Demon Slayer: Tanjiro becomes a ghost, Nezuko becomes a pillar!

Chapter 30 Cut

Upon hearing the name Giyu Tomioka, Mazuko looked up at Makomo in shock.

"Is Mr. Giyu also a disciple of Mr. Urokodaki?"

Makomo smiled and nodded. "Yes, he and Sabito were in the same class."

After learning this news, Mizuko finally understood why Mr. Giyu had asked her to find Mr. Urokodaki.

"Nezuko, you're really strong. It's only a matter of time before you defeat Sabito!"

Makomo encouraged Nezuko repeatedly, while also pointing out her mistakes in breathing techniques.

Mizuko listened very attentively, and she was also very grateful to Makomo and Sabito for their help.

And so, for the next month, Sabito practiced with Nezuko repeatedly during the day, and Makomo guided Nezuko on breathing and swordsmanship issues at night.

Midouzi has also made rapid progress in just one month.

Until this day...

Mizuko held the Nichirin Blade in one hand, looking at Sabito standing in front of the boulder.

Although Midouzi looked somewhat disheveled, her spirit and energy were undeniable.

"It's been a month, and I'm not playing along with you anymore. This time I'm serious, so you'd better be on your guard, or... you'll die!"

As Sabito spoke, he discarded the wooden sword in his hand and then drew a sharp Nichirin Blade from his waist.

When Mizuko saw Sabito draw his Nichirin Blade, there was no surprise in her eyes, only eagerness to try it out.

"Thank you for your guidance this past month. However, I won't lose this time either, Mr. Sabito, you'd better watch out!"

After saying this, Nezuko bowed to Sabito to express her gratitude, then gripped her Nichirin Blade with her other hand and assumed a fighting stance.

Sabito looked at Mizuko's resolute expression and confident fighting spirit, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth beneath his mask.

"It's finally starting to look like something."

"I agree," said the rabbit approvingly, then slammed its feet into the ground and attacked the Bean.

"Come!"

With a loud shout from Qian Tu, a fierce gust of wind from the blade was already upon them.

Nidouzi quickly got into the zone, focusing all her breathing on stimulating her senses to the extreme.

Her body began to twist and turn like a mountain stream, easily dodging the slash that whistled through the air.

The month of rigorous training had already sharpened her senses considerably.

Even Sabito's moves, which are as fast as flowing water, can be detected by her subtle movements.

This time, Nezuko neither attacked rashly nor directly blocked Sabito's attack.

They simply moved about methodically, dodging and weaving, their steps as light as if they were walking on water.

Her gaze was fixed on Sabito's every move, patiently waiting for him to make a mistake.

"Hey! Hey! Hey!"

Sabito's attacks became increasingly fierce, his blades flashing impenetrably. Seeing that Mizuko only dodged and did not attack, the expression on Sabito's face behind his mask gradually darkened.

"Have I only taught you how to hide in this past month? Show some fighting spirit!"

Midouzi pursed her lips, remaining silent, but her attention was as taut as a bowstring, fixed on Sakoto's moves.

[Mr. Sabito is indeed very strong... such a fierce attack, yet there wasn't a single flaw.]

Mizuko sighed inwardly, her palms already soaked with sweat, yet the strength with which she gripped the Nichirin Blade grew ever more steady.

She knew that it was precisely in times like these that one should not be impatient. A true swordsman must learn to wait patiently for the fleeting opportunity amidst a storm of attacks.

Seeing this, Sabito no longer held back and changed the way he held his Nichirin Blade.

"The breath of water, the tenth form, flows endlessly!"

With a soft shout, the rabbit stomped its feet on the ground and charged towards the Bean like a cannonball.

At the same moment, Sabito's body also began to spin, and the waves on the Nichirin Blade condensed into a roaring water dragon.

Midouzi watched this scene without the slightest carelessness.

"call--"

With a deep breath, Midouzi's body tensed up.

"Complete Collection, Water Breathing, Ninth Form: Water Spray - Chaos!"

With a soft shout, Mi Douzi floated backward, transforming into streaks of water that weaved through the forest, dodging the ever-flowing, swift movements of the Jade Rabbit.

Before anyone knew it, Makomo also arrived at the battlefield. Watching a water dragon relentlessly chasing a splash of water, a sweet smile appeared on her face.

"Sabito, you're getting impatient!"

Makomo murmured softly, having witnessed everything.

Compared to the powerful and overwhelming strength of the Jade Rabbit, the Bean has truly achieved a state of effortless control, like flowing water.

When Midouzi dodged to the side, he landed on the boulder and, seeing the roaring water dragon approaching, his senses were pushed to their limits.

Sabito finally caught Nezuko during her brief pause, raised her Nichirin Blade with both hands, unleashed a water dragon, and slammed it down on Nezuko.

And it was with this attack that Mizuko finally seized Sabito's opening.

With a light tap of his foot, his body exploded on the boulder like a splash of water before drifting down to the ground.

"call--"

After standing firm, Nidouzi took another deep breath.

"Complete Collection, Water Breathing, Fourth Form: Tide Rising!"

Nezuko changed her attack first, stomping her feet hard on the ground, her Nichirin Blade slicing through the waves as she slashed at Sabito, who was unable to change his position.

The rabbit was also taken aback, but it was too late to change its posture.

Mi Douzi's strike was swift, accurate, and powerful.

"Click—"

A crisp sound rang out, and when Mizuko looked up, she realized that her attack had cut off Sabito's mask.

However, to her surprise, she saw a gentle, smiling face.

However, there was a scar on the jawline of that face, just like the one on the mask.

"Mr. Sabito... are you... are you alright?"

Mizuko was a little flustered, afraid that her attack would displease Sabito.

Mr. Sabito is wearing a mask, it must be to cover that scar, I...

Just as Mizuko was feeling nervous, Sabito's usually arrogant tone softened.

"You did it, Nezuko. You're strong. Carry this belief and strength with you to protect those you cherish!"

Midouzi was somewhat dazed and was about to speak when a gust of wind swept in, stirring up the dust on the ground and obscuring the figure of the Sakoto.

"Mr. Sagittarius?"

"Please pass on a message to Giyong: I believe he will carry on my will and live on!"

As the rabbit finished speaking, the dust settled.

The image that appeared in front of Mizuko was no longer Sabito, but the giant rock that had been split in two.

"I...I cut it off?"

Nidouzi stood there dumbfounded, staring at the boulder that had been split in two, filled with shock and disbelief.

Behind her, Urokodaki arrived without her noticing. Seeing the scene before him, he dropped the food he was holding onto the ground.

"Nie Douzi...! You...you did it!"

(The Fujikasane Mountain selection is tomorrow, and Zenitsu will make a brief appearance!)
