Demon Slayer: I am a Demon.

"I will be waiting for you in hell."

The faint echoes of Muzan Kibutsuji's dying voice still lingered in the air.

"If I don't go to hell, you might not live to see that day."

Su Mu looked at Kibutsuji Muzan, who had been completely reduced to ashes and vanished, and spoke calmly.

…………

Muzan Kibutsuji is dead.

At this moment, all the remaining ghosts in the world sensed this, and every single one of them was plunged into fear and dread.

At the same time, there is also disbelief.

It's hard to believe that Muzan Kibutsuji, who has always been trapped in the fear of being dominated, will be killed one day.

…………

A gentle breeze blew, dispersing some of the foul stench that permeated the Yoshiwara pleasure quarters.

The swordsmen, led by Himejima Gyomei, Rengoku Kyojuro, and Shinazugawa Sanemi, watched as Muzan Kibutsuji's body dissipated. Even though they witnessed Muzan Kibutsuji's death before their eyes, they still felt a sense of unreality.

"Is Muzan Kibutsuji really dead?"

Rengoku Kyojuro clenched his fists, his voice filled with trepidation and excitement.

Namo Amitabha!

With his hands clasped together and tears streaming down his face, Himejima Gyomei said, "I feel that Muzan Kibutsuji has truly vanished from this world."

Although this was the scene he saw through his 'mind's eye', Himejima Gyomei still couldn't believe it.

For thousands of years, the Demon Slayer Corps has been pursuing and trying to achieve what it wants, but generation after generation has made so many sacrifices and still cannot accomplish it, and there is almost no hope in sight.

It's done today.

The Demon Slayer Corps achieved its long-held goal: to protect humanity and eradicate evil spirits.

It really feels like a dream.

Although there are certainly still demons outside that have not been completely eradicated, with the source of demons, Muzan Kibutsuji, cut off, the number of demons in this world is limited. Almost every one killed is one less, and sooner or later, they will all be wiped out.

"A thousand-year pursuit has finally come true today."

Beimingyu Xingming clasped his hands together: "The lord's entrustment, the lord's expectations, have finally not been in vain. If the lord could see this scene, he would surely feel gratified."

"There's still one more ghost to deal with."

Su Mu spoke at this moment.

Everyone was taken aback.

"It's time to let Kokushibo, who's been trapped, come out and get some sun."

Su Mu spoke calmly.

"Yes, and Kokushibo too."

It was only then that Gyomei Himejima remembered there was such a demon, as the battle with Muzan Kibutsuji had left everyone exhausted.

Soon, a swordsman dragged over a heavy box, opened it, and saw Kokushibo's six terrifying pupils.

However, at this moment, the six pupils constricted, filled with disbelief.

As the strongest of the Twelve Demon Moons, Kokushibo followed Muzan Kibutsuji for a long enough time to understand just how strong Muzan Kibutsuji truly was.

even

Even his younger brother, Yoriichi Tsugikuni, could not defeat Muzan Kibutsuji.

But what I felt in my heart clearly emerged.

"You did something that even Yoriichi couldn't accomplish?"

Kokushibo's eyes widened. He had always hoped to become like his younger brother Yoriichi Tsugikuni, and he had worked hard for that, hoping to one day surpass his brother.

But everything changed on that night of the red moon. With the death of his younger brother Yoriichi Tsugikuni, he never had another chance to beat his brother.

Kokushibo believed that there was no one in the world who could surpass his younger brother, Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

Today, however, someone has accomplished something that even Yoriichi Tsugikuni could not do.

"choke!"

With a sharp blade drawn, Su Mu's sword mercilessly slashed at Heishibo's body.

Kokushibo did not resist, but simply watched the scene unfold. In fact, as the box was opened and bathed in sunlight, death was already on the countdown. This slash only accelerated the process.

The blade of the Nichirin Blade sliced ​​through the body, and life vanished completely at that moment.

Just like other evil spirits that emit a foul stench upon death, Kokushibo's death also caused a foul odor to emanate from the surrounding area.

"Da da..."

Hurried footsteps approached, and the young lord, Teruya Ubuyashiki, rushed over, asking urgent questions as he spoke:

"Mr. Su Mu, Kibutsuji Muzan is dead, right?"

"Yes, he's dead."

Su Mu looked up at his young lord and spoke calmly.

"It's really... over."

"It has truly ended this fate that has lasted for thousands of years."

At this moment, Teruya Ubuyashiki shed tears. As if he felt that crying was too fragile, Teruya Ubuyashiki hurriedly wiped the corners of his eyes with his hand: "I'm just too happy, too happy, really too happy. We have finally eradicated the source of the evil spirits, and truly ended everything. Everything is over."

