Demon Slayer: I am a Demon.

Su Mu no longer wanted to argue with someone with inner problems and a twisted mind. He simply whispered one last time, "When you turned me into a human, did you ask for my opinion?"

"No, right?"

"And you said I'm a ghost, that I'll commit sins, that I'll be like other ghosts..."

At this point, he looked at Nishimura Yuko with a cruel glint in his eyes: "Then so be it."

"As you wished, I will walk towards the root of evil; as you wished, I will become the new root of evil..."

"Just like... Muzan Kibutsuji."

As he spoke, a sinister smile appeared in his eyes: "All of this is thanks to you. You created all of this. The demons that the Demon Slayer Corps spent thousands of years eradicating were reopened by you. The world was free of terrifying, man-eating demons, but you started the horror. All the sacrifices and bloodshed the Demon Slayer Corps paid over thousands of years have been rendered meaningless by your actions. In fact, the world is even more terrifying than when Muzan Kibutsuji was alive, because Muzan Kibutsuji was afraid of sunlight, while I have even overcome that one flaw."

"More happy people will be destroyed, and more innocent people will be harmed."

As he spoke, Su Mu stared at Nishimura Yuko in front of him:

"All of this is thanks to you."

The smile that had just appeared on the girl's face froze.

Disbelief appeared in his eyes.

Just thinking about that horrific scene makes me tremble all over, and I'm instantly overwhelmed with regret...

Then, she noticed that the wound from the injection that had been inserted into Su Mu's body was wriggling, and the newly injected medicine was slowly being expelled from his body through the wound.

"I am a demon far more terrifying than Muzan Kibutsuji. What makes you think that the potion used to fight Muzan Kibutsuji would work on me?"

He looked at the girl

"Remember, it is all thanks to you; you are the one who started the root of evil."

At this moment, Yuko Nishimura's face was filled with pain, confusion, regret, and a mix of emotions.

Just thinking about what might happen in the future makes me feel...

And she created all of this.

But soon, the girl would no longer have to suffer like this.

A knife slashed through the girl's painful neck, and she fell into a pool of blood, ending her life in remorse and agony.

It was not Su Mu who killed Nishimura Yuko.

Instead, it's Kanao.

In fact, Kanao was even a little annoyed at this moment, annoyed that her neglect had caused her uncle to be hurt.

The dead Yuko Nishimura stared wide-eyed, perhaps because her soul could not find redemption simply because she had thought of the sins that had been instigated by this.

He died a very painful death.

His life ended amidst tears and regret.

It is even a hundred times more painful than the day when one's happiness was destroyed.

Su Mu watched the swordsman die in agony, his expression calm, even somewhat cold-blooded.

But so what?

By what right do we judge ourselves?

Since you believe I will commit so many evil deeds in the future, then so be it, end your life, and then, just as you wish.

Isn't that exactly what you think?

but why

Will you regret it again?

This is exactly what you think will happen in the future!

Chapter 312 Only when this ghost is completely dead will there be no more such worries.

Yuko Nishimura is dead.

A swordsman whose happiness was once destroyed by demons and whose heart was filled with hatred for demons stole Shinobu Kocho's potion, intending to use the potion that had once been used to fight Muzan Kibutsuji to fight Su Mu, a demon. He was killed by Kanao.

Kanao severed Nishimura Yuko's neck with a single stroke and calmly stepped back.

Killing a swordsman seemed to Kanao to be a peaceful thing, or rather, a very correct thing.

Anyone who tries to harm my uncle deserves to die.

At this moment, Kanao even regretted that she had acted too late and was annoyed that she hadn't noticed Nishimura Yuko's hatred for her uncle sooner, which led to the incident of hurting her uncle.

But no matter what, ending a person's life in this way is ultimately wrong.

That's how it might appear to others.

But from Su Mu's perspective, Kanao didn't do anything wrong.

Even if Kanao really did something wrong, in Su Mu's eyes, she was right.

Just as Nishimura Yuko believed that Su Mu was a demon who would eventually become like other demons, Su Mu also completely agreed with Kanao's view.

I will firmly support Kanao no matter what she does.

But at least there are still people watching.

"This will not be repeated."

Su Mu glanced at Kanao beside him: "Even if you're doing things to hurt me, you can't just end someone else's life so easily."

His voice sounded somewhat sad as he spoke.

