Chapter 18 - The Outsiders

With Nakime's death, the Infinity Castle gradually began to collapse.

Everyone who had been scattered by Nakime was teleported back to the ground.

"Hmm? Nakime is already dead?"

Seeing the Infinity Castle crumble, Kokushibo was somewhat surprised.

He hadn't expected the enemy to crack the secret of the Infinity Castle right at the beginning. Was there a leak, or was it that...

Thinking of the few people who had appeared earlier, Kokushibo also began to get serious.

If someone who knew everything and could grant others strange abilities had really appeared, then they would be a huge threat.

With these thoughts, Kokushibo began to sense for the remaining Upper Moons.

He wouldn't have known if he hadn't checked, but Daki and Gyutaro were already dead!

'And near him is... the strongest one among these people?'

Discovering that an Upper Moon had already been killed, Kokushibo hurried in Doma's direction. He already felt that things were getting out of hand.

'When did this happen? Why would Nakime teleport the strongest of these Hashira to the weakest of the Upper Moons?'

This was what Kokushibo couldn't understand. Could it be that the Demon Slayer Corps had obtained some kind of strange treasure?

And just as Kokushibo was rushing towards Doma, Shinobu Kocho had already caught the foul scent emanating from Doma.

Taking out another Ender Pearl, she threw it towards the place where the smell was thickest.

Flames of vengeance, along with a glint of excitement, burned in Shinobu's eyes.

"You're next!"

The next second, Shinobu's figure vanished from the spot.

....

"Amitabha."

The Stone Hashira, Gyomei Himejima, stared with his milky white eyes at the man and woman before him whose heads had been smashed in, and uttered a prayer as tears streamed down his face.

Then, he walked towards a place to his left front where flames were erupting. There... was the Flame Hashira and a great malice.

The tide of the battle was quickly being controlled. The Flame Hashira, Kyojuro Rengoku, was fighting Akaza, with the Stone Hashira, Gyomei Himejima, rushing towards their battle;

Hantengu was fighting the Wind Hashira, Sanemi Shinazugawa;

Gyokko was fighting the Mist Hashira, Muichiro Tokito, and the Serpent Hashira, Obanai Iguro;

Doma and all the remaining Lower Moons were fighting the Water Hashira, Giyuu Tomioka, and the Sound Hashira, Tengen Uzui, with the Insect Hashira, Shinobu Kocho, and Kokushibo rushing towards them;

The Love Hashira, Mitsuri Kanroji, was besieged by thousands of demons;

And even more demons were being killed by the members of the Demon Slayer Corps who were arriving one after another.

As for Hellish Blizzard, she was staying in the sky, surveying the whole situation to prevent any unnecessary accidents.

Just as a great battle was unfolding on both sides, in an unknown space, four people were watching this 'grand show.'

A red-haired youth of about 27 or 28, standing on the far left, watched this scene and asked with confusion, "Captain, what's going on? Why would Shinobu Kocho know that Nakime is the controller of the Infinity Castle? Why is her strength completely different from the original story?"

A long-haired woman with a rose tattoo on her face, standing on the right, also asked with confusion, "That's right! And I just sensed an extremely powerful force suddenly move far away from here, it seemed to be heading in... Muzan Kibutsuji's direction!"

A youth of 17 or 18, standing on the far right, said nothing. He was just a newcomer and was not yet qualified to participate in their chat.

The middle-aged man of about forty, who was surrounded by the three, said nothing. He had, of course, discovered that there was a problem with this world, which was why he had immediately activated this pocket dimension that isolated their presence.

But he could only maintain it for about half an hour. The person with the incredibly powerful aura just now was definitely no simple character! He didn't even seem to be from this world!

At this thought, the middle-aged man's heart tightened. 'There's a transmigrator in this world! And a very powerful one at that!'

Seeing the middle-aged man's body suddenly tense up, the remaining three exchanged glances, also understanding that there was a problem with this instance!

At this thought, the three looked at the middle-aged man with a mixture of confusion and fear in their eyes.

"How about... we just give up on this mission? There's no need to risk our lives for it, right?" the red-haired youth said in a terrified tone.

The long-haired woman and the 17-year-old youth said nothing, but their eyes showed that they also agreed with the red-haired youth.

The middle-aged man said nothing. He was contemplating. After all, if the mission failed, all his abilities would be gone. All his years of hard work would be for nothing. But if he stayed, it was highly likely he would have to face that unknown expert.

While the middle-aged man was thinking, he failed to notice that the great battle below was already about to end. All the demons suddenly turned to ash and disappeared.

......

Looking at the obsidian prison, which was now completely filled with lava, Lin Tian nodded with satisfaction.

Hearing the wails from inside fall silent, Lin Tian first poured a bucket of water on top, then used chain mining to break the entire obsidian structure.

As expected, there was nothing left inside.

Seeing Muzan Kibutsuji dead, Lin Tian was a little puzzled. "The boss is dead, so why haven't the outsiders shown themselves yet?"

[Lord of the World: Has anyone seen the outsiders? Why haven't we seen them at all?]

[Shinobu Who Loves Her Sister: Is Muzan Kibutsuji already dead? @Lord of the World]

[Hellish Blizzard: I haven't seen anyone in strange clothes either.]

[Lord of the World: Muzan Kibutsuji is indeed dead. I burned him to death with a bucket of lava.]

[Silly Girl: Lava is still too OP.]

[Lord of the World: Chat Group, can you tell me the location of the outsiders?]

[Detecting group member "Lord of the World's" request. The group task will now activate detection mode.]

[Note: Activating detection mode will deduct 10% of the reward points. Do you wish to confirm activation (Yes/No)]

[Lord of the World: Let's activate it. We have to find the mastermind.]

[Lord of the World: Yes.]

[Shinobu Who Loves Her Sister: Yes.]

[Hellish Blizzard: Yes.]

[All 3 participating members have agreed. Detection mode has been activated!]

Then, the location of the outsiders appeared in the minds of the three.

"So they were in a different dimension!"

Seeing the four outsiders wrapped in a pocket of space, Lin Tian also understood why no one had seen them.

Anyone else might have been helpless, but he was different. With his strength, it was possible for him to tear open this world's space for a little while.

"Tanjiro, Nezuko, you two follow this former Water Hashira to the Ubuyashiki Estate later. I have something to do, so I'm leaving first."

Lin Tian pointed at Sakonji Urokodaki and, after speaking to the two siblings, vanished from the spot.

Seeing Lin Tian disappear, Tanjiro also looked at his master.

"Let's go. I'll take you there. The situation in this world is about to change," Sakonji Urokodaki said, then led the way towards the Ubuyashiki Estate.

Seeing Urokodaki leave, Tanjiro was about to carry Nezuko and follow, but Nezuko ran out ahead of him.

Seeing Nezuko run ahead, Tanjiro was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and followed.

'It seems my sister has a crush on him~'
