In addition, Tanjiro's sense of smell was enough to pick up the scent of the Opening Thread, a brief pause in the enemy's movements that gave Tanjiro an opening to launch an attack.
Meanwhile, Inosuke used his extraordinary sense of touch. Having grown up in the mountains since childhood, Inosuke developed a keen and highly sensitive sense of touch.
Inosuke's skin can even feel small vibrations in the air. Inosuke incorporates this ability into his Spatial Awareness technique, where he uses his keen sense of touch, which is enhanced by Total Breathing Concentration.
Using this ability, Inosuke can tell if anyone is looking at him, especially if they have hostile intentions. He can even pinpoint the exact location they are looking at, which gives him an edge in battle.
Next up is Zenitsu who has an extraordinary sense of hearing. This ability allows Zenitsu to detect danger from even the faintest of sounds.
With this, Zenitsu can decipher layer upon layer of surrounding sounds with frightening accuracy.
Zenitsu's extraordinary hearing also allows him to fight in a state of sleep, an impressive feat as he has no visual aids and can only use sound to discern his surroundings while keeping pace with demonic attacks.
Although Zenitsu possessed an extraordinary sense of hearing, his nerves of fear seemed to seal away Zenitsu's highest potential in battle.
And right now, Zenitsu was cowering in fear with his body trembling violently with his mouth almost foaming. What a pitiful sight.
''Inosuke, we should prioritize the passengers first!" said Tanjiro with a serious expression.
"No! I'll kill it and this Inosuke-sama can do both." said Inosuke with great enthusiasm and pride.
Once the demon appeared, Inosuke would try to attack directly, ignoring Tanjiro's advice. Because Inosuke was confident that he could do both at the same time.
Suddenly, another demon appeared on the ceiling of the train not far from them. It looked like a lizard slithering around, defying the laws of gravity.
El inhaled as much breath as possible and positioned the blade of his sword downward at an angle preparing to launch an attack.
Then, El instantly moved faster than Tanjiro, Inosuke and Zenitsu reacted.
"Honō no kokyū.
"Ichi no kata: Shiranui." El ran towards the demon with incredible speed, and unleashed a single horizontal slash aimed at the demon's neck to decapitate it.
When El ran to the corner of another carriage of the Mugen Train, the visualization of torch flames illuminating a dark street in an unknown place lit up one by one and suddenly the demon's head was cut off.
Slash!
The visualization of the smoldering flames had also manifested, following the direction of the sword blade swung vigorously.
The demon's head was severed, flying in circles in the air. As soon as the demon's head fell, rolling on the floor, it burst into flames.
It was quickly followed by its body, which burned into dust and was blown away by the wind.
Because of the effect of Six Tomoe Rinnegan, El had immunity to El's illusion. But intentionally, El didn't take any action.
Because El waited for the demon to appear in front of Tanjiro, Zenitsu and Inosuke on purpose.
Once the demon was killed, the surrounding scenery was distorted like water rippling in a pond. In the next second, the empty seats, the passengers reappeared.
The passengers appeared in a state of slumber. El knew the cause, it was because of Enmu's Blood Demon Art, 12 Kizuki lower moon. Enmu planned to eat all the passengers at once.
The figure of the train conductor has also reappeared. The train conductor was very scared and sat on the floor because he saw what happened before.
Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke were even more amazed by El who could apparently use more than one type of Breathing Style.
The three of them cheered cheerfully, feeling amazed by El's amazing ability.
"Uncle, it turns out you can use more than two types of Breathing Styles? That's really great!" said Tanjiro in awe.
Not to be outdone, Inosuke also praised El's varied breathing styles, which could not be guessed easily. "Amazing, very strong and fast movements!"
Suddenly, Zenitsu fell silent and was astonished by what happened. "Uncle Tanjiro, isn't Hashira only focusing on one type of breathing style to deepen?"
"You're right, Zenitsu. I have indeed been deepening one type of breathing style. It's just that this place is too small, I can't use it." El replied casually.
Then, El walked back to the seat. "Anyway, I can only use 1-4 moves of the Water, Fire and Mist Breathing Styles, except for the Lightning Breathing Style."
From behind, Tanjiro, Inosuke and Zenitsu followed El walking. After arriving, El sat back down and was followed by the three of them.
With a serious expression, El said. "Listen, Tanjiro, Inosuke, Zenitsu, this isn't over yet. There are still other demons on the Mugen Train, you guys better not let your guard down."
When El spoke, Tanjiro, Inosuke and Zenitsu suddenly yawned and felt extremely sleepy. El also began to feel the drowsiness, like he hadn't slept for days.
"Uncle, I'm sleepy... Can I sleep for a while?" asked Tanjiro with tired eyes.
"Yes, Tanjiro. I don't know why I feel so sleepy..." said Zenitsu in response to Tanjiro's words.
Meanwhile, Inosuke had fallen asleep first. Tanjiro and Zenitsu saw Inosuke fast asleep, became more sleepy and they soon fell asleep.
"Sleepy... Let me fall asleep for a while." Zenitsu murmured and soon entered his dreamland.
On the other hand, El struggled not to fall asleep like Tanjiro, Zenitsu and Inosuke. However, the eyelids did not want to obey him.
"Ugh, I had intended to just pretend." Before long, El was defeated by overwhelming sleepiness. Very quickly, El fell asleep in a sitting position.
...
In a mysterious place, with a large and vast pool of blood-red water that pooled and stretched endlessly. In the dark, starless sky, a red moon adorned it.
There, a very handsome man stood on the surface of the red-colored water, while closing his eyelids.
The man had long black hair with pointed ends, he also wore a long gray robe covering his body, making the impression even more mysterious.
A bitter grin adorned his face. Slowly, the mysterious man finally opened both eyelids, revealing unusual eyes.
The man's irises were fiery red in the darkness, blending in perfectly with this mysterious place. On his irises were also unique patterns, like cherry blossoms.
Staring up at the dark sky with a blood-red moon, the man muttered. "It's the time."
....
El, Tanjiro, Zenitsu and Inosuke were asleep due to the effects of Enmu's Blood Demon Art.
In his waking state, realizing he was in a dreamland, El looked around at the surroundings that were very familiar in memory.
At this moment, El was standing silently in front of the porch of her very simple house. Not the house in the Kimetsu no Yaiba World or the Rencarnation Room, but his home world.
Since this dream world was based on one's fond memories and desires, El was in his past state before becoming a Beyonder.
It can be seen from the clothes worn by him, if previously El was wearing a demon slayer uniform covered by a trench coat, then at this time El was wearing casual clothes.
This casual outfit is also one of his favorite clothes. He was wearing a long-sleeved, white-colored T-shirt with a black striped pattern with black trousers.
Raising both hands, El looked at his palms seriously and admiringly. "So... This is my dream?"
El paused for a moment and said, "It turns out that I'm still very attached to my home world, not caring about any adventures in the Anime World. Even though I can take a break to my home world?"
"Now I understand a little, what was the reason why Hajime Nagumo in the anime Arifureta wanted to return to his home world so quickly."
"But, why is this dream world so lonely? It should be based on the beautiful memories of my past. In the anime, Tanjiro was able to meet his family. Why can't I?"
For a moment, El was almost lost in thought. El immediately furrowed his brows seriously. "No, right now I can't let my guard down."
