Simultaneous travel: I am proving the great way in the heavens.

Chapter 136 The Death of Millions of Humans! A Peep into the Distant Future!

Without waiting for the Demon Slayer Corps members to speak, Ubuyashiki Yoya spoke up, "Ever since I learned about the failure of the last siege on Kumotoriki Mountain, I have specifically looked up the records of the Demon Slayer Corps. Although many records have been lost due to the catastrophe, I still found a lot of records about Luofu."

After a slight pause, and after his words had attracted the attention of all the members of the Demon Slayer Corps, Ubuyashiki Yoya continued, "Luo Fu was once a pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps. He created his own Star Breathing according to the source of the breathing method and became a star pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps. However, in the disaster that followed the Demon Slayer Corps, Luo Fu almost died at the hands of evil spirits along with the Demon Slayer Corps."

"What disaster is it?" Flame Pillar Rengoku Kyojuro asked in surprise, "Could it be that the other members of the Demon Slayer Corps didn't help Luo Fu, and just let him fight the evil spirits alone?"

Shaking his head, Ubuyashiki Yoya said, "I am also confused about this. However, because the Demon Slayer Corps has been attacked by evil spirits several times, many records have been interrupted. Luo Fu's experience is one of them. For this reason, I specially found the elders of my wife's family and asked them to check what the Demon Slayer Corps encountered during the same period!"

“Could it be that…” Uzui Tengen suddenly seemed to have thought of something and asked in surprise, “How many times have the Demon Slayer Corps been destroyed?”

With an approving smile, Ubuyashiki Yoya's expression changed, and he said in a serious tone: "That's right! After checking the records of my wife's family, I can confirm that the Demon Slayer Corps was destroyed by evil spirits more than once, and the inheritance was almost cut off several times. Now, we don't know how many times it has been rebuilt, and Luofu was transformed into an evil spirit during one of the destructions of the Demon Slayer Corps."

"But even so, wouldn't the lord worship an evil ghost as a god? Even...even..." Beimingyu Xingmei clasped his hands together. As a monk, he watched the lord of the Demon Slayer Corps wanting his descendants to worship an evil ghost as a god. No matter what, Beimingyu Xingmei found it difficult to accept.

Ubuyashiki Yoya smiled bitterly and said, "Luofu... is different. In fact, after knowing Luofu, I have seen several futures. At the beginning of the siege of Yunqu Mountain, I saw him become the new ghost king in the future, and even caused the death of nearly ten million people in the entire country."

"hiss!"

The sounds of people gasping for air came one after another.

Tens of millions of casualties, what does this mean?
You have to know that the population of the entire island nation, all added together, is only a few tens of millions.

Especially now that the war is just beginning and has not actually broken out, tens of millions of casualties can only be described as hell on earth in the eyes of anyone.

Ignoring the shock of the other Demon Slayer Corps members, in fact, when they first predicted the future, even Ubuyashiki Yoya was shocked by the horrific scene caused by Luofu. That's why there was a siege by several Pillar-level masters at Kumotori Mountain.

You know, under normal circumstances, after discovering the traces of evil spirits, the Demon Slayer Corps will often send a few members to investigate first to determine whether the pillars need to appear.

Unless the news about the Ghost King is confirmed, it is normally impossible for several pillars to join forces to deal with an evil ghost.

In the final analysis, there are too few pillars in the Demon Slayer Corps, only a few of them. Even if they work day and night, it is impossible to leave all the evil spirits to the pillars to deal with.

This is also the reason why the members of the Demon Slayer Corps often have a high probability of sacrificing their lives.

As for the lack of intelligence on evil ghosts, all they could do was to take chances with human lives. When they got wind of evil ghosts, they would send out team members. If the evil ghosts were killed, everyone would be happy. But if the ghost hunters died, they would send out stronger ghost hunters, and the cycle would repeat.

If they are unlucky and fail to determine the identity of the evil ghost that killed the ghost hunter, one mission may even result in the Demon Slayer Corps sacrificing multiple ghost hunters like the Demon Slayer Corps's "add fuel to the fire" tactic.

Only for the mission at Kumotoyama, the treatment that Luofu received from the Demon Slayer Corps almost surpassed that of the other Upper and Lower Moons.

The reason is that, with his own abilities, Ubuyashiki Yoya saw the bleak future of the island nation.

