Chapter 266 - Chapter 266 Wait and See

"Hey! Inosuke! Wait for me!" Zenitsu shouted at Inosuke, who was excitedly running ahead.

"Boar Rush! Boar Rush!" Inosuke's loud shouts attracted many demons, and his two nichirin blades ruthlessly tore through the demons' bodies.

"Where in the world is this place?!" Zenitsu covered his head in terror, his face pale. He had just finished a mission and was on his way back to the Butterfly Mansion when he inexplicably fell into this place.

He nearly splattered into a meat paste!

And!

Zenitsu painfully covered his ears. The roars of demons were everywhere, along with the painful wails of other Demon Slayer Corps members. Even with his ears covered, he couldn't completely block them out.

These sounds constantly stimulated Zenitsu's nerves.

And every now and then, a few demons would pop out from every nook and cranny!

What do they want?!

He wasn't as afraid of demons anymore, but so many bizarre things popping out would still scare him!

He had finally run into Inosuke, but that guy, without a care in the world, excitedly went off to hunt and kill demons.

Zenitsu followed behind Inosuke with a bitter expression, looking utterly dejected.

Inside, he cried out helplessly.

Tanjirou! Big Brother Yoizumi!

Where are you?!

Save me!

Inosuke suddenly stopped in front, and Zenitsu also stopped abruptly, looking at Inosuke with a puzzled expression.

"What's wrong?"

Inosuke stared intently in one direction, his boar head mask exhaling heavily. His rough voice sounded a little low.

"There's a disgusting feeling."

"My skin keeps getting a sickening sensation."

"I'm getting goosebumps!"

Hearing this, Zenitsu also carefully tried to identify the direction Inosuke was talking about. Amidst the chaotic growls of demons, there was a mix of zither strings, identical to the sound he heard when he first fell here.

And… ah! It's Miss Kanroji's voice!

Is she fighting someone?

That gloomy guy is also nearby… "Let's go! Monichi!"

Inosuke swung his nichirin blade through the air, chuckled, and said impatiently.

"Eh? Where… where to?" Zenitsu stammered slightly.

"Where else? Of course, we're going to see!" Inosuke said, as if it were obvious, with his hands on his hips.

Several black lines appeared on Zenitsu's face. Are you kidding me?

We're still going over there?!

"There are already two Pillars over there, do they still need us?"

Inosuke wiggled his finger, exuding an aura that said, 'You wouldn't understand.'

"Precisely because of that, we must go!"

"Anyone who can fight a Pillar must be strong!"

"It's even more worth the challenge!"

After saying that, Inosuke ran towards that direction without a care, not waiting for Zenitsu's reply.

"Eh?! You… wait for me!" Zenitsu shouted, watching Inosuke disappear in a flash… "Thud!" Kanroji Mitsuri grunted as her body slammed against the wall. Seeing that she was about to hit the ceiling and be splattered, she quickly shattered the wooden wall behind her and landed on the ground.

No sooner had her feet found solid ground than, with a "clang," the floor beneath her suddenly vanished, sending Mitsuri flying dozens of meters away.

"Kanroji!" Iguro Obanai shouted upon seeing this, but a wooden board suddenly sprang up beneath his feet as well, sending him flying.

Damn it… This demon's attack power isn't great, but its restraint ability is too strong.

We can't keep this up!

News of comrades defeating Upper Moons kept reaching his ears, but he hadn't been able to make any useful contribution.

Iguro Obanai's face darkened, and the Mark, winding like a snake, emerged on his arm beneath his clothes.

Beneath the bandages, the hideous scar at the corner of his mouth moved with his tightly pressed lips.

He must kill Muzan to atone for the sin of this blood… to redeem himself.

Then… then, perhaps he could… "Ah!" Falling at high speed, Kanroji Mitsuri grabbed onto a building and landed safely, looking up, still shaken.

Mitsuri swallowed and immediately returned the way she came. On the way, she met Yushiro.

The moment Mitsuri saw Yushiro, she adopted a combat stance, but the next second, his address made Mitsuri bristle.

"Hey! You exposed woman over there!" Yushiro shouted unceremoniously.

Ex… exposed woman?!

Mitsuri's face flushed crimson, and she puffed out her cheeks in anger. What a mean-spirited demon! To call her that.

"Later, all you need to do is help me hold back that female demon; I'll handle the rest."

Hearing this, Mitsuri paused, then realized that the demon in front of her was Yushiro, who had come to assist the Demon Slayer Corps.

"Do you understand?!" Yushiro pointed at the seemingly not-so-bright woman in front of him and raised his voice.

Mitsuri blinked and nodded instinctively.

Yushiro placed a charm on himself. With Upper Moon Four being held back, Muzan couldn't quickly find Yoizumi, but encountering him was only a matter of time. There were roughly two hours left until dawn.

What he had to do was to force the Infinity Castle to the surface, bringing Muzan back to the ground!

… "Kokushibou!!!"

Useless! All of them are useless!

Kibutsuji Muzan roared. The being he thought could be useful had given up just like that!

Muzan's face was contorted in a grimace, his magenta pupils filled with anger, and his whites of his eyes were covered in numerous red blood vessels.

His thorny whips mercilessly cut down any Demon Slayer Corps members that appeared in his sight, reducing them to shreds. The Kasugai Crows flying rapidly through the air were not spared either.

A whip pierced through a Kasugai Crow's body, bringing it before him. The Kasugai Crow, constantly dripping blood, its dark eyes reflected Kibutsuji Muzan's current hideous face.

"Ubuyashiki!"

"Do you think this can defeat me?"

"You will forever be deluded!"

"I will personally, one by one!"

"Deal with your beloved Pillars!"

"I will make you witness their deaths!"

"Ubuyashiki! You just wait for me!"

With each word Kibutsuji Muzan spoke, his expression became more ferocious, and his voice clearly reached Kagaya Ubuyashiki's ears.

Kagaya's expression did not change in the slightest due to Muzan's words. Instead, he remained calm, his gentle voice unwavering.

"Is that so? Muzan."

"I await it."

"Will I witness your death, or will you witness mine?"

The Kasugai Crow in Muzan's hand finally died. Kagaya closed his eyes.

"Well done…"

"My… children."

"I will not let your sacrifices be in vain."
