Chapter 177: 177: Five Brains Seven Hearts Fusion In Progress
"Sir, please come with us." Three masked Demon Slayer Corps members appeared beside Yushiro. They wore the Corps’ distinctive uniform with a large hidden character on the back.
Clearly they were logistics personnel from headquarters.
"Lady Tamayo..."
Yushiro looked helplessly at Tamayo.
Tamayo nodded and spoke softly. "Go with them. Don’t worry about me."
"Understood, Lady Tamayo."
Yushiro dragged his heavy suitcases and followed them. Two of the members tried to help, but he refused.
"I can manage on my own. No need."
...
Soon, guided by the two girls, Ivan and the others arrived in front of a courtyard. The moment they stepped over the threshold, several gazes immediately turned toward Ivan.
"Flame Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku, Kanoe-ranked member Murata, and Ivan-san have arrived."
The white-haired girl had barely finished speaking when an out-of-place voice rang out.
"So you’re the one who killed Lower Rank Two? You don’t look like much."
The speaker had wild, spiky white hair that looked like a bunch of thorns. Three diagonal scars ran across his face. His uniform was open, exposing a web of old scars across his abdomen.
He wore a white haori with a large black character for "kill" on the back.
Wind Hashira · Sanemi Shinazugawa
"He didn’t just kill Lower Rank Two. Upper Rank Four Hantengu also died by his hand recently," Kyojuro Rengoku said calmly.
"What? Upper Rank Four is dead?"
Sanemi’s expression toward Ivan changed instantly.
"Alright, I take back what I said earlier. Rengoku, you’re sure he killed an Upper Rank?" As a Hashira, Sanemi knew exactly how strong the Upper Ranks were. Just wounding one would have been shocking enough. Actually killing one was on another level.
"Without a doubt!" Kyojuro nodded at everyone, confirming he wasn’t lying.
"That’s good news."
A massive, towering man with a horizontal scar across his forehead slowly spoke while pressing his palms together.
His eyes were pure white, as if he were blind. "Could you tell us what happened?"
The giant wore a brown kasaya over his Demon Slayer uniform with "Namu Amida Butsu" written on both sides. A string of prayer beads was wrapped around his wrist.
Stone Hashira · Gyomei Himejima
"Besides being pathetically weak, there’s nothing worth saying." Ivan kept part of his focus on the changes happening inside his body.
Six grape-sized hearts were currently forming within him.
His internal organs and flesh were slowly shifting position to make room for the new brains and hearts.
So that’s how it works.
Ivan’s mind sank deeper into the process. Under his deliberate acceleration, the fusion progress of the ability was jumping forward at an astonishing rate.
[Five Brains Seven Hearts fusion in progress. Current progress: 12... 18... 21...]
"Master Urokodaki said you had Hashira-level strength. Looks like he wasn’t exaggerating. You’re way stronger than the rest of us," said the girl beside him. She wore a snow-white haori over an open-chest uniform and purple short skirt, paired with green striped thigh-highs. She rested her chin on her hands and smiled as she spoke.
Her large eyes were light green with tear marks underneath. She had three long cherry-pink braids that faded to grass-green at the tips.
Love Hashira · Mitsuri Kanroji
"Have you decided on your title yet? I’m the Love Hashira, Mitsuri Kanroji. It’s nice to meet you." For some reason, Mitsuri’s face suddenly flushed red.
"Titles don’t really matter to me."
"Oh, and just a heads-up.. Muzan will probably launch a counterattack against the Demon Slayer Corps soon. You should all prepare yourselves."
Ivan closed his eyes and focused on constructing the hearts inside his body. The miniature hearts he had created earlier were coming in handy and saving him a lot of time.
"We formed the Demon Slayer Corps to kill him. Why would we be afraid of his revenge?" A cold voice came from a tree.
A man wearing a black-and-white striped haori with heterochromia — right eye gold, left eye green — was staring at the white snake wrapped around his arm.
The lower half of his face was covered by bandages. His black medium-length hair hung down like silk.
Snake Hashira · Obanai Iguro
"You’re not scared, are you? A coward with great power doesn’t deserve my respect."
"Gah! I won’t allow you to talk about Lord Ivan like that!"
Torataro looked a little scared of the white snake on Obanai’s arm, but it still stood on Murata’s shoulder, wings crossed. "None of you saw what happened when Lord Ivan chased Muzan. Muzan was so terrified he ran like a headless chicken. He probably used every ounce of strength he had. If Hantengu hadn’t shown up at the last second, you’d all be hearing about Muzan’s death right now."
"Chased Muzan? Rengoku, what exactly happened?" A muscular man with a headband covered in flashy jewels asked curiously.
He had red petal-like markings around his left eye and two Nichirin Blades strapped to his back, giving off a ninja vibe.
Sound Hashira · Tengen Uzui
"I only arrived after the fight was over, so I don’t know the full details. But what the crow said is probably true. This lady here knows more than I do."
Kyojuro stepped aside and introduced her. "Lady Tamayo was personally invited by the Master. She’s an honored guest. She specializes in medicine, knows a lot about demons, and once stayed by Muzan’s side for a while."
"Lady Tamayo, would you mind telling me about this flashy event?" Tengen asked with a smile.
Tamayo glanced at Ivan. After seeing his almost imperceptible nod, she spoke in her extremely gentle voice and gave everyone a brief summary of what had happened.
"You can actually remove the curse from Muzan’s blood? That’s incredible. But how did you solve the problem of needing to eat humans?"
Halfway through, Tengen couldn’t help asking.
"After treatment, Yushiro, Mukago, and I only need small amounts of blood to survive."
"Mhm." Mukago, who had learned on the way here that she could only drink blood from now on, looked completely unenthusiastic. She kept her head down and gave a small, listless nod.
"That’s an amazing achievement. Shinobu should have a lot to talk about with you."
"Exactly. I can’t wait to discuss things with you," Shinobu Kocho said with a bright smile.
Her long black hair was tied up in a bun with a light blue butterfly clip. The edges of the clip matched the deep purple color of her hair tips.
The haori draped over her shoulders was embroidered with butterfly wing patterns.
Because the haori had belonged to her late sister Kanae, it looked a little too big on her.
