Chapter 78 The Mission of the Rose Guild Members
at the same time.
Elsewhere in town, about fifteen minutes ago.
"Damn this cycle of reincarnation, this is a really bad start. Compared to the first cycle of reincarnation, it's getting worse and worse."
Although this place is a concentration of guild forces and many reincarnators who have gone through the third mission world, it is quite powerful and has a certain ability to protect itself.
However, when facing the ghosts of this world, they are still in a relatively weak position.
Meanwhile, the reincarnators of the third mission are left to their own devices, and the reincarnation space no longer makes any effort to assign them any identities.
However, none of them expected that they would be unlucky enough to be thrown near the haunted house.
“Although we are not ordinary people and have some skills, the ghosts in this world are a bit strange. Perhaps we should leave for the time being.”
Within the guild's squad, a man with a scar on his face whispered a suggestion to their leader, Shangguan Chuming.
"Don't act rashly. Based on my understanding of the information, recklessly changing the starting point could make the situation even worse."
A fairly strong team, mistaking the world for something weak, acted recklessly and was wiped out in some unknown corner.
Shangguan Chuming, the leader who wore a rose mask, pondered for a moment, shook his head, and offered a reminder.
"We'll just stay in this area and observe the battle. If the Demon Slayer Corps has the upper hand, we'll go and help them out."
If things get tough, we'll leave with the wounded Demon Slayers; after all, we still need to complete the mission assigned to us by the guild.
Upon hearing their leader's words of advice, the other guild members wore wry smiles and expressions of helplessness.
Welfare and obligations are always relative. Since they have enjoyed the support of the guild's resources, they naturally have to complete some corresponding tasks.
This time, nearly half of the reincarnators who descended were guild members because they used special items to enter in groups.
The ultimate goal involves the guild's top brass, who have issued a mission to investigate the true identity of the Demon King Muzan.
Rumor has it that the guild's higher-ups are very interested in Muzan, who is said to have lived for over a thousand years.
But that ghost king was too cautious.
Those powerful high-ranking officials worried that if they descended directly, Muzan might be forced to hide, wasting a lot of time.
Therefore, let these newcomers investigate thoroughly, preferably pinpoint their whereabouts, and then use tools to forcibly descend and capture Muzan directly.
After that, a complete blood test was conducted to uncover the hidden secrets.
What force could possibly allow Muzan, the Demon King, to have a lifespan of over a thousand years without possessing the power to dominate a world?
However, they felt that it was too much to ask of them, who were not even formal reincarnators, to carry out this task.
"Don't worry, there are no mandatory requirements for this guild mission. We just need to make as much contact with the Demon Slayer Corps as possible."
I obtained information from the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, gathered through long periods of struggle with demons. This will increase my understanding of the Demon King, Muzan.
Shangguan Chuming, as the leader, felt a bit cold, but still promptly offered words of comfort.
"Also, tell everyone to be careful. The ghosts might come out when night falls. Be prepared for battle."
"Captain, since there's something wrong with this town, why don't I take a look around and see if I can find any clues?"
He Zhendong, the scarred young man who had spoken earlier, then asked a question.
"Yes, with your strength, even in a critical situation, there is a certain probability of survival."
Shangguan Chuming glanced at He Zhendong, nodded, and agreed with his approach.
Afterwards, the scarred youth He Zhendong didn't say much and quickly infiltrated the town to gather intelligence.
Shortly after He Zhendong left, Shangguan Chuming asked everyone to gather as much intelligence as possible.
Just then, the sun had completely set, and a powerful aura immediately spread out from the center of the town.
Along with it came an extremely strong stench of blood that enveloped the entire town.
The aura was extremely strong; several lone wolf reincarnators almost lost their footing and fell to the ground upon sensing this terrifying power.
However, this aura came and went quickly, and soon subsided.
"Oh no, there really is a powerful ghost lurking here, keeping the townspeople captive."
Even a lower-ranking demon might not be able to do this; it could very well be an upper-ranking demon.
Just as things calmed down and the reincarnators were feeling somewhat lost, Shangguan Chuming, the guild leader, seemed to have realized something and exclaimed in surprise.
"Now that an Upper Moon demon has appeared, the Demon Slayer Corps will definitely not miss it and will send a Pillar-level slayer. This place is about to become the most chaotic battlefield."
However, if at least two Pillars don't come to defeat an Upper Rank Demon, the Demon Slayer Corps is simply throwing their lives away.
Previously, we only briefly mentioned the Upper Rank Demons without specifying their strength.
Therefore, apart from the guild members, the other reincarnators all seemed somewhat lost.
But hearing the news that this place was going to become a battlefield brought them back to their senses.
They had all felt that terrifying aura that had just spread out.
"Quickly hide inside the house and don't come out."
Just then, members of the Demon Slayer Corps arrived to provide support.
Although the powerful aura emanating from the center of the town was beyond their expectations, they had no intention of deserting.
Those who become members of the Demon Slayer Corps usually have a deep-seated hatred for demons, and are willing to risk their lives to take a piece of a demon's flesh.
Because the timing of their arrival was wrong; if it were during Tanjiro Kamado's time, the strength of the demons they encountered would gradually increase.
Therefore, the reincarnated ones are given more time to grow up more leisurely.
If you're lucky, you might even get the heads of Upper Moon and Lower Moon demons.
But now, the moment they arrive, they encounter an Upper Moon demon, as if they're facing a mini-boss right from the start. The timing of this descent mission world is way too far off.
Seeing the anxious faces of the Demon Slayer Corps sent chills down the spines of the reincarnators, who took the matter very seriously.
"I relied too much on the experience of those senior members of the guild. Sure enough, the Samsara Space is ever-changing. We should have left this town much earlier."
It's too late to leave now. We might already be targeted by demons. If we stay away from the Demon Slayer Corps members, we might even be picked off one by one because we lack the means to fight demons.
Shangguan Chuming's expression was very solemn.
This deviated from their previous plan, and they didn't know what had gotten into the Reincarnation Space, which had sent them into the battlefield of the Upper Moon Demons.
The powerful aura that had just spread out also made him feel uneasy.
However, at that moment, suppressed gasps of surprise came from the reincarnators around him.
"what is that?"
"Why are there so many ghosts?"
"This is impossible!"
"How come so many ghosts gather in one small town?"
