However, if one's prayer points cannot guarantee the continuous drawing of stronger and more extravagant dolls or items, it is easy for a growth gap to appear later on.

Therefore, the right approach is to seize every opportunity to profit, take a steady and consistent approach, and repeatedly harvest the "leeks" (victims).

"Muzan Kibutsuji is short-tempered and cruel. After becoming a demon, he became even more uncontrollable, considering himself a superior being and viewing humans as food."

"But at the same time, he had a morbid obsession with immortality, was extremely timid, afraid of death, and was very averse to people saying that he looked seriously ill or that he was about to die. In order to live forever, he was always looking for a way to overcome the ghost's fear of sunlight."

"Finally, he found a herb called 'Blue Spider Lily' in the notes of his doctor that could solve the problem, but this herb was not recorded in the world, and only the doctor knew where it grew or how to cultivate it. In order to find the Blue Spider Lily, Muzan used his own blood to create a large number of demons to search for it for him."

"This process has continued to this day. Countless people have been turned into ghosts by him, and countless people have been eaten by ghosts. Even now, it has not stopped!"

[Ding! You have gained 500 Wish Points!]

[Ding! You have gained 2000 Wish Points!]

After listening to Tamayo's explanation, Tony and Happy's emotions were in turmoil and they couldn't calm down for a long time.

A demon king who has lived for a thousand years, a demon clan that eats people, a blue spider lily that overcomes its fear of sunlight... everything Tamayo tells is like a fantasy story, making it hard to believe.

But with Tamayo, the "demon," right before their eyes, they had no choice but to believe.

But Tony wasn't so easily fooled; he noticed several problems in Tamayo's words.

Chapter 30 Demon Slayer Corps

"Wait a moment……"

Tony pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and said, "You said earlier that you didn't know what the medicine that could turn people into demons was, which means you were also a demon turned by Muzan?"

"That's right!"

"Then why are you going to deal with Muzan again?"

After saying that, as if afraid that Tamayo wouldn't understand, he immediately added, "What I mean is, can't Muzan control the demons he creates?"

This is what Tony is wondering about.

Muzan created a large number of demons in order to find the Blue Spider Lily, but if the demons he created were out of control, how could he be sure that they would obey his orders to find the thing?

Therefore, the ghosts he creates must be under his control, and even his will cannot defy them.

Otherwise, there will definitely be many who outwardly submit but inwardly defy, and even if a ghost finds the blue spider lily, it might be consumed without permission.

But if even one's will is subject to control, then how is Tamayo able to find someone to deal with Muzan?

Furthermore, if demons are controlled by the demons who created them, then after being transformed into a demon by Tamayo, will I also be controlled by her?

"It's not something that's hard to talk about..."

Although Tony didn't elaborate on his doubts, Tamayo and Gu Qing were both intelligent and knew what he was really asking. So they explained, "It's all thanks to that man, but to talk about that man, we have to mention the Demon Slayer Corps!"

[Ding! You have gained 20 Wish Points!]

[Ding! You have gained 100 Wish Points!]

"Demon Slayer Corps?"

Tony and Happy exchanged a glance, both confirming from each other's eyes that they had never heard of the word before, before turning back to Tamayo. "What's that?"

"Ghosts feed on humans, seriously threatening human survival. Therefore, it is only natural that human organizations that hunt ghosts would emerge. Humans have never been creatures that sit idly by and wait to die."

I agree with that.

Tony has a basis for saying this.

He was kidnapped by terrorists in the Middle East a few months ago... At that time, he was in the enemy's stronghold, without weapons or outside help, with only Ethan to help him.

Even so, he did not give up the fight.

Because although the situation was close to despair for him, it was not truly hopeless.

It was this important personal experience that made him believe that people will not give up as long as there is a glimmer of hope.

"So, this Demon Slayer Corps is a human organization that specifically hunts demons?" Happy asked immediately afterward.

"That's right!"

Tamayo nodded and said, "The Demon Slayer Corps initially arose because demons were causing havoc everywhere. A group of relatives who had been harmed by demons spontaneously formed a demon-hunting team. Later, with the sponsorship of the prestigious 'Ubuyashiki' family, it became a demon-hunting organization with the goal of eliminating 'Demon King Muzan.'"

"Looks like the rich people of that era were pretty good!" Tony couldn't help but remark.

The wealthy in this era are mostly capitalists, and capitalists are all black-hearted. They would rather burn their money like firewood for warmth than support people in impoverished areas, let alone fund an organization like Ubuyashiki to serve all of humanity.

"Not bad..."

Tamayo seemed to have thought of something, and a slight smile appeared on her face. "The successive heads of the Ubuyashiki family have indeed been quite good, but their formation of the Demon Slayer Corps wasn't as noble as you think, although their actions could certainly be described as 'noble'."

"Could they be after the power of ghosts or immortality?" Happy imagined, connecting it to the plot of a light novel.

"That's not how it works."

Tamayo gently shook her head in denial, but didn't elaborate further. Instead, she returned to the topic and continued explaining the Demon Slayer Corps, "Although with the support of the Ubuyashiki clan, everyone has ample logistics and excellent equipment, and powerful swordsmen and samurai to teach everyone martial arts, in the end, everyone is just an ordinary person. Let alone hunting Demon Kings, they can hardly pose a threat even to ordinary demons."