"Such a demon... Such a demon..." Beimingyu Xingming's voice began to tremble. Millions of casualties were really too terrifying.

"Everyone calm down first!" Ubuyashiki Yoshiya waved his hand and said, "The reason why I made this decision just now is not because Luofu is too powerful, so powerful that we can't do anything to him, but... his future is constantly changing. After Kumoqu Mountain, the future I saw is even more terrifying. The entire country, in the distant future, has completely sunk!"

Now, the Demon Slayer Corps members were even more shocked.

The island nation is sinking?

This is the disappearance of thousands of people!

Even if those powerful people were able to leave by boat in time, with the small remaining population, there would probably be no hope of rebuilding the country.

"For the third time." Ubuyashiki Yoshiya's voice soon sounded again. "The future has changed again, but this time the change is for the better. He has become a god believed in by countless people."

After a slight pause, Ubuyashiki Yoya said with a bit of weirdness in his tone: "Even Luofu's strength seems to have reached an incredible level, because when I used my ability to peek into the future, he seemed to feel my sight and glanced at me across time."

Now the members of the Demon Slayer Corps could no longer hold back.

Across time, from the distant future, he saw the present Ubuyashiki Kakuya, and even noticed that the present Ubuyashiki Kakuya was spying on him?

If this is not considered being a god, then what level of godhood must one reach?
For a moment, all members of the Demon Slayer Corps fell silent.

Emotionally, they couldn't accept that a former evil ghost had become a god worshipped by the Demon Slayer Corps' master's family. But rationally, compared to the disappearance of tens of millions of people and even the sinking of an entire country, it was a big deal.

There is no doubt that Ubuyashiki Yoshiya's decision almost saved the world.

"Don't worry, everyone." Ubuyashiki Yoya seemed to know that telling the members of the Demon Slayer Corps what he had seen about the future would only increase everyone's inner pressure.

He quickly comforted him, "Luo Fu, after leaving Yunqu Mountain, he completely got rid of his identity as an evil ghost. He is not afraid of sunlight, does not need to feed on humans, has an infinite lifespan, and has infinite magical powers. Such a great existence will not be like the current ghost king, who will act recklessly towards humans, and even...

Ubuyashiki Yoya did not say the next words, but the members of the Demon Slayer Corps present all knew them clearly.

If Luofu really mastered the power like a god or devil.

Then, their vigilance against Luofu would lose all meaning.

It’s as if, no matter how afraid of humans are, humans can completely destroy a huge ant kingdom with just a little insecticide. Even human babies, with just a little curiosity, can cause unparalleled harm to ants.

But who among normal humans would stare at ants all day long?
And the Luofu of the future... no, even the Luofu of the present has already opened up a huge gap between it and humans.

No matter how much the Demon Slayer Corps hate evil demons, they have to admit that if what Ubuyashiki Yoya said was true, then even if the Demon Slayer Corps tried their best, they would not be able to cause any damage to Luofu.

When it only involves oneself and a few people, doing something knowing it is impossible is a kind of fearless courage. But when it involves the continuation of the entire ethnic group, doing something knowing it is impossible is not courage but stupidity.

They themselves do have an irreconcilable blood feud with the evil spirits, but if they were to bring about a catastrophic disaster to an entire country or even humanity just because of their own hatred, no member of the Demon Slayer Corps would be able to do such a thing.

In the final analysis, although the members of the Demon Slayer Corps are Japanese, there are still certain differences between them and the truly crazy Japanese.

At the very least, they could not watch the entire country, and even humanity, facing the hostility of a god-like existence.

On the Demon Slayer Corps side, everyone fell silent.

Using his spatial ability, he returned to the wisteria garden not far from Yoshiwara Yukaku.

As soon as he came back, Luofu saw Tamayo and Yushiro, carrying the prostitute Futaro and his sister who had been chopped into human pigs, and appeared in front of him.

"My lord, this pair of siblings seem to have very strange lives. If you kill any one of them, they can be resurrected in a very short time." Zhu Shi threw the Daki aside, bowed to Luo Fu, and said, "I have been presumptuous and gave a seed of energy bestowed by you to this pair of siblings. They... they want to join you, so please make the decision."

I saw Tamayo kneeling on the ground.

