Chapter 553 Confused Muzan

After enhancing the weapons, Asahi also restored the face of Snake Hashira along the way. This guy was also very miserable when he was a child. It can be said that except for a few demons, they really don't deserve any sympathy.

They are all a bunch of rubbish. Let's face it, no matter how wronged they were before becoming a demon, they will no longer be innocent after becoming a demon.

This includes Tamayo, who has been with Muzan in the past, as there are not a few people she has eaten.

Although it was not voluntary, she had already been exposed to these things, so in the end she chose to sacrifice herself.

Because she herself also knows that she has a lot of blood debts on her body. Strictly speaking, the only ghosts who don't have problems are Yushiro and Nezuko.

Snake Hashira's face is really nothing to look at, as it's not much different from a ghost. But with his face restored, he now looked quite handsome.

After that, the Demon Slayer Corps gathered all the members back. Although the demons outside would be rampant for a period of time, Kagaya chose to take the risk so that they can defeat Muzan.

To be honest, the Demon Slayer Corps does not have the duty to kill demons, as they don't owe anyone anything.

On the contrary… there are countless people who owe them too many things, even their lives.

The Demon Slayer Corps began intense training sessions, bringing their members to the brink of their capabilities. Muzan would not be defeated easily, and they had to be prepared to face the immensely powerful opponent.

As for Asahi, he is only responsible for training and mentoring the elite fighters who had mastered Total Concentration Breathing, and only the elites can get his attention.

Among them, there is naturally the group of people from the protagonist party. Shinazugawa Genya, who has a special physique, was also taken care of by Asahi for his physique, allowing him to completely follow the path of body training.

With their unique physical attributes and Asahi's guidance, Genya's strength, who already had an exceptional constitution, continued to grow.

He was particularly suited for physical training and under Asahi's mentorship, he became increasingly formidable. This transformation brought about changes not just in his power but also in his relationship with his brother, Sanemi.

Genya, who now understood his brother's pursuit, stopped distancing him, and their bond improved. Tokito Muichiro, who had lost his memories, regained them during this time.

In this training, the group of people also awakened the Demon Slayer Mark. After the Demon Slayer Mark was awakened, they would die before reaching the age of 25. As for those who awakened Demon Slayer Mark after the age of 25, they will undoubtedly die the next day.

Speaking of which, Gyomei can be said to be very amazing. Because he knows that he will die soon after awakening the Demon Slayer Mark, this guy simply awakened the Demon Slayer Mark during the final battle. He was so awesome that he could awaken it whenever he wanted.

Of course, this time, they don't have to worry about consuming their vitality. Such things as vitality can be said to be unlimited in Asahi's hands.

With a little blessing like this, they naturally don't need to worry about this problem.

The Demon Slayer Corps, under Asahi's help, has been training in full swing and has become stronger and stronger.

The other thing is, that guy named Kaigaku has been dealt with by Gyomei.

In Asahi's view, that Kaigaku doesn't deserve any sympathy. According to his own statement, he was just trying to survive, but here comes the question, why did he remove the wisteria incense?

Kaigaku's actions and intentions showed his evilness. Even though he claimed he wanted to survive, his decisions were malicious and endangered others.

In the end, this guy was directly defeated by Gyomei, but Gyomei never killed him.

One is because of his relationship with the previous Thunder Hashira, and the other is because he has never killed people.

Although Kaigaku is not worthy of forgiveness, it is not Kaigaku himself who killed people. Of course, Kaigaku also paid the price afterwards. The tragic thing about this world is not death, but life worse than death.

Asahi moved this guy to a special closed space, and gave him enough vitality to survive for a hundred years without eating or drinking. This is the price he needs to pay, as sometimes, death is a kind of relief.

Of course, it is useless for him to commit suicide. This vitality will directly restore all his injuries, and he will not be able to die until a hundred years later. This is his punishment.

Asahi didn't tell others the specific content of the punishment, but it was enough for others to know that Kaigaku had been punished.

During this period of time, another person started to panic, which is none other than Muzan.

He recently discovered a big problem, that is, the Demon Slayer Corps, that should have been active in killing demons everywhere, began to disappear quickly.

Until they disappeared without a trace. And in the past two months, no demon has encountered a member of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Not a single demon has been killed in two months, which is not good news for Muzan. After all, if the Demon Slayer Corps is still active, it would allow him to gauge their strength and remain cautious.

However, the situation was different now. The Demon Slayer Corps had mysteriously disappeared, and not just individual members but the entire organization, from the lowest-ranking members to the highest-ranking Hashira, had vanished without a trace. It was as if they had all evaporated from the face of the earth.

Realizing that something was amiss, Muzan ordered many demons to search for them in various locations, but they couldn't find any leads. After all, Nakime hadn't evolved to that level yet, and the exact location of the Demon Slayer Corps has been sealed off by Asahi, making it impossible for them to locate it.

Therefore, they couldn't find anything. There had been no trace of the Demon Slayer Corps for two months, which was a significant concern for Muzan.

So, Muzan immediately summoned all the Upper and Lower Ranks to Infinity Castle.

"Eh, I am in Infinity Castle? Why am I here? I thought the Demon Slayer Corps had already disappeared for some time."

Doma is a little confused. They appeared in Infinity Castle and were instantly transported there, which could only mean that Muzan had called them. Usually, such a summons only happened when there was a shortage of Upper Ranks.

The Lower Ranks were more frequently summoned for meetings, while the Upper Ranks hadn't been called like this for a century.

Muzan was more lenient with the Upper Ranks, as he allowed them to call his name, at the very least. But for the Lower Ranks, mentioning his name would be their immediate end.

"Doma-sama, it's been a long time!"

After reaching the central position, Doma also noticed his acquaintances of the Upper Ranks, Daki and Gyutaro.

He had personally groomed them and transformed them into demons. It's because Upper Ranks like Doma had Muzan's blood in their veins, allowing them to turn humans into demons.

So in the past, when Doma was still an Upper Rank Six, he had transformed Daki and Gyutaro into demons.
