"How could humans find this place? Oh, it's the boy that Lord Kibutsuji Muzan is focusing on. How interesting!"
At that moment, the door of the room in front of the platform where Little Goku stood suddenly opened, and a muscular young man with short pink hair and his body covered in demonic markings stepped out.
He was startled at first upon seeing Little Goku, then a look of delight appeared on his face.
Kibutsuji Muzan had specifically instructed them that tonight, while slaughtering half of Tokyo Prefecture's humans, if the Demon Slayer Corps appears, they should first eliminate the boy who killed Rui.
If they defeat the boy's demon, Kibutsuji Muzan will grant more blood, making it even stronger.
Unexpectedly, even before night fell, the boy voluntarily appeared, and right before him.
"Are you Kibutsuji Muzan?"
Little Goku asked, looking at the muscular young man.
"Upper Rank Three, Akaza."
The muscular young man announced his name, then in a flash he appeared before Little Goku, extending his hand as if to behead him outright.
In his view, Rui of the Lower Moon Five was the kind of foe he could easily suppress.
And this boy who could kill a Lower Moon Five, even if strong, probably isn't that formidable.
The only thing that piques his interest is the Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps.
In fact, even the Pillars don't matter much to him; after all, many have already fallen by his hand.
Yet when he lunged forward, he found his grasp caught nothing.
"Huh!"
He turned his head and saw that Little Goku had somehow moved behind him.
"It seems you're stronger than I imagined."
His eyes lit up instantly.
After becoming a demon, he lost all memories of his past life, knowing only that he must become stronger, ever stronger, in pursuit of the ultimate martial path.
Thus, he greatly enjoys battling powerful humans.
And the speed the boy just displayed has already sparked his interest in fighting.
"Technique Unleashed!"
Centered on Akaza, a snowflake‑shaped technique manifested beneath his feet.
It's a Move he created by fusing his martial arts with Blood Demon Art; within its area, he can discern the enemy's weaknesses.
Moreover, all enemy attacks are anticipated by him in advance.
From this base technique, he can also execute various killing strikes to annihilate foes.
"So you want to duel me, wonderful!"
Seeing this, Little Goku placed his blue sweater aside and cheerfully assumed the opening stance of the Turtle School.
If someone challenges him to a duel, there's no reason for him to refuse.
At that moment, a red sweater appeared beside the blue one, followed by a surge of swordsmen.
Exactly ten seconds later, the Nine Pillars, leading elite members of the Demon Slayer Corps, arrived holding the portkey.
"What!"
Akaza immediately retreated, leaping onto a nearby room to keep a safe distance.
He enjoys battling strong opponents, but that doesn't make him foolish.
With so many swordsmen appearing and all Nine Pillars present, even his arrogance wouldn't make him think he could defeat them all alone.
"Impossible!"
Meanwhile, deep within Infinity Castle, Kibutsuji Muzan's eyes snapped open.
Sharing Akaza's eyes, he saw Little Goku and two hundred swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps entering Infinity Castle.
But this filled him with doubt and disbelief.
Because even the Twelve Kizuki couldn't enter Infinity Castle without Nakime's Blood Demon Art.
They don't even know the true location of Infinity Castle.
Infinity Castle was a city he built deep underground, spending vast time and money to evade Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
It has no entrances; entry and exit rely entirely on Nakime's Blood Demon Art.
"Could that kid have broken Nakime's Blood Demon Art?!"
For years the Demon Slayer Corps never found Infinity Castle, but now they have; his intuition tells him it must be linked to that boy with a special ability.
"Nakime, transfer the remaining Twelve Kizuki and all demons to Akaza's side; since they're here, keep them all here!"
The original purpose of slaughtering Tokyo Prefecture's humans was to lure out the Demon Slayer Corps and that boy.
Now that they're in Infinity Castle, eradicating the Demon Slayer Corps and the boy here is the same.
Of course, he himself will certainly not intervene.
If anything goes awry, he'll have Nakime immediately send him out of Infinity Castle.
Ding ding ding ding ding ding..
A series of lute sounds rang throughout Infinity Castle as the remaining five Upper Ranks, six Lower Ranks, and all demons were transferred from the room to beside Akaza.
"It's definitely because of Blood Demon Art!"
Seeing the other Twelve Kizuki and thousands of demons crowding Akaza's side, the Nine Pillars confirmed that the opponent possessed a demon capable of Spatial Blood Demon Art.
"Quick and decisive: eliminate them all first, then surround and kill Kibutsuji Muzan."
Facing so many demons and the intimidating Aura of each Twelve Kizuki, the Demon Slayer Corps' swordsmen felt no fear; instead, they erupted with unprecedented fighting spirit.
Perhaps their strength pales compared to these demons, and perhaps they will all fall here today, becoming the demons' prey.
But if they can slay these demons today, and slay Kibutsuji Muzan,
then the evil that has plagued for a thousand years will finally be eradicated by their hands.
The vengeance for their loved ones, friends, and comrades devoured by demons can finally be avenged.
Future humans will live in a World free of demons, enjoying happy lives.
"You're out of your depth!"
