65 Find a Way to eat Muzan Kibutsuji

The bonfire burned, dispelling the darkness around and giving a comforting and warm feeling.

Tang An and Mitsuri sat on a piece of wood, the latter happily enjoying a pack of spicy strips with narrowed eyes.

As Tang An smelled the pleasant fragrance of this cute girl, his thoughts raced in the world of Demon Slayer.

A millennium ago, a man named Muzan Kibutsuji, afflicted with a terminal illness, became an immortal demon under the treatment of a kind doctor.

Initially, the doctor developed a medicine to prolong life for Muzan, but with slight side effects that worsened his condition, leading him to kill the doctor.

Only after the doctor's death did Muzan realize that not only had his health recovered, but he was also now immortal.

However, demons needed to feed on humans and would disintegrate in sunlight.

For a millennium, Muzan, in his quest for a cure for sunlight vulnerability, turned humans into demons by using his blood, searching for the Blue Spider Lily mentioned in the doctor's formula.

Thus, Muzan embarked on the path of an antagonist, growing in power and influence.

The emergence of demons led to the formation of the Demon Slayer Corps, initially comprising ordinary individuals with sword skills. However, they were no match for demons in terms of strength, speed, and recovery until a genius named Yoriichi Tsugikuni appeared.

This genius created the Sun Breathing technique, granting humans the ability to counter demons through controlled breathing.

Muzan was even close to being defeated by this prodigy.

Over time, the sword skills of demon slayers gave birth to five fundamental styles: Water, Thunder, Flame, Rock, and Wind. Later, new breathing techniques with various characteristics were developed based on these five styles.

With the introduction of breathing techniques, the Demon Slayer Corps strengthened, engaging demons led by Muzan in intense battles.

Eventually, Muzan killed the entire family of Destiny's Child, Tanjiro Kamado, leaving only his sister, Nezuko, turned into a demon.

For revenge, Tanjiro began to grow stronger. The intervening details are not necessary; after all, Muzan is destined to die at the hands of Destiny's Child.

A mere antagonist, even if a leader, bows before Destiny's Child. Moreover, Muzan killed the entire family of Tanjiro, an unforgivable act, and revenge is inevitable.

Compared to Destiny's Child, Tang An is more interested in Muzan.

As long as a human drinks the blood of this guy and undergoes the transformation, they become an immortal demon.

If Muzan is consumed, could one become the progenitor of demons in place of him? Like devouring Ymir to gain the power of the Founding Titan.

Regarding the fear of sunlight, Muzan finally found a solution. Besides searching for the Blue Spider Lily, he created demons continuously. This was not only to find the flower but also to see if a demon that wasn't afraid of sunlight could appear. Once found, consuming it would eliminate the weakness of sunlight.

Conveniently, Destiny's Child's sister, Nezuko, adapted to sunlight. So, by consuming Nezuko, who adapted to sunlight, Muzan would no longer fear sunlight, eliminating that weakness.

Tang An's gaze kept flickering; the temptation of immortality was indeed enticing.

Additionally, Tang An speculated that the medicine the doctor prepared for Muzan a thousand years ago might have undergone some mutation, similar to genetic drugs or viruses in a bio-crisis. This would continuously evolve genes and cells, explaining Muzan's invulnerability and rapid regeneration.

Strictly speaking, as long as the cells don't die, the organism can live forever. Muzan should be an example of this.

Finally, Muzan's death was also due to the significant effect of the drug researched by Tamayo. Otherwise, Tanjiro and the Demon Slayer Corps would not have been able to endure until dawn, allowing the sun to kill Muzan.

"Thank you for the hospitality."

While Tang An contemplated, Mitsuri had already finished the pack of spicy strips. Her sexy lips exhaled, and her cheeks blushed with a hint of sweat.

Tang An regained focus, looking at this girl.

Currently, the Demon Slayer Corps has nine of the most powerful demon hunters known as the "Hashira."

Coincidentally, the girl beside him is one of them.

Love Hashira Mitsuri Kanroji, using the Love Breathing, a branch of the Flame Breathing.

"I'm Tang An."

Tang An revealed a sweet smile.

"Ah... Oh... I'm Mitsuri Kanroji, nice to meet you."

"Mitsuri Kanroji? A very cute name. Can I call you Mitsuri?"

"Ah... Su... Sure!"

Mitsuri lowered her head, her hands constantly turning in circles.

Although Mitsuri is one of the strongest Hashira in the Demon Slayer Corps, her thoughts are pure, lively, and somewhat shy.

Joining the Demon Slayer Corps, she also wants to find a spouse stronger than herself. She's also a big eater, a glutton.

"By the way, Mitsuri, how did you end up here?"

Tang An pulled away, looking at the bonfire while casually changing the subject.

"This area is my responsibility. I rushed here when I heard the commotion."

"Thank you for coming."

"It's what I should do, besides, I didn't really help much."

Mitsuri lowered her head, feeling nervous for some reason when facing those bright eyes.

"Then... Let's go back to my house first! In a few days, I'll recommend you for the final selection."

"Please take care of me, Mitsuri."

"Sure!"

Tang An used soil to extinguish the bonfire, and the two slowly left the forest. Faintly, their conversation was carried by the evening breeze.

"Tang An, you're really thoughtful, even extinguishing the bonfire."

"Just in case, to avoid causing a wildfire."

"...."
