Reincarnation as Lower Rank Five in Demon Slayer

In Li Lei's room, Tanjiro and Nezuko lay peacefully on the bed, motionless, as if they were dead.

If it weren't for their continued breathing, anyone would have thought the brother and sister were dead, given their pale faces.

After settling his siblings in, Li Lei took a deep breath and walked to the door. The sunlight outside was bright and dazzling.

Only this final step remains in overcoming the sun.

Having already secured his resurrection point in the alternate dimension, Li Lei reached out and opened the door in front of him, letting the sunlight stream in and shine upon him.

Upon contact with sunlight, Li Lei's skin felt like wood meeting fire, burning up.

"Yes, that's right, let there be more sunshine."

Feeling flames ignite where the sunlight touched, Li Lei did not back down, but instead strode out in one go.

Under the intense sunlight outside, Li Lei's entire body was engulfed in flames.

"what--"

With a roar, the flames on Li Lei's body instantly grew into a five-meter-high blaze.

"I'm tired! Don't go back inside so quickly."

Sensing something amiss, Ten'i Moka and Kanae rushed over and, upon seeing the scene before them, immediately assumed that Li Lei was contemplating suicide.

Moka Amane and Kanae rushed toward Li Lei at the same time, trying to drag him into a room where there was no sunlight.

But the truth is that Li Lei used the Blood Demon Art: Blood Burst he obtained from Nezuko, causing his entire body to burn to accelerate the process of overcoming the sunlight.

Just as Amako and Kanae hugged Li Lei, the flames on Li Lei's body disappeared.

From then on, Li Lei truly overcame the sun.

"Haha, I've succeeded!" Li Lei laughed happily.

"Wait a minute, what are you doing? I'm fine now."

"Hey! Stop it right now!"

But Ten'i Moka and Kanae didn't care why Li Lei had stopped burning things, and ignored his shouts and dragged him straight into the house.

……

In the Infinity Castle, Muzan believed that the Demon Slayer Corps had obtained demons capable of overcoming sunlight, and began to collect demons from all over the island nation to bring back to the Infinity Castle.

He then ordered Nakime to relentlessly and without rest release her eyeball clones to search for the Demon Slayer headquarters and to find Nezuko's trail in the sunlight.

As a result, Nakime started working overtime day and night, without any pay.

Despite the exploitative nature of her boss, Muzan, Nakime showed not a trace of resentment.

Naruto: ┐(′(エ)｀)┌

On the Demon Slayer Corps' side, with the arrival of Tanjuro, who has already awakened his Demon Slayer Mark, and also knowing the Sun Breathing Technique (incomplete version), the Demon Slayer Corps' strength has greatly increased with his addition.

Most importantly, incidents of demons eating people have become rarer recently. This gives all the Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps time to train ordinary Demon Slayer Corps members.

From then on, the overall strength of the Demon Slayer Corps began to increase significantly, and the strongest Pillar among them awakened his Demon Slayer Mark through the oral account of Tanjuro, the only one to awaken his own.

Another piece of good news arrived: Kanae, who had been missing for over half a month, had returned to the Demon Slayer Corps, and she returned as a human. Shinobu and Kanao, who had thought their sister Kanae was dead, were overjoyed to hear that she was alive.

Back with Kanae in the Demon Slayer Corps, she remained silent about what she had been doing all these days, and neither the Demon Slayer Corps leader, Kagura, nor Amane, who seemed to know something, asked any further questions.

They simply dropped the search for Li Lei, and Yan Zhu and his team were called back.

After all, eliminating Muzan is the priority right now, so Huiyaozai chooses to ignore the vague and nonsensical prophecies about Li Lei for the time being.

Not long after joining the Demon Slayer Corps, Sanemi Shinazugawa, who had only been with the Corps for a few months, successfully killed a Lower Moon demon and became the Wind Pillar.

Time passed little by little, and a year went by in the blink of an eye.

In the alternate dimension where Li Lei was, the newly appointed Lower Moon One, Nightmare, was bound hand and foot by Li Lei, like a large, tied-up crab.

In the Infinity Castle, Nakime successfully located the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.
