"You can be depressed! You can drink! You can vent! Nobody will blame you!"
"But you fucking can't stay down! You can't forget who you are! You can't forget what kind of person Lady Ruka hopes you will become! You can't forget that Kyojuro and Senjuro are still watching you!!"
"enough!!!"
Makijuro roared, as if stung by these words.
He grabbed the wine jar beside him and smashed it on the ground, shards flying everywhere. His finger trembled as he pointed towards the door and roared at Ryosuke.
"Get out! Get out of here! The Purgatory Clan doesn't welcome you! My affairs are none of your business, you brat!!"
Ryosuke gave him a cold look and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand.
"The Mr. Rengoku Makijuro I know is bold, upright, and passionate, definitely not this coward who only hides in a sake jar and wallows in self-pity."
After saying that, Ryosuke stopped looking at Makijuro and turned to walk towards the door.
Kyojuro hurriedly followed, his face full of worry and apology.
“Mr. Ryosuke! Your injury… I’m so sorry, my father…”
Ryosuke interrupted him, rubbing his bruised lips.
"It's just a flesh wound, it won't kill you. If your father is still like this, send someone to tell me."
Ryosuke paused, then gave a comical laugh.
"I'll beat him up again!"
Anjuro: (?Д?)ノ
You told my son that you'd come and beat up my dad for no reason?!
Kyojuro was momentarily at a loss for how to react, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
Immediately, he took a deep breath and said solemnly.
"Mr. Ryosuke! Thank you! If my father can't pull himself together for a while, I will do my best! I will become stronger, for my father's sake too!"
Ryosuke nodded with satisfaction: "Okay! I believe you!"
He left those words behind and slowly walked out of the Purgatory family's gate.
Under the long corridor, Makijuro sat slumped on the ground.
He wiped his cracked lip, his eyes filled with a complex and unreadable expression.
After a long while, Makijuro took a sip of sake, looked in the direction Ryosuke had left, and let out a cryptic sneer.
"I'm practically your mentor, you rebellious brat! How could you be so ruthless!"
The night breeze caressed my face, dispelling the effects of the alcohol.
On his way to Mount Narrow Mist, Ryosuke pondered deeply as he looked at his 24 years and 340 days of lifespan.
He had previously been in a coma recovering from his injuries, and then attended the Pillar Meeting, where he gently persuaded Makijuro. There were quite a few things he did.
Now I finally have some free time by myself.
Once upon a time, Ryosuke risked his life for a year or two.
They even actively sought out demon slayers, training until they were exhausted, tormented to the point of exhaustion, wishing they could split every penny in two, saving every bit they could, and fearing that others would steal their demon heads.
And now, a mere fourth-ranked prince has become incredibly wealthy!
It has been proven that people tend to engage in revenge spending once they have money.
Furthermore, after becoming a pillar, one has jurisdiction over a territory, which requires patrolling, and the tasks assigned are also of a high level.
This means that he will have access to more and more high-level experience items.
It's no exaggeration to say that as long as Ryosuke works hard, he'll never run out of life points! He'll never run out!
Allowing a month to prepare a backup plan is more than enough!
This promotion can be described as a Thomas spiral that allows Ryosuke to take off from the spot.
The peasants sang songs of liberation, directly transforming into landowners.
The rest is just a matter of thinking it over and deciding which skill to add.
[Haa~ Host, hurry up and think of something, this system doesn't want to work overtime~]
"Nima..."
Ryosuke's lips twitched.
Throughout the year, he followed the principles of Gou Dao and kept saving his life points in order to deal with unexpected situations like the zero-sum game.
It's like giving this damn system a year-long vacation!
He doesn't want to work overtime right now!
Have you ever even had a job?!
"If you keep making noise, I'll file a complaint against you for involuntary strike!"
The current continued, and the system finally behaved itself a bit.
The core of Lei Hu is to rely on the First Form to charge in, and then combine it with other forms to unleash burst damage.
