Muzan started in a cold and angry tone, “Rui got killed. He was Lower Moon 5.” He’s blood started to boil, his veins showing on his face.

“I only have one thing to ask. Why are the Lower Demon Moons so damn weak?”

The Lower Demons moon kept quiet, cold sweat dripping down their foreheads due to the anxiety, fear and pressure they felt under Their Lord’s glare.

“Just because they say that you’re part of the 12 Demon Moons doesn’t mean that it’s over. It's just the beginning. The beginning of eating more people, becoming stronger, and being of much more use to me.''

Muzan stated. “For over a hundred years, the members of the Upper Demon Moons from the 12 Demon Moons have never changed. The ones who have laid the Demon Hunter Pillars to rest are always the Upper Moon Demons. But how about the Lower Demon Moons? How many times have they been replaced?”

Lower Demon Moon 6, Kamanue, thought: You can’t just tell us that… “You can’t tell us that?” Muzan repeated. “Oh? Then tell me.”

Kamanue started sweating profusely, shocked that His Lordship could read his thoughts.

Muzan asked again, staring daggers at Kamanue, “What’s wrong? Tell me.”

Kamanue didn’t intend to tell His Lordship, as he was scared he’d say something to offend him.

Considering Muzan’s God Complex, Kamanue stayed quiet, not uttering a single word. This resulted in Muzan lifting him upside down in the air.

“PLEASE FORGIVE ME! PLEASE KIBUTSUJI-SAMA! PLEASE HAVE COMPASSION!” Kamanue begged, shouting for forgiveness.

The other Lower Moon Demons just kept quiet as they held their position, trying their best not to move or speak. Izumi did the same, keeping still and as quiet as she could.

Kamanue continued shouting, “I’M SO SORRY! I”M SO SORRY! I”M SO….”

Before Kamanue could finish, Muzan mutated his arm even further to have a mouth with fangs to kill his prey. He did so with blood splattering everywhere and his other Lower Demon Moons.

Upon smelling the fresh scent of blood and the dead corpse in front of her, Izumi felt even more hungry.

Muzan turned to Izumi, who was grabbing his arm. He could tell she was very hungry, and nodded in consent.

Izumi started devouring the dead corpse of Kamanue, causing three Lower Demon Moons to shake even more.

Lower Demon Moon 3 forgot all about His Lordship’s mind-reading ability. Why did this happen? And I finally became one of the 12 Demon Moons. Why… why… From now on, I have to do more… more…

Muzan broke the silence, “So you’re more afraid of the Demon Hunters than you are of me?” Muzan asked, staring right at Lower Demon Moon 4, Mukago.

Upon hearing His Lordship speak of her name, she jolted as she looked at Her Lordship. “No..!” Mukago replied.

Muzan then spoke again. “So you always intend to flee if you encounter the Demon Hunter Pillars.” Mukago said in rebuttal, “No, I don’t think that!! I will fight with my life on the line for your sake!”

Muzan kept quiet as he looked at Izumi finishing up Kamanue, and looked back at Mukago with dead serious eyes, “So you’re denying what I’m saying?”
