Chapter 861: Demon Slayer Conclusion
Chapter 861: Demon Slayer Conclusion
Even though Muzan had long discovered Nezuko's actions, the suddenness of it all, coupled with Butterfly Ninja's full-force obstruction, left him unable to stop her and with no opportunity to interfere.
At this moment, a fully metamorphosed Tanjiro, retaining half his sanity, charged at Muzan with murderous intent, causing his expression to darken.
Tanjiro's face bore clear markings.
His eyes saw through the world.
In his hand, the Nichirin Blade had turned a pure crimson.
His technique was the authentic Breath of Sun.
At this moment, empowered by the strength of the King of Demons, Tanjiro displayed the complete Breath of Sun, with his markings, transparent world, and crimson blade as one, truly catching up with Yoriichi Tsugikuni's footsteps! Tanjiro's figure and Yoriichi's phantom seemed to merge as one.
One sword strike!
Muzan's body was torn apart from the center!
"Ahhhh!"
Muzan let out a painful scream as the feeling of being slashed reminded him of when Yoriichi had cut him all those years ago.
Past memories surged, bringing fear, and his body instantly swelled as he attempted to explode and escape.
"Breath of Water."
"Breath of Rock."
"Breath of Wind."
All the severely injured Hashira struggled to their feet, mustering their last strength to unleash their breathing techniques and sword skills. Attacks rained from all directions, sealing Muzan in along with Butterfly Ninja's interference, leaving him no chance to split away.
This attempt at splitting and fleeing also caused the originally balanced forces within his body to fall into disorder, and his flesh showed signs of collapse once more, turning into wriggling flesh.
Zip! Zip!
Tanjiro's crimson blade mercilessly sliced through.
"Ah! Ahh!"
The wriggling flesh let out wails, wanting to explode, but it was already difficult to do so, as countless vines released by Butterfly Ninja tightly wrapped around it, leaving no chance of escape.
One slash after another.
The pinnacle of the Breath of Sun reappeared in this world, taking away Muzan's vitality bit by bit.
After an unknown amount of time had passed.
Muzan's flesh finally stopped wailing and gradually crumbled, turning into flying ash and annihilating.
Yet, Tanjiro continued his frenzied attack.
"Tanjiro! Tanjiro!"
Rengoku Kyojuro and Agatsuma Zenitsu, among others, all rushed towards Tanjiro, but he had already lost his sanity and started attacking those around him.
It was only at this moment that Butterfly Ninja, who had been on guard, finally took action. Vines pierced Tanjiro's body, injecting a dose of wisteria poison along with medicine to restore his humanity and other drugs.
With this stimulation, Tanjiro's eyes finally regained some clarity.
He struggled with difficulty.
Butterfly Ninja began extracting the demon blood and power from Tanjiro's body, while Agatsuma Zenitsu and the others tightly hugged him from behind, preventing his body from struggling.
Finally.
All the power of the demon was drawn out by Butterfly Ninja, and Tanjiro completely regained his human state, losing consciousness and falling to the ground.
The Wind Hashira and the Rock Hashira, who could barely move, watched this scene unfold with difficulty.
"Finally..."
Sanemi Shinazugawa slowly closed his eyes.
A slight smile finally appeared on his face.
Soon after, Momoshiki's immortal body, Shinomiya, and Ibiki Morino, among others, fell to the ground one after another
Yushiro knelt where Nezuko had disappeared and wept bitterly.
Nezuko herself was now a semi-transparent ghost-like figure that only she could see, floating above and in front of Kanroji Mitsuri and others.
"It's over, then."
Nezuko gazed at the scene below, a hint of relief in her eyes.
Kanroji's voice sounded from behind her, "Yeah, it's over."
Then.
Kanroji pointed, and Nezuko's spirit trembled slightly, regaining a new body.
Feng Ye smiled gently at Tamayo and the others before turning and vanishing from the spot.
With Muzan's death, everything finally settled.
The future outcome was ultimately to his liking. Although Muzan had gained luck along the way, it was no match for Tanjiro's overwhelming halo of protagonist power.
...
Several days later.
"Lady Tamayo, are you really leaving?"
Yuichiro looked at Tamayo before him, hesitating to speak. He had already learned everything from Tamayo, who had 'died and been resurrected'. He knew that Tamayo had fulfilled her promise and was now ready to follow Feng Ye and leave.
Although Feng Ye seemed to be a god in many ways, Yuichiro couldn't shake the feeling that he didn't have Tamayo's best interests at heart.
"Yes, goodbye."
Tamayo nodded slightly to Yuichiro and then disappeared from his sight.
...
In a wooden hut.
Butterfly Ninja smiled warmly at Feng Ye.
She had been looking at him like that for a long time.
Feng Ye glanced at her and said, "If you have any complaints, just say it."
Butterfly Ninja smiled gracefully and replied, "How dare I complain about you? You're a god, and you saved my sister. I'm filled with gratitude for you."
"Tsk."
Feng Ye clicked his tongue and took a sip of tea before continuing, "In any case, from now on, your job, along with your sister's, is to guide those who are reincarnating and prevent vengeful spirits from lingering in the human realm."
"Yes, there are quite a few spirits in this world, and it might be too much for just the two of you. That's why Kanroji, Mitsuri, and Shinazugawa will help you. Yushiro can also lend a hand when he's free."
Kanroji, Mitsuri, Shinazugawa, and Yushiro were now considered his divine attendants.
The reincarnation system in this world was incomplete, with many lingering spirits, so he intended to improve it and give Kanroji and the others something to do in the future.
As for Tamayo, Feng Ye planned to have her oversee the underworld along with Koinatsu and the others.
"Yes, Master."
Koinatsu bowed and nodded obediently to Feng Ye.
Feng Ye stood up and looked outside, saying, "Alright, I'll be leaving for a while. By the time I return, you should have everything in order. There will be a vacation, and I'll take you to another world for a break."
"Great!"
Mitsuri nodded eagerly. She had heard about other fascinating worlds from Feng Ye, and she was naturally excited about the prospect of visiting one herself.
Butterfly Ninja glanced at her sister, Shinazugawa, and they shared a serene smile, each lost in their own thoughts.
Yushiro also showed a hint of anticipation.
Just then, Feng Ye's figure faded, and Tamayo appeared at the doorway.
"Everyone's here."
Tamayo approached and greeted everyone. "Did Feng Ye have any instructions?"
"Feng Ye said..."
Yushiro relayed Feng Ye's message to Tamayo, and the mention of other worlds finally brought a glimmer of anticipation to her eyes.
She had truly given up on this world and this life. That was why, when she handed over her power to Tanjiro, she did so without hesitation, forgoing everything. If she had died then, so be it.
That was her mindset.
She even considered reneging on her promise to Feng Ye, thinking that death might release her from their agreement.
However, she soon realized that not even death could break the bond with Feng Ye. From then on, she could only abide by their agreement and work for him. Yet, now it seemed that the work and the benefits were both quite favorable, rekindling a spark of anticipation within her.
