A group of bizarrely shaped demons had surrounded Kochō Shinobu. The leader was a short female demon with small horns on her head and the words "Lower Rank" and "Four" written in her eyes.
The Lower Rank Four, with Koyuki.
Is that all?
Kochō Shinobu chuckled softly and charged forward, sword in hand.
Tomioka Giyuu and Tanjiro walked through a maze-like corridor, where every few steps led to a new room.
"Bang!"
A thunderous drumbeat rang out, and instantly, the room was overturned.
At the entrance, a gigantic demon appeared, carrying six small drums on its back.
Kaigai the Lower Rank Six.
Beside him was Rui, the Lower Rank Five, and a vast, surging tide of demons.
"Lower Rank Five and Lower Rank Six? We can handle them."
Tomioka Giyuu, with a cold expression, drew his Nichirin Blade from his waist along with Tanjiro beside him.
Meanwhile, the other pillars also faced their respective opponents.
The Tokito Brothers faced off against the Lower Rank Two's Rokuro and the Lower Rank Three's Yahaba, respectively.
These Lower Rank demons are relatively easy to deal with.
However, the Upper Rank Demon are much more difficult to defeat.
"Senior Serpent Hashira..."
"You don't need to call me senpai anymore, just call me... Iguro."
"Yes, Mr. Iguro."
Iguro Obanai felt that the title was still a bit too formal.
Kanroji Mitsuri nodded and gripped the ribbon-like Nichirin Blade in her hand.
She is the only Demon Slayer Corps member who is not a Pillar but possesses a weapon custom-made by Tetsujin Kawahara Teijo.
This is naturally due to her strength.
She was born with muscles eight times denser than an average person, and was agile. She also created a new Love Breathing. Her treatment within the Demon Slayer Corps was quite special. Currently, she already possesses the strength of a Pillar, but she has not yet killed fifty demons or defeated the Twelve Kizuki, so she has not yet become a Pillar.
"Careful..."
Iguro Obanai suddenly reached out and blocked Kanroji Mitsuri.
Directly in front of them appeared a female ghost with disheveled hair, holding a pipa.
This is Nakime Upper Rank Six Moon, who was promoted to the Upper Rank.
Upper Rank Demon and ordinary Lower Rank demons are on completely different levels.
However, Iguro Obanai had a feeling that the Upper Rank Demon posed less of a threat to him than he had imagined.
Is it because I have mastered the Transparent World?
Iguro Obanai thought.
At the same time.
Another location within the Infinite Castle.
"What a joke, why... why would I die in a place like this!"
A golden Nichirin Blade lay broken on the ground, and Kaigaku's entire body was bound by strips of red ribbons, rendering him unable to move.
"Let me go, let me go! Please, I don't want to die, I can become a ghost too!"
Kaigaku's face was filled with a desire to survive as he stared at Daki in front of him.
He is probably the most unique person in the Demon Slayer Corps. His reason for joining the Demon Slayer Corps was simply to obtain stronger power so that he could better survive.
In order to survive, he could also become a ghost.
"Is that so? But unfortunately, Lord Muzan Kibutsuji's orders to us are to kill every swordsman in the Demon Slayer Corps. Normally, I might recommend you to Lord Muzan Kibutsuji, but now, you can only obediently become my food."
With a seductive smile on her face, Daki extended her slender fingers, lifted Kaigaku's chin, and licked her sexy lips.
Special letter enthusiasts might enjoy this scene, but for Kaigaku, it was a hellish scene.
"Ah!"
After the screams, there was a continuous gnawing sound.
Two minutes later, when Uzui Tengen arrived after receiving a message from Kaigaku's Kasugai Crow, all he saw was a shattered golden Nichirin Blade and Daki standing on a pool of blood, licking her lips in remembrance.
"Am I late? But as for Upper Rank Demon, I'm quite interested in killing one."
Uzui Tengen gripped the black and gold twin swords behind him, his eyes filled with a dangerous glint.
"Uchiha Meikyō! Uchiha Meikyō! The Oyakata-sama has sent a message: Lower Rank One has appeared to the right front! Lower Rank One has appeared to the right front! Proceed to provide support immediately!"
A Kasugai Crow with a talisman on its forehead soared through the air, sending a message to the Meikyō, before quickly disappearing again.
This is Yushiro's Blood Demon Art, Blinding Eye. It not only allows him to become invisible but also to create illusions. Most importantly, it allows him to share the vision of different creatures.
Currently, Ubuyashiki Kagaya is at the Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters, where, with the help of Yushiro, he commands the Demon Slayer Corps by sharing the vision of each Kasugai Crow and draws a map of the Infinite Castle.
He also receives protection from the Former Water Hashira Urokodaki Sakonji, the Former Flame Hashira Rengoku Shinjuro, and the Former Sound Hashira Kuwanjima Jigoro.
If this operation fails, these three former Pillars will assist the Oyakata clan in rebuilding the Demon Slayer Corps.
"Lower Rank One? I see."
Following the direction indicated by Meikyō -Kasugai Crow, Meikyo found the Lower Rank One, the Dream Demon, Enmu, who had hypnotized several Demon Slayer Corps members.
"Oh? A Pillar? I wonder if if I kill you, Muzan Kibutsuji will promote me to the Upper Rank."
A sickly smile appeared on Enmu's pale face as she tried to pull Meikyō into the illusion.
"Huh? Why is it not working?"
Enmu was somewhat bewildered after failing to cast Enmu Blood Demon Art.
"Oh? Trying to pull me into an illusion? A good idea, but unfortunately, you've chosen the wrong target."
Meikyō smiled disdainfully at Enmu.
With his innate strong Mental Power and the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, how could he possibly be afraid of this level of mental attack?
"I am a hospitable person who believes in reciprocity. Why don't you try to fall into my Genjutsu?"
Uchiha Meikyō's eyes widened, revealing his scarlet Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
"Magic Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique!"
Enmu felt himself being pulled into a crimson world. The moon in the sky had the same Three Tomoe pattern as the Sharingan Meikyō, and he himself was bound to a huge cross.
Huge iron nails pierced his body, causing him endless pain.
Fortunately, this pain did not last too long.
The violent consciousness of the Muzan's Cells within him quickly awakened him.
The experience of this Genjutsu may seem long, but in the outside world it only took a single breath.
If it's Upper Rank Demon, the time will be even shorter. In fact, if it's an Upper Rank three demon like Akaza or Doma, who have strong Mental Power and a higher content of Muzan's Cells in their bodies, even if Meikyō uses Genjutsu, he can only gain a good opportunity to attack.
