At night, Surya felt a pungent smell. He quickly opened his eyes. He looked at the incense sticks, which were already over. The room was only illuminated by a small oil lamp by his side. He took the sword from his space and stared at the door.
When Surya started practicing breathing, he felt its benefits. All of his senses improved tremendously in ten days. All injuries will heal quickly with constant breathing. He felt every cell in the body is constantly strengthening from it.
The door of the Surya room was opened from outside with a heavy force. Surya saw a young woman at the door. Her face was ugly and blood dripping from from her mouth. She also had sharp nails that looked like claws.
"Kee. What a gorgeous boy..."
"I'll enjoy you tonight."
Surya's entire body tightened at hearing her words. This was his first encounter with a demon, and more importantly, he was going to combat her. In ten days, he also prepared some props, although he wasn't sure if they were useful.
The devil approached quickly, extending her claws toward his heart. Suryaa focused on his breathing while moving. Surya merely practiced a few basic sword techniques.
Surya glanced at the demon's slow movements in his eyes. He held his sword handle and tried to cut the demon's hand.
"Ahhhhh..."
Although the slash did not cut off the hand, it did cause an injury.
"What? It hurts...."
The demon noticed the sword mark on his hand, which turned black.
"It's poison. Wisteria poison..."
"Are you from the Demon Slayer Corps..."
"Your sword doesn't resemble a Nichirin sword."
"It's simply a regular katana."
After purchasing large quantities of wisteria incense sticks, he removed them all and used them for his katana. He's not sure how much effect it will have, but it will certainly help him in vital moments.
Surya concentrated on his breathing technique and moved quickly. This move depletes his physical strength swiftly. The demon gazed at Surya, who appeared swiftly. Before she could respond, there was a terrible pain in her body. There are four to five short daggers in her flesh, and they are saturated with wisteria poison.
Surya pulled out daggers and threw them at the demon after moving at tremendous speed. He expected the demon to react, but fortunately, she did not. Surya swiftly moved his blade horizontally, aiming for the head. The demon tries to react to impending strikes, but the wisteria has delayed her senses, so her reaction is slow. Surya eventually severed her head with great power.
The demon stared at the world upside down and understood she had been slain. She feared she was going to die, but after a while, there was no response. Surya recognized the situation and cursed himself. The demon could only be decapitated by Nichiren's sword and sunlight. They will also be killed by wisteria poison, but Surya does not have a strong position.
Surya peered out the window, and there were two or three hours until sunrise. He took various kinds of weapons from the space. There were daggers, hammers, axes, short swords, and other tools. He hauled her body to a nearby window and hammered it to the ground with weapons.
Surya never imagined he'd end up as a butcher. The demon had constantly cursed and threatened him. She also begs him, but Surya doesn't care about her at all. He had no idea how many times he had vomited after looking at her body.
Surya watched the sunrise as time passed slowly. The sunlight fell on the demon's body, which instantly turned to ashes. At the same time, he noticed a series of notifications in his head. Surya decides to leave the area swiftly, and he has no idea how many people were slain here.
One thing is certain: everyone who stayed at the inn was slaughtered, and if they found him alive, they would suspect him. Of course, if they do not find his body, they will suspect him.
"Sign-in."
[Congratulations on obtaining the swordsman proficiency card.]
[Congratulations on obtaining the Nichirin sword.]
[A quest is generated.]
[Kill all the demons in the world.]
[Reward: You will get a ????? [Sign-in option]
Surya tried communicating with the system again, but this time it responded with some information.
Sign-ins are organized into five levels: low, mid, high, god, and unknown.
Killing demons will provide him with sign-in options, which may vary depending on the demon's rank. There is also an annual sign-in option. He also inquired about breathing techniques and extraction talent.
The breathing method is specifically intended for him, and it will provide amazing benefits. His Extraction talent required him to kill higher living forms to function. It can also depend on luck. When he inquired about more, there was no response.
Surya took out the skill card and Nichirin sword and used the skill card. In his mind, he practiced all types of sword movements for years. Despite his ability to complete the moves, his physical strength is insufficient. Importantly, he does not have any money.
Surya chose to join the Demon Slayer organization. By joining, he will receive formal training and information on demons. Of course, someone needs to suggest him to the organization. He wasn't sure where the organization was, but he knew where Water Hashira lived.
Surya continued his journey to the water base dwelling, and along the route, he began to recall information about the demon slayer. After seeing the demon, he acknowledged that the demons had not been exterminated and that he was unsure how long the plot had gone. He won't know till he visits the water Hashira.
*************************
"You're the one who killed the demon."
Surya gazed at the water hashira in front of him.
"How did you kill it?"
Surya began to describe how he had slain it. After hearing his explanation, Water Hashira nodded.
"Your condition is that you sought suitable demon corps training."
"Yes, Sir."
"Fine, but my training method is going to be difficult."
"It's okay, sir."
