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

Yuko waved her hand dismissively.

Yuzui Tengen walked away with a solemn expression.

No wonder, no wonder the woman's movements slowed down and her desire to attack wasn't very strong.

He thought that Muzan wanted to conserve more energy to deal with the struggle before dawn.

It now appears that several hours of intense exertion have completely exhausted her physical strength.

It's important to understand that she not only held off Muzan, but also used her own blood to heal their injuries; the effort involved in this process is unimaginable.

As is widely known, ghosts lose their reason when they are hungry and want to eat.

Even a demon that has overcome sunlight cannot

His joke just now was more than just a joke.

Now we can only hope that she can recover on her own.

……

I'm so hungry, it's not just a matter of my stomach hurting anymore.

I was so hungry that my stomach started to hurt more than an hour ago.

It's just that I'm so hungry my stomach hurts, that's nothing at all.

She's so hungry she's about to lose her mind.

Looking at the arena, Muzan, who, despite being surrounded by people, still acted like a war god, wielding the long whip on his body to force them back.

Yuko had no choice but to admit it.

Tamayo is right.

She really didn't last as long as Muzan.

Yuko took deep breaths, hoping to calm her increasingly agitated heart.

She remembered a famous person saying that "an empty stomach is a great enemy".

Looking at it now, it really is true.

The pungent smell of blood wafting through the air stimulated her brain, like countless chicken legs floating in front of her, tempting her.

This was the first time she had ever been this hungry. Even when she was starving before, she had never felt so hungry that her mind went blank.

I just want to lie down and sleep, and once I'm asleep, I won't feel hungry anymore.

Unfortunately, I can't sleep.

Fortunately, Muzan's stamina has been greatly reduced, and because of Tamayo's poison, he is currently unable to break free from the attacks of others.

At this rate, all she needs to do is watch out for Muzan's final resistance.

As long as you don't engage in overly strenuous exercise, and just provide some support, there shouldn't be any problems.

While Yuko was figuring out how to deal with hunger, the battle on the other side was gradually reaching a fever pitch.

"Wind Breathing - Eighth Form - First Fierce Wind Slash!" Shinazugawa Sanemi unleashed a circular slash around his body, repelling the approaching tentacles while retreating without a second thought.

next moment.

"Snow Breathing - Eighth Form - Mukan Snow!" A snowy color rapidly magnified in Muzan's eyes.

The coordination between the pillars effectively compensated for their disadvantage in attack intervals.

Muzan was forced to retreat repeatedly by the crowd.

Something's not right. That woman hasn't even made a move yet. How could he be forced into this situation by this group of humans, unable to even deal with one person?

Has this group of humans become faster?

No, it's not.

Even with that woman's support, the healing of injuries wouldn't affect the consumption of physical strength after the battle had progressed to this point.

There is no doubt that their combat effectiveness has declined.

He has slowed down.

Otherwise, it would have been absolutely impossible for them to have been forced to this extent by these humans.

The battle prowess of the striped pillars was not as strong as he had imagined; these striped pillars were worlds apart from that monster.

The physical exertion is somewhat abnormal...

Those medicines!

Did he not break it down completely?

Muzan realized his own problem.

At that time, the woman's harassment prevented him from continuing his investigation, but the effects on his body should have already disappeared.

Muzan quickly examined his own body.

Tamayo's poison was hidden even deeper than she had imagined, but fortunately... at that time, he absorbed it along with the woman's fist.

He can also read memories within cells.

Soon, Muzan saw what he wanted to know from Tamayo's remaining cells.

……

An anti-aging drug that can age him by fifty years in just one minute.

It turned out to be the case.

His strength was weakened by preventing the aging process, which is why he found it increasingly difficult to face others.

Was he drugged by Tamayo a few hours earlier?

Four hours? Five hours?

Even if we exclude the time before the drug takes effect, the effects should have lasted for at least three hours.

That is to say...

He's aged nine thousand years!

He should have realized sooner that his hair color couldn't be changed back!

"Sun Breathing, Third Form: Crimson Mirror of the Blazing Sun!" Tanjiro's attack, imbued with flames that made people want to retreat, posed a great threat to Muzan.

This little devil, I can see his body clearly.

I want to be like that monster, severing the vital organs hidden inside his body.

Muzan desperately dodged the attacks from the crowd.

Moreover, it wasn't his imagination; other humans were intentionally slashing at the locations of his organs.

Unlike that brat, it wasn't the ability to see clearly, but rather that his information was leaked.

That woman!

No... something's not right...

The thought of Yuko suddenly made Muzan aware of a fleeting sense of unease.

If aging is hindering his fighting ability, then why couldn't he distinguish the superiority or inferiority in his fight with that woman?

Was it that woman deliberately maintaining this state, not wanting him to realize so quickly that she was becoming weaker?

No.

As if parting the clouds to reveal the clear sky, Muzan suddenly looked past the crowd and at the woman who had somehow retreated to the edge of the battlefield.

Muzan's eyes narrowed slightly, and his originally serious expression gradually revealed his flamboyant nature.

That state...

That posture...

That expression...

Without a doubt, it's an attitude of craving blood!

Muzan finally understood why this woman was so strange.

Why can we maintain a tie with him even when his abilities decline?

Why not join these humans in suppressing him?

It's a drain on your physical strength!

A demon that has never eaten human flesh is like a human who never gets enough to eat; it is absolutely impossible to fight on an empty stomach.

There is always a way out.

Even if there really are gods and Buddhas in this world, they must be on his side!

Muzan suddenly revealed an arrogant expression, which startled everyone and made them afraid to step forward.

what happened?

Is this guy laughing?

Everyone felt a chill.

Uzui Tengen instinctively sensed something was wrong. Following Muzan's gaze, he turned around, his pupils contracted sharply, and he immediately understood everything.

"Stop him! This guy's target is...!"

The moment he spoke, Muzan swept in like a whirlwind, charging straight toward the crowd.

This collision, which should have been avoided, was instead blocked by Yuzui Tengen using his own body.

In their astonishment, without time to think, and trusting their comrades, everyone chose to fight Muzan head-on.
