The Great Betrayal

"I have no idea."

"Are you sure they were both still alive before you came to me?"

"I have no idea."

"Did you see the bodies of those two people?"

"I have no idea."

He knew nothing when asked, Koyuki felt an unnamed flame rise in his chest.

She wondered how she had ended up with such a fool. For a moment, she felt ashamed that both of them were ghosts of the Twelve Kizuki.

"How come you don't know anything?"

"I have no idea."

Koyuki slapped herself in the face, at a loss for words.

Forget it, forget it. You and I will split up in a bit and flank them from both sides.

"I... I understand."

Just as he was about to say something, Kamuna suddenly realized what he was saying and quickly changed his mind.

Let's go.

With a wave of his hand, Koyuki climbed down the tree first.

Seeing this, the Kamuna hurriedly climbed down the tree and went over from another place.

Sensing that the two creatures were getting closer and closer, the Scribe slowly opened his eyes and looked ahead.

There, Koyuki walked out.

"Lower Rank Four?"

He raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised to encounter Lower Rank Four here.

It seems that the plot has changed quite a bit due to his own actions.

"Human, are you the Scribe?"

Seeing that the Scribe had discovered her, Koyuki didn't hesitate and asked directly.

"Of course, if no one else has that name."

After hearing this, Koyuki glanced at the clothes on the ground.

It was a white kimono, and she knew very well that it was the clothes Rui wore.

"As expected, you've killed my fatigue."

"Not really, I just sent a repentant teenager to meet his parents."

As he spoke, the Scribe suddenly smiled.

"Instead of this, you'd better talk to the guy behind me and not get so worked up."

After saying that, he bent down and picked up a stone from the ground.

Without turning around, the Scribe simply tossed the stone away, sending it flying behind him.

It flew into the grass with a whoosh and then made a thud.

Then, a figure jumped out from the bushes a few meters away.

How did you find me?!

With a shout, Kamuna's face was filled with surprise.

He didn't know how the Scribe had sensed his presence, since he had concealed his aura very well.

"Oh, it's you."

Upon hearing Kamuna's voice, the Scribe turned around and looked back, smiling as he spoke.

"Would you believe me if I said I was just guessing?"

You're bluffing me!

Instantly understanding the Scribe's meaning, Kamuna's face flushed red with anger.

He never expected that he would be tricked out by a human using such methods, and his carefully planned ambush was ruined.

"A scam? I wouldn't call it a scam."

With a shrug, the Scribe continued.

"I just threw a stone afterward, who knew you would get so agitated? I didn't even hit you, and you jumped out first."

Koyuki also looked helpless, staring at Kamuna who had jumped out of his body, as if he didn't recognize him.

With his teeth grinding together, Kamuna wished he could tear the Scribe's body to pieces and swallow his flesh and blood whole.

However, after seeing Koyuki's meaningful look, he managed to suppress his anger.

"Human, you are very strong, so we do not want to oppose you."

He spread his Koyuki and said calmly.

"We just want to live here peacefully. If you can leave now, we can pretend nothing happened."

Upon hearing Koyuki's words, Scribe suddenly laughed, as if he had heard something amusing.

"Why are you laughing."

With a furrowed brow, Koyuki's words carried a hint of anger and wariness.

"It's nothing, I just think the contrast between a ghost saying it wants to live a good life and that is just too great."

He shook his head, and the expression on Scribe's face gradually turned cold.

"Do you think I don't know that demons almost never stick together? The reason Rui was able to form a so-called family is only Muzan him special permission."

"Not to mention."

After a pause, the Scribe then extended a finger and pointed to the Koyuki.

"If you really wanted a peaceful life, why would you activate your abilities?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he stomped his foot hard downwards.

Chapter 283 The Drama of Selling Out Teammates

The muscles in his legs bulged, and tremendous power burst forth from his body, then transmitted into the ground.

"Boom boom boom!"

Starting from the spot where the Scribe stomped his foot, countless circular ravines erupted, sending pebbles and debris flying everywhere.

