I'm not going to be an Spirit! (Translate)

 The temperature of the air became scorching hot.

As the first spark appeared in the air, like dry wood meeting fire, a blazing flame appeared out of nowhere.

Behind Kotori Itsuka, Ratatoskr and his group immediately retreated and moved to a safe place.

Even if they were not burned by the flames, they would be affected by the aftermath of the subsequent battle.

The Demon King Muzan Kibutsujia nd the Flame Demon Kotori Itsuka, these are the two strongest fighting forces in their knowledge.

A battle of this level is not something they can interfere with.

"Go help the Demon Slayer Corps."

Kotori Itsuka held the Burning Demon Slayer and glanced at her subordinates: "You will only be in the way if you stay here."

Although the words were harsh, Ratatoskr and his companions knew that it was the truth.

Even if they stayed here and wanted to support their commander, they would be powerless.

The five men left through the passages on both sides of the main hall and joined the battle outside.

"You seem very confident." Muzan Kibutsuji narrowed his eyes, "What makes you think that you can kill me by yourself?"

"Of course it's because..."

Kotori Itsuka chuckled and instantly exerted force with her feet.

"I'm stronger than you!"

The whole person rushed out like a cannonball, the red axe blade exuded an aura that could melt everything, and went straight into Muzan Kibutsuji neck.

Feeling the oncoming heat wave, Muzan Kibutsuji kept his expression unchanged and raised his hand slightly.

The next moment, countless deformed flesh and blood gushed out from his arms.

The flesh and blood turned into tentacles of various shapes, attacking Kotori Itsuka from different directions and grabbing her tightly.

"You are indeed very strong, stronger than any of my upper ranks." Muzan said indifferently, "But you are still far from being able to deal with me."

So far, Kotori Itsuka record has been very impressive.

He defeated one of the Lower Ranks with one blow, pinned the Upper Rank Six to the ground, fought against all nine pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps alone, and even maintained the upper hand when attacked by the Upper Rank Three and Five.

Even the most arrogant pillar in the Demon Slayer Corps would feel inferior in front of such strength.

However, for Muzan, who has lived for thousands of years and has become increasingly powerful during this period, such a record can only be considered a little bit eye-catching.

"Perhaps in a few hundred years, you will be able to grow to the point where you can pose a real threat to me."

Looking at Kotori Itsuka who was controlled by the tentacles, Muzan Kibutsuji said with a cold face: "But you won't have this opportunity. On my way to eternal life, I will not allow someone like you to appear."

As he spoke, he clenched his five fingers into a fist.

The tentacles that bound Kotori Itsuka also tightened, as if they wanted to squeeze her to death.

Faced with such a situation, she was not panicked at all.

"You are right. With the strength I have shown before, it is impossible to kill you."

Kotori Itsuka tilted her head and asked with a half-smile: "But why do you think that is all my strength?"

The next moment, spiritual power burst out.

With Kotori Itsuka as the center, the manic spiritual power in her body exploded directly, piercing the surrounding flesh and blood tentacles into pieces.

In order not to expose her own strength, she has never used her full strength in any of the battles so far.

Because she knew that Muzan ability allowed him to see what any Demons saw.

The power of the Spirit is undoubtedly extraordinary in this world.

Once his true strength is discovered by Muzan Kibutsuji, he will certainly retreat into seclusion and never come out again.

That's why Kotori Itsuka chose to hide her strength.

He had never even used his spiritual power to its full potential, and had always been fighting using breathing techniques and spiritual power together.

And now, Muzan Kibutsuji was already standing in front of her.

There is no need to hold back at this point.

Feeling the breath rising higher and higher, Kotori Itsuka expression became slightly gloomy.

"It seems that your confidence is not unfounded."

Bone spurs protruded from his body, blood covered his skin, and Muzan aura continued to surge.

The scarlet in both of their eyes had reached its peak.

"bite----!"

The next moment, both of their figures turned into shadows.

The bone spur collided with the axe blade, making a crisp collision sound.

However, the bone spikes that were strong enough to drill through rock and steel immediately cracked into several pieces when they collided, and only resisted for a moment before turning into bone powder.

Muzan eyes narrowed, and dozens of bone spurs attacked Kotori Itsuka from different directions.

However, Kotori Itsuka had no intention of dodging at all. She wielded the Burning Demon Killer with the intention of cutting him in half.

