Demon Slayer: I am a Demon.

"How could this be, how could this be..."

Muzan Kibutsuji could hardly believe what he was seeing.

"Times have changed."

Su Mu looked at Muzan Kibutsuji and spoke softly, just like the samurai here. They were once the masters of this place, but with the advent of firearms, they realized that decades of hard work and sweat could not withstand a single bullet, and they eventually fell into complete ruin.

What the warriors once faced here is now being encountered by demons.

…………

Over the years, the number of ghosts has accumulated to a considerable size, but under the barrage of bullets, they have fallen one by one.

Perhaps these ghosts possess strength far exceeding human limits, and under normal circumstances, they would be able to deal with ordinary firearms.

After all, even with a demon's superhuman strength, it might not be able to match the speed of a bullet, but it can always dodge in advance.

But these ghosts had no choice.

Because they had to rescue Muzan Kibutsuji, they had no choice but to charge, resulting in them falling one after another like wheat being harvested.

"boom……"

With a bullet blasting down, the last demon was brought down to the ground.

"kill!"

The swordsmen put away their guns, picked up their Nichirin Blades, and finished off the few remaining demons still alive on the Yoshiwara outpost. One by one, demons that were still barely clinging to life after being hit in insignificant places by bullets were found, and then their heads were mercilessly chopped off by the swordsmen with their Nichirin Blades.

This is the scene that Muzan Kibutsuji witnessed.

This is a scene of despair.

Now, Muzan Kibutsuji's hope of escaping under the cover of the demons has been completely shattered.

At this moment, Muzan Kibutsuji appeared completely lost and dejected.

Su Mu watched the demon heading towards its end in silence. From the time the demons attacked to rescue Muzan Kibutsuji until now, apart from the initial beheading of Muzan Kibutsuji, he had not attacked Muzan Kibutsuji.

Because it's completely unnecessary.

Ordinary methods are completely ineffective in killing this demon. On the contrary, attacks might even tear off some of Muzan Kibutsuji's flesh and blood. If this flesh and blood were left in the darkness, would it be able to regenerate? Muzan Kibutsuji once relied on such methods to escape from Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

Of course, after being poisoned by Tamayo's drug, Muzan Kibutsuji should no longer have the ability to split, but what if he does?

Therefore, he simply kept a close watch on Muzan Kibutsuji.

Even when the demons attacked, he didn't make a move; Kanao, who was beside him, simply held them off for him.

Until now

The entire Yoshiwara pleasure village was occupied only by two demons.

One of them is a Shetland Sheepdog.

One of them was Muzan Kibutsuji.

"Please...please let me go, please let me go, I don't want to die."

The desire to live made this brutal demon plead.

Su Mu remained expressionless.

Muzan Kibutsuji looked around. Before he knew it, swordsmen had walked over, each holding the hilt of their Nichirin Blade, their eyes filled with fierce killing intent.

悲鸣屿行冥

…………

From the innermost 'pillar' to the outermost swordsmen, they surrounded each other, their eyes filled with murderous intent as they stared at Muzan Kibutsuji in the arena.

Staring at the evil spirit begging for life.

"Please, please, let me go."

Muzan Kibutsuji pleaded again, looking around, "I will..."

At this moment, Muzan Kibutsuji wanted to say more, but all he received in response were the murderous and hateful gazes of the swordsmen.

Countless swordsmen stared intently at him.

Countless swordsmen gripped their hilts and stared at him.

If we could kill him with a knife right now, we would all swarm him and tear him to pieces.

"Heh...hehe..."

Seeing this, and knowing that begging for mercy would be useless, Muzan Kibutsuji burst into laughter.

He looked at the sky.

The moon gradually sank, and a faint light appeared on the horizon.

The sun is about to rise.

For thousands of years, he has longed to overcome the flaws of being a ghost and to bask in the sunlight.

Never thought

I will die in the sunlight.

