Black Clover: The Son of Fire Dragon Igneel

Chapter 565: SFDI - 565

Although he had expected this situation to occur, it would be a lie to say that he wasn’t worried.

Drake looked up at the crescent moon hiding behind the dark clouds and couldn’t help but sigh.

He had done his best to prepare for the battle.

After the special training, everyone participating in the battle this time was much stronger than their peak states in the original plot.

Drake had originally been worried about the fact that everyone had some emotional knots that might affect their mentality during the battle.

But without Drake’s intervention, this problem was solved. And the one who solved all this was Tanjiro, that social bandit.

Things like having heart-to-heart talks with Giyu Tomioka, feeding Sanemi Shinazugawa ohagi, and spacing out with Muichiro Tokito were things that Tanjiro did without any burden.

Of course, not everyone bought into this. After Obanai Iguro saw Tanjiro chatting and laughing with Mitsuri Kanroji, he took his revenge in training quite seriously.

But it was also because of Tanjiro’s warm, sunshine-like personality that he helped the awkward few open their hearts. It could only be said that it was a special talent.

In short, everyone’s mind and body had reached their best state.

Drake had also equipped each of them with a full set of potions for detoxification, healing, and restoring physical strength.

Next, it was up to their own efforts!

.....

As expected, everyone who fell into the Infinity Castle was scattered.

Muzan hated Tamayo to the extreme, so he directly devoured her into his body.

The explosion had injured him quite seriously, and the medicine injected by Tamayo had caused his body to experience abnormalities.

Regenerating his body and breaking down the medicine consumed a lot of his physical strength, and now was the time when he needed nutrition the most.

Even though her body was being slowly devoured, Tamayo still had that happy expression on her face.

Devour! Devour! Her body was full of surprises that she had specially prepared for Muzan.

That’s right, being devoured by Muzan was also something that Tamayo had planned long ago. Because this way, she could better exert the effects of the medicine she had made.

Drake had actually discovered what Tamayo wanted to do long ago, but when he saw Tamayo’s eyes, he couldn’t say the words of dissuasion.

Unlike Kagaya Ubuyashiki, Tamayo had really been prepared to die for a long time.

Ever since she was deceived by Muzan and ate her husband and children, she had been gnawed at by remorse, and every day she lived was painful.

She also couldn’t forget that she had eaten innocent people, and had long been prepared to atone for her sins.

If it wasn’t for the fact that she still had to kill Muzan, she would have walked into the sunlight and killed herself long ago.

Now that she could drag Muzan to hell with her, this was also what she had hoped for.

After completely devouring Tamayo, Muzan’s body was distorted and formed a flesh cocoon, and began to use this method to heal himself.

The kasugai crows flew through the complex Infinity Castle, conveying messages to everyone.

People who were closer had already joined up and were heading towards their target.

Zenitsu was walking alone on the corridor. His ears twitched as if he had heard something, and he turned to walk to a room on the side.

Reaching out and pulling the door open, Zenitsu looked at his senior brother, who had already changed his appearance, and said, "As expected, you’re here!"

Kaigaku sneered and said, "Oh, the Demon Slayer Corps has really sent you trash here to die!"

Kaigaku’s humiliation didn’t cause any reaction from Zenitsu Agatsuma. He just asked, "Why?"

Kaigaku said indifferently, "What are you talking about? You’re making no sense."

Zenitsu’s eyes were full of anger, and he said loudly, "I’m asking you, why did you, who inherited Thunder Breathing, become a demon? Do you know what your transformation into a demon will make your grandfather face?"

Kaigaku curled his lips and said, "Tch, who cares about that blind old man! He actually made me and you trash co-inheritors of Thunder Breathing. What a joke!"

Zenitsu said in a cold voice, "You, have you completely lost the ability to distinguish between good and evil?"

Kaigaku laughed loudly and said, "Of course I can tell the difference! Those who can recognize my value and acknowledge my strength are good, and those who are blind and ignore my existence are evil!

That’s right, those guys in the Demon Slayer Corps, who had problems with their brains, actually chose you, a trash who was poorly dressed, looked weak and incompetent, and only knew one sword form, instead of the more excellent me. I can’t wait to kill them all with my own hands!"

"Enough!"

Zenitsu interrupted sharply and said, "I can’t listen anymore. You’re rotten through and through. In order to wash away the shame of the Thunder Breathing inheritor becoming a demon, and in order to let grandfather live, I will kill you!"

