Just then, Giyu Tomioka, who had been silent to the side, suddenly tilted his head in confusion.
"Hey, Kirigaya, besides Sabito, aren't you the one who killed the most demons? You even twisted off that demon's head and used it as a ball..."
"Whoa! Giyuu! Come look at this!"
Sabito reacted quickly, covering Yiyong's mouth and pulling him away. Before leaving, he winked at Rika.
Pear Blossom smiled slyly at him.
Ryosuke: w(?Д?)w
Ryosuke was stunned when he saw this.
How did you guys end up together?!
How did you all get led astray by this girl and betray us!
What exactly did she say to you guys?!
Rika, looking completely infatuated, lay on Ryosuke's chest, sucking on his chest repeatedly.
"Hehe~ Ryosuke-nii~ Hehe~"
Girl, aren't you scary?!
This is a real headache!
After the selection process was completed, the next step was to choose Tamagane and assign Kasugai.
When it was Pear Blossom's turn, a brightly colored red and white hummingbird landed on her shoulder and affectionately nuzzled her cheek.
"Wow! So beautiful!"
Pear Blossom opened her eyes wide in surprise and carefully stroked the hummingbird's feathers.
"Look, Ryosuke-nii! It's just as cute as yours!"
"Yeah, she is quite cute."
After everything was finished, Ryosuke said goodbye to Sabito and the others and prepared to leave with Rika.
Just as I stepped out of the crowd, I happened to run into Shota, who was rushing over.
"Hey! The assessment, is it over?" Shota asked, panting heavily.
Ryosuke glanced at him and said indifferently, "Well, you're too late, so it's over."
"Damn it! I still missed it!"
Why wasn't I the first person my sister saw after her assessment?
Ryosuke knew what he was thinking and forced a smile.
Shota gritted his teeth, getting angry at the smug look on his face!
He was about to retort when a cry suddenly came from the sky.
Ryosuke's pale blue hummingbird swooped down and landed on his raised arm.
"Gah! Ryosuke Yasui! Urgent order! Summon the Flame Pillar, Makijuro Rengoku!"
"Proceed to Hachijojima in Tokyo Prefecture immediately to conduct further investigation!"
Ryosuke's eyes suddenly lit up.
The opportunity to hone your skills in real combat has arrived!
"Shota, I'm leaving Rika to you."
Ryosuke gave Shota some instructions, patted Rika's head, and then transformed into a streak of lightning, speeding away into the distance.
Before Pear Blossom could say anything, the figure disappeared at the end of the mountain path in a few leaps.
"Hmph~ Hmm!!!"
Pear blossoms: (,,???,, )
Pear Blossom pouted in annoyance, her toes grinding against the pebbles on the ground.
"Running so fast! Another mission! Another mission! Is Lord Flame Pillar that important?!"
Seeing his sister's state, Shota felt helpless and gently comforted her.
"Alright, that guy's always the same. All he cares about is killing demons and getting stronger. Let's go home. Grandpa must be getting impatient."
He ruffled Pear Blossom's hair: "When you get a little more skilled, you'll be able to take on higher-level missions, and then I'll take you under my wing!"
Pear Blossom didn't complain anymore, she just gave a muffled "hmm".
The girl's initial joy at having just passed the test was largely dampened.
Ryosuke pushed his Thunder Breathing Technique to its limit, his figure moving like lightning.
"Hachijōjima Island in Tokyo Prefecture..."
The wind whistled in his ears, but Ryosuke kept pondering the name of the place.
"This place sounds so familiar..."
Even if he were to read the original work thoroughly, Ryosuke could not possibly remember all the place names and events.
But when you think about Makijuro's life...
Ryosuke was startled and gasped.
Hachijojima... Snake Demon... Offering...
Seriously? The plot is starting to unfold already?!
Chapter 37 The Boy Chased by the Snake Demon
Hachijojima Island has a perpetually spring-like climate, with sea breezes carrying a heavy, salty odor.
Ryosuke traveled day and night, arriving late at night.
Based on the information provided by the Kasugai Crow, he quickly rushed to the meeting point he had agreed upon with Rengoku Makijuro.
The edge of the dense forest is silent as a mystery.
Before they could go any deeper, a panicked scream shattered the silence.
"Help! Help! Don't come any closer!"
In the open clearing of the forest, a short boy was seen staggering and running wildly.
Half of his face was wrapped in blood-stained bandages, his pupils, one blue and one gold, were filled with fear, and a small silver snake was coiled around his neck, constantly flicking its tongue.
Behind him, however, followed a strangely shaped evil spirit.
Her upper body was a distorted female form with a seductive face and vertical pupils with a gaping mouth.
Its lower body is a snake tail covered with dark scales, which moves extremely fast and emits a chilling laugh from its mouth.
"Hehehe... Little sacrifice, don't run away, let me eat you!"
The boy, exhausted, tripped over a tree root and fell heavily to the ground.
A greedy glint flashed in the snake demon's eyes. It bared its fangs and pounced down!
"Thunder Breathing·Fourth Form·Distant Thunder!"
A violent bolt of lightning tore through the darkness, striking like a raging dragon!
The snake demon couldn't dodge in time and hastily adjusted its posture before being struck in the abdomen, retreating several meters.
Before the boy stood a man with black hair and black clothes, holding a silver-white longsword that looked like warm jade, with tiny crackling lightning crackling around him.
"Ghost Hunter!"
The snake demon hissed, lowered its body, and kept flicking its tongue.
"A tender nest!"
With a roar, Ryosuke transformed into a lightning spear and charged forward!
Breath of Thunder·Shape of One·Thunderbolt Flash!
With its astonishing speed, the snake demon had no time to react. It swung its tail sharply, attempting to block and dodge backward.
A flash of gleaming white light appeared, accompanied by the muffled sounds of scales shattering and flesh being cut, and the serpent demon let out a painful hiss.
Its thick snake tail was cleaved open by this knife, leaving a deep wound that exposed the bone, and dark red blood spurted out!
"Ugh! That damned demon hunter!"
The snake demon was filled with shock and rage.
She never expected that Ryosuke's attack would be so fierce, and the speed was astonishing!
Having landed a successful blow, Ryosuke quickly gave chase.
The blade flashed, and a barrage of slashes rained down!
Forced to retreat, the snake demon desperately swung its claws to block and counterattack.
A crisp ringing sound rang out, and the snake demon was knocked back several meters by a single strike.
She was covered in blood, and the healing speed of her wounds could not keep up with Ryosuke's slashes at all!
"Damn it! You're clearly not a Pillar! How can you be so strong!"
After initially condensing his battle qi, his every breath resonated with the blade, and each strike was several times stronger than before!
"What nonsense are you spouting! Shine!"
Thunder Breathing, Fifth Form: Heat Realm Thunder!
A violent burst of lightning erupted instantly, its power shaking the heavens.
The area around the serpent demon instantly transformed into a blazing hell of lightning!
The serpent demon roared in agony, and as its serpentine eyes focused, a massive burst of ghostly energy and blood mist exploded outwards.
"Blood Demon Art: Strangulation and Binding!"
A bloody wind swept in, and countless sharp claws transformed into a storm, continuously shattering the lightning.
