Infinity Castle!
A flash of magic circle light appeared.
The figures of Ayato and the others appeared.
Erina, Yukino, and Hisako all caught their breath.
The Devils' keen senses prevented them from being deceived by the Infinity Castle's gorgeous scenery.
There seemed to be countless gazes and malice from all directions.
They had previously been ordinary people.
So in an instant, they felt intense discomfort.
Besides that,
The others looked normal.
After all, those malicious intents meant nothing to them.
Even Mitsuri had experienced battle before and completed her transformation.
"How is it? Any problems?"
Ayato gave each of them a head pat and said warmly, "No need to be nervous. No matter what happens, I am behind you."
"Okay, Master."
"Master, I've been training during this time too."
"King, leave it to us."
Erina and the other two women nodded repeatedly.
Although they were a bit nervous inside, now they had to go.
No matter what, they couldn't disappoint Master.
"Good!"
Ayato asked, "Is the mark you left on Muzan still there?"
"Yes."
Gabriel pointed and said, "It's in that direction."
"Good, then let's go."
With the order, Ayato walked in front, beginning to penetrate deeper into the Infinity Castle.
Soon.
The Demons that had long since noticed Ayato and the others began to gather.
For a moment,
Countless crimson gazes swept over them.
"These... are the Demons of this world?"
Yukino was fine, having at least seen Cursed Spirits before.
Erina and Hisako, however, shuddered, feeling a chill.
"These Demons are way too ugly, aren't they?"
Before they could react, countless Demons from all directions shot toward them like cannonballs.
"Erina-sama."
"Let's go. We can't hesitate."
Erina and Hisako looked at each other, their eyes instantly becoming determined.
Although it was their first time facing a fight,
They were very nervous.
But their master was right behind them. There was no reason to be afraid.
Not to mention,
There was another newcomer beside them. No matter what, they couldn't be outdone.
Weren't they just Demons?
They could just treat them as ingredients to cook.
The next moment,
A flash of light appeared in their hands, and a black and a white short blade appeared.
The blades were two feet three inches long, shaped like kitchen knives, radiating an incredibly sharp aura.
These were Imperial Arms custom-made for the two of them. The blades didn't stain with blood or impurities, could dramatically enhance physical abilities, and strengthen perception of malice.
Although not necessarily very powerful, they were absolutely the most suitable for the two chefs.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Facing the Demons now inches away, Erina and the other woman leaped out.
Slice! Slice! Slice!
They were like two shooting stars, weaving through dozens of Demons.
Wherever they passed, amidst the interweaving black and white sword lights, blood columns spurted, and heads flew.
"Ahhhhhhh!"
Unending, miserable screams rang out. Erina and Hisako stood back to back, their eyes becoming extremely cold, as if they're slashing at inanimate objects.
"Such swordsmanship... it's the first time I've seen it."
Kanae, watching from afar, her eyelids twitching. "Every slash is meant to cut the other party into pieces."
"After all, they are chefs." Ayato shrugged. "Yukino, don't just stand there either."
"Yes!"
Snapping back to reality, Yukino raised both hands, her expression becoming serious.
She, too, absolutely couldn't lose.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The sound of tearing air rang out.
Blades of wind descended from the sky like a violent storm.
Dozens of Demons were instantly cut in half, dying in agony.
Erina: "..."
Hisako: "..."
'Dammit!'
'This woman specialized in magic.'
In fact, they didn't want to fight in close combat either.
But they had no choice. Although they also had magical talent, everyone's aptitude and focus were different. Only what was suitable was best.
Then,
Their attacks grew increasingly fierce.
They directly used these Demons as targets for their venting.
For a time,
The Demons' miserable screams grew even more miserable and frequent.
"Kanae, you all join in too. I'll leave the stronger Demons to you."
"Yes, Master."
Kanae and the other two drew their swords and leaped up.
Time slowly passed.
Wherever the group passed, corpses littered the ground.
Slice!
Erina cut off a Demon's head but stumbled.
To kill Demons, she had been attaching magic to her blade for a long time, and her magic power consumption was quite high.
"Erina-sama, are you alright?"
Hisako came closer, her face also pale, her magic power not much better.
Insect Breathing: Caprice.
Butterflies seemed to dance in the sky, sweeping away the surrounding Demons.
Shinobu landed beside the two. "If you're too tired, you can rest."
"Thank you." x2
Looking at Shinobu, their gazes were somewhat complicated.
They didn't expect to be helped by someone several years younger.
But if they were to rest...
Erina's eyes darted around.
"Come, Hisako, let's go replenish our magic."
"Hmm?"
Before Hisako could react, she was already being pulled away.
Now that Erina thought about this,
Ayato hadn't come to see her in several days.
Fighting or something, how could it be as important as this?
Meanwhile…
Ayato was observing the entire battlefield.
He had to say, Yukino and the other two, who had once been ordinary people, all had considerable talent.
In a short time, they had already adapted to the rhythm of battle.
This way,
Although they wouldn't become top-tier among the servants, they wouldn't hold everyone back either. They could definitely follow the group's pace.
Thinking this, he noticed Erina had already run back.
"Master, I'm running low on magic power."
She looked up at Ayato, her fingertips gliding over her lips. Her renowned God's Tongue slowly emerged.
"I need... to replenish my magic."