Kaigaku said mockingly, "Kill me, with just you? What are you dream...!"

Before Kaigaku could finish speaking, blood suddenly spurted out from his neck. Only then did he notice the yellow lightning that had flashed by his side.

"Did you betray grandfather and become a demon just for this? Your reaction is too slow, trash!"

Zenitsu exhaled a stream of white air, and the lightning patterns on his forehead gradually became clear.

Zenitsu Agatsuma’s personality had huge flaws, but putting that aside, Zenitsu’s talent was absolutely amazing. In terms of physical and swordsmanship talent alone, he was even above Tanjiro.

So after finding a real reason to fight, Zenitsu became stronger by leaps and bounds.

...

Shinobu Kocho, carrying Kanao and Inosuke, found Sanemi Shinazugawa, who was wandering around. The four of them advanced while slaying the demons that popped up.

But the terrain of the Infinity Castle was too complex, and the four of them wandered into a room.

A timid figure drilled out from the side. It was a demon with a lump on his head, who looked especially like a goblin in mythology.

"Eeeeeee...! Don’t hurt this old man who can’t see and is physically weak!"

Although he said so, the four of them all became wary, because even though his eyes didn’t have the same Upper Rank words as the other demons, everyone who knew his information had recognized his identity.

Upper Rank Four, Hantengu, was discovered, and a battle with the Insect Pillar, the Wind Pillar, and Kanao Inosuke began.

...

Kyojuro Rengoku, Giyu Tomioka, and Tengen Uzui were traversing the buildings.

Suddenly, the three of them stopped at the same time and retreated outwards at the same time.

With a bang, a figure fell from the sky, landing directly in the middle of the three. A pink-haired man with deep blue tattoos all over his body raised his face full of madness.

"You should all be pillars! I shouldn’t be wrong. That well-honed body and fighting spirit are proof of the strong! It’s really exciting!"

Upper Rank Three, Akaza, appeared, and his opponents were the Flame, Water, and Sound Pillars.

...

In a space lined with a large number of pillars, Gyomei Himejima’s tall body advanced quickly like a tank, with Tanjiro and Muichiro Tokito following closely behind him.

But the three of them were blocked by a figure.

A kimono with snake skin-like patterns, a high ponytail, flame patterns on his forehead and chin, and those terrifying six eyes all showed his identity.

Upper Rank One, the strongest demon other than the demon king Muzan, Kokushibo!

Kokushibo unscrupulously released his aura as a strong person, and just this aura alone could make pillar-level swordsmen lose their will to fight.

But unfortunately, after undergoing special training with Drake, this aura was just so-so for the three of them.

"Commendable, that you can be so calm when facing me!"

Kokushibo’s six eyes moved, looking at the three of them in turn.

Kokushibo was a swordsman who had long entered the realm of the supreme, and he could obtain a lot of information just by observing.

Kokushibo first saw Gyomei Himejima, who was in the lead. After seeing his muscles and bones at a glance, he couldn’t help but admire that it was a powerful body that had been honed a thousand times, worthy of his attention.

Then he looked at Muichiro Tokito, and his expression changed. Because he discovered the Tsugikuni bloodline flowing in Muichiro Tokito’s body.

How could Kokushibo, who had once had the name "Tsugikuni Yoriichi", not know that Muichiro Tokito was his descendant.

But he had abandoned his wife and children long ago, and had severed this boring emotion after becoming a demon.

So he had only taken one more look at Muichiro Tokito.

Finally, he looked at Tanjiro, and his gaze froze.

Those earrings, those marks, that familiar Sun Breathing!

The words seemed to ring in his ears again... "How pitiful, brother!"

Kokushibo only felt his stomach start to ache, and a feeling of wanting to vomit inexplicably arose.

"Why? Why can your Sun Breathing still be passed down? Why can you still leave such traces in this world? Yoriichi!"

The Stone Pillar, the Mist Pillar, and Tanjiro encountered Upper Rank One, and a battle was about to break out.

...

Obanai Iguro and Mitsuri Kanroji passed through layers of obstacles and saw Nakime, who was kneeling on a floating house with a biwa in her arms.

Flesh-like tissues like tree roots extended from behind her, plunging into the buildings behind her. She was controlling the entire Infinity Castle in this way of fusion.

The Serpent Pillar and the Love Pillar discovered the most important target, and were ready to act at any time.

And in the depths of the Infinity Castle, Muzan’s flesh cocoon pulsed.
