"What, you learned it just by watching me perform it once!"
Sanda was stunned when he heard what Goku said.
It took him several years to master the Third Form back then, but Goku learned it just by looking at it.
Is the gap between people really that big?
However, his heart was then filled with ecstasy, because this indicated that Goku's potential was even greater than he had imagined.
Not only did he possess a special physique and extraordinary abilities, but he also had an exceptionally strong learning talent.
If he were brought back, he might be even more of a genius than the Mist Hashira.
"Sanda-senpai, I can't control my body anymore!"
Just then, the few remaining teammates nearby suddenly cried out in alarm.
Sanda's mind was similarly shaken at this moment; he, too, found himself somewhat unable to control his own body.
He looked up ahead, and saw that the previously controlled puppet teammates, after their nichirin blades were taken, had all fallen to the ground.
At this point, he understood; it must be that the Demon behind them, seeing that the puppets had no weapons and could not inflict much damage, had shifted the target of his Blood Demon Art to them.
"Goku, quickly use your teleportation ability to leave here!"
Realizing that his body was completely out of his control, Sanda immediately shouted at Goku.
He was worried that if Goku stayed there, he too would be controlled by that Demon's Blood Demon Art.
Although Goku had a special physique and had learned Water Breathing's Third Form just by looking at it, he was absolutely no match for the Demon hiding in the background.
They didn't even know where the Demon was.
Moreover, Goku couldn't use a blade yet, and brute force alone couldn't kill a Demon.
So, while that Demon had not yet used his Blood Demon Art on Goku, he wanted Goku to quickly teleport away and escape.
"So it's because of these spider silks."
Goku did not listen to Sanda's words and teleport away. Instead, he reached back and forcefully pulled off several spider silks, holding them in front of his eyes.
He had been observing from the very beginning what was controlling those Demon Slayer Corps members.
It wasn't until a few small spiders crawled onto him just now, and he felt the spider silks manipulating his body, that he finally understood what was happening.
He looked carefully at the backs of Sanda and the others, and seeing the spider silks connected to their backs, he was even more certain of his guess.
The Demon behind them was using small spiders in the forest to attach its spider silks to the Demon Slayer Corps members.
Then, it used the spider silks to control the bodies of the Demon Slayer Corps members.
"How is this possible, why can't I control him!"
At the same time, on a large rock in the distance, a female Demon, completely White, even her hair, was there.
Her hands were wrapped in a large amount of spider silk, and there were strange patterns on her face, but her expression was one of disbelief.
After the nichirin blades of the controlled puppets were taken, she immediately abandoned those puppets and began to control the surrounding spiders to transfer the spider silks.
The first target for transfer, naturally, was the boy who could take away all her puppets' nichirin blades with a single move.
The process was smooth; the boy did not discover and kill her spiders, and the spider silks successfully connected to his body.
But what she never expected was that when she tried to use the spider silks to control his body, she found that she couldn't move him at all.
His body contained extremely terrifying power; her spider silks couldn't pull him even a little.
"Then I'll kill you!"
Seeing the boy tear off the spider silks from his back, the female Demon immediately controlled Sanda and the others to raise their nichirin blades and all slash at the boy.
"Run!"
Sanda's face changed drastically again when he found himself raising his blade to strike at Goku, and his voice became even more urgent.
But Goku didn't pay attention to the several nichirin blades slashing at him. He just pointed a finger:
"Fire Snake, clear the way!"
A three-meter-long Fire Snake flew from his hand, quickly circling Sanda and the others, and the fallen puppets behind them, several times.
He couldn't yet cast large-scale Fire magic attacks like Grandpa Dumbledore.
But casting Fire Snakes, Fire Dragons, and the like, was no problem.
"Watch out for the small spiders around you; that Demon is using spider silk to control your bodies."
Sanda and the others, puzzled as to why Goku could release a Fire Snake, were in a daze when they found that control of their bodies had returned.
So they immediately swung their blades, quickly slaying the small spiders approaching them.
Although breathing techniques are categorized into Water, Thunder, Flame, Wind, Stone, and so on, they cannot actually produce corresponding elemental attacks.
It's just that different breathing techniques emphasize different aspects of physical enhancement.
Those who practice Water have better body flexibility, those who practice Flame have better explosiveness, and those who practice Thunder are faster.
Only a Demon's Blood Demon Art can, like magic, produce elemental attacks such as wind, fire, thunder, and lightning.
So, for them, Goku conjuring a Fire Snake out of thin air to burn through the spider silks was an incredibly unbelievable thing.
"Senpai, many spiders are crawling towards Musashi and the others!"
One of the teammates, named Murata, struggled to hack down the small spiders pouncing on him, and turned his head just in time to see a large number of spiders crawling towards the fallen teammates.
Many of those fallen teammates, having been controlled by spider silk earlier, were injured and unconscious.
Although they posed little threat even if controlled again, as they had no nichirin blades,
They were worried that the Demon might use the controlled teammates to launch suicide attacks. If they couldn't bring themselves to kill them, they could easily get entangled in spider silk again due to the interference.
"Leave it to me!"
The recovered Sanda intended to use Water Breathing's Third Form again, but before he could, he realized it was no longer necessary.
Because Goku had acted again.
"Freeze all!"
With a wave of his finger, he used the area-of-effect freezing magic, the Freezing Charm.
This was a Time Magic that could freeze the actions of an area around him.
Its advantage was a large attack range and difficulty to evade, while its disadvantage was that it could only freeze very small creatures, being ineffective against slightly larger ones.
Creatures the size of cats and dogs could directly immune the Freezing Charm's immobilization.
This spell was a charm invented by wizards to capture small magical creatures like Cornish Pixies.
At the same time, it could also affect some modern precision technology items.
Things like clocks and surveillance cameras would also stop running after being hit by the Freezing Charm.
So, the thumb-sized spiders around them were naturally within the range of the Freezing Charm.
"They've stopped moving!"
Everyone noticed that all the small spiders around them had stopped moving; some that had already pounced on their targets were even suspended in mid-air.
"Bring those injured teammates over; I can give them some simple treatment."
Goku said to Sanda.
Of course, he also knew healing spells.
Sanda poked a small spider suspended motionless in mid-air, his face full of disbelief.
Upon hearing Goku's words, he immediately took Murata and a few others and carried the fallen teammates back...
