In the Demon Slayer world, Tanjiro received a new mission.
"Go to Mount Nagatumo ."
According to the messenger crow, there are demons on this mountain, and the Demon Slayer Corps has to go there to kill them.
Tanjiro had only one thought: "Let me try my sword!"
That's right! During this period, he successfully defeated the Diablos with everyone. Through this process, Tanjiro, who got launched by the charge attack around countless times, fully comprehended Water Breathing. At the same time, the constant fighting made him understand one thing.
Times can change or not, and they need to change back and forth according to the different enemies and situations.
For example, when the opponent moves around, you can't shoot with a gun. If bullets are limited and can't cause effective damage, it's better to use a sword to exhaust the opponent's physical strength.
When both the opponent and their own physical strength are heavily depleted, then, times can change.
They killed the Diablos this way because it was exhausted.
While being pressed to the ground by Fujimaru Kaede, Tanjiro aimed the muzzle of the gun at the weak position of the wyvern, and the armor-piercing bullet penetrated it from the inside to the outside. Now, he would use the demons here to sharpen his blade.
On the way, he met someone familiar.
"Hey? Zenitsu?"
Tanjiro saw the yellow-haired man trembling with fear at the entrance to the mountain. He was very familiar with this yellow-haired man. He had seen him during the competition and later in a mansion. He didn't expect to meet him again this time.
"Is it you? Help!!"
Zenitsu Agatsuma stuttered and looked at Tanjiro, who waved his hand: "You are here to kill demons, right? How about we act together?"
"!!!"
An exclamation mark appeared over Zenitsu Agatsuma's head. He knew Tanjiro's powerful strength very well. He felt safe acting with Tanjiro.
When the two met, a commotion in the jungle stopped them from acting.
"Pig rush! Pig rush! Hahaha!"
A man with a pig-head mask suddenly stopped in front of them, turning Tanjiro's action from a duo to a team mode. This was Inosuke Hashibira, the swordsman with special perception abilities in the pig-head mask. They had met in the mansion before. The three of them had cooperated once in the mansion and successfully eliminated a very powerful demon.
This time, the three of them would undoubtedly achieve twice the result with half the effort by acting together.
While moving to the top of the mountain, Tanjiro gradually noticed something wrong. The whole forest was filled with the smell of blood and decay, and at the same time...
"Who is it?"
A spider silk was cut by Tanjiro, and not far away, members of the Demon Slayer Corps were "killing each other."
"Water Breathing, Third Form: Flowing Dance!"
Tanjiro waved the sword and cut the surrounding silk threads like water. At the same time, he determined the location of the demon through the smell. He was controlling the silk threads. The closer the distance, the stronger the silk threads. There was also a headless corpse around him, whose size indicated it had been very powerful.
"His weakness is..."
Tanjiro smelled the demon's weakness, but this time he did not rush to use guns or fight directly. Instead...
"Ding Ding Dong~"
The spirit-calling bell appeared in Tanjiro's hand.
That's right! Tanjiro met a reliable friend while playing Monster Hunter.
When Fujimaru Kaede found out that Tanjiro didn't get the novice set, she ran to the new store and spent a day teaching Tanjiro how to get it.
The so-called novice set includes the spirit-calling bell, the Mimic Tear in the Elden Ring, the Crimson and Cerulean Tears, and the full set of firearms in Resident Evil.
These items are recognized by all players as the easiest to obtain because as long as you play the game mode, you can get them.
Liu Yuan's recommendations are based on the current needs of the customers. But now that Tanjiro's sister is in the recovery stage, Tanjiro needs to improve his own strength, so the eldest brother is definitely the top priority.
No matter how talented or strong you are, as long as you find the eldest brother, you can rest assured that he will carry you to victory.
It's very troublesome to find the Mimic Tear at the beginning of the game, but Tanjiro's combat experience is not weak, and with the helpers, it's easy. You know, the Elden Ring can be connected online for co-op plays.
Can't beat it solo? It doesn't matter, just call a player and get the novice set in a few hours without worries. He also took the famous sword Sacred Relic Sword. The only pity is that the holy attribute enchantment in Elden Ring has no effect on demons.
Demons are afraid of the special radiation in sunlight, and the holy attribute enchantment is just an enchantment. It will cause more damage to demons but will not suppress their body's recovery.
This is the first time Tanjiro uses big brother. His idea is very good. Let the Mimic Tear attract it's attention and he will sneak attack from behind. After all, it is his own summon.
Although it can take on his own image, it won't be much stronger than him, right? It must be enough as a bait.
Tanjiro thought so, but reality slapped him in the face. The moment the Mimic Tear turned into Tanjiro's appearance, it looked at Tanjiro with contempt.
"?"
Tanjiro didn't understand why his summon seemed to look down on him, and then he knew why.
"Hey?"
Cooperation? If one's own strength is equal to that of big brother, it is called cooperation.
But when one's hidden power in one's body cannot be exerted for some reason, then the Mimic Teardrop becomes a real big brother.
The Mimic Teardrop raised the blade and began to breathe deeply.
Water Breathing, Sixth Form: Whirlpool
The Mimic Teardrop version of Tanjiro turned like flowing vortex of water, cutting all the spider silk in the air. The whole person began to dance around the headless demon.
It could have killed it with one blow, but in order to teach its immature bell-shaking tool man some lessons, it slowed down its movements.
The swing of the sword was like a water dragon, deflecting all attacks and slashing the blade on the enemy. The scars on the headless corpse increased, and the Mimic Teardrop's breathing was close to the limit.
At this moment, the blade light turned red.
Hinokami Kagura: Dance
A huge circle of fire appeared on the corpse, and the Mimic Teardrop in the center of the circle of fire cut the whole corpse into two pieces. It stopped and looked at Tanjiro.
Tanjiro was already stunned. He knew the breathing method, but it appeared that he doesn't to know the what kind of Breathing it did next...
At this moment, he suddenly remembered what Fujimaru Kaede and Natsuki Subaru said.
"The Mimic Teardrop only has the abilities you have. In the early stage, you can learn what your strongest state is through it."
"My strongest state?"
Tanjiro muttered to himself. At this moment, he seemed to see a revolving lantern, seeing his father, who was dancing with strange breathing fluctuations, teaching him how to dance and breathe, and memories gradually came to his mind.
At this moment, he understood that the Mimic Tear was really indeed using something he knew.
'Hinokami Kagura.'
