This sword appeared plain and unremarkable, without any discernible technique.
But the moment the blade fell, Doma, who had originally been retreating, suddenly stopped and then rushed straight toward Victor.
Throughout this charge, yellow liquid continued to spray from his body, the wet sounds creating a rhythmic symphony of humiliation.
Seeing this, the confused Kanae sensed something was wrong: "Oh no! Mr. Victor, be careful!"
What a cunning Upper Rank! He had actually made a feint, appearing to retreat but intending to counterattack when his opponent least expected it!
To increase his speed, he was even making use of the slight propulsion generated by his... unfortunate condition!
He truly would use any means necessary!
Shinobu, standing to the side, remained calm.
She had already guessed what was about to happen next.
As expected.
Under Kanae's worried gaze, Doma dropped to his knees and slid toward Victor, leaving a trail more than ten meters long carved into the ground.
"What's happening to me?"
Looking at the Nichirin Blade drawing closer and closer, Doma could practically feel death approaching.
Was he going to die here?
At that moment, Doma suddenly raised his hands high, and with a sharp clap, he caught the falling Nichirin Blade with his bare hands.
Kanae: (⊙_⊙)?
Doma: What the hell is happening to me?!
Shinobu: (￣△￣;)
For a moment, the air seemed to freeze as everyone stared in shock. Only the continuous wet sounds echoed in everyone's ears.
[Ding! Your actions were too abstract—you gained 500 Abstract Points!]
The system's voice sounded in his mind, but Victor barely paid attention.
He frowned and covered his nose with one hand.
"It stinks!"
Although his abilities were incredibly powerful, they were also genuinely disgusting.
While Doma was completely bewildered by the current situation, his survival instincts screamed at him to get away from Victor.
But he suddenly discovered that he couldn't move!
What was going on?
He should have clearly been retreating, so why did he suddenly charge back and catch the blade with his bare hands? And now he couldn't even move!
Even though Doma was someone who struggled to express genuine emotions, he was no longer calm at this moment.
"Shinobu, throw me your Nichirin Blade!"
Victor shouted to Shinobu, trying his best to endure the overwhelming stench in the air.
"Here!"
Before Shinobu could react, Kanae snatched her sister's Nichirin Blade and threw it to Victor.
Although she didn't understand the reasoning behind it, she believed that Victor must have had good reason for his request.
After catching the Nichirin Blade, Victor slashed at Doma without hesitation.
The ten seconds of forced control had not yet ended, and Doma could only watch helplessly as the Nichirin Blade swept across his neck.
There was a flash of steel, and just like that, the arrogant Upper Rank Two met his end.
Until the moment of his death, Doma wore a completely bewildered expression.
He still had no idea what had happened to him.
After dealing with Doma, Victor walked toward the sisters, carrying both Nichirin Blades.
"It's finished."
"Thank you so much!"
Shinobu bowed deeply to Victor to express her gratitude.
Kanae also forced herself to bow despite her injuries and thank Victor.
"Cough... Mr. Victor, I will never forget your life-saving grace!"
Victor waved his hand dismissively: "If you really want to thank me, how about arranging a place for me to rest and preparing some food? I haven't eaten for two days."
It was strange—he hadn't eaten for two days, yet he only felt slightly hungry.
Was this because he had become stronger?
"No problem! There happens to be a Demon Slayer Corp safe house nearby. Come with us!"
Shinobu supported her sister and walked toward the safe house with Victor.
During their journey, they also encountered members of the Demon Slayer Corps who had come as reinforcements.
However, these were ordinary corps members and some hidden operatives responsible for cleanup work.
Demon Slayer Corps Safe House
It was called a safe house, but it was actually a traditional inn with a wisteria crest displayed on its entrance.
After a quick meal, Victor finally no longer felt hungry.
"Are you full? If not, I can have someone prepare more."
Shinobu handed over freshly brewed tea with a relieved smile.
"Thank you, but I'm full now."
Victor set down his chopsticks.
"By the way, how is my sister doing?"
"Her lungs are damaged, but not too severely. She should recover within ten days to two weeks. The rest are just surface wounds and won't be life-threatening."
Fortunately, they had responded in time, and her sister hadn't inhaled too much of the toxin.
If they had been any later, she might have been unable to use breathing techniques for the rest of her life, even if she had survived.
After all, lungs were crucial for Demon Slayers.
"Now that the matter here is resolved, it's time for me to head back." Victor stood up.
He had been considering spending the night here before leaving.
But now it seemed unnecessary, as the sky was gradually brightening and the sun would rise within an hour.
"Well then, goodbye!"
Shinobu stood up and watched Victor leave, only looking away when he disappeared through the portal.
After passing through the portal, Victor returned to his original world.
He was back at the same location where he had started.
He immediately opened the chat group to see what the girls had been discussing while he was offline.
[Belle: Why is there still no news after all this time? Have they run into trouble?]
As soon as he came online, he saw Belle worrying about them, which immediately warmed Victor's heart.
[Lumine: Don't worry, with Victor's strength, nothing should go wrong.]
[Stelle: Indeed, don't forget that he now has all of our abilities! Add in his two abstract abilities, and dealing with a demon shouldn't be a problem.]
[Victor: Thank you for your concern, Belle. Shinobu and I are both fine, and the matter has been resolved.]
[Victor: It just took me some time to grab a bite to eat.]
[Shinobu: I'm really sorry for making everyone worry.]
[Belle: Phew, I'm glad you're both okay.]
[Victor: Belle, could you upload your Fairy? I'd like to purchase it.]
[Belle: Huh? A powerful boss like you would actually be interested in this chattering artificial idiot?]
[Victor: After all, I'm living in a modern society, so a top-tier artificial intelligence would still be quite useful.]
Mainly because he knew nothing about this world.
If he wanted to understand what kind of world he was living in, the best approach was to search for information online.
But there was too much information on the internet, and it was too diverse. He needed a top-tier AI like Fairy to help him filter through it all.
[Belle: No problem, I'll give it a try.]
[Ding! Group member Belle uploaded top-tier artificial intelligence Fairy and obtained 1,000 points!]
It seemed that Fairy was also recognized as Belle's property by the chat group system.
But this was normal—after all, Fairy did call Belle her master.
"Chat group system, purchase Fairy."
[Ding! Purchase successful! Automatically installed on your phone!]
