A Dimensional Journey Begins with the Dragon Clan

Chapter 479
"Lianxue, Master..."

Yiwozuo called the two of them.

"Am I doing... well?"

The boy asked uncertainly.

The girl let go of her father's hand and stepped forward, gently holding the boy's face.

"You've done a good job, thank you Komaji-san..."

Tears welled up in his eyes, and finally, the evil spirit turned back into the boy he used to be.

Komaji hugged the girl in front of him tightly, crying loudly.

"I'm sorry! Lianxue!! I'm sorry! Master! I failed to protect you... In the end, I still failed to keep the promise!"

"Ugh……"

Qingzang sighed softly, and stepped forward to embrace the boy and girl with open arms.

"Welcome home."

"I am back……"

"..."

After silently watching the two ghosts dissipate, Yushirou's figure rushed towards the exit.

boom--

Amidst the violent bangs, the Infinite City finally completely collapsed, burying everything underground that no one knew about.

The pierced clouds in the sky have not yet recovered, and the sun shines on the ground without hindrance.

Countless ashes drifted away with the wind, as if all the sins had disappeared.

This is an empty space in the middle of the forest, nothing can block the direct sunlight, and just now Wu Mi was wiped out here.

"it is finally over……"

Seeing such a scene, Zhu Shi, who had been hiding in the shade of a tree, sighed slightly.

She had waited hundreds of years for this moment.

In order to witness this moment with her own eyes, she has to linger until now regardless of the sins she bears.

And today this moment finally came, and it was time for her to make amends.

Everyone's attention was focused on Wu Mi's death, because there was nothing more important to the members of the Ghost Killing Squad.

So no one noticed here.

"That's fine..."

Zhu Shi took a slow step, walking from the shadow to the sunshine.

Let the sun burn every corner of your body.

According to her idea, she will disappear into this world silently, marking the end of the era of evil spirits. Since then, there will be no 'man-eating ghosts' in this world.

But it seems that someone does not want her to do so.

Under the sun, a figure that seemed to be burning was running desperately, ignoring everyone around, only running desperately in her direction.

"Lord Zhu Shi!"

Hearing a familiar voice, Zhu Shi, who had closed his eyes and waited for death, opened them.

She found that the sting from the sun was lessened because someone was in her way.

"Yushiro?"

She looked at Yushiro in front of her with some surprise in her eyes.

Because... this place is under the sun without any shelter!
And how did Yushiro, who is a ghost, arrive in front of her?

Before she could react, she felt that her body was pushed away, and she retreated into the shadow that the sun couldn't reach again.

Two figures stood facing each other, one in the shadow and the other in the sunlight.

Zhu Shi finally saw Yushiro's current appearance clearly.

It was a body that had been scorched by the sun, and a smile could still be seen on the broken face, as if he was pleased to be able to catch up with her and save her.

Even if the whole world is going away from you, there will always be someone coming to you.

Perhaps because of the "dragon blood" in his body that is stronger than ghost blood, Yushirou's tolerance to sunlight is much stronger than that of ordinary ghosts, so he can act temporarily even under the scorching sun.

Facing the burning of the sun, Yushiro finally walked into the shadows, and the wounds on his body were slowly recovering.

He quietly looked at the slowly healing wound, full of emotion in his heart.

Speaking of which, he had to thank that gentleman for being able to possess such power.

······
the other side.

"call……"

The slightly tired breathing brought everyone's attention back.

Looking at the old man's empty right arm, they gradually understood what happened just now.The miraculous scene was only caused by the person in front of him shaking his fist.

"Mr. Xuanhao... your arm!?"

Butterfly Shinobu was the first to ask worried questions.

But in the face of her worry, the old man in front of him did not respond, but turned his head to look at the anxious Tanjiro among the crowd with a solemn expression.

He slowly shook his head helplessly, and walked in front of Tanjirou.

"Nezuko!? Nezuko!?"

Tanjiro anxiously shook Nezuko's body.

Just now, Nezuko suddenly fainted, her head was covered with sweat, and her face struggled.

The sudden change of his sister made Tanjiro very anxious.

"don’t worry."

A gentle voice calmed the anxious Tanjiro.

He turned his head and looked at the old man who was smiling and looking at their brothers and sisters. Only now did he realize that the old man's right arm had disappeared.

"Teacher, you... Nezuko... what's going on here!?"

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Facing Tanjiro's bewildered question, Xuan Hao stepped forward slowly, leaned over, and his bright golden pupils lit up.

"Hey, really...there should be a limit to being overconfident, right?"

He leaned over to observe the girl's changes, his voice seemed to be able to penetrate the soul.

The moment Wu Mi was smashed to pieces just now, he made some small movements self-righteously.

One drop of the scattered ghost blood was sprinkled in Nezuko's eyes. Maybe other people can't notice such details, but under Xuan Hao's perception, all the tiny details around him can't be hidden.

······
Wu Mi has never quite understood why he lost so completely.

He spent his whole life in fear, and the shadow of death enveloped him almost every moment.

So 'eternal life' is what he has longed for for countless years.

"But how can it be truly immortal?"

When he was cornered by Ji Guoyuanyi and Xuanhao one after another, he began to doubt his own path.

Because he found that no matter how long he lived and how strong he became, more terrifying monsters would always appear in this world. Although he did not believe in gods and Buddhas, this world might really have his own will.

Just like the so-called "fate", there is a force in the dark that has been restraining him and hindering him.

So he found that he was not strong enough to break through such shackles.

Because there is always a limit to what a single individual can do, and the human world is constantly developing, it is simply impossible for him to rely on himself to compete with the world.

He knew that if it went on like this, no matter how long he lingered on, as long as he was a single individual, something would come along and kill him.

The simple truth is that as long as anything is alive, it will be killed.

