Life at Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 450: Killing Stone, Ghost Becomes Demon

The cat started talking about the so-called past again.

"Under the influence of that adult's power, Muzan Kibutsuji has now been freed from the constraints of the sun."

Ever since gaining the ability of mist, Muzan’s obsession with the blue spider lily is not as strong anymore.

Of course, we will find it if we need to.

And this task was also given to the Twelve Demon Moons.

In the past, Muzan would never let the Twelve Demon Moons go searching so actively, because he was afraid that the Twelve Demon Moons would eat the blue spider lily directly after finding it.

He was also afraid that the blue red spider lily would bring about big changes, causing the ghosts under his command to escape his control, which he absolutely would not allow.

Muzan was very strong in the past, but his strength was actually only based on his absolute control over demons.

If there is no such absolute control ability.

He couldn't even kill Mingnu.

Muzan, who does not have various abilities, is actually quite passive when facing this kind of special ability.

If the complete form of Naruto is not controlled by Muzan, the two will fight.

As long as Muzan's strength is not enough to destroy the entire Infinite City, he may be killed by Mingnu.

As long as he is trapped and then thrown out through space into the sunlight, Wuzan can be killed.

In a sense, Muzan's worries and fears are justified, since his abilities are so simple and unpretentious.

It was because of his simplicity that he was ambushed, finally dragged down, and died because of the sunlight.

The abilities that Lucci bestowed upon him were to fully make up for his shortcomings.

The mist ability at the beginning was actually nothing. At that time, Lu Qi was just beginning to influence the entire world, and he had not yet analyzed the power of this world. He could only choose simple power.

This fog has no combat capability.

But for ghosts, it is a very important ability, and it is not pure blood ghost magic.

Vampire magic will also be affected by sunlight. Even if it is a creation-type vampire magic, it will be weakened under the sunlight, even if it will not completely disappear.

If it is a vampire magic with the ability to create mist, then under the sun, it will be extremely weakened, making the mist very thin.

This should have been tested by Wuchan.

Even the monsters transformed by Lucci are in a similar situation, but they are better than simple ghosts.

After all, part of the power comes from ghost blood.

Perhaps the blue spider lily can solve this problem.

In fact, Lucci had also been secretly looking for the blue spider lily, but unfortunately, it was very difficult to find.

At least Lucci hasn't been found yet.

When Tamayo heard Nekomata talking about Muzan Kibutsuji, her expression changed again and again.

The fact that Muzan Kibutsuji has become stronger is definitely not good news for her.

The most important thing is that he is favored by a certain "adult" who is stronger than Muzan, so it becomes even more difficult to kill him.

So these monsters are also subordinates of that "master"?

"Don't worry, I may have been born from that adult, but now I belong to another adult."

Here the cat stopped talking.

It represents that they are different from ghosts. After all, it can be obviously seen that the monsters created by Nekomata are different from the monsters created by Muzan.

The monsters created by Muzan are pure animals and retain a strong wildness. They are stronger than ordinary ghosts at the beginning, but the important thing is that they are too beastly.

Among the harm caused by neon ghosts nowadays, this type of monster is the most harmful.

"So do you want to become a monster?" the cat asked again.

Tamayo hesitated.

"I want to kill Muzan Kibutsuji. What can I gain if I become a monster and join you?"

This is the most important thing for Zhu Shi.

"What can I gain?"

"Join us, you will not be afraid of Muzan Kibutsuji and you can be protected by us."

Muzan Kibutsuji doesn't care that much about Tamayo, but of course if he meets her, he doesn't mind killing her.

If she joins, Tamayo can at least appear openly.

Tamayo has been traveling around Japan looking for demon blood, and is also trying to create demons, but has not succeeded yet.

All we can say is that the gears of fate have not yet turned.

"If I join, will I be able to know the original future?" This is also a question that Tamayo is concerned about.

"Of course!"

The cat answered directly.

"Then I choose to join. She has been living alone for so many years. It can be said that she is very lonely. Although ghosts are her kind, she can't find ghosts who want to rebel against Muzan like her."

