Chapter 186 Just to See You Again

"Komaji, Komaji, Komaji————"

The moment Akaza's head was smashed by Su Yan's punch, he only felt a buzzing sound in his ears.

The air seemed to freeze, and the surroundings instantly became quiet.

He had clearly lost his head.

But in a daze, it seemed as if I heard an ethereal voice calling the name Zhi in my ear.

"Who? Who is it? Show yourself!"

Akaza flailed his fists wildly in all directions, as if trying to find the source of the voice.

Naturally, no one responded.

Because Akaza was all alone, there wasn't a single person in sight.

The only sound in the air was the whooshing of his own fists as he haphazardly swung them.

The next second, Akaza's head instantly grew out of his neck.

He stopped waving his hands wildly in the air and stood still, motionless.

Indistinctly.

Akaza pictured a woman in his mind. The woman had her head down, and her face was obscured by a white light, making it impossible for him to see her features clearly.

Akaza lowered his head and muttered to himself, "Who are you? Why are you inside my head?"

It was as if he was questioning the figure in his mind, or perhaps questioning himself.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Akaza never received a response.

The figure in my mind is slowly fading away.

"Komaji, come quick, we're all waiting for you."

As that figure faded away, another fleeting voice drifted to Akaza's ears.

The sound drifted away.

The figure seemed to be being pulled away by some force.

"Wait, don't go!"

Akaza subconsciously ran a few steps forward, reaching out as if trying to hold onto the fading figure in her mind.

However, that was merely an illusion existing in his mind.

How could he possibly be kept on simply because of such an action?

Therefore, his actions were futile.

The figure, which could not be clearly seen but which Akaza instinctively felt was extremely important, continued to recede into the distance.

No matter how much Akaza cried out in his heart, it had no effect whatsoever.

Immediately afterwards, Akaza made a move that would leave anyone who saw it speechless.

Bang!

Akaza raised his arm.

He punched himself in the head.

hum! !

The powerful force made his ears feel as if they were filled with water, causing a series of intense buzzing sounds.

However, the effect is remarkable.

Because of his self-harm, the non-existent phantom actually slowed down its retreat.

then.

One punch, two punches, three punches —

Akaza seemed to see a glimmer of hope, and the force of his fists grew heavier and heavier.

However, the figure only slowed down its departure; it did not stop moving away.

finally.

Akaza is no longer holding back.

With a loud bang.

His head exploded like a watermelon.

Akaza felt no discomfort whatsoever from the pain of his head exploding; on the contrary, he felt a strange sense of joy.

Because he realized that the figure in his mind was: "Closer, closer, even closer—"

But that's all.

Because soon, the distance between that figure and him began to grow far away again.

No matter how hard he tried.

Even if you keep smashing your head open again and again, it won't stop you.

"No, no, don't go!"

Akaza knelt helplessly on the ground, his hands covering his head, staring intently at the empty void before him.

Suddenly, two streams of heat slid down his cheeks.

Red.

It is blood, and it is also tears.

He felt as if every cell in his body was trembling.

Instinct told him.

That figure represents something very important.

It was even more important than the ultimate martial arts he had been pursuing all along.

"Human! That human! That human must know something!!"

Akaza suddenly raised his head, a hint of madness flashing in his eyes.

He thought of Su Yan, who had been frantically hitting his head earlier.

It was the other person's behavior that caused him to change in this way.

If it's that human, it will definitely remind him of something.

All I need is for the other person to punch me in the head again!

Akaza doesn't know if this idea is correct.

But this may be the last glimmer of hope he can see.

Akaza stood up and carefully sensed the remaining fighting spirit of Su Yan in the air.

They chased after the direction in which the other person's aura disappeared.

He found Su Yan very quickly.

And I witnessed a truly outrageous scene.

He saw Muzan, the Demon King, being unilaterally beaten by the other party while being choked.

"Muzan, who gave you permission to kill Tamayo? Tell me!!"

Su Yan, with crimson lightning crackling around his left hand, gripped Muzan's neck.

Red lightning surged into Muzan's body along his arm.

It numbed every cell in Muzan's body.

Make him unable to move.

On his other hand, bursts of black, corrosive lightning crackled.

Crackle, crackle.

It made a terrifying sound.

Muzan wasn't given a chance to speak at all.

The fist, imbued with black lightning, struck Muzan's face.

