Demon Slayer: Add friends to become stronger! Zenitsu is my best friend

The night was deep, and the shadows in the dense forest were like a heavy curtain pressing down on Akaza's chest.

His mood was like the sea after being ravaged by a storm, turbulent and difficult to calm down.

Muzan's harsh and contemptuous words echoed in his heart, like a sharp blade, constantly cutting his self-esteem and anger.

Akaza walked into the forest, and every step he took on the thick fallen leaves made a dull sound.

His eyes wandered around in the dense forest and finally stopped on a particularly thick tree.

The diameter of this tree was thick enough for several adults to hug, and it was lush and leafy, like the oldest old man in this forest.

But at this moment, this ancient tree was just the object of Akaza's anger. A fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he took a deep breath of the cold night air, and then swung his fist with all his strength.

The sound of the wind brought by the fist almost formed a sharp whistle, and the speed was so fast that it was almost impossible to catch.

Every punch that hit the tree trunk was accompanied by a dull impact and wood chips flying.

Akaza's punches were not only fast but also incredibly powerful. Every impact made the tree trunk vibrate, as if one could feel the fibers inside the tree breaking under each impact.

""You little bastard, I'll remember your face. Next time, I'll smash your head when we meet!" Akaza roared as he increased his strength.

With each impact, Akaza's facial expression became more distorted and ferocious.

His fists were like a tireless striking machine, constantly carving deep dents on the tree trunk.

Sawdust and sap mixed together and splashed on his face and clothes, but he seemed to feel nothing.

As Akaza struck angrily, the tree finally made a dull cracking sound under the continuous impact.

Akaza used all his strength to hit the tree trunk with his last punch, breaking the thick tree abruptly.

The trunk broke in the middle, and the upper part slowly fell to one side. It fell sideways with a loud crashing sound.

The surrounding small trees and shrubs were crushed by the force of the falling tree, and the whole forest seemed to tremble at this moment.

The sound of wind and breaking caused by the broken tree trunks seemed extremely deafening in the silent night.

Akaza stood there, breathing heavily.

His eyes were fixed on the slowly falling tree, but the anger in his heart was not released into the air along with the fall of the tree, but became more and more intense.

At this time, he no longer had the idea of letting Luochuan become a ghost and fight with him. The only thought in his head was to trample Luochuan to death the next time they met.

Butterfly House

"Being able to suppress the upper rank for a short time is really amazing."

Shinobu Kocho praised Luochuan while checking her body.

Although she did not have a clear understanding of the strength of the upper rank, she knew the strength of the Flame Pillar.

The upper rank demon that even the Flame Pillar could not contend with was suppressed by the boy in front of him who had just joined the Demon Slayer Corps for more than two months.

Luochuan's talent was a bit too strong.

"No, Miss Shinobu, you can't just see me suppressing Akaza and ignore Mr. Rengoku.

He is the most critical link in this incident. Without him to share most of the attacks from Akaza, I am just struggling to survive."

Luochuan waved his hand. He knew his own strengths and didn't think he could compete with Akaza just because he suppressed Akaza for a short time.

If Akaza had focused on him and ignored his elder brother at the beginning, he might not have survived this time.

So his role is very critical, but his elder brother's role is irreplaceable.

"I know that Mr. Rengoku was seriously injured this time. He has multiple fractures and his eyes were severely injured. He will probably need to rest for a month or two."

Shinobu Kocho thought of Rengoku's injury and sighed.

Rengoku was injured and the loss of a pillar-level demon slayer would have a significant impact on his strength.

But fortunately, it was just an injury. He will get better after this period of time.

Thanks to Luochuan for finally restraining Akaza....

After checking his body, Luochuan returned to his room.

Compared with his elder brother, the injuries he received in the battle with Akaza were not serious. His ribs were broken and his arm was slightly dislocated. He just needed to recuperate for a while.

This period of time was just right for integrating his new rewards.

Skills: Dream, Blood Demon Art Destruction Killing·Luo Needle, and super qualifications to be integrated.

Thinking of this, Luochuan's steps became lighter.

After integrating these, his strength should be equal to that of an ordinary pillar level, right?

Add to that the transparent world, wow.....

Back in the room, Luo Chuan first poured a glass of water to moisten his throat, then sat on the tatami in the room, adjusted his sitting posture, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and began to concentrate.

【Do you want to choose to fuse the skill now: Dream?】

【Yes】

As his consciousness focused, Luochuan felt a slight tremor gradually spread in his spiritual world.

This tremor was accompanied by a gradual sense of clarity, as if his consciousness was being guided to a completely new realm.

A strong spiritual force poured into the depths of Luochuan's consciousness.

This power seemed to be quietly reshaping his spiritual framework, making his perception more acute and his spiritual world broader.

In the process of fusion, Luochuan felt that a wonderful change was happening in his spiritual realm.

His thinking began to become clearer, and his thoughts were like a delicate pattern outlined on the canvas by a delicate brush.

Although this change was not drastic, for Luochuan, it felt like suddenly seeing a ray of bright light in a fog.

With the deepening of fusion, Luochuan's spiritual world was gradually filled with new power, and he could feel the boundaries of his consciousness being pushed open layer by layer.

This feeling was both wonderful and slightly uneasy, like stepping into an unknown realm.

His mind seemed to have a more direct connection with the world around him.

In this process, Luochuan's spiritual power seemed to have been newly purified and strengthened. He felt that he could immerse himself in the surrounding environment more easily, and even feel the subtle changes brought about by the tiny air flow.

"After the fusion of"Nightmare" and"Dream", Luo Chuan clearly felt that his mental power had made a substantial leap.

He can now easily sense the mental fluctuations of other people, and even to a certain extent, can subtly guide or influence their thoughts.

As time went on, the fusion was gradually completed.

Luo Chuan slowly opened his eyes. He could feel that the improvement in his realm was not great, and it could only be said to be better than nothing.

After all, Nightmare's realm strength was not much different from his.

However, his mental power had been greatly enhanced, making Luo Chuan feel as if he could bring the people around him into the dream with a casual wave of his hand.

After fiddling with the mental fluctuations brought by the dream for a while,

Luo Chuan turned his attention to the next skill to be fused - Blood Demon Art Destruction Kill·Luo Needle!

【Do you choose to fuse the blood demon art to destroy the killing Luo needle now?】

【yes!】
