Infinite Anime: Una cita a ciegas con Kanroji Mitsuri al principio

If I had to say what the most outstanding feature of the world of "Kimetsu no Yaiba" is, without a doubt, it would be the creatures known as "demons".

They have an extremely long lifespan, are practically immune to any damage except sunlight and can regenerate quickly, even if they are dismembered. Whether in the age of firearms or the age of iron weapons, they are an almost impossible presence to defeat.

The reason Lin Cheng chooses to stay out of trouble is related to the characteristics of demons. Of course, the nichirin sword can also be very effective, but having it does not guarantee invulnerability. 

Among the demons, there are some exceptionally talented ones who possess special abilities known as "Blood Techniques". The most prominent demons are called the "Twelve Demon Moons", divided into Six Superior and Six Inferior.

The Lower Six may be considered relatively manageable, but the Upper Six, especially the First and Third, possess overwhelming strength. 

Even if their heads were cut off with the Nichirin Sword, they would not die. They are beings who completely defy normal restrictions. It is because of all these considerations that Lin Cheng chooses to be cautious.

If he could reach a percentage of one hundred percent, it would be a different story. But unfortunately, Lin Cheng has only unlocked a little more than thirteen percent.

Sure, thirteen percent is a significant improvement and is already stronger than Lin Cheng expected. However, it doesn't reach the level where Lin Cheng feels invulnerable.

'Then why among all these people did you meet me or Mitsuri Kanroji?'

'Is it me who is unlucky or is it you who is too lucky?' thought Lin Cheng.

Lin Cheng looked at the shadow rapidly approaching him, and his eyes took on an indifference never seen before.

Meanwhile, Mitsuri Kanroji was still laughing and chatting with Lin Cheng, oblivious to the changes that had happened to Lin Cheng in that short period of time.

The time for Lin Cheng to think about it was limited.

Soon enough, the shadow on the ground reached Mitsuri Kanroji's feet and began to spread towards her feet, as if it wanted to instantly drag her into the endless darkness.

At that very instant, Lin Cheng acted. His strong hands encircled Mitsuri Kanroji's slender waist and lifted her upward.

"Oh!" 

Mitsuri Kanroji exclaimed with a completely flushed face. She watched as Lin Cheng, whom she had admired for a long time, lifted her up holding her by the waist.

Mitsuri Kanroji's heart began to beat rapidly. This was the first time in her life that someone had embraced her so intimately. After all, Mitsuri Kanroji had eight times the muscle density of an ordinary person.

Despite her charming appearance, Mitsuri Kanroji had a considerable weight, probably no less than 200 pounds. Only someone like Lin Cheng, who has the template of Yujiro Hanma could lift her with such ease.

However, at this moment, Lin Cheng had no time to pay attention to Mitsuri Kanroji.

Lin Cheng had no time to appreciate the feel of Mitsuri Kanroji's soft body resting on him. At this moment, his eyes seemed to shoot out two bolts of determination that pierced the rats hidden in the shadows. Without hesitation, Lin Cheng used his other hand and threw a direct punch.

BOOM!

The ground seemed to erupt like muffled thunder. The firm brick pavement shattered into pieces as Lin Cheng delivered a devastating blow. Along with the cracking of the broken floor, cries of pain were also heard coming from the shadows.

Despite the demons' almost infinite regeneration ability, the pain they were experiencing did not diminish at all.

Especially Lin Cheng's act of tearing the demon's body into mashed meat was extremely painful.

"What's going on?"

"What the hell is this, is it possible for a human being to have this kind of power?"

"Is this guy a monster?"

Lin Cheng's actions did not go unnoticed by the surrounding crowd, and conversations and murmurs spread through the people who had gathered for the festival.

Everyone present looked at Lin Cheng with astonishment, fear and disbelief on their faces. After all, what Lin Cheng did by breaking the ground with a single punch was not something a normal person could accomplish.

Meanwhile, fireworks began to burst in the sky, forming one after another beautiful patterns in the air.

"Lord Lin Cheng!"

At that moment, Mitsuri Kanroji put aside her shyness. He was in no mood to enjoy the expected fireworks. He looked at Lin Cheng with an expression of deep concern and asked, "What happened?"

"I'm sorry, Mitsuri," Lin Cheng replied. "It looks like something really dangerous has us in its sights."

Lin Cheng looked at the worried expression on Mitsuri Kanroji's face and smiled slightly at her. 

"I think we won't have time to enjoy the fireworks tonight. This seems to be a complicated matter that we need to address," he said.

With that said, Lin Cheng extended his arm, as hard as steel, straight out into the darkness surrounding them.

Then, under everyone's astonished gaze, he forcibly pulled a human-shaped but clearly malevolent individual out of the darkness. Lin Cheng looked at the struggling being in his grip and asked: 

"What do you think?"

"Is it one of those 'demons' they talk about in the legends?" continued Lin Cheng with a narrowed gaze.