In an instant, countless electric currents exploded.

As the liquid flowed through Muzan's body, it caused his skin to crack, leaving behind spiderweb-like fissures.

Muzan has long since lost the elegant image he had at the beginning, dressed in a suit and tie, like a successful person.

His face was bruised and swollen, and his whole body was radiating a burning heat, as if he had been electrocuted.

The naturally curly short hair on his head had long been electrocuted into a black, frizzy afro.

If it weren't for the special sensations originating from the ghost blood within his body.

Akaza couldn't even believe that the disheveled man was actually the Demon King, Muzan Kibutsuji.

Su Yan glanced at Akaza out of the corner of her eye, but didn't pay any attention to his arrival.

His hands didn't stop; he continued to attack Muzan in front of him relentlessly.

The difference between the same ability in Du Yue's hands and in his hands is like heaven and earth.

In the original work, after Kaigaku became a demon and awakened the Blood Demon Art, he was appointed by Muzan as Upper Moon Six.

However, even though Muzan abolished the Lower Moons, and the positions of Upper Moon Five and Upper Moon Six were vacant, he preferred to leave the Upper Moon Five's position vacant.

This shows that Du Yue's Upper Moon Six is ​​not much different from those who are just there to make up the numbers.

Not to mention that he even struggled to deal with Zenitsu Agatsuma, who wasn't even a Pillar.

Now that Du Yue's Blood Demon Art has fallen into Su Yan's hands, Su Yan has developed it, combining control and damage. When used, it has completely dominated Muzan, the so-called Demon King.

While attacking Muzan, Su Yan also trash-talked him, saying, "Muzan, aren't you supposed to be good at hiding? Aren't you supposed to be able to split into more than 1800 pieces of flesh and escape? Why don't you use that?"

Hearing this, Muzan felt as uncomfortable as if he had accidentally swallowed a fly.

Give me a chance!

This was definitely the most frustrating moment in Muzan's life.

It was even more frustrating than when he faced Yoshikazu Tsugikuni back then.

Although he lost, at least Yoriichi Tsugikuni had fought him in a real battle back then.

But now?

He had just crushed Miss Tamayo's head.

The man appeared right in front of him and sent him flying.

He had just stood up, before he could even catch his breath.

As a result, his neck was attacked and grabbed by the other party again. And that wasn't all. After his neck was grabbed, strong electric currents surged into his body instantly.

My whole body went numb.

Now he can hardly even move a finger, let alone escape in the form of more than 1800 pieces of flesh like when he fled from Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

What's more, that hateful woman Tamayo injected some strange drug into his body.

This greatly reduced his body's ability to recover.

If given some time, he might be able to process the effects of the medicine.

But now, if he really splits himself into pieces to escape.

Given his current physical regenerative abilities, he really couldn't guarantee that his body could reassemble and recover after splitting apart.

At this moment, Muzan was undoubtedly in dire straits.

Perhaps because Su Yan's purpose was more out of venting his anger, although his lightning attack was powerful, it did not pose a great threat to Muzan's life.

What truly terrified Muzan was the paralyzing effect that came with the lightning attack, rendering him unable to move.

Muzan didn't know how long the opponent's lightning could last.

If it continues until dawn, what if my body hasn't adapted to the numbing effect by the time the sun comes out?

Then he's finished.

At that moment, Muzan also noticed Akaza not far away.

A glimmer of hope flashed in Muzan's eyes.

As long as riding on the seat can help you hold off the other person, it won't take long, just a few seconds.

Then he can escape alive.

Muzan glanced at Akaza not far away, and turned his head to the side with all his might when Su Yan's fist came crashing down.

As he dodged the punch that was meant to shut him up, he shouted at Akaza, "Akaza!"

"Still dare to hide?"

Su Yan felt annoyed.

I was already feeling saddened by Ms. Tamayo's death.

Seeing that Muzan still dared to resist, he became even more agitated.

In that instant, he actually had the thought of killing Muzan.

hard!

Su Yan clenched his five fingers into a fist, and a large amount of energy surged from his body, condensing and compressing onto his fist.

A dazzling light immediately emanated from his hands.

It was as if a small atomic bomb had instantly materialized in his hand.

Muzan's seven hearts simultaneously sensed a deadly crisis and contracted in unison.

The five brains went completely blank.

Every cell in his body was screaming frantically, urging him to escape the opponent's attack range as quickly as possible.

