Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World.

Chapter 302 The Ghost King Used as a Meat Shield

"impossible!"

Although Muzan Kibutsuji has personality flaws...

But it is also because of his sensitivity and flaws that he is unable to trust or submit to anyone.

In his eyes, surrendering was no different from handing over one's life to Orochimaru, and he would never agree to that.

He would rather gamble that the fragments from his self-destruction wouldn't be completely devoured by Orochimaru's undead creatures than agree to Orochimaru's request.

Feigned submission?

He himself possessed the ability to control ordinary demons, and he was worried that Orochimaru would use the same methods against him.

"You, who can't even overcome death, are unwilling to be my subordinate?"

Orochimaru was surprised, not expecting Muzan Kibutsuji to be so wary. He laughed and said, "In that case, buy the life you cherish from me."

"500,000 reward points."

It's no wonder that a cowardly soul could have such a strong will to live was chosen by a game merchant.

Indeed, no player should be underestimated.

"I can't get it out."

Muzan Kibutsuji looked troubled.

Upon hearing that Orochimaru was willing to spare him, a desire to survive ignited in his eyes, but upon hearing about the astronomical sum of money offered to buy his life, his vision blurred.

He has figured out the exchange rate between Demon Slayer assets and reward points.

Although it has survived for thousands of years, it has devoted itself entirely to finding the blue spider lily.

Furthermore, once he becomes the Ghost King, he doesn't need to eat or drink, and he doesn't need to accumulate useless assets. Whenever he wants, he can simply turn a wealthy person into a ghost.

So even if he redeemed all his current assets, he would only get a maximum of 100,000 reward points.

The Demon Slayer Corps' leader, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, is a wealthy and secretive organization that doesn't expose itself to ordinary people.

"It's okay, we can sign a contract."

Orochimaru pulled out a parchment scroll.

[First-Tier Contract Scroll]: Once a contract is established, its contents will be enforced until the contract ends.

This is a rule-based item dropped by a leader-level monster.

When players team up to hunt monsters, they usually sign contracts to avoid disputes, or clan members hire individual players for help.

This is the first time that Orochimaru has used a situation like signing an unequal contract with a scumbag boss.

after all,

Ordinary players won't be threatened. Even if their life is locked on cooldown after death, they'll at most lose some skills, equipment, and experience points.

But Muzan Kibutsuji is different.

He was able to rule the night in the Demon Slayer world because of his demonized body.

Once he dies and falls, it's questionable whether he can continue to live.

of course,

You can also gamble on Muzan Kibutsuji; upon death, he only drops a Blood Demon Art or something that the game can classify as equipment or a skill.

But is he willing to take the gamble?

dare not.

He was shrouded in the shadow of death even before he was born, which made him completely afraid to take any risks, even if the probability of death was not certain.

finally,

Muzan Kibutsuji chose to sign the contract, which requires him to repay tens of thousands of reward points every month.

The slight feeling of goodwill I had towards my fellow human beings vanished completely.

He knew very well how valuable the reward points were, and stared coldly at Orochimaru, saying, "Can I leave now?"

You must go to the nearest town to buy a Life Lock.

When the life lock cools down, he won't leave the town even if the sky falls.

When Orochimaru threatened him again,

Kibutsuji Muzan secretly studied the game's features and discovered that spending 500 reward points would allow him to unlock the game map for a limited time.

He has found a town designated as a safe zone [Elven Line].

Damn half-day dog!

"Can."

Seeing the black text indicating the successful contract appear before him, Orochimaru stuck out his tongue with satisfaction and licked his lips.

at this time,

Muzan Kibutsuji suddenly felt hot, and his exposed skin began to burn.

The intense burning and pain made him involuntarily raise his head.

Look towards the source of the heat.

Orochimaru!

Naruto Uzumaki, his body engulfed in holy flames, shone like a torch as he descended from the sky, wielding a giant golden sword.

Orochimaru twisted his body.

Tough snakeskin emerged from his arms, covered with dense necromancy runes.

They crossed to block the falling greatsword.

bump.

The ground is sunken.

With Orochimaru at the center, the ground beneath his feet shattered, sending dust and rocks flying everywhere.

Muzan Kibutsuji was not affected, but merely feeling the heat of the golden flames burning on the greatsword caused his skin to curl up like fish meat.

"Are all the players in this other world monsters? Even the Breath of the Sun can't achieve this level of burning sensation."

Taking advantage of the ground collapse,

Kibutsuji Muzan exploded like a balloon, his flesh and blood turning into countless fragments that flew in all directions.

"Now that we've signed the contract, we're allies. Please help me, Mr. Ghost King."

Hearing Orochimaru's chilling voice from behind,

Even the fragmented pieces of Muzan Kibutsuji's flesh trembled uncontrollably, causing him to flee even faster.

but,

The undead army summoned by Orochimaru was extremely sensitive to Muzan's remaining flesh containing dark energy, and devoured it all.

The undead that consumed Muzan's flesh and blood all went berserk and mutated.

To Naruto's astonishment, it twisted and merged into a giant meat shield that resembled Muzan.

"What the hell is this thing?"

Naruto's holy flames gradually died out after coming into contact with the giant infant formed from the undead creature.

A massive shield imbued with intense dark energy withstood the onslaught of the Temple Knights.

"There is no absolute restraint; even holy light can be swallowed by extreme darkness."

Orochimaru, his tongue flicking out, stared greedily at Naruto Uzumaki and said, "I look forward to the day I turn you into a fallen temple knight, Naruto Uzumaki."

He now,

I no longer crave the Sharingan. That kind of low-level curse chakra has serious side effects. Even the ability awakened by the Mangekyou Sharingan only barely reaches the peak of the first tier.

For him now, the precious bodies of players like Tsunade and Naruto Uzumaki are what he truly desires.

"You're dreaming!"

Naruto Uzumaki, recalling the destroyed village, roared as his dim holy flames burned wildly, "I absolutely cannot stand by and watch an evil bastard like you continue to wreak havoc on the ninja world and start a war!"

His original intention and dream have never changed.

Then become a hero recognized by everyone, the Hokage, and a hero.

If it were someone else,

He might still hold back and offer persuasion, even resorting to talk-no-jutsu, but an evil person like Orochimaru should not be forgiven or pardoned.

"Naruto, is Konoha all sunshine and rainbows? Didn't your respected Third Hokage destroy the village? You know very well whether the evidence I exposed was fabricated or not."

Orochimaru stretched out his arms.

A pitch-black coffin appeared, its door opened, and two undead swordsmen wielding purple short swords stepped out.

Countless undead and skeleton swordsmen surrounded Naruto Uzumaki.

"I will become Hokage!"

Surrounded by undead, Naruto Uzumaki's gaze remained firm, and the holy flames swirling around him did not waver in the slightest.

The powerful voice pierced through the sea of ​​the dead.

"Wherever leaves flutter, fire will burn, and the fire's shadow will illuminate the village."

"I will change everything!"

"No more innocent children will be sent to the battlefield. I am a leaf, and I am also a flame. If that's not enough, then burn me to ashes and illuminate every dark corner of the village!"
