Demon Slayer: Muzan, will you dance too?

Muzan gave the Lower Moons a death order: if the Ubuyashiki lineage cannot be completely eradicated this time, then the Lower Moons have no reason to exist.

After repeated failures, Muzan, whose patience was wearing thin, could no longer tolerate his subordinates' incompetence and decided to give them one last chance.

There was no room for negotiation, and the Lower Moons couldn't even refuse—Muzan, the boss, didn't forcibly promote two Lower Moons to fill the vacancy in the Upper Moons.

But if it satisfies him, Muzan wouldn't mind giving away more demon blood.

As long as they can withstand it, they can naturally become upper-level warps.

Even if you only rank last, both your strength and status will be significantly improved.

Unlike the perfunctory Zero, Nightmare, ranked first among the Lower Moons, appeared quite proactive.

It desires more ghost blood and has an extreme worship of the progenitor of evil spirits—it would feel incredibly honored even to be killed by that person.

Faced with the assigned task, it wanted to do it perfectly and was not satisfied with killing some ordinary team members. Its first target was a boy wearing special earrings. As long as it killed this boy, it could please that person.

Even after doing this much, it still cannot satisfy it.

It also wants to hunt down the Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps!

To obtain more blood, to become stronger, and to get closer to that great one.

Tanjiro and the other two little ones were caught completely off guard when they encountered Lower Moon One.

It's worth mentioning that because Muzan didn't hold a layoff meeting, he didn't receive as much blood as he did in the next world, so his strength is somewhat inferior to that of the original world.

However, the three little ones didn't know what this person's Blood Demon Art was, and the moment they came into contact with it, they, along with the ordinary team members around them, were all affected.

The problem cannot be blamed on Kiyokawa Izumi.

To be honest, he didn't expect that while attracting the Upper Moons, he would also attract a group of Lower Moons.

He couldn't say for sure what specific abilities some of the Lower Moons possessed, because the original world hadn't given these Lower Moons the opportunity to demonstrate them.

Utterly disappointed, the boss Muzan initiated a layoff meeting, and after a brutal massacre, only the next one was spared.

This character's behavior differed from the other Lower Moons; he showed no fear or begged for mercy, only feeling honored to be killed by Muzan. This fearless attitude in the face of death piqued the interest of the scumbag boss.

On the other hand, even with the enhancements, this one is still far from reaching the threshold of Upper Moon, and is no match for Daki.

In other words, we don't have the manpower to deal with it right now.

Shigen is facing Gyokko, and with his intelligence advantage, he won't be defeated in just a few moves like some unnamed Mist Pillar.

But expecting this player to quickly determine the winner is unrealistic.

The solid string in its blank state is not strong enough to instantly kill the top string.

The support pillars couldn't possibly arrive on the battlefield in just a few breaths.

Depending on the distance and speed, the arrival time will vary.

As for the Stone Pillar, he must defeat Hantengu as soon as possible.

The reason why we can't delay is simple—an even more powerful and domineering aura is being released without any concealment, as if telling them openly, "I, one of the Upper Moon One, am here."

Kiyokawa Izumi, who won the grand prize, must keep this person occupied.

If he is the first to give up, and the battle with the Stone Pillar is not over yet, the situation will become extremely bad, and a complete defeat is imminent.

If Kiyokawa Izumi can't stop Upper Moon One, how long can the Stone Pillar or the Wind Pillar hold out in a one-on-one fight?

Not to mention, they also have their own enemies to deal with.

Once the upper struts meet, where can a single pillar possibly hold up?

The pillars that arrive later will be like the Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather—they will not be able to play a significant role and will die meaninglessly.

Both the rock pillar and the wind pillar were eager to finish the battle quickly and get to Kiyokawa Izumi's side as soon as possible.

……

Is it fortunate or unfortunate?

Kiyokawa Izumi's mood at this moment was much calmer than she had imagined.

He had no choice, and he couldn't just turn around and run away, abandoning the two pillars of wind and rock.

All we can do is stall this person.

Long ago, he had a premonition that neither Muzan nor Kokushibo could be avoided.

No longer concealing her presence, Kiyokawa Izumi openly declared war—the pillar you're looking for is right here.

At the same time, the powerful and vigorous fighting spirit that erupted from Kokushibo in an instant drew attention.

"Is it him?"

With shared memories, Kokushibo naturally recognized Kiyokawa Izumi.

Originally planning to leave, it decided to wait here for a while.

Not far in front of him, several ordinary swordsmen unfortunately encountered him. Before they could even draw their Nichirin Blades, they were instantly killed by Kokushibo without even having time to react.

Just then, an unexpected voice begged for mercy.

"This isn't the Demon Slayer Corps' headquarters... I know where the real headquarters is!"
