"Done, then next is to control Nakime and start the thrilling ranking match." Abel muttered to himself, quickly locking onto Nakime.
In an instant, he arrived in front of Nakime. Nakime sensed danger and was about to make a move when she saw a pair of red eyes. Before she could react, she was controlled.
"Then let the thrilling matching game begin."
With that, the controlled Nakime strummed the strings.
Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters.
"Didn't that guy say he was going to fight Muzan tonight? Where is he? Is he scared?"
"What an unflashy guy."
"Everyone, don't worry. We must believe in Master."
"Amitabha."
Just as the Hashira were getting impatient, their feet lost ground, and everyone appeared inside the Infinity Castle, then began to fall.
Tamayo's house.
Yoriichi, Tamayo, and Yushiro fell in the same manner.
Even Abel's Peerage were teleported to his side.
At this moment, the matching began.
Kokushibo knelt in a room, sensing something was wrong. He saw Nakime open a door in front of him. Immediately after, his body began to tremble, and all three pairs of his eyes opened, as if he had seen something incredible.
Through the door in front of him, Yoriichi walked out.
"Yoriichi! Why are you still alive!"
"Brother, long time no see. I've returned to take you away."
On the other side.
Akaza landed steadily from the air. Looking at the isolated room, he was a bit confused, not knowing what Muzan wanted to do.
The next second, a figure came into the room through the door and stood in front of him.
This was Kyojuro.
Akaza looked at Kyojuro in front of him as if he had found a rare treasure. Although his tempered fighting spirit was still a bit immature, it was almost at the highest realm. He didn't expect Muzan to give him such a big surprise.
"What's your name?"
"Flame Hashira—Rengoku Kyojuro."
"My name is Akaza."
Akaza said, extending his hand towards Kyojuro, "Kyojuro, do you want to join us and become a demon?"
"Of course not."
Kyojuro gave his answer, pulling out the Nichirin Blade from his waist and preparing for battle.
...
The scene shifted to Upper Rank Three's room.
Hantengu trembled and hid on the beam, cowering.
"So scary... What else does Muzan-sama need me to do? Why can't it be given to others?" Hantengu stammered, his whole body trembling.
He looked down into the room and saw a large door appear.
"What is Nakime-san doing again? So scary."
In the midst of his words, Miko, Hana, and Mitsuri walked out of the door.
Everyone had obtained information about Hantengu from Abel and it was decided that Hantengu would be dealt with by Miko, Hana, and Mitsuri.

Fourth battlefield.
Tengen and Sanemi appeared in a room full of pots.
Tengen stroked his chin and complained, "All these pots are so ugly, not flashy at all."
Sanemi Shinazugawa, on the other hand, was a bit irritable. "Don't talk about these ugly pots! Find Muzan and kill him!"
Just then, an irritable voice sounded.
"What are you saying! My pots are made so beautifully, are you blind?" Gyokko appeared.
Listening to Gyokko's words, Tengen waved his hand. "Not flashy is not flashy."
Sanemi said, "Why say so much, let's fight him!"
With that, he charged forward.

Fifth battlefield.
As the two doors opened, Daki fell from a high place and landed. At this moment, she was dressed as an oiran.
Daki surveyed the large room, not understanding what Muzan wanted to do.
At this time, Obanai and Giyu also fell from the air.
The two surveyed the area. Then their gaze locked onto Daki in front of them.
Looking at the characters in her eyes, Obanai asked, "Are you an Upper Rank? Why do you feel so weak?"
Hearing Obanai's words, Daki put her hands on her hips, and shrieked, "Who are you calling weak! I am Upper Rank Six Daki!"
With that, the hem of her kimono transformed into countless sharp fabric strips that shot towards the two.
Serpent Breathing, Second Form: Venom Fangs of the Narrow Head!
Just as Giyu was about to move, Obanai charged forward. In an instant, he was behind Daki.
Swing the blade, decapitate.
As Daki was decapitated, both of them were stunned for a moment.
"Are Upper Ranks this weak? Muzan must be blind to have taken a liking to this one..."
Before he finished speaking, Obanai quickly retreated.
Countless blood scythes erupted from Daki's body, and then a man appeared from within her.
"Really, if the head falls off, just put it back on."
Looking at Gyutaro in front of them, Obanai and Giyu began to prepare for battle.

Sixth battlefield.
Rui, who was playing his so-called family game on Mount Natagumo, appeared in the room. He lowered his head, playing with a string, saying nothing.
As the Butterfly sisters entered, Rui raised his head.
Sisters?
"Do you want to become a demon, and be my family, my older sister?" Rui extended an invitation.
Shinobu spoke up, "Who wants to be the older sister of an evil demon like you!"
Ever since Kanae returned, Shinobu's irritable temper had returned.
"Alright, Shinobu, let's finish quickly and return to Abel's side soon."
"Okay, nee-san."
With that, two figures charged towards Rui.

The final battlefield.
Kaigaku, with his Nichirin Blade on his back and his arms crossed, waited for Muzan's command as a door opened, from which Gyomei walked out.
He pressed his palms together, reciting Buddhist scriptures.
Seeing the Stone Hashira, Kaigaku instinctively retreated. He knew that the person in front of him was the strongest in the Demon Slayer Corps.
A gentle breeze blew, and Gyomei, who was reciting scriptures, paused. Immediately, the prayer beads in his hand broke. His tears slowly flowed down, and the veins on his forehead bulged, as if he was enduring something.
He drew the spiked flail and axe from his waist.
"Kaigaku! Return the lives of those children!"
Just now, Abel had used the wind to tell Gyomei Kaigaku's life story.