Luo Fu raised his eyebrows, glanced at the prostitutes, Taro and his sister, and said, "I don't accept all garbage."

Indeed, the experiences of Jifutaro and his sister were indeed pitiful, even unbearable to hear about, but after becoming evil spirits, their cruelty was truly unforgivable.

You know, Luofu was once an upper-rank demon, and was even able to surpass the ranking of Jifutaro and his sister.

Of course he knew very well what the Jifutaro siblings had done.

Dakimakime is indeed very beautiful and charming. It is not an exaggeration to say that Dakimakime is the most beautiful existence in the entire Demon Slayer world.

But unfortunately, Luofu is not the kind of person whose values ​​are influenced by his five senses.

With his current strength, character and cultivation, his simple appearance is no longer able to shake Luofu's mind.

Their eyes flashed slightly, and an inexplicable flame instantly burned from the bodies of Jifutaro and Daki.

With just a short scream, the brother and sister who were chopped into human pigs turned into ashes in an instant.

At the same time Luofu dealt with the Jifutaro siblings.

In a luxurious manor in Tokyo.

The man in a suit, who looked quite elegant, frowned suddenly, and then his expression became hideous and distorted in an instant.

"Damn it, damn it, Luo Fu, you must die."

Following an angry roar, the door quickly opened, and a mother and daughter appeared in the room, full of worry.

"Anada, what happened?"

Accompanied by the mother's questions between mother and daughter.

Muzan Kibutsuji suddenly seemed to have found a target to vent his anger, and his eyes flashed.

One after another, flesh-and-blood whips that looked like tentacles emerged from his body like lightning. As the mother and daughter were in panic, these whips came at them like lightning. Before they could even utter a scream, they were torn into pieces by these flesh-and-blood whips.

Wuneng furiously vented his inner anger towards Luofu on the innocent mother and daughter, and only then did Muzan Kibutsuji seem to feel a little better.

He spoke softly, but his tone was unquestionable. Muzan Kibutsuji used his own blood as a guide to convey his orders to all the evil spirits.

Kill Luofu at all costs.

Deep down, Muzan Kibutsuji had a feeling that if he could not kill Luofu, then Luofu would surpass Yoriichi Tsugikoku, who had left a deep impression on him and even imprinted that fear deep in his blood.

He escaped from the hands of Tsugaru Yoshiichi and survived, but Luofu... he was not Tsugaru Yoshiichi. As a human being, he had a limited lifespan.

If he cannot kill Luofu, who was transformed into an evil ghost by himself, in a short time, then he will never have peace in the future, and he may not even be able to stay in this country.

Muzan Kibutsuji does not want to leave the country where he has lived for a thousand years like a stray dog.

Then, we can only find a way to let Luofu die.

It was only through the connection between blood that he saw Luofu's ability to understate the situation when he killed Jifutaro and his sister.

However, Muzan Kibutsuji felt that every cell in his body seemed to be emitting fear of Luofu.

In this situation, the boss's approach is, of course, to let his subordinates serve as victims.

If all the evil spirits could be gathered together to kill Luofu, that would of course be the best. But if they fail, no matter how unwilling Muzan Kibutsuji is, he will have to leave the country temporarily in order to survive.

All over the island.

Without Mingnu, the blood demon jutsu who possesses spatial abilities.

The Upper and Lower Moon Demons who were previously summoned to the Infinite Castle by Muzan Kibutsuji took a long time to return to their old nests.

But he didn't have much time to relax, as he soon received another mission from Muzan Kibutsuji.

If it weren't for the fear of Muzan Kibutsuji that was deep in his bones.

These evil ghosts are probably cursing their mothers.

The mission issued by Muzan Kibutsuji was too vague, almost like the blue spider lily that they had been looking for all these years.

As for the Blue Spider Lily, they only knew a vague appearance, and as for Luofu, apart from knowing that he was once a member of the evil spirits, and an upper-rank demon at that, they only knew that the brother and sister of Jifu Taro from the Upper Limit Road had just died at the hands of Luofu.

But the latter, at best, could only allow them to determine that Luofu should have been around Yoshiwara Yuguo before, but no one knew where he would go after that.

Muzan Kibutsuji has always been of this type of character, he would rather his friends die than let himself die.

In order to survive, he absolutely doesn't mind sacrificing anyone to fulfill himself.

