Volume 1: Chapter 137 Destroying Doma, Shinobu's Request (2/2)

A dozen seconds later, the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and Shinobu Kocho finally saw the situation in the center of the battlefield.

On the ground, Doma stood still, his clothes tattered and torn. His skin and muscles, along with other parts of his body and face, had been burned black by the high temperature and were shrinking and withering inward. The assassin's powerful regenerative ability seemed to have lost its effect, and he did not appear at all.

Luo Bai, meanwhile, was floating in mid-air, his flaming longsword condensing further, absorbing all the flames on his body and emitting a faint crystalline glow.

It appears that no flames are emanating from it anymore, but a glance at it still sends a chill down one's spine.

Luo Bai stared at the doma on the ground, without the slightest pity in his eyes.

No matter how pitiful their past was as humans, that's all in the past. Now they are just ghosts, man-eating ghosts.

Therefore, for the sake of peace in the world he lives in, Luo Bai will show no mercy.

"This is the last resort."

As Luo Bai spoke lightly, his figure appeared behind Douma in an instant, the blade piercing through Douma's chest.

Doma didn't react to Luo Bai's actions at all. It wasn't until he was hit that he stiffly turned his head slightly to look at the blade on his chest.

Clearly, in the collision just now, Douma's internal functions had been almost completely destroyed by Luo Bai's flames, and he could hardly even react.

"Good, very strong." Sparks began to rise from the corner of his mouth, and hot white smoke billowed from his mouth as he spoke. "I never thought that I, the Upper Moon Two, would be defeated so easily. Heh, it seems that even the Demon King is no match for you."

Watching Doma's retreating figure, Luo Bai said softly, "I now have a complete understanding of the strength of you demons. Moreover, if a mere demon king were to come, any one of our guardians could easily handle it."

After saying that, Luo Bai suddenly turned the hand holding the long sword, and a huge pillar of fire shot into the sky from Tong Mo's center, pointing straight to the clouds.

This huge

The pillar of fire instantly attracted the attention of Lucoa, Mato Mokuzu, Nagatsu Minami, and many other guardians who were resting at home.

Arriving at the window, Zhen Tu Huo stroked his chin and chuckled, "This flame... it's Luo Bai Jun. It seems he's unleashed it completely. I wonder what kind of enemy it is. Let's go take a look."

Nangong Nayue was leisurely drinking tea at home at the moment. She didn't have any intention of rushing over after seeing the flames, but she still sensed Luo Bai's presence.

After discovering it, Lucoa sensed it, then smiled and stood up from the bathtub, picked up her clothes and put them on.

"There are wounded here; it seems we have to go over there."

Not only the guardians, but also Yukino, Haruno, and Mai Sakurajima, who were at home, noticed the pillar of fire rising in the distance and curiously went to the balcony.

Yang Nai stood on tiptoe and asked curiously, "Um, could it have been Xiao Bai who did this?"

Yukino was a little worried: "Yes, that's possible."

Mai Sakurajima is starting to get nervous: "Could we have encountered a really powerful enemy? Should we contact the Guardians?"

"Just a moment."

Yukino shook her head, but she already had her phone in her hand.

On Luo Bai's side, after unleashing his most powerful fire attack, he knew without even waiting for the pillar of fire to dissipate that Doma had been completely annihilated by his power.

Exhaling a puff of white breath, Luo Bai touched the spot on his heart where Douma had pierced him earlier, and said with lingering fear, "Luckily, I had my trump card of flame transformation, otherwise I would have really been in trouble."

The flaming longsword in his hand disappeared, Luo Bai dusted off some dust from his clothes, and walked towards Kocho Shinobu, who was still seriously injured.

Arriving in front of Shinobu Kocho, Luo Bai briefly observed her condition and said, "Alright, I've taken care of that demon. Now you need to take good care of your injuries. The wound in your lung is quite serious, so don't move around too much."

Just then, two figures appeared behind Luo Bai.

Luo Bai turned around and saw Lucoa and Mato Mokujin.

Upon seeing them arrive, Luo Bai immediately said to Lucoa, "Lucoa, please help treat her; she was badly injured by the demon."

Lucoa nodded and walked over with a smile: "That's why I came here. Don't worry, I can cure him."

Rukoa crouched down and gently placed her hand on Shinobu's wound, her expression gradually turning serious. "I didn't expect you to turn yourself into a collection of poisons just to kill demons. You're really going all out. That way, even if you can't win and get eaten by a demon, you can still take it down with you. But don't worry, you won't need to do that anymore. I'll clean the poison out of your body while I treat you. Don't even think about trying to take someone down with you at such a young age."

Shinobu Kocho was surprised that her plan was discovered so easily by this suddenly appearing woman, and she couldn't help but widen her eyes in disbelief.

Then, in the next second, she saw a faint green light emanating from the other person's hand, gradually seeping into her body.

