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

Chapter 381 You can sleep a little longer.

This is a better plan based on facts.

The closer we get to dawn, the slower we lose manpower, and the greater our chance of holding off Muzan.

Yes, Tamayo had no doubt that Muzan had the ability to defeat a group like the Demon Slayer Corps.

My only worry is that Muzan will find a chance to escape.

The key lies in whether Yuko can hold off Muzan before the medicine takes effect.

After being modified by her, Yuuko's Blood Demon Art was further enhanced, demon transformation became a regular occurrence, and her physical exertion was greatly reduced, giving her the ability to fight against Muzan.

Compared to Muzan's simple Blood Demon Art, Yuuko possesses absolute dominance in Blood Demon Art.

The problem is that while becoming stronger doesn't alleviate the issue of physical exhaustion.

The long battle that dragged on from midnight to dawn, lasting six or seven hours, was a high-consumption fight against Muzan. Yuko might not be able to hold on.

Despite knowing Ikuko's aversion to human flesh, Tamayo still sincerely offered her advice.

When faced with Tamayo's suggestion, Ikuko refused without hesitation: "No, it's disgusting."

Tamayo: "..."

This was the first time she had ever heard a ghost say that human flesh was disgusting.

Tamayo looked helpless and said gently, "Don't be in such a hurry to refuse. Just this once is fine."

It's just once, just this one time I'm breaking the rule. It doesn't have to be a living person; the flesh of a dead person will do.

As long as Yuko has a full meal this time, she will have the ability to fight for a long time.

Tamayo wasn't a demon who craved meat, and she didn't want to pin the blame on Ikuko, but she still spoke up if it could help them defeat Muzan more effectively.

“Not even once. That thing only works zero times or countless times.” Yu Zi shook her head decisively.

Moreover, although she didn't have any physical aversion to it, she couldn't accept it psychologically.

"But Muzan..."

"Don't worry, I believe in your abilities, Tamayo." Yuko gave her a reassuring smile. "As long as you inject your weakening potion into Muzan's body, his body will also weaken."

"I've become weaker, and he's become weaker too, so it's practically the same as nothing."

Tamayo: "..."

That's what they say, but why does it sound so mysterious to her?

"Besides, even if I ate his flesh, I still wouldn't be able to kill Muzan directly." Yuko shrugged and continued, "If we can only stall him, there's really not much difference, right?"

It's simply a matter of being a little better or a little worse.

Tamayo opened her mouth, about to nod helplessly, but then heard Ikuko complain:

"Speaking of which, I had been on a hunger strike for so long that I had no interest in flesh and blood, but they insisted on making me drink that red tea, which made me break my vow."

Tamayo's face twitched: "Very good, remember what you said."

Someone really has no self-awareness; they drank a month's worth of her and Yushiro's drink.

Now they're blaming her instead.

Whether Ikuko was just stalling or deliberately changing the subject, Tamayo's plan to persuade Ikuko to eat something failed.

Although Tamayo had some regrets, she wasn't a demon who forced Ikuko to eat human flesh.

With the help of Yushiro's talisman, Tamayo, like Ubuyashiki Kagaya, assessed the situation between the two sides.

Judging from the current situation, Yuko has succeeded; she has successfully stalled until the medicine begins to take effect.

Tamayo's potion was not as simple as it seemed. Muzan's disintegration did not have the effect he expected. Instead, it made Tamayo's poison even more potent. However, Muzan was unaware of all this.

The frequent battles have made Muzan less aware of his own condition, and now that things have dragged on, their chances of winning are very high.

I just don't know... how much longer Yuko can hold on.

Ghosts are immortal beings; they only consume physical strength. And as physical strength diminishes, a ghost's rationality decreases, and it becomes increasingly hungry.

This is not the same as lying still and waiting for the hunger to subside.

I'll go crazy.

Tamayo was especially worried about Ikuko.

……

But Yuko thought it was alright.

Before the final battle, she ate up all of Tamayo and Yushiro's food supplies for a month.

As long as you eat a lot, whether it's water or rice, you'll be full.

"Whoa! I'm standing up!" Inosuke raised his hands above his head and roared to the sky.

"Are you an idiot?" Zenitsu muttered, his legs still feeling a little weak.

Tanjiro had sweat on his forehead and a rather serious expression.

They fell for Muzan's trick and couldn't keep up with Miss Yuko's pace for a long time.

If it weren't for Mr. Beimingyu and Genya holding them together, they would have been finished.

It needs to be restored as soon as possible; I want to help.

Hearing the laughter of the crowd, Muzan found it grating.

He hasn't given up yet. Since he can't destroy your cells, then don't blame him!

May you all become ghosts!

Muzan's expression was somewhat ferocious.

He was unwilling to convert members of the Demon Slayer Corps, especially those with Pillar-level fighting power, into demons.

Because this means it's uncontrollable.

It would be too much to bear if a few more ghosts broke free from his restraints.

Tamayo, and the woman in front of him, have already brought him a lot of trouble.

Well, it did bring hope of overcoming the sun.

Without further hesitation, Muzan, taking advantage of the fact that the blood in everyone's bodies had not yet been completely expelled by Yuuko, manipulated them in an attempt to turn them into demons.

He didn't expect these guys to turn into ghosts; the success rate of ghost transformation isn't 100%.

Muzan only needs them to temporarily lose their fighting ability.

The transformation is not a matter of a minute or two; given the abilities of these pillars, it will take at least a day.

It took Kokushibo three whole days back then.

However, to Muzan's dismay, he felt a strong resistance as soon as his blood began to transform.

No, it's not resistance; "struggle" is a more appropriate description.

Muzan looked up at Yuko, his expression not good.

This woman's blood is wresting control from him!

This woman also possesses the ability to turn other humans into ghosts!

Muzan was driven mad with jealousy. He was the progenitor of demons, yet he had been inexplicably surpassed by a woman!

As expected, no one felt any changes within their bodies, and Muzan's plan failed.

Tanjiro and the others quickly regained their basic fighting abilities and came to stand behind Ikuko.

Everyone: "Sorry to keep you waiting."

Yu Zi didn't turn her head: "It's okay, you can continue to sleep for a while."

Everyone: "..."

Seeing this scene, Muzan suddenly had the idea of ​​retreating.

At this point, it's unrealistic to expect to eliminate the Demon Slayer Corps right under this woman's nose.

Yuko doesn't even need to cause him trouble; she just needs to ensure that no one else suffers immediate death.

By providing buffs to the team and healing everyone's injuries, they can effortlessly hold off Muzan.
