Demon Slayer: The Journey That Began When I Became Yoriichi's Sister

Chapter 361 Rallying Signal

She knew it very well.

The fact that I would have a hard time surviving the final battle.

Shinobu Kocho knew this from the very beginning.

Because she was too weak.

Even later, Tanjiro and others have surpassed her.

Whether it's talent or effort, she can't compare to others.

Shinobu Kocho never harbored any illusions; she believed she would definitely survive to the end and see... tomorrow, and the sun of the future, with Ikuko.

She was prepared for this when the final battle arrived.

only……

Shinobu suddenly felt a pang of regret. If only she had let Ikuko rest for a few more days back then, they could have had more time together.

But she easily dismissed the idea as soon as it crossed her mind.

She shouldn't let her own selfish desires jeopardize important matters; her original decision was correct.

Although……

She really regrets it.

Tanjiro lay on the side, his life hanging in the balance. The others were forced back, and this time no one would interrupt them.

It's already very clear.

My own fate.

There are still so many things I want to do with Yuko...

Shinobu Kocho closed her eyes as if giving up the struggle, quietly awaiting death.

Just as Kokushibo was certain he was about to behead the woman before him, a wisp of crimson, silk-like blood mist suddenly drifted out from Shinobu Kocho's arms, rising up indistinctly.

"That is?!"

Sensing the familiar aura, Kokushibo's eyes narrowed slightly, but his hand continued its movements, striking directly at the rising blood mist.

A gentle breeze brushed my cheek, but the pain I had imagined did not come.

"Ren, it's not time to sleep yet."

An unexpected sound was right next to her, and Shinobu Kocho suddenly opened her eyes, looking around blankly.

Kokushibo's demon blade hovered in front of Shinobu Kocho, but was shrouded in a cloud of bloody mist and could not fall an inch.

Following the trail of blood mist, right beside Shinobu Kocho, at the point where the blood mist connected, a crimson figure was gradually taking shape.

The source of the blood mist was the potion in her arms.

No, it wasn't just her; there were others too. The potions in their arms spontaneously broke free, converging around Shinobu Kocho and swirling around them, completely healing their injuries.

Everyone was speechless with astonishment at this miraculous scene.

A glint of light appeared in Shinobu Kocho's eyes, and her eyes widened slightly:

"Ikuko?"

Yuko's figure, made of blood, appeared exceptionally transparent. The crimson outline was sculpted like ice crystals, making her look like a red crystal.

In appearance, it is quite similar to Doma's Blood Demon Art 'Crystal Child'.

Sculpt ice into tiny ice figures that look exactly like themselves and can even perfectly use their abilities.

Yuko's move was a replica of Doma's, but she considered it an upgraded version.

In fact, she is remotely manipulating her own blood.

"Caught up."

Yuuko, who was far away on her way to find Muzan, dealt with a group of henchmen and sensed what was happening on Shinobu's side, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

She couldn't keep multi-threaded operations running indefinitely, but just now, she inexplicably felt a pang of anxiety, as if something bad was about to happen.

In a hasty glance, she saw that bastard brother Kuroshibo bullying her ninja.

Yu Zi, whose face was as red as crystal, said simply, "I can't maintain this state indefinitely. I have to take advantage of the fact that I can still move and defeat him."

As she spoke, she kept an eye on everyone's condition.

Tanjiro's external injuries have been healed by her, but he seems to have suffered too much of a shock, which is why he can't wake up immediately and can't be considered a combatant.

The others, however, recovered to a considerable extent with her help.

It would be difficult for this group of people to defeat Kokushibo.

In Yuko's view, the strength of the Pillars was too disparate and uneven.

Unfortunately, the Pillars present were among the weaker ones, with only Kanae being somewhat of a threat.

But in front of Kokushibo, no Pillar could compare.

Perhaps the rock pillars with the stripes activated could put up a fight, but that's only in theory, and they might pay with their lives.

It would be better if there were more people.

Yuko acted on her thought, sensing the location of her own blood.

The blood owners are not too far from Kokushibo's location, but they are somewhat scattered.

There's another small team, and Yushiro's aura is there...

She could sense that her blood had already been used, and luckily, at least no one had...

While observing everyone's condition through her own blood, Yuko suddenly stumbled and almost fell flat on her face.

Her delicate face was slightly contorted, and she bit her lip as if she was enduring something.

Meanwhile, the Pillars, who were blindly searching for Muzan and the Upper Moons, all stopped in their tracks with surprise and uncertainty, watching the wisp of blood mist drifting from their arms.

This is... Miss Yuko's blood?

Is she manipulating things?

Unlike the others, Shinazugawa Sanemi stared blankly at the blood energy writhing like seaweed in front of him.

What is going on?

He couldn't have guessed it!

Please be straightforward about what you're trying to say!

"Ha..." Yuko painfully suppressed her laughter. No, no, there were still important things to do. She had to guide them to Kokushibo's location.

She now knows who used her blood.

Too messed up.

Yuko adjusted her emotions and directed her blood to guide everyone.

"That direction is..."

Kyojuro Rengoku, who was walking with Giyu Tomioka, frowned as he looked in the direction the bloody aura had drifted away.

From the beginning, they were forced to go in that direction by the buildings here.

The layout within the alternate dimension city is constantly changing.

Realizing this was a trick by Muzan's side, they naturally couldn't go along with it and decided to move in the opposite direction.

But now Ms. Yuko also means the same thing.

Do we need reinforcements?

“Tomioka!” Kyojuro made his decision.

"Hmm." Giyu Tomioka simply nodded calmly, took the lead, and followed the guidance of the blood energy.

Kyojuro smiled and chased after him, asking, "Speaking of which, what kind of miso soup do you like?"

"We haven't really eaten together much yet, after we go out...￥@%@%"

Giyu Tomioka: "..."

This guy is so noisy...

"Huh, does this mean I have to go in that direction?" Yuzui Tengen looked in surprise in the direction indicated by the blood energy.

"As expected, something is happening in that direction." Gyomei Himejima, who had reunited with Zenitsu, looked in the direction indicated by the blood mist.

Although he cannot see it, he can still sense it.

Thus, thanks to Muzan and Yuuko's efforts, the other Pillars successfully made their way to Kokushibo's location.
