Chapter 2390 Mikasa VS Asta, Sesshomaru VS Yami!

Giving Durandal a blessing was merely a whim of Yama.

What level the child will reach in the future is not within her consideration.

Soon Gion took the child back, and also took away the servants present, creating a quiet environment for the two to communicate.

This made Yama's impression of Gion even better.

"I came here mainly to talk to you about 'Devil May Cry Swordsman'."

While stroking the shrunken Blue Flame lying beside him, Yama sat behind the tea table on the left side of the stage and looked at Mihawk, getting straight to the point.

"A Devil May Cry swordsman?" Mihawk looked surprised. "What is that?"

"They are swordsmen who cultivate ghostly energy, that's how it is."

Next, Yama spent more than ten minutes explaining his thoughts to him in detail.

Mihawk listened attentively, looking thoughtful.

In his eyes, this ghost swordsman was no different from those swordsmen who cultivated chakra and magic.

However, the Ghost Swordsman is backed by Yama, who is right in front of him.

"So, can you help spread this around?" Yama asked expectantly after finishing his sentence.

"Yudaosai can help promote the Oni Swordsman and attract interested people, but the choice is still in their hands."

Mihawk meant that he would not force swordsmen to cultivate demonic energy.

This displeased Yama.

She hoped that Mihawk could organize a group of people in the Imperial Swordsman's Hall to cultivate demonic energy and become demon swordsmen.

As for respecting personal choices, it's utterly insignificant in the eyes of Yama, who's used to being domineering in the underworld.

Besides, cultivating ghost energy is a good thing; it's not like it's harming them.
Mihawk could sense the change in Yama's emotions and said calmly:

"I have a suggestion: you should first find a few talented swordsmen to become Ghost Swordsmen."

"Then let them demonstrate the various abilities of Devil May Cry to attract more swordsmen to actively train in it."

"The stage could be the 'Top 100 Competition' two months from now, or it could be the 'Kendo Tournament' we hold next year."

"You must be confident that you can amaze everyone with the 'Ghost Swordsman' skill, right?"

Yama was stunned by what he heard, and his final question only fueled his arrogance.

"Of course, ghostly energy and ghostly cries will eventually become the mainstream choices for swordsmen!"

But as soon as she finished speaking, she hesitated slightly: "I just don't know who is suitable to cultivate ghost energy."

Furthermore, with only two months left until the 'Top 100 Competition,' it seems impossible to train them in time.

Even with exceptional talent, one could probably only reach the initial level of mastering ghost energy.

“I have someone to recommend,” Mihawk said.

"Who?"

The Great Yama in her mature female form had her eyes light up and leaned closer to ask curiously.

"Mikasa, the former captain of Historia's royal guard, an Ackerman from the world of Titans."

"In order to participate in this year's 'Top 100 Tournament', she has come to the Imperial Sword Studio to diligently train in swordsmanship and domineering aura."

"They already possess considerable strength."

"And then there was the dual-sword Imperial Arm, Phantom Dance, specially commissioned for her by Queen Historia through the Town of Famous Swords."

"While it might be a stretch to compete for the 'top ten,' making the 'top one hundred' should be no problem."

"But if one cultivates ghost energy and masters the ghost-crying techniques you created, there might be hope of breaking into the 'top ten'."

"The most crucial thing is her belief."

Before Mihawk could finish speaking, Yama suddenly interjected, "Resurrect Alan Jaeger, right?"

She remembered.

Historia mentioned this when I went to see my father before.

At the time, I was displeased with Mikasa's plan to revive Eren.

After all, Eren is now an Admiral of the Hades Army and a very rare Ultimate Titan, making him highly valuable to collectors.

Now it seems that Mikasa is indeed quite suited to cultivating demonic energy.

You should know that if you cultivate your ghost energy to the level of a ghost god, you can freely travel between the human and the underworld.

This alone is enough to motivate Mikasa to train relentlessly.

Then there won't be any need to worry about resurrection; if we want to meet, we can just go to the underworld.

