I started with Emperor Armor and conquered Infinity.

Chapter 77 Butterfly Sisters

"According to information provided by our guild, the demons in this world, perhaps because they fear sunlight, or perhaps because of the maintenance of the Demon Slayer Corps, do not become the mainstream."

That's because of the specific characteristics of the reincarnation space; it brought us into contact with demons and the Demon Slayer Corps earlier, directly placing us next to this town where people might be kept as captives by demons.

The masked man, who was also the leader of the guild's delegation, Shangguan Chuming, noticed the situation around him and spoke up.

"Without a doubt, we are now being targeted by demons. Our most important task now is to try to survive until the Demon Slayer Corps arrives, or until dawn the next day."

Otherwise, those ghosts won't be polite to us; in fact, we're more nutritious for them than ordinary people.

Compared to ordinary reincarnators, this guild team does indeed have sufficient information to make judgments in advance.

As Gu Qin said, the original lone wolf reincarnator could indeed enhance his safety by following these guild team members.

Of course, this does not include someone like Lin Yao who knows the plot and has great strength.

……

Lin Yao's spiritual imprint continued to follow the small group, to see if they would be the first to encounter the ghost.

Lin Yao, who had a general understanding of the movements of those reincarnators, began searching for the movements of the Demon Slayer Corps, who had come to deal with the demons.

Those demons dare to so openly keep the people of an entire town captive. The Demon Slayer Corps isn't blind; they should arrive soon.

Moreover, what is most important for Lin Yao right now is to understand the current time of arrival.

Let's see what's going on, confirm whether Tanjiro has become a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, and whether Nezuko has become a demon.

Finding the Demon Slayer Corps shouldn't be too difficult, since they've mastered breathing techniques and carry a sword.

As he searched, Lin Yao saw the despair on the faces of the townspeople; this time, he might be encountering a troublesome opponent.

To be able to keep the entire town's inhabitants under one's control, one must be at least a Lower Moon demon, and to avoid being hunted by the boars of the hunting party, one might even be an Upper Moon demon.

"Sister flowers? Why are there two of them? I guess it's still a few years before the official start of the Demon Slayer storyline."

Based on the trail of the talking crow in the Demon Slayer world, Lin Yao pinpointed a divine and demonic mark on it.

Soon after, they found a pair of sisters.

The older one was slender and wore a standard uniform with a haori (a type of traditional Chinese garment) decorated with colorful butterfly patterns as an overcoat.

She has long, black hair that reaches her waist. Unique hair clips adorn the sides of her hair, with pink edges and a vibrant green butterfly pattern in the center.

She had a pair of beautiful light purple eyes, with pupils as clear as a spring, revealing gentleness and kindness.

As for the younger sister, she had short hair, and her cute face exuded a serious and earnest temperament, giving people a capable and efficient feeling.

These two are undoubtedly the Flower Pillar Kaguya and the Future Insect Pillar Shinobu Kocho.

Kanae Kocho's gentleness and kindness tolerated Shinobu Kocho's straightforwardness, and the two complemented each other perfectly.

Now, under her older sister's care, Shinobu is full of energy.

Unlike in the original timeline, after Kanae Butterfly's death, she maintained a constant smile, yet harbored hatred and pain within.

"Could this be the beginning of a battle between Kanae Kocho and Doma?"

Lin Yao looked at the two of them, and a thought struck him as he recalled the battle in which Kanae Butterfly, the Flower Pillar, fell, a topic that had been vaguely mentioned in the original timeline.

One of the Pillars, facing Upper Moon Two Doma, fought to exhaustion, protecting his younger sister and other Demon Slayer Corps members, but was devoured by Doma.

Lin Yao followed closely behind the two, observing their fully armed appearance, which suggested they were preparing to hunt ghosts.

They wait for nightfall before the ghosts reveal themselves.

Looking at the two people not far away, Lin Yao's eyes flickered slightly, and he subtly revealed a trace of his aura.

At the same time, Kocho Kaguya, who became a flower pillar at the age of seventeen, immediately sensed that faint aura.

So, he looked behind him from time to time, but did not see Lin Yao.

Seeing this, Lin Yao secretly sighed, "As expected of the Flower Pillar, his senses are quite sharp."

If it weren't for his lack of stamina, he could have single-handedly defeated Upper Moon Two, Doma.

"Sister, what's wrong? Did you find out something?"

Shinobu Kocho glanced in the direction Kanae Kocho was looking, but didn't see anything. She then asked in confusion.

"I always feel like there's a faint gaze watching me, not with any ill intent, but I can't see it when I turn my head."

Kanae Kocho smiled slightly and shook her head.

"Maybe I sensed it wrongly."

"Sister, you're a Pillar. If you sense something's wrong, it could be a big problem. You have to be careful. What if it's one of those demons?"

Upon hearing this, Shinobu Kocho's face turned serious as she gripped her Nichirin Blade tightly, preparing for battle.

Seeing Shinobu's adorable appearance, Kanae Kocho patted her forehead and smiled.

"It's okay, I didn't sense any malice in it. Maybe I just haven't been sleeping well lately."

"Sister, you must be careful. What if we encounter an Upper Moon demon?"

Just then, a soft laugh came from behind the trees not far from the two.

"Shinobu Kocho, your mouth looks like it's been blessed."

A figure slowly emerged from the trees behind the two. Koko showed an expression of "I knew it" and thought to herself.

This person? They were able to hide their tracks right in front of me. Perhaps they were just deliberately revealing themselves, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to detect them at all.

Does he have some ulterior motive?

Seeing the puzzled look on Kanae's face and the wariness on Butterfly Man's face, Lin Yao didn't say anything more.

He glanced at the two of them slowly, then looked at the temple in the center of the town and said with some emotion.

"I never expected to find myself in this scene. It's quite nice to change a small regret in my heart."

"Change a small regret"—what does that mean? Lin Yao's words of lamentation left Kocho Kana and Kocho Shinobu momentarily speechless, unable to keep up with his train of thought.

"An Upper Moon demon, interesting."

With a soft laugh from Lin Yao, a powerful aura emanated from the temple in the center of the town, accompanied by a strong stench of blood.

Just then, the sun had completely set, and all sorts of demons and monsters were about to emerge. Dozens of ghosts and monsters with strange and unusual auras ran out.

The bloody massacre caused screams and terror, but these were quickly drowned out by the sounds of battle as the Demon Slayer Corps members fought against the demons.

Kanae and Shinobu, no longer caring about Lin Yao, turned to look at the temple in the center of the town, their eyes filled with solemnity.

"The Upper Moon Demon".
