Before he could wait, Daki, who was trampled under Kisaragi Rin's foot, had already started crying.
Her injuries were healing, but tears overflowed from her eyes, and she began to wail loudly.
"Waaah... even though I'm Lower Moon One now, I used to be an Upper Rank! I'm really strong!"
"Hurry up and call your brother out. I don't have time to listen to you whine."
Kisaragi Rin impatiently kicked her head away.
His nichirin blade churned inside her body, but he only felt the separation of flesh and blood, still unable to find Gyutaro.
Daki was shaking with anger, childishly pounding the ground, her head screaming heartbreakingly from the side.
"Die! Die! Everyone die!"
"My head was cut off!"
"Brother!"
With that last cry of 'brother', a long, narrow shadow slowly extended from the ground, and Daki's brother, Gyutaro, emerged from her neck!
"Second Form: Claws-Purifying Wind!"
Four wind blades swiftly slashed towards Gyutaro's neck, but they were blocked by his bone scythe.
The next moment, several exaggerated crimson slashes scattered outwards, indiscriminately covering Kisaragi Rin.
"Fifth Form: Cold Mountain Wind!"
The massive wind blades surrounding his body blocked Gyutaro's Blood Demon Art.
The foul-smelling poison vaporized in the air but was also blocked from his body by the Golden Light Technique.
Gyutaro reattached Daki's head to her neck and consoled her, saying, "It's fine if your head gets cut off, just put it back on. You're so cute, but your brain is really silly."
Daki sobbed and pointed at Kisaragi Rin: "Brother! Kill him!"
"Seriously? So I'm just here to be a backdrop for your sibling affection?"
Kisaragi Rin casually twirled his blade, complaining.
In reality, he had already activated his Heavenly Eye; Gyutaro was a true Upper Rank combatant, having personally buried 15 Pillars.
His physical body was robust, and his Blood Demon Art, Flying Blood Scythe, would generate blood blades wherever his scythe passed. These could be controlled, were poisonous, and would not dissipate until they hit a target, making them an extremely lethal type.
Gyutaro stood up, his two slender arms dangling in front of him, his dull yellow eyes half-hidden among his green hair, his expression deranged.
The next moment, he rushed directly in front of Kisaragi Rin, his bone scythe slashing downwards, multiple blood blades cutting towards Kisaragi Rin.
Arriving later was a strange voice, as if suffering from a severe illness.
"This move is called Flying Blood Scythe. I hold grudges, you know."
Clearly, he had seen how Kisaragi Rin treated Daki while he was inside her.
Facing the sudden attack, although 8 points of agility were somewhat insufficient, the existence of the Heavenly Eye compensated for everything perfectly.
For an attack from above, Kisaragi Rin happened to have a move to counter it.
The nichirin blade was swung upwards with lightning speed; in an instant, a fierce wind roared, carrying sand everywhere, forming a terrifying sight like a tornado.
It was Wind Breathing, Fourth Form: Rising Dust Storm!
Accompanied by whistling sounds of tearing air, the incomparably sharp wind blades violently collided with the blood blades.
For a moment, dust rose everywhere, then was swept away by the fierce wind.
At the same time, the nichirin blade and the bone scythe also met in mid-air, sparks flying.
Gyutaro laughed maniacally, "Not bad, you actually blocked my attack."
Kisaragi Rin looked at Gyutaro's face, which was inches away, and asked strangely, "With how you look, what do you think when you're always in your sister's body and she complains about ugly demons?"
"That sort of thing doesn't matter. As for you, anyone who bullies my sister will be killed by me."
Gyutaro showed no emotion; for him, it didn't matter how much he was insulted, as long as his sister wasn't harmed.
And now, Kisaragi Rin had harmed Daki.
Wanting to increase the force in his hands, Gyutaro found he couldn't press down any further.
The scattered blood blades also couldn't break through the strange golden light in front of Kisaragi Rin; instead, his own body was constantly being cut by the wind blades.
This made Gyutaro scratch his head, then he suddenly kicked the nichirin blade, disengaging from in front of Kisaragi Rin.
He then casually slashed out several even more grotesque blood blades in mid-air, heading straight for Kisaragi Rin.
"First Form: Dust Whirlwind Cutter!"
Gyutaro wanted to create distance, but Kisaragi Rin wouldn't agree. He dodged the incoming blood blades, burst forward again towards Gyutaro, his nichirin blade already descending.
"You fell for it, Flying Blood Scythe: Revolve!"
Gyutaro laughed heartily, waving his hand to control the blood blades in the air to come from all directions.
"I know all your information, but you know nothing about me!"
Of course, knowing that the unleashed blood blades could be controlled again, Kisaragi Rin stepped through the air, directly avoiding them. In the brief moment of Gyutaro's Stunned, golden light gathered on the nichirin blade, illuminating the night.
His body spun, generating even more violent power, and a massive wind blade formed at his side, already slicing through Gyutaro's neck!
Fifth Form: Cold Mountain Wind!
With his head severed, Gyutaro's face turned grim, and countless slashes around him formed a shield, preventing Kisaragi Rin from getting closer.
Daki's tearful voice also came over.
"Brother, how can you not even beat a character like this!"
"He's a bit strong."
Having just had his neck cut, Gyutaro had a bit of a headache, literally speaking.
Cold Autumn Mountain Wind combined with the Golden Light Technique provided enough attack power. Unfortunately, Gyutaro and Daki maintained a safe distance, preventing Kisaragi Rin from severing both their necks simultaneously.
This was the strength of an Upper Rank; each one was far more troublesome than a Low Moon.
Glancing at Spider Demon's side, Zenitsu wouldn't die anytime soon.
So Kisaragi Rin didn't plan to immediately upgrade his Wind Breathing and suppress them through direct stats.
After all, time was running out... and he just happened to be missing a reunion gift.
Looking at Gyutaro's waist, which was thinner than his own arm, and the black spots on his face, Kisaragi Rin observed carefully and said, "Actually, you look quite good. You have a rugged handsomeness. I'm quite interested in you two. Would you like to become my subordinates?"
Gyutaro bent over laughing, seeing someone try to poach from the Demon King for the first time.
"You're quite interesting. Do you want to become a demon?"
"I remember that the Low Moons don't have the qualification to invite others to become demons."
Kisaragi Rin's reply made Gyutaro stop laughing, wishing he could slap himself for responding to his joke.
Gyutaro plucked out one of his eyes and tossed it to Daki. As the dull yellow pupil grew from Daki's forehead, her aura completely changed.
As the somewhat foolish younger sister, Daki's combat awareness was very poor, but she could hand over control of her body to Gyutaro.
However, Kisaragi Rin's combat power was too strong, so Gyutaro didn't dare to control Daki to approach him directly, but controlling the remote sashes was enough to alleviate some pressure.
"Eight-Layered Sash Slash!"
"Circular Slash Revolve: Splattering Blood Scythe!"
"Third Form: Clear Mountain Wind Tree!"
