Chapter 92: The protagonist is always amazing

A demon isn't that strong.

Isao realized that fact after he had fought many of the strong demons.

While a demon might give terror to everyone in this world, its existence was unable to shake the foundation of this world or become an existence akin to a disaster such as a tsunami or an earthquake that could easily cause billions worth of losses for humanity.

At best, the demon was like a beast who ran away from the zoo. While a single human or few people were helpless against them, if many people gathered, those demons were as good as useless.

While it was true that the strength among the demons might be special and could even match hundreds of people, it was impossible to match the might of a country.

Or rather, as long as thousands of people gathered, Isao could imagine that Muzan could be defeated.

However, if that happened, the story where the protagonist and other characters who show their hardship in their battle wouldn't appear. At the same time, the demon would be decimated immediately and become an object of research for immortality.

Isao didn't doubt such a thing since sometimes a human was far crueler than a mere demon, who only ate a human occasionally.

Still, he was so glad he came to Tanjiro; otherwise, would he have a chance to devour Muzan's DNA?

'Well, since you are here, then I won't let you go.'

Holding Muzan's head, Isao directly devoured it to ease the consumption of his energy from absorbing Muzan's DNA into his body. At the same time, he also absorbed all the other parts of Muzan's body, which he cut down, slowly but surely devouring everything of Muzan's.

Still, Isao had to say that Tanjiro's fate was so miserable.

At the same time, Muzan was confused.

What was happening?

Why did this happen?

Who was this?

Yet, this wasn't something surprising, especially for Isao, who had the sword talent from Saeko, all the Hashira, and also Tanjiro. The combination of all of them had given them a frightening talent for swordsmanship!

However, as they stared at this fight in a daze, they forgot to watch out for Tanjiro.

At this moment, Tanjiro had woken up and quickly ran toward his family. Yes, he knew that Isao and Muzan were fighting, but his family was there! How could he watch his family be tramped by their fight? So, even if this was stupid, he decided to charge forward to bring all of his family away!

"Wa-Wait!"

"What are you doing?!"

"STOPPPP!"

Everyone tried to stop Tanjiro, but Tanjiro, whose body had exceeded normal human quality, couldn't be reached or stopped. He was already in front of his family and ready to take them away.

Only Muzan saw this chance and made a desperate attempt to kill Tanjiro.

Muzan knew this was a bet since he could tell Isao was an evil guy, and he probably wouldn't think of anything if Tanjiro lost his life. Still, no matter what, Isao was a Demon Slayer, and it was his duty to protect others, so as long as he tried to kill Tanjiro, then Isao would stop him!

Muzan thought so, and he decided to make this bet.

Though, he knew if he failed, then—

Once again, Tanjiro felt the threat of death and saw a blade-like arm about to fall into his head. His eyes widened, and his eyes were full of fear as he hugged his siblings tightly. However, like before, he was saved once again.

"Dance of the Grasshopper: Death Hopper!"

Suddenly, Isao's arm transformed and had the trait of a grasshopper's legs. Then, using the spear part of his poleaxe, he stabbed Muzan's body and slammed him into the distance with all of his might, yet at that moment, Muzan won.

At that far distance, several pieces of his flesh gathered together into the size of a brain before a Japanese sliding-door-like portal appeared and pulled him inside, saving him from the crisis.

Isao didn't bother to chase Muzan and just stood helplessly before he looked at Tanjiro, who was still stunned as he hugged his siblings like a frightened lamb.

"Amazing..." Isao said helplessly as he looked at the night sky.
