"That intense youkai power clash just now..."
"That's right, one of them is Sesshomaru!"
"Then the other one is..."
"Yes, that's Master Toga's youkai power!"
Inuyasha and Myoga were rushing towards the location of that explosive confrontation. Even from a distance earlier, they could feel that earth-shaking momentum.
"Tch... who exactly is it? To actually be able to summon the Old Man."
Thinking of Moroha's situation, even if Inuyasha was dull, he knew it was extremely likely that someone had pulled that person out through that so-called Ritual.
"Eh? Inuyasha-sama, do you know what happened?"
Myoga looked at Inuyasha, who didn't seem confused at all, in astonishment. He had been chatting with Totosai during this period, so he wasn't clear about the situation happening in the outside world.
If he hadn't sensed The Great Dog Demon's existence this time, he might not have rushed over.
"Tch, too troublesome to explain. You just need to know that someone can summon people and youkai who once existed through a strange ritual."
"What?!! There is actually such sorcery? Who exactly is it!"
"Shut up, I want to know too!"
...
"Master, a very strong clash of youkai power came from the East."
"I know, Naraku already told me who it was. A Great Demon... Currently, it's an existence we absolutely cannot contend with, right?"
Extending his hand to insert into the chest of the human in front of him, Muzan heard Hakudoshi's words from behind and responded.
"But no matter, Naraku will have a way to solve it."
If it were before, learning of such a strong enemy, his first thought would be to hide first.
But now, Muzan had a slight courage to face it. Blindly hiding would not allow him to grow.
He still needed to come out and walk around more personally... Only then could he discover things he hadn't seen before.
For example, the human in front of him...
"In ancient times, there were swordsmiths forging swords for those Demon Slayers. From today on, I want you to forge swords for Demons."
"Yes!!"
Squatting on the ground, the human formerly named Toshu had already mutated into a Demon.
"First create the sword for Upper Moon One, using this Dragon Man's corpse. You can definitely create an excellent weapon."
"That is inevitable!"
Looking at the dismembered Dragon Man, Muzan gave orders and subsequently received the subordinate's answer.
'Not enough... still need more excellent Demons.'
The resources of this world were far more excellent than his side. Humans and youkai, as long as they could be transformed into Demons, they would all obtain huge improvements.
Although they would still retain the weakness of being unable to withstand sunlight, Muzan believed that one day he could overcome it.
Blue Spider Lily... Wonder if it exists in this world?
...
"Kohaku, how long can Kikyo protect you?"
Devouring Moryomaru, Naraku spoke with ease.
"What?"
"The shard on your body has spiritual power she personally infused; presumably, it was prepared to kill me. But... that's not absolute..."
Hearing these words, Moroha frowned while paying attention to this person full of evil aura.
'Because I was hurt by a youkai named Naraku before, part of the miasma and evil energy hasn't completely dissipated yet.'
"You guy!! Are you Naraku?"
"[Demonic Dragon Wave]!!"
Recalling Kikyo's words, without any hesitation, Moroha swung her fine sword and unleashed a pink long dragon to bombard him.
BZZT!!
Shifting his body laterally to dodge this strike, Naraku turned his gaze to that small figure.
"Kikyo's Servant? This is really a huge joke. Presumably, if Inuyasha and the others knew, their expressions would definitely be very colorful."
Seeing through her essence at a glance, Naraku suddenly became amused.
"However, now is not the time to tangle with you guys either. Kohaku, I'll let Kikyo keep your life temporarily."
Turning into a thick black whirlwind, Naraku disappeared on the spot.
"Damn it! That guy ran away so arrogantly!"
"No, Naraku didn't look that relaxed."
"Huh?"
"Something must have happened; otherwise, Naraku couldn't have left so simply."
Kohaku knew Naraku's personality very well. With such a good opportunity, he didn't attempt to snatch his Shikon Jewel shard, definitely not because of the trap in the fragment.
There must be something Naraku cared about more happening, so he had to go make some preparations.
...
"Toga and Kirinmaru... Really troublesome guys. But... as long as I drag Kirinmaru down first, Toga won't actively participate based on the situation of other participants."
Facing that Invincible under Heaven combination, Naraku was not anxious.
From the moment the other party stepped onto the land of the Western Country, he received a reminder from his Ally.
Initially learning of the Saber pair, he was a bit surprised. But fortunately, it wasn't unable to be broken.
Rather...
"Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, I should actually thank you for your intervention. You guys are the main force helping me contain Toga..."
The corners of his mouth raised in a sneer. Naraku subsequently squeezed Moryomaru's body out of his body.
A large number of Saimyosho gathered to carry Moryomaru's flesh and flew in another direction.
"Don't let me down, Muzan. Smashing so many resources on you, if you achieve nothing, then there is no need to exist."
Witnessing the place where the Saimyosho left, Naraku said in a deep voice.
He now had to go do two things personally... First was to snatch the Shikon Jewel fragments and Dragon Ball from Kagome, and secondly, there was Koga...
"With those three fragments, it will be close to completion."
If Kohaku's shard weren't a bit tricky, Naraku would have made his move long ago. It was a pity that he really didn't have the time to waste there now.
...
"Mn?"
Kirinmaru looked at the Old Man appearing in front of him, his tone becoming unfriendly.
"Are you going to stop me?"
"The Shikon no Tama!"
That individual possessing some youkai's body, Kirinmaru wouldn't mistake it.
"Heheh, Kirinmaru, long time no see. To think we would meet like this."
That teasing language emitted actually made Kirinmaru very unhappy. But subsequently, he seemed to notice something.
"You..."
The mark on the back of that youkai's hand was undoubtedly a Command Spell. Kirinmaru suddenly realized the situation wasn't as simple as he imagined.
Reasonably speaking, unless the Shikon no Tama was completed, this thing shouldn't have the power to actively interfere with the world. Through Kirinmaru's observation, this guy was still missing a few pieces to be complete...
"Don't misunderstand. I am not possessing anyone's body. But merely merged with the summoned Servant. The Berserker Class Servant is inherently a bit special; I just went with the flow and occupied this body. Which is the so-called Master and Servant in one body! Have to say, this youkai body is really suitable... Whether it's youkai power or ability, it's simply too suitable to deal with you and Toga!!"
That rampant speech issued, and that gesture of pointing a finger at his own oval head... that manic posture was just like a certain vampire who sucked someone's blood.
SLASH!!
"Is that so?"
Kirinmaru just moved coldly, not caring.
In just that instant of brushing past, the Old Man's body was torn into pieces.