After handing over the person who killed Luofu to a group of Upper and Lower Rank Demons, Muzan Kibutsuji was still a little worried, and even made up his mind to leave the island country for a while.

Luo Fu didn't know that the psychological trauma he caused to Muzan Kibutsuji was almost surpassing that of Yoriichi Tsugikoku.

Although, Luofu did not confront Muzan Kibutsuji directly, unlike Tsugakuni Yoriichi, who gave Muzan Kibutsuji 1,800 swords in person and almost killed the Demon King.

However, the way Luofu killed the prostitutes, Taro and his sister, made Muzan Kibutsuji truly feel the horrible threat deep in his blood.

It was a terrifying method that could directly wipe out the demon blood, without the help of any breathing method, and even the Sun Blade. If we say that Tsugikoku Yoriichi used the Sun Breathing to instantly cut Muzan Kibutsuji 1,800 times, he would have deeply imprinted his terror deep in Muzan Kibutsuji's blood.

Then Luofu carved his own terror into Muzan Kibutsuji's consciousness like a knife or an axe.

For Muzan Kibutsuji, the fear for Tsugumi Yoriichi is an instinctive fear of life, but for Luofu, it is a trembling from the bottom of his soul.

On Luofu's side, after getting rid of the Jifutaro siblings, he made the same decision as if he had a telepathic connection with Muzan Kibutsuji.

Muzan Kibutsuji wants to kill Luofu, but Luofu is not going to keep Muzan Kibutsuji anymore.

After all, if Muzan Kibutsuji were to spread his demon blood on a large scale in the island country, even Luofu would find it difficult to suppress a terrifying race that is almost immortal except for the use of sunlight and the Sun Blade to behead people.

Especially now that a war is about to break out, Luofu can no longer let Muzan Kibutsuji go.

Fortunately, Muzan Kibutsuji was a loser himself. If he hadn't been lucky, when he was seriously ill and dying, he would have met the pharmacist who created the pharmacy that transformed ordinary people into evil spirits.

He must have died in the Heian period a thousand years ago.

In essence, apart from being lucky, Muzan Kibutsuji does not have the awareness, breadth of mind, or wisdom of a strong man.

He relied more on his preconceived transformation into an evil ghost and tasted the sweetness of being the first evil ghost.

Apart from this, there is nothing redeeming about Muzan Kibutsuji.

From the Heian period to the present, nearly a thousand years have passed.

Muzan Kibutsuji has hardly grown at all, and he can't even find a chance to complete the prescription left by the pharmacist. This shows how incompetent Muzan Kibutsuji is.

Such a team, apart from having the first-mover advantage, has no other opponents worth paying attention to. In Luofu's eyes, it would be better to just kill them as soon as possible.

If he lets Muzan Kibutsuji continue to live, who knows what kind of troublesome things this cowardly guy will do after being scared by himself once.

After deciding to kill Muzan Kibutsuji, Luofu no longer hid himself.

He openly restored his former image as an evil spirit and moved around Yoshiwara Yukaku.

On the Demon Slayer Corps side, after Ubuyashiki Kyouya elevated Rofu's image from an evil ghost to the level of a god or devil, no member of the Demon Slayer Corps dared to call for the killing of Rofu anymore.

Of course, it's not that there is really not one. For example, Shinobu Kocho, who is not a Pillar yet, expresses her anger from time to time about Luofu holding her sister, Kanae Kocho, hostage. She even said more than once that she must research a potion that can poison Luofu to save her sister.

Since they wanted to completely destroy the evil spirits, and since Luofu had Butterfly Kanae, the members of the Demon Slayer Corps naturally came to the wisteria garden in Yoshiwara Yukuo where Luofu was staying.

After all, Luofu's actions were so ostentatious and undisguised, unless Muzan Kibutsuji was really scared by Luofu.

Otherwise, a fierce battle would inevitably break out between Luofu and the evil ghost.

This is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Demon Slayer Corps, who used to have to spend all their energy searching for the traces of evil spirits.

Another day has passed quickly.

Shinobu Kocho, who had been clinging to her sister Kanae Kocho, finally couldn't hold back and said to Luo Fu, "Hey, you, are you sure? We've been waiting for so long, and not even one evil spirit has appeared around Yoshiwara Yuugaku."

