Chapter 226 - Prayer (2/2)

With the economy of the entire Capital's market facing a sudden rise in the demand of stock, both— From the revered Demon Slayers and the feared Daimyos and Samurais— It didn't take long for the smarter ones to form many theories. In barely a day's time, the entire Capital was sent into a panic and the fact that the upper level of the society remained tight-lipped did not ease the situation.

”Two locations would be heavily armed—Fujikasane Mountain and the Swordsmith Village.”

During dinner, Elizabeth explained the entire structure of the counterattack fluently, ”With the thunder cultivator and the water cultivator taking up the Fujikasane Mountain and me alongside other cultivators and pillars safeguarding the Swordsmith...

We may have the chance to survive. Of course, we can directly kill Muzan and end this whole charade but he is nowhere to be found.”

”... I don't want to spoil the mood but... can you pass me that sauce?”

Nik pointed at the green sauce in front of Elizabeth, attracting the strange gaze from Saeko and Shizuka alongside.

”What? I like my food spicier...”

Nik shrugged as Elizabeth passed him the sauce.

”Now, any good insight regarding the fight?”

”Brian sent me a message that he is tracking each and every host that has turned into a demon. So, from that front, we are about 80% safe... but keeping caution is still advisable. Meanwhile, I can probably use my gravity as a large attack... but I reckon that I can only keep that up for two, or most three times.”

Elizabeth nodded but Nik wasn't finished, ”Of course, I'll be hypnotising each and every demon I see and make them fight against each other. Muzan's blood has a stronghold over each and every demon, but that control isn't invincible.

If, the system is correct, then the moment Muzan takes control of everyone in his newly formed demon army, then capturing a part of his troop is not hard.”

”What about Ray?”

Shizuka inquired as Nik hesitated for a moment, ”S- no, he... won't take part in the battle and deal with Muzan directly.”

The news came as a shock to the group and instantly, the trio's gaze concentrated on Nik, wishing to have their unspoke question answered.

”He says... that Muzan will be his last partner.”

”What?”

The meaning of 'partner' had been all to clear to the girls and the fact that the cute chef was going for the most dreaded being known to the slayer corps with the objective to mate came as nothing short to astonishment.

”But— Ray... he will be alright, right?”

Saeko continued and even if she was troubled at the thought of such a young boy attacking Muzan, she let nothing but concern lace her tone. After all, Ray had already been quite a nice guy to them, helping them pick dresses and even sharing the hotspot for the public ventures during the date.

”Out of the three, I am the weakest. Brian bosts a strength the even the 1st Ranked Fiends won't like to face and Ray's bloodline is far better than mine, elevating his skills of illusion and seduction.

If you want to pray for anyone, then do so for Muzan.”

”I pray that he burns in hell... but now, I think, hell would be easier for him.

For such a guy that boasts country fearing strength, I pray that his butt gapes larger than the size of his head while Ray skewers him with poles.”

Shizuka spat with a cold face while the remaining trio shivered.

But yeah, the prayed for the same thing.
