Shaking his head, Ayu replied.
"You're right, we do lack a high-end combat force capable of dealing with the Scribe."
"So I thought, why can't I become that kind of person?"
"So, in order for me to become stronger, you parasites should just die."
Despite Ayu's smiling face, the parasites present all felt a chill run down their spines.
They could tell that Ah Yu was serious.
"Could it be..."
Recalling what Ah Yu had done before, the old man widened his eyes and said loudly.
"Are you planning to use your Blood Demon Art to devour us all?!"
"You got it right."
With a snap of his fingers, Ayu opened his arms and looked up at the sky.
"My Blood Demon Art is called 'Crimson Greed,' which can increase my digestion and absorption speed by several times, or even dozens of times."
"Whether it's flesh and blood, internal organs, bones, or even the so-called secretions, all of them can be used to extract nutrients for their own use."
"Once I devour you all, I'll definitely be able to Upper Rank Goddess, and even rival the Scribe!"
After saying that, Ayu didn't wait for anyone else to think anything and immediately activated his ability.
As his mouth opened wide, an extremely strong suction force came from it.
Several parasites were sucked in before they could react.
In an instant, Ayu's mouth became bulging.
But after he chewed a few times and made a swallowing motion, the food in his mouth slid down his throat.
Finally, it sinks into the stomach, making it stand up high.
But after a few seconds, her stomach contracted and returned to normal.
"That's it, you're done eating?"
His pupils contracted; the old man seemed unable to believe what had just happened.
All demons, whether newly transformed or the progenitor Muzan, eat in the same order as humans do.
Tear, chew, swallow, digest, absorb.
Chewing, digestion, and absorption are the most time-consuming processes.
Ah Yu's Blood Demon Art can clearly accelerate these stages.
This means that as long as Ayu can support himself, he can continue to grow stronger with this Blood Demon Art!
"Run!"
The moment the possibility came to mind, the old man shouted and turned to flee outside.
Meanwhile, the other parasites also ran off in different directions.
We absolutely cannot let Ayu's plan succeed!
"Now that you know my abilities, do you think you can just let me get away?"
With a cold laugh, A-Yu stomped his foot and disappeared from the spot.
When he reappeared, he had already swung his Nichirin Blade at the old man.
"The Stone Yellow Style Secret Technique, boom..."
The old man quickly assumed a driving stance, but before he could launch an attack, Ah Yu chopped off his head with a single stroke.
Then it opened its mouth wide and swallowed the body.
"Ayu, I don't believe your Blood Demon Art has no side effects whatsoever!"
"You talk too much."
Grabbing the old man's head, Ayu expressionlessly threw it into his mouth.
It devoured several more parasites and then began to chew them.
As he continued to consume, Ayu's aura was rapidly increasing.
Although the number of parasites of the Brain Eater is large and their individual combat strength is not bad, they are still too weak for Yu, who has the strength of Lower Rank.
As time went by, Ayu's ever-growing strength attracted the attention of others.
"What's going on with this aura?"
In a certain room, Dichai, who was chatting with Tonryoku, suddenly stopped.
I got up and went to the window to look outside.
At this moment, Tonryoku also sensed something, walked over to Dichai's side, and said.
"My lord, have you noticed it too?"
"Hmm, something's not right. Their strength is increasing too fast."
Dichai responded with a frown and said.
"Just now he was only at the Lower Rank level, but now he's almost at the Upper Rank."
"At this rate, it won't be long before he reaches the limit of the Upper Rank."
"Even if they surpass me, it's only a matter of time."
Tonryoku didn't say anything because Dichai had already said that the problem with his performance was really serious.
"Should I send someone to take a look?"
"A guy who doesn't even have the strength of Lower Rank is just going to his death."
After a moment of contemplation, Dichai said in a cold voice.
"Hold on for another half hour, then let our men withdraw."
"Yes, what about A-Yu? Are we just going to leave him alone?"
"I'm ready to close the net; he's no longer qualified to participate in the next round."
Nodding, Tonryoku then left the room.
Standing by the window, Dichai looked at the battlefield in the distance, a curious glint in her eyes.
"Who on earth has such strength?"
"Ayu, if it's you, then make the most of your limited abilities."
Meanwhile, inside the battlefield.
The Scribe also sensed that aura.
Compared to Dichai, his sense of touch was more sensitive.
"Is this feeling... like the Upper Rank?"
He frowned slightly, somewhat curious as to why a newly born Upper Rank would suddenly appear here.
Just now it was only Lower Rank, not even worth mentioning, but in the blink of an eye, its aura became enormous.
"Hidden strength? No, there's no need for that."
"It is still getting stronger, as if it is accumulating power."
"Moreover, this aura is becoming increasingly mixed."
Besides sensing that the aura was getting stronger, the Scribe also felt that the aura was becoming increasingly impure.
It's like constantly adding ink to a small basin of clear water. Although the volume of water keeps increasing, the color becomes less and less pure.
"Human? Parasite? Ghost?"
With her brows furrowing deeper and deeper, the Scribe could no longer determine what kind of creature the aura belonged to.
Just as he was considering whether to go over and check on its strength, the increase in its aura stopped.
Immediately afterwards, that aura rushed towards them.
"The Scribe!"
A roar came from afar, but in the blink of an eye, the huge figure landed in front of the Scribe.
The dust on the ground was kicked up several meters high, and the air became hazy, making it impossible to see the scene in front of you.
"Ayu?"
The voice in his ear was a little strange, but Scribe could still recognize it as Ayu's voice.
Suddenly, a pair of blood-red eyes appeared in the hazy air.
A hand the size of a door panel stretched out and grabbed forcefully to the side.
The dust suspended in the air was swept aside by the airflow, revealing the true face of its enormous form.
"It really was you, Ayu!"

The Ayu who appeared before the Scribe had completely lost his human form.
Its body was huge and bloated, like a mountain formed by piles of fat.
Dirty filth filled every crevice and gave off a foul stench.
The limbs had long since disappeared, leaving only a few thick tentacles waving wildly.
Only the head in the middle still retains the resemblance to A-Yu.
"How did this guy end up like this?"
The Scribe was not frightened by Ayu's appearance, but rather curious.
Ah Yu always considered himself the future emperor and had extremely strict standards for demeanor and makeup.
And right now, let alone manners.
It's almost impossible to tell that it's Ayu.
"Roar~"
Upon noticing that the Scribe was watching him, Ayu let out a low growl.
A gash appeared in the chest and abdomen, revealing a large mouth.
A tremendous suction force emanated from it, attempting to swallow Scribe whole.
With a frown, the Scribe immediately plunged his Nichirin Blade into the ground.
Lean forward and lower your center of gravity.
The parasites and ghosts among them didn't have his reaction speed.
Amidst continuous screams, it was swallowed up by that huge mouth.
Thick tentacles reached beneath him and tore off several unfortunate parasites that had been crushed to death.
After putting them all in their mouths, they began to chew.
"Delicious, delicious..."
The middle head emitted a happy laugh, and two lines of bloody tears flowed from its eyes.
"I'm getting stronger, and I can keep getting stronger!"
As Ayu swallowed the parasite, his aura reached another peak.
"This is... Blood Demon Art?"
The Scribe quickly realized the cause of this phenomenon, and his gaze darted around, observing Ayu's condition.
"He plans to devour other parasites to increase his strength in order to fight me."
After discerning the other party's intentions, he did not immediately launch an attack.
