The sudden appearance of this person also made the Hand Ghost stunned for a moment. "Sword Breathing Wind Shape Dance" "Shua————!" A cold blade flashed by, carrying an emerald green wind blade. “Puff——!” Blood spurted out from the hand ghost's neck. "Bleeding?" The hand ghost felt that part of his neck seemed to have been cut open by someone. "so hard!" Emiya shook his hands which were numb from the shock, and at this moment his bright red Sun Blade was stuck in the neck of the hand demon.
Even if he used all his strength, Emiya could only cut halfway through. If he had not let go in time, he and the Nichirin Sword would have been hanging on the hand demon's neck. "But here we go again, cute little fox." The hand demon casually pulled out the Nichirin Sword that was stuck on his neck, broke it into two pieces and threw it into a plate, then looked at the red-haired boy who had just supported Emiya with interest in his eyes. "Fox boy, what year is it in Meiji now?" After a moment of surprise, the hand ghost no longer cared about Shirou Emiya standing behind him. Without the Sun Blade, even if he had the ability to cut off his own neck, it would be of no use. Compared to the stranger over there, the red-haired boy wearing a fox mask in front of it is the target it has been looking for all along. "Projection, start!" Chapter 35: Hand-Chopping Ghost Ever since he combined his breathing techniques with his magic circuits, Emiya found that he didn't need to restart his magic circuits every time he used magic. When using the breathing method, the magic circuit will open automatically, and when you stop using the breathing method, the magic circuit will close again. It's like the breathing method has installed a switch for the magic circuit. It can be easily turned on and off with just a slight flick. Then why didn't you use enhanced magic to slash when fighting the hand ghost? On the one hand, after Shirou Emiya learned the breathing method, he basically used it when fighting against demons. After all, using the breathing method to fight against demons is very effective. He forgot that he could use strengthening magic to strengthen his Nichirin Sword in battle. On the other hand, the author forgot that Emiya could also use strengthening magic when he was writing, but since it has already been sent out, he will continue writing as if Emiya forgot to use strengthening magic. Just as the hand ghost was constantly teasing the red-haired boy and gaining pleasure from it. Emiya quietly projected two jagged Sun Blades. Project your image first when meeting someone. This is a good habit to accumulate. So basically, when Emiya meets someone who looks good, he will choose to project a view to check out the opponent's skills.
As for why we didn't cast a wider net, everyone cast their ball when they entered Tenggui Mountain. The main reason is that the mana bar is not enough. If the mana bar allows, Emiya will definitely try them one by one. Also, it takes time to practice the new breathing method and integrate it into one's own breathing method. Otherwise, Emiya would not have chosen the Wind Type to cut the hand demon's neck. Breathing of the Wind was the breathing method he was most proficient in. He figured out the Breathing of the Sword from the Breathing of the Wind. Of course, this did not mean that they were subordinate to each other. And he had not been exposed to the Breathing of Fire for long. He simply integrated the move into his own breathing method. "Since I can't cut it off, let's see if I can grind it off!" Looking at the neck that was as hard as rock, Emiya suddenly remembered Inosuke Hashibira's saw-like samurai sword. If the speed was fast enough, he should be able to cut off his head. "Among Urokodaki's disciples, those two left the most impression on me. The strongest one was a kid with a rare hair color. He had flesh-colored hair and a wound on his mouth. The other one was a girl wearing a kimono with flower patterns. Although she was short and had no strength, she was very agile." As soon as he finished speaking, the hand ghost seemed to have thought of something interesting, and he started to hum and laugh on the spot. Even though he didn't know the red-haired boy in front of him, Emiya could still hear what had happened from the words of the hand demon. "Your fox mask is the mark. I remember the mask carved by Urokodaki. It's called the Disaster Removal Mask. Because if you wear it, everyone will be eaten. They are all in my stomach, just like they were killed by Urokodaki himself!" "Shut up!" Just as the red-haired boy's breathing became disordered and his head was gradually filled with anger, an even more angry voice came from behind the hand ghost. "Although I don't know what kind of person Mr. Urokodaki is, it is definitely not something a disgusting creature like you can slander! You should go to hell!" "Oh? You want to get involved too? What can you do without the Nichirin Sword? I'm in a good mood today, so I can spare your life. Maybe you can become a member of the Demon Slayer Corps? Hahahahaha!" The hand ghost didn't even turn his head and let out an extremely violent laugh. Without the Nichirin Sword, Emiya would only become the 51st little devil he had eaten. "Breath of the beast, land's teeth, gnawing!" At that moment, Emiya Shirou turned around and kicked to his side suddenly, like a missile, with a sound of breaking through the air, shooting straight at the neck of the hand demon. "Nani!" The hand demon never expected that two swords would appear in Emiya's hands again. The entire neck was quickly cut on both sides. In an instant, countless arms rushed out from its body like coiled snakes, and suddenly attacked Emiya who was madly swinging the double blades in his hands. "Water Breathing Type 3 Flow Dance" The red-haired young man standing below was not stunned either. At this moment, his heart was filled with anger. Now that he had the opportunity to kill him, he would not let him go! His body was seen moving at high speed like a stream of water, and several afterimages appeared beside Emiya's arms. “Puff——!” All the arms surrounding Emiya were cut off and fell to the ground in an instant.
