"Is this… an illusion?"
Butterfly Shinobu initially didn't notice, but two seconds later, her purple eyes were filled with surprise and doubt.
"No, it's not an illusion. Is there power filling my body?"
It's difficult for ordinary people to detect such a subtle increase in [Life Recovery Speed].
If it were Flame Pillar and Wind Pillar, they might just attribute it to the comfortable feeling of having eaten two extra bowls of rice this morning.
Yashiki Kagaya could clearly feel it because he had been tormented by illness for many years and was always at low health. So, it was like a severely injured person experiencing accelerated recovery, making him acutely aware.
As for Butterfly Shinobu,
She was the most skilled and knowledgeable in pharmacology among the Pillars, often experimenting on herself to develop many poisons and antidotes useful for slaying demons.
Therefore, after a brief experience, she also perceived that continuous sense of recovery.
"That's right, this is the power bestowed by the gods."
Seeing the newbie iron sword being passed around,
After one round, only Wind Pillar had a faint sensation, while the other two Pillars felt nothing.
Especially Flame Pillar, despite his loud exclamations, gained nothing and thought Butterfly Shinobu was joking with the Master and them.
It wasn't their fault.
After all, the enhancement provided by a newbie weapon is very weak, and the stronger the physical constitution of individuals like Flame Pillar and Sound Pillar, the harder it is for them to detect such a subtle improvement.
Wind Pillar could perceive it only because of his special constitution, possessing a rare blood type.
Butterfly Shinobu asked excitedly, "Is this a new technique developed by a new swordsmith?"
Among the Pillars,
Her body was relatively weak, unable to directly sever a demon's head with a Nichirin Blade, so she could only rely on poisons and stabs to inflict damage.
If this newbie short sword was a new masterpiece developed by a certain swordsmith,
Then in the future,
If the technique matured and this body amplification could be strengthened, it might compensate for her physical weakness.
This brand new swordsmithing technique,
Could indeed be called the power bestowed by the gods.
The other Pillars, after hearing Butterfly Shinobu's explanation, also stared intently at that newbie iron sword with serious expressions.
They also clearly understood the significance of this newbie iron sword.
The ability to accelerate injury recovery could reduce casualties among the Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen!
"There is no swordsmith."
Yashiki Kagaya shook his head and said, "This newbie iron sword is equipment I obtained in a place called Reincarnation Game after responding to an invitation letter."
Weapons like this,
Are just the lowest-grade equipment in the game, yet they already possess this level of ability.
If those stronger pieces of equipment could arm the children of the Demon Slayer Corps to the teeth, even if all Upper Rank Demons and the Demon King gathered, their heads would be cut off, right?
A gentle, clear voice slowly narrated what he had experienced in the Reincarnation Game.
This sudden change was unacceptable even to the cheerful and slightly thick-headed Flame Pillar.
All we could think of was new swordsmithing techniques,
But you, Master, suddenly brought up [Reincarnation Game]—who can process that in such a short time?
Just then,
A tall figure ran in from outside the courtyard.
Upon sensing the other Pillars in the courtyard, he first paused, then clasped his hands together, bowing respectfully to Yashiki Kagaya, and said, "Long time no see. I sincerely pray for Master, wishing your light of life may burn even brighter."
The newcomer was the Stone Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, Gyomei Himejima.
A swordsman who mastered Stone Breathing, the oldest, with the best physical constitution, and widely recognized as the strongest swordsman in modern times.
"Is that Gyomei?"
Yashiki Kagaya was slightly surprised, not expecting even Stone Pillar to rush over.
If he remembered correctly,
Stone Pillar should be in a relatively distant town, dealing with a man-eating demon task.
To rush here, he must have set off last night.
"Master, I took the train back overnight to report some strange matters to you."
Stone Pillar Gyomei had not received a message from Yashiki Kagaya,
But had returned on his own initiative.
Normally, without a Pillar Meeting, the Nine Pillars spend most of their time in various towns and do not return to the Demon Slayer Corps except for necessary supplies.
Frequent returns would easily expose the long-hidden location of the Demon Slayer Corps.
Therefore, the [Pillar Meeting] is held every six months.
But now, there was still some time until the Pillar Meeting.
Stone Pillar was also curious why four Pillars had appeared at the Demon Slayer Corps. Was it the same situation as his?
"Strange matters?"
Yashiki Kagaya's heart stirred.
If there was one strange thing, it was definitely the Reincarnation Game he encountered. Could Stone Pillar also be like him?
He had not been arrogant enough to believe that only he could obtain this invitation letter.
Since it was an invitation letter,
It certainly wouldn't be inviting just one person.
"Master, please see."
Stone Pillar Gyomei knelt on the ground and pulled out a pure black invitation letter from his Pregnant.
This invitation letter,
Had suddenly appeared at his feet.
Stone Pillar, who had been blind for many years, could only vaguely see blurry shadows; everything relied on his hearing and swordsman's breathing.
He should have ignored this black invitation letter directly,
But somehow,
This invitation letter was like a lamp in the dark night, attracting his attention.
Upon picking up the invitation letter, that seductive text appeared in his mind: capable of fulfilling all wishes.
Feeling shocked and strange, Stone Pillar immediately rushed back to the Demon Slayer Corps to report this matter to Master.
"Gyomei, did you also get this invitation letter?"
Although Yashiki Kagaya could see, he couldn't touch it at all.
His finger went straight through it.
This was Stone Pillar Gyomei's unique invitation letter, condensed from his will.
Gyomei froze for a moment. It sounded like Master already knew about the invitation letter. He asked, "Could it be, Master, that you…?"
"That's right."
Yashiki Kagaya was very happy that the Demon Slayer Corps could have one more player, and it was Stone Pillar, who had the most solid foundation and strongest power.
He smiled and said, "I have already become a player of the Reincarnation Game. Don't worry, Gyomei, there's no danger, and for us, it's the strongest weapon to defeat Muzan Kibutsuji!"
With Master's words,
Stone Pillar Gyomei used the invitation letter without hesitation, and his figure instantly vanished.
"He disappeared!"
Flame Pillar stared blankly at the spot where Stone Pillar Gyomei had vanished, like an owl.
While he couldn't sense the special nature of the newbie iron sword,
The sudden disappearance of a living person completely shocked him.
"Was the Gyomei just now a Blood Demon Art?"
Wind Pillar Sanemi's mouth hung wide open.
He had seen magicians in big cities who needed boxes and curtains to make a person disappear.
Gyomei just vanished right before their eyes?
Only those strange Blood Demon Arts could explain what was happening before them.
"Everyone, please wait patiently for a moment."
Yashiki Kagaya spoke gently, then placed a finger to his lips.
The Pillars immediately fell silent and began to wait quietly.
Two hours later,
When the Pillars arrived, it was just dawn, but now it was noon.
Yashiki Kagaya's wife, the white-haired Amane, thoughtfully prepared food for everyone. Just as Flame Pillar was devouring his meal,
The vanished Gyomei suddenly reappeared.
Clang.
Flame Pillar immediately drew his Nichirin Blade, the sound of the blade rubbing against the scabbard was extremely harsh.
The other Pillars also stood ready,
And only sheathed their swords after clearly seeing the sunlight falling on Stone Pillar Gyomei.
It was well known that
Demons would be burned by the sun. Although Stone Pillar Gyomei was suspected of mastering a Blood Demon Art, he was not burned to death, so the suspicion disappeared.
"Master!"
"This monk simply cannot believe it! It's truly a miracle from the gods!"
Stone Pillar Gyomei, back in his original spot, clasped his hands together, tears constantly streaming from his unfocused eyes.