Seeing that the other party was so brave but not wise, Kibutsuji Muzan was delighted.

However, just before the bone spur was about to penetrate her body, it was as if blocked by some barrier, and his bone spur attack could not advance forward even half an inch.

"What?!"

The sudden change shocked Muzan Muzan.

Kotori Itsuka seized this opportunity and chopped off half of his body with one axe.

Blood gushed out, but strangely turned into countless blood arrows, flying towards Kotori Itsuka.

"Puff, puff, puff—!"

Just like before, the blood arrow was also blocked by some invisible barrier and failed to cause any harm to Kotori Itsuka.

"Defensive blood demon art?!" Muzan Muzan couldn't help but think, "But shouldn't her blood demon art be the control of fire?!"

It is natural to have doubts.

Because up to now, Kotori Itsuka has never revealed the defensive capabilities of the Divine Power Spirit Suit.

Even when she was fighting against the Upper Ranks, she just relied on her physical body to resist and never used it once.

Anyway, with the self-healing flame, both minor and serious injuries can be recovered in just a few seconds. Therefore, she has never used the defensive ability of the Divine Spirit Armor and regarded this ability as a trump card.

Because ordinary physical attacks are almost impossible to break through the defense of the Divine Spirit Armor.

Not to mention that the level of Kotori Itsuka divine spiritual suit is A-level.

There is no possibility of breaking through the defense with just bone spurs and blood arrows.

As for Muzan, apart from his strong physical body, he has no other abilities.

That is to say...

From the very beginning, the only path waiting for Muzan was death!

Kotori Itsuka did not hesitate and after her successful attack, she took advantage of the victory to pursue.

The impenetrable protective shield and 100% spiritual power input allowed Kotori Itsuka to immediately take control of the battle.

The mighty Demons King was forced to switch from attack to defense, struggling to hold on under the double attack of the giant axe and fire.

Feeling an unprecedented crisis, alarm bells rang in Muzan heart and he instinctively wanted to call for Nakime.

However, under Dazai Osamu's blood demon magic, not only the demons inside the blood mist were unable to use blood demon magic, but even the demons outside were unable to cast blood demon magic in the blood mist.

At this moment, Infinite Castle has become a decoration.

"Kuroshibo! Douma! Akaza! Hantengu! Gyokutsu!"

Muzan face was grim, and he shouted, "Why did it take so long for just a few humans! Don't hold back! Kill them immediately and support me!"

He finally understood now.

It wasn't that they found Ratatoskr, but that Ratatoskr waited for them.

Tonight's game is aimed at killing him.

Ratatoskr Balrog had intended to play the pig and eat the tiger from the very beginning, and he really fooled him with his excellent acting skills.

He was unable to contact Infinite Castle, and he was caught in a close combat and unable to escape.

And no one knew where the demon who created the blood mist had gone. He was neither by the side of Enma nor joining the battle between the Demon Slayer Corps and the Twelve Kizukis.

Now, the only thing he can do is to hope that his subordinates will get rid of the Demon Slayer Corps that are in the way and come to help him.

Even if his men were unable to break through the Flame Demon's defense, it wouldn't be a problem.

As long as he could hold back the fire demon, he would be able to escape from the fight and leave the coverage of the blood mist.

Once he was out of this strange blood mist, he would be able to reconnect with Nakime.

As long as you can enter the Infinite Castle, the sea will be wide enough for fish to leap and the sky will be high enough for birds to fly.

After hearing the order from their master, the attack of the five upper ranks became noticeably more fierce.

The originally evenly matched forces immediately tilted towards the Upper Rank at a speed visible to the naked eye.

They originally had some thoughts of playing some fun with the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps.

But when they saw that Muzan was in a disadvantageous position and even angrily sought reinforcements, they immediately gave up the idea of ​​playing with him.

"Tsk, even if they can't use blood demon arts, the strength of the upper rank is not something that the pillar-level members can resist."

Looking at the Upper Rank One, Kokushibo, who was using the Moon Breathing to achieve superb skills, and the Upper Rank Three, Akaza, whose martial arts skills had not been weakened much, Kotori Itsuka clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction.

These two guys were killed by the plot in the original book.

One was killed by his own ugliness, and the other recalled his memories as a human and gave up his identity as a Demons.

Once they exert their full strength, any one of them can fight against the nine pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps alone, not to mention that they are now in a group battle.