Because after that punch, he is very likely to—

will die!

For no apparent reason, Muzan came to this conclusion when faced with Su Yan's punch.

At the same time, Akaza, who had just witnessed Su Yan's move, suddenly came to his senses.

He charged straight at Su Yan.

Akaza?

Muzan's eyes lit up, a strange look flashing in them.

As expected, Akaza is the one who comes in the most crucial moments.

In Muzan's eyes, apart from Rui the Spider, whom he regarded as his own son, all beings below the Upper Rank Demons had no value whatsoever.

It belongs to the category of things that can be discarded at any time, and are dispensable.

Among the six Upper Moon demons.

Upper Moon Six, Gyutaro, sleeps inside Daki all day, and Daki is a spoiled child, so she needs to be coaxed to do things.

Upper Moon Five, Gyokko, is a complete psychopath in every sense of the word. Just the act of spying on others' memories is enough to disgust Muzan.

Upper Moon Four's Hantengu is too cowardly and slow to do things.

The new Upper Moon Four, Nakime, is not powerful enough. After leaving the Infinity Castle, her strength is even weaker than that of the Lower Moons. Moreover, the Infinity Castle needs her to be there.

Needless to say, Upper Moon Two, Doma, is self-willed, and whether he does the tasks given to him depends on his mood.

As for Upper Moon One, Kokushibo, he wasn't one of his subordinates, but rather a partner who came to him four hundred years ago with the intention of becoming the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Even the existence of the Twelve Demon Moons among the demons is due to Kokushibo's involvement.

Therefore, Muzan usually leaves all the dirty and tiring work to Akaza, who is always willing to work hard.

Therefore, the one he can trust the most is indeed Akaza, Upper Moon Three.

If Akaza survives this time, we could consider promoting him to the new Upper Moon One, since Kokushibo and Doma are already dead anyway.

Just as Muzan was thinking this in his heart.

Su Yan's eyes sharpened, and he changed the direction of his right hand, redirecting the attack he originally intended to launch at Muzan towards Akaza, who was charging towards him.

However, Akaza's behavior was somewhat unexpected.

Akaza neither dodged nor avoided the attack.

He didn't even use his Blood Demon Art Destruction Technique; he just charged straight at him.

Akaza's target is not Muzan.

Instead, it was Su Yan's hand?

He is doing this—

Want to die?!

Realizing this, Su Yan subconsciously withdrew most of the energy from his hands.

Even so, at the moment of collision with Akaza.

This blow still managed to smash the opponent's head completely into their body, while their body was sent flying.

Su Yan looked at Akaza, who had been sent flying by his own attack, with a puzzled expression, wondering why he had done that.

A few seconds later.

Akaza's head was restored.

He lowered his head, his eyes filled with confusion, and murmured, "No, this isn't the feeling. It's not quite there, not quite there—"

Taking advantage of the situation, Muzan, who was being controlled by Su Yan, commanded Akaza, "Akaza, I order you to save me!"

However, Akaza's reaction was completely unexpected by Muzan.

"Shut up!"

Akaza raised his head, glared at Muzan, and shouted, "It doesn't matter how you handle this kind of thing!"

"Wh-what?!"

Muzan's eyes widened, and he was completely stunned.

How dare the most honest and hardworking Upper Moon Three Akaza defy him?

Muzan's long-standing bad temper towards Akaza erupted instantly, and he shouted through gritted teeth at Akaza, "Aka! Za!"

The words fell.

Akaza immediately knelt down.

A hint of relief flashed in Muzan's eyes.

Do you realize you were wrong?

Just come and save me, and I will mercifully forgive you, Akaza.

That's what Muzan originally intended to say.

But before he could even speak...

Then Akaza, who was standing in front of them, spoke first.

But the person he was talking to wasn't himself, but that damned man who had been choking him and hadn't let go yet.

"Just one punch, just like the punch that made me see her when she smashed my head open."

Akaza suddenly raised his head, staring intently at Su Yan, and said, "Although I don't know who she is, I know she must be extremely important to me."

"Oh right, didn't you say you wanted my Blood Demon Art? Here, take it all, you can have it all, as long as I can see that figure again!"

Please!

At this moment, Akaza abandoned all the dignity that belonged to the strong.

He just wanted Su Yan to punch him again, so that he could see that figure whose name he couldn't even remember once more.