"I think you should call me brother-in-law. What did I do wrong to make you disrespect me like this? You never even called me brother-in-law."

Luo Fu's words immediately made Butterfly Kanae blush.

Shinobu Kocho, who was standing by, had a pretty face that swelled up like a pufferfish because of anger.

"Don't talk nonsense, sister...sister will not marry you." Butterfly said angrily.

Shinobu Kocho didn't really care too much about the fact that Luofu kept the Kamado family by his side.

The truth is, although the island nation of this period had undergone decades of reform and opening up, the concepts of the old era had still not disappeared from the general public's consciousness.

This is especially true for an organization like the Demon Slayer Corps that adheres to tradition.

After knowing Luofu's strength, Shinobu Kocho actually did not object to Luofu being able to be with his sister.

In the final analysis, the current Butterfly Kanae is no longer a real human being. Although because of the special nature of Luofu, the evil spirits transformed by Luofu do not need to feed on human flesh and blood, Butterfly Kanae is already a human being after all.

During this period of time, almost all members of the Demon Slayer Corps, except for a few members like the slow-witted Flame Pillar Rengoku Kyojuro, could see the obviously ambiguous relationship between Luo Fu and Kamado Aoi.

As I said, the island country is still in a special state of alternation between the old and the new. The top leaders have accepted Western ideas and have begun to move away from Asia and into Europe.

But most of the general public are still cognizant of ancient feudal ideas.

If Luofu really took Aoi Kamado and her sister Kanae Kocho into the back house, even Shinobu Kocho would not have any objection.

Even though Luofu had his eyes on Nezuko Kamado, Shinobu Kocho and the others had gotten used to it.

The truth is, those powerful people have much more fun than Luofu Hua.

Just being able to accept it doesn't mean that Shinobu Kocho has no objections at all.

After all, they are sisters. Even without Luofu, after Kanae Kocho died at the hands of Douma, Shinobu Kocho changed her previous habits and moved closer to her sister in every move.

To some extent, Shinobu Kocho can be considered a sister-con.

"Really?" Luo Fu laughed dumbly, looked at Kocho Shinobu playfully and said, "Then what do you think, if I propose to your sister now, guess whether your sister will agree or refuse?"

"You..." Shinobu Kocho's face suddenly turned red.

Is there any need to ask this? In Shinobu Kocho's opinion, her sister can no longer find a more suitable partner except Luo Fu.

The average age of the Demon Slayer Corps members is less than 20 years old. Logically, this is the age when young people should be in love with each other. However, there seem to be very few lovers in the Demon Slayer Corps.

The reason for all this is actually quite simple.

One reason is that they need to practice breathing techniques, so younger members have more advantages. In this world, except for evil spirits, everything else is almost scientific, or in other words, even if there are souls in this world.

But it still tends to be more materialistic.

In the Demon Slayer Corps, almost all members carry their own misfortunes, and their misfortunes are almost all caused by evil demons.

Compared to their hatred for evil spirits, few members of the Demon Slayer Corps would think about their personal love affairs.

In the entire Demon Slayer Corps, apart from the lord Ubuyashiki Kōya, who is married and has children, the only other person who is married or has a lover is probably the Sound Pillar, Tengen Uzui.

Of course, the Love Pillar, Mitsuri Kanroji, who in the future could not get married because of her special circumstances and joined the Demon Slayer Corps after being told that she could find a lover, has not joined the Demon Slayer Corps yet.

Among the future Pillar-level members of the Demon Slayer Corps, Mitsuri Kanroji is probably the one with the strongest innate conditions.

Compared with normal, the muscle density is eight times higher, which is abnormal in itself.

"Lord Luofu, please stop teasing Shinobu." Kocho Kanae was like a textbook Yamato Nadeshiko. Luofu and Kocho Shinobu were arguing about her affairs, but Kocho Kanae seemed not to care about it at all.

"Sister." Butterfly came to Butterfly Kanae with dissatisfaction, and held her sister's arm with both arms, saying: "This guy must have started to plot against you a long time ago, you must be careful of this guy."

Luo Fu felt really wronged at this moment.

Whether it was his predecessor, or after he was forcibly transformed into a demon, until now when his memory was awakened, Luo Fu had never had any ambiguous relationship with women.

Now, in Shinobu Kocho's mouth, Luofu suddenly became like a playboy. How could this be described with just one word of injustice?

