Chapter 20 - Chapter 19: Death of Douma

"I am willing to pay everything as the price to summon a demon, hoping to slay the demon before me here."

Just as Douma was about to eat,

the card Kanae had her hand over emitted a pure white light.

Why would a demon be so bright?

Realizing something was wrong, Douma also retreated a distance.

Looking at the sky, Douma said, "It's truly beautiful~"

Immediately after, a pillar of light shot up into the sky, then formed a barrier several miles in radius.

Inside the barrier, it was a pure white.

Accompanied by tense background music.

Immediately after, a figure appeared before Kanae's eyes.

With hair as white as jade and captivating crimson pupils, a pair of demonic wings on his back added a touch of malevolence to his presence.

The one who arrived was Abel, summoned from another world.

Lying on the ground, Kanao relaxed upon seeing the suddenly appearing Abel.

Looking at the man before her, was this a demon?

He didn't seem that evil.

Abel retracted his wings and looked around, seeing the familiar Douma nearby, he understood where he had arrived.

Pillars... Demon Slayer.

Then the one who summoned him must be the Flower Pillar, Kochou Kanae.

Another good subordinate.

Abel already knew Kanae's wish through the system.

To slay the Douma before her.

Abel looked down at Kanae and said, "I already know your wish. In exchange for your wish, you will become my person."

Kanae had no strength to speak, only nodding slightly to indicate that she understood.

Abel also inserted an ordinary Knight chess piece into Kanae's body, which also kept her barely alive, to be dealt with after Douma was taken care of.

At this moment, Douma, who was watching from the side, waved at Abel and said, "Oh my, oh my~ Esteemed Sir, this Pillar lady is my prey, and interrupting someone's meal is very impolite."

Abel ignored Douma's words, activated his Sharingan, and directly sent Kanae into Kamui Space to avoid the upcoming impact.

Seeing Kanae suddenly disappear, Douma was somewhat displeased.

"Sir, eating alone is not a good habit."

Douma smiled reprovingly, but a dangerous glint flashed in his eyes.

Then he waved his fan.

A sparkling ice dust floated towards Abel.

Just as it was about to touch Abel, it smoothly deviated, and the Conqueror Formula's protection mechanism was directly triggered.

This scene also made Douma curious.

"A Blood Demon Art I've never seen before. Are you someone Lord Muzan personally trained?" He asked curiously, watching his ice crystals revolve around Abel, "You're really lucky~ To enter Lord Muzan's eyes so quickly~"

Douma muttered to himself, watching his abilities being controlled by Abel.

Listening to Douma's words, Abel scoffed.

"I am not a man-eating demon like you. Whether it's the Upper Ranks or Muzan, you are nothing but rats who cannot see the light of day."

Listening to Abel's words, Douma still smiled, and with a flick of the fan in his hand, it fully opened.

"Your words truly hurt, Sir."

"Blood Demon Art: Lotus Leaf Ice."

Douma waved his fans, and lotus-shaped ice crystals rushed towards Abel.

As mentioned before, the Conqueror Formula can deflect the direction of attacks launched at him, and then take control of the technique and manipulate it.

Then it changes the form of the attack, and even increases its speed and power.

The ice crystals that had turned into lotuses once again became ice crystals, surrounding Abel.

"You blocked it, huh? Then what about this move?"

"Blood Demon Art: Vine Lotus!"

"Blood Demon Art: Scattered Lotus!"

Douma summoned lotuses with vines, and the tentacles within the lotuses attacked Abel. At the same time, Douma waved his fans, scattering a large amount of fine ice petals, each petal as sharp as a blade.

These techniques, just like before, transformed into ice crystals surrounding him as they approached Abel.

Seeing this, Douma understood Abel's ability.

"Your ability is truly annoying, Sir~" Douma said "helplessly" as he watched his ineffective attacks, "But I'm not very good at fighting, it's really troublesome~ I really wish Lord Akaza was here."

"However, with Lord Akaza's help, I do know a little bit of hand-to-hand combat~"

Blood Demon Art: Withered Garden Hanging Snow.

Douma's figure flickered, instantly appearing before Abel, and the fan in his hand, like a sharp blade, slashed towards Abel.

However, Douma's movements were captured by Abel's Mangekyo Sharingan.

But Abel did not dodge.

He let Douma cut him.

"Huh?"

Douma looked at the fan in his hand, then at the unharmed Abel, and was greatly puzzled.

He had clearly cut him.

"Then it's my turn now." Abel spoke at this moment.

He raised his left hand.

[Innovate Clear!]

(Azure Innovation Garden Box!)

"Genesis Domain!"

Abel used his divine artifact to pull Douma into the void.

The two stood in this space.

"Sir, what is this place?" Douma looked around curiously.

Abel ignored him, only saying to Douma.

"Have you ever been in the sun?"

"Huh?"

Listening to Abel's words, Douma was greatly puzzled.

He hadn't been in the sun for hundreds of years, after all, he was a demon, and he preferred basking in the moonlight.

Just as Douma was confused,

Abel snapped his fingers.

A scorching heat wave struck.

A blazing sun appeared before them.

"Su... sun?"

Douma's eyes widened, his body completely illuminated by the sunlight, and at the same time, pain spread throughout his body.

"Should I be in agony and wailing?" Douma asked Abel, looking at his smoking and dissipating body.

After hearing Douma's words, Abel was speechless.

After all, this guy was somewhat insensitive to emotions.

Then, he would continue to rewrite some memories.

[Telos Karma!]

Ultimate Karma reappeared, and Abel began to rewrite Douma's own memories. After all, if an Upper Rank died, and in such an absurd way, Muzan might hide for another hundred years.

In that case, it wouldn't be fun.

"The sun is truly warm~"

Douma spread his arms, embracing the sun, then turned into ashes.

With Douma's death, Abel also deactivated the divine artifact.

Abel's sudden appearance startled a panting Kasugai Crow that had just arrived.

Abel looked at the Kasugai Crow with a bow, stroked his chin, then, before it could react, grabbed it and threw it into Kamui Space.

He didn't even need to look to know whose Kasugai Crow it was.

Since the Kasugai Crow had arrived, the Pillars should be coming soon.

Then... time to leave.

Looking at the slowly rising sun and many figures, Abel directly returned home.

Of course, Abel did not forget to throw Kanae's butterfly hair ornament on the ground.

From then on, Abel left the Demon Slayer world.
