A Nichirin Sword for Demons

Manipulating several tentacles, Brain Food gently stroked Niguma's face, as if speaking to his lover.

"I can't wait to find out what it tastes like!"

"No, no!"

His strong body trembled uncontrollably, and tears streamed down Niguma's face as he spoke with a pleading tone.

"I'll give you a third, no, half, as long as you let me go, we can discuss anything!"

"I said I wanted it all."

Hearing the sound of swallowing saliva in his mind, Niguma seemed to know his fate and let out a roar of resentment.

"No!!!"

The next second, countless tentacles surged into his mouth, forcefully opening it.

"Humans are so easy to fool. Just a few scares and they'll open their mouths."

After a laugh, Brain Food squeezed its entire body into its mouth.

His cheeks looked bulging, Niguma's eyes rolled back as he trembled as if he had epilepsy.

Those around who saw this were all filled with horror and fear.

Some of the more timid ones had already knelt on the ground and started vomiting.

Shinri Masato, however, wore a faint smile on his face when he saw this scene.

Before long, Niguma's trembling gradually stopped.

His head was slightly lowered, making his face unclear.

"So, have you found the spot yet?"

"Hmm, this guy is very good at hiding. If you don't know his location, it'll be really hard to find him."

Suddenly looking up, Niguma, his face covered in blood, grinned and pointed to his head.

"But they're all mine now."

A tentacle extended from its mouth and gently stroked its forehead.

Blood splattered, flesh was torn apart.

The moment the skull opened, the brain matter that had previously burrowed into the Niguma's head reappeared in the original location of the brain.

"Every time I see this scene, I think you have a real talent for tormenting people."

I'll take that as a compliment.

"Hehe, how do you plan to get those things back?"

"Aren't these guys the best tools?"

Niguma reached out and touched his face, then clapped his hands and spoke towards the depths of the cave.

"Come out, everyone. Your new bodies have arrived. Hurry up and change."

As soon as he finished speaking, countless footsteps came from the depths.

Within seconds, dozens of figures emerged.

These people included men and women, young and old, and from their appearance, there was nothing strange about them at all.

But Brain Foods is well aware that these bodies have reached their limits.

If it is not replaced soon, the brain food that has lost its "body" will be in an extremely dangerous situation.

"So many? I'm so happy!"

"That's right, that's right, my body is almost rotting away."

"I want that one, don't try to take it from me."

As they chatted back and forth, the eyes of these "humans" were filled with greed and bloodlust.

Noticing these gazes, the men had a bad feeling.

"Could it be that they are all..."

With a series of "pop" sounds, dozens of brain-eating creatures crawled out of the skull, revealing their true forms.

"Let the parasitism begin."

With a slight smile, Niguma pointed at the men.

"Everyone's mind is unique."

The next second, a shrill scream echoed through the silent cave.

Upon hearing the noise, the nearby small animals all fled, as if they had sensed some danger.

After an unknown amount of time, nearly a hundred figures emerged from the cave and formed several orderly groups.

The burly man at the head of the group glanced at the sun overhead and a strange smile appeared on his face.

"Let's go get 'my' things."

With a wave of his hand, the man led all the figures in one direction.

Meanwhile, the Scribe arrived at the next town.

As soon as he stepped inside, he sensed that something was wrong.

Chapter 558 The Nichirin Blade Belonging to the Demon

"It's the same here, there's not a single person here."

Frowning, Scribe looked at the deserted town and fell into deep thought.

If he remembers correctly, there should be quite a few people living here.

But judging from the situation on the street, no one has been here for at least half a month.

The Scribe had witnessed similar scenes no less than five times.

"Is this something Muzan and his gang did again?"

After much thought, this was the only possibility he could come up with.

The Shinri Family's brazen attack on the Hyakuya Family would have been impossible without Muzan 'Muzan approval.

This shows that he no longer hides the existence of ghosts.

With Ayu and Shinri Family acting as inside agents, investigating where these people went became even more difficult.

After a brief assessment, the Scribe's brow furrowed even more.

To his knowledge alone, there are at least 10,000 missing persons.

If we include those we are unaware of, as well as those who were secretly arrested, the total number might be several times higher.

"Tens of thousands of ghosts?"

Just thinking about that scene made Scribe clench his fists unconsciously.

His enemies are not just ghosts.

The fact that Ayu has not yet been found poses a threat no less significant than that of the demonized Shinri Family.

His influence on humans is even greater.

Taking a deep breath and calming herself down, Scribe continued walking forward.

If he keeps going, one day he will find his goal.

He had a feeling that this day wouldn't be too late.

A dark room somewhere.

Ah Yu and Dichai, who hadn't shown up until now, were sitting here, seemingly discussing something.

Behind Dichai stood several familiar figures.

It was Tonryoku!

If Tanjiro and the others saw this, they would definitely make a sound of surprise.

Because the ghosts, including Shiragi- Entertainment District, are now standing here unharmed.

Judging from their aura, they were not only not dead, but had even advanced further.

"Mr. Dichai, your strategy and ability are truly admirable."

Taking a small sip of tea, Ayu smiled.

"Even that lord probably couldn't do something as simple as reviving his subordinates."

"That's not how it works, Your Crown Prince."

With a grin, Dichai extended her finger and shook it slightly, shaking her head as she spoke.

"How can I compare to that lord? He is the Progenitor of Demons."

"But I think that you, with your 'Blood Progeny' ability, are no less capable than that lord."

"Then I will believe you, future His Majesty the Emperor."

"Ha ha."

With a smile that deepened, A-Yu leaned forward slightly and crossed his hands.

"I've almost finished making preparations on my end. I wonder how things are going with Mr. Dichai?"

"Don't worry, everything is proceeding according to plan. We're just waiting for the right time to..."

Dichai paused abruptly, not continuing her story.

But after exchanging a glance, Ayu and he both saw satisfaction in each other's eyes.

"Then I'll offer my early congratulations and wish Mr. Dichai every success."

"Let's have fun together."

He picked up his teacup and clinked it against his ear. With a crisp clinking sound, Ayu sighed.

"But I didn't expect that you would actually do it."

"That belongs to the Demon Slayer Corps; no one else has been able to successfully steal it for hundreds of years."

"I never imagined that in such a short time you could do something that other ghosts could never do in their entire lives."

Dichai shook her head slightly and revealed a mysterious smile.

"I was just lucky."

"Although the Blood Progeny's abilities are strong, they are not enough to support me in completing this plan."

"This is all thanks to the help provided by our good ally, the Shinri Family."

Despite her words of praise, Dichai's tone was full of sarcasm.

There wasn't a trace of gratitude towards the Shinri Family in his words.

"Yes, we also have to thank the Shinri Family for telling us about the existence of brain food."

Nodding, A-Yu also didn't have much affection for the Shinri Family when it came to their name.

He was never satisfied with the actions of the Shinri Family after the Taisho Conference.

Even though Huiren appears to be very compliant on the surface, Ayu knows very well that given the chance, that guy will definitely betray him.

Therefore, one must prepare in advance.

"Speaking of which, how confident is Lord Dichai in dealing with Shinri Masato?"

"I knew you'd bring up that guy."

Having anticipated A-Yu's thoughts, Dichai was well aware that his concerns were not unfounded.

Apart from the real person, the other members of the Shinri Family have all become demons only recently.

They might be invincible against humans.

But for Upper Rank like Dichai, even tying them all together wouldn't be enough to defeat him.
