Moryomaru ran away...
After witnessing Cu Chulainn's astonishing strike, he fled without hesitation. That swift and decisive judgment left both Koga and Cu Chulainn dazed.
"Strange... Although I pierced his armor and damaged his vitals, this guy shouldn't have suffered a fatal injury. What exactly is he..."
Cu Chulainn didn't understand why the opponent ran. Against a youkai without a heart, that Noble Phantasm of his wouldn't be of use.
"Although I don't know what happened to that bastard, at least we repelled him. That move of yours is very strong."
Not dwelling on why Moryomaru ran, Koga looked at Cu Chulainn and praised him.
That strike capable of breaking through armor to strike the heart directly could make people feel a creeping sense of death. Among youkai, not everyone could continue living without a heart.
"Well, however, it seems I've come to an incredible place this time. If monsters like that are everywhere, it's a bit tricky."
Putting away his long spear, Cu Chulainn looked at the figure disappearing into the horizon and said in a deep voice.
If the Anti-Heart Noble Phantasm was useless, that meant he could only use the other move. But given the opponent's regenerative ability, if not completely annihilated, it was extremely likely just a waste of effort.
"Ignore that guy. I didn't sense the resonance of the Command Spells and Dragon Balls from him. Just an outsider, no need to care."
...
'Damn it! Why is there such a dangerous guy beside Koga?'
Hiding inside Moryomaru's body, The Infant recalled the strike he saw just now and felt a bit fearful.
You gotta be kidding; fortunately, the target was Moryomaru. If he were the target, it would really be a one-hit kill.
Although if he died, Naraku would have to die too... After all, who called The Infant the heart separated by Naraku.
He dared not gamble on whether his existence would be discovered by the opponent if the fight continued. That kind of causal strike that could ignore distance would be very troublesome if it locked onto him.
With this small infant body, there was only a dead end.
'If I can't get Koga's two Shikon Jewel fragments... Moryomaru, go catch Kohaku! There is still a shard on that guy!'
"Understood."
...
"Aah, ate a loss, huh."
Byakuya stood on the paper crane observing the fleeing Moryomaru and gradually understood the situation.
"Now I have to report to Naraku. An opponent who can accurately hit the heart? Although I don't know the specific effectiveness, it seems not to be underestimated."
Even though he hadn't fully glimpsed who that human using the long spear was, Byakuya subconsciously felt that this guy would be very tricky for the current Naraku.
With such thoughts, he rode the paper crane away and returned to the place where Naraku was.
"Naraku... I have something to..."
Just landing at the door of the house halfway up the mountain, before he could finish his words upon entering, he saw Hakudoshi lying on the ground.
"!"
That chilling aura emanating made Byakuya feel uncomfortable.
'Aah, finished so soon? The reincarnation of a Demon...'
Witnessing the pitch-black sclera and the characters "Upper Moon" and "One" in the eyes, Byakuya didn't have the slightest thought of sympathy for like kind.
"Faster than imagined."
Naraku sat in the hall, looking at Muzan's excited appearance and spoke.
"It seems the so-called Class gave me such enhancement. Originally, to transform such a powerful existence, it would take a large amount of time. But now it doesn't take that long."
Even Muzan himself hadn't expected it to be like this.
In his own world, just transforming Yoriichi Tsugikuni's brother, Michikatsu Tsugikuni, who was a strong human, took nearly three days.
The more powerful the existence, the longer the time required to transform into a Demon. But under the Class bonus brought by Caster, he was different here.
Meeting the human Michikatsu Tsugikuni again, he was confident he could turn the other party into a Demon in an instant.
"This time you can survive outside for a bit. But you have to avoid those two women. Although Hakudoshi got strengthened, I can feel that he is more easily killed by Sacred Arrows now."
Looking at Hakudoshi lying on the ground no longer making a fuss, Naraku glanced at Muzan and kindly reminded him.
"Sacred Arrows?"
"One is Kikyo whom you met in the forest... The other is Kagome whom you saw in the village wearing strange clothes."
Raising the corners of his mouth, Naraku pointed them out to him.
"!"
Recalling the faces of those two people in his mind, Muzan understood.
That seemed to be the existence called Miko in this world. That was a profession more dangerous than Demon Slayers.
If he could gain a foothold in this world, Muzan wanted to use Demons to kill all Miko. He couldn't let humans with such dangerous abilities exist...
He could accept the appearance of one Yoriichi Tsugikuni, but he couldn't accept that every human possessed the power to kill him.
After a long while, Muzan subsequently led the Demonified Hakudoshi and left.
"Now, Byakuya, say whatever you have to say."
Sending Muzan away specially was to grasp some matters that he couldn't let the other party know easily.
"It's like this..."
Byakuya walked forward, then slowly recounted the clash between Moryomaru and Koga's group.
"Naraku?"
After Byakuya finished speaking, he found that Naraku's expression seemed a bit off.
"Koga, that guy, summoned an incredible Servant."
Gritting his teeth, Naraku didn't expect to walk through the gates of hell.
A Servant capable of targeting the heart for attacks...
"However, he missed the only opportunity to kill me! Should I say he has good luck or bad luck... Heheh..."
Standing up, Naraku suddenly sneered.
Having experienced such a thing, he couldn't let The Infant stay outside anymore. After all, in such a chaotic situation, it was possible to be slaughtered by someone at any time.
Previously, he intended to let the other party do the work for him to play with, but with the intervention of the Dragon Balls, this was a bit dangerous. Maybe some Servant had the ability to kill The Infant.
If he was implicated and died, Naraku would really be very aggrieved.
"Now four pairs of Masters and Servants have been found, Naraku, but there is no news from the other two groups for a long time."
Thinking of another matter, Byakuya spoke with a headache.
Regarding the matters Naraku ordered, he wasn't like his sister Kagura who obeyed publicly but opposed privately, but even Byakuya couldn't find the remaining two pairs of Masters and Servants for a long time.
"It doesn't matter. Of the remaining two teams, one is Saber, possibly in the eastern country. No matter what, the other party will enter the game sooner or later. As for the Berserker combination, there is even less need to care."
Hearing Naraku's words, Byakuya frowned, somewhat puzzled.
Saber was easy to understand, but listening to Naraku's tone, it seemed he already knew who Berserker was? And that relaxed attitude... It really made people curious.
"No matter how other Masters and Servants struggle... It will all be just futile. That guy has already obtained the most suitable Servant..."
