Chapter 550: SFDI - 550
Drake always understood a principle: no one has any right to forgive the abuser in place of the victim.
So no matter how touching the past of a man-eating demon was, or what reasons they had, there was no need for any hesitation when killing them.
The transformation of Tanjiro from a charcoal-selling boy into a warrior, this change of mentality was the most important thing.
Just as Drake was correcting Tanjiro’s mentality, that demon also got up.
Tanjiro gripped the hilt of his sword. After understanding the principle Drake wanted to tell him, he had already made up his mind to kill the demon, but Drake raised his hand to stop him.
"This time was originally for you to adapt to fighting demons. What you have in your hand isn’t a Nichirin Blade that can kill demons. Let me do it!"
Drake had studied the Nichirin Blade on Giyu Tomioka’s waist.
Legend has it that the special materials that can only be collected on mountains closest to the sun – "Scarlet Crimson Iron Sand" and "Scarlet Crimson Ore", are used to make iron that can absorb sunlight, and finally create special blades that possess the power of sunlight and can restrain the regeneration of demons.
If Drake remembered correctly, there shouldn’t be mountains in the island country that could be exposed to sunlight all day long, without clouds or rain.
However, there wouldn’t be any answers if he pursued the setting issues too deeply.
But Drake did have some understanding of the Nichirin Blade. Scarlet Crimson Iron Sand and Scarlet Crimson Ore were indeed special materials, and their compatibility with natural energy was astonishingly high.
And in the process of the Demon Slayer Corps training swordsmen, there was a step where swordsmen could choose the raw ore that attracted them after passing the final selection on Fujikasane Mountain, and then give it to a swordsmith to forge their own Nichirin Blade.
This was because the natural magic power attributes that the swordsmen were adapted to were different, and that special ore was also adapted to different attributes for various reasons.
This was also the reason why swordsmen and ore had a feeling of mutual attraction, and also the secret of the Nichirin Blade changing color.
And the Crimson Blade was the state in which natural magic power was active in the Nichirin Blade. This state could also cause more damage to demons.
And if you wanted to complete the Crimson Blade, grip strength wasn’t the main reason. The root was the breathing technique power that needed to be achieved to reach that grip strength standard.
As for heating the blade with Nezuko’s Blood Demon Art like Tanjiro or forcibly making the blade red like Gyomei Himejima, the Stone Pillar, those were all tricks.
And what Tanjiro had in his hand now was a sword that Drake had forged in the pirate world. Although it was also a rare and precious sword, it didn’t have the ability of a Nichirin Blade to kill demons.
So in the end, Drake still had to take action. Although Drake didn’t have a Nichirin Blade either, solving a demon wasn’t a problem. Drake didn’t believe that demons could still regenerate if they were burned to ashes at the cellular level.
Just as Drake was preparing to take action, a dog barked suddenly, and then a hunting dog darted out from the side, with a girl carrying a hunting rifle running out closely behind.
"Please wait!"
Drake recognized the girl. She was Yae, who said she saw a holeless bear eating people in the village, and should also be the family member of this demon.
Yae ran over and said, "Please wait, he’s my father, so let me..."
As Yae spoke, she gripped the hunting rifle in her hand, her eyes full of struggle.
Drake interrupted and said, "Why are you making things difficult for yourself? This wasn’t your responsibility to begin with."
"That’s right, slaying demons is the responsibility of us Demon Slayers!"
Drake frowned when he heard the familiar voice. How could it be such a coincidence that Giyu Tomioka appeared here.
But thinking about the fact that a demon was eating people, and Giyu Tomioka was nearby, it wasn’t strange to receive this mission. And another voice rang out closely behind.
"Ara ara! It seems that something interesting has happened here."
Drake turned his head to look at the man and woman coming with swords at their waists. What virtue or ability did this demon have to make two pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps come to subjugate him.
The girl wearing a haori with butterfly wing patterns beside Giyu Tomioka, with a smile on her face, was Shinobu Kocho, the Insect Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps.
What was surprising was that Giyu Tomioka didn’t emit any hostility after seeing Drake, but instead looked at the demon and drew his Nichirin Blade.
"He’s already a man-eating demon, so I will kill him!"
Still that tone that made people misunderstand, but Drake knew that Giyu Tomioka had already tried his best to comfort Yae.
Saying this, Giyu Tomioka instantly approached the demon, the sword in his hand bringing up pieces of water waves, directly slashing at the demon.
"Water Breathing: First Form: Water Surface Slash!"
"So fast!"
Tanjiro on the side exclaimed. He had only seen Giyu Tomioka move forward, and then instantly appear behind the demon, and had already begun to sheath his sword.
If he couldn’t win with one move against a demon who didn’t even have a Blood Demon Art, then Giyu Tomioka would be ashamed to be the Water Pillar.
A sword mark appeared on the demon’s neck. As the demon’s head fell, his body also began to turn to ashes.
Yae knelt on the ground, and large tears began to fall. Then she did something that surprised everyone. She put the hunting rifle against her chin and was about to pull the trigger to commit suicide.
No one had expected her to do this, and there was no time to stop her... except for Drake.
Drake had sensed the aura of death on her when Yae appeared, so when she wanted to commit suicide, he directly used his finger to jam the trigger of the hunting rifle.
"I understand your grief, but you can’t give up your life so easily! The lives of the living are not only their own, but also entrusted with the thoughts and prayers of the dead.
So what’s most important is your future life. Live for the lives that have passed away!"
Yae’s tears flowed even faster, and finally she burst into tears.
Drake also released the finger that was jamming the trigger. He could only say so much. If she still wanted to do something stupid, then that was her own choice.
And Drake, who had straightened up, also felt a probing gaze scanning his body.
Turning his head to look, Drake saw Shinobu Kocho, who wasn’t hiding her curiosity at all. And Giyu Tomioka also walked over from another direction, vaguely blocking his way out.
"This gentleman is truly eloquent. I wonder if I have the honor of getting to know you? By the way, my name is Shinobu Kocho, and I and Mr. Giyu Tomioka over there are swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps."
"Butterfly, step back! That guy is dangerous."
Giyu Tomioka said in a cold voice, expressing his wariness. It wasn’t that Giyu Tomioka wanted to attack Drake, but he simply felt that he should be cautious when facing Drake.
Shinobu Kocho waved her hand and said, "Mr. Tomioka is really fond of making a fuss. This gentleman obviously doesn’t have any hostility, and should be able to get along well, right?"
Drake spread out his hands and said, "That’s for sure. After all, my position should be the same as yours.
It just so happens that I also have many things I want to discuss with the Demon Slayer Corps. Let’s have a good talk!"
