Muzan Has No Demons Left / Not Afraid of Sunlight?

The same move, if used by Shinobu Kocho, would have almost no effect on Doma, because he wouldn't be able to cut off his neck. But Kurotama's blade left his neck barely connected to a thin layer of skin.

Death is so close.

As the Upper Rank Two, he had killed countless Pillar-level powerhouses, but this was the first time in history that he had encountered an opponent of this caliber.

"I'm sorry, Doma, but I don't actually have any Ultimate Move. Every move I make can kill a demon. If you're careless, you'll have to say goodbye to this wonderful world."

Quick!

It's even faster than Shinobu Kocho, and Shinobu Kocho's speed is Doma can't easily handle.

When the final few blows left deep wounds on his body and severed his neck, Doma seemed not to understand why his death had come so quickly.

Shouldn't a pillar be weaker than a demon?

Chapter 183 Muzan is Gone

"Shinobu Kocho, hurry up and deliver the final blow."

Actually, a final blow wasn't necessary, but Kurotama couldn't possibly steal this crucial opportunity for revenge.

After wearing the butterfly costume and easily delivering the final blow, tears finally streamed down Shinobu Kocho's face.

She was smiling.

However, for Kurotama, who had read the manga a long time ago, the emotions he experienced were difficult to comprehend.

This hatred belongs to her alone.

At the same time, in another area.

"Doma is dead."

Muzan, who was struggling to heal his injuries by forming a fleshy callus, was Muzan shaken.

That's too fast. It's only been a few minutes since we entered the Infinity Castle. Considering that Nakime teleported everyone to their location and they encountered the demon, a little while had actually passed. This means that the time Doma has spent from encountering his opponent to now is actually less than 2 minutes.

He died in just 2 minutes?

This is Upper Rank Two.

Muzan is facing the biggest crisis in history.

On other battlefields, most of the time it was ordinary demons harassing the Demon Slayer Corps members. The so-called Lower Rank strength, though seemingly terrifying, was no different from ordinary demons to the Pillars.

As for consumption, that's even less of a concern.

This time, Muzan was truly afraid. He even prevented Nakime from appearing, repeatedly using spatial transformations to separate the Demon Slayer Corps members and create dazzling effects.

But...

It seems that Muzan didn't expect one thing: there was a special variable in the Demon Slayer Corps, namely Su Lin.

There are two people in his clone.

First, the Omni Takanashi Rikka.

Secondly, there is the super-genius scientist Kurisu Makise.

Time and space are intertwined. Through observation, Kurisu Makise inexplicably discovered the source and immediately had Rikku imitate this ability, then sent everyone to the source of space manipulation, which was Nakime.

The so-called laws of space were instead mastered by the weak and omnipotent, something Nakime never expected.

"In theory, as long as the laws allow it, Rikku can imitate any form of power, so Nakime, you no longer have a chance."

Holding a pipa, he played music continuously, but it had no effect on the people in front of him.

Nakime was facing almost all the Pillars at this point, in addition to rising stars like Kanao, Tanjiro, Inosuke, and Zenitsu, so it was only natural that she was killed.

With Nakime dead, Kurisu Makise breathed a sigh of relief, tossed her red hair, and said to everyone, "Let me deduce the position of Upper Rank One again."

"Makase-neechan is amazing!" Love Pillar exclaimed, clenching her small hand excitedly.

"Could you please stop calling me 'big sister'? I'm not that old, am I?"

The person actually controlled by Su Lin was a little unhappy, but now was not the time to waste time, so she quickly took out a pen and, based on the intuition of others, deduced the location of Kokushibo.

"Why not go directly to Muzan?" Love Pillar asked.

"Muzan will definitely try to get Kokushibo to appear by his side, so we will have to face two powerful enemies at the same time."

For some reason, even though the enemy was down to the last bit, Yukino's intuition sensed a distant sense of danger.

In other words, a potential and deadly threat looms over everyone.

But in any case, the current situation is much better than in the Original Work. Otherwise, it would be impossible for everyone to gather together now, and someone would inevitably be left to deal with Upper Rank One alone.

"Never mind, everyone. The enemies we face next are far more formidable than before. So the weaker members should try not to get too close to the opponents. I hope the Stone Pillar and the three Upper Rank Demons will be at the forefront."

