Free Web NovelChapter 563: SFDI: Chapter 563
The training camp began, and the first thing Drake did was implant cursed seals into everyone who participated.
This not only helped them speed up the awakening of the marks, but also avoided the side effects of burning their lives.
And the pillar-level swordsmen were already only one step away from awakening the marks, and soon obtained the power of the marks one after another after receiving the cursed seals. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
Kanao Tsuyuri herself had already learned Constant, and also quickly awakened the petal marks.
This stimulated Inosuke, who was working hard to train and was also getting stronger quickly.
It was Zenitsu who was more of a headache. When they brought him back, he hugged Kuwajima Jigoro and cried and shouted, saying pessimistic things like he was definitely going to die.
During the special training, he was even more slow and always looked half-dead.
Tanjiro, that enthusiastic child, had to spend a lot of time every day encouraging and urging him. But because of this, the relationship between the two quickly became quite good.
Of course, this was also because Zenitsu had accidentally seen Nezuko. Shinobu Kocho didn’t know what she did after seeing this scene, but anyway, Zenitsu also started to work hard in the end.
The special training was roughly divided into two parts. The first part was basic physical training, and the second part was actual combat, with everyone engaging in high-intensity battles with Drake.
However, the progress of the training in the Transparent World and the Crimson Blade wasn’t smooth.
The Crimson Blade was easy to say. It could be obtained with some tricks. Although its power was far less than that of Yoriichi Tsugikuni’s Crimson Blade, it could already play a big role in battle.
But there was no shortcut to the Transparent World. It could only be achieved through one’s own efforts and talent. What was surprising was that the first to master it was the blind Stone Pillar, Gyomei Himejima.
But thinking about it, this was also normal. Gyomei Himejima himself was the strongest of the nine pillars, and although he was blind, his perception of the world was clearer.
Although the battles in which he repeatedly fell into a near-death state during training were indispensable, Gyomei Himejima was able to master the Transparent World with just a few words of introduction from Drake, and was worthy of being the strongest pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
And after Gyomei Himejima shared his experience with others, they also entered that realm one after another.
Even Drake benefited from this and mastered the Transparent World, allowing his perception ability in battle to be more comprehensive.
After Shinobu Kocho also joined the development of the medicine halfway, Tamayo’s research was finally completed after two months, which also meant that the final Muzan slaying plan entered its final countdown.
.....
Muzan had been very uneasy recently, with a feeling that something big was about to happen.
Looking back, it seemed that everything had become unfavorable since the day he sensed danger under a mountain.
Although he was unwilling, he still distributed his blood to others, just wanting some useful helpers.
Especially the Twelve Kizuki, on whom he had placed great expectations.
The Lower Rank demons were replaced from time to time, and he was already used to this. It was just that the Lower Ranks had been disappearing a little too quickly recently!
After Rui, the Lower Rank demon whom Muzan valued most, was killed, he felt that the Lower Rank demons who could be killed so easily were useless trash.
He had originally planned to clean up all the Lower Ranks, but he didn’t expect that Upper Rank Six would also be killed afterwards. Muzan even saw that scene through Gyutaro’s eyes that scared him so much that he couldn’t even control himself.
Enraged, and considering that he might need manpower for the situation ahead, Muzan could only endure his disgust and leave those eyesores behind.
But they completely betrayed Muzan’s rare mercy, and were killed one after another.
And what gave Muzan even more of a headache was that Doma and Gyokko had also been killed. What gave him the most headache was that the person who killed Gyokko was even more like Yoriichi Tsugikuni than last time.
Just seeing him made the sword marks on Muzan’s body start to ache.
So Muzan had been very irritable recently, and he particularly hated this feeling of danger approaching.
In the Infinity Castle, Muzan put down the test tube in his hand and looked up. He sensed a special reaction and connected to the vision of a certain demon.
It was the only one left among the Lower Rank demons, and also the guy who had allowed him to take a slight look before. His name was... Enmu, wasn’t it?
As soon as his vision cleared, he saw a girl wearing a kimono kicking over.
Muzan’s face changed, because this girl was a demon, but not a demon under his control.
Muzan didn’t remember when he had turned this girl into a demon, because turning people into demons wasn’t something worth remembering for him.
But for thousands of years, only Tamayo had broken free from his control. He didn’t expect another one to appear without him noticing.
Butterfly wings fluttered before his eyes, and Muzan saw a strangely shaped sword thrust in, directly stabbing into Enmu’s throat.
