Chapter 85: Yoriichi Type Zero
Despite the change in attire, Fang Bo recognized the figure immediately.
The man descending the mountain was none other than another reincarnator, code-named “Doctor.”
It was unexpected to see him here in Swordsmith Village, and it seemed he had been here for some time.
“What a coincidence,” Fang Bo greeted lightly.
As he looked at the gentle, smiling man before him, Fang Bo felt an odd discomfort. His memory of this person was of a cold, indifferent character. How had he changed so much in just a few days?
“Hello,” the Doctor, dressed in a hoodie, waved his hand, his warm smile making others feel as if they were basking in a spring breeze. “I didn’t expect to see you here. Didn’t your companions come along?”
“They have other tasks to attend to.”
With that brief explanation, the two reincarnators passed each other, ending the conversation politely but distantly.
The Doctor’s appearance was a surprise, but it wouldn’t affect Fang Bo’s plans. The Upper Moon attack was inevitable, and no obstacle could disrupt that.
What Fang Bo needed to do now was to strengthen himself, find the right opportunity to send a message, and call for another Pillar-level warrior to come and assist at Swordsmith Village.
The conversation with the village chief earlier had informed him that only the Mist Pillar was currently stationed at the village.
Indeed, the Mist Pillar was incredibly strong—compared to Tanjiro, he was more like the protagonist of the *Demon Slayer* story.
In just two months of training, Muichiro Tokito had become a “Pillar.” His potential was unmatched, and if he survived, it was hard to imagine how powerful he would become in a few more years.
Unfortunately, the Infinity Castle battle came too soon, and the harsh reality never gave him enough time to fully develop his skills.
Without unlocking his Demon Slayer Mark, he struggled even against Gyokko. Let alone having to face the split-body abilities of Hantengu.
If there was no additional support, even with the Demon Slayer Mark activated, the odds of the Mist Pillar dying in battle were as high as seventy percent.
“If I remember correctly, the Love Pillar’s station is quite close to Swordsmith Village. With her speed, she could arrive here in no time.”
There was some risk involved—no one could guarantee what might happen in that period.
Fang Bo could end up facing Upper Moon Hantengu alone, which wasn’t part of his plan. The best solution would be to find an excuse to lure her here.
If he could join forces with the Love Pillar and knowing the enemy’s weaknesses beforehand, the chances of defeating Hantengu would be significantly higher.
Against such an enemy with bizarre abilities, targeting the weak points was crucial. Even if the Mist Pillar arrived with his Demon Slayer Mark, without knowledge of those weaknesses, he would still exhaust himself to death.
Compared to Akaza, who was a brute force fighter, Fang Bo honestly preferred enemies like Hantengu.
Although Hantengu’s split-body abilities were troublesome, with countless powerful techniques, his individual strength wasn’t overwhelmingly difficult to handle.
As long as Fang Bo wasn’t instantly killed by the enemy, he would have the qualifications to fight Hantengu.
If he managed to defeat him, a golden treasure chest would drop, and Fang Bo could claim the incredible rewards for himself.
“What kind of chest would drop if I killed Muzan?” he mused.
While pondering, he followed the village chief’s instructions and arrived outside a wooden cabin at the mountain’s peak.
*Sob, sob…*
The faint sound of crying reached his ears. Seeing no one inside the cabin, Fang Bo walked around to the backyard.
There, a boy of about ten years old, wearing a thick-browed mask, was tearfully cleaning a realistic-looking doll.
The doll had deep red hair and was highly lifelike. If not for its broken left eye exposing the inner mechanism, it would have been difficult to tell at first glance that it wasn’t a real person.
It was Yoriichi Type Zero, a training doll created by the greatest swordsman of the *Demon Slayer* world, Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the founder of Sun Breathing.
In terms of appearance, it resembled Yoriichi by at least eighty percent, though the six arms were a bit much.
According to its creator, only by wielding six swords simultaneously could it barely replicate the stance of the strongest swordsman.
“Impressive,” Fang Bo sincerely praised.
The unexpected voice startled Kotetsu, who quickly wiped away his tears and turned to look at the unmasked intruder. “Are you from the Demon Slayer Corps?”
“Hello, I’m the newly appointed Spider Pillar,” Fang Bo introduced himself, quickly explaining the situation and expressing his desire to obtain Yoriichi Type Zero.
To prove his abilities, Fang Bo took out his headless doll and demonstrated the art of true puppet manipulation for the boy.
Seeing Kotetsu’s shock, Fang Bo smiled and said, “This is the proper way to use a doll. Its true purpose is not just for training but to accompany me into battle and slay demons.”
These words were beyond Kotetsu’s imagination. His first instinct was to refuse, but the allure of the headless doll was too mesmerizing.
While the boy stood in a daze, Fang Bo walked over to Yoriichi Type Zero and examined its attributes by touch.
