Chapter 203: Chapter 38 Everyone's Ending
The appearance of Gabriel Songstress once again turned the tide in favor of Muzan, Muzan and the Upper Ranks.
After using the ticket for the Gabriel Songstress, a reward obtained after completing a random mission in the previous world, Kotori Itsuka and her companions all received powerful boosts.
Although we can only use the march, it is more than enough to deal with the current situation.
In the sea of fire, Muzan face had become extremely bad.
In a one-on-one battle, he was simply unable to defeat the fire demon in front of him.
Whether it is strength, speed, or defense, his opponent is always one step ahead of him.
If he didn't have an immortal body, he would have died dozens of times in the battle just now.
His only hope to escape from this predicament is to hope that his carefully selected upper ranks can quickly kill the others and come to support him.
By then, once a six-on-one situation is formed, even if they cannot kill the Fire Demon, they can at least fight and retreat and leave this damn blood mist.
However, after the strange music sounded, the momentum of both the Fire Demon and her companions was obviously raised to a higher level.
After receiving the blessing, the nine pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps and the Kamado siblings, who were at a disadvantage, were able to fight the five Upper Ranks who were fighting with all their strength, and it was unclear who would win for a while.
As for Muzan, the situation is even worse.
He could only defend and dodge awkwardly under the powerful swings of Kotori Itsuka, and now her fighting power soared again, and he was beaten without any chance to fight back.
Muzan Kibutsuji eyes were completely covered with bloodshot.
The fear of death made him completely lose the will to fight back, and he just wanted to escape.
However, how could he possibly escape when he was unable to use blood demon arts and could not contact the Infinite Castle under the command of Kotori Itsuka who had unleashed her full spiritual power?
The Demons King body had been chopped and broken countless times.
The blood covering the body was also beginning to dry up. After being constantly consumed and burned by the flames, the recovery rate was significantly slowed down.
"I won't die here! Absolutely not!"
The handsome face of Muzan Kibutsuji was completely covered with hysterical madness, his veins bulged, his flesh wriggled, and he looked extremely hideous.
He sacrificed himself once again, and at the cost of losing most of his body, he managed to withstand Kotori Itsuka attack. Muzan no longer had any hope in his heart, and ran towards another battlefield.
If his upper rank can't come over, then he will go over there!
Even if the battle between the Upper Ranks and the Demon Slayer Corps is now evenly matched, luring Kotori Itsuka over would certainly lead to the collapse of the battle situation, but this is nothing for Muzan Kibutsuji who has already made up his mind to escape madly.
Even if all five Twelve Kizuki were killed here, as long as he, the Demon King, did not die, he would be able to create more Twelve Kizuki in the future.
The lives of five upper-rank celestial beings in exchange for his own life, this deal is an extremely good deal.
"Want to run?"
She was exerting her full strength to output spiritual energy, but the spiritual crystals that had not yet been completely purified had begun to affect Kotori Itsuka mind.
She entered a frenzy state, let out a long roar towards the sky, and chased after Muzan Kibutsuji with flames.
On another battlefield, others also noticed the two people running towards them.
Seeing Kibutsuji Muzan in such a miserable state, everyone was shocked.
Especially the upper five.
As the subordinates that Muzan Kibutsujivalues the most and has the most contact with, they are very familiar with the strength of this ancestor of all demons.
Even without using the curse, if we simply compare their fighting power, the five upper rank warriors combined still cannot defeat him.
However, such an extremely powerful Demons is now being chased and beaten by a little girl like a stray dog.
There is absolutely no dignity!
But having said that, they can't just sit back and do nothing.
Once Muzan Kibutsuji dies, these Demons who have Muzan cells in their bodies will also die.
So they fought even harder.
However, the Demon Slayer Corps fought even harder than them.
"Stop him! Stop Muzan!" Tanjiro Kamado roared, "We can't let him get away!"
He didn't need to say anything more, the remaining nine pillar-level members immediately burst out with all their strength.
He would even risk injury in exchange for injury in order to suppress the Upper Rank.
At this point, there was no turning back.
If they miss this opportunity, perhaps the Demon Slayer Corps will never have another chance to defeat Muzan Kibutsuji.
The long-cherished wish of thousands of years may finally come to an end today. Every Pillar-level member who has faith in his heart is like crazy, with ferocious expressions like Demons , fighting bloody battles.
