…
soon.
Butterfly House.
"...Gah! Karma!"
The panting crow fluttered its wings and swayed over the butterfly house, muttering to itself unconsciously:
"Ask for help..."
The heavy wings flapped one last time.
This is almost the fastest it has flown in its short life.
After vaguely seeing the open window on the second floor, it rushed in:
boom!
"Gah!"
It stabbed Tanjuro in the back who was sitting on the bunk!
Tanjuro just opened his eyes from the memory and was about to stand up and take a deep breath when he was unexpectedly attacked.
After staggering forward, he turned his head.
The bird collapsed behind him, his breath was weak and his voice was intermittent:
"Tokitou...Nada Spider Mountain...winding..."
Hear the words.
Tanjuro was startled. He raised his head and looked through the window in the direction outside Butterfly House.
Uh-huh!
The whole person turned into an afterimage and disappeared in place.
At this time.
Creak——
The door to the room was pushed open, and Mao poked his head in, rubbing his eyes:
"Dad, it's time to eat-"
After seeing that there was no one in the room.
"...Hey, aren't you here?"
Mao was stunned at the door, scratching his head in confusion.
Bang, bang...
The open windows were blown by the breeze, making sounds as they collided.
…
…
at the same time.
Natian Spider Mountain.
"What is all this!?"
Inosuke had no time to react. He was tied tightly by the spider silk and hung under a tree again. He twisted and struggled angrily and shouted:
"hateful!!"
After struggling for a while, he calmed down as if resigned to his fate, and looked at the [eldest sister] twisted and converging into a human form under the tree.
After looking into the eldest sister's tear-filled eyes.
"?"
inosuke.exe has stopped running.
…
the other side.
Uh-huh! Uh-huh!
Lei kept waving his hands, frowning slightly, and the white spider threads moved around.
boom! !
The spider silk bombarded the ground, kicking up bursts of dust, and the surrounding trees were constantly cut off and fell down.
He looked at Tokito and the other two people who were doing well with ease, his eyes becoming more and more impatient.
It has been some time since I was promoted to the rank of top stringer.
Yesterday, I advanced to a higher level of numbers, so my strength should be even stronger.
Why - these guys are so difficult to deal with.
Uh-huh!
The sharp spider threads instantly rushed towards the Tokito family!
Bah——!
Brilliant sparks bloomed between the friction between the blade and the spider silk, making a harsh scraping sound.
Illuminating the dark surroundings.
"So heavy!"
Muichiro leaned back, using the blade of the knife to roll up the drawn spider silk, and held on to the handle of the knife.
——The blade is caught!
Looking at the blade tangled in spider silk, he gritted his teeth and turned to look around.
"I'm running out of patience."
Lei stood in front, moved his fingers slightly, and looked coldly at the rebellious father and son.
[Vampire Technique·Engraved Prison]
Wow——!
The arm was pulled back suddenly!
Uh-huh!
A densely woven spider web immediately formed from the treetops, shrouding straight in the direction of Muichiro!
The sharp reflection of the spider web was reflected in Muichiro's pupils, and he was slightly startled.
Muichiro's breathing became rapid, and he subconsciously wanted to take a step back.
He looked to his side not far away.
My father had easily broken free from the shackles of the cobweb.
My brother practices swordsmanship every day, and he seems to be very good at it now. He can even occasionally say something to make the white-haired ghost opposite him look anxious.
Although I have been practicing swordsmanship, Breath of the Moon and God of Fire Kagura, my body's flexibility and strength have improved, but I have not been able to master both.
——Only yourself is the weakest.
So, did that guy choose to deal with himself first?
Muichiro concentrated so much that the time around him seemed to slow down, giving him time to react.
The location of the father and brother was deliberately kept away by the guy with spider silk.
He retracted his eyes and looked at the approaching spider web in front of him with his pupils narrowed.
If it is cut, it will definitely turn into pieces of flesh instantly like the female ghost just now.
In my mind, I don't know why, but at this moment, I remembered the past.
Laughter in the Butterfly House.
Shigeru, Takeo, Tanjiro…
Muichiro was in a daze unconsciously. He held up the handle of the knife that was wrapped in spider silk, and his pupils expanded slightly for a moment.
"Muichiro."
That was Tanjuro's voice in his vague memory.
He said:
"Between swinging the knife, remember the rhythm of your breathing."
next moment.
"Hiss—!!" Wuichiro came back to his senses. He took a deep breath of air, his eyes widened, and he clenched the handle of the knife.
Staring closely at the spider web approaching quickly in front of him.
Memories of past practices kept flooding into my mind, and the familiar breathing rhythm rose and fell in my chest.
