When Izeshan returned to Avalon, Merlin was concentrating on looking at something and didn't even notice Izeshan walking up to him.

Merlin's light purple, crystal-clear, deep eyes emitted a faint glow, and his white hair fell beside his cheeks, making his face look even more profound and cold.

Ize Shan curiously followed Merlin's line of sight and glanced. As expected, he saw nothing. There was only the sky and grass with flying petals in front of him.

"…What are you looking at? Your expression is so scary?"

Merlin sighed softly, and there was a hint of solemnity in his voice.

"I was looking at Britain and something was happening that I couldn't understand or comprehend."

He retracted his gaze and looked at Ize Shan, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

"Welcome back, you seem to be having a lot of fun, even making Camelot's Illusion Online."

After hearing Merlin's words, Izawa Sugi, who had turned back into an adult, couldn't help but raise his hand to support his forehead.

"Don't mention it. When I was a kid, I forgot about Kurama in the Uchiha clan's territory. Fortunately, Uchiha Tajima opened the Mangekyō. Even if Kurama makes trouble in the future, Uchiha will be able to temporarily control Kurama and make it go away. Otherwise, it would really be..."

When I turned into a child and went to the Warring States Period, I thought I could make friends with Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha and let them enjoy the fun of being a child. But what was the result?

Ize Shan regretted his decision.

He vowed that he would never use the child form again.

Oh, except when he is needed to do something.

"Anyway, the Uchiha clan has the ability to control the Nine-Tails. You are actually leaving a tailed beast for the Uchiha clan, so there is no need to worry about it."

Merlin smiled and comforted Izeshan, then asked casually, "Why was King Uther poisoned to death in your Camelot Online?"

Ize Shan was stunned: "Apart from poisoning him, is there any other way?"

Now it was Merlin's turn to be stunned.

Izawa Sugi said unhappily, "The Camelot Palace is equivalent to King Uther's magic workshop. Attacking King Uther in King Uther's magic workshop? The enemy can't be that stupid."

"King Uther himself is a very skilled fighter, and he has guards around him. It's impossible for the enemy to attack directly with a sword, as that would be too obvious. Since magic and physical attacks are ruled out, the only options are curses and poisons, right?"

"The curse takes a long time to take effect. King Uther also has the protection of the British Isles, which makes him immune to 99% of the curses. If all impossible means are removed, then isn't poison the only option left?"

Although Izawa Sugi was in the state of a child at the time, the logic of his conspiracy was still perfect, and he even left one or two clues. If the Uchiha could expand their vision and see the relationship between the maid group living in the Camelot Palace and the Natural Cult, the Uchiha might be able to stop this conspiracy.

"I also had Merlin in the illusion [remind] King Uther before the toast."

Merlin is the national teacher and the representative of the naturalist sect. Theoretically, it would not be appropriate for him to speak at that time because the archbishop was standing next to him. Why should Merlin call on everyone to congratulate the king?

Merlin jumped out and spoke, which was actually a disguised way of reminding King Uther that there was something wrong with the glass of wine.

"Then Merlin helped the maid cast an illusion on the poisoned wine, and Uchiha passed it up."

Izawa Sugi's move was typical Merlin behavior: he helped both sides.

"Merlin, what you need is King Uther's Dragon Heart. Uther's death is in line with his destiny, so you will not stand in the way of it."

"But you will still be sad when Wu Se dies. You clearly warned Wu Se, but Wu Se still accepted the poisoned wine. I think you will probably be very angry and think that since the Uchiha are so loyal to Wu Se, you should die with Wu Se."

"So in the end you will gather the nobles of Camelot to surround and kill Uchiha."

Izawa Sugi finished explaining the logic of his illusion. "Ah, although it was me as a kid, this setup is still consistent with my understanding of you. There are no major logical loopholes."

Ize Shan looked at Merlin, but saw that Merlin was staring at him. He couldn't help but frowned: "What's wrong? Am I wrong?"

Merlin shook his head, his expression very subtle: "No, you are right. In that case, if it is you..."

The white-haired nightmare groaned for a moment, but still said nothing more. "Wait a little longer, let me observe it again. If I can see it, I won't bother you anymore."

Seeing this, Ize Shan stopped asking and instead mentioned another matter.

"Can you change the settings of your Dream Spirit? The Noble Phantasm is reasonable, but I think there is a problem with the skills."

Merlin looked at Ize Shan with interest: "What do you mean?"

Izawa Sugi's face turned pale: "Can you set it up so that I can use skills other than those mastered by the Lord?"

Every time he meets a Zuzu, he has to teach Flying Thunder God. This is not only difficult for Izawa Sugi, but also for Zuzu.

