Meanwhile, Inosuke was running rapidly through the Infinity Castle, searching for the demon that Chinatsu had mentioned controlling it.
This seemingly reckless advance actually incorporates Inosuke's astonishing spatial awareness; with each step he takes, the range he perceives continues to expand.
Of course, he encountered many evil spirits along the way, but this could not stop Inosuke's progress at all.
If one appears head-on, cut it off.
As for the other directions, we can just ignore them; after all, those demons can't catch up with Inosuke running at top speed.
"Not here...not here...not here...Damn it, where is it? I can't just waste the time the boss bought me!"
As time ticked by, but seeing that progress remained virtually nonexistent, Inosuke couldn't help but start to get impatient.
However, he quickly realized what was happening and slammed on the brakes. He then stretched his entire body, took a deep breath through his nose, and exhaled.
No... I need to calm down...
Inosuke reached out and removed his boar headgear, revealing his stunningly beautiful face, inherited from his mother Kotoha, which was enough to make him a top courtesan in Yoshiwara.
He closed his eyes and tried his best to calm his mind, using the reduction in the range of his "Seventh Form: Spatial Perception" as a price to further enhance the accuracy of his perception.
Thanks to his actions, some previously blurry corners in his field of vision gradually became clearer.
Inosuke's thought process is different from ordinary people, but he is not stupid. In fact, he can be very calm in special circumstances.
Inosuke grew up in the deep mountains and was used to hunting prey like rabbits and goats like a wild beast.
However, the process of catching prey is not always smooth sailing. Often, the nimble prey such as rabbits will escape, causing them to lose their position.
But will Inosuke let these prey go?
The answer is... of course not!
Inosuke will continue to pursue until he catches his prey, and at this moment he puts "comrades" and "the demons who manipulate the Infinite Castle" into the prey's perspective.
The fact that you can't find the escaped rabbit doesn't necessarily mean it ran to a very far place; it's more likely that it's hiding in a place that's easy to overlook and well-hidden.
As Inosuke continued his search with heightened perception, the woman sitting cross-legged on the upper deck, deliberately concealing her presence, was finally exposed to his senses.
"finally found you!!!"
Inosuke raised his head and looked at the target he had been searching for so long. He excitedly took a step forward, wanting to jump directly to Nakime's side.
But as Inosuke took a step, before he could even leap up, Nakime, who was above him, gently plunging her biwa, caused the ground beneath Inosuke's feet to plummet downwards like an elevator.
This fall led to a thousand-meter-deep abyss!
However, after falling to the ground for five or six seconds, Inosuke managed to climb down using his hands and feet like a gecko.
"Although it startled me, don't think that such a trivial trick can stop me. You female ghost, I'm going to chop off your head!" Inosuke shouted, panting heavily, his head held high.
Nakime above was slightly taken aback. She hadn't expected Inosuke to react so quickly, nor had she expected him to be so good at climbing.
Inosuke said that he had lived in the deep mountains since he was a child. The deep mountains are full of dangers. If you don't have the ability to quickly climb up very tall trees, you can't survive in the deep mountains.
Inosuke took a deep breath and braced himself with his legs again. This time, he successfully jumped and charged straight at Nakime.
Just when Inosuke thought he had it all figured out, a huge building suddenly appeared in the space between him and Nakime, which had previously been empty. Inosuke crashed into it with a loud "bang!"
Inosuke's body plummeted down the slippery building wall, gritting his teeth and shouting angrily as he fell, "Damn it! You just wait, your grandpa Inosuke will be back!!!"
This is Nakime's ability; although it doesn't have any direct lethality, it's unparalleled in its ability to annoy people. Even though Inosuke has found Nakime, taking her head is still no easy task for him...
After Chika finished dealing with Doma, she first adjusted her physical condition on the spot, and then took a step to begin her search.
She immediately thought of Inosuke's method as well. After all, the Infinity Castle has no offensive attributes, so having a stealth feature is understandable.
She narrowed her perception range and further improved her perception accuracy, running quickly within the Infinite City. Soon, a suspicious location was exposed to her perception.
Chika rushed toward the suspicious location without stopping, ignoring the evil spirits along the way.
After all, once Muzan dies, all the demons directly under his command will be wiped out. Only demons like Tamayo and Yushiro, who have broken free from Muzan's control, will be able to survive.
The demons who saw themselves being ignored were furious, but they couldn't catch up with Chika and could only rage helplessly.
Soon, Chika reached the location she sensed. Before she could even stop, the wall in front of her suddenly shattered with a loud "bang!!!"
Chinatsu instinctively slammed on the brakes, and the next second Shinobu Kocho and Giyu Tomioka were sent flying through the gap in the broken wall in front of her.
Shinobu Kocho is behind Giyu Tomioka, who is gritting his teeth and using "Water Breathing - Eleventh Form - Nagi" with his sword in both hands. He is using this move to defend against a long bone whip that is extending from the opposite side of the wall.
Bang! Bang!
Giyu Tomioka and Shinobu Kocho fell heavily to the ground, with a line of blood trickling from the corner of Giyu Tomioka's mouth.
"Yiyong, Shinobu, are you alright?!"
Chika rushed over. No matter how much she could regenerate, it was only for herself. She wasn't a healer or a sorcerer, so she cared more about others than her own injuries.
Both Shinobu Kocho and Giyu Tomioka had multiple wounds, but fortunately none of them were fatal, and none of them had severed limbs.
After a brief inspection, Chinatsu did not breathe a sigh of relief, because this was not the time to relax. She turned her head and looked inside the broken wall, where they saw that their ultimate target, Muzan Kibutsuji, was inside.
Chika took a deep breath, gripped the Nichirin Blade that was gradually heating up and transforming into a crimson blade, and strode quickly toward the space within the broken wall.