[Name: Yoriichi Type Zero]
[Grade: Epic]
[Category: Weapon]
[Attack Power: 7-8]
[Durability: 44/320]
[Attribute Boost: +2 Spirit]
[Usage Requirements: Perception 14, Puppet Mastery Lv5]
[Equipment Effect: Training Doll]
[Mechanical Attachments (6): Wooden Training Swords × 6]
[Origin: *Demon Slayer*]
[Equipment Evaluation: A training doll modeled after the strongest human. Perhaps it holds hidden secrets.]
[Training Doll (Active Skill): As a training doll, it can fight autonomously for five minutes, with a cooldown of thirty minutes.]
The durability was decent, and the stat boosts suited him well. As for the training doll’s active skill, it was too early to assess its effectiveness.
As an epic-grade puppet, Yoriichi Type Zero’s most powerful feature was its six mechanical attachments.
In other words, each of its arms could be equipped with a different item.
Unlike reincarnators, puppets didn’t need to meet any usage requirements for equipment—they only had to fit in size.
Of course, they couldn’t benefit from the most important stat bonuses. Even if the equipment boosted strength by 10 points, neither the puppet nor the reincarnator would gain any increase.
The only things they could borrow were the attack power and any special effects the equipment provided.
If Fang Bo used Yoriichi Type Zero, he could activate the equipment it wielded, as long as he reserved enough spiritual energy to do so. Passive abilities were a separate matter.
“It feels like I’m going to need more and more spiritual energy for everything,” Fang Bo sighed.
On the other side, Kotetsu finally came to his senses, though he still seemed reluctant to give up the doll.
Understanding that epic-grade equipment wasn’t easy to acquire, Fang Bo waited, hoping a mission might be triggered.
Gazing at the majestic headless doll, Kotetsu tentatively asked, “You’re so strong—could you help me find my grandfather’s notes?”
[Mission 14552 triggered: Lost Art.]
[Mission Description: The art of puppet repair has been lost. Kotetsu asks you to find his grandparents’ relics.]
[Mission Objective: Travel to the destination to retrieve the mission items.]
[Hint: Do not underestimate the depth of the cave.]
Having successfully triggered a mission, Fang Bo naturally wasn’t going to pass it up.
He ruffled the boy’s hair, crouched down, and gently promised, “Don’t worry, I’ll help fulfill your wish.”
Soon, Fang Bo arrived at the mission location.
Staring into the pitch-black cave, Kotetsu’s warnings echoed in Fang Bo’s mind.
Many powerful individuals had ventured deep into this cave to repair Yoriichi Type Zero, but unfortunately, they all became lost within.
Clearly, this was a test of the reincarnators’ perception abilities. With so many intricate passages, relying solely on memory would inevitably lead to getting lost.
Fang Bo’s perception was quite strong—just one point shy of reaching the upper limit for a high-difficulty world.
Logically, it was worth a try, but he wouldn’t recklessly risk his life alone.
*Shikigami Summon: Jorogumo!*
As the six-pointed star array unfolded, the silhouette of Jorogumo gradually appeared from within.
The giant spider could continuously produce silk. He’d let her use her webs to explore the cave, just as they had done in the spider cave of the Onmyoji world. It was a return to old habits this time.
Before sending her off, Fang Bo decided to reward her. He pulled out a bottle of diluted blood from the Demon King.
Seeing the shikigami’s eager, hungry expression, he smiled and gently opened her mouth.
[Current consumption progress: 15.88%]
“Looks pretty good.”
Not being able to consume Akaza was a definite regret. This time, he needed to be cautious when facing the Upper Moon.
Shikigami destiny quests usually required several worlds to complete, but for Fang Bo, the *Demon Slayer* world was perfect. Why not finish the “Demon Spider King” quest here?
Once the giant spider had her fill, she obediently ventured into the cave under her master’s urging, leaving a trail of sturdy webbing behind to ensure she could safely retrace her steps.
Even if she lost her way, it didn’t matter. Fang Bo could just unsummon her, and she’d reappear two hours later.
It seemed like the task was already on its way to completion, but Fang Bo couldn’t shake a sense of unease.
From every angle, acquiring Yoriichi Type Zero wouldn’t be that simple.
After all, it was an epic-grade piece of equipment. Even in its damaged state, combined with Fang Bo’s “Spider Pillar” status, it wasn’t something that could be obtained just by exploring a bit.
Everything so far had merely been the prerequisites for triggering the mission. The upcoming cave expedition would be the real test.
As expected, it wasn’t long before Jorogumo sent a warning from deep inside.
She had encountered enemies.
Within the cave, Jorogumo slashed with her spider blades, and several strange creatures already lay motionless at her feet.
They were some sort of fish with limbs, crawling to move. Their appearances varied, but each one carried a beautiful ceramic pot on its body.
Marking one of the enemies with a spider sigil, Jorogumo swung her forelimbs and easily dispatched the potfish in front of her.
However, there were simply too many of them. Forced to retreat, she jumped onto the wall, using the stickiness of her spider legs to navigate around.
While dodging, Jorogumo continuously shot webs, step by step sealing off the cave and restricting the potfish’s movement.
Otherwise, if they swarmed her all at once, even with eight legs, she wouldn’t be able to handle it.
“What a troublesome bunch,” Jorogumo muttered, her irritation growing.
