Chapter 339 Akaza: I'll take you to kill the child demon
Human memory?

Akaza took a deep breath. That kind of weak life had nothing worth remembering.

As he was thinking this,
A figure suddenly flashed before my eyes.

"Mr. Komaji, really... that's enough, stop it now!"

There was a sound in my ears that I hadn't heard for a long time.

I clearly have no memory of this figure in my mind, but it feels strangely familiar. Could it be someone I know?

Akaza struggled desperately, trying to break free from the bondage of the Demon Locking Formation.

The chains rattled,
It was actually shaken by him, and there was a slight cracking sound.

"What an amazing willpower! No wonder he can become the Upper Crescent Demon Moon. Are all of them such terrifying guys?"

Yanzhu Xingming was muttering Buddhist words in a low voice, tears streaming from his eyes.
He raised the broad axe and meteor hammer made of the sun blade,

He took these two special-shaped solar weapons to Linus's blacksmith shop and reforged them using more precious materials.

Infuse stronger fire energy.

Since the other party continues to resist, I can only end his life.

"Wait a moment, Mr. Xingming."

Tanjiro suddenly stopped in front of the demon-locking formation and looked at Akaza with a strange look.
Obviously, he is a ghost who has abandoned his emotions.
But he could smell sadness and pain from the other person's broken body.

It did not come from Akaza, but was several soul halos that were entangled around Akaza, always trying to save him.

Demon World is very special.

The man-eating ghost created by Muzan Kibutsuji should not be called a ghost. It is more like a monster with deformed flesh and blood.

The real ghosts are the souls of some people who died with obsessions and were reluctant to leave for a long time.

When Tanjiro was training, he once saw the soul of [Sakunobi].
And with the help of the other party, he successfully cut the huge rock.

"Is this pity or indulgence of the weak? How ugly!"

Akaza saw Tanjiro's appearance.
A feeling of anger suddenly welled up in my heart, as if that face had appeared long ago.

who is it?

"Komaji, that's enough!"

The sound appeared in my ears again.

Damn, who is it?
Akaza's cracked eyes widened, but he could not see the owner of the voice.

Until…his eyes fell on the circular tattoos on his arms.

These are the tattoos that appeared all over his body after he turned into a ghost. He had never noticed them before, but now they are particularly eye-catching.

"A criminal's...tattoo?"

A mottled picture flooded into my mind.
Those are Akaza's memories from his human days.

In order to buy medicine for his seriously ill father, he did all kinds of hard labor, but the income was ridiculously meager. He could only steal and rob, trying every means to keep his father alive. This tattoo is the mark left after being caught.

But my father died in the end...

I failed to protect the other person.

"I'm sorry, Komaji, if I wasn't holding you back, you should be able to walk a respectable path, right?"

The voice sounded again,

This time, Akaza, who had regained his memory, saw clearly the thin man who appeared in front of him.

Akaza's eyes widened. Although he had turned into a ghost, he felt like crying. He murmured, "Father..."

Then he was angry. He growled, "Why should I be a burden? Don't poor people have the right to live? This world... That's why I have to become stronger, stronger than everyone else!"

In the center of the Ghost Locking Formation,

Akaza had clearly lost consciousness and was in a confused state, but his aura continued to rise.

"What a terrifying ghost! He is still growing even in the desperate situation of being on the verge of death!"

"Tanjiro, get out of the way. I can't let him get stronger. Otherwise..."

The Flame Pillar looked serious as he looked at Akaza who was getting stronger and stronger.

He is different from Tanjiro and the Rock Pillar, he is just a mortal and has not become a player of the reincarnation game, so he can feel the sense of danger that demons emit to humans from Akaza.

"hold on……"

Tanjiro took a deep breath and said, "Master Gyoumei and I can kill him directly. The sun will soon rise. He will not be able to escape no matter what."

"So... Brother Kyojuro, give him another chance!"

The Flame Pillar did not speak.

He just assumed the starting stance of the sword technique using breathing techniques, ready to strike at any moment.

"Komaji-kun, are you still so stubborn?"

A smiling face filled Akaza's sight. Although he felt unfamiliar, he called out instinctively, "Master Qingzang?"

Keizo, wearing a white martial arts uniform and with a stubble on his face, gently rubbed Akaza's head, just like when he saved Komaji.

"Really, I've always wanted you to hear my voice, but Master is so useless that he only appeared in front of you now..."

