The Exorcism Tale of Hachiman

"Kill him for me!"

Looking at the "family" surrounding him, Lei breathed a slight sigh of relief.

When it was first used as a shield by the diseased leaves, it summoned these ghosts to help it.

The plan was to have these demons cooperate with Byoyo to attack Hachiman Hikigaya, but Byoyo died so quickly.

But that doesn’t matter anymore.

With the help of its "family", even if Hachiman Hikigaya is stronger, it is absolutely impossible for him to protect Tanjuro Kamado's family!

At Lei's command, the several demons that had just appeared instantly transformed into black shadows and pounced on Hachiman Hikigaya.

Meanwhile, Rui secretly followed behind, his target the boy who had previously warned Hachiman Hikigaya that their weakness was their neck.

"careful!"

Seeing several demons rushing towards the crowd, Hachiman Hikigaya immediately went to meet them.

After easily dispatching several demons who were just there to make up the numbers, only the demon that had blocked his attack with its arm and the seemingly weak but actually high-level demon hiding behind it remained on the field.

Something is wrong!

Hachiman Hikigaya glanced at the spot where he had been standing and immediately realized that the guy had disappeared.

"System, scan the surroundings!"

Without the slightest hesitation, as he turned and rushed towards Tanjiro Kamado, Hachiman Hikigaya activated the system to scan.

In an instant, Rui's figure, hidden in the flying snow, quietly approached Kamado Tanjiro and appeared in his sight.

"Aria of the Virgin Mary!"

The moment he saw Rui's figure clearly, Hachiman Hikigaya activated his skill again, transforming into a blur as he charged towards it.

Chapter 61 The Ghost King Who Was Quite Sneaky

"what?"

As Hikigaya Hachiman pounced on him, Rui, who had no idea how he had been exposed, showed a hint of surprise in his eyes.

It quickly scattered countless spider silk threads, covering Hachiman Hikigaya in an attempt to halt his advance.

At the same time, it turned its head and ran away into the distance.

However, the spider silk that was thrown out was easily deflected by Hachiman Hikigaya.

Immediately afterwards, Hachiman Hikigaya easily caught up with the fleeing Rui and beheaded it from behind, bringing it to a stop.

As Lei's corpse turned into a wisp of black smoke and dissipated, the two demons, Lower Moon Three and Lower Moon Five, who had caused the Demon Slayer Corps so much trouble, vanished from the world.

Just as Hachiman Hikigaya finished dealing with his exhaustion, good news also came from Tanjuro Kamado not far away.

In Hachiman Hikigaya's view, Tanjuro Kamado launched an attack on the demons scattered in four directions at the same time, and the next second, four heads with puzzled expressions shot into the sky.

With all six special-grade demons defeated, only Hachiman Hikigaya, Tanjuro Kamado, and their family members, along with the two demons summoned by Rui, remained on the snow-covered ground.

"Please handle these two ghosts."

Looking at the two high-ranking demons, who were almost equivalent to spirit coins, Kamado Tanjuro raised his hand, signaling Hikigaya Hachiman to end their lives.

"Thank you very much."

Hachiman Hikigaya did not refuse Tanjuro Kamado's offer.

After all, the 1000 spirit coins he gained from the two high-level evil spirits were quite a lot.

Soon, the two demons let out their dying screams, and then the entire snowfield fell silent again.

"Thank you for your help..."

Seeing that Hachiman Hikigaya had easily dealt with the two demons, Tanjuro Kamado, supported by his eldest son Tanjiro Kamado, came over and started talking to him.

"It's nothing, just a small favor..."

Looking at the large family behind Tanjuro Kamado, Hachiman Hikigaya was very glad that he had not refused the system's request for help.

In that situation just now, even if Tanjuro Kamado was incredibly strong, if he hadn't appeared in time, probably not all of these ordinary people would have survived.

Thinking back to her childhood, when Komachi simply ran away from home, her whole family would launch a massive search, looking extremely anxious.

Hachiman Hikigaya couldn't imagine how desperate Tanjuro Kamado would have felt after the battle, facing the corpses of his family members, if he hadn't come.

........

"A bunch of useless bastards!"

Just as Hachiman Hikigaya was about to exchange information with Tanjuro Kamado, a soft, feminine voice suddenly came from a great distance.

"careful!"

Tanjuro Kamado immediately spoke up to warn Hachiman Hikigaya to be aware of the surrounding commotion.

That demon king is coming!

Facing a King-level demon, Hachiman Hikigaya naturally dared not be careless.

He gripped the demon-slaying sword tightly with both hands, and together with Tanjuro Kamado, he protected his family in the center, his eyes constantly watching the surrounding situation.

However, the Demon King Muzan Kibutsuji did not launch a surprise attack from the snowstorm as the two had imagined.

