Chapter 53 Attack
As Midouzi cried out in surprise, the entire room fell into a deathly silence.
Tamayo and Yushiro watched in silence, waiting for Nezuko to continue her questioning.
Tanjiro, however, looked around curiously, as if searching for something.
[Does becoming a ghost mean you can only eat people and suck blood? What about my brother?]
Nezuko couldn't help but look at Tanjiro, her heart heavy.
But when she saw Tanjiro seemingly searching for something, she asked him with some confusion.
"Brother, what are you looking for?"
When Tamayo and Yushiro heard Nezuko's question, they also looked up at Tanjiro with curiosity.
They also noticed Tanjiro's change and were very curious about what Tanjiro was looking for on his first visit here.
"Where is the child...?"
Tanjiro looked around for a moment before finally asking the question.
In an instant, the air in the room became even more deathly still.
On the streets of Tokyo, a crying girl wandered aimlessly.
After the petal barrier disappeared, her mother and the bad guy vanished without a trace.
She could only walk helplessly, calling out "Mommy" over and over again.
But as she was wiping away her tears, she bumped into someone.
The little girl looked up and saw a man sweating profusely, his teeth chattering, and words etched into his eyes.
"Thank goodness, I'm still alive!"
After uttering these words with trembling voices, Lower Moon Two looked at the little girl who had bumped into him.
Have you ever met my mother?
The little girl looked up at Lower Moon Two timidly and asked.
Looking at the tearful little girl, Lower Moon Two couldn't help but drool.
It looks delicious.
"Little girl, what does your mother look like?"
Lower Moon Two slowly squatted down, suppressing his impulse, and asked slowly.
"My...my mother was taken away by them!"
Just as the little girl was about to describe it, she saw three people hurrying along the street.
It turned out that when Midouzi and the others remembered the little girl, they immediately went out to look for her.
Tamayo, fearing that Nezuko and the others were unfamiliar with the routes to Tokyo Prefecture, sent Yushiro along instead.
However, compared to Nezuko and Tanjiro's nervousness, Yushiro seemed exceptionally impatient.
The next second, Tanjiro's nose twitched, and a uniquely demonic, bloody smell entered his nasal cavity.
Tanjiro abruptly stopped, his aura instantly tensing, and his sharp gaze swept across the other side of the street.
"What's wrong, brother?"
Nezuko also stopped and looked in the direction Tanjiro was looking.
"Are you still looking?"
Yushiro, looking impatient, also stopped in his tracks.
However, when the two groups of people looked at each other, Midouzi and his friends gasped.
When Lower Moon Two saw Tanjiro's earrings, he was first taken aback, then revealed an excited smile.
[What incredible luck! If I can capture him, Lord Muzan will definitely give me more blood. Maybe then I can become an Upper Moon.]
Lower Moon Two laughed maniacally, even suppressing his longing for the little girl.
Meanwhile, Mizuko was thinking, "Oh no, there's something fishy about that little girl!"
[Lower Moon Two!! How come there's a Twelve Demon Moon here? Hmm, no, his eyes have cracks, is he a discarded Lower Moon Two?]
Yushiro stared in disbelief at the former Twelve Demon Moons, quickly analyzing the situation.
Where is my mother?
Just as tensions were running high, a little girl's question rang out, causing Lower Moon Two to move.
"Haha, don't be afraid, little girl, I'll send them to see your mother right away."
Lower Moon Two rushed excitedly toward Tanjiro, his eyes fixed solely on him.
"Mr. Yushiro! I'm entrusting that child to you!"
In an instant, Mizuko realized that the demon's target was her brother. Without hesitation, she drew the two Nichirin Blades from her waist with a "whoosh".
She handed one of the swords to Tanjiro with her backhand, the blade pointing directly at Lower Moon Two.
"Take care of yourselves! The Twelve Demon Moons are right across from us!"
Yushiro shouted anxiously, but his body betrayed him as he rushed over, scooped up the terrified little girl, and quickly retreated, leaving the battlefield to the brother and sister.
"The Twelve Ghost Months?"
Nezuko was taken aback at first, then saw Tanjiro and Lower Moon Two collide.
Tanjiro parried Lower Rank Two's attack with his Nichirin Blade, then immediately pushed Lower Rank Two away with increased force.
Then his form transformed back into a demonic shape, and his body suddenly grew taller.
Nezuko also suppressed Yushiro's words and immediately stood next to Tanjiro.
"Hmm? It can change!"
Lower Moon Two stumbled a few steps after being pushed, but when he regained his balance and looked at Tanjiro, he chuckled softly, his eyes filled with violent excitement.
"Since that's the case, then I'll change too!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lower Moon Two's body suddenly exploded with a series of cracking sounds.
The flesh on both sides of his body suddenly burst open, and two pairs of thick arms burst out of his body, wildly swinging bone blades that gleamed with a cold light.
The veins on his neck were bulging, and two bloodshot heads were forced out.
The three faces simultaneously grinned with bloodthirsty smiles, their eyes slowly turning as they looked mockingly at Tanjiro and Nezuko.
In an instant, Lower Moon Two transformed into a creature with three heads and six arms.
Nezuko and Tanjiro looked at the scene before them, their expressions instantly turning extremely solemn, and their grip on their Nichirin Blades tightened even more.
Is this the Twelve Ghost Months? They seem far more formidable than any of the ghosts I've ever encountered.
Nenezuko gripped the Nichirin Blade tightly, and her senses became even more acute at that moment.
Lower Moon Two let out a wild laugh, and all six bone blades were drawn simultaneously, their cold light reflecting off his three distorted faces.
"Blood Demon Art: Six-Armed Mountain Slayer!"
Before the words were even finished, six arms transformed into bone blades hurtled towards them.
The next second, six deep trenches were instantly cleaved into the ground, crushing towards Nezuko and Tanjiro.
Tanjiro's pupils contracted sharply, and his demon-transformed body unleashed astonishing speed.
He grabbed Mi Douzi's wrist and retreated hastily on the broken stone slabs, barely dodging the aftershocks of the blade's wind.
"Brother, be careful, we're on the left and right."
With a low shout, Mi Douzi stomped his feet and shot off to the left like an arrow.
Upon hearing this, Tanjiro immediately gripped his Nichirin Blade and began charging up his power towards the right side of Lower Moon Two.
"Water Breathing - Fourth Form - Tide Rising!"
Midouzi took a deep breath, his hand gripping the knife shifted, and the spray from the blade slashed towards Lower Moon Two's neck.
Tanjiro gripped his Nichirin Blade tightly, leaped high into the air, and slashed at Lower Moon Two.
Lower Moon Two looked at their flawed attack and chuckled softly.
"madness."
His voice was hoarse and cold, and all three heads turned towards the brother and sister at the same time.
"Blood Demon Art, Three-Headed Soul-Stealing Technique!"