The injuries inside the body began to heal little by little under the healing power of this energy.

While Shinobu Kocho was receiving treatment, Masato Kakuzu watched the slowly dissipating pillar of fire, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "Rakubai-kun's abilities are truly powerful. Were the demons this time very strong?"

"Yeah, it's pretty strong." Luo Bai nodded and said, "Not to mention the demon's physical attributes, this one can also use the power of ice. Luckily, I can use fire to counter it, and my speed is also pretty good, otherwise I would have been easily suppressed by it. Judging from the numbers on its eyes, this guy is Upper Moon Two, which should be considered a top-tier existence among the demons in that world. Do you know anything about the world of those demons?"

Masato Mokuzu smiled and said, "Of course there are. These demons have appeared in our world more than once, and we guardians have naturally investigated their backgrounds thoroughly. Below the Demon King are the Twelve Demon Moons, who are among the strongest demons. Humans in that world don't have much of a chance against demons. Even the strongest Demon Slayer Corps Pillars have to be prepared to die to defeat an Upper Rank demon, and even then, it's only a chance, not a guaranteed victory."

Looking at Shinobu Kocho, whose injuries had improved and whose breathing had become calmer and smoother, Madoka said, "Madam, you can speak now, right? Are you from the Demon Slayer Corps?"

While receiving treatment, Shinobu Kocho listened to the conversation between the two people and finally realized that she had come to another world.

Having confirmed that her lungs were mostly repaired, Shinobu Kocho coughed and said, "Thank you all for your help. I am Shinobu Kocho, the Insect Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps. I have a favor to ask: could you please help us defeat the Demon King?"

With Doma defeated, Shinobu Kocho knew that this was one of the few opportunities she could quickly and completely eliminate the demons, and she had to seize it.

Volume 1: Chapter 138 Agreeing to Go (1/2)

Mato Mokuzu was not surprised by Shinobu's request.

After their first encounter with and capture of the demons, these guardians learned about that world and even conducted a simple investigation themselves.

The Demon Slayer Corps has existed for many years, and these swordsmen have always had only one goal: to eliminate all demons.

The most direct and effective way is to eliminate the source of all demons, the Demon King Muzan Kibutsuji.

Stroking his chin, Makoto Kazumi nodded and said, "Yes, this is indeed an opportunity. When we went to that world to investigate before, after learning about the existence of the Demon King, we thought about solving the problem directly from the source. But unfortunately, that Demon King was hidden too well, and we couldn't find any clues at all. Now, an Upper Rank Demon has crossed over to this world, and it's even Upper Rank Two. After Muzan Kibutsuji discovers that he can't sense it, he will definitely investigate."

Shinobu Kocho stood up, leaning against the wall, and said, "When I fought Doma before, it was in the Demon King's stronghold, Infinity Castle. The Demon King should be there."

"Yes, that would be perfect."

Masato Masatsu affirmed, "After the demons came to our world, they caused many casualties. Whether for the sake of our own world or for the sake of the humans in the other world, they must be eliminated."

Then, Zhen Tu Huojin looked towards Luo Bai.

"Luo Bai-jun, would you like to come with us this time?"

"The Ghost King?"

After thinking for a moment, Luo Bai said, "Well, that's fine. Compared to those lowly ghosts, we can still go and see the Ghost King."

Lucoa said, "I won't go because of the rules; I can't get involved in these things."

Everyone can understand this. Then, Makoto Katsu took out his phone and said, "In order to prevent that Ghost King from having an escape method that we don't know about, I have to call Miss Nangong to help as well, and make full preparations."

While Makoto contacted Nagatsuki, Luo Bai looked towards Shinobu Kocho and asked Rukoa, "Is the treatment complete?"

"How can it be so simple?"

With one hand on Shinobu's shoulder, Lucoa said, "Don't move around too much. Although I've healed your injuries and removed most of the toxins, you lost so much blood that I can't conjure it up for you. As your attending physician, you shouldn't participate in the upcoming battles, and there's no need for you to go. The three of them are enough to get you back and forth between the Infinity Castle and the battlefield."

It's been plowed several times already.

After hearing this, Shinobu said anxiously, "But if I don't go, my companions won't be able to find me."

Luo Bai said, "It's alright. Just show your strength appropriately. Or you can give us another token or letter and we'll deliver it to your companions. You've fought a lot already, so take a rest now."

After ending the call, Makoto Makoto walked over and said, "Luo Bai-kun is right, the three of us are enough. By the way, where would be a good place for Miss Kocho Shinobu to rest next?"

After the question was asked, both Masato Kakuzu and Lucoa looked at Lobai.

Luo Bai shrugged: "Alright, I was planning to go back first and tell Yukino. Let's go then, Shinobu Kocho."

Walking over, Luo Bai picked up Shinobu in a princess carry amidst her exclamation and flew into the sky.