A crack about the width of a palm appeared, and in the blink of an eye, it reached the feet of Koyuki.

What emerged from the crack was a vine as thick as an adult's arm.

Its body is deep red, with tiny barbs on it.

It swayed freely like a python, and a fishy, foul smell gradually appeared in the air.

This is the ability of Koyuki: it can separate its own blood from its body and manipulate the plants it comes into contact with.

"Blood Demon Art * Blood Manipulation"

While he was talking to the Scribe, Koyuki manipulated the vine, which spread from the ground to his feet.

If given just a little more time, the vines will appear and bind the Scribe within them.

The Scribe's vigilance and perception far exceeded Koyuki's guess, and he easily detected her Blood Demon Art.

"Koyuki's the use of hiding anything?" Kamuna.

"What are you standing there for? Go get him!"

Upon hearing this, Kamuna quickly distanced himself from the Scribe and retreated backward.

Blood gushed from his hands, which he then smeared on some rocks or trees.

Strange symbols were drawn, Kamuna punched them away with force, sending them crashing heavily into the Scribe.

Koyuki wasn't idle either; she manipulated plants to emerge from the crack and wrap around the Scribe's ankle.

Faced with attacks from both sides, the Scribe remained calm and placed his hand on the Nichirin Blade.

The sword was drawn and the strike was executed in one fluid motion.

"Swish swish swish"

Countless lights and shadows appeared, and in the next second, whether it was flying stones and trees or deep red blood vines, they were all cut into pieces in an instant.

"How is that possible!"

Seeing that Scribe easily deflected his attack, Koyuki exclaimed in surprise.

Kamuna, on the other hand, seemed quite shocked, since the Scribe had demonstrated a similar operation before.

After glancing at the surprised expression on Koyuki's face, he revealed a faint disdain.

'Isn't this similar to me? They used to criticize me, but when it comes to themselves, they're not much calmer.'

After giving her a disdainful look, Kamuna turned his gaze back to Scribe.

On the other side, after seeing that the Scribe had neutralized his attack, Koyuki immediately had the idea of retreating.

Although it was just a simple exchange, she could sense that the Scribe in front of her was much stronger than herself.

He's not a Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, so why does he put just as much pressure on himself as they do?

No, it should be above that.

Although the Scribe did not reveal it, the power hidden within that body was enough to kill him a thousand times over.

"Damn it, wasn't he injured when he fought Lei? How could he have such terrifying strength?"

Sweat poured down his forehead as Koyuki's mind raced, trying to find a solution.

Her eyes darted back and forth between the Scribe and the Kamuna, but in the end, she still couldn't think of a perfect solution.

Then we'll just have to go back to our old ways.

Her gaze turned cold, and she then called out to Kamuna.

"You've seen his strength too. Running away is pointless. We should fight to the death!"

Upon hearing Koyuki's words, Kamuna fell silent.

As she said, the Scribe's strength was clearly superior to that of her two ghosts.

If they only focus on running away, no one knows which one the Scribe will chase after.

If they're unlucky enough to be chosen as themselves, then Kamuna will truly have nowhere to turn to cry.

The safest way is to bury the Scribe here.

Thinking of this, Kamuna knew he had no other choice.

"Okay, let's work together to kill him and eat him."

"You go ahead and attack, I'll support you."

As he spoke, Koyuki manipulated the plant and slammed it hard into Scribe's back.

After responding, Kamuna then carved out more symbols.

More stones and tree trunks were thrown out, hitting the Scribe hard in the face.

"Now!"

A glint of light flashed in his eyes, and the rushing plant stopped instantly, instead charging towards Koyuki himself.

The vines wrapped around his body, forming a sturdy suit of armor.

Then, right in front of Kamuna, Koyuki turned around and ran off into the distance.

Frozen in place, Kamuna watched Koyuki run away without looking back, and fell silent.

The Scribe raised an eyebrow and a smile appeared on his face.
