Chapter 399

"Because the driver this time is not a Servant who has a good affinity with the concept of the ocean, there is a high probability that we will be discovered the moment we enter the enemy camp." Merlin sat at the round table transformed from Galahad's shield and explained the situation to the people gathered in the first carriage, "Even with my illusion as an aid, they will still find us."

"After all, the location of the decisive battle is their position. If it weren't for Miss Amphitrite and Mr. Noah who drove the same train in the past, the chances of being discovered by the enemy would be quite high." Mashu, who was sitting in the seat corresponding to Galahad's name, spread his hands to everyone, "Everyone needs to be prepared to fight the first moment they get off the train - after all, the defense strength of this train is the same as that of the Chalk City, and no attack from the outside can destroy it no matter what."

"Well, in short, while Galahad is still tracking the coordinates of the enemy's formation, let's reconfirm the battle plan - after all, we can't contact the control room from the virtual space, and we can only rely on ourselves from now on." Merlin cleared his throat and spread a huge white paper on the table. "First, let's treat this paper as the ghost's base camp."

"Galahad will drive this train past their borders and stop once the entire train has entered the ghost's base." Merlin used magic to leave an ink spot on the edge of the white paper. "For now, consider this as our landing point. After landing, everyone will get off the train and explore deeper into the area according to the previously decided teams."

"Muzan Muzan will definitely not let us push in front of him easily, so splitting up will help save time." Bedivere pointed out, watching Merlin use magic to simulate on white paper the situation of his side gradually going deeper into the ghost town. "After all, the core of this operation is the black gun barrel. As long as we hit Muzan Muzan with one shot, we will win."

"We have already dealt with two upper rank demons." Yagen Toushirou added, "If Muzan Muzan had not made any changes to the Twelve Moons, the most dangerous demons for the Demon Slayer Corps would only be ten. Even if Muzan Muzan had made some changes to the Twelve Moons, there would only be twelve of them. With the currently determined distribution of the actions of the Servants and the Pillars, it shouldn't be a problem."

"However, considering that the decisive battle is in a completely unknown battlefield, the Master has also reminded us that we need to be vigilant against the enemy changing the battlefield space and forcibly dividing our members." Artoria watched Merlin stop controlling the magic and put on the sharp sword at his side that was hidden by the strong wind. "You should have a solution, right, Merlin?"

"Just turn the enemy's position into ours. I went to the carriage of other members of the Demon Slayer Corps to prepare for this magic." Merlin narrowed his eyes and answered Artoria with a smile, "However, considering the safety issue, you may need to control Muzan Muzan's movement trajectory. At least separate that guy from other demons or other people to create a suitable aiming environment for Mashu."

"Before we came here, the medical department threw Muzan Muzan's blood to Miss Ereshkigal and the others for them to look at. Although it is within the scope of the solution, it is still not good." Mashu nodded, paused slightly, and explained to everyone, "According to their answer, the scale of this existence may be larger than the Olympus Mecha God. Muzan Muzan is currently the size of a normal human, and compared to the Mecha God, it is much more difficult to aim at him."

"Then let Sir Bedivere and Sir Trystan go to face Muzan Muzan." Artoria made arrangements for the Knights of the Round Table according to Mash's needs. "Originally, the two of them were not assigned to other combat teams because of their combat characteristics. Now they are separated and are just right for this task."

"In short, the mission objective this time is simple." Merlin waved his hand to eliminate the paper. "Find Muzan Muzuki, and then give him a life-range bullet 'Dead Counter' - and bring everyone back alive. The only difficulty is that everyone must run back to the train on their own feet at the moment Muzan Muzuki dies."

"Because this is a space created by demons, when Muzan Kibutsuji dies, all demons will die, and this space will begin to collapse."

"If anyone can't run anymore, please give them a hand."

"We've arrived." With a slight vibration, Galahad's voice reached everyone's ears, "Get ready to get off the train, the battle is about to begin - there are more ghosts than we thought, please be careful."

"Gao Wenqing."

As Galahad appeared in the first car and took up his shield, Artoria looked at Gawain.

"Holy Sword, draw! This sword is a replica of the sun. The sun flame that burns away all impurities--"

The Sun Knight raised his holy sword and continued to gather magic power in front of the car door to deploy his treasure.

"I opened the door."

Galahad counted the time for the Noble Phantasm to sing, and opened the doors of all the carriages at the moment when Gawain was freed from only his real name.

