"ASSHOLE WAIT UNTIL I FIND YOU!!!!!!"

  Seething with anger, Muzan roared with all his might

  But before he could finish his words, a Sword suddenly pieced him through the back

  *Pukhh*

  Lowering his head, Muzan looked in shock at the golden-colored blade extending from his chest as it dripped with blood

  *Drip*

  *Drip*

  The demon tried all he could to move and counter-attack, but his body just wouldn't listen to him

  Just after the sword penetrated his body, he lost the ability to move, He couldn't even speak

  Muzan knew that the one who was been playing with him had finally appeared, but he didn't expect things to turn out like this

  "Well, Well, Well, What do we have here...The Demon Progenitor himself...Kibutsuji Muzan"

  Hearing the voice full of sarcasm behind him, Muzan wished he could move so he could torture the guy, then he would give him a very slow death

  His hatred for Lorien had reached an unbelievable level, For someone as arrogant as Muzan, what had just happened is a complete nightmare

  "Hmmm...You look angry, This is not good for your health, But it doesn't matter, Soon, You won't have to worry about such things"

  "You know, I wanted to play a bit more with you, After all, Rarely do I find such a good...Toy"

  "Hahahaha!"

  *Cough*

  *Cough*

  Coughing lightly, Lorien stopped his laughter and continued speaking

  "But sadly, If I were to do so, Some of the Hashiras outside may die, So I have to end things early today..."

  "I apologize for that!"

  "Anyways, Good Bye"

  As he said that, Muzan's body started disappearing slowly as if getting *Snapped* out of existence

  "That's it for today!"

  Looking at where Muzan had previously stood, Lorien shook his head and then turned his attention to the Infinity Castle that also started fading

  As a consequence of Muzan's death, All other demons he created also met their demise, which of course meant that their blood demon arts will also vanish

  The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

  Sitting down, Lorien restored his sword to its ring form and then started recovering his Source Energy

  Such large-scale 'Illusions' took a lot of effort which is also one of the reasons why Lorien didn't continue toying with Muzan

  After all, let's not forget that Lorien is still unable to Warp/Alter things he isn't touching, and the way he actually achieved what he had just done is by warping the air around him

  This may sound like a good solution, but it has a very bad drawback, which is the Energy cost

  Right now, Lorien's Energy reserves have nearly reached rock bottom

  This is the first time Lorien has ever used his ability to fight in such a way

  Usually, he would fight in an upright manner, this is mostly to test the results of his swordsmanship training and how far he had improved

  This time, he tried another way, from the moment Muzan entered the Demon Slayer HQ he fell into an illusion

  The way Lorien makes illusions is by affecting reality and not the victim, so it is virtually impossible to discover that something is amiss

  And that's why even when Muzan spoke for so long with 'Kagaya' which was actually just 'Air', He didn't discover anything, This was also true when he fought those 'ghosts'

  At the time, Lorien was in a 'Dream' state making him unable to be touched not seen as he didn't forget to add a layer of invisibility to himself

  Doing so, he watched and manipulated everything just a few meters away

  As for the last attack, it was a simple "[Reality: Freeze all movements]" followed by a "[Dream/Reality: Erase]"

  But the most unfortunate demon was actually 'Nakime', the one who controlled the Infinity Castle

  This infinity caste isn't an independent construction created by her ability, it is actually a part of that demon's body

  So the moment Lorien set foot in it, It was like he was inside her body, which gave him direct contact with her, This is something he of course knew and expected

  So, the moment they were thrown inside this space, Lorien used his ability causing Nakime to instantly lose the ability to do anything, this lasted until the moment she died

  Looking around, Lorien found out that he was back at the location they previously were at before entering the Infinity castle

  This Inner yard looked a bit dilapidated because of Muzan's previous attacks, but Lorien didn't care about this as he walked toward one of the rooms and sat down

  Right now, He was waiting for Kagaya and the other demon slayers to come and find him

  Now that his part of the deal has been 'delivered', Lorien wants to talk to them about their part

  Even though he knew that it was very unlikely that Kagaya will fall back on his promise considering his personality, But he still wanted to make things clear and make some arrangements for the future

  And thankfully Kagaya didn't let him wait for long as he soon arrived

  "Hhaahhaah!"

  "Thank you! Thank you!"

  As soon as he did, Kagaya immediately fell to his knees and started thanking Lorien

  Seeing this, the latter quickly helped him

  "Huh? Your...."

  "Yes! My Curse has been lifted! And not only mine! Even my children's"

  "Hhaahha!"

  "A THOUSAND YEARS! FINALLY! IT'S FINALLY OVER!"

  Soon after, the demon slayers arrived, they were many in number as other than the Hashiras there were other lower-ranked members

  "Lord! The demons suddenly died on their own! Is it?!"

  "Is he dead?!"

  "Is Muzan Dead???!!"

  Different from Kagata who could easily tell that Muzan was dead because of the disappearance of the curse, those demon slayers couldn't determine this

  So hearing these questions, Kagaya looked at the excited demon hunters and declared

  "YES! He is dead! It is finally over!"

  This statement caused a swift reaction by the demon slayer as they started celebrating

  "AHAHA!!"

  "FINAALLYY!"

  "HAHAHAH! DEAD! DEADD!"

  They have been working tirelessly for this, blood and tears, friends and family members gone, never to be seen again, just to achieve this dream

  And now that it is finally there, many couldn't believe it, so even felt that they are just dreaming and are about to wake up any time now

  Seeing this, Lorien didn't want to destroy the moment, so he nodded to Kagaya and left them alone for now to celebrate

  'Guess I'll wait until they finish, Let them celebrate'
