Ghost Slayer: My Wife Kanao

"Roar..."

Accompanied by a tremendous roar.

The demon perched on the tree suddenly kicked the tree beneath its feet, snapping the massive trunk with its powerful kick.

At the same moment, the demon's figure leaped into the air.

Beneath the black hat, Sam Miller raised his head.

In the middle of the full moon, a demon descended from the sky, waving its sharp claws, aiming directly for him.

Sam placed his hand on the hilt of his sword, showing no intention of retreating.

His fingers gripped tightly.

"Ching!"

Accompanied by the clear sound of a sword ringing, a fiery red arc slashed downward.

Under the moonlit night, the flaming red arc was so stunning, like a flame blooming in the sky, its beauty threatening death.

The flames sliced through.

Like a shooting star, the demon's claws waving toward Sam were cut through in a flash.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound echoed as the demon's claw was easily severed, and with more momentum, the sword struck the demon's body.

A clean break.

Blood splattered across the sky, falling to the ground.

Compared to the tough claws of the first demon he encountered, although this demon's claws were sharp, they were easily severed by the Nichirin Blade.

Although he cut the demon with one stroke, Sam did not relax for a moment, still staring at the demon's body that he had sliced in two.

Suddenly, the body that had been cut in half twisted strangely, and two identical demons emerged.

"Damn... Damn... you've managed to annoy me. I'll catch you and eat your flesh piece by piece."

Two demons with hideous faces stood before him.

"The ability to split?"

Looking at the two demons that appeared before him, Sam murmured slightly, feeling that these were very real demons, not illusions.

A very powerful ability, much like the duplication abilities in novels.

"I wonder if I'll gain this demon's ability if I kill it," he thought, his golden eyes lighting up slightly, recalling the demon claw he gained from his first kill.

At this time, the two demons had already jumped up, flickering back and forth among the trees.

Like ghosts, their movements were impossible to track.

Sam didn't pursue them, instead standing his ground. No matter how they changed, they would eventually attack him.

"Whoosh..."

A strong wind swept down as the demon rushed from the air, its blood-red eyes shining with hatred.

But in the next second, a fiery red arc slashed out.

He swung the sword.

In an instant, the sword moved so fast it seemed the entire world was filled only with the fiery red arc.

Facing this, the demon's figure hung in the air, unable to dodge.

"Crack!"

The fiery red arc sliced through the demon's neck, and its head fell to the ground.

The demon's body slowly corroded like cremation, emitting an unpleasant stench.

A single stroke to the head.

A demon decapitated by a Nichirin Blade is affected by the sun's energy contained in the blade, and will no longer have the chance to regenerate.

But at that moment, a black figure appeared behind him, with ferocious claws aiming for the back of his neck.

Having just swung his sword, the blade was still in the air; at this moment, it would be very difficult to strike again.

All of this was obviously anticipated by the demon.

This demon had clearly seen that the abilities of the boyish-looking demon before it lay in swordsmanship.

But that frail body was his weakness. Although the body of a demon is much stronger than a human's, there was still a contrast between him and another demon.

But at this time...

A golden demon claw emerged, grabbing the dark demon claw.

They were obviously demon claws, but the other's claws shone with a bright luster like gold.

"Demon Claw"

The ability he obtained by killing the first demon was used again at this moment.

The demon claw exerted a little force, and the golden demon hand, much smaller than the opponent's, easily crushed the opponent's claw.

The demon stared blankly at this scene with its scarlet eyes.

Why are his claws stronger than mine?

Like the claws of a fox, the golden claws slid across, piercing the demon's chest, and a heart was held in the palm of Sam's golden hand.

The demon's heart had stopped beating.

His five fingers clenched violently, and the heart shattered.

Blood spurted out, blocked by the black hat.

The demon backed away, clutching its chest.

It was already afraid, scared of this boy, and didn't dare to continue fighting him.

If it continued, it would die.

But the next moment...

A ray of cold light emerged.

That demon...

Another sword slashed out.

The sword clearly cut across its neck, and the demon stared blankly as its head detached from its shoulders, growing farther and farther from its body.

As it lay dying, it couldn't help but wonder why a demon would use Nichirin Blades.

With unwillingness...

It would eventually dissipate.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for killing a demon and gaining the ability to split."

"Split ability: Creates a demon exactly like yourself, with the same abilities as yourself."

A clear sound echoed in his mind.

At this moment, he felt as if he suddenly mastered something new.

With just one thought, he could create a demon exactly like himself.

Perhaps...

It looked like two.

The demon he beheaded could only split into two, but there was one more.

Moreover, there was an intuition that with the improvement of strength, this number could be increased.

"A very powerful ability."

He couldn't help but feel it was equivalent to gaining three times the power all at once.

No...

When the three demons emerge at the same time, they all have the same power as the original.

It's likely more than three times the power.

You can't just triple the power by simply counting it into three.
