Encountering the Demon Slayer Corps Again

The man followed Muzan into the dark room and sat awkwardly to the side. Muzan looked at his daughter.

She sat obediently beside her father, not crying or making a fuss.

Muzan looked at the man again, "You go into the inner room first."

The man couldn't help but look at his daughter. Muzan reassured him, "Don't worry, it will only take a few minutes. She'll follow you."

The man nodded and walked into the inner room, looking back step by step.

Muzan looked at the slightly bewildered little doll, "Did you really help your father trick others into being eaten?"

Unexpectedly, the child looked indignant upon hearing this, "You're not allowed to slander the divine lord!"

Muzan: "..."

Brainwashing is really thorough, huh!

"Did you offer sacrifices to your divine lord?"

Honestly, Muzan couldn't bear it and wanted to give the child a chance.

"Of course!"

Seeing her proud look, Muzan sighed, "Don't you think those who were eaten were innocent?"

Although, what he said was also a bit inappropriate...

She retorted indignantly, "They weren't eaten! They went to heaven!"

Muzan: "..."

"Then why don't you go to heaven yourself?"

The little girl: "..."

Can I say I don't want to?

Muzan sighed, stood up, and the opportunity had been given. He wasn't a saint, so he couldn't be bothered to correct someone with a twisted mindset.

Honestly, children aren't necessarily pure and kind. You only need to think about yourself to know if you were pure and kind when you were young.

Muzan looked at the little girl, "Go."

More than ten days passed. Muzan felt like he was being fed constantly every day. What surprised him even more was that none of them were innocent...

This is outrageous!

This person was more "dedicated" than a demon.

But as there were almost no living people left in the town, the Demon Slayer Corps also noticed.

As soon as Muzan sensed the arrival of the Demon Slayer Corps, he tidied up his unfinished book and fled.

Fighting was out of the question. He didn't really want to eat the Demon Slayers; there was no point in fighting.

Before fleeing, he specifically took the little girl who had been helping him for so many days.

The little girl, who had just learned that the Demon Slayer Corps had arrived and was preparing to welcome a beautiful tomorrow, was suddenly snatched up by Muzan and carried away.

Her face was ashen. Would she never escape this demon?

What kind of karma is this!

Why did I have to lie to those two guys back then!

The two demons and one person finally arrived at a dense forest.

They didn't know when they would reach the next place that could avoid the sun, so they decided to spend the night in the forest first.

The little girl was roughly thrown to the ground and cowered by the tree, afraid to speak.

She was afraid of being eaten as food, but following the two evil demons, she felt that even if she wasn't eaten, she would starve to death.

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

Muzan took out a book and leaned against a tree. Jikou was also reading while keeping an eye on the little girl.

According to the adult's intentions, she was indeed food.

However, Jikou couldn't understand why the Demon King would be so accommodating to the Demon Slayer Corps, who posed no threat to him at all.

But he dared not ask.

Because the forest was dense with trees, and almost no light penetrated, the day passed quickly. Muzan looked at the little girl with an expression that considered whether to eat her.

The little girl shrunk back in fear, "Sir! I may not have contributed, but I've worked hard! Spare me!"

Muzan grabbed her, ignoring her pleas. He hadn't intended to let her live anyway.

But before he could act, an arrow suddenly shot out from the forest. Jikou, whose strength had also greatly increased, instantly rushed forward and caught the incoming arrow, warily scanning his surroundings.

Immediately after, several more arrows shot from all directions.

Jikou couldn't block so many arrows at once. Muzan didn't want to get shot and ruin his clothes, so he threw the food in his hand aside and instantly caught all the incoming arrows.

But then, almost the moment he let go of the little girl, a Nichirin Blade slashed horizontally.

The target was precisely his neck!

Muzan's speed was incredible. He took a step back and dodged the swinging blade.

At the same time, he finally saw the attack, which seemed to have special effects. Although there was no Breathing Style yet, the opponent appeared to be a powerful swordsman. The blade reflected light, and the slash left afterimages, like special effects.

Muzan used the momentum to grab the Nichirin Blade's edge. The sharp blade didn't even cut his skin.

Muzan yanked hard, and the attacker almost lost their balance, leaning slightly. They quickly let go of the Nichirin Blade to avoid falling.

But in those few seconds of delay, the little girl had already been rescued.

The Demon Slayer Corps member whose Nichirin Blade was taken quickly retreated, knowing his strength was no match for this demon. He signaled his teammate to quickly run with the rescued little girl.

The little girl, now being carried away, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, I've escaped those two demons!

But before she could celebrate, a figure instantly caught up to the fleeing Demon Slayer and snatched her away.

Shigeru, holding his boss's "food" in his hand, to prevent further accidents, didn't even look at her pleading eyes. He unhesitatingly grabbed her by the neck and crushed it with a single forceful squeeze, killing her instantly.

The Demon Slayer Corps members were instantly enraged. Killing someone so brazenly right in front of them!

Damn demons!

The Demon Slayer Corps members swung their swords in unison, their anger masking their sorrow as they roared and attacked.

But they were, at best, ordinary humans. Shigeru's current strength was at least Lower Rank level. He kicked them away one by one.

However, because of Muzan's request, he didn't use his full strength, only rendering them temporarily unable to fight.

Watching the Demon Slayer Corps members on the ground, roaring that they wanted to kill him but were powerless, Muzan stood to the side and looked at Shigeru. "Let's go."

Shigeru nodded and followed Muzan.

As soon as they were out of the Demon Slayer Corps' sight, Shigeru saw one of Muzan's hands transform into a monstrous, hideous appendage with a gaping maw filled with sharp teeth. It devoured the corpse in his hand in one bite, the chewing sound somewhat chilling.

His hand returned to normal, and he looked at Shigeru.

Shigeru was instantly startled. "M-Master..."

"Master my foot. Let's hurry."

According to Muzan's memories of the original story, Tamayo was the first important demon he turned into a demon.

He wondered if he would encounter Tamayo.

After all, she was a capable person with excellent medical skills and the best support in the original story. It would be best to try and win her over.

Someone like Tsugikuni Yoriichi would probably have to wait another hundred years. He could slowly improve his strength.

He didn't aim to surpass the ceiling, only to outlive him!

He didn't know when Nakime would appear. Without the Infinity Castle, it was too inconvenient!
