Demon Slayer: The Journey That Began When I Became Yoriichi's Sister

Chapter 413 Let's go a little faster!

Tamayo's medicine was exceptionally effective; Ikuko could feel its damage to her cells as she decomposed the toxins.

This was only a tiny bit digested by Muzan's flesh and blood; if it was this difficult for her to break down, let alone Muzan.

After a night of fermentation, Muzan's body had long been completely eroded by Tamayo's potion.

The flesh on his body disintegrated little by little, and the destruction of his cells even caused Muzan to lose his ability to regenerate, which reminded him of the scene when he was cut by that blazing cinnabar blade.

"Tamayo's poison must be unbearable, right?" Yuko's deformed hand slowly regressed to its original shape, and her long nails also shrank back considerably.

These demonic giant claws are incredibly hard. In terms of sheer strength, Yuko felt they already surpassed the hardness of a Nichirin Blade. Moreover, since they are an extension of a limb, they would theoretically be easier to use than other weapons.

It was just that it was Yuko's first time using it, and she wasn't quite proficient enough yet.

Muzan's expression wasn't one of fear, but it was also anything but calm, filled with anger and hatred.

Just how far will that woman, Tamayo, go in rebelling against him?!

Yuko approached the weapons, flicked her toes, and the two swords flew up and were caught in her hand.

Yuko raised her right hand, the tip of her Nichirin Blade pointing at Muzan: "Continue, Muzan."

Taking advantage of someone's weakness to kill them is always the best option in battle.

As Yuko said, Muzan only overcame the sunlight, not became invincible.

As long as he hasn't broken down the potion that Tamayo used to stop him from splitting, Muzan won't be able to escape from here.

Whether it's Yuuko or the Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen, they will do everything in their power to stop him.

The battle is not over yet.

Faced with Yuko's provocation, Muzan was furious but felt powerless and unable to exert any force.

The damage to his cells, coupled with Yuuko's interference, has put Muzan in a state of internal and external troubles.

After a brief hesitation, Muzan decided to focus his attention on breaking down Tamayo's poison.

Otherwise, if his cells are allowed to continue to disintegrate like this, his physical strength will only deplete more and more, and he will sink deeper and deeper into trouble.

Tsk!

Muzan gritted his teeth. If it weren't for Tamayo, he wouldn't be in such a sorry state.

Muzan never felt that he was weaker than Yuuko on the path to becoming the ultimate life form. After overcoming sunlight, he felt that he was the strongest, even stronger than that monster.

After all, the one who survives to the end is the winner.

However, Tamayo's poison prevented him from exerting his full strength from beginning to end, which made Muzan extremely frustrated.

While Muzan was still trying to break down the poison, Yuko wasn't going to wait for him and charged in with two swords.

The advantage of the dual-wielding style was fully demonstrated at this moment. The frequent attacks forced Muzan to struggle to defend himself, and his fighting style of retreating while fighting also resulted in many of his flesh whips being cut off.

Because he had to focus on breaking down the poison, Muzan's resistance appeared quite weak.

However, Muzan's regenerative abilities are also slowly recovering.

Soon, soon.

Give him a little more time; Tamayo's toxins are almost completely broken down.

"Miss Yuko! We're here to help!"

Tanjiro swung his Nichirin Blade and slashed at Muzan, severing his flesh whip in one strike.

Having realized this, the Pillars, after a brief period of recovery, decided to step forward to help.

After a short rest, their strength was somewhat restored, and they were able to help as long as they could ensure their own safety.

"Yuko...you've worked hard." Shinobu Kocho looked at Yuko with a sad expression.

She had wanted to rush forward for a while, but was held back by her older sister, Kanae.

Using excuses like, "If you rush in now that you're too weak, you'll only make things worse."

Butterfly bitterly hated her own weakness. If she were stronger, Yuko wouldn't have had to go against her own heart and do things she didn't want to do at all.

"It's okay, I'm actually in pretty good shape right now." Yu Zi shook her head with a relaxed expression.

This statement is a mixture of truth and falsehood.

Her physical strength was indeed greatly replenished, but perhaps because she had never eaten flesh and blood before and had been hungry for too long, she felt a sensation of her stomach being irritated after a period of fasting, which was very uncomfortable.

Compared to that, a little discomfort doesn't seem so bad.

Shinobu opened her mouth but didn't say anything more. She turned around and followed the others to attack Muzan.

Yuko did not refuse their kindness. She still had faith in the Pillars' fighting ability. Even Muzan could not easily defeat the Pillars with their Marks activated. Moreover, the Pillars' teamwork was quite good, making it difficult for Muzan to bypass them or even cause casualties.

Under the combined attack of the group, Muzan, affected by the poison, had no chance to resist and was hacked to pieces, becoming unrecognizable as human.

Even so, Muzan's shattered chest was still breathing with difficulty, proving that he was still alive.

"Don't stop! Keep wearing him down!"

With the Nichirin Blade failing, they had no other options.

……

Meanwhile, behind the ruins.

"Meow~"

Chachamaru, carrying a backpack, found Yushiro.

"Chachamaru?" Yushiro picked him up and rummaged through his backpack for a medicine. "This is..."

Looking at the medicine in his hand, Yushiro's eyes widened slightly. His experience of spending hundreds of years with Tamayo made him quickly understand Tamayo's thoughts.

After exhausting Muzan's stamina, should we use a human-reversing drug to turn him back into a human before killing him?

Yushiro didn't know if the plan would work, but since it was Miss Tamayo's plan, he had the courage to find out.

But... these are the last three doses of the human transformation drug.

The development of the human-transforming drug used the cells of many people, including Muzan, Yuuko, Nezuko, and even himself and Tamayo.

After defeating Muzan, Yushiro had no answer as to whether he could still make the human-transforming drug.

Now that things have come to this, there's no point in thinking about it. Rather than turning back into a human, the most important thing right now is to kill Muzan.

Yushiro stood in the shadows behind the ruins, looking out at the ice.

Muzan was increasingly exhausted from being attacked by the crowd, but it was hard to say whether he had reached his limit.

Yushiro dared not gamble. There were only three doses of the potion, and considering Muzan's special nature, one dose might not be enough.

Muzan's current state is the best explanation; the human-transforming drug injected last night has already been broken down by Muzan.

To truly have an impact on Muzan, we must wait until he is completely exhausted.

Yushiro withdrew his gaze and returned to the shadows.

We still need to wait for the right opportunity, and hopefully that time won't be too long.

Enough accidents have already happened. He doesn't know if Muzan has run out of stamina if this drags on, but the Demon Slayer Corps will definitely run out of stamina.

and……

The monk developed the markings in the middle of the night, several hours ago, and the situation is probably not optimistic.

In the past few centuries, only that legendary swordsman has survived past the age of twenty-five.

Please, hurry up!
