Chapter 548: SFDI - 548
While training Tanjiro, Drake was also learning Sun Breathing.
With Drake’s level, he only needed to learn the sword forms and the most fundamental breathing method of Sun Breathing through fighting with Tanjiro.
The sword forms of Sun Breathing were one thing. It was a set of swordsmanship that specialized in attacking Muzan, and it wasn’t very practical for Drake.
The reason why Sun Breathing had thirteen forms was that the first twelve forms were to cut off Muzan’s five brains and seven hearts, and the thirteenth form would completely kill Muzan.
The problem was that Yoriichi Tsugikuni had completed the first twelve forms before meeting Muzan, and immediately completed the thirteenth form that he had been conceiving after meeting Muzan.
So it wasn’t without reason that Yoriichi Tsugikuni said that he came to this world to kill Muzan.
It was no wonder that Muzan had such a psychological shadow. No one could withstand such a strong man who targeted him everywhere, who was simply a natural enemy.
What was most important was the breathing method. Drake carefully observed the operation of Tanjiro’s various organs, and also grasped the most core part of the breathing method.
Mobilizing a large number of muscle groups in the body, cooperating with the joint operation of various organs, Drake completed his first breathing method operation.
And when operating the breathing method, Drake was surprised to find that what was inhaled into the body wasn’t just oxygen, but also natural magic power!
Natural magic power was a power that existed widely in various worlds. They were distributed in the natural environment of the world, existing in the form of energy particles or life force.
Of course, they might have other names in other worlds, but their essence was the same.
But for most humans, not to mention using this power, it wasn’t easy to even perceive it.
Magicians like Drake could only absorb natural magic power through magic organs like magic sources, and then mix it with the power of the soul and body, transform it into their own magic power, and then use it.
The reason was that natural magic power had strong assimilation and erosion properties. The human body couldn’t directly withstand the power of nature. Excessive erosion of natural magic power could really take people’s lives.
And the breathing technique could allow people to absorb a small amount of natural magic power. This was the root of its strengthening of the body.
The so-called marks should be the external manifestation caused by swordsmen absorbing a large amount of natural magic power.
Although powerful natural magic power would provide swordsmen with super strength, excessive erosion would also greatly shorten their lifespan.
This was the reason why all swordsmen with marks, except for Yoriichi Tsugikuni, didn’t live past twenty-five years old.
And Yoriichi Tsugikuni, who had innate marks, should be the kind of person who could perfectly integrate natural magic power, belonging to the kind of person that heaven was giving a cheat to.
Drake of course wouldn’t completely copy Sun Breathing, but would fine-tune it according to his own situation.
Other swordsmen used other breathing techniques that imitated Sun Breathing because they couldn’t withstand natural magic power like Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
But Drake was different. His current physique was completely different from ordinary humans.
The magic source of magicians originally had the ability to absorb natural magic power, and Drake’s world magic had frantically increased his immunity to the erosion of natural magic power.
So instead of other swordsmen degrading Sun Breathing, Drake was instead trying to increase the intensity of the breathing technique.
And even if Drake was experimenting with new breathing techniques, it wasn’t something that Tanjiro, who had just started training, could compare to. So the whole training was Drake beating up Tanjiro.
After it was completely dark, Drake carried Tanjiro, who couldn’t even move his little finger, back to his residence.
Hanako had prepared the bath water according to Drake’s instructions. Tanjiro, who had been stripped naked, was directly thrown into the bucket of water that Drake had put herbs in.
After a medicinal bath and a big meal, Tanjiro came back to life.
The next day, the group set off again. This time, they didn’t let Tanjiro pull the cart, but instead had him carry the box containing Nezuko on his back.
The previous day was because it was snowing so there was no sunlight. The next journey always had to consider the problem of Nezuko not being able to be exposed to sunlight.
The box was personally made by Drake, and had soft padding inside to ensure that Nezuko wouldn’t be too uncomfortable inside.
Today, the group’s goal was the mountain opposite Tanjiro’s home. After setting off early, Tanjiro also began a new round of physical training.
Running through the mountains and forests with the box on his back, Tanjiro’s nerves were tense. He couldn’t help but be tense, because....
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three rapid sounds of breaking through the air rang out, and Tanjiro suddenly stopped and leaned back, three pebbles grazed his body and shot into the snow, leaving three deep holes.
Then Tanjiro rolled again, dodging another pebble.
In addition to physical fitness, today’s training focused on training reaction speed.
It was important to know that the battle between humans and demons was absolutely unequal. In addition to the difference in physical fitness, the most crucial thing was that demons could heal quickly, while humans would be affected by injuries.
So reaction ability was particularly crucial. This was a crucial quality for fighting demons.
The stones that Drake threw were almost pressing on Tanjiro’s reaction limit, and it hurt like hell when they hit his body.
As long as Tanjiro’s pace was even a little slower, or his breathing was disordered, he would be hit. Relaxing his nerves even more meant he couldn’t dodge the stones that followed closely. By the time Tanjiro arrived at the next village, he was bruised all over.
And Drake and Stella closely followed behind Tanjiro, with Drake carrying a helpless Hanako Kamado under his arm.
However, compared to Tanjiro, who was panting after running all the way, the two weren’t red in the face or out of breath, looking relaxed.
Tanjiro took the potion that Drake handed over and drank it in one gulp, and the bruises on his face began to fade.
Drake put down Hanako Kamado and said to Tanjiro, "You guys go ask if there’s a place to stay. Something seems to have happened in this place. I’ll go take a look."
As soon as he entered this village, Drake could feel the fear from the surrounding villagers.
Given the situation in this world, it was likely to be something related to demons.
Drake had thought that the first demon he would encounter on his journey would be the temple demon, but he didn’t expect to encounter a man-eating demon before reaching Sagiri Mountain.
That’s right, Sagiri Mountain was indeed also a stop that Drake had planned. Because that was the residence of Sakonji Urokodaki, the former Water Pillar, who was now serving as a trainor.
Although Tanjiro knew Sun Breathing, his mastery of breathing techniques was too superficial. Drake still had many things he wanted to ask that experienced swordsman.
In addition, Drake also wanted to get in touch with the Demon Slayer Corps through him. Combining the information network of the Demon Slayer Corps that spanned the island country with the important information he already knew could greatly improve the efficiency of Drake’s journey, and also reduce the losses of the Demon Slayer Corps.
Drake hoped that those people in the Demon Slayer Corps could live happily in a world without demons.
This matter was originally supposed to be achieved through Giyu Tomioka, but the extent to which Giyu Tomioka was unable to communicate was unexpected.
However, before going to Sagiri Mountain, he still had to see what had happened here.
