Crossover Anime: Starting with Bankai from Demon Slayer

The moonlight shone down on him, outlining his tall, well-proportioned figure and long platinum blonde hair, exuding an unnatural...beauty.

He looked as if he were sculpted from ice and snow, his skin so white it was almost bloodless, and his lips always curled into a cold, hypocritical smile.

This is the leader of the Eternal Paradise Cult, Upper Moon Two – Doma.

Doma wore a finely crafted black cloak over a scarlet top.

He casually fanned himself with his golden iron fan and said nonchalantly, "Oh dear, I didn't expect so many visitors so late..."

Eyes like those inlaid with seven-colored glass beads swept over the crowd, reflecting a non-human, amusement: "Do you... have some pain you want to confide in me?"

"Who are you?" Asuka gripped the bastard tightly, using her spiritual pressure to assess the opponent's strength.

Tsk... the demonic aura is even stronger than Upper Moon Three... how many people did it eat...?

Upon hearing Asuka's words, Douma covered his mouth in surprise and waved his hands repeatedly, "Sorry, sorry! You didn't even introduce yourself?"

"Nice to meet you. I am Douma, the leader of the Eternal Bliss Cult. What a beautiful evening..."

"Help me!!"

As Douma was leisurely enjoying the moonlight, a blood-covered girl rushed out from the still-open sliding door: "These people are crazy! They're lying! They..."

Before he finished speaking, Doumo casually waved his golden fan.

Whoosh—!

The girl's head fell to the ground so quickly that the pillars didn't even have time to rescue her.

"Oh, I'm talking to a customer right now. Could you please wait a moment while you're seeking relief or something?"

Although his words carried a hint of dissatisfaction, Asuka could tell that this guy felt nothing at all.

From the moment they arrived at the courtyard and met Douma.

He was neither angry nor afraid, nor was he as happy or relaxed as he portrayed himself.

The other person showed absolutely no emotional fluctuation, just like a dead person.

"We are so sorry, Your Excellency!!" The monks inside rushed out in a panic, bowing fearfully as they dragged the girl's remains into the hall.

"Ah, just put it over there, thank you for your hard work." Douma said to the monks with a smile, showing no sign of anger. "After I'm done here, I'll help her be reborn in the Pure Land."

"Yes! Best wishes!"

The monks seemed completely unfazed by such a bloody and horrific act, and respectfully closed the sliding door of the main hall.

It's understandable, really, for these children born into the faith who grew up listening to the legends of the cult leader—

Immortal and eternally filled with patience and love, helping those who cannot go on living to escape suffering and be reborn in paradise...

Isn't Lord Doma a 'god of the mortal world'?

"Don't joke around..." Shinobu Kocho's emotions were clearly off, her voice icy as she spoke, "This person is still crying for help... is clearly so scared..."

"Yes, that's why I said I helped her~ After all, everyone is afraid of death, but now the child is no longer in pain or sad~"

"It is the leader's responsibility to accept the suffering of believers and guide them to a higher level."

"I'll devour her properly, so we can coexist forever!"

Doma's cloyingly sweet voice, as if mixed with honey, uttered nonsensical ramblings that made Asuka feel nauseous.

Clang—!

Shinobu Kocho had already drawn her Nichirin Blade, twirling it a few times in her hand before pointing the tip at Doma:

"That's utter nonsense...it's disgusting and makes me want to vomit..."

"Eh? It's our first meeting, yet you're being so rude..." Douma feigned sudden realization, chuckling lightly, "Have you been having some troubles lately? Why don't you tell me about it?"

A chilling, bone-chilling killing intent, almost freezing the air, suddenly erupted!

"Endure!" Asuka instinctively shouted, trying to remind her to remain calm in the face of the enemy.

But it's too late.

Shinobu Kocho's emotions had spiraled out of control, her figure moving so fast that only a faint purple afterimage remained in the eyes of Asuka and Giyu Tomioka!

The slender Nichirin Blade transformed into a cunning and ruthless purple streak, hurtling towards Doma's head with a piercing whistling sound!

Pfft—!

Even Douma himself didn't expect that this little female swordsman would be so fast. In just an instant, she suddenly stabbed in front of him and pierced his eye with a single slash!

"Wow! What an amazing thrust! You guys are Pillars, right?" Blood spurted from Douma's seven-colored eyes, a genuine surprise flashing across his face, as if he hadn't expected the other party to be so direct.

"It's a pity, though. You can't kill me with a thrust... You really have to cut off the neck to kill a demon."

As an Upper Moon demon, he naturally wouldn't be defeated so easily.

With a whoosh, the golden iron fan unfolded, its movement seemingly casual as it drew a perfect arc in front of him.

"Blood Demon Art: Lotus Leaf Ice!"

Countless ice crystal lotuses, formed from his blood and with incredibly sharp edges, bloomed instantly on the fan! They spun and shot out!

These ice lotuses were not simply physical attacks; they emitted a bone-chilling cold while stirring up large swaths of ice mist, freezing everything in their path into a low-temperature zone, greatly slowing down Shinobu's speed.

"It's so cold... I feel like my breath is freezing..."

"Wind Breathing - Fourth Form: Rise Amidst the Sandstorm!"

Just as the icy mist was about to envelop Shinobu Kocho, Asuka swooped out and blocked their path!

Ding ding ding ding——!

The raccoon emitted arcs of ice-blue and emerald-green light, stirring up a towering storm that shattered all the ice lotuses and dispersed the icy mist.

"Be careful! Don't inhale this icy mist, it's poisonous!" Flying Bird still remembered the monk's pained expression.

If a Pillar-level swordsman cannot freely use breathing techniques in combat, then he is no different from an ordinary ronin samurai, and his sword poses no threat whatsoever.

"Wow, you're that black-haired swordsman! Lucky you, now we can boast to that lord!"

Doma happily waved his fan and looked at Shinobu Kocho: "But you're such an impatient girl. What happened? Did you have a fight with your lover?"

"...This is disgusting! Don't you remember this haori?!"

Although Shinobu Kocho had just escaped a disaster, the flames of anger within her still prevented her from calmly facing the demon before her.

She ripped at her butterfly-patterned haori, roaring, "You're the demon who killed my sister!"

From the moment Asuka saw Doma, he sensed that Shinobu's emotions were off, and when Doma began to attack with his twin fans, he was certain.

In that dream, Shinobu's older sister said that what killed her was a demon wielding two fans and with blood on its head.

This is the guy... Asuka gripped the hilt of the raccoon's sword tightly.

"Huh?" Doma looked closely at Shinobu's appearance, then at the butterfly hair ornament on her head, and suddenly realized, "Ah—! I remember now, she's the girl who uses Flower Breathing!"

"Oh, it's a real shame that we couldn't eat her because the sun was about to rise..."

"I've heard other ghosts mention her. She was a Pillar, right? What was her name again... Kanae?"

"shut up--!!!"

Shinobu's eyes were practically spitting fire, her purple pupils bloodshot with rage and pain.

"You're not allowed to... say my sister's name with that filthy mouth!!"

puff--!!

Just as Shinobu Kocho roared, Doma suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood and knelt down on the ground in a sorry state.

Asuka remembered Shinobu Kocho's fighting style.

poison.
