Demon Slayer: Upper 0 seems to be a waste

Chapter 261 Ruins? Hell!

It's like a ruin...

The floor was tattered, the walls were full of scratches, several windows were broken, and even the pillars supporting the house were covered with marks. There were signs of damage everywhere, as if they had been scratched by some wild beast.

It should be said that the whole house looks like some huge beast has stayed here, and not just one. The whole room looks like two huge beasts met here, and then they started a desperate fight with neither of them willing to let the other go. Otherwise, how could the house be damaged to this extent? Although it is made of wood, at least it is real wood.

"Isn't there really a fight going on in there...? Like, a tiger, or a bear, or something...?"

His voice trembled with uncertainty, the rising chorus at the end expressing a sense of self-doubt. Even with such a bold guess that seemed to fit the scene before him, he didn't quite believe it. Was it a tiger? Or a bear? Would a bear come to a place like this? Would it mess up the house like this? Would training bring in a bear?!

This doesn't look like any trace that could be made by humans. It's definitely the result of an encounter between wild beasts. Every hole on the ground and wall panels can serve as strong evidence for this speculation.

Not only does it look like this, it's now a complete ruin!

"No... Even if it's a tiger or a bear, it shouldn't become like this... Haha..."

The other man who spoke had a laugh in his voice, but no one would feel at ease with such a weak laugh.

But no one felt it was easy. They had gone through countless hardships to finally get here. They were beaten by the Snake Pillar for who knows how many days before they were finally allowed to pass and go to the next training ground. But why did they see such a tragic scene as soon as they got here?

Is this the original training ground? It sounds more plausible to say it's a temporary abandoned house, right?

Although the house still retained its overall frame... they seemed to be able to vaguely hear the creaking sound of the wood shaking, as if the house would collapse completely in the next second.

"Ah... no. This place wasn't like this before today. It's because Wind Pillar and Rinkou fought here this morning, so it became like this..."

A team member who had just finished treating his wounds in the infirmary passed by and saw a few people standing blankly at the door of the abandoned hut. He walked up to them enthusiastically to explain.

"Is it, it was Wind Pillar-sama... and Rinkou-sama... who caused this? You must be joking..."

Unfortunately, the team member's explanation was not believed. The men who turned their heads stiffly to look at him had forced smiles on their faces and tried to make their tone as relaxed as if he was really joking, or at least hoped that he was really joking.

"Ah, I'm not joking, it's true. If you don't believe me, you can go to the courtyard over there and take a look. Master Wind Pillar's training hasn't finished yet. Since you guys are here, you can join in right away."

As the man said this, he naturally put his arm around the newcomer's shoulders and enthusiastically half-pushed and half-dragged them into the real training ground in the next yard.

What a joke, how could he let these newcomers escape the training that he himself hadn't escaped? It's only fair that everyone should share the suffering.

Although the arrival of Lord Rinkou in the morning gave everyone the first free time since arriving here, they not only had the opportunity to have a good rest, but also witnessed an extremely exciting battle. Although most people did not understand what was happening, it was at least good to be able to rest. As the house was gradually destroyed and sunlight gradually shone into the house, the battle became more intense. Many people were secretly discussing that they hoped that the new boy called Rinkou could consume the strength of the Wind Pillar so that he would have no strength to come over and fight them again.

But the good news ended there. It seemed that no one heard their prayers. With two crackling sounds, the two broken wooden swords flew out of the venue. The sunlight illuminated most areas of the venue because of the holes in the walls and windows, and the battle was forced to pause.

After that, they became the unlucky ones. What Lord Wind Pillar often said during training was that it was not enough, and that their attacks were not enough for him to warm up. But now, at the end of the battle, everyone could see that Lord Wind Pillar was in a very excited state after a thorough warm-up.

The forced suspension of training was not enough to cool him down, and it even made things worse. In order to maintain his condition, the victim went from waving his hand and saying "see you in the evening" to crawling into the box, and then Lord Rinkou refused to come out no matter how he called or kicked the box, to them watching the excitement in the field for a long time.

The Wind Pillar-sama, who had been warmed up, was absolutely terrifying to a degree never seen before.

"Don't worry, everyone is training, everything will be fine."

"No no no, your expression has changed!"

"It's okay. Even if something happens, you'll get treatment right away, so don't worry."

"That sounds even scarier, doesn't it?"

Rinkou admitted. The breaking of the wooden sword was intentional, because if it didn't break, there was no telling how long Busugawa would continue the fight. While the demon wouldn't tire, Rinkou didn't want to continue fighting him in such a dangerous place filled with fragmented sunlight. And for some reason, the longer the fight went on, the more Rinkou felt Busugawa's rage grow.

Although he really didn't understand why the other party was angry, he could at least see this.

Not knowing the reason or how to relieve it, Lin Guang simply chose a suitable opportunity to let the wooden sword break. Anyway, as long as the force used is strong enough, even an iron sword can be cut, let alone just wood.

Things were very simple after that. The broken wooden sword was a suitable signal to interrupt Busou's high spirits. Then, using the excuse that the house was full of sunlight and the venue was in a dilapidated state, he simply hid in the wooden box. No matter how Busou rambled on, Rinkou would just hug his arms, tilt his head, hum "good morning, see you in the evening", and then close his eyes and pretend to sleep.

He said he was sleepy, but in reality, he wasn't really that sleepy. Because of the constant training, Rinkou hadn't had the time or opportunity to see Shinobu. Before, after training, he'd meet strangers from the previous station and bring him some medicine in a bottle. But since he'd gone to Obanai's place, Rinkou hadn't taken his medicine in a while. Lately, he'd been more energetic than he'd been in a while.

Coming back to the present, Busei just stared at him briefly and muttered for a while, then kicked the box again to try to force him out, but there was a scorching sun outside the door, and of course Rinko would not fall for such a low-level trick, so he just stayed inside without saying a word, pretending to be deaf and dumb.

After struggling for a while, Shimi, who was standing aside, realized that it was meaningless to entangle with a kid who only kept saying that he had lived for hundreds of years, but actually looked like a child and was a child at heart. Therefore, he quickly shifted his target and instead targeted the team member who was standing in the yard and resting for a while.

Although he doesn't have any special abilities, at least with so many people around, he can still get some interest out of the situation.

This thought came into my mind, and my legs stepped on the broken floor. There was the creaking sound of the gate of hell opening, and the beast walked out of the ruins, bringing a new hell.
