't know what had happened.
Until the trees came close.
Yuji Itadori finally made a move, his twin swords blazing with intense flames, and his breathing noticeably heavier! "Total Concentration!"
The foul breath he exhaled transformed into raging flames!
"Thank you!"
It seemed to be addressed to Asuramaru, but it also seemed to be addressed to Tanjiro.
At that moment, his demeanor suddenly changed!
His eyes were bloodshot and stained with blood!
Using the Demon Power released from his feet, he charged forward in the direction from which the trees were attacking, his twin swords flashing swiftly and fluidly.
The blazing flames consumed everything!
The towering trees that attacked were rendered useless by the blazing blades.
It only takes one cut to sever it.
Once they reached a certain distance, the flames on Yuji Itadori's twin swords erupted with even greater power, as if he had staked everything on this one strike!
"Burn, Kagura, the Dance of the Fire God — Dragon Sun Halo!"
Hold the knife with both hands and raise it above your head.
The blazing flames on the blade transformed into a giant dragon!
What would you choose in Chapter 140?
The figures overlapped?!
Asuramaru causes pupil constriction!
What concerned him even more was that Yuji Itadori had activated his Demon Slayer Mark at this moment!
The fiery Demon Slayer Mark, burning like the sun, appeared above his right forehead, just as they had in the past!
Meanwhile, Sukuna's expression changed drastically. What on earth happened? Why did this brat's swordsmanship improve so much in an instant?!
Is it made from Asuramaru?
Confusion filled his mind, Sukuna couldn't understand the situation for a while.
Yuji Itadori, however, felt the care from his senior and gripped the blade even tighter, his body spinning and shifting.
They cut down all the attacking trees.
"Head Dance!"
In an instant, they arrived amidst the smoke and dust, and the violent impact dispersed the smoke and dust, revealing the Mahoraga within.
He raised his right hand, Exorcist Sword sprang from his bandages, radiating a rich positive energy that would kill any Cursed Spirit that touched it!
The moment the blades clashed.
Figures crisscrossed.
The Exorcist Sword shattered instantly, and the flaming blade in Yuji Itadori's hand severed its head.
That's it.
The spectators were hot and coughing, and the wine was arrogant and shrewish.
Jogo. He widened his eyes and said, "Geto, I can't block this strike! Let's move the plan forward as soon as possible. We can't give this brat any more time to grow!"
And that brat's summoned Shikigami —any one of us would be doomed if we faced it!
This time.
The text appears to be a jumbled collection of characters and symbols, possibly from different sources. A direct translation isn't meaningful without further context or clarification.
To be honest, he didn't expect to grow so quickly; it was simply illogical.
Perhaps we really need to speed things up!
Seeing this, the Mahito on the other side finally stopped smiling. Looking at Yuji Itadori in the picture, it really couldn't laugh anymore.
At the same time.
Toge Inumaki and the others also witnessed this battle.
However, Noritoshi Kamo's expression was extremely ugly as he recalled Principal Gakuganji's instructions to find an opportunity to kill Yuji Itadori.
Now he only has one question.
Are you serious?
On the other side.
In the next instant, Yuji Itadori swiftly turned around and slashed wildly at the headless corpse with his twin swords.
The opponent's outstretched arm was severed with a single stroke.
Without hesitation, wielding his twin swords and abandoning all other thoughts, he unleashed a frenzied barrage of attacks, slashing Mahoraga's body to pieces.
Even with the support of Asuramaru's Blood Cry and Demon Curse abilities, Mahoraga is still able to maintain a certain degree of self-healing.
Looking at the monster in front of him, which he couldn't kill no matter what he did.
Yuji Itadori, however, felt surprisingly calm.
He even had the mind to ponder the Shikigami's abilities when Mahoraga reattached its head to its body.
The wheel above their heads began to spin once more.
At this moment, Yuji Itadori could clearly feel that the damage his blade could inflict on this monster was much weaker.
At first, I thought it was my problem.
It now seems that this must be the Shikigami's ability, which weakens the power that attacks it each time the roulette wheel spins.
The damage that can be inflicted will decrease accordingly, and perhaps eventually, it will be possible to become completely immune to his attacks...
As the power of the attack weakened, Mahoraga finally found an opportunity to counterattack, delivering a punch directly to Yuji Itadori's abdomen.
It blasted him away.
It crashed through countless trees before finally coming to a stop.
Yuji Itadori coughed up a mouthful of blood, becoming completely listless. He looked down at his abdomen, where a fist-shaped mark had appeared.
Almost all of the internal organs were displaced, and some were even ruptured!
Fortunately, it was quickly repaired. Yuji Itadori struggled to his feet and thought to himself, "Asuramaru, thank you."
In response to the thanks, Asuramaru also offered a word of advice, "You should worry more about yourself. You only have less than a minute left to maintain your Demonification."
Upon hearing this reminder, Yuji Itadori calmly retorted, "If I lose my mind, I'll still prioritize killing Mahoraga, right?"
"That's right."
The answer I received was affirmative from Asuramaru.
"That's enough! I think I should die in a very meaningful way!" Yuji Itadori smiled brightly, gripped the blade with both hands again, and prepared to fight for the last minute of his consciousness!
He roared angrily forward.
"Bring it on!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
Mahoraga, wielding the Exorcist Sword, had already arrived close, while Yuji Itadori was also poised to strike. The two instantly engaged in fierce combat.
Swords flashed and shadows danced, crisscrossing the battlefield.
It was so fast that you could see large afterimages!
However, Yuji Itadori was unable to continue and was caught off Mahoraga, who struck him in the neck with his Exorcist Sword.
If the sword strikes, the victim will be decapitated instantly.
But just as Asuramaru was about to be sold, Sukuna couldn't sit still any longer.
Yuji Itadori absolutely cannot die now!
Suddenly, Sukuna's mouth opened at her neck, biting down on the incoming Exorcist Sword and crushing it with her teeth!
If Mahoraga could speak, he'd probably be cursing right now. What looks like a one-on-one fight is actually a three-on-one brawl!
They have absolutely no sense of martial ethics!
Even though he managed to block the attack, Yuji Itadori was already nearing his limit when he was slammed into the ground by Mahoraga's other fist.
On the cracked earth.
Yuji Itadori's body was deeply embedded in the wound, blood spurting from his mouth, but his gaze remained unchanged.
At this moment, Sukuna finally spoke up, something quite rare for him.
"You brat, now hand your body over to me!"
