Reincarnation as Lower Rank Five in Demon Slayer

Tanjiro, having learned the truth from his father Tanjuro, couldn't believe that the demon the old man had mentioned was real.

Suddenly, Nezuko, who was lying on the bed, grew sharp teeth and leaped up to pounce on her father, who was closest to her.

Upon realizing that his daughter had turned into a demon and was lunging at him, Tanjuro immediately raised his hand to restrain Nezuko and pinned her to the bed.

"Father, what happened to Nezuko? Why is she like this?"

Tanjuro wanted to know too, since he had never encountered this situation before.

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and hold your sister down, I can't hold her down any longer."

"oh--!"

Tanjiro answered immediately.

Nezuko, now a demon, was bound hand and foot by the father and son.

Nezuko, who had been transformed into a demon, fell asleep shortly after being tied up with ropes.

"Phew! Finally, we're safe."

The father and son both breathed a sigh of relief. But they didn't know what to do about Nezuko's condition.

In the next room, Tanjiro's mother, with her youngest children, watched all this with great concern.

"Is this it? This is the place the adults were talking about, but there are so many of them."

Half-day dog ​​crept closer cautiously, looking like a timid old man.

Just as the dog was about to approach the house, Tanjuro suddenly turned around.

“Who is there!”

Immediately, Tanjuro picked up his axe and charged toward where Hantengu was.

"what?"

Hantengu looked utterly astonished. How could this sickly-looking man have discovered him like this? With his Upper Moon strength, this shouldn't be possible.

Before he could think, Bantiangou quickly dodged, but his chest was still scratched.

"How is this possible?" Half-Heaven Dog stared in disbelief at the wound on his chest.

"Something's not right. This man is very strange."

Seeing the moves he had never seen before but which were terrifying to even ghosts, and with the wounds on his body that had just been inflicted, Hantengu felt every cell in his body tremble.

"Why is this happening?"

Half-day Dog, who had never encountered this situation before, was a little confused.

"It's a pity that I almost managed to cut the little man inside the heart of this inhuman monster."

Tanjuro sighed softly, feeling a pang of regret.

Just now, Tanjuro, who had already opened the Transparent World, saw the tiny figure of Hantengu hiding in the heart and immediately knew that this was the monster's weakness.

Next, Tanjuro used Hinokami Kagura (a flawed version of Sun Breathing) to engage in a fierce battle with Hantengu. Tanjuro fought with increasing ferocity and nearly severed Hantengu's neck several times, but because his axe was not a Nichirin Blade, he was unable to inflict any effective damage on Hantengu.

"I can win. As long as I keep fighting like this and wear down the opponent's stamina, I can win." Hantengu secretly calculated.

Upon discovering that the iron axe wielded by the man he was fighting was not made from ore containing solar energy, and considering that he was unharmed even after being beheaded, Half-Heaven Dog felt completely detached.

Hantengu began using various Blood Demon Arts in conjunction with his sutras to attack, completely disregarding the risk of injury. After all, as an Upper Moon demon, his self-healing ability was terrifyingly strong, and a mere decapitation was nothing to him.

Tanjiro, who was standing in front of his mother and younger siblings, watched his father fight and felt utterly useless.

Two crows came down from a tree not far away and saw everything. One of them saw that someone was fighting a ghost to a standstill and immediately flew away.

The remaining eye glowed red as it continued to watch.

"After all this time, I've finally found it!"
