Chapter 75: In Battle: Enlightenment! Breathing Technique! ...

After killing Katabayashi Kazuya, Viper walked out of the mysterious space and looked up. What he saw was Aurora fighting with a man.

Judging from all the details, the man who fought against Aurora was none other than the target of their trip, the ancestor of demons - Muzan Kibutsuji.

Viper continued to watch the scene before him—the black-haired girl's originally lively and bright face was now stained with blood, and her sparkling eyes were now obscured by complex emotions, becoming somewhat dim.

On the other side of her, Muzan Kibutsuji's clothes were damaged everywhere, but his body was completely unharmed. The Demon King's hands turned into whips and swung them at an extremely fast speed, continuously whipping Aurora.

"Aurora--" the viper shouted her name loudly in the direction of the girl.

Player: “!!!”

It's a teammate! This is the player's teammate!

The player suddenly looked up, overjoyed, "Viper, you're out!"

Without waiting for a reply, the player yelled at him, "Viper! Hurry back to Hiraki Village! Muzan Kibutsuji has sent all the surviving Lower Moons there. Lucy, the others, and the villagers are in danger!"

Viper: "...I don't think I need to worry about that."

Not to mention that Luche is also accompanied by Lal Milch's apprentice Coronillo and Scarlu, who is just an errand boy but has excellent ability to withstand beatings and a very fast recovery speed.

Besides, Aurora had stuffed countless strange things into their mouths before leaving. Although he hadn't looked at all the props, the strange expression on Cola Nero's face alone was worth savoring.

As for those villagers..., if they were very weak, we would indeed need to worry about them. However, because the Sun-forged Village worships the sun, every villager is very keen on training their bodies to be the same color and strength as the sun.

The person who fell into the water, Tetsuzo Kaigan, was simply because he couldn't swim. In fact, he had been struggling in the river for more than half an hour before Luche and the others pulled him out.

The venomous snake that hates those who are purely physical: ...

"Don't you understand how weak the Lower Moons are? There's no need to worry. We have Coronelo and Scarlet over there."

Seeing that Aurora wanted to say something more, Viper added calmly, "Also, have you forgotten what Luche's ability is?"

"You should worry more about yourself."

The player, who had forgotten everything and was easily angered by Muzan Kibutsuji, said: "..."

"That's right, Aurora, don't be distracted and focus on your own battle." Reborn, Lal Milch and Feng also came over.

"Reborn? And Lar...Ah!" Before the player had time to reminisce about the past, he was almost hit by Muzan Kibutsuji's whip because of distraction.

Although it is unknown why the Ghost King BOSS is so emotional and even uses the whip a little hastily, players cannot underestimate this top-level BOSS.

"After you understand the situation with Emperor Will, remember to come and help me! I can't handle it!" The player shouted and went to fight the Ghost King BOSS honestly.

**

"Why did you come out?" Viper turned around and asked, "Have you also dealt with the opponent?"

"No." Reborn was not embarrassed at all. He gestured to Viper to look into the distance - the One Upper Moon, the Two Upper Moon, and the Four Upper Moon were all standing there perfectly fine.

Viper typed a question mark, "?"

"You failed to kill them? Then how did you get out?" Viper was a little puzzled. He was able to come out of that mysterious space only after killing Upper Moon Five Katabawa Kazuya. If he didn't kill the ogre who was his opponent, then how did these people get out?

"Besides, why don't you continue fighting with them?"

Lal Mirchi saw Viper's confusion and explained, "We were able to get out because cracks appeared in the mysterious spaces that trapped us and they split open."

"As for why they're unwilling to continue fighting us..." Lal Milch spread his hands, imitating Aurora, and said, "That's not very clear.

"But their expressions all look a little frightened. Maybe they saw something that scared ghosts?" said Lalmilchi.

"What else do these ghosts have to fear besides the sun? It's not even daybreak yet," the venomous snake sneered.

"Even though he's already a cannibal, he's still afraid of death." Feng thought thoughtfully.

"Hmph, maybe?" Reborn said meaningfully, then pointed his weapon somewhere and said, "Wilde, are you here?"

A moment later...

A voice rose from underground somewhere that Reborn had been targeting. "As expected of Reborn, I thought I was hiding well, but you still found me. Viper was completely oblivious to my presence."

"If you want to die, there is no need to provoke me. Just give me a commission, Emperor Will." The viper casually swung out an indigo flame, which was successfully blocked by the protective shield raised by Emperor Will. However, this also allowed the figure of the green-haired man to successfully appear in front of everyone.