As for becoming a monster, she actually still had the idea of ​​researching it.

The monsters here are difficult to study, so just study yourself.

Maybe we can find the ability to break the ghost blood from the monsters.

Even though Muzan's power is changing, the power of demon blood remains.

I have to say that Tamayo has a good idea.

But she was wrong a little bit. If she turned into a monster, she would fall into Lucci's hands, and all monsters would also be in Lucci's hands.

It is also a slight change in the research on ghost blood.

It’s just that this has never been shown. After all, Lucci doesn’t need to show this. With slow development, Lucci will be able to transcend slowly.

"You guys retreat." Mao gave the order again.

Obviously, if Tamayo turns into a monster, she won't be seen by them.

But there is one exception.

Tamayo noticed that among the monsters, there was a monster dressed in white and holding a mirror and did not leave.

What kind of monster is the other party?

This is the mirror monster created by Lucci based on Kanna, but it is definitely not as strong as Kanna in Inuyasha's world.

The cat stood up again.

"Then start, don't resist."

A momentum rose from the Nekomata's body, and a series of black spells emerged from the palace, forming patterns and surrounding Tamayo.

Now that we already have Kagura, let’s create one.

These spells are all variations of the Divine Word studied by Lucci, as well as analyses of blood demon spells.

Then Tamayo saw the cat take out another stone.

"This is the killing stone, swallow it." The stone floated directly in front of Zhu Shi.

This was the first time she had seen such a scene. It was indeed completely different from vampire magic, a true sorcery.

Of course, what shocked her even more was the so-called "Killing Stone".

This name is well-known in Neon.

Because it is related to Tamamonomae, one of the three great Neon monsters.

The Killing Stone is located on a mountain in Nasu Town, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. It is a poisonous stone that will kill any insect or bird that comes into contact with it.

According to scientists, this poisonous rock that can kill living things is mostly found near the crater. It becomes toxic because it has been soaked in sulfurous acid and hydrogen sulfide gases ejected by the volcano.

Some temples moved it away and enshrined it as a sacred object.

As for the more mythological version, it is the crystallization of the magical power of the nine-tailed fox Tamamonomae.

Could it be that one of the “adults” just now was Tamamonomae?

In fact, this thing is the same as the one given to Muzan. All those that came over are "child stones". The mother stone is in another world and is affected by the dragon veins, and can have an impact across worlds.

Now that the decision has been made, there is no point in regretting it.

Even if you regret it, the other party may not agree.

Tamayo grabbed it and ate it directly, which was very courageous.

After the "Killing Stone" was eaten, it immediately began to take effect, and the "black spell" that originally surrounded her continued to flow into her body.

Then Tamayo felt the blood in his body boiling, and his whole body was rioting, and his organs seemed to be moving inside his body.

It also brought great pain.

Tamayo couldn't help but scream out in pain, "Ahhhh!"

It wasn't just the "Killing Stone" that was having an influence. These rituals weren't just about fortune-telling. They were indeed useful and were transforming her.

After obtaining Muzan's blood, Lucci's first transformation was naturally about food.

Allow it to eat the same food as humans, instead of just eating humans and drinking blood.

This transformation lasted for more than half an hour, which was a very long time.

After all, unlike other monsters, Tamayo is a demon transformed into a human, so the process is naturally different.

Although Lucci has conducted several experiments on other ghosts, Tamayo is different. She herself has certain differences from other ghosts.

It took a long time for Tamayo to recover.

"You should have gained the power of the wind now, and your original blood ghost arts still exist. You have become a monster, and unlike a ghost, you can eat other foods. Of course, the nutritional value is definitely different."

"Of course, they will still be killed by the sun."

"You should stay in Kyoto for now and get familiar with it."

After saying that, Nekomata disappeared into the palace, leaving only Tamayo and Kanna.

Tamayo was still a little dazed. The pain she had just felt almost made her "die". It was not something that an ordinary person could endure.

She managed to survive by relying on her hatred for Muzan Kibutsuji.

After a long time, he slowly stood up and thought.

This lord of demons and monsters actually has no demands on himself?