On the contrary, Muzan Kibutsuji swaggered in front of everyone, standing less than 30 meters away from Hachiman Hikigaya, carefully examining this human who had suddenly appeared and disrupted his plans.

"System, do you think my current host and I can take down this guy if we team up?"

Just as Muzan Kibutsuji was sizing up Hachiman Hikigaya, Hachiman Hikigaya was also sizing him up. Moreover, as Hachiman Hikigaya looked at Muzan Kibutsuji, a bold idea came to him.

Tanjuro Kamado's instant kill of four Special-Rank Demons made Hachiman Hikigaya realize that the current master of the AI ​​system was indeed far stronger than him.

It was precisely because of Tanjuro Kamado's strength that Hachiman Hikigaya conceived the idea of ​​killing Muzan Kibutsuji.

After all, judging from how much Muzan Kibutsuji feared Tanjuro Kamado, Tanjuro Kamado's strength was probably even greater than Muzan Kibutsuji's. With him there to restrain and help, they might actually be able to keep this demon king alive.

"Well, for now, this Ghost King is unkillable..."

The system was startled by Hachiman Hikigaya's sudden words.

Joining forces to take down the Ghost King—is that really something its former lazy, good-for-nothing host would say?

"why?"

Hachiman Hikigaya expressed his confusion.

Although Muzan Kibutsuji is undoubtedly very powerful as the big boss of this world, that doesn't mean he's invincible.

"Because this ghost king is incredibly cunning..."

The system explained with a tone full of helplessness.

Do you think it doesn't want to just stay here, with Tanjuro Kamado and Hachiman Hikigaya working together to kill this demon king and end the mission?

Of course it wants to.

The problem is that with their current strength, the two of them simply cannot completely kill Muzan Kibutsuji.

This thing has five brains and seven hearts, and it has an extremely strong regenerative ability!

It can instantly recover from an attack, and can easily and completely restore itself even if its body is cut into pieces.

Aside from sunlight, only the Crimson Blade, which has the same destructive power as sunlight, and the Sun Breathing Thirteenth Form, which is specifically designed to counter this guy, can break Muzan Kibutsuji's almost bug-like regenerative ability.

And most importantly, Muzan Kibutsuji is also incredibly cunning!

At the peak of Kamado Tanjuro's power, this guy would turn and run away as soon as he saw Kamado Tanjuro's face, not giving him and Kamado Tanjuro any time to react!

After sending out countless demons to exhaust Tanjuro Kamado's strength, Muzan Kibutsuji was able to make his move again.

Moreover, the target was not Tanjuro Kamado himself, but his eldest son, Tanjiro Kamado.

After Tanjuro Kamado revealed his Transparent World to save Tanjiro from Muzan Kibutsuji's attack, Muzan didn't press his advantage. Instead, because of Tanjuro's exposed Transparent World, he chose to retreat and send more minions to wear him down...

The system was speechless at how despicable the Ghost King was.

Therefore, when facing Muzan Kibutsuji, the only thing Hachiman Hikigaya and Tanjuro Kamado could do was stall until the sun came out so that Muzan would retreat on his own.

"That's it..."

Upon hearing the system's explanation, Hachiman Hikigaya looked up at Muzan Kibutsuji with surprise. He didn't care how lewd Muzan was. Instead, he was more concerned about its self-healing ability.

If all King-level evil spirits possess the same strength as this guy, then just how powerful must the exorcists be to suppress the entire East Japan with only five people, making all evil spirits afraid to act recklessly!

Is it really okay for such a powerful figure to appear in his world?

"call out!"

Just as Hachiman Hikigaya was sighing in his heart, a sudden whooshing sound came from the air.

"careful!"

Tanjuro Kamado, who was keeping a close eye on Muzan Kibutsuji's movements, instantly appeared in front of Hachiman Hikigaya and blocked Muzan Kibutsuji's sudden sneak attack with his sword.

Chapter 62 Spells - Defense

Kibutsuji Muzan slowly retracted his elongated arm.

The sneak attack he just launched was merely a spur-of-the-moment decision he made when he saw Hachiman Hikigaya momentarily distracted.

If you hit it, that's a good thing, but if you miss, it's okay too.

After all, he had already realized from Hachiman Hikigaya's reaction speed that this mysterious guy who came out of the black vortex had not deliberately concealed his strength in the previous battle as he had thought.

Then, unexpectedly revealing their true strength, they cooperated with Tanjuro Kamado to keep him here.

This guy is really bad!

Having realized that Hachiman Hikigaya's strength was only comparable to the Pillars of this world, Muzan Kibutsuji focused most of his attention on Tanjuro Kamado.

After all, Tanjuro Kamado had now mastered the Transparent World and the first twelve forms of Sun Breathing.

And he also has markings on his forehead!

By all accounts, Tanjuro Kamado is far more dangerous than Hachiman Hikigaya.

"Should we just leave?"
