Chapter 96 – Blade of Demons (19)
Woo oh oh
A cold wind is heard
With a clear mind, Seo-jun waited for the guests who would continue to come.
How long has it been like that?
A presence was felt outside.
‘It’s here.’
He got up
Nezuko opens her eyes at the presence of Seo-Jun moving.
“… Jun?”
Nezuko looks at him with sleepy eyes.
Seojun said to her.
“It’s dangerous, so don’t come out.”
“Yes? What is that…”
Clap.
Seojun grabbed his sword.
Seeing that, Nezuko shut her mouth.
‘Where the heck is that?’
Obviously, there was no sword when I first came.
Whether she thought so or not, Seo-joon continued.
“No matter what you say, never come out. Got it?”
“… All right.”
Seojun gently stroked Nezuko’s head as he nodded.
After that, Seo-jun opened the door and went outside. While he was gone, Nezuko sat there quietly.
***
A raging snowstorm.
I could see a figure approaching beyond it.
“Hmm?”
There is only one person wearing a suit and fedora called the Michael Jackson look.
This is Kibutsuji Muzan.
“Is it a demon slaughterhouse?”
Muzan muttered as he looked at Seojun standing in front of the house.
His bright red eyes scan him. A haori with a cloud pattern on a sky blue uniform worn with a unique crew member uniform, and finally a sword that contains the energy of the sun.
There is no such characteristic other than the ghost.
“Okay.”
Seojun took a step forward.
In response, Muzan frowned at her in annoyance and said.
“I needed a test subject, and it worked just fine.”
Shhhhh.
He swung Muzan’s arm.
The arm that turned into her tentacle stretched out and swung toward Seo-jun’s neck.
The sharp blade attached to the surface held the anticipation that even steel could be cut in two just by touching it.
A truly fleeting moment.
Seojun’s Ilryundo was taken out of the scabbard.
Breath of heaven.
Type 4, JucheonㆍSunset at sunset (朱天⋅夕暮れ時の日暈).
Sword (拔刀).
The circular slash of the sun slashed through Muzan’s arm.
“… Whoa.”
Retrieving her arm, Muzan looked at her severed hand and spat out her words in displeasure.
“… That skill will be at least the level of a landlord.”
Pudeudeuk.
A guy’s arm that regenerates in an instant.
Muzan opened and closed her regenerated hand a few times before she spoke to Seo-jun.
“Then I can’t let you live any longer.”
Keying.
His fingernails grow like blades.
Standing still, Seojun said to Muzan.
“That’s what I’m going to say. A sickly pale bastard.”
“… What?”
In an instant, the atmosphere changed.
Veins form on Muzan’s face.
For a guy who hates words like ‘you look weak’ or ‘you look sickly’ or ‘you look sickly’ and who takes pride in being a goblin, Seo-jun’s insults are beyond what he can tolerate.
“… You will not die gracefully.”
Wedge love!
Several tentacle arms are ejected towards Seo-joon.
After Seo-joon cut or brushed them off, he stepped forward and ran forward.
The distance between each other that gets closer in an instant.
As if Muzan had already expected it, she used her blood demon technique.
Blood Ghost Art.
Black blood extremity.
Cheer la la rock-
Muzan’s blood coagulated into barbed wire and spread out of her body.
The reason why thorns sprouted everywhere was to inject her blood immediately the moment a small wound was inflicted.
In other words, even just brushing against it is a fatal blow.
Of course, Seo-jun was not weak enough to suffer from such a thing.
Breath of heaven.
Type 6, Yeo-bi (天気雨).
Shoot aaaaa-
Seo-jun’s sword swings at a speed that doesn’t even leave an afterimage.
The sound of how quickly he swung his sword several times was almost audible like the sound of rain.
“Heh, it seems.”
Muzan, who evaluated Seo-jun, who had collected all the black blood spots, showed the next move.
His outstretched palm split open, and a human mouth appeared on the spot.
Blood magic.
Jinhyeol Noho (震血怒號).
Kihehehehehehehe-!!!
The mouth on his palm screamed.
Then, a shock wave in the form of lightning rushed towards Seo-joon in his mouth.
The speed was so fast that the moment he thought he had used it, it was already right in front of him.
Seojun responded quickly.
