Demon Slayer Manga Chapter 169

Jealousy makes patient poison. Michikatsu abandons his wife, children, and position to join the Demon Slayer Corps beside Yoriichi, chasing his brother’s back with every swing. When his own mark finally awakens, joy curdles into terror, because marked slayers are said to die by twenty five.

With death counting down above him, Michikatsu listens when Muzan offers eternity. He accepts demon blood and trades his name, his family, and his humanity for endless years to perfect his sword. Demon Slayer Chapter 169 closes the door on the man and leaves only Kokushibo standing.