"Or you can give the Lord a lottery function? Draw some abilities that he doesn't have but I do!"

Izawa Sugi is not only good at ninjutsu, he knows a lot of things! For example, natural magic, mind skills, breathing techniques, swordsmanship, etc.

Not to mention using the large naginata to hit people, Izawa Sugi even had very few opportunities to use swordsmanship. After all, in the ninja world, people often use Taijutsu, Shurikenshoujutsu, and Ninjutsu to fight.

Merlin, who is also a fun-loving person at heart, accepted Izawa Sugi's suggestion: "You're right. The skill settings of the current version of the Dream-Fulfilling Spirit Device are too restrictive for you. It's time to modify them."

It's not convenient for him to have fun.

"How about this? You can use half of the Lord's abilities, and the other half will be randomly drawn from the abilities you have mastered. What do you think?"

“Is there a limit on quantity and skill?”

Merlin: "There is no limit. After you master a new skill, you can also gain another ability. What do you think?"

Izawa Sugi asked another question: "How do you define this ability?"

"Does Hashirama's ability to make friends count? Does Madara's ability to be a sweetheart count?"

Merlin smiled and said slowly, "If you want to include it, I have no objection."

Izawa Sugi laughed and said, "Forget it, let's limit our combat abilities."

Merlin and Izawa Sugi discussed again and redid the skills of the Dream-Fulfilling Elf.

Ize Shan breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to be a math teacher for the next lord anymore. He was happy to help others, but teaching math was not an option!

Izawa Sugi rested in Avalon for a few days. During this period, Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama contacted Merlin through the after-sales service of the Dream-fulfilling Device, saying that they wanted to send something to the next Lord of the Rings.

Merlin held a chakra crystal in the shape of a flower that bloomed like a flame. "Ban gave me a chakra crystal from Kurama."

Izawa Sugi breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Uchiha Tajima had taken control of the Kurama server at home.

"What did Hashirama give?"

"Hashirama Senju combined breathing techniques and wood escape techniques to give me a handbook on the training of immortal arts."

Merlin opened it and flipped through two pages, then burst out laughing.

Ize Shan took it and looked at it. On the trifold note was written: "Use force! Absorb! Spray it all out in one breath! Commit yourself! Grow! Melt into the air!"

Izawa Sugi: “…”

He closed the notebook and said helplessly, "I'm afraid ordinary practitioners won't be able to use this notebook."

Hashirama Senju can enter the state of immortal jutsu in seconds, because absorbing natural energy is as easy as breathing for him, so he dares to absorb it with all his strength, and even release all the natural energy in one breath to form a huge and terrifying escape jutsu crop. But if an ordinary person absorbs too much natural energy, he will turn into a statue in minutes!

Merlin took out two more pieces of paper, "They both left gifts for you, too."

Izawa Sugi's expression became subtle after seeing the words on the paper.

There are two family genealogies. On the Senju side, Izawa Sugi's name is registered under Hashirama's name, and on the Uchiha side, it is naturally registered under Uchiha Madara's name.

Yes, after being named Senju Sugi, Izawa Sugi finally achieved the same success as Uchiha Sugi.

Ize Shan found it a little funny. How many elders had he collected along the way?

But at the same time, he felt extremely warm inside.

Izawa Sugi solemnly sealed the two family genealogies in scrolls and kept them in the space of Tianzhi that belonged to him alone.

“This is a great gift.”

——Compared to the Sharingan that was mixed with time and space ninjutsu, Izawa Sugini would rather have this kind of family tree!

At this moment, Izawa Sugi's heart moved.

"Ah, someone called me again~"

His figure turned into a faint golden light and disappeared from Avalon.

…

During the Warring States Period, in a secluded valley woodland.

Jiguo Yansheng was filled with despair.

As the lord of Jikoku Castle, in order to surpass his younger brother Jikoku Yuichi, Jikoku Iwatsu gave up the position of lord, abandoned his wife and children, and came to the Demon Slayer Corps to learn the secret breathing method and kill evil spirits.

Tsugumi Iwakatsu thought that one day, his Moon Breathing would surpass his brother Tsugumi Yuichi's Sun Breathing, and he would be able to defeat his brother and become the most powerful warrior, as long as he kept practicing like this...

However, things don't always go as planned. Practicing the breathing method to the extreme will cause the user to open the spots, which means that the user's life span will not exceed 25 years.

To open the stripes is to borrow strength from heaven, and to repay it with one's own life and future.

If other swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps do not care about death and only care about whether they can kill more evil spirits during their lifetime, then the goal of Jigoku Iwakatsu is completely opposite to that of the Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen.