After Luo Bai left, Zhen Tu Huojin looked at the nearly dissipated pillar of fire and said to Lucoa, "This power is truly formidable. Should we keep a closer eye on it?"

Lucoa laughed and said, "It's alright. He's not alone. He already has things more important than power."

When Zhen Tuhuajin discovered that this was indeed the case, he was no longer worried.

"Well, that Insect Pillar lady seems to be a doctor. Do you think I'll have a chance to recruit her into the Guardians after we deal with the Demon King? Our Chiba team is indeed lacking some professional medical personnel."

"I heard you talking about medical personnel?"

At this moment, Nangong Nayue's voice came out. She had changed her clothes and came out of the spatial passage, looking at the two of them.

Mato Kakuzu said with a smile, "She's a Pillar from the Demon Slayer Corps who came from over there. I'm thinking of bringing her over here."

"Oh, I see."

Nanami Nayuki wasn't particularly interested in that, as the Guardians organization from Tokyo didn't lack medical personnel. However, she was somewhat interested in the other Pillars.

In the sky, Luo Bai carried Butterfly Ninja and flew towards his home.

After the initial tension, Shinobu Kocho relaxed.

She was still a little shy being hugged like that by a boy.

With a slightly flushed face, Shinobu Kocho said, "Roku-kun, is it alright if I call you that? Thank you for saving me."

Luo Bai shook his head: "It's nothing. I just had a premonition, which is why I got off the bus on my way home. And if it's a ghost, I definitely wouldn't stand idly by. I've already dealt with one before. It's just that when we encountered it that time, I didn't have time, and someone still died."

Shinobu Kocho comforted her, saying, "These demons' actions are always unpredictable, and there's nothing we can do if we can't save them. Even our Demon Slayer Corps has had many people we couldn't save. But this is an opportunity, a chance to completely destroy the Demon King."

"Yes, don't worry, this time it can definitely be resolved, and your world will be completely at peace."

As he spoke, Luo Bai also saw his own apartment building.

Shinobu Kocho is also very curious about this modern world, with its towering buildings that are far more advanced than her own world.

Holding Shinobu, Luo Bai landed in front of the apartment door, put her down, and then took out his key to open the door.

"I am back."

Upon hearing the door open and Luo Bai's voice, Yukino, Haruno, and Mai Sakurajima immediately got up from the sofa and ran to the entrance.

Upon arriving, they saw that besides Luo Bai, there was another woman who was dressed in white haori, with a beautiful face, petite figure, a samurai sword hanging from her waist.

Seeing the woman's torn clothes and pale face, the three knew that she must have been rescued by Luo Bai.

So Yukino took out a pair of slippers, put them down, and said to Shinobu Kocho, "Come on, change into a pair of slippers and come in."

Shinobu Kocho was also amazed by the three girls who had come over, and nodded, saying, "Thank you very much."

Upon entering the living room, everyone introduced themselves and sat down on the sofa. Shinobu Kocho looked curiously at the modern decor of the apartment, while Luo Bai recounted what had just happened.

"Alas! It's a man-eating demon!"

Although they were somewhat surprised by the appearance of the ghost, the girls were relieved to hear that Luo Bai had dealt with it.

Looking at Shinobu Kocho, who was sitting obediently on the sofa, a hint of interest appeared in Haruno's eyes.

The Demon Slayer Corps, huh? Sounds pretty impressive.

Volume 1: Chapter 139 Shinobu's Curiosity, successfully concluded (2/2)

After explaining the situation, Luo Bai looked at the three of them and said, "In short, that's the situation. The Demon Slayer Corps has now arrived at the Demon King's location, Infinity Castle, but they may lack combat power. Even if they win, it will only be a Pyrrhic victory. So I plan to go with Mato Mokuzu and Nanami Nagatsu to take a look and completely eliminate the Demon King."

Upon hearing this, Yukino couldn't help but ask, "Is everything alright?"

"Don't worry, I'm very capable." Luo Bai said with a smile, taking Yukino's hand. "I'll be leaving soon. Shinobu will stay at our house to recuperate. Although Lucoa treated her injuries, she lost a lot of blood. Mai-senpai, can you take her to take a bath and change her clothes? Yukino, can you get her some blood-nourishing food and prepare a guest room for her to rest? I should be back in two hours, barring any unforeseen circumstances."

Yukino agreed to Luo Bai's arrangements in full.

"No problem, leave it to me."

Yang Nai also said, "Miss Shinobu's figure might not be suitable for wearing our clothes, I'll arrange for someone to deliver them!"

"Okay, thank you for your help. I'll be off now. Oh, Yukino, bring out that piece of paper and pen. Let Shinobu write a message so I can give it to her Demon Slayer Corps comrades when I get there."

Yukino nodded, took out paper and pen from the room, and handed them to Shinobu Kocho.

"Thank you."

After thanking her, Shinobu Kocho picked up a pen and quickly wrote something down, then folded it up and handed it to Luo Bai.