Kurotama is capable of killing Upper Rank One, but if they were to actually fight, Upper Rank One's fighting power would be far beyond her capabilities.

After all, this can be considered the strongest after Muzan.

In his previous life, the comic's plot had only reached this point before he transmigrated. Su Lin didn't know what the final outcome would be, but judging from the comic's title, the final result would definitely be the ghosts' defeat and humanity's great victory.

"Alright, everyone, prepare for battle, the teleportation is about to begin."

As the adorable Takanashi Rikka announced the countdown, the scene before us changed once again.

What appeared before everyone was a terrifying demon with six eyes on its head— Kokushibo.

"Kokushibo, whose real name Tsugikuni Michikatsu, Muichiro?"

In the instant she faced him, Yukino revealed a fact that surprised everyone.

"So... the enemy you will be facing is a swordsman who is proficient in the Initial Breath technique."

"I don't want to acknowledge this so-called ancestor." Muichiro Tokito was very unhappy and was about to rush up to deal with the other party, but was grabbed by Upper Rank Three's hand.

"It's agreed that this time we'll send our strongest fighters up."

Are the other pillars just spectators? Of course not, their mission is to launch surprise attacks and cause disruption.

Kokushibo powerful combat weapons, but before unlocking his higher forms, he may not be as strong as the Stone Pillar.

So the Stone Pillar delivered a powerful hammer blow, smashing the opponent's shoulder open.

"Unbelievable, it's human, yet they've reached this level."

Kokushibo said calmly, then suddenly moved and appeared not far away, severing another person's arm with a single slash.

Genya Shinazugawa, a Demon Slayer Corps who can transform into a demon, was preparing to ambush Upper Rank One with his gun, but even the slightest killing intent was enough for the being before him to sense it.

He went straight for the kill, severing Genya's waist.

"It feels familiar, so you're the demon eater? You're still alive even after having your waist cut off. You really do need your neck cut off to die, right?"

"You're fighting us and you still have the nerve to gossip?" The Stone Pillar charged forward angrily, launching another attack.

At the same time, Lower Rank Six also unleashed its Ultimate Move, as did Hantengu, who was killed and split apart by the aftershocks of the battle.

But with so many people, they could no longer gain the upper hand against Upper Rank One.

Because the opponent entered the second form ahead of time, their combat power increased dramatically.

He has no choice but to improve his combat power. The enemy in this battle is beyond his imagination. The interference from just three ghosts has forced him to quickly use wide-range attacks to avoid being hurt.

"It seems I have no choice but to use my full strength."

The Stone Pillar cried out and activated its Demon Slayer Mark, while Genya hoped to obtain a piece of Kokushibo's hair in order to gain his power.

However, Kurotama, who was at the forefront, endured the wounds inflicted by the enemy amidst attacks from crescent blades everywhere, and slashed Kokushibo's neck with a single blow.

"You're ugly right now, do you know that?"

The blade was placed in front of him, its thick, gleaming shape causing Kokushibo to freeze in place for a moment.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Kurotama attacked again, completely severing his neck from his body.

"Think about your past, Kokushibo. Is this what you wanted to achieve?"

It's hard to understand the other party's wavering at that moment. Anyway, in the Original Work, Kokushibo in this way, which was also the last scene of the plot that Su Lin knew.

His collapse was inevitable. If Kurotama hadn't been so eager to exploit his weaknesses, Kokushibo's battle might have resulted in casualties among the Pillars.

And now, the opponent hasn't even been able to unleash their strongest moves.

At this moment, Muzan no longer had any powerful demons at his disposal.

Chapter 184 Not Afraid of Sunlight?

"Upper Rank One is dead too, so next up Muzan. The current Muzan has long since overcome the problem of dying by turning his head, and the only way to hurt him is through sunlight." Kurotama sat on the edge of the suspended walkway, gently swinging her legs.

The Infinity Castle was deathly silent, without a breeze. Although there were other little devils everywhere, most of them had been dealt with as the team members moved around.

In fact, even ordinary Demon Slayer Corps have shown barely passable combat strength. This is the result of special training. For Muzan, the current Demon Slayer Corps can be said to be the strongest in a thousand years, so strong that it makes him fearful and uneasy.

"If we're afraid of sunlight, does that mean we have to delay him until dawn?" Genya had already recovered, said with a black line on his forehead.

