Chapter 175 The Desperate Situation of a Genius
In the final trial grounds of the Demon Slayer Corps, amidst a forest filled with tall vegetation, Sabito and Makomo are engaged in a fierce battle with the Hand Demon.
The trees in the surrounding environment were so badly damaged in their frenzied battle that it would take decades for them to regain their former lushness.
It had been a while since Giyuu and Murata left. Sabito, dragging his injured body, joined forces with Makomo to keep the demon from leaving.
Although Sabito had a broken arm and could only fight with one hand, his powerful talent allowed him to quickly adapt to one-handed combat. He grew stronger and stronger in his battle against the Hand Demon, with the assistance of Makomo.
The hand demon felt increasing pressure in the fight against them, and even the previously confident heart showed a hint of fear.
This was a situation the Hand Ghost had never encountered before. There was no such thing as a human becoming stronger in battle; this had overturned his understanding.
"Don't be afraid. Human strength is limited and cannot compare to that of ghosts. Just hold on a little longer, and once they run out of energy, you will win."
A hint of fear crept into the hand demon's eyes, and it kept reassuring itself. Its attack pattern shifted from offense to defense.
"Makomo, the Hand Demon has already appeared and is scared. You should take advantage of this rare opportunity to escape while I still have the strength to hold on for a while."
Sabito whispered to Makomo, accepting the fate of those who remained would die. Despite Sabito's good intentions, Makomo pretended not to hear and instead swung her Nichirin Blade even more vigorously at the Hand Demon.
"What a wild rice!"
Seeing that Makomo remained unmoved, Sabito called out her name. He hoped Makomo would obey; rather than both of them dying together, it was better to seize this opportunity to save one of them.
"I won't do it!"
Makomo replied sharply, her tone resolute, and tiny beads of tears streamed from her slightly reddened eyes. This was the most out of control she had ever been.
"Why do you always take on everything when it's not your responsibility alone?"
Sabito: "Makomo, I am your senior brother. I promised Master that I would protect you as your senior brother. This is my responsibility as your senior brother."
Makomo shook her head repeatedly: "I won't listen. I didn't hear it. If I didn't hear it, it doesn't exist. Don't try to use your master to pressure me."
Seeing his usually obedient and adorable junior sister suddenly become disobedient, Sabito was somewhat troubled.
While they were chatting, the Hand Demon had already controlled numerous arms to attack. The arms were winding and crisscrossing, attacking from all directions, trying to kill the two of them in one fell swoop.
Hand Ghost: "You can all die!"
The Hand Demon's arms attacked like a swarm of snakes, dense and fast. Faced with this situation, Sabito and Mako were communicating, but they never lost their attention to the surrounding movements.
Sabito and Makomo worked in perfect harmony, back to back, forming a defensive formation with no blind spots, blocking the attacking arm.
Seeing that the two were helpless, the Hand Demon hardened his heart and controlled more arms to join the attack.
The two sides began a contest of physical strength and endurance. This situation was very unfavorable for Sabito and Makomo. On the contrary, for Tegi, physical strength was Tegi's strength, and he could not possibly lose.
"Hehehe, you've slowed down, haven't you? You're all doomed now."
Seeing that the two were no longer swinging their swords as fast as before, the Hand Demon let out a smug laugh.
The arms relentlessly attacked Sabito and Makomo. No matter how many arms they cut off, many more would fill the gaps, flowing towards them like a never-ending stream, never giving Sabito and Makomo a chance to rest.
