Chapter 129 Perfect Creature

  [Day 4: You sit on a huge rock without any cover, gazing at the rising sun from the horizon, quietly waiting for death to come.

When the warm sunlight falls on you, you suddenly feel the pain of being burned by fire, and flames ignite on your body.

Just when you thought you could be free, your body that was burned by the sun began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.

You are surprised to find that you are immune to sunlight. Thinking about the fact that Nezuko and Tanjiro were also immune to sunlight after becoming demons in the original work, you probably guessed why you are immune to sunlight.

Perhaps it is just as the rumors say, the blue red spider lily that Muzan Kibutsuji has been searching for for thousands of years but has failed to find, is eaten as a pickle by Tanjiro's family.

Therefore, when you lost your mind and devoured the corpses of Tanjiro's family, you also absorbed the power of the blue red spider lily contained in their flesh and blood, and thus gained the ability to be immune to sunlight.

You couldn't die, you cried and laughed, and finally pointed to the sky with red eyes and swore that you would send Muzan Kibutsuji to hell with your own hands in this life...]

[Day 18: After more than half a month of research, you find that you seem to have really evolved into a perfect creature. Not only do you have super regenerative abilities, but you are not afraid of sunlight, do not need to eat humans, and can even taste a variety of delicacies like ordinary people.

During the time you were wandering around, you encountered several cannibals who were causing trouble for the local area. In the process of fighting with them, you also awakened the blood vampire magic.

Your blood ghost art is called "Demon Swallowing", which means that you can devour evil ghosts and then use them to strengthen yourself.

Because you know that Muzan Kibutsuji can see the scenes that other demons see before they die, so in order to avoid alerting him, every time you devour those cannibal demons, you disguise yourself as a member of the Demon Slayer Corps.

The Demon Slayer Corps is an organization that specializes in hunting down cannibalistic demons, and many cannibalistic demons die at their hands every year.

In addition, the cannibals you devoured were all low-level cannibals that were inferior to the lower-rank demons. Even if Muzan Kibutsuji saw their memories before they died, he probably wouldn't take it to heart. ]

[The third month: After devouring dozens of low-level ogre ghosts, you find that your strength has become much stronger, at least not weaker than the lower-level ogre ghosts.

You have decided to start hunting the Twelve Demon Moons. You know that you are not a match for the Upper Moon Demons yet, so you plan to start with the Lower Moon Demons first.

Based on the original plot, you know that the Lower Moon Five, who like to play house, are hiding in the Spider Mountain, so you rushed there.

When he first saw you, the Lower Moon Five thought that you were like other low-level ogres, being hunted by the Demon Slayer Corps and fleeing here in order to gain his protection.

Therefore, the Lower Five proposed a deal that if you become his brother, he would grant you greater power.

Faced with the childish behavior of the Lower Moon Five, you chose to pretend to agree, and then chose to launch a sneak attack when they were unprepared.

Your strength is not weaker than that of the Lower Five, and coupled with your unethical sneak attack from behind, the Lower Five quickly became the nutrients for your growth.

Since "Rui", one of the Lower Five, not only belongs to the Twelve Demon Moons, but is also deeply loved by Muzan Kibutsuji, his memories before death also attracted Muzan Kibutsuji's special attention after they were transmitted back.

Muzan Kibutsuji finally realized that you are not an ordinary ghost hunter, but a traitor who has escaped his control, and immediately issued a hunting order against you. ]

[Sixth month: Ever since Muzan Kibutsuji issued a kill order to the cannibals under his command, you have been hunted endlessly.

But you were not afraid of this, instead you felt very happy, who could refuse the prey that came to you?

In order to avoid alerting Muzan Kibutsuji, you deliberately suppressed most of your strength when you killed those pursuers.

According to the memories sent back by those pursuers before they died, your strength is about the same as that of the Lower Five, which made Muzan Kibutsuji think that you were able to kill the Lower Five purely by sneak attack.

Muzan Kibutsuji did not realize that you were getting stronger by devouring those cannibal demons. He just thought that you were very cunning and every time you sensed that an upper-rank demon was approaching, you would choose to escape in advance.

While you were being chased by the cannibal ghosts, you also met the members of the Demon Slayer Corps and saved several of them. ]

[Eighth Month: You unknowingly arrived at Sagiri Mountain and ran into Tanjiro who was training in the mountains.

Tanjiro recognized you the first time and couldn't help but yell at you, then he swung his knife at you.

The reason why Tanjiro hates you so much is that when he returned home after selling the charcoal, he found your smell mixed in with the blood stains left by his family.

Tanjiro feels that if he hadn't rescued you and brought you home, your family wouldn't have met with misfortune and Nezuko wouldn't have turned into a ghost, so he wants to grind you into ashes, or even commit suicide to apologize!

Facing Tanjiro's attack, you did not choose to fight back, but let him vent his resentment until he was exhausted and could no longer swing the sword in his hand.

Seeing that Tanjiro was too tired to move, you walked over to sit next to Tanjiro and told him what happened from beginning to end.

After learning that the culprit of this tragedy was actually Muzan Kibutsuji, and that you had once wanted to commit suicide after regaining your sanity, the kind-hearted Tanjiro still chose to forgive you.

Urokodaki Sakonji, who was hiding in the dark, also came out after figuring out the whole cause and effect of the incident.

In fact, Urokodaki Sakonji had already arrived. He was originally planning to rescue Tanjiro, but he found that you had no intention of fighting back, so he chose to stay put.

Combining what you just said, and the fact that more than two months ago, several members of the Demon Slayer Corps were rescued by you, and that he heard other cannibals calling you a traitor, Urokodaki Sakonji also believed that you were not lying.

Because you have evolved the ability to be immune to sunlight, if Muzan Kibutsuji knew about this, he would definitely devour you at all costs, so only one of you is destined to survive.

Moreover, the people of the Demon Slayer Corps don't want you to be devoured by Muzan Kibutsuji, because if that happens, no one will be able to destroy him.

Therefore, Urokodaki Sakonji decided to teach you the Water Breathing Technique so that you can gain even greater power, at least to enable you to protect yourself in front of Muzan Kibutsuji and not be easily devoured by him. ]
