" Teiichi, you can continue."
Kagaya Ubuyashiki looked at Teiichi and said.
Teiichi nodded and continued:
"It's not that I'm underestimating you all. Upper Rank Two is indeed quite special. His Blood Demon Art can create a large-scale ice mist to cover the entire battlefield. Once inhaled, it will cause severe frostbite to the lungs."
Kanae's injuries this time were mainly due to this reason.
At this point, Teiichi turned his gaze to Kanae, Kanae nodded slightly, confirming Teiichi's statement.
Then, Teiichi turned his gaze back to the pillars present.
"We Demon Slayer fight demons using Breathing Style. In a battle against Upper Rank Two, the body only weakens as time goes on."
Upon hearing this, all the pillars wore solemn expressions, clearly realizing the seriousness of the problem.
If that's the case, then the Pillars present seem to have a real problem dealing with Upper Rank Two.
With his Gyomei Himejima slowly asked, "Amitabha, how did you counter Upper Rank Two's attack?"
Teiichi replied, "Compared to other Breathing Style, Wind Breathing has an advantage in dealing with this attack. As long as we can use the characteristics of Wind Breathing Style to disperse the ice mist before it completely covers the battlefield, we can reduce its threat."
After listening, Gyomei Himejima nodded thoughtfully.
Kyojuro Rengoku eagerly asked, "Mr. Teiichi, does that mean that as long as we can prevent him from using this move, we'll have a chance to fight him?"
Upon hearing Kyojuro's words, everyone turned their attention to Teiichi, awaiting Teiichi reply.
However, Teiichi shook his head and said in a serious tone:
"No, even if Upper Rank Two didn't use this move, his own strength is still extremely high, far exceeding that of an ordinary Lower Rank."
This might not be very clear to everyone, but when I spar with Uzui tomorrow, you can all watch and you'll get a general idea of the difference between Upper Rank and a Pillar.
Upon hearing Teiichi's words, everyone slowly nodded.
Only Tengen Uzui looked dissatisfied. Was this guy putting himself in the Upper Rank's shoes and me in the Pillar's?
Fearing that everyone might underestimate Doma's overall strength because of Doma icy mist, Teiichi continued to speak about Doma's information.
" The Upper Rank Two is called Doma. He has white oak hair, and his pupils are quite unique, being rainbow-colored. He uses two golden folding fans as weapons, and he looks to be in his early twenties."
Doma's Blood Demon Art can be intuitively understood as an ability to control ice.
The ice mist I just mentioned is only one part of his abilities. Now I'll talk about a few of his Blood Demon Art abilities that I think we need to pay attention to.
He has a technique called " Crystalline Divine Child," which allows him to conjure several small ice figures that look exactly like him. These ice figures can fight independently, and each one possesses strength no weaker than Lower Rank, no, and perhaps even stronger than a typical Lower Rank.
It's unclear whether there's an upper limit to the number that can exist simultaneously, but the most I've seen him condense at one time is five.
The brief introduction immediately plunged the audience into silence once again.
It's important to know that the only requirement for becoming a Pillar in the Demon Slayer Corps is defeating Lower Rank demon.
However, Upper Rank Two can create Lower Rank Moons using only Blood Demon Art, and even create multiple Lower Rank at the same time.
Add to that the existence of Upper Rank Two itself, and you can imagine how difficult it would be to defeat him.
Gyomei Himejima asked, "So how did you deal with that move of his before?"
Teiichi replied, "This technique of condensing takes time, and the more quantities you condense, the more time it takes."
Of course, while it may seem like it takes a long time, it's really just a second or two more.
Therefore, when facing this move, I suggest destroying the unformed divine child as quickly as possible.
Everyone nodded solemnly upon hearing this.
It sounds like disrupting this move would be quite simple.
On the contrary, given that it only takes a few seconds to condense, and considering that Upper Rank Two certainly won't just stand by and watch you cause destruction while it's condensing, it will do its best to stop you.
Ultimately, this meant that disrupting this move was far more difficult than imagined.
"There's another move called ' Rime — Water Lily Bodhisattva,' which can create a giant ice sculpture of a Bodhisattva. This ice sculpture mainly uses hand strikes and freezing breath as its attack methods. Based on my estimation when I fought it, that ice sculpture was probably around forty meters tall."
Forty meters?!
Words of surprise came from the crowd.
In this era, such a colossal existence is practically a monster from mythology.
Kyojuro Rengoku stared at Teiichi in disbelief. " Mr. Kato, you actually managed to hold your own against such a monster until dawn? This..."
Teiichi wry smile, "Faced with such a giant ice sculpture, I have no way to confront it head-on. I can only rely on dodging to buy time."
To be honest, the most serious injury I suffered this time was from taking a direct hit from an incomplete attack by this ice sculpture giant.
Hearing this, everyone nodded, feeling a sense of relief.
The information just revealed has made everyone present realize that the Wind Hashira, who is able to hold off Upper Rank Two, is indeed very strong, but still within everyone's acceptable range.
But what if the Wind Hashira could go toe-to-toe with a 40-meter-tall ice sculpture and fight until dawn?
That brought us to another level, and everyone even began to doubt whether the Wind Hashira in front of them still belonged to "humans".
As the initial confidence in Teiichi's strength was relaxed, a tense atmosphere returned.
A 40-meter-tall ice sculpture of a Bodhisattva.
The mere mention of 40 meters is enough for everyone to get a general idea of Upper Rank Two's strength.
Of the pillars present, apart from the Flower Hashira Wind Hashira, none of the others have encountered the Upper Rank yet.
Even the Lower Rank was probably only encountered once, when he was promoted to Pillar.
The rest of the time, I Ueya just catch small fry.
At this moment, everyone in this room who hasn't reached the Twelve Kizuki level can only be classified as a minor character.
"Does Upper Rank Two Teiichi have any other tricks up its sleeve?"
Kagaya Ubuyashiki's words broke the silence in the room.
The information shared by the Wind Hashira made everyone present realize the difference in strength between the Pillars and the Upper Rank.
Although this Upper Rank is Upper Rank Two, its strength ranks second among the Twelve Kizuki, and the other Upper Rank Moons after him are probably not as strong as it.
Unfortunately, no one else in the house had encountered Upper Rank, so they could Upper Rank Two as a reference for its strength.
Teiichi and continued his introduction.
Having already addressed the Doma aspects of Doma's abilities, his remaining Blood Demon Art are now relatively normal.
Nevertheless, the Hashira Meeting that night ended slowly and somberly.
