Chapter 396 Time-Space Fishing! Catching Butterfly Kanae!

This is a world where evil demons exist.

Because evil demons eat humans, the Demon Slayer Corps came into being.

To this day, the war between demon slayers and evil demons has lasted for thousands of years.

...

...

A few years ago.

One morning.

A dangerous battle between an evil demon and a demon slayer was underway.

The demon slayer was a young girl with a beautiful figure and face.

Her long black hair cascaded over her shoulders, and her purple pupils glowed in the night.

She wore emerald green butterfly hair clips on both sides of her head and a colorful butterfly-patterned haori.

She held a peach-colored Nichirin Blade, with an orange four-leaf clover-shaped guard, and the words "Demon Slayer" were inscribed on the blade.

This young girl was one of the Nine Pillars of this generation of the Demon Slayer Corps—Flower Pillar Butterfly Kanae!!!

Even as a woman, she was no less capable than a man, with first-rate martial arts and movement skills.

To this day, countless evil demons have fallen by her blade.

However...

Even such a powerful Pillar was now severely wounded, in precarious danger, and could fall at any moment.

The reason was simple: the opponent she encountered this time was too terrifying.

The level of the evil demon she was currently facing was completely different from the ordinary evil demons of the past.

He had white-oak colored hair, and his irises were as vibrant as a rainbow.

On his left iris, there were two characters—Upper Moon!!!

On his right iris, there was also a character—Two!!!

These three characters represented his identity.

Upper Moon Two Douma!!!

The second strongest among the Twelve Demon Moons.

The second strongest existence among all the evil demons created by Demon King Kibutsuji Muzan.

The only demons stronger than him were Upper Moon One Kokushibo and Demon King Muzan.

In recent centuries, the Demon Slayer Corps had never killed any Upper Moon.

Not even Upper Moon Six could be killed, let alone the terrifying Upper Moon Two.

"Now, now, you truly are a kind, lovely, and strong girl, I like you very much, would you like to come back to the Paradise Faith with me? It will definitely be very fun!"

Upper Moon Two Douma spoke, a gentle smile on his face, like a sunny boy next door.

"You truly are a tragic man, you don't know what emotions are, you're just like a walking corpse, trying to find something!"

Butterfly Kanae spoke.

Incredulously.

She was clearly the weaker party.

She was clearly the one pushed to the brink, barely escaping death.

But...

At this moment, the look in her eyes towards Douma was still filled with pity.

Listening to Butterfly Kanae's words that struck deep into the heart, and feeling the pity in her words.

Upper Moon Two Douma's smile slightly faded, and his expression turned slightly cold.

Clap!

He waved the golden iron fan in his hand.

Blood Demon Art, activate!!!

One ice figure after another condensed and appeared out of thin air, surrounding Butterfly Kanae.

Blood Demon Art—Crystalline Dolls!!!

The small ice figures resembled Douma in appearance and could use the same Blood Demon Art as Douma himself.

"Sigh."

Douma sighed.

"Since that's the case, then I can only let you become one with me. A kind and lovely girl like you must taste delicious!"

As his words fell, five small ice figures simultaneously attacked the heavily wounded Butterfly Kanae.

On the other side.

Even though she was severely wounded, Butterfly Kanae did not sit idly by.

She took a deep breath, stimulating her body cells with breathing techniques, making her last struggle.

"Flower Breathing—Second Form: Shadow Plum!!!"

Swish swish swish~

Arcing slashes cut out indiscriminately in all directions, repelling the attacking small ice figures.

"Flower Breathing—Fifth Form: Peony of Futility!!!"

Thud thud thud!!!

Nine consecutive thrusts focused on one of the small ice figures.

With a crisp crack, one small ice figure was shattered on the spot.

However...

Just as Butterfly Kanae concentrated her attack on the small ice figure, Upper Moon Two Douma moved again.

"Blood Demon Art—Frigid White Princess!!!"

Two ice lotuses in the form of young girls appeared out of thin air, opening their mouths to spew out a wide range of freezing air.

In an instant, Butterfly Kanae felt as if the blood in her body was about to freeze, unable to flow normally.

"Blood Demon Art—Wisteria Lotus!!!"

Several ice vines with ice lotuses burst forth, firmly binding Butterfly Kanae.

"What a pity, it's almost dawn, but you can't hold on any longer!"

Douma said with a smile.

"Even if you manage to last until dawn, you won't survive, because your lungs are already riddled with holes from the cold, and even breathing is a torment now, isn't it!"

Butterfly Kanae did not speak. Even though she was destined to die, she would bloom her final brilliance.

She endured the intense pain, about to activate the ultimate form of Flower Breathing.

However...

Just then.

Without warning.

The void above her head was suddenly pierced open.

A fishing line descended from the sky, binding itself to her as if it had a life of its own.

The moment the fishing line fell, all the small ice figures and ice creations shattered.

Even the powerful Upper Moon Two Douma's body exploded with a bang.

Whoosh!

The fishing line pulled the shocked and bewildered Butterfly Kanae soaring into the sky, disappearing in an instant.