So what is immortality?
Finally, when he was about to die, he saw the figure of Ji Guo Yuanyi.

It was the will that had haunted him for countless years.

Everyone in the ghost killing team inherited this will and fought tenaciously with the sole purpose of killing him.

"I see."

At this moment, Wu Mi finally realized that only the will can last forever.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha--"

He laughed wantonly.

He looked at the human punching in front of him, with mockery in his eyes.

He wanted to speak, but the force of destruction had already destroyed his body.

But this still did not hinder his inner joy.

"Thanks to you, I finally understand what eternity is!

If you can't kill me, you can't kill me! ! ! !
You can kill my flesh, but now!My will will also be the same as you humans, eternal and immortal! "

Wu Mi's heart was full of resentment.

"You value this child very much, right? I will pour all my will into the person you value most, and my will will be immortal through her forever!
Pass it on, even without me, there will be countless "ghost kings" that you fear, constantly reborn in the darkness you fear! "

"Go, child, replace me and drive all human beings to extinction!"

Nightmare-like whispers echoed in Nezuko's ears.

Her eyes were dull and she struggled a little, but she quickly regained her composure.

After all, she is a human girl, unable to suppress the crazy will of the ghost king who has existed for thousands of years.

He clearly heard the calls of 'Nezuko', but he was unable to respond.

In Nezuko's sea of ​​consciousness.

She is in an old wooden house, which is her home in the mountains.

Surrounded by broken bodies, these are her family members who have passed away.

Nezuko seemed to have returned to that nightmarish night.

She curled up in a corner, resisting everything here.

Because she knew that these were all fake, 'tricks', tricks used to break through her psychological defenses.

So no matter how many times the tragedy was repeated in front of her, she curled up into a ball and refused to look.

"Brother...Brother..."

There was a cry in her voice, calling out in a low voice.

"I just want to go home with my brother...God, please...please let me go home with my brother..."

"God? Brother? It's useless to call anyone, just give up."

A pair of plum-colored pupils suddenly opened in the void, with a smile in their eyes, and the sound of sneering echoed throughout the space.

"So what if you go back? Your family members are already dead, so what if you go back to that home where graves are everywhere?"

"no!"

Nezuko retorted desperately, "I still have an older brother!"

"elder brother?"

Wu Mi's voice is still confident.

"Are you referring to the boy who is anxious like an ant on a hot pot? Just rely on him? What can he do to me? No, it's not just him, no one can stop me now! Hahahahahahaha——"

He laughed maniacally.

Yes, no one can stop him anymore.

At this moment, he has turned into an eternal will, how can stupid human beings understand such a perfect existence like him?

There is no one in this world who can do anything to him!He is invincible!
"No! I must go back, brother... is still waiting for me..."

Nezuko's voice became weaker and weaker.

"It's useless, you can't go back."

Wu Mi continued to whisper, like hypnosis, trying to make the girl's will sleep forever.

"Quickly give up those meaningless thoughts, this is my world, no one can save you, and you will soon become the new ghost king, and your brother will also be killed by you!"

"No, how could I kill my brother?"

The girl's curled up body began to tremble, as if thinking of some horrible picture.

"Brother...he will definitely come to save me!"

Two overlapping voices said the same words, one was from Nezuko, and the other... Wu Mi had never heard it before.

"Forehead?"

Those plum-colored eyes looked around suspiciously.

Wu Mi began to panic.

This was supposed to be his world, but the voice of someone he didn't know unexpectedly appeared.

"What's going on here? Who is it? Who is talking!? Come out for me!!"

How could Wu Mi, who thought he had already dominated everything, allow unknown 'impurities' to appear in his world.

But he looked left and right, but couldn't find anything.

In the end...he had no choice but to look at the only person in this space besides him.

"It's you?"

He questioned Nezuko sternly.

But in exchange for a long silence.

What surprised Wu Mi was that Nezuko, who had been deeply in fear, had stopped trembling at some point, and raised her head to stare at herself with those cherry-colored pupils.

That stubborn gaze was completely different from before, as if... a different person.

"Why... dare you look at me like that?"

Wuyou looked down at Nezuko with murderous intent and contempt in his eyes.

He didn't understand where this girl suddenly borrowed the courage to stare at him like this.

"Why don't you give up? Why haven't you been swallowed by my will?"

Wu Cang's eyes showed a fierce look, and his speech speed accelerated, as if he had fallen into madness.

"Why? Why? Who are you!?"

His mind was completely confused.

Something is wrong, no, it should be wrong from beginning to end!

Is the person in front of you Nezuko?No, that look is another person entirely!

Wu Mi suddenly began to doubt life.

"Why do people always come out against me at critical moments? Who are you?"

He couldn't understand the situation in front of him, because this place obviously belonged to his world, and his will ruled everything, but why did a strange guy appear here?

This is not good, because since unknown people can come in, it means that this place is not absolutely complete.

"What on earth do you want to do!?"

He questioned the girl in front of him.

"I'm just waiting for my brother to pick me up."

The girl replied.

"Brother? Brother!? Brother again!?"

It's crazy.

"Nezuko's brother is Tanjiro, who is your brother!?"

He couldn't understand what the girl in front of him was saying, who was her brother, and who could come here to pick her up?
"!?"

As if thinking of something, those plum-colored eyes suddenly froze.

"Are you quite courageous? Wu Mi."

An angry voice sounded.

"Crack-"

The room that trapped Nezuko was instantly shattered, and after this space was shattered, it became a blank.

The abrupt, wretched figure fell into this blank field as if it had been pulled out of the void.

He turned his head to look in the direction of the sound in horror, and saw a pair of burning golden pupils staring at him indifferently.

"You... her... brother?"

Wu Mi began to speak incoherently.