But I still want to know the original future!

Zhu Shi was lost in thought.

And Shenwu had already walked up to him.

"Do you want to see the future now?" Shenwu's cold voice came into his ears.

The voice was devoid of emotion.

Tamayo looked over and only then took a closer look. She could not sense any breath of the monster girl in front of her.

I can't sense the presence of humans, ghosts, or monsters at all.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have doubted its existence.

Kanna is different from other monsters. Strictly speaking, she cannot be considered a monster.

It is also a special creation prepared for Lucci before he officially set off for the Dark Continent.

To be honest, it is a divine creature belonging to the Demon Slayer world, with rudimentary consciousness. If Lucci learns some Yin-Yang magic and analyzes some blood demon magic, he can experiment on Kanna.

Tamayo nodded gently.

Then he discovered that a picture appeared in Kanna's mirror, which was the picture of Muzan Kibutsuji stepping into a certain place.

Too bad there is no sound.

In fact, it is just the scene of the final battle, where Muzan Kibutsuji discovers that Nezuko has overcome the sun, and then takes the initiative to go to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.

The strange scene of two children playing with a ball did not attract Wuzan's attention.

Ubuyashiki appeared in the mirror, and Tamayo recognized him at the first sight. After all, she had lived for hundreds of years and had actually had brief contact with the Demon Slayer Corps and Ubuyashiki, but it was not in-depth.

The characteristics of the Ubuyashiki clan are too obvious.

The scenes in the mirror passed very quickly.

Even without any sound, Tamayo could see many things.

Has Muzan found the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Corps?

What followed was a huge explosion scene, and Muzan appeared severely injured.

Tamayo also had to admit that with the development of human weapons, Muzan might actually be killed by technological weapons.

The next person to appear was a pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps. Although she didn't recognize him, Tamayo could make a judgment.

And then there was my own appearance.

I actually cooperated with the Demon Slayer Corps?

Although the cause and effect are unclear, Tamayo can be sure of this after seeing the scene. Is it because it is really possible to kill Muzan?

In other words, has he developed the potion that can transform him into a human?

The scene continues, and the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps are still coming.

With Muzan so badly injured, it was indeed possible to kill him.

So is it possible?

Then the scene kept turning, and a "door" appeared under the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps, including other members of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Everyone was falling downwards, and the situation inside was quickly revealed to Tamayo's eyes.

Tamayo was also unfamiliar with Mingnu's existence, and no one had expected such a situation to occur.

Everyone including Muzan fell into the Infinite City.

Tamayo has already seen the result of her own actions, being absorbed by Muzan.

The following scenes kept flashing by, showing the battle between demons and the Demon Slayer Corps, including the top three Upper Moons.

Although the images flashed quickly, Tamayo could feel the intensity of it.

The members of the Demon Slayer Corps died, and then the first three Upper Moons died.

What surprised Tamayo at first was that he didn’t die after being beheaded. It turned out that it wasn’t just Muzan who was special, other demons could do it too.

Of course, this also includes Douma's death.

Is that pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps researching poison?

Now that I have turned into a monster, will I still be affected by the wisteria flowers?

Lord Mo Ying didn't seem to mention wisteria just now. If I am no longer affected by wisteria, can I also conduct research on it?

When she saw Muzan's death at last, Tamayo's expression did not improve.

Because this is the original future, Muzan can only be killed with the help of the sun, but the current Muzan is not afraid of these things.

Is it because of the changes brought about by the appearance of monsters?

Tamayo's thoughts were in a tangle and she couldn't figure it out at all.

But she quickly cheered up. She didn't need to pay attention to these doubts. She only needed to care about one thing, which was to kill Muzan. That was enough.

"So what should I do next?" Tamayo asked Xiang Shenwu.

"Follow me!" Kanna will serve as Tamayo's guide in Shadow Kyoto and teach her how to live here.

On the other side, the Demon Slayer Corps has been dispatched and divided into separate teams, sneaking into the villages and towns where the Twelve Demon Moons are located.

Waiting for the ghost to appear.
