Chapter 102: Mitsuri Kanroji
---
Layers of clouds obscured the moonlight.
In the dark mountain forest, Kanroji Mitsuri ran quickly. As she passed by a rock, she suddenly turned and hid behind it.
She folded her arms over her chest and gasped for air. "Oops! Oops! Oops! I met the Twelve Kizuki on my fifth mission. Aren't I too unlucky?"
Her breathing gradually steadied as Mitsuri stuck out her head and quietly looked behind her.
"Did I lost it?"
Her face relaxed a little, but then her expression changed, and she rushed forward without hesitation.
Boom!
A tall demon fell from the sky, more than three meters tall, like an iron tower. It hit the ground heavily, causing dead branches and leaves to fly.
"So dangerous! So dangerous! So dangerous! I almost died!"
Mitsuri screamed, but she rushed toward the tall demon with a "whoosh".
"The Breath of Love, Second Form: Love Pangs!"
The pink blade suddenly came out of its sheath and slashed at the tall demon's neck with precision.
At that moment, the skin on the tall demon's neck suddenly turned golden.
Clang!
The pink blade struck, making a crisp metallic sound.
"Wow wow wow! It's happening again! I can't even cut him!"
With a cry in her heart, Mitsuri kicked the tall demon hard, using the reverse thrust to distance herself.
It's not that her strength was insufficient. Ever since she changed her breathing and created the Breath of Love, she always felt that the current Nichirin Sword was uncomfortable to use.
"Hey hey hey, stop struggling! Low-level beings like you should just be eaten by us."
The tall demon raised its head, revealing a ferocious face that looked like a chimpanzee, with the word (lower Rank) engraved in its blue pupils.
"No! I don't want to be eaten!"
Mitsuri took out a palm-sized wooden token from her arms, one side of which was printed with a complex silver diamond pattern.
This was given to her not long ago, with instructions that if she encountered a demon, she should break the token and someone would come to help.
This time she encountered the Sixth Lower Rank and wanted to see if she could win on her own. Now it seemed that it still wasn't enough. With the right sword, it might be possible.
"Be obedient and be eaten by me!"
The chimpanzee demon rushed toward Mitsuri.
"I said, no!"
Mitsuri grabbed the wooden token with one hand and exerted force.
Crack!
A figure suddenly appeared.
The chimpanzee demon's footsteps stopped abruptly.
The loose Demon Slayer uniform couldn't hide her plump figure, and her unique cherry-colored long hair was braided into huge braids.
Aoki asked in surprise, "Miss Kanroji?"
"Mr. Aomura?" Mitsuri was confused and surprised at the same time.
"Let's talk later."
Aoki smiled and turned to look at the demon.
Mitsuri temporarily set aside her joy of reunion and said quickly, "Mr. Aomura, that's a demon, and it's one of the Twelve Kizuki."
"It's the Sixth Lower Rank again"
Aoki looked at the chimpanzee-like demon opposite him and almost laughed out loud.
Is this the first Sixth Lower Rank he has encountered? The title seemed destined to offend him, right?
The chimpanzee demon roared, "Who are you? Why are you here? This prey is mine!"
"Don't worry, I won't compete with you for prey," Aoki said.
The chimpanzee demon stared at Aoki's face for two seconds, then his expression changed drastically. Without any hesitation, he turned around and ran away.
"Why?"
Kanroji Mitsuri blinked. "What is he doing?"
"It looks like he's trying to escape," Aoki said.
"Traitor, it turned out to be a traitor" The chimpanzee demon's eyes were full of horror.
He only learned this name after he became one of the Twelve Kizuki.
Lower Rank Six, Five, and Upper Rank five, Three, Two, even ordinary demons couldn't count them.
After all these achievements, he sounded timid.
Suddenly, two figures appeared in his path.
The chimpanzee demon's footsteps stopped abruptly. "You, don't bully others too much! I-I am one of the Twelve Kizuki!"
Mitsuri's expression was still a little dazed, and this Sixth Lower Rank seemed to be very scared.
Is he afraid of Mr. Aomura?
"Twelve Kizuki? That name doesn't scare me," Aoki said, suddenly appearing in front of the chimpanzee demon with his palm raised high.
"Ah!"
The chimpanzee demon roared angrily, and suddenly his body turned golden, like a golden tower. You could tell at a glance that its defense was extraordinary.
He made fists with both hands and swung them at Aoki like sledgehammers.
"This Blood Demon Art is interesting," Aoki remarked as he sped up his palm movement slightly.
Thud!
The chimpanzee demon's arm was broken into three sections.
Aoki jumped up slightly and raised his palm again.
Boom!
The chimpanzee demon's head exploded like a watermelon, the golden color on its skin faded, and its body fell heavily, creating a cloud of smoke and dust.
Mitsuri opened her mouth slightly, her face full of shock.
What happened?
The Sixth Lower Rank's head was smashed with one slap from Mr. Aomura?
That's one of the Twelve Kizuki!
Aoki reached out and grabbed the chimpanzee demon's shoulder, letting him struggle.
"Devour"
An invisible vortex formed.
The tall body of the chimpanzee demon twisted and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
[Skill point +1.]
[Kill the Lower Six and gain 35 experience points.]
Hearing the system prompt, Aoki immediately opened the system panel.
35 experience points?
It actually reached double digits, worthy of being the Sixth Lower Rank!
However, what he cared more about was that he also gained 1 skill point.
Together with the 4 skill points left before, he could learn the level 2 "Transparent World."
Level 1 "Transparent World" could only be used for a short time and was very mentally exhausting.
If nothing unexpected happened, level 2 should be close to or even reach the level of Tsugikuni Yoriichi, maintaining it for a long time, which would significantly improve his combat power.
However, he had another choice – save another skill point and learn level 6 "Demon Blood."
Aoki made the choice without hesitation.
Level 6 "Demon Blood!"
It must be level 6 "Demon Blood!"
That is a chance for him to overcome the sun, which is more important than anything else.
After taking another look at the data, Aoki closed the system and found a huge face in front of him.
"Mr. Aomura, it's really you! I didn't expect to meet you here!"
Mitsuri blinked her big emerald green eyes, her face rosy and excited.
Aoki smiled. "I was surprised too."
Not only did he not expect that it was Mitsuri who activated the space mark this time, but he also didn't expect that she had already joined the Demon Slayer Corps.
According to the original story, Mitsuri Kanroji would join the Demon Slayer Corps by chance after her blind date failed next year.
And now, she was already on a mission. She must have learned the breathing technique and passed the final selection. She had been in the Demon Slayer Corps for quite some time.
