Chapter 83 The Wrathful Muzan
Ding ding ding.
Nakime plucked the lute, controlling the Infinity Castle to interfere with Aoki.
However, her attack power was limited; at most, it could only cause some harassment, unable to inflict real damage on Aoki.
Kokushibo, shirtless, revealed his muscular body, the Hollow Crying God in his hand grotesque and eerie.
However,
during this day and night of battle, he was almost the most idle.
His primary duty was to protect Nakime.
Nakime's death and the collapse of the Infinity Castle were the only ways for the traitors to escape.
Before the battle, Lord Muzan specifically instructed him to protect Nakime.
The traitors, aside from trying twice at the beginning, hadn't attacked Nakime again.
He couldn't stray too far from Nakime; his attack range was limited, and without touching the traitors, he could only watch helplessly.
Even Nakime did more than him.
No other demon could replace him.
The traitors' attacks were extremely damaging to demons.
Only he could protect Nakime from the traitors.
Besides him, Akaza was no match.
Doma had a chance, but unfortunately, he had already been killed by the traitor.
Just then,
a figure suddenly appeared in the Transparent World.
Although he hadn't fought for a long time, Kokushibo's body and weapon reacted instantly.
"Seventh Form, Mirror of Calamity, Moon Reflection!"
A series of attacks covered in crescent moons tore through the air and flew toward Aoki.
At the same time, a wooden plank suddenly appeared between Aoki and Nakime.
Aoki abandoned his attack, stepped on the plank, and blocked Kokushibo's attack.
"With me here, you won't succeed!"
Kokushibo's voice was deep.
"Accept your fate, you rat, you have no chance to escape!"
Kibutsuji Muzan appeared above Aoki's head, his arms transforming into two spiked whips, the nine whips on his upper body and the eight whips on his lower body lashing out at Aoki.
The surrounding air exploded.
A sharp sonic boom resounded throughout the Infinity Castle.
"That's about enough!"
Aoki didn't even glance at him.
If this dragged on, his stamina would be depleted, and he might not be able to complete the plan.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Nearly twenty whips lashed out, like a complex and deadly net, preventing even the other Upper Moons from approaching.
Boom!
All the whips struck only air; Aoki's figure vanished into thin air.
Including Kibutsuji Muzan, none of the demons were surprised by this scene.
The battles had been in this form all day; they were used to it.
"The traitor's strength has reached this level. How did he do it? Does he eat demons?"
Akaza pondered silently.
More than that!
The traitor's increase wasn't just in strength; his skill had improved even more!
The last time they met, the traitor's fighting skills were still quite rough; in just a few months, they had become honed to perfection, almost as good as Akaza's.
"It's a pity I can't have a proper fight with him!"
Akaza felt a slight pang of regret, but quickly dismissed it.
Lord Muzan's will was the most important thing.
There's more than just the defector in the world; he only needs…
Akaza's thoughts stopped; he suddenly sensed something was wrong.
What were those expressions on Gyokko's, Hantengu's, and Muzan's faces?
Where was the defector?
Why hadn't he seen him for so long?
Whoosh!
Just then, a sharp whooshing sound rang out behind him.
Akaza realized.
So it was behind me!
"This time they're targeting me!"
Akaza didn't take it seriously.
Although the defectors mostly fled, they occasionally retaliated, primarily targeting him, Hantengu, and Gyokko.
He assumed this time would be the same.
But the next moment, Akaza finally realized the problem.
"Wait! Where's the fighting spirit? Why can't I sense the defector's fighting spirit?"
He was completely bewildered.
In battle, the compass was more important than his eyes and ears.
Suddenly losing the compass's senses, his long-established mindset and fighting habits collapsed, and for a moment, he was completely at a loss.
As Upper Moon Three, Akaza's thinking speed was extremely fast, and he quickly recovered. "If I sense it carefully, I can definitely sense the fighting spirit."
The next moment.
Bang!
Akaza's head exploded like a watermelon struck by a heavy blow, and countless wounds appeared on his body at the same time, each wound appearing at a vital joint.
In an instant, Akaza lost the ability to move.
From beginning to end, he was unable to make any reaction.
Aoki's figure appeared behind Akaza, his hand resting on Akaza's shoulder.
"I didn't expect Akaza to be so pathetic. Once this is over, I'll demote him to Upper Moon Six!"
Kibutsuji Muzan was extremely dissatisfied.
Even Gyokko, Upper Moon Five, hadn't performed so poorly against the traitor.
This was a huge disgrace to him!
Akaza had been too decadent lately; he should go to Upper Moon Six and reflect on his actions!
Thinking this, Kibutsuji Muzan suddenly noticed the traitor saying something to him. He couldn't hear the voice, but judging from the lip movements, it seemed to be… goodbye?
What did that mean?
Just then, Aoki and Akaza vanished simultaneously.
"Where did they go again?"
Kibutsuji Muzan's sharp gaze swept back and forth, searching for the traitor, but to his surprise, he couldn't find any trace of him.
It seemed they'd gone very far this time.
He had to find them quickly!
If he delayed any longer, the traitor might devour Akaza!
Let this battle drag on.
Kibutsuji Muzan looked at Nakime, but before he could speak, Nakime's bewildered voice rang in his ears.
"Lord Muzan, the traitor is no longer in the Infinity Castle!"
Boom!
An extremely violent aura erupted from Kibutsuji Muzan; even the air seemed to become heavy.
Hantengu's true form trembled in fear, Gyokko swayed, his face full of astonishment, and Kokushibo remained silent, his expression slightly grim.
"Nakime, what do you mean by saying the traitor is no longer in the Infinity Castle?" Kibutsuji Muzan's voice was filled with a tyranny and rage that made everyone's hearts tremble.
Nakime trembled slightly, but could only truthfully say, "The traitor, he... escaped and took Akaza with him!"
Boom!
A powerful shockwave tore everything around them apart.
Kibutsuji Muzan grabbed Nakime by the neck and slowly lifted her up. "One day! We chased the traitor for a whole day, cornering him multiple times, and now you're telling me he escaped?"
Nakime trembled. "The traitor could have left the Infinity Castle from the beginning; he was just..."
Thud!
Nakime's head was ripped off, her body carelessly tossed aside.
"Find! Keep searching! You must find the traitor!" Kibutsuji Muzan's voice was like a suppressed storm.
Nakime picked up her head, reattached it to her neck, and respectfully replied, "Yes, Lord Muzan!"
Kokushibo, Gyokko, and Hantengu's expressions were also extremely grim.
All the Upper Moons had mobilized; even Lord Muzan himself had personally attacked relentlessly for over a day, and now they were being told the traitor had been toying with them all along?
He wasn't trapped at all; he could have left at any time. The only reason he stayed was for Akaza.
And in the end, he actually succeeded.
This was practically a slap in the face!
After the Upper Moon demons and Kibutsuji Muzan left, Nakime returned to her position.
"Find the traitor!"
She didn't know what to do after finding him.
Find him first, then worry about the rest.
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared, and Nakime's gaze froze.
