Demon Slayer: I will play the ancestor of the Flame Pillar

Chapter 18



The first time, the first time.

Half a month later, in the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, in the center of the courtyard with wisteria flowers in full bloom, a group of swordsmen wearing feathers were kneeling on one knee on the ground waiting.

Soon, the Demon Slayer Corps' head of the business, Yoya, whose face was half disfigured, came to the room and knelt down, followed by the iron-armored man Yomizu Jinsai, who was half lying in the shadow.

Yoya's eyes swept around.

All the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps were gathered here.

As far as the sight could see, the big monk Gyoumei, the unruly Fushigawa Saneya, the gorgeous Uzui Tengen, the beautiful and moving Kocho Shinobu, and the cold Tomioka Giyu all bowed their heads and greeted respectfully.

His eyes stayed on the enthusiastic Rengoku Kyojuro for a while, and after a pause, Yaoya bowed gently and spoke.

"Half a year, my beloved swordsmen, it seems that everyone is doing well, I am sincerely happy for you.

After the enlightenment, the demons are getting stronger and stronger, and the burden on you will be heavier in the future. I hope that everyone can support each other and unite as one. I hope you can take good care of your health."

"The health of the lord is the most important."

The pillars responded in unison, but everyone's eyes were inevitably attracted by the figure wearing a haori.

"In addition, lord."

The unruly wind pillar, Fushigawa Shima, took the lead in attacking.

"Shouldn't the flame pillar be Mr. Rengoku? Why does he appear in such an occasion if he is not a pillar? Is he worthy of knowing the information of the pillar?"

"Don't embarrass Kyojuro, Shima.

Shinjuro was seriously injured and brought back the information of the upper string. Now he needs to recuperate at home."

Yaoya stopped Shima and turned to Kyojuro with concern.

"How is Shinjuro's recovery? He was a little abnormal before that.

You must be worried about Shinjuro. Can you tell me what's going on at home?"

"Yes, my lord. Please don't worry. After the battle with the upper strings, my father's health has recovered very well.

But since my mother passed away, my father has become increasingly depressed. Now he drinks all day and doesn't even want to step out of the door."

Yaoya sighed and said, "Shinjuro said he wanted to rest last time, but I didn't expect so many things to happen. So that's it."

Beimingyu Xingmei, who had been reciting Buddhist scriptures with tears in his eyes, said firmly at this time.

"Although Mr. Rengoku has been the pillar for the longest time, the position of the Demon Slayer Corps is unshakable, which is really a pity."

The gorgeous Uzui Tengen also added: "Let Mr. Rengoku retire. Such a pillar is not gorgeous and will bring a bad atmosphere to ordinary team members."

"Although the pillars are currently short of manpower, drunkards are useless, but if the Flame Pillar is left vacant, what should we do now?"

Shimi asked unwillingly, pounding the ground, and everyone fell into deep thought.

"It doesn't matter, I will be the Flame Pillar!

And after I become the Flame Pillar, I believe that my father will definitely regain his motivation!"

Kyojuro, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately raised his hand and spoke confidently.

"You little devil, how dare you speak so arrogantly here, what qualifications do you have to be a pillar?"

Shimi spoke viciously, he was extremely disgusted with people like Kyojuro who didn't know the height of the world, and unqualified swordsmen were most likely to be eaten by demons.

"My Lord, please forgive me. I can't bear it anymore. I have to teach this arrogant guy a lesson now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shiya rolled up his sleeves and came to Kyojuro in an instant, punching him with all his strength without mercy.

So fast, is this the speed of the wind pillar Fuzugawa Shiya?

Kyojuro lowered his head to avoid the attack, Shiya took advantage of the situation and raised his long legs high to pull down.

Kyojuro stretched out his hand to block it helplessly, and in a short time, the two fought several times.

Shiya's attack became more and more fierce, but Kyojuro just dodged blindly, defending but not attacking, and only blocked when he encountered an attack that could not be avoided.

Everyone present was a little surprised at Kyojuro's strength. He only defended but not attacked, and he could not lose the wind under Shiya's violent attack.

Only Ubuyashiki Yoya frowned, he didn't want to see the swordsmen fighting each other.

Zheng!

In the shadows, Jinsai drew his sword and warned in a hoarse voice.

"Everyone, this is in front of the lord, please be careful about your behavior.

Wind Pillar Fuzugawa Shimizu, how long do you want to mess around?"

The two men who were fighting separated instantly, Shimizu fell back to his original position, knelt on one knee and said respectfully: "Lord, please forgive me, I was too radical just now."

"Too reckless, Shimizu, I know you are worried about Yan

The successor of the pillar.