Their blood is burning.
"ah------!"
Among the nine pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps, the strongest Rock Pillar, Gyomei Himejima, roared, and a mark like a burn mark appeared on his face.
That's the stripes.
Only a powerful demon slayer can unlock the secret body techniques that break through the limits of the human body and gain greater power at the cost of longevity.
And with the appearance of the first mark holder, more Pillar-level members awakened the marks as if it were contagious.
The Wind Pillar is Sanemi Shinazugawa, the Flame Pillar is Kyōjurō Rengoku, and the Cloud Pillar is Tokito Muichiro.
In just a few breaths, four mark holders appeared.
As a result, the pressure on the Upper Ranks became even greater.
They were bitten tightly by the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps and were unable to support Muzan Kibutsuji.
After the stripes were activated, the Demon Slayer Corps even allocated manpower to block the escape route of Muzan Kibutsuji.
"Get out of my way!"
The mad Muzan waved his arms, and two huge flesh and blood arms appeared instantly, trying to kill the two pillars who were blocking his way.
"Go to hell and repent! Muzan!"
Gyomei Himejima raised his muscular arms and took the attack head-on.
Then he twisted his body and tore off the ugly flesh and blood arm.
"Kotori! I leave it to you!"
At the critical moment, Kyōjurō Rengoku also forgot to conceal his identity.
He drew his sword and cut off the flesh and blood arm, his expression determined.
The two Pillar-level members did not hesitate. After taking Muzan attack, they had no intention of dodging and directly collided with him face to face.
"Crack!"
The sound of bones breaking was heard.
However, Gyomei Hirame and Kyojuro Rengoku seemed to feel no pain and tried their best to stop Muzan steps.
"You guys..."
Anger flashed in Muzan Kibutsuji eyes.
Just when he was about to make the fatal move, he felt a burning sensation coming from behind.
The Burning Demons-Destroying Blade pierced his chest.
He was only blocked for a short moment before Kotori Itsuka caught up with him and severely injured him again.
"Scorching Demons-Slayer Cannon Mode!"
The axe blade pierced through his chest, and two Pillar-level members held his arms tightly, trapping Muzan in place.
Behind him, as the low voice of Kotori Itsuka was heard, the form of the Burning Demon Slayer changed.
The dark muzzle emerged from the axe blade.
And Kotori Itsuka took advantage of the situation and lifted Muzan Kibutsuji directly into the sky.
Terrifying energy gathered at the muzzle, even causing the surrounding air to distort.
In the pitch-black muzzle, crimson energy was aimed at the target.
A cruel smile appeared on the corner of Kotori Itsukamouth.
"boom----!"
As the trigger is pulled, a beam of flame hotter than magma gushes out.
It illuminated the dark forest and streaked across the lightless night sky like a meteor flying in reverse.
The Demons dancer was lifted into the air, and his suddenly shrunken pupils were already covered by flames.
He had nowhere to escape.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
In the dazzling beam of light, everything that Muzan had was slowly being eroded away by the violent torrent of energy.
First came the clothes, then the skin, then the flesh, then the five brains and seven hearts.
Finally, his skeleton.
As the ancestor of all demons, as long as there is a bit of Muzan cells left in him, he can be reborn again.
However, in this all-destroying beam of light, even his self-healing ability could not be faster than the speed of destruction.
His roar and wailing came to an abrupt end.
Under the strongest attack that Kotori Itsuka possessed, a bombardment whose destructive power was at the forefront among all the elf girls' abilities, everything he had turned into nothingness.
Not even ashes were left.
Gyōmei Hirame and Kyojuro Rengoku, who created the opportunity for the fatal blow and assisted Kotori Itsuka in completing the final blow, stared blankly at Muzan Kibutsuji and Muzan who disappeared in the flames, and were unable to recover for a while.
"it's over..."
Kyōjurō Rengoku muscles relaxed, and the tattered Nichirin Sword fell to the ground.
Feeling that the evil aura had completely disappeared, Gyomei Himejima clasped his hands together and tears of joy flowed from his eyes.
Gui Wu died tragically.
The original Demons, the absolute ruler of Demons, the monster that brought disaster to the world, was finally judged and met his end.
The Demon Slayer Corps' thousand-year-old wish has finally come to an end.
