Back to the Infinity Castle (Continued)

Yushiro picked up the medicine jar in his hand, a conflicted look on his face.

"The effects of this jar of medicine are about the same as the previous one."

Tamayo suddenly spoke up and snatched the medicine jar from her.

"I had Yushiro prepare it."

Upon hearing this, the Scribe remained silent.

He seemed to understand something.

After a long silence, Tamayo continued.

Do you want to use it now?

"It's not the right time yet."

The Scribe shook his head and said.

"It's already night, Muzan and the others should be sending the next wave of demons to find me soon."

"Please keep this safe for me, in case of any emergency."

At this point, the Scribe paused for a moment.

"I'll leave it to you then."

"Good."

Tamayo nodded vigorously and put the medicine jar into her bosom.

"You don't need to be too nervous. Maybe I can just walk right up to Muzan and kill him with one strike."

The Scribe laughed and offered words of comfort.

"Don't worry, Tamayo."

"You should get some rest."

Tamayo sat down next to the Scribe and rested her head on his shoulder.

Koume and the other ghosts wisely left.

They left some space for the Scribe.

Not long after, the sounds of fighting could be heard from not far away.

The sound came quickly and disappeared just as quickly.

The Scribe knew that those were Muzan sent by Muzan.

The appearance of Gyutaro and the others certainly bought them some time.

On the other hand, if their whereabouts are exposed, they will also be targeted by Muzan.

As soon as the Scribe exerted force with his right arm holding the knife, he felt something pulling him.

"Stay with me a little longer."

A hint of tenderness flashed in the Scribe's eyes, and he nodded slightly.

With a thud, he plunged the Nichirin Blade into the ground, then touched Tamayo's head with his only remaining right hand.

"I saw Hakuji."

Tamayo's body trembled slightly, and then she asked.

How is he?

"That kid was really something just now, he even dared to lay a hand on me."

As he gently stroked her, the Scribe spoke.

"He was originally Upper Rank Three, but changed his name to Akaza, but was eventually defeated by Shinri Masato."

"Back in the Infinity Castle..."

Tamayo listened to the story told by the Scribe, her head kept sliding downwards.

Finally, she rested her head on the Scribe's chest.

"Knock knock knock"

The strong, powerful heartbeat made her eyes slightly red.

How she wished time could stand still at this moment.

However, Tamayo did not have this ability.

There was no Scribe either.

After an unknown amount of time, the Scribe gently laid the unconscious Tamayo down.

He gripped his Nichirin Blade once more and walked toward the direction from which the fighting was coming.

Not far away, Gyutaro was fighting a lion-headed demon.

"You're Gyutaro?"

With a swipe of its Lion Demon claws, the air was instantly torn apart.

If Gyutaro hadn't dodged quickly enough, that blow would have been enough to cut him in half at the waist.

"I'm ashamed to hear that you're a subordinate of that human Scribe."

"We are demons, why should we obey the orders of humans?"

"Humans are just food!"

After hearing what Lion Demon said, Gyutaro's eyes reddened.

He could tolerate being mocked, but he absolutely could not tolerate ghosts mocking the Scribe.

"Shut up!"

With a roar, Gyutaro unleashed his Blood Demon Art.

"Circular Slash Spinning * Flying Blood Scythe"

The blood-red scythe spun rapidly, forming a spiral.

It then pressed against the surface of the arm, creating a whistling sound.

"Go to hell!"

With his eyes bulging, Gyutaro swung his arm and slammed it down hard on the Lion Demon.

Seeing this, the Lion Demon didn't fight back and immediately jumped backward.

"You've fallen for their trap, you idiot."

"Snake Hair, make your move!"

At the same moment that Lion Demon dodged Gyutaro's attack, countless slender black figures burst forth from the ground.

Those are countless hairs!

In the blink of an eye, it covered Gyutaro's lower body.

"What is this thing?"

Realizing he had been ambushed, Gyutaro immediately changed his target.

He swung his arm and chopped at the hair on his lower body.

But when the sharp sickle struck the hair, it made a sound similar to the clash of metal.

"So hard."

Just as Gyutaro was surprised, another voice came.

"Gyutaro, this Blood Demon Art of mine was prepared specifically for you."

In the distance, a massive figure suddenly leaped up.

It landed with a thud, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Huh, a toad?"

"It's a frog!"

As the smoke cleared, the true form of the enormous figure was revealed.

It was a giant frog.

Its body is light green, but its tongue is bright red.

There was a ghost on her back, and those words were spoken by her.

The ghost's appearance is similar to that of a human, but its long hair is like a serpent, waving wildly in the air.

Not only that, Gyutaro also saw that many strands of hair had been buried in the soil and disappeared without a trace.

"So it was you who ambushed me!"

"All warfare is based on deception."

The Snake Hair demon jumped off the Toad Demon's back and said with a grin.

"You are very strong; even a lion would not be a match for you in a head-on fight."

"But no matter how strong you are, we still managed to catch you, didn't we?"

"Now, you'd better stay right here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Snake Hair demon's eyes transformed into vertical pupils.

At the same time, the pupils also began to turn yellowish-brown.

"Blood Demon Art * Snake Hair's Gaze"

When those eyes were fixed on him, Gyutaro suddenly felt his body begin to feel heavy.

Looking down, one can see that a large number of stones are starting to appear, beginning from the legs.

Wherever the stone appeared, he lost control of that area.

"A petrifying Blood Demon Art?!"

"That's right, but don't worry Blood Demon Art will automatically dissipate once you're exposed to sunlight."

Snake Hair laughed and mocked.

"By the way, when you're freed from petrification, you'll definitely be exposed to the sunlight."

The Lion Demon and the Toad Demon also burst into laughter, as if they could already foresee Gyutaro's death.

Gyutaro didn't say anything, but struggled with all his might, trying to break free from the hair that was wrapped around him.

Just then, a Flame Slash suddenly appeared.

Before the Lion Demon could react, the slash completely enveloped them.

The scorching flames burned their flesh, causing them to let out agonizing howls.

"This is..."

Seeing that familiar attack, Gyutaro said in surprise.

"The Mister Scribe?!"

"Um..."

With a swift movement, the Scribe appeared before the Gyutaro.

With a swing of his knife, he shredded the bundle of hair to pieces.

"Don't worry about Koume and the others, I've already gone there."

"Once you've recovered, go and protect Tamayo."

"We will enter the Infinity Castle after you have all gathered."

Before Gyutaro could say anything, the Scribe left again.

It burst forth with astonishing speed and plunged headfirst into the "door".

He returned to the Infinity Castle.
