“It’s over.” Nathan closed his eyes and sensed Mount Fujikasane.
“Among the Upper Moons, there’s still Nakime who hasn’t come.
She probably won’t be coming.
But no need to look for her.
After Kibutsuji Muzan dies, she won’t survive either.” Nathan looked at the stars in the sky.
The ever-changing constellations became clear, pointing him to Muzan Kibutsuji’s location.
The battle at the foot of Mount Fujikasane was also coming to an end.
Shinobu was the first to arrive, her clothes stained with blood, but there’s a radiant smile on her face.
Not the polite, formal smile from before, but one of genuine joy.
Kanae hid behind Nathan, tugging at his clothes: “Shinobu is so scary.” Nathan patted her head: “Don’t worry.
You’ll see even scarier things in the future.” “That’s not comforting at all!” Kanae pounded Nathan’s shoulder with her fists.
Shinobu looked at her sister with a hint of resignation.
She felt that Kanae was becoming more and more like a child.
‘Could becoming a ghost affect one’s mental state?’ At that moment, the Hashiras also returned to Mount Fujikasane.
Nathan said: “I’ve found Kibutsuji Muzan’s location.
Now, let’s go eliminate him.” “Really?” “This day has finally come!” “Great!
Kibutsuji Muzan’s doom is at hand!” They all had great confidence in Nathan.
No matter how powerful the Demon, under the sunlight, they would all turn to ash!
“Let’s go.
We need to get there ahead of time.” Nathan said.
“By nightfall, Kibutsuji Muzan might have moved again.
Besides, I need to make some preparations in advance.” Muzan had the most potential to become a perpetual magical energy battery.
Nathan wanted to trap him in one place, unable to move.
He wanted to extract as much magical energy from Muzan as possible.
And if possible, it would be even better to erase his soul.
Then, he could take this guy back to the Nasuverse as a magical energy battery.
“But before that, I need to wrap things up here.” Nathan waved his hand.
The magical barrier that had covered the entire Mount Fujikasane began to shrink and fell into his hand.
This was a portable magical barrier developed by Nathan.
Although it wasn’t as complete as a painstakingly crafted magical workshop, it was very convenient and could be strengthened.
Nathan had also developed quite a few plugins that could be combined into a more complete magical workshop.
The altar that held Hantengu and Gyokko also began to shrink rapidly.
It increased the efficiency of extracting magical energy by hundreds of times in an overload state, at the cost of the altar’s destruction.
Under Nathan’s urging, Hantengu and Gyokko were drained dry as well.
The magical energy they provided was enough for tens of thousands of people.
Just from the magical energy extracted this time, Nathan could supply the Servant he would summon later, allowing her to use her Noble Phantasm freely.
Nathan put away the gemstones, very satisfied: “Alright, we can move out.” Nathan directly lifted them into the sky, negating the Earth’s gravity, and flew rapidly through the sky.
There was no need to worry about magical energy…
the gemstones in his hand were overflowing with it, allowing him to spend it freely.
In just half an hour, Nathan arrived at his destination, a hill about a hundred meters high.
The Demon Slayer Corps’ Hashiras all fell to their knees, their faces pale.
They wanted to vomit, but their strong physiques wouldn’t let them, which only made it more uncomfortable.
Even Shinobu, who had been strengthened, couldn’t quite handle Nathan’s speed.
Only Kanae, who as a ghost felt no dizziness, and Nezuko, as a Demon, seemed fine.
“Mhm~~” Nezuko was also a little dizzy, but she didn’t feel uncomfortable.
“It’s right there.” Nathan pointed at the mountain in front of him, throwing his magical barrier over it, merging it into the entire mountain.
At this moment, Muzan was lurking inside the mountain.
Not only had he found a cave to hide in, but he had also dug a hole in the most remote corner of the cave and buried himself in it!
He dared not leave Japan, because Japan was surrounded by sea, and he was afraid of encountering even more terrifying monsters in the ocean.
So he just found a random, remote cave to hide in.
‘I don’t even know where I’m hiding.
That guy definitely can’t find me.’ Muzan was filled with relief.
‘That’s it.
I’ll wait here for a hundred years, wait until that guy dies of old age, and then come out!’ This was what he had done before, hiding to wait out Yoriichi.
‘My lifespan is infinite.
There’s no point getting angry with mortals.’ Comforting himself with this thought, Muzan quietly fell into a deep slumber.
He was completely unaware that this mountain had become different.
“He’s actually sleeping.” Nathan’s hand lightly tapped the stone, continuously adding various magical indicators to enhance the barrier’s power.
At the same time, he took out a smaller barrier.
This was the specialty of a barrier master, Araya Souren—the Threefold Barrier.
Composed of Fugu, Kongou, Dakatsu, Taiten, Chougyou, and Chougyou, it formed three static barriers.
Combined with Araya Souren’s own Origin of [Stillness], it was enough to keep him ageless and immortal, and to keep those who came into contact with the barrier in a state of stillness.
Nathan didn’t have the Origin of [Stillness], so he couldn’t reach that level, but it was still useful.
Moreover, this time, he abandoned the other five concepts and focused solely on [Kongou].
He took half of the magical energy extracted from the two Upper Moons and integrated it into the barrier.
In the next moment, the massive magical energy activated, making the entire mountain indestructible.
This way, Muzan couldn’t escape from this mountain, and Nathan wouldn’t have to worry about confronting him and being forced to kill him.
“Next is to place the vengeful spirits and try to destroy Kibutsuji Muzan’s soul.” Nathan began using the means of the Department of Evocation to summon wandering ghosts.
Kanae shuddered.
Though others couldn’t see it, she saw many souls being summoned by Nathan, gathering around the small hill.
She couldn’t help but shiver, because some of the spirits looked truly terrifying, bloody and with missing limbs.
Nathan slightly strengthened these souls with magical energy and cast them into the barrier.
After everything was prepared, dawn was about to break.
He projected a box to put Nezuko inside.
Then— The barrier activated!