As for the other Upper Ranks, even if Douma cannot use poisonous ice and Gamatsu cannot summon marine life, their physical strength alone definitely exceeds that of the Pillar-level members, and they can fight one against two or even three without blood demon arts.

Only Hantengu, who was unable to summon a clone, was pinned down and beaten.

"The Demon Slayer Corps is about to lose!"

He also saw his subordinates starting to exert their strength, forcing the Nine Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps and the members of Ratatoskr to retreat step by step. Although Kibutzan was dodging and defending awkwardly, he was no longer panicked in his heart.

He couldn't break through Kotori Itsuka protective shield.

But so what?

Kotori Itsuka attack was equally painless to him.

His recovery speed is so fast that even all the upper ranks combined are not as fast as his.

Even if half of the body is cut off, it will grow back in less than a second.

The flames that surrounded him could not cause any direct damage to him because he was covered in blood.

Even if his neck was cut off, this weakness that would kill most Demons had no effect on him.

Although it seemed that he was helpless and unable to fight back after being beaten by Kotori Itsuka, in fact, he did not suffer much damage.

As long as he can hold on until the battle between the Upper Ranks is over, he will be able to escape from the entanglement with Kotori Itsuka.

"You can never stop my path to immortality! Never!"

In the flames, Muzan Kibutsuji smiled grimly, "I am the one chosen by God, destined to become a perfect creature that is immortal. No one can kill me!"

"Yeah?"

Kotori Itsuka was also smiling.

In the main hall that had completely turned into a fire ruin, the firelight illuminated her cheeks, making her already cruel smile even more charming.

The spiritual crystals that had not yet been completely purified had begun to affect her mind, but her frenzy did not make her weaker, but made her even stronger.

Suddenly, he saw something appear in Kotori Itsuka hand.

It was like a card, but it only appeared for a brief moment and then disappeared immediately.

And the next moment the card disappeared, countless golden musical instruments appeared behind Kotori Itsuka.

In the blazing fire, there is a reflection of breathtaking flames.

The next moment, the unplayed instrument seemed to be moved by some force and produced music that seemed to come from the depths of the soul.

[There's a reckoning a coming]

[And it burns beyond the grave]

[With lead inside my belly Cause my soul has lost its way]

My internal organs are burning because my soul has lost its way.

As the hoarse male voice sounded, it seemed as if the music carried an inexplicable power, causing the aura of Kotori Itsuka to surge again.

Not only that, the music spread like fire and reached the ears of the Hashira and Kamado siblings.

They could feel an external force integrating into their bodies, pushing every aspect of their bodies to the limit.

Power, speed, reaction...

Incredibly, it rose to a height they had never reached before.

Thus, the situation on the battlefield was reversed again.

With the blessing of the March of the Gabriel Songstress, even without the stripes and the transparent world, the fighting power of the Nine Pillars and the Kamado brothers and sisters still increased dramatically.

The pressure on the upper ranks suddenly increased.

The humans who had been suppressed at first suddenly burst out with a force far more powerful than before, and gradually turned the defeat around.

incredible!

[Oh, Lazarus, how did your debts get paid?]

[Oh, Lazarus, were you so afraid?]

The raging flames illuminated the shocked and angry face of Muzan Kibutsuji.

Looking at the fire demon coming towards him step by step, like a real fire demon from purgatory, Muzan felt a deep fear from the bottom of his heart.

He was a person who should have died a thousand years ago but survived by accident, just like Lazarus in the Bible who was resurrected after death because of God's mercy.

When he was born, he was almost abandoned as a dead baby because he was too weak.

Even after he grew up, he was still seriously ill and hovered on the brink of death all day long.

But before he was about to die of illness, he drank a doctor's secret medicine and turned into a Demons. He became a powerful immortal creature and was no longer bound by death.

Having lived in this world as a Demons for countless years, he thought he had escaped the curse of death. However, because he met the man who used the Breathing of the Sun five hundred years ago, he felt the fear again.

And at this moment, he once again felt the same fear as he had a hundred years ago.

It was the fear of death that he had never gotten rid of in his life.

A nightmare that will always haunt him.

"Your judgment has come here, Demons King."

In the raging fire, Kotori Itsukaeyes glowed red, like the open gates of hell.

"Now, it's time to pay back your debts and karma."

The lyrics are from "Blood On My Name", which is more enjoyable when eaten with music.