"The rotating sword of victory "Excalibur Galatine"! "

The group of ghosts outside who were watching eagerly were turned into ashes by the flames as fierce as the sun before they could get on the train. Thanks to the continuous supply of magic power, Gawain's treasure eliminated many of the surrounding ghosts, leaving space for the Demon Slayer Corps to leave the train safely.

"Are you still used to this weight?" Galahad turned around and asked Mashu who was walking behind him through Tanjiro Kamado.

"Although it has not been used for a while, it's okay." Mash jumped from the train to the ground with Ortenaus's mechanical shield. "Merlin will start assimilating this space with the train as the origin. We just need to hold on and move forward. Lord Qingming prepared a special tracking spell for me, which can track the position of Muzan Muzan from here."

"Then let's go..." When he saw some figures, Galahad suddenly paused and turned his face to the corresponding direction, "What are they doing?"

"Gao Wenqing has always been an excellent knight."

Artoria smiled at Gawain, turned around and led a team of Demon Slayers away in a direction that no one had gone to yet, leaving only a group of Knights of the Round Table standing there.

"Of course, I am invincible under the sun!" Gawain posed to show off his muscles under the complicated gazes of his colleagues, but he did not notice that Galahad had walked behind him with a gloomy face.

"It's night now, Mr. Gawain - where did you get the sun?" Galahad quietly put his hand on Gawain's shoulder and asked the Sun Knight sinisterly, "How about telling us? We can change our strategy and tie up Muzan Muzan to get him in the sun."

"In this situation, even in the daytime, Lord Gawain cannot receive the sun's blessing, right?" Mash stood behind Galahad holding Orthenaus' shield, smiling at the Knights of the Round Table who were not doing their jobs. "After all, this is indoors - and the sunlight in the real world cannot fall into the virtual space."

"Also, Sir Lancelot..."

The Knights of the Round Table quickly scattered, and the leaders immediately led a team of Demon Slayer swordsmen to explore in different directions - while Bedivere and Trystan followed Mash and Galahad, and brought Tanjiro Kamado with them, and followed the guidance of the talisman to break into the coordinates of Muzan Muzan.

"...So that's how it is. Is this the most troublesome place?" Okita-kun held the pink-red Nichirin sword in his hand and frowned slightly at the huge cliff that suddenly appeared in front of him. "The space here..."

“It’s chaos!!!”

All the teams that chose different paths discovered the problem in this space at the same time - the interior of this space was just like a set of building blocks controlled by a ghost, whether it was suspended or spliced, these building block-like roads or rooms would even flip over from time to time.

"Let's jump over first." Galahad glanced at Mash. "It shouldn't be a problem to switch spiritual bases temporarily - or I can take you, and Sir Tristan can take care of Tanjiro... Since Merlin said so, we just need to move forward, and let the half-dream solve other problems."

"I'll go there by myself." Mash shook his head and pushed Kamado Tanjiro to Galahad's side. "What is the intensity of the enemy's reaction?"

"...The rift in space has cut off my ability to perceive." Galahad answered Mash and pushed Kamado Tanjiro towards Mash again, "I'll go over and confirm the situation first, and then you can bring Tanjiro over."

While they were still carefully considering their next move, the chaotic space in the darkness changed again - many teams were divided up by ghosts again during the transfer process, and were thrown into different spaces to face different ghosts.

"The city is moving." Galahad stared at the scattered Japanese-style buildings in front of him and said, "Merlin's assimilation speed is not fast enough. He can only ensure that the leaders of each team can find their lost team members as quickly as possible, and that the healing magic is fully covered - if the black gun body is to be used, but this level is not stable enough."

"I understand." Mash nodded, took the initiative to reach out and grab Tanjiro Kamado's shoulder, and tilted his head to warn the boy beside him, "Don't worry about what happens next - until I let you use the Fire God Kagura to load the black gun, don't leave my side, don't act without permission."

"Let's go." Bedivere and Trystan, who were standing at the back, nodded to the three people in front.

"Eh? What are you going to do?" Tanjiro Kamado widened his eyes in surprise, but no one answered him. He could only watch the young knight jump off the broken road in front of him.

"...The previous plan based on Merlin as the core of the camp has failed." Mashu was silent for a moment, and explained to Tanjiro Kamado before jumping, "So the next step is-"

The girl, who was used to carrying people down from high altitudes, brought Tanjiro Kamado to the ground safely on the other side.

Galahad obviously knew what they were talking about before, so he pulled out his sword from the dead demon, turned around to look at Tanjiro Kamado, and announced the answer with a smile -

"It's time for the Grail Knight."
