COTM: AEFVTCLI Chapter 20
🕑 Added 2025-08-23 03:04:01 +0000 UTCChapter 20: Tsugikuni Yoriichi's entire life was filled with hardship.
『 “What’s so funny, what’s so interesting!”
“You, WHAT DO YOU TAKE LIFE FOR?!?!”
The terrifying figure erupted with a horrifying aura. Muzan Kibutsuji couldn’t answer. Under extreme fear and anger, his face turned red, even black!
The greatest malice came from his perception, and a buzzing and death echo resounded in his ears!
Yoriichi noticed that the woman who was following the Demon King earlier not only didn’t help but even showed a glimmer of human hope in her eyes when she saw Muzan severely injured!
Yoriichi decided to kill Muzan Kibutsuji first and end all of this!
However, at the brink of life and death, Muzan Kibutsuji did something no one had expected!
He crushed his teeth! His body suddenly burst, turning into countless pieces of flesh just to evade the swordsman in front of him!
Facing this completely unimaginable scene, Yoriichi instinctively froze for a moment, then his crimson Nichirin Blade transformed into a sun, rapidly flashing in the night sky!
In that instant, Yoriichi actually slashed over 1,500 pieces!
But Yoriichi knew that in the end, the opponent still escaped!
He missed the best opportunity; Muzan Kibutsuji would never encounter him again.
Immense regret and pain filled Yoriichi’s heart.
A whimpering sound came.
Tamayo knelt on the ground, so close to success!
Who would have thought that Muzan Kibutsuji had overcome the weakness of his neck!
In her anger, Tamayo directly shouted Muzan Kibutsuji’s name, but didn’t die.
It turned out that because Muzan Kibutsuji had suffered unimaginably severe injuries, Tamayo had broken free from his control!
Looking at this woman who deeply hated Muzan Kibutsuji, Yoriichi hesitated for a moment and didn’t kill her.
From Tamayo, Yoriichi learned a lot about Muzan Kibutsuji.
He also confirmed that before he died, Muzan Kibutsuji really wouldn’t appear. 』

【 Gilgamesh⦍ Chūnibyō⦎ (Type-Moon): “Hmph hahahahaha! So interesting! The ugly state of the mongrel is fully exposed! This King’s abs are going to split from laughter! Mongrel, WHAT DO YOU TAKE LIFE FOR?!?! Tell this King loudly! Hmph hahahaha!” 】
【 Muzan Kibutsuji (Demon Slayer): “Mere human! Don’t go too far! @Gilgamesh.” 】
【 Gilgamesh⦍ Chūnibyō⦎ (Type-Moon): “Oh~ The mongrel seems to be displeased with this King.” 】
【 Merlin (Type-Moon): “Hehe, any life will fight fiercely when facing death, even ants are no exception. Muzan actually turned his body into pieces of flesh—how amusing.” 】
【 Douma (Demon Slayer): “You actually compared Muzan-sama to an ant!” 】
【 Aizen (Bleach): “Compared to Tsugikuni Yoriichi, isn’t Muzan Kibutsuji just like that? Life, so fragile.” 】
【 Aqua (KonoSuba): “WHAT DO YOU TAKE LIFE FOR?!?! Answer me! You brat! Pfft kyuksuksu! Did you see? Muzan’s face turned green from fright!” 】
【 Tokai Teio (Uma Musume): “For those who disrespect life! Teio also agrees with severe torture!” 】
【 Shinjuro Rengoku (Demon Slayer): “Tsugikuni Yoriichi, why didn’t you kill Muzan Kibutsuji back then?! You bastard!” 】
【 Shirai Kuroko (A Certain Magical Index): “..? Uncle, you’re hilarious. Yoriichi-san protects this world because he loves it. He doesn’t have any obligation to protect you, does he?” 】
【 Spider-Man (Earth-96283): “But with great power comes great responsibility…” 】
【 Deadpool (MCU): “Spider-bro, stop beating around the bush. If you have so much power, come and help me out, I’m starving to death!” 】

“Teacher, do you think Tsugikuni Yoriichi was wrong or right?”
Genos was slightly lost in thought.
“Huh? Wrong? What’s wrong?”
The bald head turned around, and Saitama asked with a puzzled look.
“Genos, take me for example. I’m just a hero for fun. I’m not a hero because I have to be.”

『 When Yoriichi returned to the Demon Slayer Corps, a piece of bad news completely stunned him.
His elder brother had become a demon…
And he not only failed to meet everyone’s expectations but also let Muzan and Tamayo escape.
Mother, wife, and children, elder brother, one after another, left him. Immense sorrow and loneliness rose in Yoriichi’s heart.
He possessed great strength, but he couldn’t protect anything.
At that moment, all the malice almost drowned Yoriichi.
His once close comrades, because Yoriichi let Muzan escape, because of Yoriichi’s elder brother, because Yoriichi let Tamayo escape, because of the Mark, everyone except the Rengoku family, pointed their fingers at Yoriichi.
Some Hashira believed he should be expelled, some demanded he commit seppuku.
But in the end, the then six-year-old Oyakata-sama stopped them. However, burdened with heavy guilt, Yoriichi felt ashamed and had no reason to stay there anymore.
Before leaving, Yoriichi informed the Rengoku family ancestor of the desperate truth that Muzan would absolutely not appear again before they died of old age.
This also made the Rengoku family ancestor completely lose hope. 』

【 Mash kyrielight (Type-Moon): “Yoriichi-san’s most trusted person also…” 】
【 Aizen (Bleach): “Visible betrayal isn’t terrifying, invisible betrayal is the most terrifying.” 】
【 Kal’tsit (Arknights): “He didn’t protect what should have been protected, he didn’t destroy what should have been destroyed. Yoriichi-san… indeed has no value.” 】
【 Chaotic Evil Gudako (Type-Moon): “This kind of person should be hung up and done ‘that’ with tentacles for a lifetime!” 】
【 Meruem (HunterXHunter): “These humans, are they being too presumptuous? They possess the strongest power. Why should they listen to this human’s nonsense?!” 】
【 Merlin (Type-Moon): “Because humans are social creatures, because Yoriichi-san is too kind.” 】
【 Artoria Pendragon (Type-Moon): “Is this the samurai spirit? Disappointing.” 】

“Hahahahahaha Tsugikuni Yoriichi, Tsugikuni Yoriichi!”
Shinjuro Rengoku clutched his sake cup, laughing, but as he laughed, he cried.
Because when he saw Tsugikuni Yoriichi’s half-life, he no longer had any right to blame Tsugikuni Yoriichi for not killing Muzan Kibutsuji back then.
“Tsugikuni Yoriichi’s life… was too bitter.”
