Chapter 448 Learning, Kyoto Tamayo
After a brief moment of mental confusion.
Fortunately, Yoichi Ubuyashiki understood what the important thing was next.
"Let's put this matter aside for now. The purpose of our meeting today is to deal with the Twelve Demon Moons." Thinking too much about it now is pointless.
Some things are not problems that can be solved by their generation alone.
Having fought the demons for so many years, Ubuyashiki deeply understands that ending things is not so easy.
Although each generation hopes to end the "curse" in their own generation, it is obviously impossible.
Just like Ubuyashiki Yoon now, even when the Demon Slayer Corps became stronger than before, he never thought he could kill Muzan Kibutsuji in his generation.
"I cannot grant your request," Ubuyashiki Yoon replied to Busujima Hisato.
"Is that so? Then I'll write it down for later." Hisato Busujima expressed his thoughts.
That's why he wanted to participate in this battle; he's a battle maniac by nature.
Besides becoming stronger, another reason he joined the Demon Slayer Corps was to fight recklessly, and he craved battles with the strong.
Fighting powerful demons was something he naturally craved.
Ubuyashiki Yoon secured another spot, but he didn't relax.
Because he knew about Hisato Busujima's situation, he knew that someone like him, if he were to fall into demonhood, would be extremely terrifying.
It may not be recorded elsewhere, but it is recorded in the family history of Ubuyashiki.
The Demon Slayer Corps has also had traitors.
The allure of immortality is something most people cannot resist.
Chunzhu is a woman who looks like a Yamato Nadeshiko (ideal Japanese woman), and she also expressed her willingness to participate.
"I also want to see what kind of power the so-called Twelve Demon Moons are, so that I will have a good way to deal with them if I accidentally encounter other Twelve Demon Moons in the future."
This is also a woman that Ubuyashiki Yoon cannot see through, unlike the Winter Pillar and Summer Pillar who are involved with official nobles.
This woman had only joined the Demon Slayer Corps a year ago. According to the information gathered, she was a shrine maiden at a certain shrine before that.
It wasn't a well-known or official shrine; you could say she was a wild shrine maiden.
With extraordinary talent, he quickly mastered the breathing technique and stood out from the crowd.
And they might even be a hidden powerhouse within the Demon Slayer Corps.
Pillar is already a strong person, so why say he is a hidden strong person?
This person had also fought against Rengoku Makijuro, and although Rengoku Makijuro was the victor, Rengoku Makijuro told him about it afterward.
I have a feeling that this woman is hiding her strength and is not going all out.
"Since Kagura is participating, I'll participate too." The next one to express his opinion was Akihachi.
His name is Yin, a twenty-year-old young man who joined the Demon Slayer Corps because of Kagura, and he also has terrifying talent.
In addition, he has a rare bloodline and possesses special abilities. His hearing is extremely sensitive, similar to Zenitsu Agatsuma's talent in the story.
Now only Rain Pillar and Illusion Pillar have not yet expressed their opinions.
"In that case, I'll participate too. It'll be a good opportunity to see the strength of the Twelve Demon Moons," said the Illusion Pillar first.
With more people, things are easier to get done, and they can also assess the strength of the demons, since their future enemies will also be demons.
After the Illusion Pillar made its statement, the Rain Pillar followed suit.
They agreed.
The Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps are now divided into three major factions.
One of them is the Pillar of the Five Breathing Techniques. They firmly stand on the side of Ubuyashiki and are extremely dedicated to exterminating demons.
The official faction consists of Dong-joo and Ha-joo, who have only been in the party for a short time and therefore have relatively little influence.
The rest are the neutral parties.
Aside from Chun-joo and Chu-joo potentially teaming up, the rest are all free agents, each with their own ideas.
Upon hearing the other pillars' ideas, the Winter Pillar and Summer Pillar, while not changing their minds, also decided to go and see for themselves.
Chunzhu Kagura's words still touched them.
They had killed quite a few demons, but none of them were considered powerful, and they had no experience fighting truly powerful demons.
Even if you don't go into battle, it's good to observe and understand the difference between the enemy and ourselves.
Japan is a small country, and there might be the Twelve Demon Moons in their territory. What should we do if we encounter them?
Yoichi Ubuyashiki was satisfied with achieving this result.
