Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

But it doesn't seem to matter anymore.

Picking up the gun that had fallen to the ground during the battle, Kyojuro Rengoku nodded at the shadows floating among the trees and smiled.

The next moment, the dimensional barrier descended.

"My lord, I have not failed you."

Looking at Kagaya Ubuyashiki in front of him, Kyojuro Rengoku said loudly.

Hearing the voice beside him, Kagaya Ubuyashiki smiled slightly.

It seems I was indeed overthinking things.

Then we should consider a full-scale offensive.

Chapter 720, Section 741: The Scoundrel Boss is Uneasy

"My lord, I have not failed you."

Just before dawn, Kyojuro Rengoku finished his battle and returned to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.

Both battles against Akaza, the third character from the previous game, ended before dawn.

But the results were completely different on the two occasions.

After today, Upper Moon Three may be replaced by other demons.

But Akaza is indeed dead.

Even if an Upper Moon Three were temporarily added, he wouldn't have Akaza's fighting power.

Perhaps long afterward, that demon's power will gradually grow to the level of Akaza.

But now, that's absolutely impossible.

Moreover, the Demon Slayer Corps never intended to simply be on the defensive.

"Thank you for your hard work, Kyojuro."

With a gentle smile, Kagaya Ubuyashiki spoke softly.

He had previously worried that something might happen if Rengoku Kyojuro faced the demon that had almost killed him again.

Now it seems I was worrying unnecessarily.

It's not entirely Kagaya Ubuyashiki's fault, after all, not too much time has passed since the last battle.

It's hard to imagine that Kyojuro Rengoku could make such a qualitative leap in strength in such a short period of time.

Although there was a super genius like Muichiro Toru who could turn a sword into a pillar in just two months.

However, the two cannot be compared.

Just like the time it takes to go from level 1 to level 10 in a game is completely different from the time it takes to go from level 80 to level 90.

Not to mention, even Muichiro Tokito's strength increased at a slower pace after becoming a Pillar.

Now it looks much like the other pillars.

"It's not hard work, my lord."

Shaking his head, Kyojuro Rengoku responded, while looking at Rozen beside him to express his gratitude.

If it weren't for Luo Zhen, this battle would never have happened.

By the time I arrive, the evil spirit may have already left.

It can be said that Ryouma is now a very important part of the Demon Slayer Corps' final offensive.

But for Luo Zhen, this matter was completely dispensable.

He can choose to help the Demon Slayer Corps or choose to kill the Demon King Muzan Kibutsuji alone.

He could even choose to stand by and do nothing, since he had no responsibility to kill Muzan Kibutsuji.

At least in this world, he has no obligation to fight.

But Ryouma still chose to help the Demon Slayer Corps.

Joseph had casually brought up this issue during a meal before.

Luo Zhen thought about it for a moment and then replied:

"Sometimes, you don't need so many reasons to do certain things."

"I did it because I wanted to."

Returning to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, not long after Kyojuro Rengoku finished his battle, the other Pillars also arrived at the mansion.

Incidentally, due to Rengoku Kyojuro's sudden return, as well as the influence of Rozen and Joseph, the Sound Hashira, Tengen Uzui, did not send out his three wives.

After all, the Demon Slayer Corps' previous strategy was to shrink their area of ​​operation and wait until the Pillars could use the power of Ripple in battle before launching a counterattack.

Once the counterattack begins, none of these evil spirits will be able to escape.

Although the battle against demons requires the combined efforts of the entire Demon Slayer Corps.

However, Kagaya Ubuyashiki also knew very well that it was these pillars who would ultimately determine the outcome of the battle.

The swordsmen below will not only be of no help when facing the Demon King, but will even become a burden.

This distracts the pillars from protecting them.

This is a very frustrating situation.

Regardless of what the Pillars might think next, Ryouma had already quietly left the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters at some point.

"how do you feel?"

Walking down the street, Luo Zhen asked Joseph beside him.

For the past few days, Joseph has been teaching those few column ripples some basic applications.

"Generally speaking, teaching others is not really my style."

