Infinite City.
This is the spacetime domain controlled by the Kinokunori, who was once described by the Serpent Pillar as "Although her Blood Demon Art is not very lethal, she is first-rate in terms of annoyance and difficulty to deal with."
That's right, the Infinity Castle doesn't have any offensive capabilities. There are no hidden weapons like traps or grappling hooks in this unique space. Nakime can only manipulate the terrain of the Infinity Castle, but even that is already quite troublesome.
Chinatsu didn't hear the "Nakome" that Muzan was thinking, but if she had, she would definitely have complained that it felt a bit like Illya shouting "Basaka!" in Fate/stay night.
Um... it also feels a bit like Clara yelling "Help me! Mr. Schwarz!" in Starship Troopers.
Despite his desperate attempt to escape, his expression was one of utter self-righteousness.
"What petty tricks! You think you can really outmaneuver me? You think you can really corner me? What a joke! I am the King of Demons! You can all go to hell!!!" Muzan shouted arrogantly with a stern face.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he fled in a panic with his tattered body, and the contrast between his fleeing figure and his bold words just now was quite striking.
"Don't run! Muzan!!!"
Everyone roared in anger as they watched Muzan turn and run away after uttering a harsh threat. However, there was no reason why someone would actually stop running just because someone shouted "Don't run," especially since Muzan was incredibly cowardly.
Amidst everyone's stares, Muzan darted out of their sight. Furthermore, Nakime's alteration of the terrain to deliberately conceal Muzan's location bought him ample time to regenerate his flesh and dissipate the toxins within his body.
Muzan gasped for breath, his body swelling with rage as massive chunks of flesh burst forth, engulfing his original form.
He was not only focusing all his energy on physical recovery, but also trying to break free from the ultimate poison that Shinobu Kocho had instilled in his body.
However, as time went by, after he completely decomposed the outermost layer of the ultimate poison, the "human transformation medicine," the other three truly deadly effects hidden within the ultimate poison were also completely integrated into the depths of his body.
However, Muzan was completely unaware of this at the moment...
As Nakime played her biwa, the swordsmen, including Chinatsu, who had been teleported, appeared in mid-air within the Infinity Castle.
Being teleported to the Infinite City would be fine, but being teleported into mid-air is the most dangerous thing. The intense feeling of weightlessness and wind pressure cause most swordsmen to fall freely downwards.
Of course, falling from a great height is nothing special, after all, the Demon Slayer Corps' Breathing Swordsmen are all superhumans who can jump several meters at a time, so this height is nothing to them.
Chika was a little flustered.
Both Chika and Muzan were hit by the explosion of tons of gunpowder. Even though Chika had unleashed her sword energy beforehand to create a defensive barrier around her body, she was still riddled with holes.
The fleeing Muzan was very weak.
Chika... is even weaker!
This is the weakest I've been since my reincarnation, except for the time when I was brought to the brink of death and unable to move by Muzan at the beginning.
It wasn't that Chika overestimated her regenerative abilities or underestimated the damage from the explosion; she was mentally prepared, but as always, she was still surprised.
With a loud "bang!!!", Chika fell into the floor of the Infinite Castle and landed with a crisp sound.
Chika, panting heavily with her cheek pressed against the ground of Infinite City, got up from the floor in a slightly disheveled state. Just as she was about to turn her head to scan her surroundings and take a closer look at the environment, a series of ghostly screams, comparable to those of zombies in Resident Evil, entered Chika's ears.
One after another, ferocious and irrational demons rushed out from directly above Chika. Judging from their aura alone, all of these demons were of the "Lower Moon" level.
Mass-produced goods...
For Muzan, Lower Moon level demons could be mass-produced, but the Lower Moons that were forcibly mass-produced were all the lowest-ranking among the Lower Moons, having not only lost their rationality but also being unable to use Blood Demon Art.
However, considering that mass production can overwhelm the competition with sheer numbers, these drawbacks can be ignored.
As she watched as ferocious demons appeared one after another in front of her and all around her, constantly approaching her, Chika gripped her Nichirin Blade tightly, breathing slightly heavily.
"It's true that a tiger is bullied by dogs when it's down in the plains. But I'm not so bad as to be bullied by a Lower Moon demon. Even if you were all at the level of a Daki, I wouldn't be afraid, let alone demons like you who were forcibly given the power of a Lower Moon demon."
Chika gasped for breath. Even though her body was riddled with holes, she could still take down any Lower Moon demon with a single slash. It was just that she was wasting her energy on these Lower Moon demons, which would delay the time it would take for her body to fully recover.
Just as Chika was thinking this, amidst the chaotic howls of the demons, Chika's ears heard a series of rather different... howls? Were they human voices?
Under Chika's careful observation, the sounds belonging to the human category gradually became clearer amidst the noisy and chaotic howls.
The next moment.
Bang!!!
The encirclement formed by the ghosts was violently smashed open, creating a gap.
"The pigs are swooping! The pigs are swooping! The pigs are swooping!"
Wearing a boar headgear, Inosuke ran to Chinatsu's side. For a moment when he rushed out, Chinatsu really thought a wild boar was charging at her.
As Inosuke slammed on the brakes and stopped in front of Chinatsu, two streams of air shot out from his nostrils.
"Boss! I'll carry it!"
Inosuke crossed his serrated Nichirin Blades, charged up his energy, and swung them rapidly in all directions, unleashing simple yet powerful sword strikes at the hideous, mass-produced Lower Moons.
"Beast Breathing - Fang of the Fourth Strike - Shattering Slash!!!"
Countless demons were shredded into pieces by Inosuke's slashes. As he slashed, Inosuke laughed excitedly and said, "Hahaha! You ugly monsters think you can get close to Big Sister? You'll have to get past me, Inosuke, first!"
Standing behind him, Chinatsu silently healed her remaining injuries while muttering to herself that she had actually been rescued by a hero, even though this hero was a complete idiot...
The lowest-ranking demons were not a formidable opponent for Inosuke. Once he mastered Total Concentration Breathing, he was already capable of fighting against the lowest-ranking demons. Moreover, he had trained and fought against Tanjiro and even the Hashira, so his strength was no longer what it used to be.
However, there were simply too many of them, and even Inosuke, wielding two swords, was having trouble keeping up.
Just as Inosuke was struggling to withstand the "Demon Wave," Chinatsu, whose injuries had mostly healed, took a step forward and changed her breathing. The color of the Nichirin Blade in her hand also changed accordingly.
"Breath of the Moon - Land Form - Everlasting Night, Lonely Moon - Abyss!"
In an instant, countless crescent-shaped sword energies were unleashed, and all the surging ghosts from all directions were instantly cleaved into dust by these sword energies…
