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

Chapter 20 The Immortal Monk Ghost

A dull, loud thud rang out, and the monk ghost's head was smashed to pieces in half.

The remaining half of the head was tilted back, and the only remaining scarlet eyeball had become dull and lifeless.

Tanjiro's headbutt was so powerful that even the ground beneath their feet kicked up dust.

Meanwhile, taking advantage of the moment when the crawling ghost was not yet recovered, Midouzi raised his axe and cleaved open the crawling ghost's leg bone, causing blood to gush out instantly.

The crawling ghost let out a piercing scream, yet it continued to struggle.

With gritted teeth and without hesitation, Midouzi raised the axe and chopped down again, aiming a vicious blow at its other leg.

After seeing that she had dismembered a ghost, Midouzi still staggered back two steps, panting heavily.

Despite feeling a strong sense of unease, she looked away and ran towards Tanjiro, wanting to help her brother fight the monk demon.

However, the moment she turned around, Nezuko saw Tanjiro's situation and stopped in her tracks.

Then he tilted his head blankly, looking at the strange and unexpected scene.

"Huh?"

Midouzi never expected that her brother would be so powerful.

But she suppressed her doubts and quickly stepped forward to grab Tanjiro's arm.

"elder brother……"

Nezuko held onto Tanjiro's arm and called out softly.

Tanjiro ignored Nezuko, his hands still gripping the monk demon's arm tightly, his face showing excitement as he looked at the wound on half of the monk demon's head.

Seeing that her brother didn't react, Mizuko dropped the axe with her other hand and grabbed Tanjiro's arm with both hands.

"Brother, let go first, let's get out of here, they..."

Just as Mizuko was about to say that they would regenerate, the monk-demon's last remaining eye began to slowly gather consciousness.

"Hmm~"

A groan came from the mouth of the monk ghost.

When Ni Douzi heard this noise, he was startled.

[Oh no, the monk ghost is about to awaken.]

"Brother, let's go quickly!"

Nezuko pulled at Tanjiro almost anxiously.

However, Tanjiro's body has now grown larger, and his strength is astonishing.

No matter how much Nezuko pulled, Tanjiro remained unmoved.

However, Tanjiro did not have any intention of attacking Nezuko; he simply stared intently at the monk demon.

Just as Midouzi continued to pull hard, the monk ghost regained consciousness, and the half of his head that had been tilted back slowly straightened.

The smashed skull began to visibly regenerate.

Seeing this, Nezuko was about to increase her strength to pull Tanjiro away when...

Tanjiro, however, reached out with his other hand and grabbed the head of the monk demon.

Then, to Nezuko's astonishment, Tanjiro ripped off half of the monk demon's head with a powerful effort.

Nezuko was startled by what she saw, and then looked at Tanjiro.

"Brother, that's enough! Let go!"

Nizuko rushed forward anxiously, grabbing Tanjiro's arm tightly with both hands, calling out his name over and over again, tears welling up in her eyes and rolling down her cheeks.

She was terrified, afraid that her brother would be completely consumed by the ghost and never be able to return to his original form.

The chaos that Tanjiro had been filled with violent emotions gradually became clearer with Nezuko's urgent calls.

His demonic transformation gave him the instinct to eliminate all dangers that could harm Nezuko.

Now that the monk-ghost has been severely injured and its threat is decreasing, its frenzied bloodlust is slowly fading and its consciousness is gradually returning.

The calls of "brother" grew clearer and clearer in his ears, the tearful voice like a gentle thread, tightly pulling at his remaining sanity.

Tanjiro slowly turned his head, his gaze falling on Nezuko's tear-streaked face. As he watched her grip his arm tightly, the violence and madness in his eyes gradually faded.

He instinctively released his grip, letting the slowly healing half of the head fall to the ground.

He then raised his blood-stained hand and carefully wiped away the tears on Mi Douzi's face.

"Um……"

Tanjiro responded softly.

His originally blood-red and ferocious pupils gradually regained some clarity, and his gaze softened little by little.

Nezuko felt Tanjiro's touch, and her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally relaxed.

"Brother, I'm so glad you're alright!"

Tanjiro nodded slowly, and the marks of his demonic transformation gradually faded from his body.

Before long, Tanjiro returned to his original size.

When Nezuko saw Tanjiro return to normal, her tense nerves and anxious heart finally relaxed.

However, when Nezuko looked at the monk demon, her previously relaxed heart tightened again.

Because at this moment, the headless body of the monk ghost was still standing steadily.

The wound on his neck had healed, and he slashed at Tanjiro's back with his hand blade once more.

Startled, Mizuko didn't have time to think and immediately tackled Tanjiro to the ground.

The monk-demon's hand chops only grazed the hair of the Bean-shaped hair before falling.

After dodging the attack, Tanjiro and Nezuko both looked warily at the body of the monk demon. They never expected that even without a head, the body could still move.

Then Nezuko quickly looked at the head that Tanjiro had torn off.

The head had been restored to its original state, but it was still just a head staring at them menacingly.

"How is that possible? Why can they still move even without heads? Are they immortal?"

At this moment, Midouzi was filled with shock and questions.

Tanjiro stared intently at the body of the monk demon, then looked at its head.

"You think you can kill me? Once I get my head back, I'll tear you to pieces!"

After the monk-ghost's head uttered those words.

Midouzi instantly grasped a crucial piece of information: [The head can't grow back; it can only be reattached?]

After realizing this, Nezuko quickly turned to look at Tanjiro.

"Brother, I'll go hold him up, you take care of that..."

However, before Nezuko could finish speaking, Tanjiro pounced on her, pinning the monk demon to the ground and holding him down firmly.

Midouzi was somewhat dazed, then gave a wry smile.

Brother, you'll always be like this, shouldering the most dangerous and heaviest burdens.

After reciting these words, Midouzi did not hesitate. He instantly took out the remaining black cloth from his waist and quickly went to the head of the monk ghost.

"Little girl, what do you think you're doing? You think I'm going to take you away right now...?"

The monk ghost's head was still uttering harsh words.

But Midouzi didn't give him a chance to continue, and wrapped his head in a black cloth.

Just as Mizuko had thought, after the black cloth covered his head, the monk demon's body was now waving around aimlessly as if it had lost its target.

Seeing this, Tanjiro quickly retreated back to Nezuko's side.

Midouzi was glad that he had guessed correctly, but soon he was in trouble again.

"What should we do with this head?"

Tanjiro looked at the head wrapped in black cloth in Nezuko's arms with a puzzled expression, but the next second, a smell entered his nostrils.

At that moment, Midouzi also sensed that there seemed to be someone outside the temple.

The next second, a steady and deep voice sounded behind them.

"Just smash this head..."