It didn't have the experience to attack the red-haired boy wearing a fox mask. "Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!" It could feel that in a few seconds, its neck would fall to the ground. "The arms in other directions can be cut off, but this part cannot." "boom----!" A hand suddenly stretched out from under Emiya's abdomen and hit him with a punch, sending him flying backwards. At this moment, the two serrated Sun Blades were only a little bit away from completely cutting off his head. "I won't die here!" "Soleiwado Kana!" The hand ghost's pupils suddenly shrank. "Water Breathing Type 1 Water Surface Slash" The azure water waves gently passed over the hand ghost whose neck was almost cut off. He hardly used much strength, and the hand ghost's head was easily chopped off. "Are you OK!" The red-haired boy saw the hand demon's head falling and quickly rushed to Emiya Shirou who was knocked away. "Cough! Cough!" Emiya coughed up a little blood and stood up with the help of the red-haired boy. After taking a few breaths, Shirou's complexion quickly recovered. A blow of this magnitude did not have a particularly big impact on Emiya, who often exercised. Apart from being somewhat painful, it was not even as great as the previous numbness caused by the shock. "Thanks. My name is Shirou Emiya." Emiya expressed his gratitude to the boy who helped him up. If it hadn't been for his help, I might have been caught by the ghost in mid-air and torn into pieces. I was too careless. I didn't consider that I had no chance of dodging in the air. If my attack failed, I would be a sitting duck. Emiya took today's lesson to heart. "My name is Tanjiro Kamado" Seeing that Emiya was basically able to move freely, Tanjiro did not force him to move. He knew that people who practiced breathing techniques were stronger than ordinary people, so even a heavy blow like that would be nothing to them. He felt that the blow to his head might not hurt him at all. Chapter 36 Passed the Final Selection In the constant fighting, the progress is very obvious.
In just seven days, Emiya not only killed forty-two demons, but also many others. Although those demons were weak, it was easy to block an open attack but difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark. Even if it was the most ordinary demon, in a sneak attack, it would be easy to chop off Shirou Emiya's head with just one claw. In the constant trials of life and death, Emiya had no idea how many times he had been ambushed and how many times he had counterattacked. But it was precisely because of this strong sense of oppression that Emiya gradually realized———— "Sword Breathing Beast Form Wolf Fang!" Shirou Emiya held the toothed Sunwheel Sword in his backhanded hands and rushed towards the demon in front of him at a high speed. A silver-white sword blade shot out from the ground like fangs from bottom to top. The demon had no resistance at all and was cut into three pieces. Then his neck was cut off by a knife. Compared to before, Emiya is now able to perceive the battle scene around him even with his eyes closed. In layman's terms, Emiya has learned the Haki of Observation. But compared to the observation Haki, Emiya's perception is a conditioned reflex developed through constant battles. For example, if someone attacks Emiya by surprise, he will feel a chill on his back, and before he can think, his body will either make an evasive move or counterattack. Then build a model of the battle in your mind. It was as if there was another pair of eyes observing the battlefield. Even with his eyes closed, Emiya was able to exert most of his strength. From the very first battle, Emiya clearly realized that the eyes can often deceive oneself. Emiya, who had experienced so many battles here, understood that what the eyes could observe was always limited. They could not sense everything around them like a satellite. If the enemy was hiding in the dark, then he could only react at the moment of being attacked. If it weren't for the fact that the demons here were not as skilled as they could be, Emiya would have been ambushed and killed by them long ago. The last ghost around had its head slid to the ground as Emiya gently swung his samurai sword. Coincidentally, a red light shone from the east, and the sun once again shone through the layers of leaves onto Tenggui Mountain and onto the faces of everyone participating in the trial. Gradually, people came out of Fujiki Mountain one after another. Some of them knelt on the ground as if they had lost their souls. Some of them threw the Nichirin sword in their hands aside, shouted that they would not be members of the Demon Slayer Corps anymore, and ran away. Others celebrated loudly that they were still alive. Emiya also walked out slowly, followed by a timid-looking young man with golden hair. He hid behind Emiya timidly. Emiya walked out like a star, and in just a few breaths, he was surrounded by people. "Thank you, if it weren't for you, I might have already..." "Thank you for your help, Emiya-san." "I have an eighty-year-old mother above me and————" Before he could finish his words, a group of people stared at him, and if he dared to say that he had an eight-year-old child, they would beat him up. Those who take part in the final trial are generally around 15 years old, and if you have an eight-year-old in primary school, then you get married at the age of seven, which is quite a punishment. In short, Emiya saved many people along the way in Fujiki Mountain, and because he attracted the attention of most of the demons, many people survived to the final round. There were still casualties, but they were not very serious. What's more, before this, there was a situation where only two people died in the entire trial. Except for those two people, all the others passed the final trial. As for Agatsuma Zenitsu, when Emiya found him, he was standing on a very tall tree, and under the tree were a few demons who couldn’t climb trees. . . . . They kept threatening my wife Zenitsu to come down, but he just kept squatting on the tree with his ears covered.
Emiya didn't know how to complain about this scene. He didn't expect that there would be ghosts who couldn't climb trees. Even if they really couldn't climb trees, they could at least cut down trees. The ghosts can't be so weak that they can't even forcibly demolish the trees.