You can even have children!
After all, ghosts and gods are the sublimation of the soul, and their nature has completely become that of the natives of the underworld.

They can also serve as a top-tier combat force in the Starfish Underworld.

An absolute win-win outcome.

Yanluo became excited: "Great! This Mikasa is not bad. Where is she? I want to see her right away!"

"She's sparring with Asta at Practice Field 4. You can go check it out."

Mihawk sensed the location briefly and then transmitted the information using his mental power.

"Okay, I'll be staying here for the next few days. Have someone prepare a room for me!"

Yama didn't stand on ceremony. He left behind a single sentence and instantly vanished in purple flames.

"Ok?"

Still lying on the tatami mat, 'Two-Tailed' raised his head, revealing a confused look in his eyes.

It seems like I've been forgotten by Yama, the King of Hell.

“Let’s go, I’ll have Gion take you to her room,” Mihawk said, standing up.

He had previously met the 'Eight-Tailed' Gyuki who followed Shanks.

There is also a Nine-Tailed Island near Wajima Island.

Therefore, I am quite familiar with these tailed beasts of the ninja world.

Yanluo has arrived at the fourth training ground of Yudaozhai.

But she did not reveal herself; instead, she remained hidden in the air, overlooking Mikasa and Asta, who were engaged in a fierce battle.

Although it was nighttime, there were quite a few people watching the game from the sidelines.

There were men and women of varying ages, all of whom were swordsmen living here.

If you look closely, you can even see Zoro and Kuina's tiny figures.

Meanwhile, at the adjacent practice field number three.

It turned out to be Sesshomaru and Yami Suke exchanging blows under the moonlight.

The intense clanging sounds continued incessantly, and the sparks from the clash of swords rose and fell in waves.

Neither of them used sorcery or magic.

It's a contest of pure swordsmanship, strength, speed, reaction time, and combat experience.

However, Yama only glanced at it and then paid no more attention.

After all, Sesshomaru and Yami could not possibly cultivate her demonic energy.

Therefore, the main focus of attention was on Mikasa, who wielded two swords and transformed into streaks of eerie green afterimages.

Where the blade flashes, a whirlwind rages wildly—is this a special effect of the Breath of the Wind?

No, this is real wind force; it seems she has learned the true breathing technique.

Then look at the red and white balls that occasionally catch the eye around the waist.

That should be the pineapple chain blade she obtained on Noah's Ark.

Asta, who is currently fighting Mikasa, has entered a black state.

The right side of his body was completely covered by anti-magic power, and a black magic wing unfolded behind him.

This gives him the ability to fly at supersonic speeds.

Wielding the broad-bladed Demon Slayer Greatsword in one hand and the slender, sharp Demon Slayer Sword in the other, he continuously parried Mikasa's powerful attacks.
"Ahhhh!"

"This time I must win, I must become stronger, I must enter the top ten, and I must revive my mother and Libe's mother!"

Asta's fighting style is as noisy as ever.

The nickname "Roaring Emperor" is truly fitting.

Its strength is also quite formidable, although anti-magic power is ineffective.

However, the terrifying power contained within his body still allowed him to be evenly matched with Mikasa.

Besides.

You can also sense the presence of Armament Haki and Ki on Asta.

It seems he didn't learn any breathing techniques. No, he chose the Beast Breathing technique developed by Hashibira Inosuke.

Without flashy special effects, it can enhance its primal wildness and fighting instincts.

In particular, the Breath of the Beast represents a subversion of traditional breathing techniques.

Asta is considered a heretic in the Black Grass World who has no magic.

Similarly, it rewrites the rules of battle in an unconventional way, perfectly echoing the rebellious spirit of Beast Breathing.

This is also why he instinctively gave up Thunder Breathing and Flame Breathing.

Although Asta himself didn't think that much about it.
Mikasa's only advantage lies in her more refined dual-wielding swordsmanship.

And the special ability of 'Ghost Transformation' of 'Teigu' Phantom Dance'.
