(Extra chapter)
Honestly, I'm tired of the exceptions, but fine, take the extra chapter again before we even finish the power stone
A new extra chapter will begin once we reach 100 energy stones.
________
A burly figure flew backward, slamming hard into a nearby tree. A branch pierced through his chest, and his Corps uniform had long since been torn apart.
This was the swordsman who had just warned Kiyokawa Izumi.
He looked somewhat familiar.
His name seemed to be... Tanaka Kentaro?
Kiyokawa Izumi had a very deep impression of him.
Because he was hulking and very burly!
"Be careful..."
Before he could finish his sentence, White round worms emerged from deep within his eye sockets. They dragged Tanaka Kentaro's eyeballs along, crawling rapidly toward their main body.
Kiyokawa Izumi's brow furrowed slightly as he quickly moved to his side—this man's heart had been pierced by the branch, and hot blood continued to flow without stopping.
'Be careful? Of what?'
'What exactly are these eerie worms?'
'A Blood Demon Art?'
"Eyes... delicious!"
"Another Demon Slayer coming to die? Your eyes are very special... I want them... Can you give them to me?"
A graceful figure appeared from the shadows. She wore a red Kimono, and the skin she exposed was incredibly pale.
It wasn't a sickly white
Meeting those empty eye sockets, he felt an inexplicable, sudden heart palpitation.
The White round worms crawling on the ground dragged the bloody eyeballs and merged directly into the demon's body. In the next second, a pair of eyeballs sprouted on her arm.
As if growing beneath the skin, the suddenly appearing eyes stared fixedly at Kiyokawa Izumi.
"Blood-red eyes... I want them! Give them to me!"
"Give them to me!!"
A roar suddenly erupted. The young demon seemed to lose control all of a sudden. As she raised her arm, the two swordsmen who were no longer breathing actually stood up inexplicably.
As she raised her hand, Kiyokawa Izumi noticed the eyes in her palms.
The grayish-blue eyelids drooped lazily, but the eyeballs rolled restlessly, with bloodshot veins spreading across the whites.
The two eyes in her palms were undoubtedly the largest.
The one on the left was engraved with two characters—lower rank six!
The moment he saw it clearly, Kiyokawa Izumi's scalp tingled.
He really hadn't expected to run into a Lower Rank!
It was as if he had an indissoluble bond with the lower rank six.
Kamanue, the future lower rank six, had been killed by him.
As it turned out, killing a future lower rank six had no impact on the overall situation—a completely unknown demon with unknown abilities had replaced Kamanue and already become the lower rank six.
The unlucky Kyougai was laid off once again.
This former lower rank six was truly unfortunate; whether Kamanue died or not, his position as lower rank six could not be kept.
Without time to mourn for him, the even unluckier Kiyokawa Izumi had an incredibly solemn expression.
A genuine Lower Rank was right in front of him!
Facing his dead comrades, Kiyokawa Izumi felt some hesitation in his heart—did he really have to damage their remains?
His figure retreated repeatedly, his peripheral vision scanning the scene.
'What exactly is this one's ability? Does it have to do with controlling corpses?'
'Or is it that those little worms split from her body can control the living or the dead?'
'If it really is that ability, it won't be hard to deal with...'
Kiyokawa Izumi picked up a nichirin blade dropped on the ground and silently apologized to the pouncing Tanaka Kentaro.
He suddenly threw the extra nichirin blade, the sharp blade piercing straight through Tanaka Kentaro's left chest, pinning his body firmly to a thick tree trunk.
This was the best solution he could think of.
Facing a Lower Rank, Kiyokawa Izumi could only do his best to ensure the integrity of their remains.
'Where is the second nichirin blade?'
'Why can't I find it anywhere?'
Avoiding direct combat, Kiyokawa Izumi had to search for the blade while keeping an eye on the Lower Rank's main body and watching out for attacks from the controlled corpses.
Multitasking three ways, his concentration was at its peak.
A sharp, clear sound came from the rain as the drenched Kasugai Crows flew over staggeringly.
It wasn't just one, but three!
One of them belonged to Kiyokawa Izumi.
They were clutching broken nichirin blades with only half the length left in their talons.
Seeing this, it would be a lie to say Kiyokawa Izumi wasn't touched.
Without time to think, his legs suddenly exerted force. "Just drop them to me, leave this place first!"
Using this broken nichirin blade, Kiyokawa Izumi pinned the other swordsman to a tree trunk. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, his footsteps stumbled, and he nearly fell to the ground.
'What's going on?'
'I've only been using the Sharingan for a short while; why does my vision feel a bit blurry?'
Kiyokawa Izumi was slightly startled. With his current physical strength and energy, how could he not even last three minutes?
Something is wrong; things don't happen like this without a reason!
Suddenly remembering something, Kiyokawa Izumi rolled up his sleeve to find white spots on his left wrist.
This hand had been gripped tightly by that strange swordsman.
'Shit!!'
Kiyokawa Izumi really hadn't noticed this.
If it weren't for the strange sensation in his body, he wouldn't even have known he had been poisoned.
Who would have thought that a swordsman who needed help was a trap set by a demon.
No wonder Tanaka Kentaro's last words to him were "Be careful!"
'Poison and worms? Just how many abilities does it have? Are you kidding me?