He joined the Demon Slayer Corps only to improve his swordsmanship, honing his skills by killing evil spirits in order to defeat his younger brother, Jungoku Yuichiro, one day in the future.

But now this road is blocked, because he has no future, he can only live to the age of twenty-five!

How hopeless! How unwilling! How painful!

Is it possible that his entire life will only be covered by the glory of Ji Guoyuanyi, and will he never be able to escape the curse of his god-like brother?

Just as Jiguo Yansheng's heart was wavering, the Demon-Slaying Sword at his waist was shaking slightly. The next second, Jiguo Yansheng seemed to hear a sound.

"Are you unwilling to give up? Are you in despair? Do you need my help? If so, call me!"

As the sound rang out, a strange glowing formation appeared on the ground in front of Jiguo Yansheng.

Ji Guoyan regained consciousness and took a few steps back. He tightly grasped the long sword at his waist, ready to fight at any time.

The light and shadow faded away, and a man wearing a dark green cloak stood in the formation. It was naturally Izawa Sugi.

Izawa Sugi realized that Tokito Muichiro's bloodline was calling him. Although he didn't know how Tokito Muichiro had a blood descendant, he and Tokito Muichiro were like brothers, so he naturally responded to the call without hesitation.

But after he arrived, he was shocked to find that the one who summoned him was not Tokito Muichiro, the descendant of Schrödinger, but Muichiro's ancestor Jigoku Iwakatsu!

The moment he saw Jiguo Yansheng, Izawa Sugi almost drew his sword and chopped him off on reflex!

You have to know that he was stabbed by Ji Guo Yansheng that year, and that knife cut his heart directly. If he had not drunk all the wine and the sedge had not temporarily achieved extracorporeal blood circulation and barely maintained his life, he would have died at that time.

Izawa Sugi calmed himself down, his eyes flickering slightly, and he noticed that Jiguo Yansheng still had two eyes on his face, not six.

Was he summoned by Jiguo Yansheng, who is still a human?

"…What are you?"

"...Dream-fulfilling elf, you can call me Saber."

This time, Izawa Sugi descended as a Saber of the Demon Slayer. Although his magic power was reduced a bit and the success rate of using secret methods that require rituals such as magic and sealing formations was reduced, his agility, strength and perception reached the peak instead.

For example, now Izawa Sugi can keenly perceive that there is a deep despair hanging over Jikuni Iwakatsu, and that his vitality is draining away at an abnormal rate.

After Izawa Sugi confirmed that Ji Kuniwa was still the person, he felt a little relieved, and then he was delighted.

Huh? Does he have another chance to kill Muzan Muzan?

He subconsciously looked through his skill list.

Because he is a Saber and his lord is Jigoku Iwakatsu, Izawa Sugi's breathing technique and swordsmanship are directly maxed out. However, Jigoku Iwakatsu's marking state is blocked, and Izawa Sugi's inability to activate the marking means that he cannot use fairy techniques.

Ize Shan frowned slightly. If the pattern was not activated, his physical fitness would not be up to the standard of killing the ghost boss.

He quickly checked the skills he had randomly obtained.

Transparent state and Flying Thunder God Technique.

Izawa Shan's eyes lit up after reading it.

Flying Thunder God Technique can make up for the lack of attack speed to a certain extent, and the transparent state of seeing through everything can help, plus the Breathing of the Sun... yes! He can use Flying Thunder God Zangichito to kill Muzan Muzan in seconds!

Oh, by the way, his suzerain is Jiguo Yansheng. Let me first ask Jiguo Yansheng what his dream is.

If Jiguo Yansheng doesn't want to be a human being, then Izawa Shan doesn't mind killing Jiguo Yansheng with one sword!

Killing Heart Gradually ·jpg

When Izawa Sugi was looking at his skill panel, Jigoku Iwakatsu also understood what the Dream-Fulfilling Pokemon Device was.

"Saber? Are you a swordsman?"

Jiguo Yansheng looked deeply at the person in front of him. He slowly drew out his long sword and said, "Let's have a fight."

Izawa Sugi readily agreed.

His understanding of Tsugumi Iwakatsu comes entirely from Tokito Muichiro.

When Tokito Muichiro reached the highest level of practice, he unknowingly fell into the life experience of his bloodline predecessor, Jikuni Iwakatsu.

After waking up from the dream, Tokito Muichiro told the Demon Slayer Corps what he knew. With the help of Tanjiro Kamado's supplement, Izawa Sugi roughly knew the story between the Jikoku brothers.

He even built a Jikoku Brothers-related Demon Slayer dungeon on Greedy Island to hone the Meteor City people's telekinesis skills.