PS: The main storyline has reached this point, and it should be nearing its end. The remaining content consists of side stories between the Demon Slayer Corps and the protagonist.

After all, the protagonist is also a ghost, and it's impossible for everyone to accept the protagonist as a ghost.

The rest of the content will mainly be written here.

There probably won't be much content.

They won't go to other worlds afterward.

This book begins with Demon Slayer and ends with Demon Slayer.

Thank you for watching this far.

Chapter 296 Is it really over?

The long-awaited sun finally rose above the horizon, bringing warm sunlight, dispelling the darkness of the world, and bringing light to the earth.

What is gentle sunlight to humans is the most terrifying thing in the world to ghosts.

Even Muzan Kibutsuji is the same.

"No...no sunbathing, no sunbathing."

Looking at the rising sun and feeling the sunlight shining down on him, Muzan Kibutsuji let out a fearful cry. But the gentle sunlight did not follow Muzan Kibutsuji's will. The sunlight spread across the earth, falling on every corner of the world, and also on Muzan Kibutsuji.

Under the sunlight, even the most primordial demon begins to disintegrate at this moment.

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die."

Feeling his body disintegrate in the sunlight, Muzan Kibutsuji let out a terrified scream; his obsession with life was almost beyond imagination.

Even knowing that he couldn't change anything, Muzan Kibutsuji's body was still changing.

In order to escape the sun, Muzan Kibutsuji's form began to change. His body began to shrink continuously, but the flesh and blood on his outer skin began to multiply. In the end, his outer form transformed into a giant flesh and blood infant.

It was this enormous baby shell that blocked out the sunlight, preventing Muzan Kibutsuji, who was hiding deep inside the baby, from dying in the sunlight.

Once, in the distant past of the Heian period, he was conceived, but before he was born, he was tightly bound by the shadow of death. In his mother's womb, his weak heart stopped beating, and he was even born as a stillborn infant.

Because of his obsession with living, he eventually crawled back from the brink of death. After experiencing many things, his yearning for life ultimately led him to become the first and longest-lived ghost.

However, I never expected that today, I would return to the state of being an infant once again.

Both times, the baby was in the position of an infant, and both times it was filled with an obsession with surviving.

However, thanks to his unwavering will to live, he managed to crawl back from the brink of death.

This time...

"choke!"

The blade, imbued with solar energy, severed the baby's outer shell, revealing Muzan Kibutsuji hiding inside.

"don't want……"

As the outer shell cracked, sunlight shone in again, and Muzan Kibutsuji let out a terrified howl.

The gentle sunlight that is kind to humans is like the most potent poison to demons. Under the sunlight, even Muzan Kibutsuji is no different from other demons, his body crumbling little by little.

This time, there was no longer the baby's shell to cover it.

"I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"

Muzan Kibutsuji cried out in resentment and fear, but he couldn't stop his life from slowly dissipating. The only difference was that his life was dissipating at a slower rate than that of ordinary demons.

But with so many swordsmen watching intently, his death by the sun was inevitable.

A ghost like him, after death, will probably not be able to ascend to heaven, but will only be reborn in hell.

As the body gradually dissipates, no matter how reluctant one is to let go of life, one can only end it all in resentment and fear, just like those families whose homes are invaded by ghosts at night. No matter how much they resist, they can only watch helplessly as their happiness is destroyed in the face of the ghost's overwhelming power.

"You're a ghost too! You're a ghost too!"

In his final moments, Muzan Kibutsuji roared, his face filled with resentment: "You help these humans like this, don't you know you're a demon too?"

Do you think these people will let you go?

With these words that seemed to pierce the heart, Muzan Kibutsuji stared at Su Mu with resentment: "No matter what, you are a demon, and we will always be the same kind of beings."

"choke!"

The blade was drawn, delivering the final blow to Muzan Kibutsuji.

"I will... wait for you in hell."

Muzan Kibutsuji's body completely dissipated, indistinguishable from the death of other demons, and the air began to fill with the foul stench of a demon's death.
