Reborn in Demon Slayer: The Six Eyes Sorcerer
Chapter 2 – The Boy With Strange Eyes
The early morning mist covered the mountain path.
Ren Takahashi walked slowly along the dirt road, his small footsteps echoing faintly in the silent forest.
The events of last night still played in his mind.
A demon.
And he had destroyed it with a single technique.
Ren lifted his hand and stared at his fingers thoughtfully.
"Limitless… Blue…"
Even now he could feel the strange energy flowing inside his body. It was very different from what existed in the Demon Slayer world.
Demons used Blood Demon Arts.
Demon slayers used Breathing Techniques.
But Ren's power was something entirely different.
Cursed Energy.
Thanks to the Six Eyes, he could perfectly control it with almost zero loss.
His eyes slowly scanned the forest.
Everything appeared crystal clear.
The movement of insects.
The wind brushing through leaves.
Even small animals hiding inside the bushes.
The Six Eyes allowed him to process an insane amount of information instantly.
Ren smiled slightly.
"This power really is broken…"
Suddenly—
His eyes narrowed.
Someone was approaching.
Fast.
Extremely fast.
Ren turned his head toward the forest.
A figure landed silently on a tree branch above him.
A tall man wearing a half-patterned haori stood there calmly.
One side of the haori was dark red, while the other side was green with geometric patterns.
A katana rested in his hand.
His eyes were cold and sharp.
He stared directly at Ren.
"Who are you?"
Ren blinked.
That outfit…
That sword…
That calm but intimidating presence…
Ren immediately recognized him.
Giyu Tomioka.
The Water Hashira.
But something was strange.
Giyu was staring intensely at Ren's eyes.
"…Your eyes."
Ren tilted his head slightly.
"My eyes?"
Giyu jumped down from the tree and landed silently on the ground.
His hand remained on his sword.
"You're human… but your presence is strange."
Ren scratched his cheek casually.
"Well… that's a long story."
Giyu's gaze hardened.
"I smelled demon blood nearby."
His eyes moved toward the forest behind Ren.
"Did you see a demon here?"
Ren nodded casually.
"Yeah."
Giyu's grip on his sword tightened.
"Where is it?"
Ren pointed toward a destroyed area of trees.
"Over there."
Giyu moved instantly.
Within seconds he arrived at the destroyed spot.
The ground was cracked.
Trees had been violently pulled inward.
The area looked like something had collapsed into a small gravitational vortex.
Ashes of a demon still floated in the air.
Giyu's eyes widened slightly.
"…What happened here?"
He slowly turned back toward Ren.
"You killed it?"
Ren shrugged.
"Yeah."
Silence filled the forest.
Giyu stared at the child in front of him.
A small boy.
Maybe ten years old.
Yet he had somehow killed a demon.
Not only that—
The surrounding destruction didn't look like swordsmanship.
It looked like something had distorted space itself.
Giyu's instincts immediately warned him.
This child was not normal.
"What did you do?" Giyu asked calmly.
Ren thought for a moment.
Explaining cursed techniques to someone from this world would be complicated.
So he simply smiled.
"Special ability."
Giyu narrowed his eyes.
"Are you part of the Demon Slayer Corps?"
Ren shook his head.
"Nope."
"Then who trained you?"
Ren looked up at the sky thoughtfully.
"…No one."
Another long silence followed.
Then suddenly—
Giyu disappeared.
In the next instant he appeared right in front of Ren.
His hand moved faster than lightning.
SLASH.
His sword cut downward.
But—
CLANG.
The blade stopped mid-air.
Just centimeters away from Ren's neck.
Giyu's eyes widened.
The sword could not move any closer.
It was as if an invisible barrier existed between them.
"What is this…?"
Ren smiled.
"This?"
He tapped the invisible space lightly.
"It's called Infinity."
No matter how hard Giyu pushed his sword, it couldn't reach Ren.
The distance between them would never close.
For the first time in years—
The calm Water Hashira looked shocked.
Ren tilted his head playfully.
"So… are you done testing me?"
Giyu slowly pulled back his sword.
"…You're not a demon."
Ren laughed.
"Obviously."
Giyu stared at him for a moment.
Then he finally spoke.
"Come with me."
Ren raised an eyebrow.
"Where?"
"To the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters."
Ren blinked.
"Well… that was fast."
Giyu turned and began walking down the path.
"If someone with your abilities exists, the Master must know."
Ren smiled and followed behind him.
The strongest sorcerer of another world…
Was now heading toward the organization that hunted demons.
Neither of them knew yet—
But Ren's arrival would soon shake the entire Demon Slayer Corps.
And somewhere far away…
Inside a dark mansion…
A man with red eyes suddenly stopped drinking blood.
His body trembled slightly.
Muzan Kibutsuji felt an unknown unease.
"…Something has appeared in this world."
Something dangerous.
Something that even demons might not be able to kill.
