I will attack as a player!

End of Chapter 59

A long list of message notifications rose from Chu Wuji's eyes, all recording the gains after absorbing Muzan.

First, there's his level. He jumped directly from level 13 to level 15, skipping two levels in one go. Once he fills up the experience for this level, Chu Wuji will have to undertake another [Limit Breakthrough] quest.

Leaving aside the improvement in his basic strength, Chu Wuji also gained four additional skills after devouring Muzan: two passive skills and two active skills.

After glancing at the prompt, it was clear that the [Seed of the Ghost King] only had one ability: to make one's own flesh and blood corrosive, capable of transforming people into ghosts. This corrosiveness could normally remain permanently, but Chu Wuji could also actively shut it down whenever he needed to.

At the same time, like Muzan, they can use their will to make the demons they transform also temporarily possess this corrosiveness, thereby increasing the number of demons. This is how Upper Moon demons recruit Lower Moon demons.

The change in physical body is even simpler and more direct. Chu Wuji can adjust his flesh and blood structure at any time according to his own will, and can even grow multiple hearts and brains.

The remaining two active skills are Muzan's two Blood Demon Arts: [Art 1], which can release shockwaves, and [Black Blood Thorns], which can turn blood into iron thorns.

Both of these skills are actually quite suitable for Chu Wuji, because Chu Wuji also has similar abilities.

After some thought, Chu Wuji integrated the first technique into his [Heaven and Earth Coexistence], adding a shockwave damage to the explosion.

【Black Blood Thorn】incorporates the Seven Wounds Fist of Reversal and the Blood Demon Body Protection Technique, adding new special effects.

After trying it once, Chu Wuji was surprised to find that the iron thorns formed from his own blood could directly draw out true qi, and their compatibility with the Purple Lightning Reverse Yuan True Qi was extremely high.

It works like the conduction wave of Joseph Joestar's Stand.

These abilities were not obtained by absorbing Muzan, but were given to them by Muzan.

At that time, Chu Wuji did not have the ability to modify his physical body. It was Muzan who wanted to impact Chu Wuji with his memories of thousands of years, so that Chu Wuji would become the next person to inherit his will. That's why he took the initiative to give the "account" to Chu Wuji.

Otherwise, by simply devouring, Chu Wuji could at most gain experience points and the vast energy contained within Wuzan's body.

Muzan didn't expect that Chu Wuji would skip these useless CGs.

We players are like this: let alone our own lives, I'll skip over yours completely, okay?

As the storm subsided and Muzan died, the Infinity Castle began to collapse, squeezing Chu Wuji out of the ground.

Pulling myself away from the tumour that was gradually turning to ashes, I came into view a group of pillars dressed in haoris, each with a different expression, surrounding me.

Should we still fight?

Chu Wuji's gaze swept across everyone's faces, finally landing on Kocho Shinobu and Mizuko's faces.

Midouzi looked flustered, as if he was afraid that the pillars would fight with his savior.

Butterfly pursed her lips tightly and clenched her fists, but did not place them on the Nichirin Blade.

Chu Wuji hesitated for a moment, then decided not to make a move, intending to simply exit the instance if a fight broke out.

With their current basic strength, they have no hope of winning even if everyone could just give them one hand.

"Namo..."

Among the crowd, the tallest rock pillar, Himeyuu Gyoumei, clasped his hands together and spoke first.

"Ah!" Before Beimingyu Xingming could even speak, Midouzi jumped forward, startled: "Everyone, don't attack Brother Chu!"

"He clearly doesn't want to lose his mind like the other ghosts; I believe he can control himself!"

"Just like my brother, I believe Brother Chu won't attack us!"

After saying that, she turned her worried gaze to Chu Wuji, and at the same time secretly made up her mind that if Brother Chu also had a period of losing his mind like her own brother, then she would risk her life to drag Brother Chu to his senses.

The scene fell silent for a moment, and Midouzi felt an overwhelming pressure from those around her.

"Ah... what a touching trust." Himejima Gyomei shed a tear, then smiled: "Actually, we've already read our lord's last will and testament."

"The lord has already made Chu Sang's matter clear in his will. For something that absolutely had to be accomplished, even a strong person like him needed to rely on the power of the ghost."

"Whether a power is good or bad depends on the person who uses it, and Chusang has overcome his craving for flesh and blood."

"Chu Sang also promised the lord that he would never spread this evil power."

"Therefore, our lord has pledged the lives of his Ubuyashiki family descendants as a guarantee, and told us not to harm Chu Sang."

After listening to everything in a daze, Midouzi looked around and found that no one seemed surprised: "So you've all seen it."

"Yes, just now." Yoshiyuki Tomioka nodded.

Mitsuri Kanroji quickly added, "Because you're the youngest of the Pillars, we were afraid you wouldn't be able to accept it, which is why we didn't tell you. We didn't expect you to be the first to stand up for Chu-kun."

"Hmph, I wonder how he managed to bewitch our lord." Veins bulged on Shinazugawa Sanemi's scarred face, his hand still gripping the hilt of his sword tightly. "I don't think he should be kept alive."

"Oh?" Chu Wuji, who had been silent all along, suddenly looked up. The oppressive aura that seemed to solidify instantly caused everyone to put their hands on their knives.

"You don't actually think you can kill me, do you?"

"Are you just talking to yourself and forgetting who ended this battle and who minimized your casualties?"

"You showed murderous intent towards me, and I only refrained from attacking you out of consideration for our friendship and your lord. You'd better watch yourself."

After saying this, Chu Wuji slowly withdrew his gaze.

The reason why I don't want to fight this group is simply that some of them are Chu Wuji's friends: Shinobu Kocho is one, Nezuko is another, and Giyu Tomioka, whom I've only met once, is half a friend.

To digress a bit, one example is the master who had already died and whom I had a heart-to-heart talk with, as well as many hidden members who had spent time with me and helped me in the Butterfly Mansion.

Otherwise, Chu Wuji wouldn't mind killing more NPCs to level up to the maximum experience and accept the Limit Break quest.

"...Damn it!" Before Shinazugawa Sanemi could finish speaking, he was simultaneously blocked behind Iguro Obanai and Himejima Gyomei, pretending nothing had happened.

In fact, Chu Wuji was well aware of the reason for Shinazugawa Sanemi's malice towards him; it was simply that he didn't want to believe that anyone could still have rationality after becoming a demon.

His mother had once turned into a demon and attacked him and his younger brother before being killed by Sanemi Shinazugawa.

If maintaining rationality requires sufficient emotion, is it because their mother didn't love them brothers enough?

If the mother was actually capable of maintaining her sanity, then he killed her with his own hands.

Neither answer was acceptable to Sanemi Shinazugawa.

But what does this have to do with Chu Wuji?

The NPC's backstory is just that; it's not a reason for you to attack players.

After looking around again and seeing that no one else was saying anything, Chu Wuji turned around and said, "Well then, we'll meet again someday."

"Wait a minute!" Shinobu Kocho, who had been keeping her head down and not saying a word, suddenly spoke.