At this moment, everyone finally came to their senses from the sudden change. Even Kanae and Shinobu, upon hearing such sad words, felt more sympathy and even anger for Su Mu's plight.

That's too much.

unacceptable.

What Yuko Nishimura did was absolutely outrageous.

As for losing his life as a result, while that is serious, it is even more infuriating than what he did.

How could someone do such a thing?

I feel indignant for Su Mu.

Of course, at this moment, everyone also had some worries. They were worried that Su Mu might be completely enraged by Nishimura Yuko, abandon his former principles, and become a demon like Kibutsuji Muzan.

"Don't worry, what I just said to Nishimura Yuko was just a joke. How could I possibly become that kind of ghost?"

He whispered:

"I was just annoyed."

Or perhaps it was revenge for Yuko Nishimura's actions, so that even in death, she would die in pain and regret.

Of course, doing so might be somewhat cruel.

But so what?

When things are going against him, perhaps this outcome should have been considered.

……

Kanae Butterfly looked at Yuko Nishimura lying on the ground, lifeless, but her mind was filled with thoughts of everything that had just happened.

Deep down, she did not agree with Nishimura Yuko's behavior or her views on demons, but it is undeniable that Nishimura Yuko's ideas were not unique in the Demon Slayer Corps.

Or rather, attitudes toward demons are the views of a large portion of swordsmen.

For example, Shinazugawa Sanemi hates demons very much. It is said that Shinazugawa Sanemi has been in great pain and regret these days because Su Mu, as a demon, was able to overcome his demonic desires and uphold the bottom line of being human. So, shouldn't other demons be able to do the same? In Shinazugawa Sanemi's view, Su Mu was able to uphold the bottom line of being human. So, was it possible that his mother, who fell into demonhood, could also do the same?

If that's really possible, then was it a mistake to kill my mother, who had become a ghost, with my own hands? Why didn't I think about saving my mother back then?

This is some people's view on ghosts.

Many people have greater concerns about Su Mu, this demon, worrying that one day he will abandon the bottom line of being human that he once upheld, after all, he is a demon who is even more perfect than Muzan Kibutsuji.

Such concerns are even prevalent within the Demon Slayer Corps.

Whether it's Teruya Ubuyashiki, Gyomei Himejima, or Kyojuro Rengoku, they all share this concern, except that they are not as extreme as Yuko Nishimura.

However, concerns remain.

Because, as a perfect demon that surpasses Muzan Kibutsuji, it is simply too terrifying.

"I will never let such a thing happen again."

At this moment, Kanae Kocho spoke up and made a promise.

Whether it's Teruya Ubuyashiki, Gyomei Himejima, or Kyojuro Rengoku, they all overlooked the fact that actions like those of Yuko Nishimura are actually forcing Su Mu to move closer to the path of Muzan Kibutsuji.

Just like the angry words Su Mu just said when he was forced to speak by Nishimura Yuko, there might have been some sincerity in them.

Kanae Butterfly felt that such behavior absolutely could not be allowed to happen again, and she would explain this to Teruya Ubuyashiki when she got back.

Su Mu looked up and glanced at Kanae Butterfly, then lowered his head slightly, seemingly lost in thought.

"I'm so sorry this happened."

Kanae Butterfly was filled with guilt; she hadn't expected Yuko Nishimura to appear.

"It's all my fault. I never expected that Nishimura Yuko would secretly hide the medicine I had already sealed away."

Beside her, Shinobu Kocho clenched her small hands tightly and gritted her teeth.

At this moment, Shinobu Kocho really regretted it. How could she have let Yuko Nishimura discover such an important medicine?

But Su Mu didn't say a word from beginning to end. He just sat there with his head slightly lowered, which made everyone a little worried.

"Please don't take it to heart, sir. People as stubborn as Yuko Nishimura are ultimately a minority; there are many more..."

Kanae Butterfly stepped forward, worried that Su Mu might harbor resentment towards her husband because of this incident.

Although she knew that saying these things at this time would not be of much use, if she were the husband, it would be difficult not to feel sad and heartbroken at this moment.

"Why apologize?"

Su Mu raised his head at this moment: "What's wrong with Nishimura Yuko's behavior? What's wrong with her worrying that I will eventually become a demon like Kibutsuji Muzan? After all, all demons are like that, almost all demons are like that, so it's normal to have such worries."

"even……"
