He didn't know how. Kamanue (lower six) really didn't know how, but he had managed to escape Muzan, the demon king. It all had happened so fast afterall. Though, Muzan did manage to bite off and arm and half of his face, in which, had healed after a while.

After that, he had watched them all die, one by one, within the demon king's hands. Except for lower one, who had received more of Muzan's blood instead. He kept watching until Muzan left, while lower one fell through a door and disappeared.

-----

Even if he escaped the king, for as long as he's still stuck in whatever this distorted place he's in, his freedom is only temporary. He hasn't been able to find an exit nor has he even been able to find the biwa demon lady. She's most definitely the only one who can open an exit. Even so, Kamanue doubts she'd set him free. Afterall, his punishment was suppose to result in his death and yet here he is still standing with his two legs.

Kamanue doesn't want to take anymore risks, so he had chosen to simply walk around the distorted palace. He kept walking, and walking for what felt like hours. Surely he can find the exit on his own, right??

Wrong. He's been exploring for who knows how long. Probably days or weeks or even months. Kamanue thinks he's been wasting too much time. It probably won't be long until he arrives.

No, no, that man still hasn't returned yet. I still have time–

The sound of a strum from the biwa instantly interrupted his thoughts.

Shit.

He stays still in the small room he recently entered, not daring to peek out even a little bit.

It stayed like that for a while, the sounds from the biwa kept coming until he heard voices. Voices of those he had never heard of before.

Kamanue was scared, yes, but he wanted to know who else got summoned into the palace, so he slowly and quietly peaked his head from the doorway. What he saw were obviously demons because of their appearances. Just as he was observing them, the pink haired demon shattered a demon with rainbow eyes' bottom jaw with one swift motion of his arm.

The action made Kamanue slightly flinch. Though, he still observed them. He could hear them talking but couldn't make out the words they were saying.

That's when they suddenly stopped and looked up. He looked at where they were looking, then felt his eyes widen and fear rise within him.

It was him. The demon king, his lordship.

"Gyuutaro is dead. The upper moons have waned" he heard Muzan said. So the upper moons were summoned..

As much curiosity Kamanue had about the upper moons, he wanted to prioritize his survival first, so he quietly slipped back into his hiding spot. He might as well wait until they all finish and leave before continuing whatever he was doing before.

--------

It probably has been about 10 minutes or so, Kamanue doesn't know. He can't really tell the time in the palace.
So, without a second thought, he peaked his head out a little again, only to have the first thing he sees is Muzan releasing one of the upper moon's head and letting drop onto the floor. It reminded him of the time when Muzan beheaded lower three and threw his head in front of lower one and two. The memory made him shiver.

"From now on, you all are to serve me with utter suicidal devotion. I seem to have spoiled all of you too much due to the mere fact that you're all upper moons." The demon king said with agitation in his voice.

"Gyokko, if you can confirm the information you have gathered, head over there with Hantengu–"

"Muzan-sama, pardon my interruption, but it seems like someone has been watching us the entire time." The biwa lady spoke.
