The sibling duo, having separated to fight, finally reunited in their final moments.
“You idiot brother!”
“You’re the idiot!”
They began to argue, expressing their fear of death to each other.
Fang Bo watched from a distance, unmoved by their plight. He wasn’t Tanjiro, lacking the compassion to intervene. Compared to the soon-to-be-dead Upper Moons, the feast that Jorogumo was having was much more intriguing.
The large spider’s lips and teeth moved, slowly consuming the siblings’ corpses. By the time she finished her meal, the two severed heads had already turned to dust.
【Current devouring progress: 72.25%】
“One more Upper Moon and Jorogumo’s destiny task will be completed,” Fang Bo thought with some anticipation.
Even if she couldn’t be recruited as a follower right away, her attributes and skills would see a significant boost, which would be invaluable for the upcoming final battle.
With the Sound Hashira successfully activating his mark, the Demon Slayer Corps’ strength saw a further increase, gradually tipping the balance of power in their favour.
But first, Fang Bo needed to help Uzui Tengen purge the poison from his body. Otherwise, the Hashira would succumb to the toxin, leaving his three wives as widows.
Looking at the critically injured Uzui Tengen, Fang Bo slowly placed his hand on him.
Heal!
The sensation of the poison invading his body and the intense pain of the severed arm were vividly felt by Fang Bo. As his health slowly dwindled, Uzui Tengen’s condition visibly improved. The poison was purged, and even the severed arm began to heal.
This was the power of the Healing skill—it didn’t just restore health but returned the injured person to their pre-injury state. Even if someone had their arm severed or was castrated, Fang Bo could heal them back to normal.
“Thanks,” Uzui Tengen muttered weakly as he struggled to stand.
Fang Bo, exhausted and wincing, turned and walked towards the loot chest.
Using the Healing skill always brought him immense pain, almost unbearable. The only upside was his increased tolerance for pain, preventing him from freezing up during attacks.
The recent sneak attack from Gyutaro nearly finished him off, but his familiarity with pain allowed Fang Bo to escape quickly.
“Sometimes, pain isn’t entirely a bad thing.”
【You are opening the plot chest (Gold)】
【You receive 500 plot points】
【You receive Blood-Blade Dual Sickles】
【You receive Blood Demon Art Scroll】
【You receive Sharp Sashes】
The siblings only dropped one chest, which was a bit disappointing in quantity but made up for it in quality.
Blood Demon Art: Flying Blood Sickles: D-rank skill, consumes 2 SP to release a blood blade that can track enemies.
Gyutaro’s Blood Demon Art allowed for mid-range physical attacks, which could fetch a good price in the Reincarnation Space.
The sharp sashes, a staple for Upper Moons, were perfect for crafting Memory Armor. Fang Bo had collected quite a few and could soon start crafting.
For the final skill slot, Fang Bo aimed for a B-rank skill. As the highest skill level in this difficult world, B-rank skills were incredibly powerful. Jorogumo’s support and Ubume’s attack power were already impressive, but they were still only C-rank. A B-rank skill would significantly boost his strength, allowing him to dominate a difficulty-one world.
Feeling content, Fang Bo turned his attention to the chest’s most valuable item.
Name: Blood-Blade Dual Sickles
Grade: Epic
Type: Dual Weapons
Attack: 10-12
Durability: 80/80
Attribute Boost: Agility +2, Strength +1
Usage Requirement: Agility 14, Basic Dual Wielding Lv5
Special Effect: Poison Blade
Origin: Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba
Evaluation: Never lick it; it’s poisonous.
Poison Blade (Passive): Imbues the weapon with a deadly poison, causing various effects based on the poison used.
These were Gyutaro’s weapons, lethal enough that Fang Bo almost died from their attack. Now, they were his. The weapons boasted high attack power, capable of inflicting significant critical damage, and their Poison Blade skill allowed for active enchantment.
Conveniently, Jorogumo’s poison could be used, enabling him to suppress demons’ regeneration abilities, reducing their threat by half.
This meant Fang Bo could now inflict devastating blows on Upper Moons even without his shikigami’s support.
The weapons would be perfect for equipping his puppet, occupying two mechanism slots due to being dual sickles. In terms of raw attack, it was like stacking the damage of four epic weapons.
Considering the enhanced critical damage and rate, the theoretical damage could exceed 200 points. Even an Upper Moon boss could lose a significant portion of its health in one full attack from the puppet.
Of course, achieving this in combat wasn’t easy. In previous battles, opportunities to land full damage hits were rare. Coordinating six blades to hit simultaneously required precise timing.
“If only Yoriichi Type Zero could continue upgrading.”
Seeing Uzui Tengen stand, Fang Bo knew the Entertainment District arc was over. His strength had greatly increased, and the Demon Slayer Corps remained intact, signalling Muzan’s imminent downfall.
However, the main characters hadn’t participated in any major battles, missing out on vital growth and experience. Their lack of involvement might lead to significant changes in the storyline.
But at this point, Fang Bo had no choice but to press on.
After bidding farewell to the Sound Hashira, who was heading back to report, Fang Bo leisurely made his way to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.
With plenty of time before the mission deadline, he wasn’t in a hurry. Space wouldn’t force a world mission until necessary.
Upon reaching the headquarters, he’d check in on his old friends and see if they were interested in any of the items he’d acquired.
Meanwhile, Muzan convened a meeting in the Infinity Castle.
During the meeting, the Demon King addressed the common issues within the Twelve Kizuki, emphasizing the need for team building and restructuring to achieve the goal of destroying the Demon Slayer Corps.
“Half a day, Gyokko, Akaza, Gyutaro,” Muzan recited the names of the fallen Upper Moons, staring ahead emotionlessly. “Tell me, what reason do you have to exist?”
“Forgive me, Lord Muzan,” Doma wavered, feigning fear and reverence. “I didn’t expect Akaza to be so weak. If I had known, I would have gone instead…”
Before he could finish, Doma’s limbs were broken, and his head appeared in Muzan’s hand.
Staring into Doma’s eyes, Muzan spoke calmly, “Are you saying my command was flawed?”
Doma, lacking basic emotions and even the fear of death, understood that he didn’t want to die yet.
“Um, I meant that Akaza failed to meet your expectations. We will help make amends for his shortcomings.”
Using the sycophantic language his followers used on him, Doma managed to quell Muzan’s rage.
Squeezing blood from his wrist, Muzan granted it to several individuals below.
“Upper Moon Three, Nakime.”
“Upper Moon Four, Kagaku.”
“And you…”
In the corner of the platform stood a refined man, leaning against the wall, smiling as he watched the scene unfold.
Among the gathered demons, only Kokushibo, the strongest, refrained from bowing to Muzan.
“Foodie,” Muzan addressed him after a long silence, “I hope what you provide is useful.”
“From now on, you are Upper Moon Five.”
