------------------------------------------------
...in an abandoned warehouse on the west side of town.
A Beautiful Woman with two pointed horns on her head and four full, large eyes was holding a two-month-old infant, murmuring incessantly:
"My child, you're eating from Mommy now. Once you're full, Mommy will eat you tonight. How does that sound?"
As she spoke, saliva dripped from the corners of her mouth.
"Hold back, I must hold back. You eat, I eat you. That's fair, that's fair..."
However, the baby in her arms started crying loudly as it ate.
It was sucking but getting nothing, like sucking on a bottle without formula. Its stomach was still empty, so it naturally cried.
The Beautiful Woman paid no attention, just kept repeating the same words.
"Hey, Auntie, is the child in your arms not yours?"
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out in the warehouse, interrupting the Beautiful Woman's frantic murmuring.
She looked in the direction of the voice with some confusion. It was a boy wearing a strange robe.
"You called me Auntie?"
Although she wasn't sure when the boy had appeared in the warehouse, she was clearly angered by his address.
"If you're not an Auntie, are you an Uncle? But your butt is clearly on your chest, and you have two butts."
Goku was stunned. Had he misjudged again?
After a year at Hogwarts, interacting with so many Little Wizards, he thought he could now distinguish genders without resorting to physical contact.
He didn't expect to make a mistake again.
Sigh, distinguishing genders is truly too difficult!
"You're looking for death!"
The Beautiful Woman's face was as cold as ice.
"Uncle, are you a demon? Are the missing children from this town related to you?"
To avoid finding the wrong person, he asked more carefully.
The strength of one's aura doesn't fully determine their power. For example, when he first met Grandpa Dumbledore, he didn't feel Grandpa Dumbledore's aura was particularly strong.
But he couldn't beat Grandpa Dumbledore at that time either.
However, those with powerful internal auras are generally not too weak.
The aura of the person in front of him far exceeded that of ordinary people, and it also felt very evil to him. Most likely, she was a demon of this World.
"Little one, your eyes are good. I am a demon. Those missing children have long since entered my stomach and become one with me.
Soon, you will be just like them.
Although your body is a bit old, it can barely serve as a snack before the main course, just to tide me over."
The Beautiful Woman licked her lips and did not deny it, because she felt there was no need to deny it.
"If that's the case, then I must kill you."
Goku assumed the Turtle School's starting stance towards the Beautiful Woman.
Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't actively kill people, because Grandpa and Master Roshi had both taught him that they were martial artists, not assassins.
But for the demon in front of him who stole and ate other people's children, he already had murderous intent in his heart.
"Hahahahaha, you, with your strength, want to kill me?"
A cruel smile appeared on the Beautiful Woman's face:
"Since you're so brave, I'll eat you alive later, starting from your feet, then slowly moving up to your head."
If the boy in front of her had a nichirin blade, she might have been more careful.
Because the boy might be a Demon Slayer Corps hunter.
If a hunter's nichirin blade cut off her neck, she would die.
And some hunters, though young, were not weak in strength.
But the person opposite didn't even have a nichirin blade, so what did she have to fear?
She leaped onto the warehouse roof, used the roof for leverage, and landed behind Goku. Her left hand held the infant, and her right hand grabbed for Goku's nape.
"What's going on?"
Her right hand passed directly through Goku's nape, grabbing nothing but air.
"Ah!"
Immediately after, she let out a scream and rapidly retreated backward.
When she stood firm again, she found that her entire left arm was gone.
Goku threw away the Beautiful Woman's arm and carefully held the infant.
The Beautiful Woman had attacked the afterimage he created with the Afterimage Fist. His true body had already moved behind the Beautiful Woman.
Because he was worried about the infant getting hurt, he first disarmed the Beautiful Woman's left hand, which was holding the infant, and rescued the infant.
"Damn it, give it back to me!"
Seeing the delicious meal in her hand gone, the Beautiful Woman's face immediately showed an enraged expression, and she attacked Goku again.
"Huh, she recovers so quickly?"
Goku didn't care about the Beautiful Woman's attack at all.
Because in his opinion, the Beautiful Woman's speed and strength were only comparable to Yamucha's, specifically Yamucha when he first met him in the desert.
What truly surprised him was the Beautiful Woman's recovery ability.
Her left arm, which he had torn off, had grown back in less than ten seconds.
This reminded him of Sanda's description of demons on the way.
Besides possessing terrifying strength and speed beyond ordinary humans, demons also had incredible regenerative abilities.
Even if their bodies were torn into pieces, even if only a head remained, they wouldn't die and could slowly recover.
There were generally two ways to kill a demon:
One was to use the Demon Slayer Corps' special nichirin blade to cut off the demon's neck. Only when a nichirin blade cut off a demon's neck would the demon die.
If other weapons were used to cut off the neck, the demon could still recover.
The other, more powerful method, was to expose the demon to the Sun, but this was very difficult to achieve.
Because demons would hide during the day, making them difficult to find.
"Smack!"
Goku dodged the Beautiful Woman's claw attack with a sidestep, then raised his hand and slapped downward. The Beautiful Woman was swatted to the ground like a fly, an unknown number of bones broken in her body.
"You're too weak."
"Are you from the Demon Slayer Corps?"
The Beautiful Woman retreated urgently in a spider-like crawl, her face full of surprise as she looked at Goku.
If the first time was due to her carelessness, then this time she had attacked with full power, yet she was severely injured by a single slap.
If she weren't a demon and didn't have a demon's regenerative ability, she would now be paralyzed on the ground, unable to move.
One must know that her strength among demons was not weak.
Even if she was far from the Twelve Demon Moons, she could still be considered one of the top demons.
But the speed and strength the boy had just displayed far exceeded hers, something a normal human could definitely not achieve.
Unless it was one of those demon hunters from the Demon Slayer Corps who used breathing techniques.
However, she did not see a nichirin blade in the boy's hand, and it was a good thing he didn't have one.
If he had a nichirin blade, and that slap had been a cut to her neck with it, she would already be dead.
"I'm not from the Demon Slayer Corps. My name is Goku, Son Goku and I'm here to kill you."
The Beautiful Woman's strength was too weak; he no longer had any desire to fight and intended to finish her off with the next move.
"Kid, you're too arrogant!"
The Beautiful Woman was instantly enraged.
Although her speed and strength were inferior to this human, this human had no nichirin blade and therefore couldn't kill her at all.
And she still had a trump card:
"Blood Demon Art: Mist Shadow Assault!"