Breath of heaven.
Type 9. Sky fog
Kwurreung-!
Muzan’s blood ghost technique passes through Seo-jun’s body. As if nothing was there.
And the extending sword aimed precisely at Muzan’s neck.
Seeing this, Muzan’s eyebrows twitched.
“… It was a bigger bug than I thought.”
Muzan raised Seojun’s evaluation.
He was stronger than any landlord he had ever met or had dealt with by other goblins under his command.
So even more.
“I will definitely kill you here.”
Kill them before they become a nuisance.
By any means.
Muzan decided to be a little sincere after a long time.
***
Early morning hills.
In the midst of a rainstorm, the two figures were exchanging battles.
It was Seojun and Muzan.
‘What is this guy… !’
Muzan thought as she looked at Seo-jun, who was dodging her attack.
She dodges all of her own attacks, leaving scars on her own body with her sword.
It was a one-way exchange.
However, to his infinitely regenerating body, he didn’t have to worry about minor wounds like that.
What bothered him was that even though the person in front of him moved like that, not even a single drop of sweat, even his breathing was stable.
I had only seen this once.
Wearing unusual earrings, the only swordsman who almost beat him.
Awesome.
When I remembered that face, my teeth gnashed.
Muzan continued to attack more. If what she used to use was 30% of her power, she has now raised it to 50%.
Even so, she couldn’t be knocked down.
Eventually time ran out.
Because the sun was slowly rising.
Unable to overcome her sun, Muzan reluctantly decided to back away from this point.
“… You won’t be able to live the next time you see it.”
Shushuk-!
After that threat, Muzan’s new form disappeared.
It was only after the guy’s presence completely disappeared that Seo-joon let out a sigh and led the way.
‘It’s easy.’
Dealing with Muzan was pretty easy.
Of course, I knew that he didn’t use power because of pride, so that was included.
‘At this level, I’ll be able to deal with her even if she becomes perfect.’
By the way.
He looked around
“It’s a complete mess.”
Broken trees leaving only the ground and stumps mercilessly torn apart.
The pure white snow that covered the heavens and earth was splattered with blood from Muzan.
But fortunately, the Kamado family’s house is safe.
Seojun shook his head and turned around.
“…”
“…”
The gazes of the Kamado family and Seo-jun collide in the air.
Consternation and horror appeared on their faces.
“Sweep, don’t come out…”
Seojun scratched his head.
Kie, who came to her senses at the muttering, asked.
“All right, who are you? What was that monster just now?”
Warble.
At that, Seo-joon smiled as if to reassure him.
At the same time, he sprayed a calming pheromone.
And the explanation started.
“… Do you mean goblins actually exist?”
Key with a surprised expression.
Seojun nodded his head.
“Yes. Goblins exist. And protecting people from those goblins is the job of a demonic swordsman like me.”
“… Ah.”
I saw the Kamado family.
That dignified figure from the back fighting against a non-human monster without retreating even a single step.
When I remembered that, a sense of security filled my body.
“… Me, go, thank you.”
Nezuko stepped forward and thanked her.
She knew Seo-jun, who sensed the danger before anyone else, took the lead and fought to protect himself.
Seo-jun smiled brightly at that admirable action.
“What, I just did the obvious. Thank you even from the bottom of my heart.”
“… Yes.”
Anger.
Nezuko’s face turned red.
She hid behind Kie’s back, perhaps ashamed.
It’s a sight that makes me happy.
Anyway, as I resolved misunderstandings and received thanks, the day dawned brighter. And Tanjiro, who went out to sell charcoal, returned.
“Is everyone okay?!”
Tanjiro entered the house and shouted urgently.
It must have smelled Muzan’s blood.
“Ah, brother!”
“Brother!”
The children hug Tanjiro.
He let out a sigh of relief when he saw that his family was safe.
“What happened? Who else is he?”
“Let me explain, brother.”
Nezuko told me what happened last night.
Hearing all of this, Tanjiro was very surprised, but he immediately approached Seojun and bowed his head deeply.
“Thank you so much for saving my family! How should I repay this favor…”
“Are you okay. Because I just did what I had to do.”
Seojun waved his hand.
Still, he smiled inwardly.
‘A good impression success.’
It was a great success, more than what was initially aimed at.