When Tsuchikuni Iwakatsu was the Upper Rank One Kokushibo, Izawa Sugi, Fushigawa Tokimiya, and Tokito Muichiro fought against Kokushibo together.

It's understandable to use force when slaying demons, but now that he has the opportunity to personally experience the swordsmanship level of Tsugumi Iwakatsu as a human, Izawa Sugi certainly won't let it go.

Izawa Sugi drew the Sun Blade from his waist.

When he descended as a saber, Izawa Sugi's staff automatically turned into a Nichirin Sword and was worn at his waist. When Jikuni Iwakatsu saw the body of Izawa Sugi's sword, he was stunned.

Because the words "Demon Slayer" are engraved on the base of Izawa Sugi's sword.

"You...are a member of the Demon Slayer Corps?"

Ji Guoyansheng was confused at first, and then suddenly thought of something.

He flipped through Izawa Sugi's ability panel, and when he saw the breathing method and supreme sword skills, his eyes lit up.

"The breathing method was invented by Yuan Yi. Since you are a member of the Demon Slayer Corps and you also know the breathing method, and I don't know you... Could it be that you are a future member of the Demon Slayer Corps?"

Izawa Sugi glanced at Jiguo Yansheng in surprise. Could it be that Jiguo Yansheng could see through his background at a glance?

Izawa Sugi hesitated for a moment, then admitted, "Yes, in the distant future, I will indeed be the backbone of the Demon Slayer Corps."

Jiguo Yansheng asked excitedly: "Since you are from the future, you should know the result, right? Did I defeat Yuanyi?!"

Ize Shan answered quickly: "No, just dream on. You will never succeed until you die!"

Jiguo Yansheng: "..."

Ji Guoyansheng was completely stunned.

Did he, he actually fail?

"…It must be because of the stripes, right? After the stripes are activated, people cannot live past the age of 25. I died of illness, so I lost to fate…"

He spoke incoherently: "If I were alive, if I could live forever, the sword skills I mastered would not disappear, and would even become more powerful..."

"Then I will definitely be able to defeat Yuanyi!"

"No, even if you turned into a demon, you still lost to Yuichi and died under your descendant sword."

Izawa Sugi gave Jiguo Yansheng a critical hit without hesitation, and then he asked as if he remembered something.

"By the way, the things in my past life are in the past. I am now a dream-fulfilling elf, and you are my protector. Do you have any dreams?"

Jiguo Yansheng stared at Izawa Sugi as if he was an enemy, and suddenly he showed a malicious smile.

"Yes, can you help me defeat my brother?"

Izawa Sugi was silent.

Tsuchikuni Yuichi, Tsuchikuni Iwatsu's younger brother, is a terrifying man who wields the power of a god in human form.

He was born with spots, and can see through everything in the world. He stands at the end of the highest realm and overlooks all living beings. Jiguo Yansheng wants to defeat such a Jiguo Yuanyi. I don’t know whether we should say that he is delusional or that he is stubborn and refuses to give up?

But it is precisely because of his brother's persistent pursuit that Ji Guoyuan has the illusion that "I am an ordinary person" and "I am not a person".

Ize Shan has a headache.

Family members know their own business. He is not a genius, but he has lived longer, has more knowledge, and has richer experience and solution ideas. After spending countless years, he has integrated what he has learned and reached his current level.

"…The man who killed you is your descendant. His name is Muichiro."

Izawa Sugi said slowly: "Muichiro is a genius. He had never practiced swordsmanship before, but when he picked up the sword and began to practice, he defeated countless people in just two months and became the pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps."

Izawa Sugi started practicing taijutsu at the age of four or five and had been on the battlefield for several times. However, he ended up joining the Demon Slayer Corps. Not to mention fighting against Tokito Muichiro, he was beaten up by Tomioka Giyuu, who directly gave him the evaluation that he was not good at swordsmanship.

“In front of truly talented people, hard work is just a lie that mediocre people tell to comfort themselves. Although it may be a bit cruel, it is the truth.”

Ji Guoyansheng was stunned.

His heart was suddenly touched.

Yes, that's right! He understands this feeling too well!

Those who have never felt jealous have simply never met someone who is favored by all the gods.

"All the people with extraordinary talents I met had great ambitions. Some wanted to pacify the world and bring peace to it, or sacrifice themselves and use their death to exchange for a new king who could bring peace and stability in the future. Some even just wanted to go out to sea and leave their hometown to see storms and rainbows they had never seen before."

"They have their own ambitions and missions, and I also have things I can do. They are fighting for their lifelong ideals, and I will do my best to help them."

Izawa Sugi once again looked at Tsuchikuni Iwakatsu.

