Chapter 100 No-Cooldown "Spatial Shuttle"
[Killed Upper Moon Five, gained 600 experience points.]
A system notification sounded in his mind.
"600 experience points, only 200 more than Nakime."
Aoki sighed inwardly.
Sure enough, it wasn't that Nakime wasn't strong enough, but rather that his current strength and level were too high, significantly reducing experience gains.
However,
there was no need to worry.
At this rate, the demons in this world would be more than enough to support him reaching the maximum level.
Aoki closed the system.
Compared to the experience gain, he was actually more concerned about the changes to "Spatial Shuttle" this time.
After carefully sensing it for a while, Aoki's eyes gradually brightened.
This time, the changes to "Spatial Shuttle" weren't significant, at least not as obvious as the sudden appearance of a different dimension after absorbing Nakime.
However, its importance was no less.
Simply put, it greatly simplified the activation process of "Spatial Shuttle."
To put it more directly, there was no cooldown time.
The so-called cooldown time for "Spatial Shuttle" was actually the skill's activation time.
As his intelligence and mental strength increased, his control over "Spatial Travel" improved, and his thinking speed also increased, significantly reducing the cooldown time of "Spatial Travel."
Compared to when he first learned "Spatial Travel," it was reduced by more than half.
However, recently, with further increases in intelligence, the reduction in the cooldown time of "Spatial Travel" has become increasingly smaller.
If initially 1 point of intelligence could reduce the cooldown time by 0.1 seconds, now 1 point of intelligence can only reduce it by 0.01 seconds, or even less.
The relatively complex activation process of "Spatial Travel" meant that the "cooldown time" could not be reduced indefinitely.
However, after absorbing the jade pot this time, the activation process of "Spatial Travel" was greatly simplified, becoming almost instinctive, directly solving the problem at its root.
Of course.
Strictly speaking, "space travel" still can't be considered instantaneous.
Especially when activated continuously, there will still be a certain interval.
After all, his thought reaction speed is limited.
It's impossible to achieve infinite teleportation.
However, this is his problem, not a problem with "space travel."
Aoki carefully sensed it for a while longer.
Not only "space travel," but also "space imprint travel" and "entering and exiting other dimensions" have been optimized.
This is not surprising.
"Space travel" is the foundation, and the spatial imprint only provides a special coordinate.
As for other dimensions, the process of entering and exiting is actually a "space travel."
Although the experience given by Gyokko was not much, its contribution was first-rate. Among the Upper Moon demons he killed, it should be second only to Akaza and could rival Doma.
In the future, when defeating Muzan Kibutsuji, Aoki will remember his contribution.
Shinobu Kochō curiously looked at Aoki.
She had heard from her sister that Aomura Kazuhiko's strength would improve significantly after each time he devoured a demon, but she did not feel it this time.
She wondered if Gyokko was too weak.
Aoki looked up and found Shinobu Kochō staring straight at him.
"What's wrong?"
Shinobu Kochō glanced at his back and asked with interest, "Aomura Kazuhiko, what happened to the wings before?"
"My attention was all on the jewel pot before, and I didn't care about this little thing. Now that the matter is resolved, her curiosity has suddenly resurfaced.
"Aoki said, "As a demon, it's quite reasonable for him to grow wings,
isn't it?"
"Reasonable?" Shinobu asked.
Aoki nodded: "I think it's quite reasonable!"
Shinobu glared at him, no longer dwelling on the issue of wings.
"What should we do next?"
Aoki asked. "You should know more about this than I do, right?"
He always just killed without bothering to bury the dead.
"Oh right!"
Shinobu Kochō snapped out of her reverie. She
'd only been a bystander in this operation and was still a bit disoriented.
She thought for a moment, "Let's investigate if any other villages have been attacked!"
Not just because of Gyokko, but also to confirm if there were any other demons nearby.
"I'm sure there aren't any in the area I've searched," Aoki said.
The two walked forward.
Shinobu Kochō said, "Upper Moon Five is dead too, which means only Upper Moon One and Upper Moon Four are left. I wonder if Muzan Kibutsuji will promote a new Upper Moon?"
"Not so easy," Aoki shook his head.
In the original story, after Gyutaro, Gyokko, and Hantengu were killed, Muzan Kibutsuji only found two replacements: Nakime and Kaigaku. Kaigaku
was instantly killed by Zenitsu, and his strength was only about that of a Lower Moon; it's uncertain whether he could even compare to Daki.
This was partly due to Kaigaku's recent ascension to demonhood and his unfamiliarity with his new power.
But it's also clear that his strength isn't that great; he only became an Upper Moon because Muzan had no other options.
"That's good! This way, Muzan will soon be all alone!"
Shinobu's eyes crinkled, almost bursting into laughter.
The people in that village were pitiful, but having witnessed so much death, she knew she had to move forward.
Dwelling on sorrow would only hold her back.
Aoki remained silent.
Muzan wouldn't feel lonely without his kind.
In his heart, he alone was enough for the immortal, eternal ones.
However, Gyokko's death would likely still enrage him.
Only two Upper Moons remained.
The Twelve Demon Moons system was completely finished.
...
At the foot of the mountain stood a small wooden hut.
Firewood was piled high outside.
Clearly, it was a woodcutter's home.
It was late at night, but the hut's door was wide open, and crimson blood flowed from inside, drawing a gruesome trail in the yard.
Inside the room, three people lay piled on top of each other, covered in blood, lifeless.
A pale-faced young man with crimson eyes stood in the doorway, holding a burly man in his arms. Strands of blood seeped from his fingers, and the burly man's expression quickly contorted into a ferocious grimace.
"Gyokko is dead!"
Muzan Kibutsuji said expressionlessly. "Knowing he was no match, he still provoked him. Foolish! He deserved to die!"
He no longer held any expectations for these demons.
If one day they were all dead, he wouldn't be surprised.
"A teleportation token… is this how he entered the Infinite Castle? I wonder if it can be used in reverse… no, that's not the point. The key is to find a way to counter teleportation abilities!"
Bang!
A soft thud suddenly echoed in the room.
Muzan Kibutsuji snapped out of his reverie and looked up.
While he was pondering, too much blood had been poured into the man's arms, exceeding his limits, and his body had collapsed.
"If you can't even withstand this much blood, even if you become a demon, you're still trash."
Tossing the twisted corpse aside, Muzan Kibutsuji turned and left without a second thought.
He needed demons capable of overcoming the sun and demons that could counter teleportation abilities, not this kind of trash.
