Demon Slayer: Tanjiro becomes a ghost, Nezuko becomes a pillar!

Chapter 159 Convergence

The illusory snow mountain shattered completely into countless points of light, and the pain of the blade cutting into flesh suddenly dissipated. Midouzi still kept her eyes tightly closed, but the tense muscles in her body slowly relaxed at this moment.

She didn't open her eyes immediately, but a remarkably clear sound flooded into her ears first—

The roar of the Infinite Train as it sped through the night was deafening, the clatter of its wheels on the rails rhythmic and clear.

There were also sounds of fighting that were getting closer and closer from the depths of the carriages in the distance.

Everything was telling her that she had finally broken free from the deepest part of the nightmare and returned to reality.

The wind carried a faint fishy smell from inside the carriage, brushing against my cheeks, and I could feel the hard texture of the train's metal floor beneath me.

It is no longer the cold, accumulated snow in a dream.

Midouzi took a deep breath, preparing to slowly open her eyes to check her location.

But just as her eyelids twitched slightly, about to open,

Suddenly, the dark flesh around her began to writhe wildly, and countless eerie eyes, each engraved with the character "壹" (one), burst open from the flesh and surged toward her in a dense mass.

Hundreds of eyes were fixed on her, and as soon as their gazes met, she would fall into an endless dream once again.

But just as those eyes were about to meet Mizuko's gaze at the critical moment...

Ten dazzling yellow lightning bolts suddenly tore through the air from the side, moving so fast that only a series of afterimages remained.

The lightning, imbued with the sharp aura of the Breath of Thunder, struck with unparalleled precision at the surging eyes.

"Swish—swish—swish—"

Ten crisp, clean sounds rang out in succession, instantly shattering all the approaching eyes. Dark fragments of flesh and blood, along with tiny eyeball debris, flew everywhere, and the eerie, hypnotic aura vanished in an instant.

Ni Douzi was slightly taken aback, before she could react.

A figure moved with lightning speed, appearing precisely in front of her with eyes closed, and steadily protecting her behind him.

"I'll protect Midouzi!"

Zenitsu's voice was clear and firm, his blond hair was ruffled by the airflow, and even with his eyes closed, he could not hide the reliable aura emanating from his body.

Midouzi stared blankly at the boy standing in front of her. All the grievances and exhaustion from struggling through the dream surged into her heart at this moment. Her eyes were slightly hot, and a faint soreness rose in her nose.

Being protected by your companions in the most dangerous moment is a warmth that touches the heart more than any words.

"Thank goodness... I'm so glad to see you, Zenitsu!"

Midouzi spoke softly, her tone filled with the joy and relief of having regained what she had lost.

But as soon as she finished speaking, the scene before her eyes stunned her instantly—

Just moments ago, Zenitsu was full of vigor and firmly protecting her. He bent his knees and squatted down on the ground, nodding his head and falling asleep on the spot. A small bubble slowly rose from the tip of his nose and swayed gently with his breathing. His fierce appearance just now was completely gone.

Seeing this starkly contrasting scene, Midouzi first stood there dumbfounded, then couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth and chuckle softly.

The tension that had been building up over the past few days was completely released in this scene.

This is the real Zenitsu: timid and prone to crying on ordinary days, but capable of unleashing astonishing power in crucial moments, giving people a sense of security.

But this ease didn't last long.

The next second, a scorching and domineering aura of fire suddenly approached, accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound and the demon's painful groan.

A tall figure with his eyes closed, wielding a flaming Nichirin Blade, forced the three disheveled ghost figures into the carriage area.

"Mr. Purgatory!"

Mi Douzi immediately stopped laughing, exclaimed in surprise, her voice full of delight.

She hadn't expected that Kyojuro had fought his way here and was now suppressing the remaining three Lower Moons.

Although Rengoku Kyojuro had his eyes closed, his hearing was far beyond that of ordinary people, and he immediately recognized Nezuko's voice.

His tense expression instantly relaxed, a signature cheerful smile appeared on his face, and he asked with concern in a loud and warm voice in the direction of Midouzi.

"Oh! It's Zao Men Mi Dou Zi! Are you alright? Were you hurt by any evil spirits?"

"I'm fine, Mr. Purgatory, I'm not hurt at all!"

Midouzi immediately responded, her heart filled with warmth.

Even with his eyes closed, even while fighting three Lower Moons, Kyojuro's first concern was still for her safety, and this reliability made her feel incredibly at ease.

As she spoke, Nezuko's gaze fell on Lower Moon Two, Lower Moon Three, and Lower Moon Four, who were cornered by Kyojuro and looked utterly disheveled.

The three lower moons' arms were severed and regenerated, their bodies covered in burn marks, and their demonic energy was chaotic.

The initial arrogance and ruthlessness are long gone, leaving only a suppressed and flustered state.

Nezuko's eyes sharpened, and without the slightest hesitation, she immediately gripped her Nichirin Blade, slowly drawing it from its sheath. Rainbow light gently swirled around the blade as she prepared for battle.

She knew that at this moment, Nightmare's eyes had been shattered by Zenitsu, and there would be no longer any threat of hypnosis.

Kyojuro, who had been fighting with his eyes closed, was already at a disadvantage.

"Mr. Rengoku, you can open your eyes now! Zenitsu has shattered all the eyes here, so there's no longer any threat of hypnosis!"

Mizuko immediately shouted a reminder to Kyojuro.

Upon hearing this, Kyojuro was overjoyed and, without the slightest hesitation, slowly opened his bright, sun-like eyes.

The moment his vision returned, the fiery aura around him surged once more, and his sharp gaze swept across the surroundings.

As expected, there were no eerie eyes of the Nightmare, only scattered remnants of severed flesh and blood.

The three Lower Moon demons opposite him turned deathly pale the moment they saw Kyojuro open his eyes, and a deep fear involuntarily appeared in their eyes.

With his eyes closed, Kyojuro had already beaten them so badly that they were powerless to fight back.

Now that they have regained their sight, their strength will only increase, and they have absolutely no chance of winning.

Lower Moon Two gritted his teeth, his expression a mixture of panic and anger, and couldn't help but mutter curses under his breath.

"What's wrong with Nightmare? Wasn't it supposed to be able to trap everyone? How come even hypnosis isn't working?!"

Lower Moon Three and Lower Moon Four also looked grim, staring intently at Kyojuro and Mizuko, but dared not approach easily. They could only cower in the corner, waiting for Enmu's support.

Just as the three lower moons were in a state of panic, a deafening roar suddenly came from the top of the train.

Like a thunderclap, the entire Infinite Train shook violently, and the dark flesh and blood churned and twisted wildly.

It was as if some powerful force erupted from the roof of the car, causing even the chunks of flesh inside the car to begin to contract and burst.

The deafening roar carried the aura of scorching flames and a savage, untamed power.

That was Tanjiro and Inosuke engaging in their final battle with Enmu on the roof of the train. The force of their clash was so great that the entire train shook violently.

"What happened?"

Xiaxian Er looked up at the roof of the car and exclaimed in surprise.

However, Nezuko sensed her brother's efforts, and after calming herself down, she slowly raised her Nichirin Blade and aimed it at the three Lower Moons.

"Rainbow Breathing, Third Form: Rainbow Fall!"