Even if Xia Zhu and Dong Zhu don't intervene, they should be able to resolve the situation.
Next comes the action.
Because it is a group facing demons, in order to perfectly slay the demons, in addition to the Pillars, other Class A members will also go.
Of course, they are not the main combatants; their primary role is to prevent unforeseen circumstances.
One of the objectives is to rescue the rescuers, stop the demons from escaping, and witness the power of the Twelve Demon Moons.
Having a more intuitive understanding is essential for dealing with ghosts effectively.
Hisato Busujima even suggested bringing other people along.
The others were naturally his disciples of the Poison Island School, and they were also there to see what it was like. There wouldn't be many people, just one or two.
Let them see what a true strongman is; this can also be seen as a way for him to spur on his disciples.
The other pillars also bring their own people, who are all considered subordinates of their faction.
There are members of the Demon Slayer Corps, and there are those who haven't joined.
The power of the Demon Slayer Corps is already being dispersed, and this is a situation that Ubuyashiki Yoon cannot change.
After the discussions were completed and the date was set, the meeting concluded.
Of course, after that comes the battle between the pillars, and warmongers won't let this opportunity pass.
Among them, Rengoku Makijuro was challenged the most, even though his injuries had not yet healed.
Purgatory Family.
Inside the room, Lucci was reading a book when suddenly the shadow behind him flickered, and a figure emerged from it.
A black dog emerged from Lucci's shadow.
It was the special puppy that Lucci brought into this world.
Not only has it mastered Nen, but it has also been transformed by demon blood into a "yokai".
He relayed the information from the previous meeting to Lucci.
His ability to hide in the shadows allows him to easily steal all sorts of information.
"The winds of this world are finally starting to blow." Lucci smiled after hearing the news, completely unconcerned.
"It seems I really need to study the so-called Yin-Yang arts properly, otherwise it would be too boring if I couldn't even personally watch the fun that's being led."
In recent years, besides his own training, Lucci has mainly focused on controlling yokai such as Nekomata. As for Muzan Kibutsuji, Lucci simply lets him do as he pleases.
I had no intention of manipulating him; after all, the only way to manipulate him would be through bribery.
He was granted new "abilities".
However, Lucci in this world cannot do it yet; the real Lucci needs to take action. But the real Lucci is also very busy right now and is still on the flight path.
I can't concentrate.
The information about the Twelve Demon Moons was also revealed by Lucci through Neko, who mentioned the Demon Slayer Corps.
It's time to test the Demon Slayer Corps' current strength.
"Fortunately, this isn't too difficult." Lucci put down the book, began grinding ink, and took out paper to start writing.
At the same time, his spiritual energy, or "spiritual power," also began to circulate.
Soon a "talisman" was written.
According to the information gathered by Lucci, in addition to innate abilities, the means of using spiritual power include the use of words of power, which can also be described as incantations.
Of course, it's not something you can use whenever you want; you need to visualize deities or the natural world before you can use it.
It doesn't borrow the power of heaven and earth. If we look at it in Lucci's words, it's more like the power of my own thinking, or the power of idealism.
Besides that, there is the power of words.
However, after further research, Lucci felt that it was more like using language and writing to understand certain rules, and then leveraging and applying them.
A firm belief is crucial; otherwise, even if you possess spiritual power, if your belief is not firm enough, the spells you cast may be very weak, or you may not even be able to use them at all.
Of course, there are also those with powerful talents who can use extraordinary powers without these.
Similar to how ninjas in Naruto usually need to form hand seals, some ninjas simply clap their hands, or don't even need to clap their hands.
Because their talent is strong enough, they can actively manipulate the rules using their spiritual power.
That's the privilege of the chosen one, an ability they're born with.
Obviously, Lucci couldn't do that because he was "disguised".
However, given his knowledge and learning pace, he can quickly learn these skills.
Furthermore, the blood demon arts of monsters and demons also fall into this category.
After all, they also possess "qi".
The talisman that Lucci is drawing now is similar to Yushiro's ability in the anime, allowing him to see the surrounding scene through the talisman.
In the final battle, Yushiro was also considered one of the MVPs.
Of course, at this point in time, Yushiro has not yet been born, and it is still unknown whether he will become a demon.
Kyoto.