Just as Luo Fu was about to start explaining, his eyes suddenly froze and he looked in a certain direction outside Yoshiwara Yuguo.

After following Luofu for such a long time, Butterfly Kanae's sensitive mind naturally allowed her to figure out some of Luofu's habits.

Luo Fu's performance at this moment made Butterfly Kanae become a little nervous for a moment.

"Lord Luofu? Is... the Ghost King coming?" Butterfly Kanae said seriously.

Luo Fu shook his head and said, "Kizan Kibutsuji Muzan will not easily put himself in danger. Before he is fully confident, this guy will only use the lives of his subordinates to test my strength. If I show a strength that makes him despair, this guy will probably hide completely and not show up for hundreds or even thousands of years. Of course, I think this guy is more likely to flee abroad directly!"

For Luofu, whether Muzan Kibutsuji hides or goes abroad directly, it will be a trouble.

Although Muzan Kibutsuji is indeed despicable, it is undeniable that this guy's means of saving his life are indeed very strong, and his methods are so many that they are outrageous.

If he really wanted to hide, even Luofu would not be able to dig him out in a short time.

Of course, the more important thing is that Luofu will not waste too much of his time on Muzan Kibutsuji.

Compared to giving up improving one's own strength just to deal with Muzan Kibutsuji, for Luofu, what's wrong with hiding from Muzan Kibutsuji who poses no threat?

In the future, if someone who possesses some mysterious means appears in the shared space,

For example, if he had the ability of divination, Luofu would be able to lock onto Muzan Kibutsuji's whereabouts in an instant, so why bother with all the trouble now?
As for the fact that Muzan Kibutsuji was going abroad, Luofu had to be on guard.

The train of thought of Muzan Kibutsuji is really hard to understand.

If he went directly to Europe or the United States after leaving the country, that would be fine, but what I am afraid of is that this guy went to the mainland.

If this situation really happened, even Luofu would have to be cautious.

Luofu is not afraid that Muzan Kibutsuji is hiding now, but he is afraid that Muzan Kibutsuji will get hot-headed and go directly to the East. By then, even if Luofu can find this guy, he may not be able to let Muzan Kibutsuji bask in the sun.

The impact on the East is irreversible.

With such concerns in mind, Luo Fu naturally wanted to cut the Gordian knot.

With decisive and efficient means, the hidden danger of Muzan Kibutsuji was completely eliminated.

Hearing that Muzan Kibutsuji did not show up, Shinobu Kocho was a little disappointed at first. Soon, Kanae Kocho, who was standing beside her, seemed to have thought of something and said in a serious tone: "Lord Luofu, could it be that, except for Muzan Kibutsuji, all other evil spirits have already arrived around Yoshiwara Yukaku?"

Shinobu Kocho's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

The difference in strength between the Upper and Lower Rank demons is as huge as the gap between heaven and earth, but the difference between the Lower Rank demons and ordinary evil spirits is much greater than the difference between them and the Upper Rank demons.

You know, even though the Demon Slayer Corps seems to have a lot of people, they do seem to be fighting with evil demons and it's quite lively.

But in fact, until Tanjiro Kamado joined the Demon Slayer Corps, the greatest achievement of the Demon Slayer Corps was finding the traces of a few Lower-rank demons and killing them after paying a great price.

As for the Upper-rank demons, they have not encountered even a single Upper-rank demon since the Demon Slayer Corps was destroyed and rebuilt after Tsugaru Yoriichi.

And Luofu was so sure about what he said, didn't it just prove that they were going to fight against the legendary upper-rank demon?

Even though he knew that the purpose of this trip was to assist Luofu and completely kill all the evil spirits.

But after knowing the existence of the Upper Moon Demons, Shinobu Kocho, who was so noisy just now, now fell silent.

The truth is, the threat posed by the upper-rank demons is really too strong.

Before this, Shinobu Kocho had never encountered an upper-rank demon, let alone a lower-rank demon.

At best, what she faced were just some evil spirits that were like small fry in the eyes of Muzan Kibutsuji.

But even so, no one knows how many members of the Demon Slayer Corps fell at the hands of those small evil spirits.

The lower-rank demons are already terrifying existences like the ultimate bosses, let alone the upper-rank demons.

(End of this chapter)
