An ordinary Demon Hunter probably would have thought nothing of an old man like this. Even a cautious one would never have imagined how terrifying he truly was.
But Tetsu no Sosuke was different...
He recognized this fellow.
Hantengu!!
One of the Upper Ranks, with bizarre abilities.
His current appearance was merely a disguise. He had four major clones, while his true body was tiny, with a neck so hard it could even chip the edge of a Nichirin Blade.
It was him?
An Upper Moon was actually involved in this operation!
Tetsu no Sosuke took a deep breath. Rather than rushing to attack, he called for his Kasugai Crow.
The Kasugai Crow landed on his shoulder. "Have the Hidden notify everyone on the mountain to prepare to evacuate. The one who set fire to the fifth outpost may also be an Upper Moon. Don't confront them head-on."
He doubted he would have enough time to deal with the opponent before him and then hurry to the fifth outpost.
This opponent would not be as easy to handle as he might have imagined.
Once he had finished giving his instructions, the Kasugai Crow took to the sky.
No one stopped the Kasugai Crow. The old man was equally wary when he saw Tetsu no Sosuke.
The Demon from earlier was different. He had become a Demon too recently to know much about either the Demon Slayer Corps or Tetsu no Sosuke.
But Hantengu knew.
He knew exactly who Tetsu no Sosuke was.
This man had planned one operation after another, slaying Upper Moon after Upper Moon.
In the battle at the Hammer Hut alone, two Upper Moons had been lost. Had Akaza not broken through his limits and returned to life,
they would have lost half of the Upper Moons.
