Demon Slayer: You call paying to get stronger "lightning"?

Page 109

Hearing Ryosuke's words, Shinobu Kocho was a little dumbfounded.

Especially that strange metaphor at the end.

Both appropriate and... intriguing!

Butterfly touched the tip of her nose and chuckled dryly a few times.

"Mr. Ryosuke, you were... a good person before, weren't you?"

Chapter 104 Fog Ruins

"What kind of talk is that!"

Ryosuke immediately objected: "Of course I'm a good person! A law-abiding citizen!"

Would a good person throw explosives into a latrine?

Shinobu Kocho expressed her doubts.

"Cough cough, it's not important, it's not important!"

Ryosuke, unable to withstand her scrutinizing gaze, turned his head away somewhat awkwardly.

In his past life, that brat hadn't even blasted cow dung when he was a kid!

"Just tell me if this is feasible!"

"Yes, yes."

Butterfly nodded thoughtfully.

"If the goal is to maximize the area affected, the high temperature after the explosion would ideally cause the toxins to appear as a mist."

"As for toxicity, we can increase the dosage and purify it further; that's not a problem."

"only……"

Seeing her hesitant expression, Ryosuke raised his hand, waiting for her to continue.

Shinobu Kocho continued.

"High concentrations of wisteria flower toxins will inevitably have an impact on the human body. Your idea is feasible, but it is too dangerous to carry out."

"Of course, safety comes first."

Ryosuke wouldn't be foolish enough to use this trick in a residential area just to kill a demon.

Putting aside whether it's respectable or not, Yaozai wouldn't agree to it.

Shinobu Kocho continued.

"One more thing, if you want this move to have an unexpected effect, the person who uses it must be at the center of the explosion, which is where the toxin is most concentrated."

"Although there is an antidote, it still causes harm to the human body."

Every medicine has some degree of toxicity, let alone poisons that can kill evil spirits.

But Ryosuke waved his hand.

"You don't need to worry about that."

Confused, Shinobu asked tentatively, "Didn't Mr. Ryosuke want to use it himself?"

“I never said I was going to use it myself,” Ryosuke said, shrugging.

Shinobu Kocho immediately understood and revealed a cunning smile.

The combination of explosion and poison made her instantly realize that Ryosuke's move was intended for Tengen Uzui.

After all, my brother Hua Li has excellent physical fitness and resistance to poison. He can even withstand the poison of Brother Liu Jifu Taro.

This bit of wisteria poison is nothing to him.

Moreover, there is an antidote, making it foolproof and a perfect professional killing move for him.

Just one word!

And what is art?

Art is Patrick Star!

The butterfly chuckled and agreed.

"Ryosuke, rest assured, once it's developed, I will have someone send it to Momoyama as soon as possible."

"Hmm~ You're so sensible!"

Ryosuke nodded in satisfaction, and after discussing some details with Shinobu Kocho, he prepared to leave.

Firstly, I wanted to explain this idea to Uzui Tengen.

Secondly, Ryosuke wanted to see if he had thoroughly studied the score so he could learn something himself.

As Ryosuke stepped out the door, a swift shadow swooped down and landed on his shoulder.

"Gah! Ryosuke Naruhashi! Urgent order!"

"Rank B swordsman Kiritani Rika and Rank D swordsman Kocho Kanae have encountered Lower Moon Four: Mist Ruins in Mist Valley! The rest of the supporting team members have suffered heavy casualties! You are ordered to provide immediate support!"

Misty Valley, Lower Moon's Fourth Stage: Misty Ruins?

This name is completely unfamiliar from the original work; it's clear that Muzan, the scoundrel, forcibly promoted him to fill the vacancy of the Lower Moon.

Its blood demon magic and power are completely unknown.

This uncertainty is more unsettling than any known formidable adversary.

Moreover, given Rika and Kanae's current strength, encountering a Lower Moon would likely be extremely dangerous for them!

The sound of shattering glassware came from the medicine preparation room at the back.

Shinobu Kocho rushed out, her young face filled with panic.

"Mr. Ryosuke! My sister and Rika... did they encounter a Lower Moon?"

Kanae is Shinobu's only family member, and Ryosuke, understanding her emotions, immediately said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, Shinobu! I'm on my way right now! Kanae and Rika will definitely be alright!"

"I also need to go!"

Shinobu Kocho shouted it out, her eyes defiant.

"Mr. Ryosuke, please take me with you! I want to see my sister safe and sound with my own eyes!"

Ryosuke immediately agreed.

Having someone to look after you is much safer than Shinobu going alone.

In order to get there as quickly as possible, Ryosuke carried Shinobu Kocho on his back, his body crackling with lightning, like an arrow released from a bow.

The night was as dark as ink, so thick it was impossible to see through.

What was originally just ordinary mountain forest night fog has become unusually thick, and visibility has dropped sharply.

Kanae and her companion, along with several S-rank team members, proceeded cautiously.

They were tasked with investigating a series of disappearances of travelers in the area.

"Ugh, this awful weather..."

Rika complained softly, glancing at Kanae walking ahead.

Her back remained upright, and she remained calm even in this environment.

Pear Blossom pouted, feeling inexplicably irritated.

She didn't like Kanae, or rather, she didn't like Kanae's overly perfect and gentle nature.

The thought of Ryosuke's care for the Butterfly Sisters and the two sisters stirred a sense of crisis within him.

That Shinobu Kocho is so mischievous, and her older sister is so... Humph!

Kanae didn't pay any attention, and her voice carried through the mist.

"Everyone be careful, this fog isn't normal. Everyone stay close to me and don't get separated. This could very well be..."

"what--!"

Before the words were finished, a shrill scream rang out.

Kanae and Rika exchanged a glance and rushed toward the source of the sound!

But all they saw was the headless body of one of their team members lying there.

Fresh blood gushed out like a stream.

"when?!"

Pear Blossom's pupils contracted sharply, and cold sweat beaded on her palms as she gripped the knife.

She didn't even sense the ghost's presence!

Just then, a sharp whooshing sound came from the side, aimed directly at Kanae!

"Kanae!"

Rika exclaimed in surprise, for her Nichirin Blade had already been drawn!

Breath of Thunder·Two Types·Rice Soul!

The slash exploded, but Kanae dodged it in time and was unharmed.

However, Pear Blossom's left arm was slashed open with a deep, bone-revealing gash!

Kanae rushed over immediately.

"Pear Blossom..."

Despite the pain, Pear Blossom kept her eyes fixed on the front.

Footsteps drew closer, and a figure gradually became clearer in the thick fog.

She was an extremely beautiful woman with silver hair like a waterfall and blood-red, bewitching eyes.

She was dressed in a well-fitting white kimono, her figure slender, noble and elegant.