Tony and Happy couldn't help but nod in agreement.

If every demon possessed the regenerative abilities that Tamayo displayed, the ancient people, who could only rely on cold weapons, would have no chance of winning, not to mention that demons also possessed superhuman strength.

"Although everyone never gave up, the results were minimal, until four hundred years ago, when that great man appeared..."

"That sir?"

“His name is Yoriichi Tsugikuni!” Tamayo said. “He was born with superhuman physical strength, able to see worlds invisible to others, and he even created a breathing technique called ‘Sun Breathing,’ which greatly amplifies human mobility.”

[Ding! You have gained 30 Wish Points!]

"Sun Breathing?"

Tony was stunned for a moment, then looked at Gu Qing.

If I heard correctly, when this guy used those weird moves in the restaurant, he was chanting "Sun Breathing," right?

Could it be?

"Don't look at me, my name isn't Yoriichi Tsugikuni."

Gu Qing knew immediately what Tony was thinking and interrupted his wild thoughts, explaining, "I have no connection with Yoriichi Tsugikuni or the Demon Slayer Corps. There is another reason why I can use the Sun Breathing technique."

"I never said there was a relationship between you two."

Tony replied irritably, then looked back at Tamayo, waiting for her to continue.

But he already guessed that Yoriichi Tsugikuni must be related to the Demon Slayer Corps.

It wasn't just because of Tamayo's explanation, but also because Gu Qing had just mentioned the Breath of the Sun along with Yoriichi Tsugikuni and the Demon Slayer Corps.

Tamayo nodded and continued, "Yoriichi's wife and unborn child were killed by demons, which led him to begin hunting demons. In the process, he learned about and joined the Demon Slayer Corps. He discovered that the members of the Demon Slayer Corps were just ordinary people, so he unreservedly passed on all his skills to them."

However, only a very few people could learn the Sun Breathing technique, and even those who did couldn't unleash its full power. Therefore, different breathing techniques were created based on everyone's strengths, propelling the Demon Slayer Corps to its peak and giving them the means to fight demons.

[Ding! You have gained 100 Wish Points!]

What an amazing and great person he was!

He's just like the chosen one of the world in a novel!

It's so arrogant!

Happy was filled with excitement and longing.

But Tony felt nothing.

With his hands clasped behind his back and a bored expression, he impatiently pressed on, "I already know exactly how awesome Yoriichi Tsugikuni is, but what does he have to do with my question?"

Tamayo smiled, unperturbed by his rude attitude, and slowly said, "I've said all this simply to let you understand the power of 'Yoriichi Tsugikuni,' so that we can prepare for what's to come."

"Yes, I understand. You can speak now."

"After Yoriichi joined the Demon Slayer Corps, countless people finally met..."

Chapter Thirty-One: Refusal

“I was chosen by Muzan because of my medical skills and was taken in as his attendant, so I was fortunate enough to be there that day…” Tamayo said, her eyes filled with reminiscence, as if her mind had returned to that time. “I will never forget that day. The person I called despair in my heart, the one I thought I could never avenge, was easily killed with a single slash after encountering Yoriichi Tsugikuni!”

Even Muzan Kibutsuji was stunned.

His speed, strength, and reflexes, which surpassed those of ordinary people and even those of the Demon Slayer Corps who had mastered the Breathing Technique to the extreme, were like those of an infant in front of Yoriichi Tsugikuni; his proud self-healing ability could not heal for a long time under Yoriichi Tsugikuni's red blade!

If Yoriichi Tsugikuni hadn't been so determined to question Muzan, that terrible demon would have been finished back then.

But it was precisely Yoriichi's questioning that gave Muzan the opportunity to escape.

Taking advantage of Yoriichi Tsugikuni's distraction, he split his body into more than 1,800 pieces by self-destruction, and escaped in different directions.

Despite Yoriichi's best efforts, he only managed to kill a little over 1,500 pieces of flesh, with the remaining 300 or so escaping.

Muzan, using his remaining flesh, secretly regenerated and dared not show himself until Yoriichi Tsugikuni died. Meanwhile, during Muzan's recovery from this severe injury, I successfully developed a drug to break free from his control.

[Ding! You have gained 300 Wish Points!]

[Ding! You have gained 3000 Wish Points!]

Happy has fallen into a daze.

Tony also slightly opened his mouth.

Although he learned from Tamayo from the beginning that "demons" possess superhuman strength and life, apart from witnessing Tamayo's healing abilities, he didn't know much about the superhuman strength of demons.

Although I know it's very strong, I don't have a concrete concept of it.

Therefore, he didn't have much of an opinion about "demons" or the "Demon Slayer Corps" that hunts demons at first.

Because he is Iron Man.

It's just that it's beyond the level of ordinary people, but in his eyes it's nothing special, and it won't cause much of a reaction.

It wasn't until I heard that Yoriichi Tsugikuni was the founder of Sun Breathing and that later scholars were unable to unleash his power that I had a vague concept of it.

Because he had just witnessed Gu Qing use the Breath of the Sun not long ago, and with just one move, he demonstrated speed that surpassed human visual perception and power like a large hand grenade.

However, this power is still far from comparable to that of Yoriichi Tsugikuni...
