"Finally!! Finally!! The end is nearing!"

The news he just received was of Lorien's arrival at Sagiri Mountain where Urokodaki lived

This information may not seem that important to others, but for Kagaya it was the exact opposite, this news for him means the beginning of the end

And this is because of his ability, no, more precisely it is an ability present in the Ubuyashiki family, and it is 'Foresight'

This ability helps them avoid disastrous situations and amass a great amount of wealth and fortune

It also allows Kagaya to accurately make guesses and predictions without him knowing any prior information about the target or subject whilst remaining surprisingly accurate

In the original timeline, he was able to predict that Muzan only has one last weakness remaining and that is the sun

He was also able to foresee Muzan's appearance at the demon Salyers HQ which allowed him to prepare explosives beforehand

He also predicted that the death of the upper moon six will start a chain reaction inducing the end of demons

And all of this was without him getting or knowing any information about the subject

This is also the reason for his trade with Lorien, ever since he got the news of Upper moon three's death, he clearly felt a 'chance', an opportunity to end this thousand years battle

And this feeling got stronger and stronger as he traded with Lorien

Or else he wouldn't have traded the fortune amassed by the Ubuyashiki family during a thousand years on a pure guess without bases

After all, this fortune is needed if the demon slayer corps wants to stay operating

And now with Lorien arriving at Sagiri Mountain, this feeling became much much stronger, it was as if it'll become reality at any moment

And then just as he was trying to calm down his excitement another crow flew in from outside, landing on his left shoulder while also getting close to his ear

"..."

"Hahahahahaha!"

*Cough*

*Cough*

*Cough*

Hearing the new information he burst out laughing again causing another fit of blood-filled Coughs

"Great job! Giyu, Mitsuri, Rengoko!"

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

The information he just received now was about the attack on Upper moon Six at the Entertainment district

And this plan also went flawlessly with Mitsuri successfully drawing her and her brother out, and then joining forces with the other Two to quickly end the battle

Thanks to this and the fact that they tried to evacuate some people silently without disturbing the plan, there weren't many casualties and most were just inevitable injuries

"Another upper moon dead! hahaha!"

For hundreds of years, no upper moon has ever died, and now in the span of less than a year 2 upper moons perished, this is truly a great achievement worth celebrating

*Cough*

*Cough*

"Kibutsuji Muzan! We will defeat you without fail during our generation!"

And meanwhile just as Kagaya was having one of the best days of his life

In another part of the country, inside the Infinity Castle also known as the Dimensional Infinity Fortress

Muzan wasn't having a great time, he was currently in his male form, with the remaining four upper moons standing in front of him

"Two upper moons died in the span of one year"

"The upper moons have waned, The Ubuyashiki family has yet to be entombed, I don't know why you guys really exist anymore..."

"And Furthermore, Why can't we find the blue spider lily after hundreds of years..."

Pausing for a moment he continued

"The Demon Slayers have gotten too comfortable, they need to be....."

Meanwhile, while all of this was happening Lorien was still practicing swordsmanship with Urokodaki

To be fair it was much easier than he previously expected, this was thanks to many factors, first of all, his innate talent improved by his awakening (transformation)

Secondly, it was thanks to him 'cheating' using his ability to accelerate his learning speed, his current 'acceleration' cant be compared to the one he previously used when he just awakened, as it also got more powerful with his increase in strengh

And finally, it was because he discovered that he already knew some of the basics of breathing techniques previously, which is something he hadn't noticed before

As someone who has reached the peak of normal swordsmanship and martial arts, he of course knew normal martial arts breathing

It is used in martial arts or swordsmanship mostly to enter a relaxed yet energetically efficient state which is good for training and combat

It is also naturally used when exerting force, but this sort of breathing is too simplistic and there is nothing special about it

This is also the reason he didn't connect it to the breathing techniques until he started training in the water breathing technique

Not that his previous thoughts were wrong, if we were to compare their complexity, the normal breathing for martial arts is a "1" while the demon slayer's breathing technique is a "100" at least

But even then, there is at least some foundation to build on no matter how small it is

And so with all of those factors combined his training speed looked as if he was sitting on a rocket

Whatever it was that Urokodaki taught him, he'll instantly learn in and master it, this shocked the old man so hard he nearly started doubting life

'Monster...If he keeps learning at this speed he'll learn all of it in just 4-5 days'

It should be known that it took Tanjiro 6 weeks to learn the breathing technique and all of its forms, so this speed is truly staggering

But then after thinking of this he shook his head

'The hard part isn't the learning one, it's engraving it into his body, turning it into instincts'

Look at Tanjiro for example, he learned the technique in 6 weeks and since then he's been trying to engrave it into his body and turn it into instincts

But what Urokodaki didn't know is that this part is actually the easiest one for Lorien

*Cough*

Hearing this cough Urokodaki quickly woke up from his daze and looked at Lorien who was waiting for his next instructions

Seeing this he put all of those thoughts aside and turned all of his attention back to Lorien and started guiding him again to the best of his ability

After all, Lorien is an ally, the stronger he is the better, so he wasn't envious of this practice speed he even wished it was faster
