What? A Group Chat? Chapter 15: Unexpected Help
🕑 Added 2022-03-02 22:39:02 +0000 UTC(-Archer-)
Archer was stealthily following the Kocho sisters after they got out of the restaurant, now that he wasn't restricted by the system of a holy grail as an Archer Class, he had his Presence Concealment A+ no ordinary human could detect him with this skill.
So Archer didn't have any fear of being discovered because he would only be seen if he wanted to, it's impossible for humans such as Shinobu and Kanae to detect him.
While following them, he was a bit impressed by their speed for a human as far as he could tell, they didn't use any reinforcement because he couldn't feel any prana in their body so basically they move as fast as that without using magecraft!
But overall it wasn't that surprising, he had seen plenty of things that this isn't even worth mentioning.
Living a long life has its perks.
Archer noticed that they stopped their tracks.
"Onee-san we are here."
"Indeed we are." Both Shinobu and Kanae looked at the temple in front of them.
From its appearance, it was abandoned for quite some time. Even an ordinary human could tell that there is something off about this temple after all it looks like a place out of a horror movie!
Plus Archer could smell blood, lots of it definitely suspicious, then the Kocho sisters walked inside the temple.
From what could Archer see in their body language, they are fully alert to their surroundings, ready to draw their blade with the slightest disturbance.
If they were ordinary girls, they would have been shivering the whole time, but they weren't. They were clearly used to something like this.
All of sudden a blur launched toward their direction, its speed was inhumane and Archer's first reaction was to shoot it but, he stopped himself as the eldest of the Kocho, drew her blade, and blocked the incoming attack of the suspected demon with ease.
Klang!
As if two metals clashed together, then the demon's appearance was shown. It has very pale skin, frog-like eyes, teeth with two fangs on both sides, and long grey hair.
Its height was at least 5ft tall, it was a female demon standing right in front of the Kocho sisters.
Archer on the other hand was a bit surprised by the demon's appearance, he expected them to look hideous but this demon woman looked human to him.
The demon reminded him of dead apostles back in his world, they don't seem much different from each other.
The Demon opened its mouth. "Greetings, how is your night?"
There is no real reason why they would answer a demon, but Kanae was polite to anyone, "It's good, how about you?"
"Onee-san! You shouldn't pointlessly talk to a demon!" Shinobu can't believe what is happening, they are talking like nothing happened!
"Shinobu-chan, even if she's a demon you shouldn't be rude. It's bad manners to ignore a person." Kanae said gently.
"Onee-san! That isn't a person! That's a man-eating monster!"
"Woman-eating monster." The demon corrected her.
"Shut your mouth!" Shinobu rudely spoke to the demon.
Archer was amused at the sight, they were supposed to be enemies now they are talking like they aren't, it reminds him of Rin.
Fun times.
The demon ignored Shinobu and replied to Kanae, "It's amazing! I got to devour a group of humans and one of them has rare blood! It's my lucky day!"
Smiling as if nothing is wrong with her sentence, hearing that Shinobu gritted her teeth and exclaimed. "I'm going to skewer you demon!"
Shinobu was angry at what the demon said, another group of innocent lives was lost because of demons! She can't forgive them!
She used her self-made breathing technique, she created it for her lack of physical strength, it was derived from her big sister Flower Breathing, however, it is still incomplete.
She had yet a name for it, and her strength was still far off from the canon, as she is as strong as Tanjiro in the early episodes.
She thrusts her modified Nichirin blade toward the demon and the demon dodged it easily and it countered with a kick, before it could hit Shinobu's abdomen, she blocked it with her Nichirin blade due to the force behind that kick Shinobu was knocked a few meters away from the demon.
"Gek!" Shinobu quickly balanced herself, as she landed on the ground.
From their exchange alone, she could tell that this female demon is a league above her own!
As frustrated as she is, with her current abilities she won't be able to behead this demon! She cursed her lack of physical strength!
"Shinobu-chan! Are you okay? You have to be careful, don't let your emotions get over you, that demon is strong so leave this to your sister okay?" Kanae said with concern.
This was the reason why she was sent, a Hashira instead of some other Demon Slayers because this demon is close to a Lower Moon demon!
She was tasked to handle this, not her sister. "I'm sorry, but I have to eliminate you because if I don't you're going to prey on other victims!"
The female demon just smiled and replied. "Go ahead, if you can!"
The demon attacked her with a speed faster than before! Yet Kanae countered them with ease and one of her attacks managed to cut the right arm of the female demon, as she was about to continue all of sudden the blood of the demon turned into a lot of bloody spikes and shots toward her body.
Kanae instantly countered each spike, her movement was faster than before, she was now serious.
'So this is her blood demon art…. turning her blood into spikes? No, I think it's turning her blood into a solid object!' Kanae thought and she guess was spot on
The rest of the demon's blood turned into a 2-meter sword, as the demon's arms already regenerated, she used both of her hands to use the blood sword and consecutively strikes Kanae!
A few meters away from the fight, Archer was studying the demon's unique ability to turn its blood into a solid object, this wasn't the first time he saw such an ability, while he's familiar with this ability he still has to be careful.
Because it's a bit tricky to deal with, then he muttered. "So this is what a blood demon art..? Blood art indeed."
He continued watching the fight between the female demon and demon slayer.
---
Kanae was having a hard time slaying the female demon, her demon art is tricky to deal with, every time she tries to aim for the neck, the demon creates a blood spike to stop her from doing so!
'I should end this…' Kanae took a deep breath and exhaled.
"Second Form: Honorable Shadow Plum!" Kanae releases several rotating sword slashes and deflects the incoming blood spikes!
Kanae didn't just stop there, "Breath Of The Flower Fourth Form: Crimson Hanagoromo!"
She unleashes a single sword slash that curves and twists gracefully, and it was the finisher, the female demon couldn't counter it due to how fast Kanae's Nichirin blade hit her neck and ultimately beheading the female demon.
Slowly, Kanae put her blade back to its sheath then she said. "Hope you can be happy in the afterlife."
She bowed a little, as the female demon slowly turned into ashes.
As she turned around, her eyes widened as she saw another demon at the same level as the other one, attacking her sister. She quickly moves to deflect that demon attack because she knows that her sister Shinobu couldn't block it!
But even with her fastest, she couldn't reach it on time, she cried in her mind, 'No! Shinobu!'
Her mind visualizes a dead Shinobu, however, it didn't happen as a dagger hits the demon head making it explode in the process!
Both the Kocho sisters were stunned at the unexpected event. A few moments later Kanae realized that the demon was still moving, and immediately she didn't hesitate to end the demon.
After the deed, she couldn't help but sigh in relief, then she stared in a certain direction, if it wasn't for their unknown helper she knew that her sister Shinobu would have died, so she was extremely grateful toward the person who gave them aid.
"Whoever you are, thank you for helping us! You have my gratitude for saving my sister!" Kanae bowed deeply, she was grateful for the person who gave them aid, without them her sister... would have died.
A full minute of silence before the other party replied. "Next time be careful, you shouldn't be careless."
It was a man, judging from his voice he's between 18 to 30.
"I'll keep it in mind! Um, will you show yourself?" Kanae was curious about her sister's savior look.
"No, you're lucky that I'm near there won't be next time goodbye."
"Wait!" However, she was too late as he was gone.
She stared in front of her for a moment before saying. "Who is he? I wonder...I have a feeling that this won't be the last time we'll meet...next time I'll properly thank you!"
Kanae smiled charmingly, for the first time she got curious about a man, she wondered what he would look like? Or his personality?
Aside from that, it was time for them to go back.

Archer suddenly felt dread for no apparent reason, "What the..?"
