"The evil spirits have all retreated, and the fires in the surrounding towns have all been extinguished. There should be no traps." He didn't dare to guarantee anything, as blood vampire magic would always give rise to some strange abilities. He only used his own experience to judge the safety of the surrounding environment. In such an all-out war with evil spirits, it was necessary to remain vigilant. Shirou Emiya did not beat around the bush. Since he had met all the members of the Demon Slayer Corps here, and even a Servant who seemed like a leader, he naturally needed to raise the questions in his mind. In other words, just like what he did every time he arrived in a new world, he had to understand what was happening in this world first before he could figure out what to do next. Chapter 858: The Current Situation Humanity Faces Nowadays, the situation of the Demon Slayer Corps is not good, and it can even be said that the entire human side is at an absolute disadvantage. There are almost no members of the original Demon Slayer Corps left in the battle with evil demons, and it can even be said that the only current pillars of the entire Demon Slayer Corps left are Insect Pillar Shinobu Kocho and Sound Pillar Tengen Uzui. After the train incident, the evil spirits began to launch all-round attacks, not hiding their tracks at all, and started large-scale fighting at night. During the train incident, although the Flame Pillar Rengoku Kyojuro barely managed to survive after fighting with the Upper Three, he almost lost his combat ability and could basically only stay in the rear to train a new generation of Demon Slayer Corps members. Also because of the all-round attack of the evil spirits at that time, the world instantly became chaotic.
Things happened so quickly that by the time the Demon Slayer Corps reacted, the entire city's population had been transformed into demons. For a moment, neither the government nor the Demon Slayer Corps knew how to respond. Because all the other party gave them was a day to think. At this moment, neither the government nor the Demon Slayer Corps knew what to do, because this had never happened in nearly a hundred years, no, it should be said that this had never happened before. Even in the chaotic times of the past, even in the period when the Demon Slayer Corps had not even learned how to breathe and were suppressed by the evil spirits, such a crazy thing had never happened. The conflicts between evil spirits and humans are all in the dark, and it can even be said that most people nowadays believe that evil spirits are just legends. The members of the Demon Slayer Corps were in a panic for a moment, and almost all the pillars went out to stop the attack of the evil demons. But even the weakest evil spirit is several times stronger than humans. The government's army was defeated in an overwhelming manner. In front of the extremely terrifying number of evil spirits, the people of the Demon Slayer Corps who had the ability to kill evil spirits were too weak. They called this period the Dark Ages. Humankind was hopeless and was being devoured by evil spirits at a terrifying rate. Humankind had no ability to resist at all. It was also during this period that the Love Pillar Kanroji Mitsuri and the Snake Pillar Ichigo "visited Suxie" and the two of them came to the fore. Afterwards, a woman who called herself Minamoto no Raikou appeared on the government side and led the army to defeat the evil spirits step by step. For the first time, she won the war against the evil spirits at night. He even discovered the residence of evil spirits during the day and wiped out a terrifying number of evil spirits. Douma, the Second Upper Rank, Inouza, the Third Upper Rank, and Gamatsu, the Fifth Upper Rank, all died in his hands. Bringing a glimmer of hope to humans in the face of evil spirits. It was also during this period when Minamoto no Raikou won a great victory in the battle against the evil spirits that the swordsmith village and the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters were attacked. First, the swordsmith village was found, and Hantengu, the Upper Four, broke directly into it. The Demon Slayer Corps quickly sent Water Pillar Tomioka Giyu and Kasumi Pillar Tokito Muichiro to provide support. But no one expected that at this moment the Demon Slayer Corps' headquarters was attacked by Kokushibo, one of the Upper Ranks, and Kifutaro, one of the Upper Ranks. If it were really only these two evil demons who attacked the Demon Slayer Corps' headquarters, the Demon Slayer Corps would not have fallen into this situation. The one who led the attack on the swordsmith village was Ibaraki Douji, and the one who led the attack on the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters was Shuten Douji.
