Chapter 562: SFDI - 562
Drake watched Tanjiro put the blood of Gyokko and Doma into the backpack on the back of a cat that appeared out of nowhere, and then watched the cat disappear before his eyes.
Blood Demon Arts were really unreasonable things. He really didn’t know how Tamayo had created such a special creature.
Tanjiro stood up, looked at Drake, and said, "Miss Tamayo’s request has been completed. What should we do next?"
Drake let out a long sigh and said, "Next, it’s time for us to meet the head of the Demon Slayer Corps, who has been providing assistance all along."
Tanjiro showed an expectant expression and said, "I wonder what kind of person he is!"
"You’ll know when you see him with your own eyes."
Drake answered as he turned to leave, and Tanjiro quickly followed.
...
Two days later, led by a Demon Slayer Corps member with the word "Hidden" written on the back of his uniform, Drake and his group of four arrived at the Ubuyashiki family’s residence.
After entering the courtyard, Drake saw nine people, including Giyu Tomioka and Shinobu Kocho, kneeling in a row, and a man and a woman kneeling at the entrance facing the gate.
What was most striking about the man wasn’t the hideous scars on his forehead, but the warm aura on his body that made people trust him.
And the only one who had such an aura was Kagaya Ubuyashiki, the current head of the Demon Slayer Corps. The woman beside him was his wife, Amane Ubuyashiki.
Without a doubt, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, whose body was so weak that he couldn’t even hold a sword steadily, was the soul of the Demon Slayer Corps.
It was because of his management that the swordsmen could concentrate on fighting. And it was because of his guidance that the swordsmen who had experienced all kinds of tragedies could walk on the right path.
And there was a reason why Kagaya Ubuyashiki’s physical condition was so poor.
Muzan Kibutsuji himself might have forgotten that when he was still human, he also had the Ubuyashiki surname.
Because the source of all evil, the demon king, had appeared in their family, the Ubuyashiki family was as if cursed.
At first, even the babies born couldn’t grow up, until they married into the family of priests that it was somewhat alleviated.
But even so, the members of the Ubuyashiki family were plagued by an unknown disease, and their lifespan wouldn’t exceed thirty years at most.
What was admirable was that none of the Ubuyashiki had complained about fate, but instead regarded it as a mission given to them by heaven to kill the demon king.
With the powerful minds and almost precognitive intuition that had been passed down from generation to generation, the Ubuyashiki family led the Demon Slayer Corps in fighting against the demons.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki was no exception. Even though his life was now like a candle in the wind that could be extinguished at any time, that powerful will hadn’t wavered in the slightest.
Seeing the group walk in, the two bowed at the same time, putting their hands on the ground.
"Thank you all for your contributions to the cause of slaying demons. I want to thank you even more for letting us see the hope of killing Muzan Kibutsuji!"
At the same time, the nine pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps sitting on the side made the same gesture, expressing their gratitude for what the two had done.
Tanjiro was at a loss for what to do, and didn’t know what to say.
Drake stepped forward with a solemn expression and said, "Please raise your heads! Haven’t you and the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps been doing the same thing all along!"
After Kagaya Ubuyashiki and the nine pillars straightened up, Drake continued, "I didn’t come to visit this time to exchange pleasantries. Let’s discuss what we agreed on before!"
Even with Kagaya Ubuyashiki’s temperament, he couldn’t help but get excited at this time, and said, "Is the time ripe?"
Drake nodded and said, "Almost. Three of the Upper Ranks have already been killed. Even if they are temporarily replaced, they can’t have the strength they had before.
Next, we just need to wait for Miss Tamayo’s drug development to be completed, and then we can start preparing the plan to kill Muzan Kibutsuji.
But before that, the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps still need to become stronger.
The remaining three Upper Ranks, plus Muzan himself, require the power of marks, the Transparent World, and the Crimson Blade to be mastered in order to fight them.
At the same time, you also need to practice cooperating in joint operations. Don’t think that the opponent in the final battle is someone you can defeat alone.
During the time before the plan begins, please risk your lives to become stronger!"
The nine pillars looked at each other, and said in unison, "We will do our best!"
Drake continued, "Considering that special circumstances may arise, the more available combat power the better. I have a few young people I’m optimistic about, and I can let them participate in the special training together."
