Boom! Boom! Boom!
Muzan couldn't dodge the barrage. He was swallowed by the golden sea of lightning, his body blasted into fragments. When the dust settled, the "Demon King" was a pathetic sight—his multiple brains and hearts were mostly destroyed, his spirit broken. Roy and Ryuu closed in.
"Cursed ants... I will never forgive you!" Muzan let out a final, desperate roar.
Bang!
Muzan's body suddenly exploded into a cloud of blood mist and over a thousand tiny fragments of flesh.
Roy sneered. He knew this wasn't suicide; it was Muzan's ultimate survival move. If even one fragment survived, his incredible regeneration would allow him to reform completely. In the original world, there was almost no way to stop this besides drugs, but they weren't from the Demon Slayer world.
"Luminous Wind!"
The moment Muzan split, Ryuu finished her chant.
Boom!!
The emerald orbs of light engulfed every fragment of Muzan Kibutsuji's flesh. As a light-attribute magic, it inflicted damage on the demons equivalent to direct sunlight. Muzan's smaller fragments disintegrated the moment the light touched them.
When a notification panel popped up in front of Roy confirming the subjugation, he knew that the Demon King—the monster who had reigned over this land for a thousand years and slaughtered countless innocents—was truly dead.
Demon Slayer Headquarters
Ubuyashiki Kagaya sat up abruptly on his deathbed. His family shared a bloodline with Muzan and had been cursed for generations, never living past the age of thirty. Now, the disease and the curse vanished instantly, leaving him completely restored as a normal man.
"Muzan Kibutsuji is dead!" Kagaya declared with absolute certainty. His ancient ancestor was finally gone.
The surrounding Hashira were stunned. "I do not know who did this, but let us offer our gratitude to that nameless hero," Kagaya said softly.
At the same time, demons across Japan turned to ash. Created by Muzan, their fates were tied to his. Throughout the country, the Demon Slayer Corps members embraced one another and wept. Their thousand years of sacrifice and persistence had finally found meaning.

Roy turned his attention to the loot. It seemed "Old Monsters" really did drop the best rewards. Back in the Parasyte world, Gotou had Level 4 strength but dropped nothing; Muzan, however, provided two major items.
Name: Demon King's Armor
Quality: Epic
Effect (Demon King's Rage): Consumes the user's blood to boost all stats. Each activation reduces durability by 10%.
Durability: 99%
Name: Demon King's Blood
Quality: Uncertain
Description: Upon consumption, transforms the body into a demon. Grants near-infinite cellular regeneration, limb regrowth, and a massive boost to Endurance.
Side Effects: Severe burning sensation in sunlight (prolonged exposure results in death); high probability of inheriting Muzan's cowardly and paranoid personality.
Roy's face darkened as he read the descriptions. Typical Muzan—everything he dropped came with a catch. The armor would make the wearer anemic, and the blood's side effects were atrocious. Muzan's fear of Yoriichi was literally etched into his DNA.
Only an idiot would drink this, Roy thought. He rolled his eyes, but then a mischievous idea struck him. It would be a perfect tool for tricking a "lucky" enemy...
He then clicked to open the Silver Chest.
[Silver Chest Opened: Obtained Equipment Fusion Device and Space Ring!]
Name: Space Ring
Quality: Epic
Description: Contains a storage space of 10 square meters (10m high). Can store objects, but not living beings.
Roy's eyes lit up. This was far better than Muzan's loot. A Space Ring was a game-changer! Until now, he had left items in his system until needed, but the system couldn't store new things he found in the world.
In the Dungeon, logistics were the biggest nightmare. Expeditions often failed simply because they ran out of water or food, or they were forced to leave behind precious materials because they couldn't carry them. With the ring, he could just throw everything inside.
He pulled out the ring—a plain-looking silver band. If its function were revealed, every adventurer in the world would go mad trying to steal it. He slipped it onto his left ring finger, felt the 10-cubic-meter void in his mind, and felt a surge of pure joy.
With his stats maxed, Roy didn't hesitate. He clicked [Level Up].
