Night falls and the cold wind blows.
Under the moonlight, there is a hint of murderous intent hidden in the air.
In his room, Victor sat cross-legged, spiritual energy lingering around him, the corners of his clothes moving without wind. He looked quite like an immortal cultivator.
Hmm?
Victor suddenly opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his dark pupils.
"Boss, you're finally here."
The corners of his mouth unconsciously raised slightly.
He walked out of his room and came to the door of Shinobu's quarters.
But before he could knock, the door was opened.
Shinobu emerged holding her Nichirin Blade.
"It seems you've noticed them too."
Shinobu nodded and said, "And it seems that quite a few have come."
Although her perception ability wasn't as good as Victor's, she could smell the bloody scent of the demons from hundreds of meters away!
"Indeed, there are quite a few. About forty."
Victor spread his spiritual consciousness, and within a radius of one kilometer, no demons could hide!
"They've split into two groups. Upper Rank Three is leading a group of demons and preparing to attack the Butterfly Mansion from the south."
"Muzan and Upper Rank One Kokushibo are quietly approaching from the north."
"Are they trying to feint to the east and attack in the west?"
Shinobu immediately guessed Muzan's intention.
The group of demons led by Upper Rank Three was obviously making a diversionary attack to create noise so that the Butterfly Mansion would focus its defense on the south.
Meanwhile, Muzan and Kokushibo could take the opportunity to sneak into the Butterfly Mansion!
This Muzan was really cautious.
On the surface, the Butterfly Mansion was just the base of a Hashira-level swordsman.
Normally, one or two Upper Ranks would be enough to flatten this place.
But he still chose the safest approach.
However, this also indirectly proved how much importance he placed on the Blue Spider Lily!
Victor said: "You go deal with the group of demons led by Upper Rank Three, and I'll take care of Muzan and Kokushibo."
"Understood!"
After watching Shinobu leave, Victor came to the courtyard with the five fake flowers and sat down, quietly waiting for Muzan's arrival.
Soon, the battle in the south began.
The sound of fighting could be heard from a great distance.
From time to time, rising flames could be seen.
"It's really lively... don't you think so?"
Victor turned his head and looked at the cobblestone path outside the courtyard.
Two blurry figures had appeared there at some point, as if they were about to blend into the darkness. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see them clearly at all.
A breeze blew by, pushing aside the clouds, and a ray of silver moonlight fell on them, revealing their forms.
The leader was wearing a suit and a fedora. He looked very impressive and at first glance appeared to be the eldest son of a wealthy family.
The person behind him was wearing a purple snake-patterned kimono and black hakama, with a katana hanging at his waist. He had six eyes on his face, which was chilling to behold.
The two figures were none other than the scumbag boss Muzan and his subordinate Kokushibo!
"Blue Spider Lily..."
From the moment he appeared, Muzan's eyes had never left the fake flowers in Victor's arms.
There was an unconcealable greed in his gaze.
"Do you want them?"
Victor weighed the flowerpot in his hand and asked.
The opportunity to overcome his weakness to sunlight was right in front of him, but Muzan didn't dare to act rashly.
Because the Blue Spider Lily was in Victor's hands, he was afraid that Victor would destroy all the flowers if he became unhappy!
"Human, if you give me the flowers in your hand, I will grant you immortality! And I will make you second only to me!"
At this moment, Muzan looked like a black-hearted boss recruiting new employees.
The promise was grand, but whether it would be fulfilled was another matter entirely.
"Really?!"
Victor's eyes lit up, as if he had been persuaded.
Seeing that there was hope for negotiations, Muzan sneered inwardly.
Sure enough, no one could refuse immortality!
He immediately struck while the iron was hot: "Of course it's true! Everyone knows that once I, Muzan, give my word, I never go back on it!"
What a claim about never going back on his word. It would probably be easier to bring a dead horse back to life than to trust his promises.
If Victor didn't know what kind of personality Muzan had, he might have actually believed his lies.
But of course, you had to play the part completely.
Victor pretended to hesitate for a moment before nodding: "Okay, I'll give them to you!"
After saying that, he threw the flowerpot in his hand over.
Seeing this, Muzan quickly reached out to catch it.
Blue Spider Lily...
After a thousand years, it was finally, finally going to fall into his hands!
At this moment, Muzan had even begun to imagine a better life in the future.
However, just as the flowerpot was about to fall into Muzan's hands...
At that moment, Victor grinned, and his rows of snow-white teeth looked particularly dazzling in the moonlight.
A Nichirin Blade appeared in his left hand at some point, and he slowly swung it downward.
Muzan had just caught the flowerpot, but the next second, he threw the flowerpot into the sky and charged toward Victor.
Then he dropped to his knees and slid in front of Victor.
Looking at the Nichirin Blade that was about to fall, Muzan's face turned pale and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.
At that moment, with a sharp clap, Muzan steadily caught the Nichirin Blade that fell from Victor's hand.
Muzan: (╯(●Д●)╯) What the hell?!
Kokushibo: Σ(⊙▽⊙) What?!
[Ding! Your actions were too abstract—you gained 2,000 Abstract Points!]
"Damn it, what's going on? Why can't I move?"
After a brief moment of confusion, Muzan wanted to get up, but found that he couldn't move at all!
"Bastard! What did you do to me?"
Muzan glared at Victor, wishing he could tear the person in front of him to pieces.
This guy must have done something to him!
"My lord! I'm here to help you!"
Kokushibo snapped out of his daze, drew his Nichirin Blade and slashed at Victor.
"Moon Breathing, First Form: Dark Moon, Evening Palace..."
"Stop making noise and kneel down too!"
Victor pulled the blade from Muzan's hands and swung it again.
The next second, Kokushibo dropped the Nichirin Blade in his hand, slid in front of Victor, and raised his hands as if to catch the blade with his bare hands.
Kokushibo: (╯(●Д●)╯) What the hell?!
Muzan: (╯(●Д●)╯) What the hell?!
[Ding! Your actions were too abstract—you gained 1,000 Abstract Points!]
Their movements were in perfect synchronization, as if they had rehearsed it.
"Bastard! A warrior can be killed but not humiliated!" Kokushibo's composure finally broke.
In all these years, he had never suffered such humiliation!
"You think you're the only one who can be killed but not humiliated?"
Victor kicked out and directly exploded the upper bodies of both Muzan and Kokushibo.
Blood splattered everywhere and the scene was extremely gruesome!
While these two were still under the ten-second control effect, Victor used the power of the Path of Destruction to burn all of Muzan's flesh and blood to ash.
And with the death of Muzan, Kokushibo and all the other demons in the world who were controlled by Muzan were instantly wiped out!
From then on, the demons that had plagued the world for thousands of years finally came to an end!
