Demon Slayer: The Demon King is actually a weak girl?!

After setting the target, several people raised their knives and moved towards Nightmare's neck.

"Zheng——!"

"Clang...!"

"Pfft-"

"..."

The sounds of swords clashing, steel colliding, and meat being hacked came from above the train.

The train carriage was not quiet either. Kyojuro, Zenitsu and Nezuko kept fighting with the tentacles that emerged from Nightmare's abdomen.

Since the strength of several people was very good, even though Nightmare had used all his strength to regenerate continuously, it was still like the young sprouts of wild vegetables growing on famine-stricken land. As soon as it grew a little, it was cut off by them again, leaving no "grass" behind.

"Ahhhh——!"

The nightmare of being one with the train was too much to bear and he couldn't help but let out a sharp wail.

Kyojuro, who was still concentrating on swinging his sword in the carriage, sensed the movement and glanced towards the locomotive.

"Good job."

After giving them a positive review, he continued to swing his knife at the strips of meat.

At the locomotive, Tanjiro and the other two jumped up and split open the cover above the locomotive, only to see the conductor of the train standing inside, looking up at them with eyes wide open.

They ignored this human who had no fighting power and continued to concentrate on hacking at the piece of meat.

"Crack——!"

With a crisp sound, large pieces of flesh on the ground were torn apart, revealing white bones.

It looks like the fossil of a giant beast, with each section appearing in long strips, which is very shocking.

However, the next second, the pieces of flesh quickly wrapped up the bones and protected them.

Tanjiro was shocked: "This is..."

"Yes, that's right." Xiyue took over.

——This is the ghost’s neck they have been looking for.

Victory is already beckoning to them.

"Go to sleep!"

Finally unable to bear their relentless pressure, Nightmare immediately used his trump card.

A red flesh tree with tangled roots sprouted above the front of the car, and countless green eyes suddenly opened on the flesh.

And those eyes were all staring blankly at the Demon Slayer Swordsmen approaching them.

"Close your eyes, Tanjiro, Inosuke!"

Xiyue closed her eyes instinctively and reminded loudly.

But it was too late, Tanjiro had already fallen into Nightmare's trap.

Finding himself in this familiar snowy field again, with previous experience, Tanjiro skillfully put the knife on his neck and chopped down without hesitation.

Then, the scene in front of him changed to those countless blue eyes.

——"Go to sleep!"

Before Tanjiro could even close his eyes, he was caught in the nightmare's sleeping spell again.

He found himself in the snow again.

"It's okay. Just kill yourself like before and you'll be out."

He gritted his teeth, cut the carotid artery with the sharp knife, and escaped from the dream as expected.

But the moment he escaped, his eyes, which had not yet closed, would always meet one of the densely packed eyes.

Then, he was hit again.

He realized that it was a dead end, but Tanjiro had no other choice but to keep cutting his own throat, waking up, and then cutting his own throat again and again...

Back and forth.

He didn't know how many times he repeated this action. Just as he put the knife to his neck again, a large area of ​​golden gardenia and crimson purple appeared in front of his eyes.

"Sakura Breathing: Type Four - Hana Ryo."

The cherry blossoms faded and the temperature dropped sharply.

The sharp blade, accompanied by the cherry rain, pierced a large number of eyeballs in front.

At the same time, Inosuke's voice came from Tanjiro's ear: "Hey Tanjiro, don't confuse dreams with reality!"

“…Huh?!”

Tanjiro seemed to wake up from a dream and found that Inosuke was holding his right hand holding the knife tightly.

He reacted immediately——

"I almost committed suicide in real life..."

He quickly put down the knife, feeling a little scared.

"Inosuke, are you okay?" Tanjiro asked worriedly.

Inosuke raised his head, with the boar's nose on his head pointing high to the sky: "Huh! This monster is afraid of my majesty as the king of the mountain, so he dare not look me in the face!"

"Yeah……"

Tanjiro guessed that it was because Inosuke was wearing a mask, so the ghost didn't know the direction of his sight.

——In short, it’s a blessing!

Just when they breathed a sigh of relief and focused their attention on Nightmare again, the conductor who had been staying in the corner suddenly ran out and stabbed Tanjiro in the abdomen with the spike in his hand.

"You people...don't disturb my sweet dreams!"

"Tanjiro!"

The voices of Shizuki and Inosuke rang out at the same time, and they hurriedly pulled the conductor away, but Tanjiro's abdomen had already begun to bleed, and his black uniform was stained even darker.

Seeing that the conductor was actually a dangerous person, Xiyue had no choice but to chop him on the back of the neck with her palm, knocking him unconscious.

She held the unconscious driver and moved him to a safe corner.

Looking at the unconscious conductor, Inosuke was furious and said to Xiyue in a hoarse voice: "He is a bad guy, don't worry about him, just let him fend for himself here!"

Xiyue shook her head: "No, he is an ordinary citizen and someone we need to protect."

"If we let such a bad guy die, we are saving the good people!" Inosuke was dissatisfied.

Xiyue continued to object: "Even if this is the case, I have to protect him. This is my duty as a pillar."

"..." Inosuke was completely speechless, "Well, he's fainted anyway, I don't bother to care about him, hum!"

"Inosuke..." Tanjiro forced out a smile helplessly.

No matter what, Inosuke was also standing up for him, even though his thoughts were the same as Xiyue's...

Xiyue's voice came from the side: "Well, let's get started!"

To prevent herself from getting hit, she closed her eyes for safety reasons.

Tanjiro gripped the hilt of the knife tightly: "Hmm!"

Inosuke was also full of vigor: "Let's go! Come!"

The figures of several people were as light as swallows, and countless strips of meat attacked them layer by layer, and hypnotic eyes opened on the flesh walls.

Tanjiro was immediately shocked when he saw those eyes popping out.

"Follow me!" Inosuke shouted, "Breath of the Beast, Fang of the Four - Shattering Slash!"

His knife cut the eyeballs in front of Tanjiro's eyes.

"Sakura Breathing, Type Three - Wabi-Sakura."

Xiyue, with her eyes tightly closed, was not affected by the nightmare trick. The lotus-colored blade swung horizontally, and in an instant, the meat and the eyeballs were completely destroyed.

And right below them was the ghost’s pale neck bone!

……

“Is it over…?”

Sitting in the front carriage, Wuzan touched his brow in distress and muttered to himself.

Those humans really work hard.

She used vampire magic to give an order directly into Nightmare's mind: "Nightmare, quickly make an eye in the sky."

She had to see the scene with her own eyes.

Nightmare: “…”

With his life and death at stake, how could he have the leisure time to fix his eyes?

The eyes from high in the sky were able to hypnotize them.

But precisely because the situation was urgent, he had no way of asking Muzan the reason and had to do as he was told.

——even though this would almost certainly result in his own death.

But he had already decided before that he was willing to give his life for Lord Muzan.

He really wasn't just talking.

And now is the time to prove our promise...

……

On the battlefield ahead, Tanjiro followed closely behind Shiozuki, preparing to launch the third wave of attack.

"Father, please protect me..."

He recited silently in his mind and shouted out the name of the move:

"The God of Fire Kagura - Biro no Ten!"
