"!"
Originally still hammering the weapon, Toshu suddenly felt a burst of anger and chill.
That was the consternation and fear coming from Muzan.
"How is it possible... One was actually killed?"
The joy just harvested was swept away; Muzan's mood was terrible.
That was the strongest fighter he got from Naraku. In terms of hard power, it was a Youkai Demon completely on a different level from previous Upper Moons.
But he didn't expect it to die in less than this amount of time.
"No... it is still night now. With One's regeneration ability, he shouldn't be unable to even run away. Who exactly is it?!"
Still unable to suppress the panic in his heart, Muzan really couldn't calm down.
How high-spirited he was when he first came to this world. He thought about laying a foundation here, developing forces, and finally winning the victory, returning to the original world to let those Demon Slayers see his posture of overcoming sunlight.
Imagining the despairing appearance of those guys, it must be very wonderful.
It was a pity that... Reality and his conception were completely not on the same track.
Here, apart from getting beaten, it was just running away... The strongest fighter finally transformed didn't live for two days before dying.
It seemed that immortality wasn't as useful in this place as imagined.
"No way, must use this guy Naraku just sent over. I have to act cautiously... Tch!"
Looking at the body carried over by a swarm of poisonous insects before, Muzan could only recreate limbs.
He had realized that the strength he was proud of seemed not very reliable in this world.
Then the only thing he could do was to cooperate with Naraku to create a large number of usable Youkai Demons.
Only with Naraku could he have the chance to win until the end.
Otherwise, just passing by somewhere, he might be killed by an unnamed powerful Monk, Miko, or Youkai.
That would really be too unjust...
...
"That guy actually killed Hakudoshi so easily. Kanna, is that the so-called Servant?"
Asking the little girl holding a mirror beside her, Kagura was moved.
That kind of strength... maybe could kill Naraku.
Even Hakudoshi, who possessed the same immortal body as Naraku, was poisoned to death, so Naraku definitely couldn't be immune either.
'No... unless Naraku is restricted in action, otherwise he will definitely cut off the affected part before the Cursed Poison takes effect.'
But immediately, that slight joy that emerged dissipated.
She understood Naraku well; that wasn't a cunning guy Hakudoshi, this reckless youth, could compare with.
"Kagura, our mission is to test out the abilities and power of the Servants on Inuyasha and Sesshomaru's side. If necessary, snatch the Dragon Ball and Shikon Jewel together."
A voice without self issued; Kanna's lightless eyes stared at Kagura and reminded her.
"Che! Want us to be cannon fodder?"
Clearly being one of the incarnations too, saying she was a daughter wasn't excessive. But Naraku didn't have the slightest mercy for their behavior.
But even knowing it would be like this, Kagura and Kanna didn't have the mind to resist.
Kagura was because her heart was controlled by Naraku and couldn't resist.
Kanna didn't have too many emotions and self, only unconditionally obeying Naraku's instructions.
"But I don't want to die under that weird Cursed Poison. If I have to die, I'd better choose Inuyasha and the others."
Glancing at a certain direction, Kagura knew Sesshomaru wasn't here.
Perhaps out of not wanting to face him and make a move on that little girl named Rin, she simply chose that group of naive guys as opponents.
Feathers were flying, driving towards a certain direction.
"Mn... Sure enough, not honest. Isn't it easy to obediently snatch that girl's Dragon Ball at this time?"
Byakuya's figure emerged from the air. Having hidden here for a long time, witnessing Kagura's behavior, he didn't quite understand the other party's thinking.
"! Oops, it seems it's not a simple thing to do."
Faintly sensing a gaze, Byakuya glanced down and had a headache.
'Discovered even from such a distance... really a tricky Servant. Didn't Naraku say Assassins are very weak in frontal combat?'
The strengthened Hakudoshi was killed solo so easily; Byakuya doubted for a moment whether the words Naraku said were a joke.
'This killing intent and perception are extraordinary.'
...
"Speed is still as fast as before, Koga. But now that I am standing in front of your eyes, why don't you dare to approach me?"
Naraku floated in the low air, looking down at the furious Koga on the ground and said calmly.
"Master, this guy is too evil. Let me use my Noble Phantasm."
Not having the mind to tangle with this kind of disgusting guy, Cu Chulainn suggested.
"The ultimate move capable of piercing the heart? That is indeed a unique skill that makes even me tremble with fear."
Hearing the words of the opponent's Servant, Naraku didn't have any panic.
Absorbing The Infant back before was specifically to guard against Lancer's Noble Phantasm.
Leaving the heart outside, the danger was still too great, so Naraku simply absorbed it back.
Anyway, with his structure, any organ was superfluous. As long as he wasn't completely eliminated, mere heart being pierced was harmless.
"Don't panic, this guy isn't that simple to kill."
But Koga stopped Cu Chulainn's action; he knew what Cu Chulainn wanted to say.
In order to think of defeating the enemy with an immortal body, Cu Chulainn had specially asked Koga if he had any good suggestions. And Koga let him speak out the abilities and moves he possessed to consider.
Therefore, Koga knew that Lancer could use two different offensive Noble Phantasms.
One was the demonic spear [Gae Bolg - Piercing Death Thorn Spear] specifically targeting the heart with causality reversal.
The other was the carpet bombing [Gae Bolg - Soaring Spear that Strikes with Death].
The former was single-target, the latter was large-range AOE sweeping.
But just blasting Naraku into powder was meaningless; this guy could recover rapidly as long as a piece of shredded meat remained in the air.
"Hmph!"
Seeing the other party hesitating to act, Naraku didn't indulge him. After all, now wasn't the time to waste playing around.
Several tentacles emerged from the body attacking forward.
"This kind of attack can't hit me!"
Retreating to avoid it together with Cu Chulainn, Koga made a disdainful sound.
"Is that so? You and your Servant might be able to avoid it, but... Those two burdens of the Wolf Demon Tribe can't."
Speaking pointedly, Naraku glanced at the followers hiding behind a stone not far away.
CRACK!!!
"Ah ah!!"
"Koga!!"
Turning his head abruptly to look, Koga found that the tentacles drilling out of the ground scraped the earth, causing it to start collapsing. Two clansmen were about to fall down the crack.
"Tch! Naraku, you bastard!!"
That deliberately separated distance made Koga very angry.
But Cu Chulainn had already rushed out a step ahead to grab one of them first.
Koga ran quickly towards the other person and leaped in the air to protect him.
"That's why I said, you guys can never win against me. Just because of obsession with that boring emotion."
'Shimatta!'
In the air, there was simply no place to leverage. Feeling his legs grabbed by Naraku's tentacles, Koga cried out in his heart.
CRACK!
Cu Chulainn threw the spear, cutting off the tentacles, but the purple gas emerging from inside aggravated the danger instead.
"This is... poison gas?"
"It's Miasma! Don't breathe!"
Surrounded by thick gas, there was simply no chance to catch a breath.
"Koga... From today on, you are out of the game."
The figure fell constantly, but Naraku didn't pay attention to the aftermath.
Because...
"Two Shikon Jewel fragments and the Dragon Ball... I'll be taking them!"
That fragment and bead rolled up by the tentacle and placed in front of him revealed Naraku's true purpose.
Attacking Koga's clansmen was just a bait. Guiding that guy to be unable to dodge in the air and snatching the fragment and Dragon Ball was simply a piece of cake.
At that moment, even a Servant couldn't help him escape danger.
"Losing everything for things like saving clansmen... Just regret it well in the rest of your life. Koga."
