Nen users starting from Highschool of the Dead

Chapter 85 Do you have the courage to side with the devil?

"Kibutsuji Muzan?"

Su Yan looked at the person in front of him who was bound by chains he had conjured with his telekinesis, and tried to ask.

"Who are you?"

The shadowy figure was startled, but instead of answering Su Yan's question, he asked a different one.

"No, you are not him."

Su Yan shook his head and said, "Although I have never seen Kimu Muzan, your aura is far too weak."

"You're so weak that I could easily crush you with just one finger."

"While I do look down on Muzan's strength, he shouldn't be as weak as you."

But that doesn't make sense.

According to the anime's setting, wasn't Nezuko Kamado turned into a demon by Muzan himself?

Otherwise, the protagonist Tanjiro wouldn't have been able to smell Muzan's scent and find him later.

Even when Muzan was so frightened that he ran away, he apologized twice to an ordinary person.

This episode is arguably the most polite one ever seen from Muzan, the Demon King.

"I'm weak? Then let me show you my strength!"

The shadowy figure ignored Su Yan's words and his muscles tensed up suddenly.

He suddenly exerted force with both arms, determined to break the chains binding him.

The shadowy figure roared, "A mere ordinary iron chain won't hold me! Open it!!"

Su Yan just watched him quietly.

One second, two seconds, three seconds —

Time passed slowly, but the shadowy figure was still unable to break free of the chains binding it.

Just like how Takeo Kamado couldn't break free from his strength earlier, he was powerless.

"How could that be?"

"The shadowy figure said in disbelief."

Although his power was not as great as that of the Twelve Demon Moons, it was just an ordinary iron chain.

How could I possibly not be able to break free?

It's very simple, although the iron chain is indeed a materialized ordinary iron chain.

But the psychic energy wrapped around it is real.

If any evil spirit came, it could break free.

Then Su Yan no longer needs to think about going to find Muzan.

Let's just go back to Greed Island, wash up, and go to sleep.

Su Yan coldly questioned, "Now tell me, why wasn't it Muzan who came?"

"You think I'd tell you? Dream on!"

Even at this moment, the shadowy figure remained defiant.

Su Yan slapped his forehead.

I made a foolish mistake myself.

After all, Muzan was so cowardly that he would run away in terror at the sight of Tanjiro.

Any evil spirit that utters his name will be immediately and remotely controlled to commit suicide by him.

Not to mention the demons who want to reveal Muzan's information.

Having figured this out, Su Yan conjured a magic needle in his hand and stabbed it into the forehead of the evil spirit in front of him.

At this point, it would be more appropriate to use an ability like the Undead Overture.

Soon, the evil spirit in front of him underwent a similar transformation to the evil spirit that Su Yan had encountered when he used the Undead Overture.

"What did you do to me?"

The shadowy figure exclaimed in fear.

Yes, it wasn't a surprise, but a feeling of dread.

Because he could clearly feel that the power within his body had become stronger, even far surpassing what it had been before.

Even so, he still couldn't break free from the chains binding him.

Furthermore, the feeling that he would die as soon as he uttered Muzan's name had also disappeared.

Unlike the brainless Sano from before, he was very clear about how powerful Lord Muzan was, and what would happen if this were discovered.

Not to mention that the guy in front of me won't let me go, even Lord Muzan won't let me go.

Snapped.

Su Yan did not answer, but simply snapped his fingers lightly, coldly watching as the eyes of the evil spirit in front of him were covered by white.

Only then did he speak, asking, "Now tell me, why wasn't it Muzan who came tonight!"

"I don't know," the demon said in a robotic, emotionless voice.

Su Yan realized her question was phrased incorrectly and asked again, "Then what is your purpose in coming here?"

The demon replied, "To find food to become stronger, and to give Muzan-sama's blood to others, creating more suitable beings of our kind."

"Muzan's demon blood?"

Su Yan was stunned for a moment.

Apart from a very few Upper Moon demons, Muzan actually granted other demons the ability to turn humans into demons.

Su Yan pressed further, "Why would Muzan give you something like this?"

"I have no idea."

The demon gave the same answer as before, but added, "After Muzan-sama gave me his demon blood, he said he was going to cause trouble for a woman named Tamayo, and then he left."

"???"

Su Yan was even more confused after hearing this.

Why is Tamayo being dragged into this?

I initially thought it was a butterfly effect caused by my own transmigration into this world.

But I haven't done anything besides going on blind dates, so no matter how much influence I have, it's impossible for me to have any impact on Miss Tamayo, right?

"Fine, let's release the demon blood from Muzan's body and put it into this bottle."

However, Su Yan didn't dwell on it too much; at least he had obtained one of his current goals: Muzan's Demon Blood.

You can try it first. If it works, go find Muzan and drain his blood.

If it doesn't work, then it depends on Muzan's luck.

Su Yan conjured a glass bottle and handed it to the evil spirit in front of him, then casually asked, "When did that happen?"

Five days ago.

The demon answered as it dripped Muzan's demon blood into the glass bottle.

"Five days ago?"

Isn't this the day I entered this world and went on a blind date with Kanroji Mitsuri?

Could it really be the butterfly effect?

What else did I do that day besides going on a blind date with Kanroji Mitsuri?

Su Yan glanced at the evil spirit in front of him, and suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him.

and many more.

Is it that prayer needle?

Five nights ago, he used his Nen Needle ability, the Requiem for the Dead, to seize control of a demon, which was sensed by Muzan on the other side.

As a result, the other party thought it was Tamayo who did it.

So he went to deal with Tamayo?

After all, for the past thousand years, Muzan has not even dared to let his twelve demon moons gather together.

They were terrified of being betrayed by the Twelve Demon Moons.

As for the ghosts under his command suddenly losing control, that is naturally even more intolerable.

Therefore, dealing with Tamayo became the highest priority.

But perhaps due to the inertia of history, Muzan chose to give the demon before him his own demon blood and let the demon take his place in the Kamado family.

He managed to save his life.

After realizing this, Su Yan couldn't help but feel speechless.

So, is the relationship really due to my own fault?

"Please, save my child."

At this moment, Kamado Aoi, who had fallen to the side, reached out to Su Yan in a weak plea for help.

Is she still alive?

Su Yan glanced at the kitchen sunflower branch and sensed the presence of the people on the ground.

They discovered that not only the kitchen mummy in front of them, but also the two children not far away were still breathing.

Their breathing was so faint that it gave the impression that they could die on the spot at any moment.

This left Su Yan feeling somewhat helpless.

Despite the various bizarre mechanisms of Nen abilities, their healing capabilities are pitifully limited.

In the world of Hunter x Hunter, there was a world-class tycoon who almost spent all his wealth to obtain a healing card from the Greed Island game in order to save his girlfriend who was suffering from a terminal illness.

As far as he knew, the only healing abilities he possessed were Machi's Nen Thread Stitching (a member of the Phantom Troupe), Neferpitou's Toy Repairer (one of the three Royal Guards of the Chimera Ant King), and Kurapika's Healing Thumb Chain.

Aside from Kurapika's chains, the other two's Nen abilities didn't offer much of a solution to the current situation.

This shows just how rare healing-type Nen abilities are.

Su Yan first glanced at the Muzan Demon Blood still in the glass bottle in the demon's hand, then turned to look at Kamado Aoi.

After thinking for a moment, he uttered a classic line spoken by Philip, the second male lead in Kamen Rider W.

"Madam, do you have the courage to side with the devil?"