After Thunder Flash reaches its maximum level and unlocks Divine Speed and Six-Hit Combo, Ryosuke has so many ways to rush in that it's overwhelming.
For burst damage, the Fire and Thunder God skill is more than enough.
Heat-bound Thunder and Lightning Thunder are powerful, but they also consume a lot of energy, making them unsuitable for use as regular combos.
While considering the power, one should also weigh it against one's own conditions.
With Ryosuke's current physical strength, he can't achieve an infinite mana bar and use his ultimate move like a minor skill.
The most commonly used are Second Form: Rice Spirit and Third Form: Mosquito Swarm Thunder.
These two moves consume relatively little energy, are both offensive and defensive, and have good burst damage and coverage.
Without a doubt, these two skills offer the best value for money at this stage.
Second Form: Rice Spirit requires 20 years of lifespan to reach maximum level.
The third type, which involves gathering mosquitoes to form thunder, takes 25 years.
After a moment's thought, Ryosuke made the assignment.
First, max out the Rice Soul skill, save a month's worth as a minimum, and then use the rest to upgrade the Gathering Dragon into Thunder skill.
[20 years of lifespan infused, Second Form: Rice Spirit ascends to its ultimate form]
[Ink Spirit unlocks advanced forms: Ink Spirit - Madness! Ink Spirit - Ultimate!]
[After 4 years and 310 days of infusion, the third stage of the "Mosquito Swarming into Thunder" technique has been upgraded to a minor stage.]
[Swarming Mosquitoes Unlocks Advanced Form: Swarming Mosquitoes - Condensation]
A series of notification sounds rang out.
Ryosuke felt the surging power of thunder within him and was extremely excited about his deeper understanding of swordsmanship.
He's in a real hurry! Extremely urgent!
It feels like suddenly feeling a urge in the middle of the night, only to find that the Apple app suddenly won't open!
Give me a small bread roll so I can try out my sword techniques!
Lightning crackled beneath Ryosuke's feet as he moved through the jungle like a phantom, much like General Duanmu riding a tricycle through the streets searching for Oukser.
A bolt of lightning streaked past and pierced the demon's chest.
He trembled as he looked at the figure in front of him, shrouded in lightning and chuckling in the shadows!
Who in the family understands?
I just wanted to go out for a meal and then I ran into Zhu!
He yelled something like "Take this!" and swung his knife at me!
The key point is that he didn't cut off my head; he kept letting it regenerate and recover.
What happened to the Demon Slayer Corps being all people of righteousness?
Do you understand the saying "Killing is not cruelty"?
Is it fair for you, a pillar, to make things difficult for me, a mere calami?
"Okay, I've got it pretty good. Thanks for your hard work, Little Bread!"
Ryosuke raised his sword, lightning crackling around it, the blade as swift as the wind!
Thunder Breathing - Third Form - Gathering Mosquitoes into Thunder - Condensation!
The blade flashed out with a fierce strike, resembling a crescent moon.
The demon greeted the lightning with a blissful smile.
There was no fear in his eyes, only relief.
[Slaying a low-level evil spirit grants 10 days of lifespan; remaining lifespan: 40 days]
Ryosuke pursed his lips and sheathed his sword.
The range and power of the Rice Soul's Frenzy and Extreme have been greatly enhanced.
The original five lightning strikes have increased by about three times.
The power of the Mad is greater, and the speed of the Extreme is even faster.
Only this gathering of mosquitoes into thunder, this condensation, is different.
He no longer unleashed a frenzied, wide-range slash, but instead concentrated all his power into a single strike.
It has a small range, but deals extremely high damage.
Ryosuke was very satisfied.
When he killed Zero, his strength was probably enough to take on Lower Moon One single-handedly.
Now, after a surge of power-ups, he's confident he can challenge the Fallen Prostitute and Sixth Brother from Upper Moon Six.
After all, the mechanisms of these two are too disgusting, requiring them to be beheaded simultaneously.
