A Demon King Through The Worlds

After a little planning regarding the "Hashira Decapitation Plan", Daki eagerly stood up and began preparing to perform the dance in the most exquisite way possible.

With a fan in each hand, she began to dance with slow, elegant movements. A custom dance created by herself.

Giving small turns from time to time, Daki began to hum as well, partly fulfilling the need for musical accompaniment.

The oirans were masters in the art of seduction, but their skill went far beyond the sexual aspect. They mastered diverse forms of entertainment, from delicate dance that flowed like a moving painting to music that enchanted the most discerning ears. The poetry they recited was like a whisper of emotions, and the handwriting they mastered was an expression of their elegance and refinement.

Every gesture, every movement of the oirans was carefully planned to convey grace and beauty, captivating those who watched them. Their dances were not simply aimed at carnal excitement, but rather at admiration for the skill and talent they possessed. It was a spectacle that transcended simple physical pleasure.

Lucian then took a sip from his cup of tea, before stopping, turning to the table next to him and looking at the teapot in confusion.

'Since when has this been here?'

But he soon left that issue aside.

After all, demons are not very logical beings, they grow and retract extra arms at will, they place entire people inside small pots, some divide into more others when they are decapitated and others convert with their bands.

So the few minutes that were, at the same time long due to the slowness of the movements, and short due to the beauty of the dancer, during which Lucian enjoyed tea and dancing, ended with Daki performing a subtle bow at the end of his performance.

"It was beautiful!" Lucian commented, praising her.

"Thanks." Daki smiled excitedly, before retreating from the infinite castle, as Lucian would have something to do.

Now being alone Lucian returned to improving his skills.

He raised his hand and stared at her.

His fingers twitched in a normally impossible way, before they intertwined, fused together and then his hand turned into a sharp blade.

Striking, the blade extended from 20 cm to over 1 meter, before retracting and resuming its original shape.

In the next instant, his hand stretched out, transforming into a tentacle with a terrifying mouth full of sharp teeth.

'This power is so convenient' Lucian thought, the ability to change the length of his limbs gave him great advantages in combat, especially for unsuspecting opponents, as well as metamorphosis allowing him to assume the most appropriate form to deal with different circumstances and environments .

For example: if he needed to deal with an opponent who is on higher ground or who has some aerial means, he could generate wings on his back; Or fins in the water.

And after this experimentation regarding [Body Manipulation] ability, he prepared to test a theory.

'Feel the connection…' Lucian concentrated, constantly looking for the "thread" that represented the connection between the creator and his creation.

After firmly holding the "thread" he was looking for, the next step followed.

'Extract the power of blood…'

Lucian was amazed, feeling as if he was diving into a sea of blood. A sea of blood containing kekkijutsu, memories and skills that come from a lifetime of learning from a demon.

It was simply comparable to the Akashic Records. And in his search, he soon found what he was looking for, one could say it was a mark, a mark that is born in the blood of every sufficiently powerful demon, and grants him supernatural abilities. Now he would try to etch one more of those marks into his blood.

Yes, he would try to copy and use another kekkijutsu.

In theory this is more than possible, since all kekkijutsu exist because of the Demon King's blood.

And it is more than proven that it is possible to have more than one kekkijutsu, as demonstrated by Hantengu, even if it is a special situation.

But! Being the Demon King, Lucian's situation is even more special.

And after a few failed attempts, he was successful.

Looking ahead, there it was, a ball of blood magically floated in the air, and then it began to flow, deform, constantly changing shape.

Yes, this was Gyutaro's kekkijutsu, [Blood Manipulation].

'It will be very interesting to use this in combat... Another one I should focus on obtaining is Gyokko's.' Lucian thought, remembering how magical those ceramic pots are.

Teleportation between different pots, creating monsters, and creating and manipulating water.

It's simply all in one.

'Or would it be more efficient to devour him to create a new kekkijutsu based on his?' Lucian reflected before quickly getting the answer: 'It would be the second option.'

Then he slowly walked out of the room, towards Nakime.

He was not worried about facing the same fate as Muzan, who after killing all the Lower Moons and losing Gyutaro, Daki, Gyokko and Hantengu, ended up having to use lower demons to fill the infinite castle and distract the demon slayers. And at the moment none of the slayers have a slayer's mark, so eliminating Gyokko won't make much of a difference, as he isn't even capable of winning in a 1-on-1 fight.

"Nakime, how long has it been?"

"It's been 4 days, sir." Respectfully replied Nakime.

"I understand. Bring Gyokko here." Lucian nodded, realizing how quickly time passed in his concentration, before ordering Nakime.

The sound of the biwa rang, and soon a figure appeared in the infinite castle.

In a similar fashion to the genie in the lamp, there stood Gyokko, with his lower body having an appearance similar to the smoke connecting a ceramic pot and the upper part of his body. His body is full of small, hideous arms, mouths instead of eyes, an eye instead of a mouth and one on his forehead.

'This appearance really is repulsive' Lucian thought before saying, "Your services are no longer needed."

After all, for Lucian, Gyokko would be of greater use becoming a skill. And in his hands this ability would be notable, unlike Gyokko who, even with an army, was unable to completely destroy the blacksmith village.

Then in a similar way to Muzan, his right arm swelled and extended, and with a large mouth opening, it devoured Gyokko, who couldn't even try to escape because Lucian had paralyzed his movements.

Gyokko's body then was quickly assimilated.

Lucian closed his eyes, and began creating this new kekkijtusu. With a gourd appearing in his hand, he knew he had succeeded in his endeavor.

He decided to call it [Demon Gourd Magic], without changing the name pattern too much.

And fulfilling expectations, the gourd presents abilities similar to those of [Ceramic Pot Magic], but changing the theme from sea to blood. His ability includes creating beings, teleportation between gourds, storing objects, and generating blood.

'...Can I make it generate coca-cola?' Lucian laughed inwardly at the idea.

However, even if this is a joke, it is still possible for it to happen in the future.

After all, even if he can buy it, an infinite supply is still better.

And something that will surprise most people, the Coca-Cola soft drink was created in 1886, and the Coca-Cola company has been around since 1892.