A beautiful woman with long black hair, dressed in a kimono, walked carefully down the street at night, observing cautiously.
Kyoto's nights belong to yokai (supernatural beings), a saying that has been around for a long time, and many Kyoto residents have also heard tales of yokai sightings.
Basically, once the time of the Demon's Appearance is over, everyone hides in their own homes, but no one expected that there would be a woman walking on the streets at night.
The howling of stray cats could be heard coming from the alleyway in the distance.
"You're deliberately heading to remote places, are you looking for us? Unknown ghost!" A voice suddenly came from that moment.
The woman is looking up at the sky.
Under the bright moonlight, a figure was flying in the air, its black wings flapping.
Looking at the other person's appearance, the name of a monster, "Karasu Tengu," flashed through the woman's mind.
This female demon, named Tamayo, is considered an important character in the Demon Slayer anime.
This person is also in a very bad situation.
Hundreds of years ago, Tamayo, who was still a human, suffered from an incurable disease. In order to see her child grow up, she did everything she could to find a cure.
Later, deceived by Muzan Kibutsugu, she became a demon and, in a state of uncontrollable rage, killed her husband and child.
If it weren't for Yoriichi Tsugikuni, she would probably still be under Muzan Kibutsuji's control.
She was also the first demon in the story to break free from Muzan's control.
Furthermore, he later created Yushiro, a demon who was not controlled by Muzan.
The way Nekomata creates monsters is very similar to the way she creates demons.
But it's only similar; there are still significant differences.
After all, it contained Lucci's power.
Tamayo looked at the monster in the sky. She hadn't expected to be confronted so soon after arriving in Kyoto, but this suited her just the way she wanted it.
Tamayo was not originally in Kyoto.
Since breaking free from Muzan's control, she has been conducting research.
Unlike the Demon Slayer Corps, who knew nothing about Muzan, Tamayo, who had been by Muzan's side for many years, knew him very well.
He also witnessed Muzan in a very disheveled state.
When Yoriichi Tsugikuni failed to kill Muzan that time, Tamayo already understood that Muzan would not appear in front of anyone again.
It might only appear after Yoriichi Tsugikuni dies.
But the situation was worse than she had imagined. Even though Yoriichi Tsugikuni had been dead for many years, Muzan was rarely seen.
In addition to the demons' regenerative abilities, there are no characters like Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
Beheading won't kill the opponent, and as for the sun, Tamayo doubts whether anyone could actually expose Muzan to sunlight.
Therefore, she came to the conclusion that only by turning Muzan back into a human could she have a chance of winning.
After all, Tamayo was also a demon, so naturally she couldn't research wisteria poison like Shinobu Kocho, otherwise she might poison herself to death first.
Otherwise, given Tamayo's abilities, it's not impossible that she could develop a poison capable of killing Muzan within a century.
In the anime, the research on potions that can turn people into humans only truly got on track after they met Tanjiro.
Because she needs the blood of the Twelve Demon Moons for her research.
However, the world has changed so much in recent years that she doesn't even know what exactly happened.
At first, she thought the monster was a special kind of ghost.
Then research was conducted, and a terrible fact was discovered.
That's right, those monsters are indeed ghosts, and they're actually animals transformed.
Having studied demon blood for many years, Tamayo never imagined that animals could become demons, or that animals could withstand demon blood.
Despite Muzan's strong control over demon blood, even demons who utter his name will be killed.
But in reality, it's not as perfect as you might imagine.
At least Muzan cannot use his demon blood to turn people into demons 100% of the time; only those who can withstand the test can become demons.
Now that animals can also turn into demons, Tamayo comes to a terrifying conclusion: Muzan has become stronger.
This is not good news.
Furthermore, as more information about the ghosts is revealed, her living space is shrinking. Yushiro is not yet around, and without his Blood Demon Art to help her, it will be difficult to hide.
In addition, the fragrance of wisteria flowers is now widespread.
Then she heard legends about the monsters of Kyoto, which were quite different from the monsters she had encountered and studied before, so how could Tamayo not be curious?
So she came to Kyoto, hoping to find out about the yokai (supernatural beings).
"Oh, judging from your appearance, you came here specifically to find us?" The tengu in the air also keenly noticed the change in Tamayo's eyes.
