Faced with this situation.
The longer it drags on, the more Muzan it will be for them. If Muzan really gets away, then they will suffer a huge loss!
He pondered for a moment.
Asuramaru, who had originally planned to watch the show and reap more Emotion Points, was about to take action himself when a system notification suddenly sounded in his mind!
Chapter 102 Slaying Muzan
[Ding! Akaza was detected to have experienced intense negative emotions before his death. 25,000 Emotion Points have been gained!]
Detected intense negative emotions experienced by Kokushibo before his death, gaining 32,000 Emotion Points!
Muzan Kibutsuji detected, generating intense negative Emotion Points, gaining 30,000 Emotion Points!
A total of 52,000 Demon Power was obtained this time, and 30% of Nourishment will be given back to the sword master!
Upon hearing this system notification, Asuramaru knew.
This time it's a sure thing!
Tanjiro's power, which he had been pursuing, underwent another qualitative change, but the increase was not significant.
Perhaps it has already reached the limits set by humankind in this world!
Even so.
After his upgrade, Tanjiro is now even able to fight Muzan Kibutsuji with his bare hands!
The speed boost from using Thunder Breathing on your feet is getting faster and faster.
It's a ghost!
Why can the speed increase? Were you just playing with me all along?!
Muzan was both angry and terrified at that moment.
It used to be similar to Yoriichi Tsugikuni, but now it feels almost identical to Yoriichi Tsugikuni!
The only difference might be this monster.
It doesn't have that terrifying sword shape!
Muzan continued to flee through the forest, but now eight more bone whips had appeared on the outside of his legs, further accelerating his escape.
And behind him.
Tanjiro sheathed his Nichirin Blade and focused his power on his feet.
However, just as he was about to make his move...
Asuramaru, who was holding the knife, hurriedly reminded, "Wait another hour. The medicine shouldn't have fully taken effect yet. It'll be safest to kill it when it can no longer split!"
Now you need to make yourself appear weak little by little to prevent it from resorting to desperate measures!
Upon hearing this...
Tanjiro agreed, and immediately abandoned his plan to attack, instead following closely behind.
Like the Grim Death God bringing death.
Make Muzan can't shake him off no matter what!
Under the threat of death, Muzan felt increasingly suffocated, to the point that he became unaware of the changes within his body.
But Tanjiro's speed would slow down a little every now and then, giving it a glimmer of hope.
Perhaps it can hold out until this state ends!
Until an hour later.
The medication worked perfectly.
This potion is specially made to suppress Muzan's self-destructing clones; now it's time to kill it!
Asuramaru, hidden within the sword, also offered a reminder.
"Go ahead, Tanjiro! Unleash your desire for revenge!"
"I see!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
Tanjiro held his breath and focused his energy into his legs. He activated Thunder Breathing and moved like lightning, arriving behind Muzan in an instant.
"What?!"
This completely shocked Muzan, who had thought there was still Muzan of hope, but he couldn't understand why he hadn't done so before!
But there was no time to think about it anymore.
It was about to self-destruct and split apart, and one of its arms instantly swelled up.
But the next moment.
But the arm returned to its normal position on its own.
"How... how is this possible? This is... the potion from before? It contained more than just the potion that turned me back into a human!"
Muzan only realized this belatedly.
I've been tricked!
Every step was calculated, and now even its last means of escape no longer exists!
"Hateful..."
Tanjiro had just arrived in front of it, instantly completed his sword form and unleashed all twelve sword forms of the Sun Breathing technique with One-Sword Rakshasa!
Pushing beyond limits.
Everything around us, including the world itself, seemed to have turned gray and white; time seemed to stand still!
Only Tanjiro was still moving slowly.
Until his body could no longer bear it, until blood flowed from his seven orifices and his muscles were torn apart, he poured all his will into this one strike!
Pushing the limits!
Wield the knife with both hands and slash forward!
"One-Sword Rakshasa!"
Asuramaru also pushed his Demon Power output to the limit!
This time.
Muzan seemed to see Yoriichi Tsugikuni charging at Yoriichi Tsugikuni sword once again, looking just as he had always been, unchanged.
Or rather...