But Kyojuro is a good kid. You have just seen his strength. Please apologize to him. "

Shiya snorted and bowed his head unwillingly to apologize.

Kyojuro did not care about Shiya's offense just now and answered loudly.

"It doesn't matter. I will prove myself to everyone.

Yaoya turned his head and looked at Kyojuro softly.

"Rengoku Kyojuro, I think you should know the conditions for promotion to the pillar. Even if you are the eldest son of the Rengoku family, you cannot directly succeed the Flame Pillar.

"You just showed the courage to become a pillar. Next, please prove to everyone that you have the ability to serve as a pillar.

There are signs of the Twelve Demon Moons in Tokyo. It was originally Shinjuro's jurisdiction. Please set out now to fight. "

"Yes, I will take on the responsibility of my father. I will kill the evil ghosts with my own hands and become the Flame Pillar. "

Kyojuro replied confidently, turned and left, the flaming haori behind him swaying and disappearing from everyone's sight.

Looking at the boy's back, Xingming asked.

"Have you foreseen the future of this young man killing the Twelve Demon Moons? Or is it just intuition?"

"It's not just intuition, I have a hunch about Rengoku Kyojuro."

Yoya responded as he looked at Kyojuro's back.

"He will be the one who turns the fate of the Demon Slayer Corps in the near future, I have such a feeling."

Clapping his hands, pulling everyone who was still thinking back to the topic, Yoya cleared his throat.

"Okay, although I believe Kyojuro can become a pillar, some information cannot be revealed to him before he does it.

Now I declare the official start of the Pillar Meeting. Regarding the appearance of the upper strings and the mysterious strong man, I want to hear your opinions. "

Looking around at everyone, Ubuyashiki Yoya continued to talk about the known information.

"Although Shinjuro was seriously injured in this battle, he brought us information about the Upper Ranks. The demon that appeared this time is the Upper Rank Three."

The Sound Pillar Uzui Tengen, who is in charge of intelligence work, immediately stood up and explained to everyone on the spot the appearance characteristics and fighting methods of Akaza.

Watching the information about the Upper Ranks, Shinobu Kocho of the Butterfly House spoke first.

"Regarding this matter, Aoi's report said that although Mr. Rengoku was seriously injured, it was not fatal. The opponent seemed to have deliberately let Mr. Rengoku go."

Water Pillar Tomioka Giyu thought. "There is no reason for the Upper Ranks to hold back. It was not far from dawn at that time. Could it be that the time limit made the Upper Ranks afraid and ran away."

Shinobu Kocho shook her head and added: "In fact, Mr. Rengoku's physical function has declined a lot due to long-term alcoholism. The probability of him being able to hold out for so long in front of the Upper Ranks is very low if he is not at his peak. ”

Rock Pillar Beiming Yuxing said calmly: "So the upper strings should have some concerns and didn't kill them in the end. I tend to think that someone intervened for some purpose."

Fuzugawa Shiya slightly side-eyed: "Are you saying that besides the Demon Slayer Corps, there are others who can threaten the upper strings?"

"Not only that, according to the Flame Pillar, the mysterious strong man who gorgeously killed two lower strings used the Breath of Flame, and his attainments were even higher than his. I don't think this is accidental."

Tengen, who had finished his explanation, revealed the shocking news. Everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

How could someone's Breath of Flame be stronger than the current Flame Pillar, and even the Demon Slayer Corps didn't even have any news before.

Waiting patiently for everyone to think, Yaoya spoke gently.

"As one of the five fundamental breathing methods, the Breath of Flame is widely used. It would not be surprising if it spread out."

"Although I don't know who this mysterious person is, his position is temporarily inclined to us. Please approach him with a friendly attitude when investigating."

"Yes! "All the pillars responded in unison.

Yoya finally stood up to summarize the meeting.

"The last thing is the crusade against the upper strings. Once you find any traces, you must ensure your own safety first.

At least three pillars must be gathered, and the attack can only be launched after reporting to the headquarters and obtaining approval."

In the final stage, Ubuyashiki Yoya bowed solemnly to everyone and sincerely thanked the pillars for their efforts.

"Please pay attention to safety, everyone present. You are the future of the Demon Slayer Corps. This is an order. Above, disband."

"As you command! Please take care of yourself, my lord."

The pillars stood up and left one after another, and finally only the tall rock pillar remained in place to continue chanting.

"Gyomei, is there anything else to say? "

The Rock Pillar clasped his hands together, tears streaming from his eyes as he said, "My Lord, I think the position of the person who killed the Lower Moon is still unclear, so we can't jump to conclusions...

In addition, there is another unusual thing. Recently, a miracle has been circulating in my jurisdiction..."
