Demon Slayer: The Journey That Began When I Became Yoriichi's Sister

Chapter 374 Seizing Control of Nakime

when!

The sound of the pipa rang out again!

Obanai Iguro and Mitsuri Kanroji were slashing at the demons in front of them when they tried to distract themselves, but they didn't see anything unusual.

Yushiro also saw Nakime's movements, but he didn't rush. Instead, he held his breath and focused on reducing the chances of being discovered.

He was very confident in his blood demon magic, but this caution was a habit formed over hundreds of years.

Yushiro confirmed that he and Biwaki were the only two people on the platform.

With only that pipa demon left, it's the perfect opportunity to strike!

With that thought in mind, Yushiro quietly slipped away.

……

At the same time, the instant Nakime responded, Muzan's figure vanished from his spot, transforming into a blurry bloody shadow as he rushed towards Yuuko.

Yuko's alert system immediately went off, and she retreated at lightning speed.

At the same time, she gradually covered the ice beneath her feet, attempting to stop Muzan's movements.

But Muzan's resolve was terrifyingly firm.

This time, his speed was extraordinary, far surpassing Muzan's previous weakened state. He actually managed to forcefully break through Yuko's blockade and rush to her side.

The ferocious claws, along with the menacing whip, lunged at Yuko. Yuko quickly retreated, wielding her Nichirin Blade to sever sections of the long, fleshy whip.

Muzan had anticipated this, and the long tentacle whips on his legs had grown out at some point. Under the cover of the whips on his back, they rushed to Yuuko's feet and quickly wrapped around her legs.

Seeing that Yuko was frozen in place, Muzan immediately followed.

Yuko forced herself to calm down.

"Blood Demon Art..."

Just as she was about to make a move, a flash of orange light suddenly appeared in her eyes.

Looking down, a doorway suddenly appeared beneath my feet.

That pipa player...

Muzan wasn't trying to stall her; she was his target.

Before Yuko could even figure out Muzan's intentions, Muzan had already stepped over, seemingly planning to be teleported away with her.

Yuko's pupils suddenly contracted as she realized a possibility.

If it's really what she thinks, then we're in trouble.

While she was pondering, Yuko did not stop struggling. She first cut the long whip binding her legs with a knife, and then swung the thorny whip at Muzan with her other hand.

Muzan didn't even bother to dodge, taking the whip directly without a second thought. He ignored the bloody gash on his chest and reached out to grab Yuko.

His eyes grew increasingly crazed; he was almost there!

...Gotcha!!!

Yuko's shoulder was crushed by the immense force, and in pain, Muzan stepped into the doorway.

"Nakome!!!" Muzan shouted in his mind again, as if afraid that she would lose her senses.

The orange light beneath my feet grew brighter and brighter, and the door suddenly opened, giving me a feeling of weightlessness.

Yuko was still trying to break free from Muzan's restraints, but even though Muzan's strength was somewhat weakened, she couldn't break free immediately when they were so close.

At the very least, the Pipa Demon would open the door faster than she is breaking free now.

Muzan grinned wickedly: "Haha, this time, I've won!"

He won!

Although we lost Nakime, a useful subordinate, it was a great deal to eliminate the Demon Slayer Corps' high-end combat power!

Yuko felt a chill, and the feeling of weightlessness beneath her feet caused their bodies to plummet downwards.

In a flash, I was no longer in the same place.

All around, there are buildings flying horizontally, inserting themselves into the platform below.

Below, the two pillars are locked in a fierce battle.

Yuko broke out in a cold sweat. What did this mean?

Muzan's pupils suddenly contracted.

"What's going on! Nakime!!!"

Why are we still in the Infinite City?!

Unfortunately, his cries went unanswered.

……

Go back in time a little.

Just as Muzan captured Ikuko, Yushiro successfully arrived behind Nakime, and then...

The talisman representing the obscuring of vision was affixed to Nakime's enormous eyeballs, blocking her correct vision.

That's why his Blood Demon Art is so effective.

Immediately afterwards, Yushiro, whose entire body was covered with talismans that concealed his aura, stood behind Nakime, spread his fingers, and inserted them into Nakime's brain.

Great, the first step was a success.

Next, they would invade her mind, break Muzan's control, and seize control of her thoughts as well.

It was because of this intrusion that Nakime's movement deviated, and she was unable to throw the two of them to the ground; she only teleported a short distance.

Compared to the somewhat bewildered Yuuko, Muzan quickly realized that something had happened to Nakime's side.

Sure enough, he immediately noticed Nakime's condition through the cells in her body.

When he saw Yushiro, he went completely insane: "You bastard! What have you done?!"

"What are you doing?" Yushiro spoke to Muzan through Nakime, "I'm going to blast you out of the ground!"

"Prepare yourself to die, Muzan!"

Yushiro didn't give Muzan a chance to react; the entire Infinity Castle suddenly began to shake violently.

"What's going on?" Kanroji Mitsuri almost lost her balance and fell, but fortunately Iguro Obanai helped her up.

“No…” Obanai Iguro helped the person up and looked around. The demons were so shaken by the sudden tremor that they could barely stand, while in the distance, buildings were shaking like leaves.

"The entire Infinite City is shaking."

The Demon Slayer swordsman who had joined the two hurriedly asked, "What should we do, Lord Iguro?"

Obanai Iguro was speechless.

He had no idea what had happened.

In the distance, Tanjiro and his group, who were about to reach the battlefield, also felt the ground shaking beneath their feet.

"what happened?"

"Someone is manipulating the Infinite City."

And it's quite simple, this person must be that pipa ghost.

Before everyone could figure it out, the building beneath their feet suddenly rose rapidly into the sky.

Faced with this phenomenon that was almost like a super force, everyone was helpless and could only be carried into the sky.

Inside the Infinite City, buildings began to rise, and the speed increased rapidly. One could even feel the immense pressure brought about by the rapid rise, threatening to crush their bodies.

They're going to be carried to the ground!

Once Muzan realized what was happening, he immediately began to fight with Yushiro for control of Nakime.

Yushiro's hands, which were placed on either side of Nakime's head, turned red rapidly, as if the cells in his hands were collapsing.

It's still too difficult to contend with Muzan.

"Aaaaaah!!" Veins bulged on Yushiro's face, and sweat poured out uncontrollably.

Suddenly, Yuko slashed at Muzan with her sword.

"Damn it!" Muzan gritted his teeth, forced to relinquish control of Nakime.

Holding her Nichirin Blade, Yuko smiled slightly: "I see. Yushiro succeeded."

If she still couldn't figure out what was happening after seeing Muzan's current state, then she would be incredibly stupid.

The Infinite Castle wasn't elevated because of Nakime, but rather by Yushiro.
