Chapter 55

There was no way to avoid being shocked, as when the two girls lowered their hands from their eyes, they witnessed something they absolutely could not believe.

They saw the handsome young man rush into the circle of demons, his Nichirin blade flashing like a streak of light, instantly killing a demon with each swing!

Although the demons surrounded him from all sides, even trying to intimidate him with their ferocious aura to create psychological pressure,

the young man remained as calm and composed as a seasoned kendo master, smoothly executing the draw, strike, and sheath of his blade, completely unaffected by their attempts.

In terms of speed, strength, and reaction, Yudou completely dominated these demons, like a max-level boss entering a newbie village.

The demons, who seemed quite troublesome and dangerous to the two girls, generally didn't last a single round against Yudou.

From their initial arrogant attitude, the demons were now so terrified by Yudou that they no longer cared about their meal and turned to run.

Although it was somewhat regretful to give up the food right in front of them, in the end, their own lives were more important than a full meal.

However, as they tried to run, Yudou, who had transformed from prey to hunter, did not intend to let them escape so easily.

"Why would a monster like this appear in the Demon Slayer Corps' entrance exam? That kid's strength is far greater than the one who caught me and brought me to Mount Fuji."

"I think that guy is a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, and he's pretending to be an examiner to make us behave."

"But now that we've run so far, we should be safe..."

The two demons, who had sensed the danger from Yudou's strength and decided to run first, were now quite far away, celebrating their escape.

However, before they could finish their words, a bright blue slash flew past them, cutting down a large tree in front of them.

A large amount of blood spurted from the waists of the two demons, but they didn't feel any pain because the speed was too fast.

As they lost their balance, they even saw their own severed lower halves, with smooth and clean cuts, but they couldn't understand why, even after running so far, they were still killed.

Without giving them much time to think, Yudou approached from a distance and finished off the two heads on the ground.

Although the flying slash he released did hit them, the Nichirin blade seemed to require direct contact with the body to be effective.

The two demons on the ground, who had been cut in half but were not completely dead, were the best proof of this.

"Or does it require a specific breathing technique to be used in conjunction? Is that why remote attacks are effective?"

"But the Nichirin blade in my hand now doesn't match the 'Demon's Breathing Technique' I created. If I force it, the blade might break."

Yudou looked at the pink-handled Nichirin blade in his hand, slightly excited to see what his own Nichirin blade would be like.

By the time Yudou finished off the last two demons, the two girls were still in a state of shock.

They thought they were going to die, but now they had survived?

Those were over ten demons, and even one-on-one, they were always at a disadvantage, but this man in front of them killed over ten with ease!

Even the girl who lent Yudou the blade thought that her teacher, who taught her the breathing technique, was definitely not as strong as Yudou.

Facing over ten demons and brutally slaughtering them, even the elite members of the Demon Slayer Corps might not be able to do this.

Moreover, Yudou was completely unharmed during the entire fight, which meant that this level was quite easy for him?

The girls didn't know why such a powerful person would suddenly appear in the entrance exam, but they were clearly excited.

They thought Yudou was joking when he said he could help them pass the exam, but now, after witnessing his incredible strength, they were completely convinced.

With such strong power, dealing with over ten demons was so easy, and taking them two newbies to the mountain top would be a piece of cake.

His strength was incredible, and his appearance was also outstanding. After seeing Yudou's posture while slaying demons, the two girls even developed a bit of admiration for him.

It was normal for girls at their age to have such feelings, especially with Yudou's excellent appearance.

However, at this moment, the straight man Yudou was completely focused on other things. The ten or so demons he had just killed were indeed counted towards his mission, which made him pleasantly surprised.

He originally thought that even if he killed the demons imprisoned by the Demon Slayer Corps, it might not meet the system's requirements.

But now that the system recognized it, his mission became much simpler.

There were so many demons on Mount Fuji, and if he killed them all, his mission would be left with only the "Twelve Kizuki."

"Sir, sir, the direction to the mountain top is this way. That direction leads to the middle of the mountain, where many powerful demons are located."

Because of Yudou's displayed strength and the admiration the two girls had for him, their way of addressing him had changed.

When they saw Yudou about to head in the opposite direction of the mountain top, they thought he didn't know the way and quickly reminded him.

At this moment, Yudou suddenly remembered that he had two girls with him and had promised to help them pass the exam.

"Although it might sound a bit harsh, things have changed, so our agreement needs to be adjusted.

I won't return the blade to you for now, but I will still keep my promise to help you. I will take you to a place near the mountain top, and I will return the Nichirin blade to you after my exam is over."

Originally, according to the agreement, Yudou would return the blade to the girls after they passed the exam.

But now, to complete his mission, Yudou decided to first help the two girls pass the exam and then return to Mount Fuji to continue his demon hunting!