His pupils shrank suddenly and his eyes were firm.
Get moving!
Uh-huh!
The blade that was entangled in the spider web in his hand was twisted, two decisive blades of light flashed quickly, and the spider silk entangled with the blade suddenly broke!
The moment he released the blade, Muichiro leaned down slightly and raised his head.
Facing the sharp spider thread that was already approaching.
Opening the corners of his mouth, white steam overflowed.

then.
across.
Tired of vision.
Uh-huh!
[The spider web crossed Muichiro's body decisively and swiftly. The opponent instantly lost the ability to move and stood sluggishly. ]
but.
Creaking…
Tired of pulling his fingers, he didn't feel anything real the moment the spider web passed across Muichiro's body.
What the eyes saw was definitely hit.
——Is it too hard?
Just when I was confused about this.
"Muichiro——!!"
Ichiro's eyes widened, he looked at the position where Muichiro was standing in horror, and he shouted hysterically.
It's too far, I was tangled in spider silk just now and couldn't run over!
His eyes were trembling, and he subconsciously stretched out his hand in that direction and grabbed it twice.
His vision was shaking in a daze, and he looked at his motionless brother in disbelief.
He only felt a chill rising at the bottom of his throat.
Dizziness and roaring in the brain.
Buzz—!
This is the sound of tinnitus.
"Muichiro" did not respond when he was called, and seemed to just stand there.
Ichiro couldn't imagine what had just happened. His mind was blank at the moment, and he couldn't even think.
Blinking in panic:
"Ah...ah...! How...!"
Why—why Muichiro was scratched by the spider thread.
——Why didn’t you resist?
Why--
——Why couldn’t I rush over?
In his field of vision, the hand stretched out in the direction of Muichiro was a little blurry.
His pupils were trembling violently, and the ringing in his ears became more intense:
"Ooohhhhh!!"
Shout hysterically.
I couldn't even hear my father's shouting over his shoulder.
Ichiro breathed rapidly, his lungs rising and falling like a broken blower, and he murmured a few unconscious words.
The hand holding the handle of the knife was tightly clenched.
He lowered his head and stared at the knife in his hand.
Uh-huh! Uh-huh!
He quickly cut off the spider silk around him with two knives, slumped his shoulders, and then turned his head with empty eyes, staring in the direction of tiredness.
boom!
Deep footprints are carved under your feet!
[Complete Collection·Breath of the Moon]
He clenched the blade in his hand, turned into an afterimage, and sprinted straight towards Lei!
opposite.
"What are you yelling for?"
"I just failed to fulfill my obligations."
"It seems that the bond between you only reaches this level."
He said calmly, looking at Ichiro who turned into an afterimage and disappeared on the spot, he was slightly confused.
——The speed has become faster, what’s going on...
Just when I was about to raise my hand to lay a spider web in front of my face.
I suddenly caught a glimpse of it from the corner of my eye.
not far away.
The "Muichiro" who stood still.
It turned into an illusory afterimage, slowly fading away and disappearing.
"——Disappeared?!" Lei stared at the disappeared Muichiro in disbelief, and shouted in surprise.
Taking advantage of the moment of fatigue, shock and daze.
tread!
Ichiro accelerated suddenly and appeared beside him in an instant, with the Nichirin sword hanging down in his hand, the blade facing upwards.
His face was clenched with suppressed emotions.
Almost without regard to the consequences, Ichiro's muscles tensed up, his eyes turned white, and anger boiled and burned in his heart.
Full strength.
【One type】
He tightened his grip on the handle of the knife and picked it up suddenly!
The bright yellow moonlight suddenly lit up on the blade.
Poof!
The blade instantly cut across my tired arm! Cut it off at the joints!
"Pfft, ho!" Tired staggered backwards, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he moved his eyes to look at Ichiro who appeared beside him.
——This speed? !
Creaking…
The other hand quickly moved its fingers, and dense white spider webs instantly condensed on the side of the body!
Spider silk forms a sharp web! Blocked Ichiro's next attack!
"asshole!!"
"Take my brother..."
Ichiro's eyes were bloodshot and veins popped out on his face. He gritted his teeth and almost squeezed out the syllables from the bottom of his throat:
"…return!!"
laugh!
Just when he didn't care, his body was still carrying the sharp spider silk and he wanted to continue moving forward.
"elder brother!!"
Muichiro's excited voice came from above his head:
"I succeeded!!"
——?
Ichiro suddenly froze on the spot and looked up.
Wow!
Muichiro jumped down from the tree, his hair was blown by the falling wind, and there was an excited smile on his dirty face:
"Kagura, the God of Fire! Kamado-san taught me!"
