The boar headed demon slayer was coming for the attack with his dual nichirin swords but the drum demon retaliated by tapping one of his tsuzumi, causing the room to turn sideways evading the attack, this caused Teruko to fall and land hard on the upside-down ceiling. Nezuko instructed her to hold on to furniture but she was hit by the masked slayer who was using Nezuko as a springboard.

'What are you doing?! Focus on the enemy!' Nezuko said annoyed by the stranger's reckless attacks.

The demon then taped his drum twice spinning the room right-side up again wich made Teruko land on the floor where the masked slayer stepped on her,who was finding enjoyment in the rotating rooms, seeing this Nezuko angrirly grabbed the pig head's leg and flung him away and cursing him for hurting a little girl.

'Ha Ha Ha no one has ever thrown me like that before...you're tough for a girl....let's fight and see who the strongest one is....Ha Ha Ha!!!!' said the boar headed slayer as he charged at Nezuko and attacked her with his swords.

'Why is he challenging me? isn't he a member of the demon slayer corps ' though Nezuko as she backed away wondering why she was being challenged by her fellow demon slayer.

The stranger just told her that his swords will hurt as they rip flesh to his liking. Nezuko tried to remind him of the threat of the demon but he charged at her regardless. Infuriated by their presence the drum demon taped the tsuzumi on his stomach causing giant claw marks to slice in front of Nezuko and the masked slayer.

The demon began his attack, rotating the rooms simultaneously!, as she was spinning Nezuko noticed a pattern between the tsuzumis and their respective movements but just as she started to get used to them, the demon uttered something, causing the rooms to change instead!......Losing track of the demon in a new room. Nezuko suddenly detected the presence of multiple demons within the mansion and then she detected the presence of blood, she opened a nearby door and looked into the hallway where she found a corpse.

'Just fallow me and don't look back ' Nezuko said to Teruko as she lead the girl in another direction. Nezuko was shocked and horrified to find another life lost and she made sure that Teruko didn't see the dead and mutilated remains of the deceased victim, she didn't want the child to suffer even more trauma.

While making their way down the hall. Nezuko had detected a new presence, she opened the door and she had found the childrens missing older brother holding a tsuzumi.

Elsewhere with Zenitsu and Shoichi

Zenitsu was holding Shoichi's hand as they walked through the dark hallways. Zenitsu was absolutely terrified and on edge and he was startled when Shoichi asked him a question. Zenitsu angrirly scolded the boy for causing him a fright and for not signaling when he was about to speak, claiming that he would be branded a murder for causing Zenitsu's heart to leap out of his mouth.

Shoichi grew tired of dealing with Zenitsu's cowardice, and he pointed out that Zenitsu has been shivering and sweating for some time now, the boy also said that Zenitsu's fear was making him nervous as well.

'Ahhh be quiet what if a demon hears us!' Zenitsu yelled frightened, he then began apologizing to Shoichi reminding him that their yells could draw in the attention of demons, only for Shoichi to suddenly look up at something behind Zenitsu. Fear and panic fulled Zenitsu's heart as he saw a demon approaching. He was an ugly looking demon with a creepy long tongue and he was excited to see Zenitsu and Shoichi......they ran away but the monster gave chase.