There is already a huge gap between the pillars themselves and the upper ranks, not to mention the existence of servants. Water Pillar Tomioka Giyu and Cloud Pillar Tokito Muichiro went to support the Swordsmith Village and stopped Ibaraki Douji at the cost of everything they had. In the end, Tanjiro Kamado and Genya Fushigawa killed Hantengu, the Upper Four, together. As for the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, Rock Pillar Gyōmei Hiramatsu and Wind Pillar Fushigawa Miya held back Shuten-doji at the cost of their lives. With the joint efforts of Sound Pillar Tengen Uzui, Insect Pillar Shinobu Kocho, Agatsuma Zenitsu, Hashibira Inosuke, and Kuriraka Kanao, they beheaded Upper Six Kibutaro. As for Kokushibo, one of the Upper Moons, he went to stop Minamoto no Raikou who was rushing here to provide support. When he was about to be killed by Minamoto no Raikou, Kibutsuji Muzan, who had been hiding all this time, appeared, and after a brief confrontation, he immediately retreated. Their purpose of delaying Minamoto no Raikou had been achieved. By the time Minamoto no Raikou arrived at the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, Rock Pillar Hyoumei Hiramazine Gyōmei and Wind Pillar Fushigawa Miya were already dead, and the remaining five were seriously injured. If she had arrived a little later, everyone in the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters would have been slaughtered by Shuten-doji. From this point on, what followed was a period of intense conflict between humans and demons that lasted for several months. At this moment, the top powers displayed by the evil spirits are - Shuten Douji, Ibaraki Douji, Kibutsuji Muzan, and Kokushibo. The top powers displayed by humans on the surface are: Minamoto no Raikou, Shinobu Kocho, Uzui Tengen, Tanjiro Kamado, Agatsuma Zenitsu, Hashibira Inosuke, Kurirakata Kanao and Fushigawa Genya. But except for Minamoto no Raikou, even if all the people combined, they would not be able to face either Shuten-doji or Kibutsuji Muzan alone. Minamoto no Raikou could not face Shuten Douji, Ibaraki Douji, and Kibutsuji Muzan alone. What's more, the birth of evil spirits is endless. Almost 90% of the residents in the town will be transformed into evil spirits. After all, there are only a few people who would rather die than become evil spirits like the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps. The combat power of the lower levels has a considerable gap not only in quantity but also in quality. Firearms have no way to kill those evil ghosts that can recover infinitely. They can do nothing but delay them. What's more, those evil ghosts can also use firearms. The production of the Nichirin sword, the only sword that can cause fatal damage to evil spirits, was greatly reduced due to the destruction of the sword-forging village, leaving only the ones brought by Tanjiro Kamado and Genya Busei. Water Pillar Tomioka Giyu and Kasumi Pillar Tokito Muichiro risked their lives just to force Kamado Tanjiro to take the remaining survivors out of the swordsmith village. Therefore, it is impossible to provide the Sunflower Sword to everyone. Only the wisteria flower, which can have a fatal effect on ghosts, can allow those who do not have the Sunflower Sword to kill evil ghosts. The poison of wisteria flowers does not have a fatal effect on those extremely powerful evil spirits, but it is enough to deal with these evil spirits created with just a little blood. Although Minamoto no Raikou, as the general, and Ubuyashiki Yoshiya, the lord of the Demon Slayer Corps, both have strong leadership skills, they can only slow down the time of being wiped out in the face of the huge gap between both high-end and low-end combat power. As time went by, the living space of mankind was shrinking, until this day, Minamoto no Raikou received the news that one of the Upper Moons, Kokushibo, had died, as well as two suspected servants named Sengo Muramasa and Miyamoto Musashi. Chapter 859 I Want to Throw Myself into Sister Musashi’s Arms "Damn it!! Don't stop me!!!" "Inosuke, stop it, you can't beat her!!!" "That's right, Inosuke, don't be so impulsive!! Didn't you listen to her self-introduction? She might be the same person as Minamoto no Yorimitsu-sama!" On the other side, Zenitsu Agatsuma hugged Inosuke's leg tightly, tears kept bursting from the corners of his eyes, and he kept muttering. Tanjiro stood behind him, holding his arms tightly and pulling him backwards.