Kagaya Ubuyashiki nodded and said, "No problem. I’ll arrange the venue and logistics!"
Drake said with a smile, "Then let’s work together to completely cut off the tragedy caused by demons!"
.....
Having experienced so many events in so many worlds, Drake had learned to prepare for unexpected events when considering things.
Drake of course had absolute confidence in soloing Muzan Kibutsuji, but the problem was that Drake couldn’t guarantee that there wouldn’t be any accidents.
So in advance, Drake would make all the preparations he could.
Since he was going to have a training camp, then he would bring all the people who were qualified to participate in the final battle in the original plot.
Of course, in addition to the few pillars, there were also the main character group of little ones. Drake immediately set off and decided to bring them all over.
Kanao Tsuyuri was Shinobu Kocho’s successor, so she would naturally participate in the training camp with Shinobu Kocho.
And Drake came to a barren mountain. Kagaya Ubuyashiki remembered all the mission reports of the swordsmen, so he naturally remembered that there was a swordsman on this mountain whose Nichirin Blade was snatched by a young man wearing a boar head and bare-chested.
"Boar Assault!"
Before Drake had to bother looking for him, the target appeared before Drake himself.
Inosuke Hashibira, a genuine "wild" young man, with amazing physical talent, and a genius who could create his own breathing technique.
"Hahahaha! I felt the scent of a beast from far away. You’re making my skin crawl! Let’s have a match!"
Saying this, Inosuke rushed up without caring whether Drake agreed or not.
Generally speaking, humans fought in an upright posture, so their center of gravity wouldn’t be too low. But Inosuke, who had been raised by beasts, charged over almost touching the ground like a four-legged beast.
This posture wasn’t actually suitable for fighting, and would seriously affect the use of various movements. But Inosuke’s movements were agile and smooth, which was truly amazing physical coordination.
Drake nodded in satisfaction, and then chopped the boar head with a hand knife.
Inosuke’s body swayed, about to fall down, and then spun around and flew up.
After Inosuke’s mind cleared up, he found that he had been sandwiched under someone’s arm, and immediately struggled desperately.
But Drake’s arm didn’t move at all. Even if Inosuke deliberately dislocated his joints, and his body was as soft as mud, he couldn’t escape.
"Damn it, why can’t I escape! Hey! What’s going on? Where are you taking this great me!"
Drake picked his ear with the little finger of his other hand and said, "Be quiet. I’m taking you to a good place where you can become stronger!"
Two streams of white air sprayed from the pig nose of the boar head and said, "Really? After this great me becomes stronger, I’ll definitely get revenge for what happened today!"
...
Drake’s next stop was the secluded residence of the former Thunder Pillar, Jigoro Kuwajima.
Drake and this little old man with a cane were sitting opposite each other, and kneeling behind Kuwajima Jigoro was his disciple, Kaigaku.
And another blond kid was pouring tea for the two of them with a teapot.
Kuwajima Jigoro said, "The specific details have already been explained in the letter from Lord Oyakata. So you, Mr. Drake, plan to have some talented young people participate in the training camp in order to increase the combat power of the final battle, is that right?"
Drake nodded and said, "That’s right, and this time I’ve come specifically to visit for the sake of the outstanding disciple you’ve cultivated."
Kaigaku behind Kuwajima Jigoro couldn’t help but straighten his body and puff out his chest. In Kaigaku’s view, the so-called talented young people referred to him. If not him, then who else could it be but that cowardly guy?
Just as Kaigaku was about to speak, Drake said, "Then I’ll take this child Zenitsu Agatsuma away!"
"Huh?"
"Eh?"
"Ah?"
The three made different exclamations, clearly not expecting that Drake wanted to take Zenitsu Agatsuma away.
Zenitsu Agatsuma, who was pouring tea, looked at Drake in surprise, not even noticing that the tea in his hand had overflowed.
Kuwajima Jigoro reacted quickly. Apart from his weaknesses in personality, Zenitsu Agatsuma did have extraordinary talent. He just didn’t expect that anyone other than himself would have discovered this.
Kaigaku’s expression changed from surprise to gloomy, and you could vaguely see a trace of resentment.
Drake also noticed this malice, and gave Kaigaku a meaningful look.