"You want to defeat your brother, and then what?"

Jiguo Yansheng was a little confused: "What then?"

Izawa Sugi patiently said, "Defeat your brother and become the strongest. Then what? What do you want to achieve after that?"

"Is it because you have never defeated your brother, so you have not thought about the future after victory, or is it that..."

At this moment, Ize Shan raised his head slightly, revealing his face hidden by the hood.

Those golden-green eyes seemed to see directly through Jiguo Yansheng's heart.

"You know deep down that you can't beat him, so you don't think about the future after winning?"

Ji Guoyan's breath was choked.

Under such a gaze, Ji Guoyansheng had an illusion that his soul and all the ugly thoughts in his heart, such as jealousy, hatred, humiliation, resentment... were all torn away from his body and exposed to the scorching sun.

He subconsciously turned his face away, not wanting to look into those eyes that were as piercing as fire.

Izawa Sugi lowered his eyes. He saw the fear and anger rising in Jiguo Yansheng's heart, and felt a little regretful.

Maybe he was exaggerating, but...

As a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, Tsuchiya Gokuni became an Upper Rank One. Over the hundreds of years, how many powerful members of the Demon Slayer Corps and innocent people have died under his sword?

But soon after, Izawa Sugi softened his tone again, saying that it would be a good thing if he could give Jikuni Iwakatsu some advice.

"Do you want to have stronger sword skills than your brother, or simply to defeat your brother?"

People's ideals are varied. They may want to live a better life, have a happy future, get a certain position, marry someone, etc., but Jiguo Yansheng simply wants to defeat his younger brother, as if the reason for his existence is to defeat his younger brother Jiguo Yuanyi.

In other words, Jigoku Iwakatsu has already tacitly accepted that he will never be able to surpass Jigoku Yuichi, so he has spent his entire life practicing swordsmanship and pursuing the strongest.

Ize Shan tried to suggest: "If you just want to become stronger, why do you stay with your brother instead of traveling around the country, meeting the world's masters, understanding the strengths of hundreds of schools, fighting all over the world, and becoming famous?"

If Jiguo Yansheng traveled around the world, he might know that there is such a thing as cannon in the world.

If he had been guided a little more, perhaps Ji Guoyansheng would have turned into a scientist and delved into the research of artillery and weapons in order to defeat his brother?

What? Jigoku Iwakatsu just wanted to defeat his brother Jigoku Yuichi in swordsmanship?

Forget it! If that's the case, what the hell is he doing?

They say that becoming a ghost gives you endless time to study swordsmanship... but Jiguo Yansheng also made full use of the basic qualities of ghosts such as speed, recovery, physical strength, and endurance!

Ghosts can exchange injuries for injuries, but can humans do the same?

Since Jiguo Yansheng doesn't mind turning into a ghost and using cheating methods to defeat his brother, then what's wrong with developing a firearm and shooting at his brother?

"Or do you think your brother is the best in the world and all you need to do is defeat him?"

Izawa Shan weighed his words carefully, "How should I put it? The best in the world is earned through fighting, not just because you think he is."

Although it is true that Tsukoguchi Yuichi is, according to the character of the godlike man in Tanjiro Kamado's dream, Tsukoguchi Yuichi will not take the initiative to provoke a fight because he does not like fighting!

Since Jiguo Yuanyi did not really fight against the best warriors in the country, it is a bit strange that Jiguo Yansheng personally named his younger brother the number one warrior in the country, and then self-centeredly stated that he would defeat his younger brother to become the strongest... This behavior is a bit strange.

"I think your logic is flawed. You can separate being the strongest from defeating your brother."

Izawa Sugi said that one doesn't have to focus on swordsmanship to become stronger, and that Jigoku Iwakatsu could first go on a tour to challenge martial arts halls across the country, "When you finish this tour, if you are still..."

“I don’t have time!!”

Jiguo Yansheng's face turned pale as paper, "I've activated the stripes, I'm going to die!"

"It's okay. If you trust me, you can become a Mimic Servant and don't have to worry about the limit of death at 25."

Ize Shan said calmly: "But once your dream comes true, I will leave and you will die instantly. Can you accept it?"

Ji Guoyansheng's body trembled slightly, he wanted to agree.

But the moment he said this, he hesitated.

If he really defeated Ji Guoyuanyi one day in the future, but died the next second, then all his skills would disappear with his death. Wouldn't that be a pity?

After a long time, Ji Guoyan Shengcai said: "Let me think about it again..."

Izawa Sugi looked deeply at Tsuchikuni Iwakatsu and gave him a gentle, even soft smile.

"Okay, take your time to think about it."