Inosuke's body was covered with sword wounds of varying sizes, with blood constantly flowing out of them. But seeing how energetic he looked, it must be just some minor injuries. "Ha! So who are these Musashi and Genshin?" Inosuke roared, and two streams of hot air spurted out from the nostrils of the pig head mask. Because of this sentence, the scene suddenly fell into silence. Agatsuma Zenitsu and Tanjiro looked at each other involuntarily, and then looked at Miyamoto Musashi, who was holding two swords tightly and looking at them with interest in front of him. "No way, you don't even know Miyamoto Musashi!?" Agatsuma Zenitsu immediately stood up and yelled at Inosuke. After all, Miyamoto Musashi was extremely famous in Japan. As for why Agatsuma Zenitsu did not suspect her, you should know that Miyamoto Musashi recorded in history was a male. On the one hand, Miyamoto Musashi is really good-looking, and for Agatsuma Zenitsu, how could a beautiful girl lie? On the other hand, Minamoto no Raikou recorded in history was also a male, but the one that appeared was a woman full of maternal aura that would make his nose bleed if he looked at her for even a second. Since Minamoto no Raikou was a woman, it shouldn't be too surprising that Miyamoto Musashi was also a woman. Anyway, they are all beautiful. "Sister Musashi! Don't worry about him. He just ran away from the mountains and doesn't know anything--!" After reprimanding Inosuke, Agatsuma Zenitsu immediately turned into an intoxicated state and floated towards Miyamoto Musashi like a spirit. "Uh! It's nothing! It's just that it's rare to see someone using two swords, so I wanted to give it a try--" Seeing Zenitsu Agatsuma flying towards him, Miyamoto Musashi couldn't help but take half a step back. I feel like if I communicate a few more words I'll get tangled up. "You bastard, don't be unable to walk just because you see a female!!!" Inosuke was immediately furious and rushed forward to grab Zenitsu Agatsuma by the collar, his hot breath blowing directly into his face. "You bastard! Let me go! Don't stop me! I will be able to enjoy the hug of my big sister soon, you know I am looking forward to it!!!!!" "Ha! You are the bastard. If the other party was an evil ghost, you would have been dead long ago!!!" "Shut up right there! That's Miyamoto Musashi! She's a beautiful older sister! How can you say something so vicious like she's an evil spirit!!!" "I already told you I don't know any Miyamoto Musashi!!!" "That's why I said you are short-sighted. You don't even know Miyamoto Musashi!!!" "that--!" Tanjiro, who was standing behind the two of them, had his eyes turned into small dots at some point. He scratched the back of his head, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. Why did things turn out like this?
"Interesting, is this the Demon Slayer Corps you once served in?" Miyamoto Musashi looked at the two noisy people with an interested smile and walked straight to Emiya Shirou's side. "Well, I didn't stay in there for long." Shirou Emiya just waved his hands slightly, looking helpless. He joined the Demon Slayer Corps, and after taking on his first mission, he was captured by the Demon King Muzan. It can be said that his life was extremely miserable. At this moment, Tanjiro could only calm down the two people's emotions that were about to clash with sweat. Although if they really wanted to talk, the two of them would not clash. If Inosuke really intended to attack Zenitsu, Zenitsu would definitely surrender at lightning speed. So we really can't fight. "Let's talk about the specific situation after we return to the base. Although both Servants have appeared here, Muzan's whereabouts are still unknown. We still can't leave the base for too long." Minamoto no Raikou looked at the three people in front of him who were the focus of everyone's attention with a maternal smile. "Let me heal the wounded first--!" Shirou Emiya also nodded. This was not a good place to have a conversation, and it was just getting dark, which was the time when evil spirits were most active. If we were surrounded by evil spirits, there would surely be a lot of casualties. "You know healing magic?" In Minamoto no Raikou's eyes, Emiya Shirou is just an ordinary magician. "Well, it is." Shirou Emiya didn't say much, but a samurai sword stained with scarlet blood appeared in his hand. “Bankai-All-out——!” The moment the flower fell, the surrounding land was instantly covered by surging blood, and even the trees standing on the ground turned into boiling blood. The strong smell of blood immediately filled everyone's nostrils, not only stopping Zenitsu and Inosuke who were still arguing, but Minamoto no Raikou also drew his sword and pointed it at Emiya Shirou. After all, neither the form of this area nor the aura it exudes is so friendly. "Hey! My injuries have recovered—" Although Inosuke's injuries were very minor compared to some of the other Demon Slayer Corps members present, he was the first to feel the changes in his body, and his wounds were healing at an extremely terrifying speed. "My legs! My legs can move!" "Me too, my hand actually grew back, how is this possible!" Those injured people looked at their bodies with great surprise, their eyes showing joy. After all, they were all prepared to lie in bed forever, but they didn't expect that they would recover like evil spirits in just a breath. "I'm sorry, I was stressed out--!" Looking at the team members who had recovered, Minamoto no Raikou sighed in relief, put away the sword in his hand, and looked at Emiya Shirou with great gratitude.
This healing ability alone is enough for her to take it seriously. "No, as a general, I should remain vigilant." Shirou Emiya shook his head and didn't care much about it. After all, they were just strangers who met once. If he was an evil spirit, Minamoto no Raikou would have taken action at the moment of his Bankai. "The original owner of this weapon is truly a pervert!" Miyamoto Musashi, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but speak out. After all, Emiya Shirou had explained his abilities to her when they were sparring, and she knew how powerful the original owner of this sword was.