Joseph stretched and said nonchalantly.

In fact, he has a very clear understanding of his own teaching ability.

While not extremely bad, it's far from good either.

He had previously tried to teach Jotaro Haze.

But clearly, Jotaro didn't learn it.

It's unclear whether it's due to his poor teaching ability or Jotaro's unwillingness to learn.

After all, he asked Jotaro if he wanted to learn Ripple when Jotaro was seventeen years old.

Back then, Jotaro Kujo... well, you know what I mean.

It's not that he had a bad personality, but he was clearly not as gentle and patient as he was later.

Joseph eventually came to terms with it.

That's fine then, it doesn't matter if Jotaro doesn't study.

Joseph said he didn't care.

Meanwhile, in the Infinite City—

Akaza is dead.

A cold voice came.

The alluring woman in a black kimono coldly stared at the several ghosts before her.

Her, or rather, her name is Kibutsuji Muzan.

The progenitor of all evil spirits in this world, the true King of Demons.

But surprisingly, he was quite timid.

There's a saying that describes Muzan like this: He sits in DIO's seat, has Kars's dreams, lives the life of Kira Yoshikage, yet is even more cowardly than Diavolo…

Ahem, we've gotten a bit off-topic.

In front of Muzan Kibutsuji, several other Upper Moons were kneeling on one knee.

Although he is an Upper Moon demon, he is not irreplaceable to Muzan Kibutsuji.

Although it won't be abolished like the lower moons.

But they might get replaced.

Of the demons present, none were unafraid of Muzan Kibutsuji, except for Kokushibo and Doma.

Doma simply doesn't know what fear is because he has no emotions.

The reasons for Kokushibo's actions are complex.

On one hand, it was because of his own abilities, and on the other hand, it was because of his deceased younger brother.

Jikuni Genichi.

After witnessing Muzan Kibutsuji's pathetic state in front of his younger brother, it was really difficult for it to feel any fear towards Muzan Kibutsuji.

He became a demon only to gain a longer lifespan, hoping to use it to hone his swordsmanship and defeat Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

Because it is more like an equal to Muzan.

Unfortunately, it never mastered a sword technique that could defeat Yoriichi Tsugikuni before his death.

Even now, it still dares not say that its swordsmanship can defeat Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

After all, he was her younger brother, who was as extraordinary as a demon.

Whenever I think of Yoriichi Tsugikuni's talent, I also think of how he held back at the end.

Kokushibo would feel very complicated.

What exactly is its current thought?

"whispering sound."

Looking at these Upper Moon demons, Muzan Kibutsuji's mood was far from pleasant.

On one hand, it's because of Akaza's death, and on the other hand, it's because of the demons that have been massacred in the last two days.

Those ghost hunters seem to have mastered the ability to precisely locate ghosts.

No matter where the evil spirits are hiding, they will be found and killed with a strange musket.

This made Muzan Kibutsuji very uneasy.

He opened his mouth, about to say something, when Muzan Kibutsuji suddenly turned his head.

Behind it, a shadow was floating silently.

Chapter 721, Section 742: Joseph: Give it five minutes of Ripple Dash

Nakime's Blood Demon Art can be used to create eyeball clones for intelligence gathering, surveillance, and forcibly teleporting people into the Infinite Castle.

It also allows for free manipulation of the spatial layout of the Infinite City.

It has a certain ability to perceive the space within the Infinite City.

It shares a similar concept with the original Lower Moon Demon, Kyogai.

But it is clearly far superior to Xiangkai in terms of practicality and scope.

Therefore, it is only natural that he was abandoned by Muzan Kibutsuji.

In the past, Muzan Kibutsuji trusted Nakime very much.

I never imagined that anyone could break through Nakime's defenses and enter the Infinity Castle.

After all, while some demon hunters may occasionally appear to be quite strong, they are ultimately just ordinary humans.

Muzan Kibutsuji has always thought this way.

Even someone as powerful as Yoriichi Tsugikuni is nothing more than a handful of dust a hundred years from now.

And Muzan Kibutsuji remains the Demon King standing at the very top of the food chain.
