"That was close!"
"Zoro almost got killed!"
During the previous battle, Nami and Luffy both held their breaths.
They didn't dare to breathe, fearing they would interfere with the battle.
At this moment, they patted their chests in lingering fear.
The thrilling battle just now, and the flying blood.
It made them sure this was a real world.
They hadn't expected the battle to be so thrilling.
[Age 12: An evil spirit came knocking, and you slew it in front of the Demon Slayer Corps.]
[After careful consideration, you ultimately chose to join the Demon Slayer Corps. Giyu Tomioka saw your proficiency in Iaijutsu and gave you the address of the former Roaring Hashira!]
[You bid farewell to your family and set off towards the Roaring Hashira's location!]
Ron looked at Zoro's experience at this age, a relieved smile on his face.
Sure enough, his own simulations were all wrong decisions.
Finding a tool person to simulate was the correct way to use the simulator.
Someone like him could at most live for a year in the simulator.
But Zoro had easily lived for twelve years.
"What's next?"
Luffy eagerly asked Ron.
Having just experienced a tense and exciting battle.
Luffy was now extremely eager to continue seeing battle scenes.
"Next will probably be training, which isn't very interesting!"
"I'll fast-forward a bit!"
Ron thought for a moment and said.
Nami also nodded, very much wanting to see Zoro slay demons.
These training sessions were too boring for them.
[Age 13: You became the Roaring Hashira's disciple and began to learn Breathing Techniques!]
[You learned Breathing Techniques very quickly and were already able to smoothly use the First Form!]
[Age 14: You made no progress and could still only use the First Form! But the First Form reached a terrifying realm.]
[Age 15: Your master brought a junior disciple! Your master told you to join the Demon Slayer Corps, and you successfully passed the Demon Slayer Corps' selection!]
[Age 16: You gained great fame within the Demon Slayer Corps, constantly slaying demons, and have already become a Hashira-level existence. It is very likely you will inherit the Roaring Hashira's position!]
...
"There seems to be a powerful demon on Mount Natagumo!"
"And a few new Kanoe-ranked Demon Slayers have also entered the mountain!"
"Zoro, I'll trouble you to make a trip!"
The man in front of him gently said to Zoro.
"Alright!"
Zoro didn't dawdle and immediately set off.
"Wait..."
"Never mind, he's really impatient!"
"Let Giyu and Shinobu go too!"
"I have a bad feeling!"
Kagaya Ubuyashiki reached out but then put his hand down again.
He felt something was amiss; too many children had died on Mount Natagumo.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki had to send the Hashira along as well.
But Zoro was truly impatient and didn't wait for him to finish speaking.
...
Zoro ran through the mountain forest, three blades at his waist.
Three blades, but unfortunately, he hadn't learned all of the Thunder Breathing techniques.
Otherwise, he could have naturally integrated them into his swordsmanship.
"It feels like everything is really happening, whether it's people or anything else!"
"It's all so real. I wonder if after dying!"
"I'll still be able to see Luffy!"
Zoro took a breath, a hint of longing on his face.
These years of training had made his swordsmanship grow very quickly.
And each battle was against powerful opponents.
It taught him how to fight, no longer just charging straight in.
Boom!
As he approached Mount Natagumo, he clearly heard a violent explosion.
Zoro's steps quickened significantly, and the blades at his waist were already drawn.
The evil spirits fleeing along the way were all slain by him.
No matter what form the opponent took, as long as his perception indicated it was an evil spirit.
Their heads were cut off, and they waited nearby to turn to ash.
"There seems to be a strong one here too!"
Zoro stared intently at the depths of Mount Natagumo.
There wasn't just one strong demon here.
It was probably the Lower Rank demon mentioned by the Demon Slayer Corps.
Zoro felt an inexplicable excitement.
He had never found any so-called Lower Ranks before.
They were too well hidden, leaving no trace.
But he hadn't expected to encounter two today.
This meant he could slay two Lower Ranks here.
"What a foul stench!"
Zoro quickened his pace, rapidly running towards the depths.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
…
By the stream, a wild boar and a young boy battled a gigantic demon.
But powerful demons possessed tough bodies.
Ordinary blades couldn't penetrate their bodies at all.
"Three Sword Style: Oni Giri!"
A roar sounded, and Zoro's figure flashed past.
Tanjiro looked up and saw Zoro standing not far away.
"Boom!"
The huge body crashed down.
"So strong!"
Tanjiro and Inosuke instinctively said.
The demon they had been struggling with for so long was actually slain with one strike.
"You two should leave here quickly!"
Zoro glanced at the two and paid them no further attention.
They were at most new Kanoe-ranked members.
But being able to contend with such a demon for so long was already quite good.
"Are you going to continue upwards?"
"There are even stronger demons inside!"
Tanjiro quickly said.
He didn't want to stop here.
So he planned to follow and fight together.
"I know!"
Zoro gave Tanjiro an extra look, feeling a strange sensation from the wooden box on his back.
But he didn't feel any other sense of aversion, so Zoro let it go.
"We'll go with you!"
Tanjiro pulled Inosuke and said to Zoro.
"Suit yourselves!"
Zoro ignored them and continued to run towards the depths.
From this point on, the two had nothing to do.
Whether it was the controlled Demon Slayers.
Or those evil spirits.
They were all slain by Zoro.
Until!
Rui, the Lower Rank Five!
"Lower Rank!"
Zoro excitedly looked at the child's figure in front of him.
Although it was a child, he felt a powerful strength from it.
"You actually laid hands on my family!"
Rui seemed to have been waiting for Zoro.
He stood still, but his hands were somehow wrapped in layers of threads.
"Family?"
Zoro narrowed his eyes, looking at the child in front of him.
The demons he had encountered along the way were all similar to this child.
"Do demons also long for family?"
Zoro coldly stared at the Lower Rank in front of him.
Three swords pointed at Rui.
"Since you long to see your family, I'll send you down to meet them!"
Zoro exhaled, his steps rapidly advancing.
He carried a sharp aura, accumulated from slaying many evil spirits.
"Hah!"
Zoro's blade slashed.
But it was blocked by the spider web in front of him.
"Clang!"
Spider web?
Blood Demon Art!
Zoro instinctively thought of Blood Demon Art.
Online art courses
After all, he had fought so many demons.
These demons always had some unique techniques.
And a Lower Rank would certainly possess Blood Demon Art as well.
