A woman runs away as she is chased by some unkown enteities. The sound of crazed laughter is not far behind. She turns momentarily to see 6 sets of eyes chasing her , she runs into an opening thinking its a way for her escape .
She gets there to see a man standing there , completely still , though a demon slayer herself she is scared of this man. He seems human but has the heavy esence of death around him
He was just standing there , menacingly. Even the demons who were chasing her earlier had stood still , shaking in fear. He then glanced at them. The heavy burden if his gaze fell on them , bringing everyone to their knees , this was the gaze of a true emperor. A true soverign , thats all she could describe.
He then suddenly spoke
???- You all smell of blood , you the woman doesnt but the rest, you bear the same scent of blood i have grown familiar with. I shall partake my duty and put down your kind again
He then suddenly vanished and the grass around the woman was covered in blood, the demons? dead , the man ? vanished
Time skip
Mitsuri will never forget that day or man , where she for the first time in her life felt true fear
???- hey mitsuri lets go , master oyokata has summoned us
Mitsuri- y-yes Shinobu, i am coming
The two girls then proceeded to the big mansion where the leader of the demon slayer corps lived
They reached and bowed to their leader
Both- We wish you a healthy life , oyakata sama
Oyakata sama- Thank you for the blessings my daughters
Both- Why have you summoned us oyakta -sama
Oyakata sama- For the recent months , someone or something has been killing demons
Kanae- Thats a good thing right?
Oyakata sama- yes but the way the demons die is rather strange, they dont disentigrate like the do , their bodies are still present and they have huge slashes marks on their bodies , with some of their bones broken and brutally killed. As is the one who killed them has been doing this for many decades. Your aim is to investigate these killings , the latest killings were near mt.sagiri, I have informed the retired hashira about this , but i am yet to receive any replies regarding that matter
Mitsuri- we shall leave immediately oyakata sama
Oyakata sama- very well
