11: Glacial Dace + Ice Flow Combo

....

Fwoosh!!

The winds violently shook, sending tremors throughout the bamboo field.

Only the aftershock of sword flashed occasionally flashed through the air, at this point the whole field was covered in a bone chilling ice.

In the center of this ice, itsuki stood there unfazed as his sword danced in the wind, each slash like a piercing spear, it was sometimes soft like the falling of snow, and other times forceful like a falling avalanche.

As the iron katana swung out, the sword slashes materialized into blades of ice as they tore through the air.

This was due to Ice Flow, itsuki practically gained a perfect control of ice, at this point it wasn't even a breathing style anymore, this was more like a heaven-defying element.

Boom!!

The ground erupted as his sword slashed, raising up the chunks of ice below his feet, his Ice domain stretched only tens of meters, but this alone was a domain which was terrifying.

He could sense anything and everything in this domain, and he even held a natural advantage inside this domain as long as he didn't leave it.

Pshhh!!

A icy mist rose as itsuki's sword pierced the cloudy air, causing another violent turn in the wind.

As Time went by and the sun slowly started to set, itsuki was perfecting his moves every minute, although he was exhausted to the bone, he didn't stop, each strike of his katana was more violent and stable than the last, his technique was improving by the minute.

"Hah....hah" even though it was cold, he was sweating billets, which was unbelievable in this sort of environment, not to mention being inside his own "ice" domain.

Ever since coming to this world, the cold weather hadn't once affected him, itsuki felt warm 24/7 it felt even better than the wonderful breeze of the spring season.

——

A whole year and a half went by slowly as itsuki continued training on mount sagiri, in this month he was introduced to Tanjiro by urokodaki, they rarely met since they were both way too busy training.

Atop a tall tree covered in snow, itsuki stood on the branch as he watched the scene below him with cold eyes.

Tanjiro had finally finished his training in this month, itsuki had also improved as well.

He managed to rise a while 5 levels, this was due to his forms awakening, making his training more beneficial, he has also assured urokodaki in some demon hunts around the area, afterall he was far stronger than Tanjiro.

Swoosh!!

With a light leap he landed in the open field, staring at the shattered rock which Tanjiro had sliced through.

"Congrats Tanjiro" itsuki said calmly with a warm smile.

He had finally defeated sabito

"Oh, itsuki, thank you" Tanjiro was surprised before laughing while scratching his head.

Itsuki never really took the chance to talk to him, which made him surprised.

"No problem" itsuki was only happy because he could finally leave here, he knew where his strength lay, and even urokodaki had praised him many times.

This whole year and a half, Nezuko entered into a deep sleep, itsuki wasn't too surprised, although Nezuko was up when he first came here, meaning this scene was most likely not in the canon anime.

Itsuki didn't really remember much about the earlier parts of the show since he usually skipped it.
