The Mad A-Yu

Before the boss could get close, Scribe kicked him to the ground.

He immediately grabbed the other person's wrist and twisted it forcefully.

Amidst the crisp sound of bones cracking, the boss's arms were twisted into irregular shapes.

With a flick of his wrists, two kitchen knives appeared in the Scribe's hands.

He stabbed downwards fiercely, one blade piercing the heart, the other striking the neck.

As blood spurted out, a dark shadow suddenly leaped from the boss's head and pounced on the Scribe.

Before the dark figure could even touch the Scribe, the Nichirin Blade sliced him into pieces.

"Is there a brain food clone here too?"

After a brief moment of doubt, the Scribe suddenly thought of a possibility.

"So that's how it is. Have I already entered the battlefield?"

Outside, pairs of scarlet eyes kept appearing.

In the blink of an eye, it had spread throughout the entire street.

Chapter 596 The Mad Ayu

"Kill him!"

One of the parasites roared.

"By order of Lord Yu, we will exterminate the remnants of the Demon Slayer Corps!"

The remaining parasites shouted similar slogans and rushed madly toward the Scribe.

The sound spread further and further, and civilians on the outskirts of the battlefield who heard it all showed expressions of astonishment.

"What?! Remnants of the Demon Slayer Corps?!"

"Run! The Demon Slayer Corps is coming!"

"What's the panic? Didn't you hear that His Highness Ayu has already sent people?"

Upon hearing this, the civilians paused in their tracks.

"You're right, but..."

"But what?"

"I always felt that there was something strange about those soldiers."

"What are you saying? You should believe those soldiers!"

Soon, the common people split into two factions.

One faction believed in Ah Yu and his soldiers, and planned to go home and wait for good news.

The other group didn't believe anyone and prepared to pack their bags and leave Kamikawa Prefecture.

As time went on, the escape faction gradually suppressed the trust faction.

Because more and more people have noticed this point.

The soldiers under Ayu's command don't seem to be normal people.

Someone witnessed a soldier with a severed arm picking up his severed arm with a blank expression.

After disappearing from the battlefield for a period of time, it reappears.

By this time, his severed arm had grown back.

Some soldiers, their chests nearly blown apart, sought out civilians and asked for help.

Although the civilians were unwilling, they still gave in when they saw the weapons in the soldiers' hands.

After the two disappeared into the alley one after the other, the soldier never came out again.

Instead, it was the civilian who picked up the soldier's weapon and roared as he joined the battle.

Finally, a few brave civilians discovered the truth.

The soldiers under Ayu's command are not human!

Their brains had long since disappeared, replaced by a strange mass of flesh!

The civilians then spread this terrifying news.

But soon, these people disappeared.

Nobody knows where they went.

The message they conveyed with their lives is rapidly spreading to every corner of Kamikawa Prefecture.

"What did you say?!"

When Ayu heard the news, he was so angry that he jumped up from his chair.

"Why? Why were you discovered by civilians?!"

"The plan to change bodies has always been very meticulous."

A soldier standing in front of him shook his head and said with a stern face.

"There will always be someone on guard to prevent it from being discovered by civilians."

"According to the investigation, it wasn't 'I' who was on guard duty that was discovered."

"They are Dichai's men."

With his eyes wide open, A-Yu grabbed the soldier by the collar and said, word by word.

"You mean, Dichai deliberately let those people go, allowing them to spread the news!?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

Damn it!

Feeling a surge of heat rush to his head, Ayu slammed the soldier to the ground.

He stomped on the other person's head, pressing down hard.

One, two, three...

Even as the soldiers' heads were crushed, Ayu's anger did not subside in the slightest.

"Dichai!"

In another room, Dichai was chatting with Tonryoku.

"Sir, is what we're doing really the right thing to do?"

Is there a problem?

With a smile, Dichai answered Tonryoku's question.

"Don't forget why we came here in the first place."

"Since it was A-Yu's mistake, why should we waste our own strength to clean up his mess?"

"So, do you understand now?"

He nodded, but Tonryoku still wanted to say something.

"Without Ayu, the Shinri Family..."

"I have my own way."

Squinting at Tonryoku, Dichai remained silent.

"Is there anything else you'd like to ask?"

"No... that's all."

Tonryoku was a little scared and quickly lowered his head.

He spoke somewhat haltingly, bowed slightly, and then left.

Watching Tonryoku's departing figure, Dichai slightly opened her eyes.

What flashed within was a light containing murderous intent.

Battlefield.

Dodging the parasite's attack, the Scribe grabbed its head with his other hand.

A knee strike to the face was followed by a kick that sent him flying.

Before the parasite could get up, he swung his sword and killed it.

Before the Scribe could rest for even a moment, a ghost leaped down from the rooftop.

Purple claws, coated with deadly venom, lashed out at the Scribe's head.

The Scribe didn't even glance at it before his body reacted.

"Radiant Flower Thrust"

Ring-shaped flames emerged from the blade, forming a shell that enveloped the tip of the blade.

In the blink of an eye, the tip of the knife became like a red-hot branding iron, radiating intense heat.

The ghost's arm couldn't even get close before the moisture inside was baked out by the intense heat.

The ghost was shocked to see the arm, which looked like a dried-up corpse.

"Azure Sky"

With a change of tactics, the Scribe spun around once in place.

He drew a circle with his Nichirin Blade, and a fiery red halo swept outwards.

Anything that comes into contact with the ring of fire, whether it is a parasite or a ghost, is engulfed in flames.

Amidst its agonizing cries, it collapsed to the ground, never to rise again, and turned to ashes.

This scenario has occurred countless times, and countless parasites have died at the hands of the Scribe.

Even so, the parasites continued to flood towards the Scribe.

"Go! Keep going!"

On the outskirts of the battlefield, a soldier dressed as an officer is ordering his men to charge.

At that moment, Ayu suddenly jumped down from the side.

"Your Highness Ayu!"

Upon seeing Ayu's appearance, a somewhat aged man shouted loudly.

"I've heard that the soldiers under your command are not human. Please tell me this isn't true!"

"I have two sons, and they volunteered to join the army to help you defeat the Demon Slayer Corps!"

"Your Highness, please tell me the truth!"

There were quite a few people beside the old man.

They were people who spontaneously organized themselves and chose to believe in Ah Yu.

Upon hearing the old man's call, Ayu paused for a moment, then turned and walked over.

"You want to know the truth?"

"Yes, Your Highness, I know that's absolutely not the case."

No, it's true.

"What!?"

Grabbing the old man's head, Ayu's eyes revealed an unprecedented madness.

"I said, it's all true."

"The news that the soldiers are not human is true."

"Human beings have limits, so I choose not to be human!"

After saying that, Ayu bit the old man's neck hard.