"You're still as greedy as ever, Viper." The green-haired man patted his clothes and said.

"Emperor Weir, what's the current situation in Sunforge Village?" Reborn ignored the secret confrontation between the two and asked directly.

"Everything's fine for now," Welty said as he tapped away on the keyboard. "The village chief of Sunforge believed Luche's prophecy and cleared out the village. Now only a group of young and strong villagers, along with Kronero and Scarlu, are left to defend against the attacks of the ogres."

"Thanks to Aurora's strange props, there are no casualties for now." Willdi pushed his glasses, feeling a bit disappointed and excited. "What a pity! It would be great if Aurora was willing to let me study those props."

The venomous snake was somewhat speechless, "You really are too greedy to remember a fight."

He thinks about Aurora's stuff every day, no wonder she takes care of him every day.

"I am willing to devote myself to scientific research," said Weldi.

"Since you want to study those items, then you should return to Sunforge Village now. Aurora's personality suggests that once she gives away an item, unless it's one-of-a-kind, she'll quickly forget about it," Reborn said. "Aurora's concerns are not unfounded. Besides, your machine is most effective against ordinary ogres."

Once plucked away Aurora's unique venomous snake: "..."

Willdi, who once took the Viper's tool from Viper: "..."

"This arrangement is exactly what I wanted," said Weldi. "But I'm more interested in studying Muzan Kibutsuji right now. If I miss this opportunity, I might never have another chance again."

His eyes turned to the sky.

"From the little prop I placed on Aurora, we can tell you that Muzan Kibutsuji, the man-eating demon, possesses five heads and seven hearts, and these organs can move freely within his body. Furthermore, even if his head is severed, Muzan Kibutsuji can regenerate at a relatively fast rate. He is a very formidable demon ancestor."

"The flames of the Great Sky Flame will not have much effect on the Demon Ancestor."

"As for the question that Viper asked just now, I think I know a little bit." Willdi said this while looking at the computer he was carrying.

"During his fight with Aurora, the Demon King Muzan Kibutsuji transformed his hands into giant arms to absorb the body of Upper Six-Tails, Utaha Aoi, who had been killed by Aurora, in order to quickly recover his severed head."

"The reason why those upper ranks didn't choose to continue fighting with you is probably because they didn't want to experience the same thing as Saoi in the tail song. However, this kind of unspoken tacit understanding is only temporary. Once the Demon King gives the order, they might..."

He wanted to continue, but was stopped by the wind.

"Wait a minute, look at the sky first." Feng seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"What are you looking at the sky for? What's going on up there?" Emperor Weil looked up.

"Aurora's flame... seems to have changed color..." Lal Milch said in confusion, "It seems to no longer be such pure gold..."

"Can flames change temporarily?" Willdi picked up the pen again. He no longer had any thoughts about the props in the Sunforge Village. He was only focused on the strange phenomenon that happened to Aurora.

"..." Reborn said nothing, just watched intently, with a slight curve appearing at the corner of his lips.

**

In the sky, the battle between the player and Muzan Kibutsuji continues——

After the player shouted at the people underground and was almost hit by the whip of the Ghost King boss, the player became extremely alert and determined not to be hit again.

The player held the red knife tightly in both hands, resisting the thorn whips coming from all directions.

"A human without breathing techniques, even if you have the Nichirin Sword, you can't defeat me!" Muzan Kibutsuji roared out of control while swinging his whip vigorously - because the black-haired woman was similar to the swordsman he feared the most for a moment, which made him lose his mind to some extent.

"Breathing technique, what is that?" The player tilted his head in confusion.

The red sword made no sound, but only lit up slightly.

Player: “…”

The player's golden eyes flashed red, and the player seemed to be divinely assisted. The player raised the corner of his mouth to Muzan Kibutsuji and smiled mysteriously, "So, this is the breathing method..."

"Is this the gift I received in that state just now..."

"What?" Muzan Kibutsuji paused, subconsciously took a step back, and asked cautiously.

"I said, so this is the breathing method." The player made a posture that made Muzan Kibutsuji's pupils tremble, and sincerely thanked the Demon King boss who always liked to stimulate players with words.

"Thank you so much, Muzan Kibutsuji. After listening to what you said, I somehow learned the breathing method. Let me demonstrate it to you."

"The experimental prop is your body!"

"Breathing of the Sun: Form One—" The player exerted force with both arms, and swung forward in an arc-shaped attack under the horrified gaze of the Demon King boss, while reciting the last two words.

"Waltz!"
