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

Chapter 162 My Beautiful Dream

The air seemed to freeze the moment the two forces closed in.

Nightmare curled up among the remaining chunks of flesh on the front of the car, her pale face contorted in extreme pain, her morbid pleasure completely replaced by despair.

He looked at Tanjiro and Inosuke standing on the roof of the carriage with their swords drawn, and then at Nezuko and Kyojuro Rengoku with determined eyes at the entrance of the carriage. The encirclement formed by the five of them left him with no way to escape.

Meanwhile, the three Lower Moon demons, slumped on the ground, were deathly pale, their demonic energy so chaotic it was on the verge of collapse.

But in dire circumstances, the madness of evil spirits is far more terrifying than imagined.

Lower Moon Two suddenly raised its head, its scarlet eyes bulging, and its ghostly aura surged out of control, letting out a mournful roar.

"Since we can't escape... then we'll take everyone on this train with us! Nobody will survive!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lower Moon Three and Lower Moon Four roared in response. The three Lower Moons went completely mad in their desperate situation, unleashing all of their Blood Demon Arts without regard for anything else.

Dark blood mist gushed wildly from their bodies.

Some transformed into sharp, blood-red thorns.

Some transformed into entwined blood vines.

Some turned into a corrosive blood mist.

It swept across the surroundings indiscriminately, targeting the hundreds of sleeping passengers inside the carriage.

At the same time, Nightmare let out a final, frantic roar.

"Since you insist on ruining my beautiful dream... then let us all sink into eternal slumber!"

He suddenly spread his arms wide, and the chunks of flesh that had become one with the train began to violently churn.

Originally targeting only the tentacles and eyeballs of the Demon Slayer Corps, it has now completely lost control and begun to indiscriminately attack all living things.

Thick, blood-red tentacles lashed wildly across the carriage, while countless eyeballs released even stronger hypnotic waves.

Even the sleeping passengers began to show signs of pain, and the entire Infinite Train instantly turned into a chaotic killing field.

"Oh no! They're going to attack the passengers!"

Tanjiro's expression changed drastically. He immediately gripped his Nichirin Blade tightly, and flames danced violently around his body.

"These bastards! They actually attacked ordinary people!"

With his twin swords drawn, Inosuke knew that the safety of the passengers was the top priority.

Nezuko stood beside Kyojuro, her sword surrounded by a rainbow of light, her eyes fixed on the out-of-control tentacles lunging at the passengers, her heart filled with the same anxiety.

The train carries hundreds of lives; if it were touched, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Zenitsu, who had been sleeping soundly to the side, was momentarily awakened by the violent tremors and roars, but immediately fell back asleep.

Yet his body instinctively assumed a fighting stance, with the aura of Thunder Breathing subtly flowing through him.

He was still not fully awake and could only instinctively protect the nearest passenger.

Kyojuro Rengoku stood in the center of the crowd, flames steadily spreading around him, instantly blocking several ferocious tentacles that attacked. His cheerful voice was now as steady as a bell, clearly reaching everyone's ears, issuing the clearest instructions.

"Listen up, everyone! Protecting the passengers is our top priority right now! We cannot allow any civilian to get hurt!"

"yes!"

Tanjiro, Nezuko, and Inosuke responded simultaneously without the slightest hesitation.

Kyojuro cleaved the attacking blood vines with a single slash, and flames swept across the area, blocking all the Blood Demon Art that approached the carriage. He then quickly ordered the distribution of resources.

"Inosuke, you're in charge of the left-hand carriage. Sever all the tentacles as quickly as possible and hold the first three carriages!"

"Leave it to me!"

Inosuke leaped into the air, his twin swords flashing wildly, unleashing a series of Beast Breathing attacks. Like a mad beast, he charged into the left-hand carriage, shattering tentacles and blood spikes wherever his blades passed.

"Zenitsu... well, let him stay like this!"

Kyojuro glanced at Zenitsu, who was still swinging his sword with his eyes closed, and immediately made a judgment.

"I'll guard the right side of the carriage and the rear, stopping the three Lower Moon Blood Demons and preventing them from getting even a step closer to the passengers!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kyojuro flashed forward, unleashing his Flame Breathing technique, which created a wall of fire on the right side of the carriage, as fierce as the sun.

It forcefully blocked the three lower moons' frenzied attacks outside the wall, and no matter how the blood mist and blood spikes attacked, they could not break through even a little.

In an instant, the five formed a perfect protective formation.

Inosuke unleashed a furious attack on the left flank, Zenitsu defended the middle, and Kyojuro blocked the enemy on the right. The three of them formed an impregnable barrier, firmly keeping all the demons' attacks out of the passengers' reach.

Blades, flames, and lightning exploded continuously inside the carriage.

Every swing of the sword is for protection.

Every outbreak was a fight for survival, yet amidst the chaos, order prevailed, and no one retreated an inch.

Tanjiro stood on the roof of the car, his nose twitching wildly, his enhanced sense of smell from his demon form locking onto Enmu's scent.

He turned to look at Mi Douzi at the carriage entrance. The two siblings' eyes met, and they understood each other's feelings without needing to say a word.

As Kyojuro swung his sword to block Lower Moon Two's sudden attack, he shouted loudly towards the roof of the carriage.

"Kamado Tanjiro! Nezuko!"

Tanjiro immediately responded, "Mr. Rengoku, I'm here!"

"You killed the demon controlling the train. Only by killing him can you stop all the tentacles from attacking!"

Kyojuro's voice boomed, piercing through the chaotic battlefield.

Tanjiro nodded emphatically; he understood what Kyojuro meant.

The responsibility of saving lives has now been entrusted to Kyojuro, Inosuke, and Zenitsu.

The two of them must resolve the nightmare as quickly as possible and stop the disaster at its root.

"clear!"

Tanjiro responded loudly, and flames around his body suddenly surged.

"Um!"

Nezuko nodded slightly, and a rainbow of light shone brightly along the Nichirin Blade, ready for a surprise attack.

With the division of labor settled, no one hesitated for a second.

Kyojuro turned and charged toward the three Lower Moons, unleashing the fourth form of Flame Breathing: Raging Flame. Flames coiled around the three Lower Moons like long snakes, holding them firmly in place and preventing them from breaking through his defenses.

Inosuke fought with increasing ferocity in the left carriage, unleashing Beast Breathing Eight Fangs: Crushing Slash in succession.

It crushed all the tentacles that lunged at the passengers.

Zenitsu kept his eyes closed, and Thunder Breathing, First Form: Thunderclap Flash kept flashing.

Each flash severed a deadly tentacle, silently protecting all the passengers in the central aisle.

Tanjiro leaned down to look below the front of the car, confirming the location with the tip of his nose, and said to Nezuko in a deep voice.

"Nee beans...!"

"Okay, brother."

Mizuko responded softly, taking light steps as she slowly approached the location of Nightmare. The aura of Rainbow Breath steadily condensed, waiting for the perfect moment.

As Nightmare watched the brother and sister approach step by step, and then looked at the three Lower Moons who were being held back, she felt a mixture of madness and extreme fear.

He kept sending more tentacles to attack, trying to stop Tanjiro and Nezuko.

However, as soon as those tentacles got close, they were easily shattered by Tanjiro's flames and Nezuko's rainbow light, and could not form any obstacle at all.

"Impossible... You can't beat me... This is my train... My dream..."

Nightmare murmured to herself, her voice trembling with despair.
