Now that Shinobu Kocho was an Elite Swordsman, she naturally led teams on missions as well.
Her two teammates were both female swordsmen who had studied medicine at the Butterfly Mansion for a time.
Yes, while recuperating.
In a sense, they could also be considered an independent medical squad within the Demon Slayer Corps.
Of course, when it came to carrying out demon-slaying missions, they never held back.
That day, while on a mission, they received an urgent call for help delivered by a Kasugai Crow.
A demon skilled at using poison had appeared in Tottori Prefecture.
It was not particularly powerful, but every member of the previous squad sent to deal with it had been poisoned.
They were barely holding on.
Naturally, Shinobu Kocho's squad, being the closest and possessing extensive experience in medicine and poison techniques, was dispatched first.
By the time they arrived, their fellow corps members were on the verge of being slaughtered.
Shinobu Kocho held nothing back.
She instantly overwhelmed the demon at a speed it could not react to at all.
The poisons it used.
Were all created through its Blood Demon Art.
They were rigid, unchanging poisons.
Yet the demon was incapable of neutralizing any of the [Five Poisons] she had specially developed.
In a single exchange.
The demon collapsed, never to rise again, its life completely extinguished.
Had Xia Xi been there, he would have discovered that Shinobu Kocho's Energy Level had already reached 146.
Normally, that should have placed her within the category of [Senior Swordsman].
But no one else possessed Xia Xi's ability to view numerical values directly.
After she repeatedly used her poison techniques to slay demons above her level.
Everyone naturally took it for granted that she possessed the strength of an Elite Swordsman.
"Lady Shinobu, you're here."
