Ryuji's right hand, at first glance, could no longer be considered a normal human hand. It looked like a demon's hand, especially the finger joints, which protruded with sharp exoskeletons.
Then, the skin of Ryuji's right hand turned crimson red, with dark purple veins etched onto the red skin, looking incredibly demonic.
Dark purple veins also appeared on Ryuji's face, and his originally normal eyes had also changed. The white of his eyes turned black, and his black pupils turned purple. Even his originally black hair turned purple in an instant.
Of course, Ryuji couldn't see the changes on his face. The most obvious change he could see was the transformation of his right hand.
As the transformation completed, a purple mist gathered behind Ryuji, following him closely.
Ryuji felt as if his body had gained immense strength. In the next second, his speed increased several notches, and he turned into a purple lightning bolt, dashing through the white expanse of the snowy mountains.
"Is this the added ability of the Demon Spirit Devourer?"
Ryuji thought to himself, this was practically a cheat code!
"I know, if I had arrived half a day earlier, your family might not have died. But time cannot be reversed. Awaken! Let this intense and pure anger become the unwavering driving force for your growth. Relying on a fragile heart alone cannot protect or heal your sister, nor can it avenge your family!"
As Tomioka Giyuu thought to himself, looking at Tanjiro, he slowly raised the Nichirin sword in his hand.
Seeing Tomioka Giyuu's action, Tanjiro, who was kneeling in the snow, knew he was going to kill his sister Nezuko. He instantly became incredibly nervous.
Tomioka Giyuu didn't pay attention to Tanjiro's emotions. In the next second, he plunged the Nichirin sword into Nezuko's chest, which he was holding.
"No, stop!" Tanjiro cried out, his body reacting as well. He picked up a stone from the snow and threw it at Tomioka Giyuu.
Tomioka Giyuu parried Tanjiro's stone attack with the hilt of his sword. In an instant, his pupils contracted, and his face suddenly changed. The sudden turn of events startled Tomioka Giyuu.
What surprised Tomioka Giyuu wasn't the stone Tanjiro threw, but Ryuji, who arrived at the critical moment.
Ryuji, who made a dramatic entrance at the crucial moment, acted decisively. After all, with the Demon Spirit Devourer's power, even if he couldn't kill Tomioka Giyuu, stopping him from killing Nezuko should be no problem.
Plus, his surprise attack would definitely increase his chances of success.
Tanjiro was also stunned by the sudden turn of events. He had been about to grab the axe and fight Tomioka Giyuu when he froze in place.
At this moment, Ryuji's Demon Slayer sword was clashing against Tomioka Giyuu's Nichirin sword. The two weapons met, sparks flying.
Tanjiro looked at the demonic-looking Ryuji and carefully sniffed him. After carefully discerning, Tanjiro didn't smell the scent of the demon who had killed his family on Ryuji.
This made Tanjiro a little disappointed. He had thought Ryuji might be the {demon} who had killed his family.