This was a strike made a thousand years ago, and it has only now landed on its body.
In an instant.
Twelve sword shapes were unleashed in an instant.
Locked in by the Transparent World, the seven moving hearts and five brains have nowhere to escape!
In contrast, Muzan and wait for his doom.
Instead, it used all its strength to split open a huge mouth from its left shoulder to its right leg, as if it were gathering its power.
Immediately, a violent and turbulent shockwave erupted, a shockwave so powerful that it could even cause human muscles to spasm!
But that didn't matter to Tanjiro now; all he wanted was to kill Muzan right here and now Muzan!
Facing the shockwave, he unleashed this One-Sword Rakshasa!
At the moment of collision.
Both sides were completely engulfed in smoke and dust until the dust settled.
That's how you can see it.
At this moment, Tanjiro's muscles were ruptured and his clothes were soaked with blood, while in front of him was Muzan Kibutsuji had been cut into several pieces.
The brain and heart were completely shattered.
Even so.
Muzan Kibutsuji did not die immediately. Instead, he used his mutilated arm to support his head and looked at Tanjiro standing in front of him.
Perhaps it was because his life was about to come to an end, or perhaps it was because of his unwillingness to accept his fate, but he recalled the words of a former Oyakata-sama of the Demon Slayer Corps.
Only the will can endure.
At this moment, it seemed to have realized something, and suddenly spoke in a deep voice.
"I'm about to die, and I won't have fulfilled my dream until the very end. You call me a monster... but you guys are the real monsters!"
My body is about to perish, but you are different!
You are a monster who inherited the Sun Breathing and has that sword to aid you! Yet even so, you still cannot break through the limitations of lifespan!
Become a demon, and I will give you everything I have. You will fulfill my dream, after all, you and Nezuko share the same blood...
Only you can become the strongest ultimate life form, and become a god!
That's absolutely true.
After all, no one was more suitable for Muzan's bloodline than Tanjiro's family.
When faced with these temptations, Tanjiro simply sheathed his sword, looked down at Muzan who was about to die in front of him, and resolutely refused.
"I won't become a ghost. All I want is to peacefully walk to the end of my life with my family and friends. That's enough for me."
Upon receiving this answer, Muzan was truly bewildered and could only shout in excitement.
"No, you'll regret this later! Accept my blood and become the strongest being, Kamado Tanjiro! You are the chosen one of God!"
No matter how much it shouted and tempted him, Tanjiro remained unmoved, only letting out a soft murmur of relief.
"Mother, Delia, Takeo, Shigeru, Rokuta, I've avenged you..."
Chapter 103 The Curtain Falls
As he spoke, his gaze fell upon Muzan in front of him, whose body was gradually turning to ashes and slowly dissipating.
At this moment, it could no longer maintain its dignity, and its eyes looked at Tanjiro with a pleading expression.
"Wait! I'm begging you! Inherit my will and become the strongest god! Only you can do it! Don't you understand?!"
Only you! Only you can become the perfect ultimate life form!
Faced with the temptation of immortality, Tanjiro simply smiled gently with relief and said, "I'm sorry, but I must refuse."
No... you can't refuse...
Muzan Kibutsuji roared with his last ounce of strength, but Tanjiro remained unmoved, as if immortality meant nothing to him.
It's not even worth mentioning!
Looking back on my life, I have been constantly struggling on the edge of death since birth, and everything I have done has been simply to survive!
But why can't even such a simple wish be fulfilled!
In pain.
His body turned to ashes, and he lost all sensation.
Consciousness plunged into darkness, and all that awaited it was the raging fire of hell that consumed all sins, devouring it completely!
Atone for the crimes I have committed!
Tanjiro watched as Muzan Kibutsuji, who had murdered his entire family, turned to ashes and died, yet he felt no joy at having avenged his family.
Instead, he looked at the Asuramaru in his hand with sincere eyes, his gaze revealing relief and gratitude.
"Asuramaru, I'm truly grateful to you for helping me take revenge. Our contract..."
Before he could finish speaking...
The voice of Asuramaru echoed in his mind, "You gave me a decent revenge, so I'll give you a reluctant compliment."
