In the lush green forest, Tanjiro, Hijou Feiye, and Hashibira Inosuke hurried past.
Their faces were filled with doubt and alertness, as if sensing a vague sense of danger not far away. There was an unsettling smell in the air, mixed with blood and hidden fear.
"Do you guys feel it too?" Tanjiro frowned, his keen sense of smell confirming it even more.
"Yeah, something's off." Hijou Feiye gripped their sword handles tightly, staring into the darkness ahead.
"Indeed, how could there be such a strange atmosphere..." Isosuke twisted his body uneasily, as if trying to dispel the ominous feeling.
Suddenly, a female Demon Slayer Corps member appeared in front of them. Her face was pale, and her eyes were filled with panic, as if she had seen something unimaginable.
"Don't come near! Go find a higher-ranking member of the Demon Slayer Corps!" she hoarsely shouted, her face contorted as if experiencing indescribable pain.
"Don't come near! Go find a higher-ranking member of the Demon Slayer Corps!" she hoarsely shouted, the fear on her face causing her voice to tremble.
"If you don't call them over, I will kill everyone! Please, I'm begging you, please," the female team member said in despair, tears streaming down her face as she tightly held the severed heads of two deceased Demon Slayer Corps members.
Tanjiro furrowed his brow, his gaze becoming even sharper. His sense of smell told him that the air here was mixed with the scent of blood and death, as well as some unknown power.
"Be careful!" Tanjiro shouted urgently, swinging his sword in an instant.
"Breath of Water, First Form: Water Surface Slash!" The sword light flowed like water, swiftly swung out, but he controlled it with extreme precision, barely grazing the female team member's clothes.
Hijou Feiye also refused to be outdone and quickly followed up: "Breath of Light, First Form: Sunrise Glory!" Her sword light was like the first ray of sunlight at dawn, illuminating the darkness.
Hashibira Inosuke roared, "Beast Breathing, Seventh Form: Spatial Awareness!" His swordsmanship was exquisite, completely avoiding the controlled female team member and directly cutting the black threads controlling her.
But at this moment, a terrifying sound rang out. The limbs of the female team member were forcibly pulled over by an unimaginable force.
"Ah—" she let out a piercing scream, the pain and fear on her face reaching its peak.
Following that, four members of the Demon Slayer Corps appeared in their line of sight, their bodies no longer in human form but a chaotic mess of flesh and blood.
"What is this place? How can something like this happen?" Isosuke felt a chill.
One male team member's face was pale, and his voice choked as he said, "Please, just kill us. Our limbs are all broken, our organs are damaged, and being alive is more painful than death."
Another female team member also joined in the plea: "Save us, let us die more quickly!"
Tanjiro stood still, trembling uncontrollably all over. Gripping the sword handle tightly, his eyes were filled with determination and sadness: "I can't do this, there must be a way to save you all!"
"Okay, I understand!" Isosuke said.
Tanjiro took a deep breath and looked firmly at Isosuke: "Wait, there must be a way to save them."
"Shut up! What are you hesitating for? They all asked us to put them out of their misery!" Isosuke retorted loudly, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes.
"I'm looking for a way, so give me some peace!" Tanjiro tightly grips the sword, his face full of determination.
Hijou Feiye are also conflicted at this moment. They don't want to end the lives of these controlled people with a single sword strike. But if they don't do it, these people will continue to suffer.
"Wait, let me try this method!" Feiye suddenly spoke, gripping the sword in her hand. Then, she shouted loudly, "Breath of Light, Type 2: Light Beam Traverse!"
A brilliant beam of light shot out from the tip of her sword, precisely hitting the bodies of the controlled team members, instantly severing the lines controlling them.
"Great, it worked!" Feiye exclaimed happily.
"Well done, Feiye!" Tanjiro also smiled.
But at that moment, they heard a scream, and then saw the female team member suddenly fall to the ground, convulsing as if she were being controlled by something again.
"It seems it's still not working," Feiye said disappointedly.
