Demon slayer: Breath Of The Eclipse

Chapter Twenty Six: New Mission

Nezuko and Kanao were facing each other again in the reflx test, the match was now very close with Tanjiro, Zenitsu and Inosuke noting their incredible speed. Kanao was able to edge out a win by grabbing her cup before Nezuko could block it.

'Your speed is incredible!' Praised Nezuko as Aoi finished the test, Kanao's speed was truly amazing.

'Alright Nezuko you now have ten wins and ten losses' declared Aoi. But despite this Nezuko claimed that she was not done yet and asked her brother and her friends if they could run with her while maintaining Total Concentration Breathing, every one was excited except for Zenitsu who was reluctant.

A Few Months Ago In The Dimensional Infinite Fortress

In a distorted space fulled with rooms stood the lower Moon Six. He was summoned here by a Biwa, and as the demon wondered whare he is, the Lower Moon One and Lower Moon Two appeared in the space with him.

The Lower Moon Six wondered if being summoned was the Blood Demon Art of the demon woman in the center of the space, wich was a seemingly infinitely large fortress. Lower Moon Six saw that both Lower Moon Three and Lower Moon Four were also present as well, he now realized that only the Lower Ranks have been summoned which had never happened before, he also wondered why Lower Moon Five isn't here.

_____________________________

At the strum of the Biwa Demon, the Lower Ranks were placed on the floor before her and another demoness. As Lower Six wondered who she was, the woman commanded them to bow down and kneel in a familiar, threatening voice. Instantly the demons bowed down before her, with Lower Moon Six suddenly realizing that the demon woman was actually Muzan Kibutsuji, who had masked his appearance and aura.

Lower Moon Four apologized on the demons behalf for mistaking him.

'Who gave you permission to speak!' said Muzan in a cold threatening tone before he continued speaking.

'Rui has been killed by non other than Kokushibo's son! ' said Muzan angerily, he was disgusted at how weak the Lower Moons are, being a member of the Twelve Kizuke wasn't enough, it was a only the beginning of becoming more powerful and it was the starting point where they can be useful to him.

For over a century the Upper Ranks have not changed and only they have been successful at killing Hashiras, yet the Lower Ranks continued to change and get replaced very frequently.

The Lower Moons were terrified, their demon king was furious, what was Lord Muzan going to do with them?. All of a sudden Muzan pierced the the Lower Moons necks, stabing them in their Carotid Artery, injecting them with his blood. The Lower Moon Demons could feel themselves growing stronger.....they could feel their master's blood coursing through their vanes.

'Who ever brings me the head of Kokushibo's son will be rewarded with more of my blood' said Muzan, he knew that the demons might not withstand, but if they survive then the Lower Moons will become more powerful and useful to him.

Then with the strums of the Biwa Demon, the fortress space shifts, transporting Muzan to the surface and manipulating numerous doors to drop the Lower Moons in an unknown town. The demons suddenly saw something as Muzan's blood continues to change them, a vision of Kokushibo's son Tanjiro, and then they heard their master's voice inside their heads.