Teruya Ubuyashiki let out an excited cheer, and many people joined in at that moment.

But some swordsmen remained silent.

In the Yoshiwara district, many swordsmen have witnessed demons fighting against Muzan Kibutsuji, and even demons more terrifying than Muzan Kibutsuji.

This demon still exists, and may even be more terrifying than Muzan Kibutsuji.

This ghost exists.

Is it really all over?

…………

Clearly, not all swordsmen can accept the existence of demons like Tanjiro and Nezuko.

Even though this demon had done a lot for the Demon Slayer Corps.

It wasn't because the swordsman had truly forgotten Su Mu's contributions to the Demon Slayer Corps, but rather because of his pure hatred for demons.

Before joining the Demon Slayer Corps, most swordsmen had their own happiness destroyed by demons.

The hatred for ghosts is almost rooted deep in my heart.

For demons, almost everyone only wants to sever their heads and end their lives. Swordsmen like Kanae Kocho, who have the idea of ​​saving demons, are extremely rare in the Demon Slayer Corps.

"Sir, this time, we are truly relying on you. Without your leadership, there would have been no victory."

Teruya Ubuyashiki was filled with excitement. He had not witnessed the battle between Su Mu and Muzan Kibutsuji, nor did he know Su Mu's identity as a demon. At this moment, he was simply happy for the victory, and at the same time, he also had simple respect and admiration for Su Mu.

After all, for thousands of years, so many sacrifices have been made, yet there has never been any hope of eradicating the evil spirits. Now, this situation has come to an end in Su Mu's hands, which is enough to show his ability.

Sure enough, he hadn't been wrong when he first saw the man at 'Fujisaki Mountain'. At that moment, he felt that the man and he were like his father and Gyomei Himejima back then.

With the death of Muzan Kibutsuji, Teruya Ubuyashiki felt much more relaxed, not only because of the constant pressure from Muzan, but also because the curse originating from his bloodline seemed to be lifted.

After all, in the very beginning, Muzan Kibutsuji came from Ubuyashiki. Because he became a demon, the entire Ubuyashiki was cursed, and almost every male descendant of Ubuyashiki was weak and died young.

Kakeru Ubuyashiki has never been in good health. In fact, as he gets older, he feels increasingly weak, with a weak heartbeat and low breath.

Now, Teruya Ubuyashiki clearly feels his heartbeat become stronger.

The death of Muzan Kibutsuji does not only represent the elimination of evil spirits from this world, but for Ubuyashiki, it also represents the complete breaking of the gloom that has always hung over Ubuyashiki.

"Thank you so much, sir, and thank you all for your hard work."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki stood up and bowed to Su Mu and every swordsman present.

Although Kagaya Ubuyashiki is young, he has managed all the affairs of the Demon Slayer Corps in an orderly manner since Kagaya Ubuyashiki's death, and has long earned the respect of many swordsmen.

But at this moment, seeing Ubuyashiki Teriyaki showing such respect to a demon, some swordsmen had very complicated feelings.

"The most important thing is to treat the injured first."

Su Mu spoke at this moment.

Yes, yes, yes.

Teruya Ubuyashiki immediately nodded: "I was really too excited by the death of Muzan Kibutsuji. It was really wrong of me. I will immediately order someone to deal with it."

…………

Soon, 'Ubuyashiki' set up a simple medical point in a dilapidated room near Yoshiwara Yukaku.

As the owner of the Butterfly Mansion, Shinobu Kocho was in charge of the medical treatment, and Su Mu also joined in the simple treatment of the swordsman.

However, when Su Mu offered to treat the wounds of some swordsmen, almost all of them refused. Even knowing that their injuries might be life-threatening if not treated promptly, they still chose to refuse.

Clearly, he couldn't accept having his wounds treated by a ghost.

But in the past, these swordsmen would consider it an honor to receive treatment from Su Mu if they were injured.

Their attitudes became subtle after they learned the ghost's identity.

Su Mu did not insist on treating the swordsmen's wounds and silently returned to his temporary residence.

Su Mu could naturally sense the changes in everyone's emotions towards him. To be honest, he felt somewhat uncomfortable, but it wasn't unacceptable.

…………

The Demon Slayer Corps has established procedures for treating the wounded and handling follow-up matters, and they handle everything in an orderly manner.

The Demon Slayer Corps continues its campaign to eliminate the remaining demons in various regions, but everyone knows that eradicating these demons is only a matter of time.

The truth about Su Mu being a demon gradually became known to more and more swordsmen.

For example, real mushrooms

For example, Teruya Ubuyashiki