"Hurry, kill me!" The female team member said in pain, tears swirling in her eyes.
Tanjiro tightly gripped the hilt of the sun wheel sword, looking at her with determination. "No, there must be a way to save you!"
Feiye Suddenly raising the sun wheel sword, radiance overflowing: "Breath of Light, Type One: Sunrise Glory!" Her sword light broke through the air, cutting off the black line on one of the controlled team members.
Tanjiro also unwilling to show weakness: "Breath of Water, Type One: Surface Slash!" His sword light, like flowing water, cut off another black line.
Isosuke roared, "Beast's breath, Type One: Beast Roar!" He swung his sword fiercely and successfully cut through a black line.
Feiye dodged, attempting to evade the oncoming attack. But the speed was too fast, and her arm was scratched, blood splattering instantly. "Ah!" She covered the wound, her face contorted in pain.
"Look, Feiye is injured! Tanjiro, you need to make a decision quickly!" Urged Isosuke anxiously, with an unmistakable sense of urgency in his eyes.
Tanjiro's heart is shaking, but suddenly he has a flash of inspiration. The determined look in his eyes becomes brighter in his pupils, "Breath of Water, First Form: Surface Slash!" He swings his sword with all his might, creating a strong burst of energy that sends a controlled team member flying into a large tree, rendering them immobile.
"This should temporarily solve the problem," Tanjiro breathes heavily, a hint of hope in his smile.
Feiye and Isosuke quickly followed suit. "Breath of Light, Type Four: Dawn Light Ring!" Feiye swiftly swung her sword, sending out a ring of light that fixed the last controlled team member to another large tree. She sheathed her sword, bit her lip, and said, "I hope this gives us some time."
"Beast's Breath, Type Four: Beast King's Consecutive Slash!" Isosuke roared loudly, his sword tearing through the air like a wild beast, sending another controlled team member flying into a tree. He clenched his fist and said, "What on earth are these guys being controlled by?"
Tanjiro scanned the surroundings with his eyes and then said, "We need to find the source of their control, only then can we truly save them."
Feiye nodded, "I agree, we don't have time to waste, let's act quickly."
Three of them took a brief rest, then continued deeper into the forest with only one goal in mind - to find and resolve the root of all this.
"No matter what kind of demon it is, we must eliminate it." Tanjiro tightly gripped the hilt of his sword, determination flashing in his eyes.
"Yes, for the sake of our innocent comrades, and for ourselves, we cannot back down." Hijou Feiye tightened the grip on the sword hilt.
"Back down? What's that? Is it edible? It's not in my Izunosuke dictionary!" Izunosuke looked puzzled, but his gaze was more determined than ever.
Like this, the three of them once again lifted their swords and continued to swiftly move through the forest, skillfully dodging and precisely cutting the eerie control lines time and time again.
Their clothes were already torn to pieces, but each of them persisted, determined to find the ghost controlling everything.
I found that I couldn't continue to control these puppets. The female ghost showed an unhappy expression and said in a stern voice, "It seems that I can only use that special puppet."
The female demon sneered, waved her hand, and the threads instantly tightened: "Then don't bother with these fragile puppets, they are completely useless!"
Immediately after, a group of Demon Slayer Corps members trapped in the trees felt a tightening sensation around their necks, and their heads were twisted 360 degrees in an instant, their life force disappearing in an instant.
"Damn it! What the hell is this? How did everyone get killed!" Iizukas seemed very angry, almost about to roar.
Hijou Feiye Witnessing this scene, a surge of nausea rose in her heart. She thought, who said "Demon Slayer" is suitable for children to watch? Some parts are just too bloody.
Isosuke turned his head and noticed that Tanjiro's expression had become very serious, even angry. This made Isosuke swallow nervously, feeling a bit scared.
Tanjiro walked over and squatted down, carefully examining the lifeless bodies of his Demon Slayer Corps teammates. He took a deep breath and then gritted his teeth as he replied to Isosuke, "Yeah, let's keep moving forward!"
