"Heal as good as new!"
Little Goku cast healing magic on the injured Demon Slayer Corps members, stabilizing their severely wounded bodies.
To maximize the puppets' strength, the demon disregarded whether attack movements violated body structure.
This resulted in many controlled Demon Slayer Corps members suffering extensive bone fractures and internal organ compression, sustaining severe injuries.
That's also why most of them lost consciousness.
Fortunately, they all practiced breathing techniques, making their bodies much stronger than ordinary people, which prevented them from dying instantly.
While Little Goku's healing magic couldn't completely cure them, it could stabilize their injuries.
As long as the injuries were stable, it wasn't a big problem.
Because Sanda had said that the Demon Slayer Corps also had a specialized medical team.
As long as they weren't dead, after ten days to half a month of recuperation, they would be good hunters again.
As for the lightly injured members, Little Goku's healing magic restored them to their original state immediately.
However, a few had already died, and Little Goku could do nothing for them.
"Goku, who exactly are you?"
Watching Little Goku cast healing magic to save people, Sanda couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
He now understood that Little Goku was definitely not just an ordinary person with a naturally special physique.
But it didn't matter; at least Little Goku was on their side, and as long as he wasn't a demon, he was a friend and could join the Demon Slayer Corps.
"How could this happen?"
In the distance, the female demon suddenly realized that her connection with the little spiders had been severed, and she could no longer observe what was happening ahead through them, nor control the spiders there to spin webs for her, leaving her stunned.
Just then, another little boy with white hair and white skin walked down the mountain, stepping on spider silk, and arrived above her:
"Mom, did you win?"
"Rui?"
The female demon's body immediately trembled when she saw the boy, her face filled with terror.
"Did it take too long? If you don't hurry, I'll go tell father."
The boy's face was expressionless.
Upon hearing this, the female demon was scared half to death and quickly replied:
"I... I can, Mom can protect you, don't tell father, please don't tell father!"
The boy looked at the female demon with cold eyes, silent for two seconds:
"Then hurry up."
After speaking, he turned and left.
Seeing the boy leave, the female demon took a few deep breaths, temporarily suppressing the fear in her heart, then manipulated the spider silk in her hand and roared:
"Die, all of you die, if you don't die, I'll suffer terribly..."
That boy just now was not her child, but Rui, one of the Twelve Kizuki, the strongest demons, specifically Lower Rank Five.
Rui liked to play house and cared deeply about family bonds.
He believed that parents must protect their children, and older siblings must protect younger siblings, even if it meant risking their lives.
So he captured some demons, granted them power, and made them play the roles of his parents and siblings.
Any demon who did not abide by his rules for playing house would be cruelly abused by him.
Some would even be hung directly on trees, to be burned to death by the Sun when it rose the next day.
She was currently playing Rui's mother, and if she couldn't deal with these invaders, she would face severe punishment.
Thus, she no longer cared about anything else and directly controlled more puppets to charge towards the disconnected area.
The puppets on the periphery just now were the weakest ones.
Deep in the forest, she had also captured many stronger puppets, as well as the most powerful Puppet King.
Now he wanted all these puppets to attack together, to eliminate all those demon hunters in one go.
Only then could she escape Rui's punishment.
At the same time, three lowest-ranked Mizunoto teenagers, following the crow's command, also arrived at the foot of the mountain.
One had a scar on his head and carried a box on his back.
Another was shirtless, displaying perfect muscle lines, and wore a boar's head mask.
And there was one who was trembling all over, looking very scared.
However, after entering the forest, they took another fork in the road and encountered another demon guarding that path.
This demon played Rui's older brother in the family, possessing a human head and a spider's body.
His Blood Demon Art was poison; those afflicted by his poison would turn into human-headed spiders like him and fall under his control.
"Movement!"
Little Goku had just finished treating all the injured when he suddenly turned his head to look deep into the forest ahead.
A dozen Demon Slayer Corps members, holding nichirin blades, emerged from the darkness.
Behind these dozen Demon Slayer Corps members was a headless demon, three meters tall and covered in muscles.
"Even Yoshikawa and the others have become puppets!"
Sanda looked at the dozen Demon Slayer Corps members, a horrified expression on his face.
"Could there be a Twelve Kizuki here?"
The Demon Slayer Corps members' strength is divided into eleven ranks; the highest is Hashira, followed by ten ranks: Kinoe, Kinoto, Hinoto, Hinoe, Tsuchinoto, Tsuchinoe, Kanoto, Kanoe, Mizunoto, and Mizunoe.
The members they had just rescued were all of the Kanoe, Mizunoto, and Mizunoe ranks.
The dozen members appearing now were at least Kanoto rank, like him, and the strongest even included experts of Tsuchinoto rank.
But so many experts had now become that demon's puppets.
Behind them was that giant headless puppet; the sheer oppressive presence just standing there made his body tremble slightly.
So he speculated that the demon controlling all of this was very likely one of the Twelve Kizuki.
"What is a Twelve Kizuki?"
Little Goku paid no attention to the newly appearing enemies; instead, he became interested in the Twelve Kizuki, which Sanda so greatly feared.
Sanda quickly explained:
"The first demon in the World is called Kibutsuji Muzan; he is the progenitor of demons and the most powerful demon.
Basically, most demons are transformed by Kibutsuji Muzan and are his servants.
Among these demons, the twelve most powerful are called the Twelve Kizuki.
The Twelve Kizuki are divided into Upper Ranks and Lower Ranks; only Hashira can pose a threat to them.
But to this day, Hashira have only managed to kill Lower Rank demons, and Hashira who encountered Upper Rank demons all died in the end."
"Kibutsuji Muzan, it seems he will be a good opponent!"
Little Goku decided that after sparring with the Hashira at the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, he would go look for Kibutsuji Muzan and the Twelve Kizuki.
The Twelve Kizuki's names weren't known, making them hard to find.
But since Kibutsuji Muzan had a name, it would be easier.
A trip back to Hogwarts to borrow a magic owl from Hagrid should allow him to find Kibutsuji Muzan's location.
Hagrid had said that messenger owls are born with tracking magic.
No matter where the person is, as long as they haven't cast a spell to block tracking magic on themselves, the owl can find them.
Even across a country.
By then, he just needed to follow the owl, and he should be able to find Kibutsuji Muzan.
Killing Kibutsuji Muzan would prevent new demons from being born in this World, which would be a good deed...
