Is this the Sun?
Is this that man’s Crimson Red nichirin blade?
What exactly is the relationship between this man…
and Yoriichi Tsugikuni?!
No!
In Kibutsuji Muzan’s eyes, this power was even purer and more overwhelming than Yoriichi Tsugikuni’s!
This was the Sun itself, capable of instantly vaporizing all five of his brains and seven hearts!!!
“Nakime!!!”
Muzan let out the most terrifying and panicked roar he had uttered in a thousand years; the instinct for survival overwhelmed everything else!
He no longer cared about the dignity of the Progenitor or the greed for power.
Faced with absolute death, he only wanted to escape!
Now!
Immediately!
However, faced with the terror branded deep into his soul, his reaction was ultimately a beat too slow.
Just as the Japanese shoji door beneath his feet, the entrance to the Infinite City, was about to fully open.
That “Sun” arrived.
A streak of orange-red light, piercing heaven and earth, arrived in an instant, striking Muzan!
Boom!!!!!!!
A terrifying explosion, beyond description, occurred!
A searing pillar of light shot into the sky, dispelling all darkness and clouds within a ten-mile radius!
At the center of the explosion, the earth was forcibly melted into a gigantic, bottomless glass crater!
The violent shockwave churned up mounds of snow, leveling swathes of the surrounding forest.
The shoji door that had just opened was instantly carbonized upon contact with the flame, nearly collapsing!
“Aaaahhhhh!!!”
A scream so horrifying it sounded inhuman squeezed halfway out of the door crack.
Kibutsuji Muzan’s upper body, along with the shoji door, was utterly and unequivocally evaporated and annihilated by the sun-like high temperature!
Only his lower half, scorched black and sizzling, fell miserably into the Infinite City.
The wound was covered in a layer of golden, sun-like flames that were difficult to extinguish, frantically suppressing his regeneration!
Is he dead? Enjoying the story? Read on at novelping.com.
No, not yet.
But this strike was absolutely the most devastating and closest near-death injury he had ever suffered in his life!
Inside the Infinite City, Muzan’s half-severed torso squirmed frantically on the ground, his charred flesh regenerating at a visible yet slow pace.
The lingering fear in his plum-red vertical pupils had not yet faded, replaced instead by a more pathological greed and malice!
“This…
this power…
it can actually inflict such immense damage on me…”
“But…
if I just have time, I can recover!”
Muzan’s brain was working frantically.
He was struggling in fear, cowardly afraid of death, yet possessing an extreme obsession with eternal life.
The power of Satoru and his companions undoubtedly opened the door to a new world for him.
He had never witnessed this kind of power before.
This was an opportunity, an opportunity to gain powerful strength!
If he could capture him and research him inside the Infinite City!
Then he might be able to master this power!
Moreover!
He clearly realized one thing!
Although this power was terrifying, it was not unsolvable!
As long as he could dodge the flames, there would be no problem!
Furthermore, he saw through him!
He saw through that man’s most fatal weakness!
“He is protecting those ants…
To protect those unarmed mortals, he even sent out his companions!”
If I use his companions to pin him down…
perhaps I can make him willingly walk into my Infinite City!
At the same time!
Muzan keenly sensed that the terrifying aura outside, which had made him tremble.
After unleashing that supreme strike, it receded like a tide, becoming unstable and far less consistently powerful than before!
The current Muzan was just somewhat weakened!
In just a moment, he would be fully restored!
He was convinced that Satoru’s power absolutely could not be used continuously!
Satoru’s current state was definitely poor!
He sensed that Satoru was escaping!
An opportunity!
This was absolutely a once-in-a-lifetime chance!
The risk was enormous, but the reward…
would be the entire world!!
If he obtained this power, he might become a truly perfect creature, unafraid of sunlight!
“Hear my command…”
“My strongest Upper Rank Demons…”
“Seize that power for me, along with everything he protects!!!”
“I want him alive!!!”
“I must obtain your secret!”
Having said that, Muzan severed one of his own thighs and stored it deep within the Infinite City!
Inside the thigh, a heart and a brain were violently trembling!
This was a backup Muzan had created by fusing with the ability of the Upper Rank Hantengu’s clone.
Greed had once again completely triumphed over fear!
…The moment the arrow left the bowstring.
Satoru gently gasped for breath, turned, and ran without any hesitation.
He stomped his foot abruptly, and the scorched earth instantly cracked open.
His entire being transformed into a black lightning bolt, rushing violently toward Itadori Yuji / Yuji Itadori and the others!
Behind Satoru.
The streak of orange-red light had already brought about a doomsday-like scene.
The sky was burning crimson, and the sharp cries of crows rang out, all foretelling the brutality of the situation.
Maybe it’s not a big deal now… maybe it will be later.
