At this moment, the leaves rustled, and a Demon leaped down from a tree, pouncing at Nathan.
His expression was ferocious, a sinister grin on his face: “Bringing an ordinary sword into Mount Fujikasane, you really don’t know what you’re getting into.
Let me, your big brother, teach you just how terrifying this place can be!” His eyes didn’t even register Shinobu…
to him, a girl of such small stature wasn’t even worth guarding against.
But in the next moment, a flash of sword light, and the Demon’s body was split apart.
His limbs were severed by Nathan, blood spraying out.
A magical light surged from Nathan’s body, blocking the blood.
Shinobu’s eyes sparkled: “Such a fast sword!
Is it Thunder Breathing?
It feels a little different.” “Although I’ve already read the Breathing Techniques, I’m not talented enough to learn them directly just yet.” Nathan’s limbs were glowing.
“I’m just using Reinforcement Magecraft to enhance my physical abilities.” The Demon was still writhing on the ground, and several flashes of cold light appeared.
Nathan projected four daggers, pinning the Demon’s severed limbs to the ground.
Then, with the sword in his hand, he pierced the Demon’s bare torso, pinning him to the ground.
“It’s useless!” The Demon’s face was twisted.
“Without a Nichirin Blade, you can’t kill me!” He sneered: “Go ahead and try if you dare.
You can never kill me, and as long as I succeed once, you’re dead!” “Annoying!” Nathan frowned, projected another dagger, and stabbed it into the Demon’s mouth, piercing his head.
That finally shut him up.
“First, let’s check your magical energy reserves, and while I’m at it, replenish my own.” Nathan plunged his hand into the Demon’s body, beginning to drain his life force and convert it into magical energy.
But contrary to Nathan’s expectations, the Demon’s life force wasn’t as abundant as he had imagined.
After draining about fifty people’s worth of life force, the Demon’s body began to wither.
Soon, he turned into a dried-up corpse.
“This is too useless, isn’t it?
I thought I could use him as an infinite battery.” Nathan sighed.
But thinking about it, Demons do need to eat humans.
Nezuko, who refused to eat humans, slept for two whole years, and her recovery speed was much worse than other Demons.
It seems Demons can’t be used as perpetual motion machines.
At most, he could check if Kibutsuji Muzan might work.
That fake Michael Jackson was probably the only Demon with any hope of serving as an infinite magical energy battery.
But now wasn’t the time to think about that.
Nathan heard breathing of varying lengths.
It was the other Demons on this mountain.
They were surrounded by Demons.
Shinobu drew her Nichirin Blade and stood ready.
But she knew that with Nathan here, her safety was guaranteed.
If nothing else, he could just dispel the clouds, or, as he had demonstrated before, create sunlight with his hands, and all these Demons would be reduced to ashes.
“I’ve lost interest in these common types.” Nathan picked up the sword and ran his finger along the blade.
In the next moment, a brilliant light appeared on the edge, a golden color covering the entire blade.
That was sunlight.
Miserable wails rang out.
Although the light on the sword was very faint, the mere sight of Nathan’s blade burned the eyes of the Demons hiding in the shadows, ready to attack, turning them into two black holes.
A crack opened in the clouds above, and sunlight was drawn to Nathan’s blade.
With a single swing of his sword, the brilliant sunlight condensed into the shape of a sword, which he then unleashed.
The sunlight passed through Shinobu and Kanae as well, but they were unharmed.
The ones who suffered were the Demons.
“Why!
Why is the sun here!
Isn’t it cloudy?” “My body is burning!
I’m going to die!” “It’s his sword!
His sword has the sun on it!
Damn it, why is this happening!” Miserable wails echoed through the forest, sending chills down one’s spine.
This pain even traveled through the Demon’s blood in their bodies, reaching far away.
In a distant town, inside a house, Kibutsuji Muzan suddenly awoke.
‘What happened?’ A flicker of fear passed through his crimson eyes.
Just moments ago, an intense, searing pain had traveled through the Demon’s blood from afar, as piercing as sunlight.
Muzan could use Demon’s blood to view the memories of Demons at the moment of their death.
But after only watching two Demons, he immediately stopped, drenched in cold sweat.
“Why were so many Demons killed by sunlight?
Are they all brain-dead?” Muzan was both shocked and terrified, because he felt that the sunlight he saw through those memories was a bit strange.
It looked a bit like…
‘Sword light?’ “That’s impossible!
No matter how exquisite the swordsmanship, it can’t directly use sunlight.
Even the creator of Sun Breathing, Tsugikuni Yoriichi, couldn’t do that!” Muzan paced back and forth in the room.
He was unwilling to believe it, but he was also worried that such a person might actually exist and find him, killing him.
“Then there’s only one way.” Muzan’s expression became calm again.
“Order the Upper Moons to go to that place and completely destroy it!” If there really was someone that terrifying, the Upper Moons would surely die.
As long as the Upper Moons died, he would immediately run away!
