Chapter-91: Lured Into a Rat Trap..

———————————————\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Two figures darted through the night like shadowy apparitions. With their inhuman speed and agility, they leapt from buildings, pavilions, and tiled roofs. Their swift movements were not visible to a human eye, a testament to the speeds they were going.

Respectively, the figure chasing behind the first one was Muzan and the one in front was Sasumaru leading the demon progenitor into a trap.

Muzan at this time wanted to get rid of Sasumaru who, in his eyes, was a rogue and out of control demon. He needed to get rid of this variable as soon as possible.

—Whish!

Sasumaru took an arrow from the quiver into her knuckle and lined it up on the bow. Even in a high-speed chase, she managed to turn around quickly and drew her bowstring. An arrow was let loose with an uncanny accuracy, the arrow pierced through the air as it headed for Muzan's forehead.

The speeding arrow like a bullet was quickly noticed by Muzan with his inhuman reflexes and tilted his head slightly to the left. The arrow whizzed by, barely grazing his hair but that made him the ever more angrier.

His scowl grew and his fangs were exposed. Muzan increased his speed further with a spontaneous burst of power in his legs.

"You..vermin!" Muzan growled as he caught up closer to Sasumaru. His arm morphed into a fleshy tentacle whip.

The whip came flying towards the demon girl. She grabbed a random pole and changed her direction suddenly after seeing the oncoming attack. Though she managed to evade, the back of her leg was grazed and cut.

"Urk..!" Sasumaru uttered a groan but she still pushed on. She landed steadily on a flat rooftop and turned back to Muzan's direction again.

This time, she grabbed 5 arrows in the gaps between her fingers. One by one, she let the heavy titanium arrows coated with Wisteria poison loose. With her enhanced strength, the heavy arrows flew akin to lightning bolts.

—Bam! Bam! Bam!

Three arrows struck Muzan, in his right leg, right shoulder, and his abdomen. While Muzan did slap away the other two arrows, they didn't break, showing their quality. The Titanium arrows clanged and rattled when it hit the ground.

Sasumaru glanced back and made a quick mental note to come back for the arrows and retrieve them later. Just as hastily as she made that mental note, she noticed a small, dark, deserted street that she changed course to.

The street was damp and empty without any people in the vicinity. She landed on the slippery stone path, her wooden sandals thudded as she pulled more Titanium arrows out of her quiver.

Sasumaru's muscles grew and she exploded in power. Thank goodness her new clothes was mixed with polyether-polyurea copolymer fabrics, or spandex, which allowed for so much stretchability.

She loaded three arrows in one load. She raised her Titanium compact Yumi and aimed her sights at the oncoming Muzan. Sasumaru's enhanced night vision served her well, the arrows lined up perfectly as she calculated his parabolic path down.

"Tsk!" Sasumaru produced a solid clicking sound using her tongue. She let go of the bowstring, the arrows started flying and three consecutive sonic booms sounded.

The arrow whistles sounded like the chilling sirens on the Junker 87 dive bombers of the Third Reich..

Her arrows flew at Mach 2.89 due to the tensile strength of the bow string and also taking the material of the compound Yumi being Titanium into account. Muzan barely dodged one but was cornered by the other two.

"Tche!" Muzan sneered as he used his full physical speed. Too bad for Sasumaru, his speed reached into Mach 3, so he dodged both of the oncoming arrows by contorting his body into impossible directions and jumping off from a wall.

He disappeared from the air and reappeared on ground right in front of Sasumaru. In a blink of an eye, his claws scratched her abdomen, ripping through her clothes.

"Gahk! Gr..!" Sasumaru grunted as her wounds started healing immediately while she activated the full extent of her Blood Demon Art.

Her body grew several meters, her arms swelled and became muscular, and her muscles had become that of a bodybuilder's. Sasumaru's face had both grimace and fury spelled in her face.

"You ripped my new clothes bastard!" Sasumaru shouted in pure anger and wrath. The black container behind her back opened after 4 arms sprouted from her back. Each of the arms took quivers filled to the brim with arrows.

Like an Asura, Sasumaru unveiled her whole potential for the bow. Her four other arms provided the arrows in a quick manner and her main two arms held her bow and tsuru.

"Haaah....hut!" Sasumaru breathed in deeply, then, she started. The first arrow was loaded and as soon as it was let go, the tsuru had been reloaded with another one.

Arrow by arrow, several was released within seconds apart from each other. A barrage of arrows streamed towards Muzan.

—Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

Even with Muzan's insane speed, he couldn't dodge all of the arrows due to the amount of them, so the only thing that he could do is try to parry the arrows to hit non-vital parts of his body.

The arrows pierced his body, it made him look like a victim of a hedgehog. The arrows avoided his main vital parts like his two hearts and brains scattered across his amalgamation of a body.

Yet, the arrows didn't stop flying, Sasumaru was still continuing her assault on the demonic progenitor. Muzan raised his arms and covered his body, morphing them to become shields made out of flesh.

Unbelievably, the flesh shield managed to resist the Titanium arrows albeit difficultly. Meanwhile on top of a roof behind Muzan, stood Ren.

"It's time.." Ren muttered as he released his aura, making it freely explode. Muzan felt his heart beating like gongs, every instinct on his abominable body screaming.

His eyes diluted as turned back to the source. "N-no..! It can't be..!" He was petrified.
