Two anti-magic arrows were fired one after the other, but Muzan managed to block them by extending his arm.
"really."
"Platycodon grandiflorus."
"That servant's resistance to spiritual energy is still insufficient; if I attack together with you..."
Seeing the gaze Kagome cast at her, Kikyo understood what she meant from the words that followed.
"However, he won't give us such a big opening."
Although she and Kagome possess strong spiritual power, it is difficult to completely eliminate them if the opponent is on guard.
"So we need someone who can cripple him and create opportunities for us."
Kikyo's gaze swept across the field, finally settling on Sesshomaru.
Aside from Moroha, Sesshomaru, who has yet to make a move, probably has the best chance.
Even if the two Servants wielding demon swords created an opening, they would only be wasting their chance to attack if they couldn't wound Muzan.
Inuyasha's limitations make it difficult for him to seriously injure Muzan.
Moroha's attack of summoning "Grandpa" is too obvious and will arouse suspicion.
The easiest and most reassuring one is probably Sesshomaru.
Unfortunately, he currently lacks a sword capable of harnessing his demonic power to unleash his full potential.
The Servant's sword is unusable, and Moroha's sword isn't anything special either.
There is only one knife that is usable and can be used effectively.
Tessaiga.
Kagome clearly thought the same thing. Among them, aside from Akame and Rikuo's special characteristics, Sesshomaru was undoubtedly the most aggressive.
"Kikyo, could you please go and tell Inuyasha that I'm going to ask Sesshomaru for help?"
Watching the figure move, Kikyo put down her bow and walked straight behind Inuyasha.
"Hahoo!"
After jogging for a while, Kagome arrived at Sesshomaru's place. She took a breath and was about to speak when she was interrupted.
"Don't say things that are meaningless."
After taking a few steps forward, past Kagome, Sesshomaru spoke with his usual indifference.
"Then please!"
Although they didn't talk, Kagome understood Sesshomaru's attitude.
When the time comes, Sesshomaru will naturally make his move.
"Let's help too."
"While the attack might be useless, it can certainly attract attention."
"no problem"
Lu Sheng turned to look at Akame and then spoke, to which the latter nodded in agreement.
Individually, these people would hardly pose a threat to Muzan in his current state, but if they joined forces, it would be a different story.
"Tsk!!"
"understood!"
As soon as Kagome returned, she saw Inuyasha's somewhat reluctant expression.
"boom!!"
"That's really dangerous."
Moroha jumped back from the front, feeling terrible.
"Mom, I can't stand it anymore, I need to use that."
"that?"
"Use it."
Compared to Kagome's slightly puzzled expression, Kikyo readily agreed.
"Ooh!"
"I'm going to use Grandpa's power to smash him to pieces!!"
A surge of demonic power erupted, and a massive demonic shadow emerged from within his body.
"Hmph, watch me suck it dry!"
As the scales appeared, Muzan showed no fear whatsoever; in fact, he seemed rather impatient.
Chapter 123, Section 122: How can your tiny vessel contain our entire race?
"Oh!!"
Moroha roared, and the shadow of demonic power swung the huge sword down at Muzan.
"boom!!"
Muzan raised his hands upwards, transforming them into shields, and went to meet them.
"Boom!"
Upon contact, the powerful inertia caused his body to sink, and the fragmented ground caused his feet to sink into the earth.
"That was a powerful blow!! But this demonic power is mine!"
Unable to block it, the massive demonic blade slashed down along his neck and finally stopped at his stomach.
The power of the dragon scales was being unleashed, and Muzan began to frantically absorb that demonic power.
"Whoosh!"
"call out!"
But the figures attacking from both sides displeased Muzan.
"What a pointless obsession, just like those Demon Slayer Corps members."
"Knowing that you can't kill me, you still stubbornly chase after me."
"Human beings, no matter which world they live in, cannot change their inexplicable and inherent flaws."
Completely ignoring him, Muzan maintained his mutilated state, letting the two swords slash at his open wounds.
Clang.
It didn't budge; the knife seemed stuck inside, without causing even the slightest scratch.
Its hardness was probably the most troublesome defense that Rikuo and Akame had ever encountered.
(Is his internal body so robust?)
Even though he managed to cut into the gaping crevice, he still couldn't harm the opponent. Although Lu Sheng didn't have much magic power left, he never expected it to be this difficult.
Akame tried her best to push the blade, but it still had no effect.
She could kill her opponent with just a small wound.
But precisely because of this "small step," the goal has always been unattainable.
"whispering sound!"
"Keep it that way, Moroha."
Moroha was about to pull away as she watched the demonic power being continuously drained, but Kikyo's words made her continue.
Although I don't know what the mothers are trying to do, I'll just trust them.
"Ok?"
Muzan noticed the two priestesses drawing their bows together.
As a "monster," he lacks resistance to spiritual power, and therefore cannot be completely immune to the damage it brings.
The current situation is not suitable for setting up a barrier to defend against attacks.
If he fully absorbs this enormous demonic power before him, he will be able to ascend to another level.
How could he possibly let such an opportunity slip by?
A hard outer shell extended from the split chest, which Muzan attempted to use to reduce the power of the arrows.
"what!!"
But Muzan was caught off guard when Inuyasha rushed over with his bare hands, grabbed him, and pulled him away.
(Hmph, it's just a minor injury after all, nothing serious.)
Perhaps I will be hurt by those two arrows, but that is insignificant compared to what I want to gain.
