"Do you have any last words? You still have time to say them."
Muzan raised his head slightly with disdain as he looked at Chika in front of him. Although he was momentarily stunned when he first saw that Chika resembled that man somewhat, Muzan was still a little surprised.
However, once Muzan firmly believes that the man is dead, he says he has nothing left to fear!
Just as he was feeling smug and thinking this, the aura emanating from Chika, who was standing directly in front of him with her head down, suddenly changed, as if she were a completely different person.
"Where is the fun? Where is the interesting? What do you take your life for?!"
These words, which Muzan had sealed deep within his mind, were spoken by Chika. Muzan's face, which had been contemptuous just a moment before, instantly collapsed as he lost control of his emotions, his eyes looking as if an earthquake had struck.
If it were just knowing the phrase, that would be one thing, but why is the tone so similar!
At the very moment that Muzan's pupils trembled, Chinatsu, who was directly in front of him, gripped her Nichirin Blade, which had transformed into a crimson blade, and unleashed the Breath of the Sun.
However, she did not use the Breath of the Sun to attack Muzan, but instead released sword energy to survey herself.
Before Muzan could come up with a solution, a massive explosion erupted, instantly turning their mansion into ruins. Thick smoke, thick with gunpowder, billowed into the dark sky.
With the explosion, everyone in the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters was immediately drawn to it. Regardless of what they had been doing before, they all rushed towards the location of Chika and Muzan.
Muzan, who was directly hit by the explosion of the massive amount of gunpowder hidden beneath the mansion, was now riddled with holes. This attack had caused him considerable damage, forcing him to unleash his regenerative abilities to the fullest extent, frantically regenerating his flesh and blood.
His bloodshot and ferocious eyes were fixed on Chika directly in front of him. Chika was also riddled with wounds, even after she had used her sword skills to create a layer of defense beforehand.
Even though Chika has almost no sense of pain, she clearly felt a strong sense of discomfort in her body at this moment. However, this discomfort did not make Chika feel scared. Instead, it made her show her crazy side.
Although Chika didn't say anything, Muzan's expression revealed his attitude. He gritted his teeth, wanting to quickly return to normal and devour Chika.
He never imagined that the man's successor would be so insane, actually trying to take him down with him by virtue of his ghostly body!
At this moment, both Muzan and Chika were frantically regenerating their bodies, and both were in a state of "serious injury," so they had no time to launch an attack on each other.
As time ticked by, a look of joy appeared on Muzan's face as he watched Chika recover.
She's not recovering as fast as I am!
That's for sure. I am Muzan, the King of Demons, someone who has studied the way of demons for thousands of years. Even if the other party has mastered what I pursue, how could he be my match in terms of regeneration?
His body, which had been riddled with holes, had been repaired on the surface. Muzan grinned crookedly and raised his foot to take a step toward Chika when a meteor hammer came flying from a distance and slammed heavily into his back.
The back that had been painstakingly regenerated was smashed into a large crater. With a grimace, he turned his head to look behind him, only to see that the Stone Pillar, Gyomei Himejima, had already arrived at the battlefield.
He is there, but he is not the only one.
As Himejima Gyomei arrived, the rest of the group rushed out from all directions, centered around Muzan and Chinatsu.
A hint of anger ignited on Wu Can's hideous face. Although he had considered the possibility that this was a trap before he came, the sense of shame he felt when he actually fell into it was hard to shake off.
If his physical condition weren't currently so strained, he believed he could easily kill everyone around him by splitting off a few bone whips.
There's no other way, I can only go into the infinite...
The moment the thought crossed Muzan's mind, he froze, Tanjiro, completely cosplaying as Yoriichi Tsugikuni, "attacked" from behind Chinatsu.
Tanjiro already bore an uncanny resemblance to Yoriichi Tsugikuni. Under Chika's tutelage and guidance, Tanjiro perfectly mastered everything Chika taught him, becoming a high-quality cosplayer who, at first glance, truly resembled Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
Tanjiro, wielding his crimson sword, charged towards Muzan step by step, even their running postures were remarkably similar.
Muzan involuntarily took a step back. If Tanjiro's deception continued beyond a mere "first glance" but a "second glance," Muzan would likely have exploded into countless pieces of flesh and fled.
Just as Muzan was fooled by the high-quality cosplay of Tanjiro, Shinobu Kocho, the weakest of the nine pillars, had already rushed up behind him, in Muzan's perception.
She raised her Nichirin Blade, which had an injection effect, and stabbed it into Muzan's waist with all her might. The liquid, which originally contained wisteria flower poison but now contained the ultimate poison, was injected into Muzan's body.
With a ferocious expression, Muzan raised his arm and sent Shinobu Kocho flying. Fortunately, just as Shinobu was about to crash to the ground, Giyu Tomioka quickly leaped up and caught her in a princess carry-like motion.
"You... are you alright?"
"It's alright, thank you."
Giyu Tomioka put Shinobu down, even though it was such an easy way to gain favor, but neither of them had the time or inclination for it.
At this moment, Muzan gritted his teeth, his pupils trembling like an earthquake, and in a very contorted posture, he stretched out a hand to cover the waist where he had just been stabbed.
He could clearly feel something strange being poured into his body from that attack.
Is it poisonous?
It doesn't seem to be poisonous from wisteria flowers?
Wait, am I getting weaker?!
Even without anyone's reminder, Muzan keenly noticed the changes in his body. He was transforming from the near-perfect being he had always imagined into a "mortal" with only superior physical attributes.
No, absolutely not!
"Nakume!!!"
Muzan gritted his teeth and roared inwardly. Nakime, inside the Infinity Castle, immediately understood. With a gentle pluck of her biwa, all the Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen surrounding Muzan were teleported into the Infinity Castle...
