Demon Slayer: Muzan, will you dance too?

Miss Tamayo clearly had her own ulterior motives; she saw another possibility in Kiyokawa Izumi.

It's unrealistic to expect another Tsugikuni to emerge and join the team.

Only sunlight can kill Muzan; therefore, a drug that can weaken Muzan must be developed.

In addition, many powerful swordsmen are needed to cooperate.

Only by satisfying the above two conditions can Muzan be kept occupied until dawn, and only then can the sunlight be used to kill him completely.

The sudden outbreak of the decisive battle caught her off guard.

Without prior cooperation with the Demon Slayer Corps and without exchanging insights on poisons with Shinobu Kocho, the Nine Thousand Year Pill could not be developed.

Even so, upon receiving the lord's invitation, they still came here without hesitation.

Unwilling to let any opportunity slip by, her previous thoughts were shaken after seeing Muzan in his demon king form—Tamayo was far from being as calm as she appeared.

No one knew better than her just how powerful Muzan was.

Even if the Demon Slayer Corps gathered more Pillars, it wouldn't be enough to kill this vile and selfish bastard.

Just when she thought the Demon Slayer Corps' operation was bound to fail, an unexpected situation occurred.

That young swordsman named Kiyokawa Izumi actually managed to force Muzan to reveal his second form.

It was utterly unbelievable; the word "shock" simply couldn't describe her feelings at that moment.

Kiyokawa Izumi is indeed no match for Tsugikuni Yoriichi, but what is it that he lacks?

His physical body limited his strength.

If he were willing to become a demon, with his powerful regenerative abilities and physical attributes far exceeding those of ordinary people, could he possibly stand up against Muzan?

Is there any chance to kill Muzan?

There's no need to worry about the side effects of awakening facial markings, nor will they inevitably lead to aging over time.

As a demon, Kiyokawa Izumi's power will only increase.

It's understandable that Tamayoshi would waver once such an idea came to mind.

Her selfish desire was to kill Muzan, even if it went against Kiyokawa Izumi's wishes, she had to try.

It wasn't that she had any ill intentions towards the young swordsman; on the contrary, she respected him greatly.

But right now, don't we have no other choice?

Even if there is a possibility of failure, it's better than doing nothing, right?

Tamayo's words had a great impact on Shinobu Kocho—she didn't think Kiyokawa Izumi was willing to become a man-eating demon. Such a transformation would be a great insult to the Pillars and the Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen.

I once fantasized that even if Mr. Kiyokawa Izumi became a demon, he would still be able to stay true to himself and resist the temptation to eat people... Such fantasies were only fleeting and were quickly replaced by other thoughts.

"The demon I transformed into is different from Muzan; it doesn't crave eating people as much and only needs to drink a small amount of fresh blood."

Mr. Kiyokawa Izumi's injuries are too severe; only by transforming into a demon can he possibly recover.

Seemingly noticing Shinobu's momentary hesitation, Tamayo said softly, "I have also researched drugs that can turn demons back into humans."

If Mr. Kiyokawa Izumi does not wish to become a demon, there is a possibility that he may later become human again.

How can I believe you're telling the truth?

The sharp blade remained unmoved; Shinobu Kocho knew that her choice at this moment was extremely important.

"I have never harbored any ill will towards Mr. Kiyokawa Izumi, but I see in him the potential to kill Muzan."

Tamayo's words were very sincere; she was willing to take a huge risk to come here for this sliver of possibility.

But then again, she is, after all, a ghost.

Her different social status prevented her from gaining Shinobu's trust.

Neither prejudice nor resentment towards evil spirits can be dispelled in a few words.

How much weight can a few light words carry?

"call--"

Shinobu Kocho, who was struggling to make a decision, finally put away her Nichirin Blade—she didn't trust Tamayo, but she was willing to believe the judgment made by Izumi Kiyokawa.

Since this person believes Tamayo is trustworthy, then she is willing to believe her this once too.

"What do you need me to do?"

"Nothing is needed!"

Tamayo shook her head.

……

Let's return to the other side of the battlefield.

At this moment, the three pillars of wind, water, and rock are naturally fighting Muzan.

Within minutes, all three Pillars were injured and needed to work together seamlessly to barely withstand Muzan's attacks.

It's like walking on a tightrope; one wrong step and you could suffer a serious injury.

For them, it wasn't just immense pressure; it was a constant struggle on the brink of death.

Both the Stone Pillar and the Wind and Water Pillars have clearly realized that numbers are meaningless in the face of Muzan.

Without a qualitative improvement, there is absolutely no possibility of dragging it out until dawn.

"Tamayo!!"

The scumbag boss's attention was not on the three people in front of him, but on Tamayo, who was not far away. The guy who betrayed him, who had been hiding and barely surviving until now, actually had the audacity to show up here.

Where did she get the courage?

Traitors must die!

"Muzan, you really are pathetic..."

Facing her former boss, Tamayo only coldly mocked him.
