Generally speaking, the seaside is very quiet at night, there is no messy noise, only the gentle sound of wind and the beautiful sound of waves.
It can be found on the Yasnaya Island in the East China Sea.
The sound of the wind was covered by the constant shrill screams, and the sound of the waves was forced back by the sonorous sound on the beach.
Muichiro Tokitou sometimes hid in the thick clouds of clouds, and sometimes showed up to perform powerful sword moves, confronting William's 'Yukizai' in tit-for-tat.
Each encounter produced a harsh friction sound and sparks that flickered on and off.
The two people moved quickly, collided, and fought fiercely back and forth in the white mist and steam. As time passed little by little, the sound of rough breathing in the field became obvious.
Tomioka Yoshiyuki, who was watching the battle from a distance, frowned because the rough breathing came from Muichiro Tokidou.
The breathing method itself is a technique that allows a person to absorb a large amount of oxygen in a short period of time, so that the body's physical ability can be greatly increased in an instant, and thus it can temporarily possess the physical ability of a 'ghost'.
Although 'Full Concentration·Always in' can greatly extend the duration of the increase, the more intense the battle, the shorter this duration will be.
The key lies in the word physical fitness!
The battle between the two sides has been going on for nearly two hours now, and Muichiro Tokitou is still underage, so he must be almost exhausted, right?
To be honest, his ability to persist for so long was all due to the invisibility effect of the 'Breath of Clouds'. If it had been his 'Breath of Water', he would probably have been defeated long ago.
It has to be said that both Tomioka Giyu and Tokitoru Muichiro during the battle have deeply realized the power of the natural system.
As for the endurance of the Starfish people, they have seen it many times.
Tomioka Yoshiyuki could see that at this time, even if he took action, it would be of no avail, because they had no means to hurt William, and they were physically exhausted.
but.
Because he was standing in the distance, although he could feel the heat wave hitting his face, but under the cool sea breeze, he did not realize how difficult Tokitoru Muichiro's real situation was at this moment.
In the field.
Muichiro Tokitou was already sweating profusely, and every time he breathed he felt the pain of swallowing fire.
It's like he's playing hide-and-seek with a 'steam man' in a hot sauna.
Even in order to have enough clouds to cover his body, he must often use sword moves to create new special effects. After all, the special effects of the breathing method last very short time.
This caused his body temperature to have already reached 38 degrees Celsius, and it was still on an upward trend, and his heartbeat was even faster, as if it was about to knock out of his chest.
It's not like Tokito Muichiro hasn't thought about moving his position so that he can feel better about the temperature.
But how could William not think of the things he could think of?
The latter relied on his jet speed and elementalization that ignored damage to frequently intercept Muichiro Tokitou who was trying to escape, limiting the combat range of both sides to the center of the field as much as possible.
William has already thought of the greatest value of these two outsiders.
But if you want to be at the top in the next cooperation, you must show your strength and potential, and then win this battle.
"Hoo-ho-ho-"
Muichiro Tokitoru was very tired and uncomfortable at the moment. Because of the heat, the environment and his body were very hot. It was so hot that his consciousness began to blur.
Although each swing of the sword swept away the surrounding steam and gave him a brief respite, he could already feel that the Nichirin sword in his hand was becoming extremely heavy.
This is a sign that your physical strength has reached its limit.
And the most despairing thing is that no matter what you do, you can't hurt the other person at all.
It has to be said that the ability of elementalization is indeed very abnormal and invincible at times, which also makes him more eager for armed domineering.
At the same time, I made up my mind that if I had a chance to go back alive, I would definitely get a Nichirin sword mixed with sea floor stone!
Muichiro Tokitoru's thinking has begun to diverge.
But his body obeyed his instinct and subconscious mind, selflessly maintaining a high-intensity battle with William, as if he had forgotten the fatigue and pain.
This talented boy who was only fifteen years old this year, even one year younger than Kamado Tanjiro and the others, had a new memory appear inexplicably in his mind.
This person is...brother?
In the dilapidated thatched house, the brother lying in a pool of blood was obviously dying, but he stared at himself and uttered each word in a weak voice.
"What I know...Muichiro's Wu is infinite...it is a 'wu' that can exert unlimited power to protect others."
Just this sentence made Tokitoru Muichiro think of every moment he had with Ichiro's brother.
at the same time.
It also allowed the indifferent expression of the 'outside world' to gradually 'thaw', gaining a bit of a softer temperament, and then new memories and pictures appeared.
This time it’s...father?
It should be something from earlier than the previous memories. At that time, I was even younger than now. I was lying on my father's lap, and the surrounding environment was very dull and white.
His mother and brother were also surrounding him with smiles on their faces.
"Dad, mom..."
"Well, we have all seen that you work very hard, Muichiro."
Father stroked his face and smiled softly: "Muichiro, you must remember that people are creatures who will burst out extraordinary power for others besides themselves~"
"No matter when, you must protect others to make yourself stronger, remember?"
"remember!"
At this time, William was surprised to find that a gentle smile had appeared on Muichiro Tokitoru's face, and his left forehead and right cheek had a blue texture of floating clouds.
"This is......"
The next second, Tokidou Muichiro's eyes that were still somewhat divergent suddenly became sharp, and with a movement of his body, he turned into an afterimage and rushed out of the area covered by steam.
Its speed was so fast that William had no time to intercept it, and then plunged into the sparkling cold water, which made the former can only give up the idea of pursuing it.
"That is......"
Tomioka Giyu in the distance was also surprised. Muichiro Tokidou was too fast and he didn't see clearly.
【boom!】
Suddenly, a rising wave column burst out from the sea, and there seemed to be a silhouette of a figure in the lake.
"The breath of water, the shape of land, twisting the vortex!"
Tokitoru Muichiro actually used the "Breath of Water" sword move in the sea, and even used the sword wind of "Breath of Water" to wrap up a large amount of water waves in the sea.
It turned into a 'waterspout' with a height of more than ten meters, and the swirling water was as sharp as a knife, and it spewed towards William.
In fact, every 'Pillar' has practiced 'Water Breathing' to a greater or lesser extent.
Because this is the most suitable breathing method for beginners, since the emergence of breathing method, the Demon Slayer Squad has never had a "water column" vacancy.
Tokitoru Muichiro thought that if enough sea water could submerge the esper, it would temporarily deprive the esper of his powers, and then he could seize the opportunity to kill him with one blow!
However, his physical strength is only enough to support this blow...
opposite.
When William faced such a large size of 'Hai Dun', his first thought was not to confront it head-on, but to use steam jets to dodge.
But just as he was moving at high speed over the right side, he was shocked to find that the 'waterspout' had predicted his movement and 'collided' towards this side as if by coincidence.
At the same time, Muichiro Tokitoru's voice sounded softly in William's ears accompanied by the moonlight.
"It's useless, I have already 'seen' everything about you..."