Muzan could control the physical senses of every demon. At this time, he could feel something that was poisonous to demons being injected into Enmu’s body through the blade.
If it were an Upper Rank, they could easily break down the poison, but unfortunately Enmu was just a Lower Rank. Muzan could feel his body constantly decaying.
Cursing inwardly at the trash, Muzan was about to withdraw his vision, but he stopped immediately.
Because he saw that the sun had already risen, but the demon girl bathed in the sunlight was unharmed.
Excited, Muzan waved his hand and swept all the bottles and jars on the table in front of him to the ground.
"Finally... finally, after hundreds of years, a demon who has overcome sunlight has finally appeared! As long as I merge with her, I can become a truly perfect existence!"
The veins on Muzan’s face bulged out, but just as he was about to order someone to snatch Nezuko back, he suddenly calmed down.
Could this be a trap set for him? Muzan couldn’t help but think this, and his suspicion grew stronger and stronger.
Muzan was very conflicted. The scene of Nezuko bathing in the sunlight was indeed not fake, and it was indeed an opportunity to fulfill his thousand-year wish.
But if the Demon Slayer Corps used this to set a trap for him, would there be danger! If that was really the case, he would have to consider giving up this opportunity.
Anyway, demons had infinite lifespans. He didn’t believe that the people of the Demon Slayer Corps could outlast him and Nezuko.
Just then, Nakime on the side plucked the strings of her biwa, and a figure wearing a snake-patterned kimono appeared before him.
"Kokushibo, what’s the matter?" Muzan asked in a cold voice.
The person who came was Upper Rank One, the strongest demon other than the demon king Muzan, Kokushibo.
Kokushibo raised his terrifying face with six eyes and said, "I have an important matter to report.
I have turned a swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps into a demon, and he has reported an important matter."
"Nakime!"
Hearing Muzan’s order, Nakime plucked the strings of her biwa, and a figure appeared before Muzan.
This person was actually Kuwajima Jigoro’s disciple, Kaigaku, who had inherited Thunder Breathing. However, now he had grown fangs, his eyes had turned black, his skin had turned pale, and black tiger stripes had appeared on his face. He had become a... demon!
Kokushibo said in a cold voice, "Show some respect in front of Muzan-sama!"
Kaigaku reacted immediately, kneeling on one knee in a submissive manner.
Muzan said, "I heard you have something to report. It better not be boring news!"
Kaigaku felt a mountain on his back, and cold sweat flowed down his face.
The enormous pressure made him quickly say, "The Demon Slayer Corps has found a demon who has overcome sunlight, and plans to use her as bait to set a trap for you, Muzan-sama. The nine pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps have all gathered, and the senior members have also received a summons."
Muzan snorted coldly. This news didn’t surprise him. It just confirmed his previous guess.
Even so, Muzan decided to give Kaigaku some rewards.
So he stretched out his finger, and that finger stretched out like a poisonous snake and pierced into Kaigaku’s forehead.
Muzan injected more blood into Kaigaku’s body, and the intense pain made Kaigaku’s body twitch.
But his strong will to survive made Kaigaku endure the severe pain. At the same time, the words "Upper Rank" and "Six" appeared in his pupils.
Just then, Muzan’s body stiffened, and another scene was reflected in his eyes.
It belonged to a demon who had already been beheaded. The last scene that was reflected in the eyes that were about to turn to ashes was an ordinary small hillside.
But a small flower swayed on the small hillside. It was a spider lily, but the petals were cyan blue.
The scene, which lasted only a few seconds, dissipated, but it made Muzan unable to calm down for a long time, and even forgot that he was still transfusing blood to Kaigaku.
Kaigaku’s painful screams brought Muzan back to his senses, and he disgustedly withdrew his finger.
Muzan felt that fate was favoring him. He didn’t expect that at the same time that a demon who had overcome sunlight appeared, the blue spider lily that he had been searching for for thousands of years had also been found.
Although Nezuko’s side was a trap, the Demon Slayer Corps would never have thought that he had found another key to evolution.
Once he obtained the blue spider lily and became a truly perfect creature, no matter what traps the Demon Slayer Corps had, they would be destroyed by him.
...
In a deserted mountain forest, a group of people surrounded a blue flower.
Drake clapped his hands and said, "Alright, the bait has been set. Now we just have to wait for the fish to bite."