Akaza took a deep breath, looked up and said, "No, that's not it!"

Qingzang's soul smiled helplessly and said, "No matter what, you are my family, so since I can't take you to heaven, I will go to hell with you to atone for your sins... Komaji boy."

"How can you do this?!"

The voice of the soul sounded,
When Akaza learned that Keizo, who had always been very gentle and kind, was unable to go to heaven because he wanted to redeem himself,
Outbreak completely!

"Why can those rich people who have committed many evil things go to heaven?"

"Those villains who poisoned people can live comfortably?"

"They are clearly a bunch of weaklings who are not even as good as mice. Even the aura they exude is disgusting..."

Boom.

The Ghost Locking Formation began to tremble, and the Inosuke in the center began to grow fangs and its body swelled, as if it was about to undergo some kind of evolution.

However, compared with Nezuko's benign mutation,
Akaza's mutation, driven by hatred, has led him to become darker and more corrupt.

"We can't wait any longer...we must kill him!"

The blade of the Flame Pillar burned with scorching flames as it rushed towards Akaza in the center of the Demon Locking Formation, about to chop off his head.

Tanjiro didn't stop him, he was just slightly disappointed.

The rock pillar also swung his broad axe and smashed it towards Akaza.

"Mr. Komaji."

Finally, a girl's soul appeared with her hair tied up and wearing a cherry pink robe.

She pulled Akaza into her arms and whispered, "Thank you, you've done enough. You don't need to continue."

Akaza's eyes suddenly widened, tears streaming down his cheeks.
He recognized the soul in front of him clearly. It was the girl he loved. How could she not be able to go to heaven?
"Lian Xue, I'm sorry, it's all my fault that I failed to protect you!"

At this moment, Akaza apologized like a child at the top of his lungs.

"It's okay. I'm really glad you remembered me. Mr. Komaji, let's go to hell together."

The girl spoke in a relaxed tone, showing that she didn't care about going to hell at all.

But... the pure Lian Xue is not like herself. After becoming a ghost, she ate people everywhere. She should have gone to heaven, but it was all because of me!
"Feel sorry."

Akaza's face was serious. He stood up and said, "Koiyuki, can you wait for me a little longer? I want to kill Muzan Kibutsuji. Maybe this will reduce my sins."

For his own sake, the souls of Lian Xue and others were unable to go directly to heaven, but stayed with him.

It is equivalent to being bound to Akaza's soul, and if you go to hell after death, your sins will be shared.

Therefore,
He wanted to atone for his sins and give Lianxue and Master Qingzang a chance to go to heaven.

……

boom.

The head was smashed.
Akaza lost his head, and two seconds later, he frantically grew a new head again.

"It's really difficult. He has already overcome the problem of beheading. Then we can only completely destroy his body!"

Rock Pillar Xingming shook his head sadly.
I feel pity for creatures like ghosts.

Just as he was about to attack again, he saw Akaza no longer struggling, and said calmly: "I am willing to help you kill Muzan Kibutsuji."

He glanced at Tanjiro and said, "I have killed many people, so I don't desire redemption. Just treat it as atonement..."

After killing Muzan Kibutsuji and paying for his sins, he will go to hell with Koiyuki.

"To the east, there is a cult of Eternal Bliss. It is the territory of Upper Rank Child Demon. I will take you there and kill him together!"

Akaza picked up the pill that Tanjiro threw to him and put it into his mouth.
A large cloud of black smoke escaped from his body, until finally, Komaji, who had turned into a human, said, "Do you have brass knuckles? I'm good at fighting with my fists."

"I'm sorry, but there has never been a fist pillar in the history of the Demon Slayer Corps, so there is no weapon suitable for you."

Tanjiro smiled and said, "However, I will help you go to Uncle Linus's blacksmith shop and make a pair of Sun Wheel Brass Knuckles."

Knowing the hiding place of Upper String Boy Demon,

The Flame Pillar reported the situation to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, and the Crow flapped its wings and quickly passed the news back to the headquarters.

Several swordsmen came to support and tried to cut off Muzan Kibutsuji's wings in one go.

"Child demon!"

Shinobu Kocho, who was usually gentle, showed an angry look, with veins bulging on her forehead.

All the poisons in the Butterfly House were put into containers and rushed towards the direction of the Eternal Paradise Sect.