"No, she has a way to target Muzan's weaknesses." The Oyakata-sama had been supported by his daughter from behind, spoke weakly. Although death was imminent, he was actually very happy. All of this was brought about by Su Lin. These girls' clones were simply perfect beings. They were kind-hearted and selfless. Even though it was unnecessary, they still devoted themselves to the goals of the Demon Slayer Corps.

If heaven truly exists, then they would surely be welcomed.

"The focus of this battle is Rikku. I separated all the lower-ranking members and teleported them to the ground, so it is we Pillars who will be facing Muzan this time. Rikku's ability contains the sunlight that Muzan fears most, and its intensity even exceeds the amount of sunlight that can reach you."

After saying that, Rikku appeared out of thin air, and a small amount of light emanated from her hand, proving to everyone that her words were reliable.

Even a sliver of light caused the outer skin of the Upper Rank puppet not far away to melt away, so she immediately withdrew her power and revealed her snow-white teeth to everyone. "It's time to show the power of the Evil Eye."

"So you... are all monsters?" The mournful cry clasped his hands together and began to mourn for Muzan. "That pathetic guy has finally met his match. Perhaps this is the true punishment that God has given to Muzan."

"Don't forget the true nature of these girls. In the end, they are all the same person. If you treat her as a girl..." The Serpent Pillar muttered, and it was this sentence that made Tanjiro exclaim in surprise.

"One person?"

"Actually, there's no need to care about this kind of issue. Muzan also uses various identities to blend into different areas. The difference is that he does this more to hide and avoid the pursuit of the Demon Slayer Corps. This shows that he is afraid of us and doesn't even have the courage to show himself openly."

Shinobu Kocho is very happy now. Doma is dead, and her great revenge has been achieved. Now, even if Su Lin asks her to go through fire and water, she wouldn't mind.

Many people may not realize that, without their knowledge, Su Lin and his clones have become the most important part of the Demon Slayer Corps.

"Well then, without further ado, I will teleport everyone to the vicinity of Muzan. And once you enter, I will activate a continuous burst of intense sunlight, the intensity of which is at least several times that of normal sunlight. Not to mention demons, even humans would suffer greatly if exposed to it for too long."

"Muzan would Muzan die instantly from that kind of light, right?" Love Pillar remarked.

In the Original Work, Muzan was even afraid of ordinary sunlight.

"I'm not sure." Kurotama shook his head.

Without having read the final volume of the manga, anything is possible. Let's not even talk about the possibility that this world wasn't derived from the anime plot, but rather something someone imagined based on Demon Slayer; in that case, discrepancies in crucial parts would be perfectly understandable.

It is always best to be cautious in everything you do.

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding scenery began to change. In an instant, the members of the Demon Slayer Corps appeared around a suspended cocoon of flesh.

The corridors, layer upon layer, surrounded the fleshy cocoon, and everyone around them stared in shock at the eerie, pulsating entity.

The next moment, an unbelievably blinding light enveloped the entire arena.

Large-scale, continuous weather technology activated.

Ironically, many Pokémon in the Pokémon World possess the ability to use sunlight. Does this mean that ordinary Pokémon can easily defeat demons from the Demon Slayer World in terms of combat power?

A mournful howl came from Muzan's fleshy cocoon, and then a figure jumped out from it.

"Sunshine! Sunshine! You..."

Pain and fear overwhelmed Rikku, who further concentrated her light to amplify her energy, turning it into a powerful beam that bombarded her opponent.

However, Muzan soon burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, you didn't expect that, did you? I actually broke free from the shackles of sunlight a long time ago."

Although the epidermis is still melting, this is not due to the restraining effect of light, but purely due to high temperature.

Rikku frowned, and the hearts of those around her sank.

"Just recently, a girl I turned into a demon, like Nezuko, gained the power to be immune to sunlight. After eating her, I gained the power to be immune to sunlight. If you had come a few minutes earlier, before my body had fully absorbed and digested this power, I might have been killed by your power."

Takanashi Rikka with Muzan and hateful eyes, a physical fear rising in her heart.

"Not afraid of sunlight, then wouldn't that mean... invincible?" Zenitsu Agatsuma immediately broke into a sob.

"So, hesitation leads to defeat?"

Just a few minutes short, Kurotama rubbed his temples and began to consider how to completely get rid of this deadly thing.