"Is that the end?"
Looking at his body torn into pieces, Twelve Kizuki Kokushibo slowly lowered the Nichirin Sword in his hand.
The other upper ranks also felt their bodies collapse, and some had complicated expressions on their faces, while others burst into tears.
If Muzan dies, they will die with him.
As the Muzan cells in the body lost their master, the curse attached to them erupted, causing the Muzan cells to lose their activity.
Without the support of Muzan cells, the demon's body could no longer survive.
In less than ten seconds, the five upper-rank celestial beings present were reduced to ashes along with their master.
Not just winding.
This is true for all Demons in Japan.
The thousand-year-long war between humans and demons came to a perfect end with that cannon shot that pierced the sky.
"We won?"
Exhausted, Tanjiro Kamado sat down on the ground, muttering to himself in a daze.
The successful defeat of Muzan Kibutsuji not only fulfilled the long-cherished wish of the Demon Slayer Corps, but also achieved his goal.
Although he did not kill them personally, he and Nezuko also made a significant contribution in this crusade, which can be regarded as revenge for their dead family members.
His battle ends here.
The battle among all the pillar-level members also ended here.
At this moment, everyone present stood there in silence, as if they thought they were dreaming.
"Kotori?"
As Kyōjurō Rengoku panicked voice was heard, everyone came back to their senses as if they had just woken up from a dream.
Following Kyōjurō Rengoku gaze, they were all stunned.
Because the fire demon of Ratatoskr, the greatest contributor in this crusade, has become transparent at this moment.
It's as if it has lost the foundation of its existence in this world and is disappearing bit by bit.
At this moment, Kotori Itsuka, whose eyes were bloodshot due to the madness, now had clarity in her eyes.
The moment the main task was completed, the system prompt page appeared in front of her as usual.
All negative effects were also cleared when she clicked to confirm leaving this world.
"Kotori..."
Mitsuri Kanroji blinked in a daze, looking between Kyōjurō Rengoku and Kotori Itsuka in confusion.
She had had contact with Kyōjurō Rengoku for a period of time, so she knew that he had a younger sister named Kotori Itsuka.
As if she understood something, she covered her mouth and exclaimed: "Could it be that..."
Some of the pillars also figured out the relationship between the two, and looked at Kotori Itsuka in surprise and confusion.
Ratatoskr Flame Demon is actually Kyōjurō Rengoku sister? !
This guy is hiding too deeply!
However, this is obviously not a good time to ask.
"Kotori, what happened?"
Kyōjurō Rengoku hurried forward and grabbed Kotori Itsuka arm.
But, it only lasted for a moment.
As her body became increasingly ethereal, Kotori Itsuka body completely lost its physical form and turned into a faint shadow.
The evil Demons mask on his face fell to the ground, revealing a helpless expression.
"Brother, I lied."
Kotori Itsuka sighed and said helplessly: "I am indeed very strong, but Muzan is not weak either. It took all my strength to destroy him. Although I am not controlled by Muzan, I will disappear soon because I have exceeded my limit."
"how so..."
After hearing Kotori Itsuka explanation, not only Kyōjurō Rengoku, but everyone else also showed complicated expressions.
They thought it was a victory without sacrifice.
Even if someone were to sacrifice, it would not be the most powerful Fire Demon among them.
But now, Kotori Itsuka has become the only victim.
Every member of Ratatoskr and the Demon Slayer Corps had a more or less sad look on their faces.
"There's no need to feel sad. One man sacrifice in exchange for a big win is something to be happy about."
Kotori Itsuka patted Kyōjurō Rengoku shoulder, as if she wanted to cheer him up.
But her body was almost transparent and could not be seen, so I could only pretend to pat her shoulder.
"I'm sorry for coming into your life without permission and leaving without permission."
At the moment before she completely disappeared, the brutal and ferocious look on Kotori Itsuka mouth had already disappeared.
Instead, there was the same innocent and sweet smile that Kyōjurō Rengoku remembered.
"Brother, live well."
As her last words were conveyed, her body turned into particles of light and completely disappeared from this world.
Only the evil Demons mask and a pair of white headbands were left.
"No need to apologize, my sister."
Staring at the relics left by his sister, Kyōjurō Rengoku picked them up silently, closed his eyes and muttered to himself.
"You will always be a part of the Rengoku family."