"I've used it!"
[Type of Si·Huan Sun Hong]——
——Use high-speed movements and spins to leave afterimages in place.
——People with better eyesight will see clearer afterimages.
In the moment when he quickly dodged the spider web, Muichiro rushed directly to the top of the forest in one breath.
As for what Kui and Ichiro saw, they were all the afterimages left in place.
Ichiro below looked up at Muichiro's intact appearance, and he blinked dully.
--Live?
"Oh...ahem!!"
His rapid breathing stopped quickly due to his confusion, and he even choked.
At this time.
"Ah! It fell!"
Muichiro shouted in surprise, and a small flute fell from his body:
"Flute!"
In mid-air as it spins to the ground.
Uh-huh!
A slender spider thread flashed past, quickly splitting the flute in two in the middle!
Snap! The red blood overflowed from the flute and sprinkled in the air.
Muichiro's surprised expression was reflected in the crystal blood drops.
…
…
Zhushi Mansion.
"So, your Excellency came here this time to..."
Yushiro quietly watched Tsukuni Iwakatsu drink tea.
Sudden.
The upper and lower pairs of closed eyes of Tsukuni Iwa Katsumoto suddenly opened with force, almost filling his entire face.
He stared straight ahead with six eyes, sipping tea.
As Yushirou was talking, he suddenly felt a cold sensation under his feet.
He lowered his head subconsciously, but found nothing.
When he just raised his suspicious eyes.
Snap.
In front of him, Jiguo Yansheng had disappeared.
Only the empty teacup was left spinning slowly on the table, making an empty sound.
Yushiro kept his expression strong, but his forehead was faintly twitching.
…
…
Snap.
Muichiro landed on the ground, and he looked at each other in confusion with Ichiro, who was even more confused.
Immediately, he bent down and picked up the flute that was broken into two pieces on the ground.
"You...just...!" Ichiro looked at his younger brother blankly. His mouth was choked but he didn't say anything.
At this time.
Snap, snap.
Blood dripped on fallen leaves.
"…enough."
Lei Yin had a sullen face, he lowered his head, his severed left arm grew rapidly, and a rare and clear emotion called anger appeared on his face:
"I don't want family members like you."
He muttered in a low voice, slowly raised his hand, and a bright red color began to spread on his elbow.
He raised his head and looked fiercely:
"go to hell!"
The tips of the fingers secreted blood, and the pale spider threads were instantly soaked red.
[Vampire Technique: Carved Line Rotation]
Creak——!
Blood-red spider silk was woven in mid-air, and red cocoons like giant whirlpools condensed between the hands.
The next moment, he will launch towards Ichiro who is nearest in front of him!
The two brothers stood together, looking at the huge scarlet spider silk coming towards their faces. The exhausted two people could not react in time.
Yilang ran from behind the two of them, holding out his hand.
Just when he was about to sprint with all his strength, regardless of the consequences.
At this time!
Uh-huh! Uh-huh!
Two black shadows streaked across the ground, carrying a gust of wind, and passed by Yilang almost instantly.
tread!
Two figures came to Tokito and Tokiru at the same time.
Maroon feathers and snake-pattern feathers fluttered in the wind.
Tanjuro raised his head and stood in front of Muichiro.
He glanced sideways at Tsukuni Iwakatsu, who was standing near Ichiro.
The two of them looked at each other with eight eyes.
Click.
Two crisp sounds of the collision of knives were heard.
What followed was the sound of blades as dense as the wind breaking through the air.
Wow——
The bright red spider silk lost its support and slowly fell from the air, turning into ashes in the process.
Muichiro opened his eyes. He glanced blankly at the back of the person in front of him, and then at the person in front of his brother.
Suddenly he shouted:
"Uncle Six Eyes!"
Then, his face turned pale and he quickly covered his mouth with his hands.
In front of several people.
"…Eh?"
Blinking tiredly, he glanced at his head held between the two knives, and said in confusion:
"what happens…"
thump!
The headless body shook feebly twice, and then slowly fell to the ground.
When he looked around in a daze, his eyes suddenly focused on Jiguo Imasa in front of him:
"Wind the string...!"
He slowly widened his eyes, and his eyes kept moving on the three members of Tsukuni Iwakatsu and Tokito's family, and he murmured:
"Ghosts...people...exactly the same bloodline..."
"After becoming a ghost, are you still protecting your descendants...伱! This is..."
The light called longing flickered in tired eyes, and the corners of his mouth trembled:
"A true bond..."
"Really want…"
rustle…
As he spoke, ashes welled up on his face.
Tanjuro held Muichiro's Nichirin sword, and he held Tired's head with the sword without making a sound.
