Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: Muzan's Fury! Swearing to Protect Yoriichi's Family!

Demon Slayer World

Infinity Castle

An even more oppressive atmosphere filled the Infinity Castle. Kokushibou remained silent, and Akaza's expression was dark as if he had remembered something.

Young Wife Muzan's teeth gnashed even louder.

For all these years, she had always wanted to know why, why that monster absolutely had to kill her!

Now she finally knew!!!

Who! Who!!!

The surging wrath was about to erupt like a volcano. Young Wife Muzan even prepared to meticulously review the memories of every demon that had existed for hundreds of years!

But just then, a demon with a green face, fangs, and a foolish expression proudly stood up!

"My Lord! I killed his wife! Please reward me!"

Instantly, three figures pierced through that demon, followed by endless torment.

"Finally, I finally found you," Young Wife Muzan caressed the Lower Rank demon, laughing maniacally.

Eat, I'll let you eat your fill!!!

She, Kibutsuji Muzan, swore! If she could go back in time, she would forever protect Yoriichi's family's safety!!!

...Butterfly Estate

Kamado Tanjiro fought and was beaten by Kochou Shinobu as if tireless.

Even with bruises covering his body, he didn't stop.

It wasn't until Kochou Shinobu delivered a heavy blow that knocked Kamado Tanjiro down, unable to get up, that he finally stopped.

"Hey! Kamado Tanjiro, are you crazy?" Inosuke rushed forward, but at some point, Kamado Tanjiro's face was already covered in tears.

"My... my family was also like Mr. Yoriichi..." Kamado Tanjiro cried uncontrollably.

It was all his fault for being too weak, his fault for not coming home sooner, his fault...

"Shinobu-sama," Kanao was a little moved.

"It's alright, just cry it out," Kochou Shinobu shook her head.

In life, there are many sorrows that tears cannot wash away. So truly strong people smile even louder when they want to cry the most, and in the end, they move forward with pain and sorrow, with a smile... Pikachu World

"Demons are truly despicable! If we were there, we would definitely use Ten Million Volts to eliminate all of them, right!"

"Pika~ Pi!" Pikachu's body erupted with lightning... No Game No Life: Zero

"Riku... If someone dies, does it mean we won't see them again?" Schwi looked at the departing Schwi in the screen and the grieving Tsugikuni Yoriichi, asking with a slight pause.

"Not necessarily, you might meet again in the next life," Riku forced a smile.

"No! Schwi wants to be with Riku forever in this life!"

...Fate World

Fourth Holy Grail War Era

Kirei Kotomine, dressed in a solemn black priest's attire, loudly proclaimed 'love' from the Bible.

But the joy in his eyes had long since overflowed... Dragon Raja

Under the cherry blossom tree

Pink petals drifted down, a princess-like figure bathed in a sea of flowers, silently shedding tears.

The little monster is a bad guy... CLANNAD World

A little loli with short brown hair, Ushio Okazaki, silently curled into a ball.

She... didn't want to be separated from her family.

But Mama could never come back.

Attack on Titan World

"Nothing can be changed, nothing can be changed!"

Even those born strong couldn't save what they cherished in the end!

Then what can an ordinary and common person like him do?!

Eren's pupils contracted sharply, the scene of his mother's tragic death years ago reappearing in his mind!

Why is there so much misfortune in the world, why are there so many monsters!!!

[Thus, Yoriichi finally became a member of the Demon Slayer Corps.

With Yoriichi's arrival, the Demon Slayer Corps, which had been fighting demons for many years, underwent a drastic change!

According to each person's differences, Yoriichi guided everyone to practice different Breathing Styles.

Taking his self-created 'Sun Breathing' as the origin, the strongest swordsmen known as Pillars, integrated the existing five great sword styles of Flame, Wind, Water, Thunder, and Stone, creating homologous Breathing Styles!

After that, the Demon Slayer Corps, with an overwhelming momentum, once curbed the growth of demons!

And during this period, Yoriichi also rescued his older brother, who was attacked by evil demons in the mountains!

"You... are you Yoriichi?" Kokushibo pointed at Yoriichi in astonishment.

"Yes, Brother, long time no see," Yoriichi's heart flickered with joy; it was the reunion of family, and also... Yoriichi had found his only remaining connection again.

As always, Yoriichi held his brother in utmost respect and trust.

But Yoriichi still didn't realize the immense impact his heroic figure, slaying fierce demons, had on Kokushibo. The karmic fire that hadn't been ignited for many years blazed fiercely once again!

The twisted, insane fire of jealousy, hidden beneath his calm exterior, burned fiercely, as if it would incinerate his internal organs!]

[Goetia: "Human desires are too terrifying."]

[Tiamat: "Aaaaaaa — —"]

[Meli: "If it weren't for that, why would they be called humans?"]

[Boros: "Hypocritical, filthy, chaotic, yet not lacking in kindness? I have a general understanding of humans now."]

...

[Yoriichi's strength made Kokushibo abandon his family, forsake everything, just to keep up with Yoriichi's pace!

The battle was endless; to exterminate demons, every swordsman trained constantly, but even with desperate efforts, they couldn't catch up to Yoriichi.

Even when they later developed demon slayer marks on their bodies, they still couldn't catch up to Yoriichi.

He was too strong.

Even with the breathing techniques, Kokushibo couldn't use them. The one he used was Moon Breathing, also derived from Sun Breathing.

At that time, Yoriichi often talked with his elder brother. Their generation was too powerful, so the hope of passing on the breathing techniques was extremely slim.

But Yoriichi was always full of hope for the future. "We are not such remarkable figures. From beginning to end, we are just a speck of dust in a long history. Times are always progressing."

"In the future, there will definitely be successors who reach our level. We don't need to worry."

Kokushibo said nothing, his eyes only growing darker.

When a genius spoke of his own ordinariness, Kokushibo, consumed by the fire of jealousy, felt an immense irony and disgust.

Always, always saying that!!!

Why always put on such a nauseating act! Tsugikuni Yoriichi, how long will you keep pretending!!!

With his eyes obscured by distortion, Kokushibo never realized the pure heart, like that of a child, from beginning to end.

He didn't notice the untainted soul.

Even more, he didn't notice... the sorrow and confusion that never faded after the Death of his wife and child.

"No matter when, we can always leave this world without any worries..." Yoriichi stood beside his brother, a smile, long absent, gracing his lips.

Time flew by, and suddenly one day, the tranquility was broken. Yoriichi was surrounded by the members of the Demon Slayer Corps.

It turned out that those who activated their demon slayer marks began to die for no reason!

Activating a demon slayer mark was merely borrowing life from the heavens! Those who activated it would not live past 25!

The swordsmen who heard the news were in disbelief for a moment, and hostile glances were directed at Yoriichi!]

Demon Slayer Corps

"These cowards!!!"

Shinazugawa Sanemi growled in a low voice.

If they feared Death, then what was the purpose of joining the Demon Slayer Corps in the first place?!
