"Ahh shit here we go again."
Diabolo was now rising again and something was coming out of it.
[Author: Keep your mind away from the sewers!!]
His head was still decapitated but something was squirming out of his neck.
"Everyone throw as many as you can!!" I said as everyone suddenly started throwing as many rocks as they can. Well everyone except the Mobs who just stood there ready to piss their pants.
"What? need your mama to change your diapers??" I said mockingly.
"Y-you!!" Started Mob 1 but shut up when I threw a rock and managed to embed it into Diabolos arm almost halfway.
Diabolo was now fully standing and was about to dash towards us but what made me feel intrested was that his regeneration was now very very much faster than before.
"Everyone provide cover! I'll take care of this guy." I said while I dashed towards Diabolo and jumped upwards to see his neck.
" Crimson Slash ." I slashed his neck with my sword and something tried to bite me.
It was a fucking caterpillar that came out of his head. The thing was fucking giant. I couldn't measure because of some of it was still embedded into Diabolo but this thing would surely be more than 6 feet it deserves to burn in Amaterasu for all I care.
'Fuck, fuck,fuck!! Why is it a bug, no why is it a insect. Calm down.' I took a deep breath.
'At least he can't regrow his head otherwise that would be a pain in the ass.' I thought while getting ready to hit it again.
The stones weren't doing much damage now. It seemed like his body had better defence. Diabolo started to walk towards the group.
"Ahhh!!" Zenitsu screamed when he saw the catterpillar coming out of Diabolo's head squirming around in the air. I would have the same reaction if it weren't for the fact that I wanted to save some of my pride in front of my brother.
"Hmm, well gotta catch em all. I guess?"
I dashed forward and in a single smooth motion managed to cut the catterpillar. As soon as the catterpillar stopped squirming around, Diabolo fell lifeless again and I stored his body in my Inventory.
'This will be intresting to study about. I wonder what that Eternal fuckward did to this guy to change him like this.' I'm quite sure that if anyone could do shit as crazy as this then it would be Muzan. I mean he had 1000 years to catch up on his biology homework so he must be capable enough and God forbid if a Demon on the same level of capability as Tamayo was on his side. I was having a mental debate and trying to analyse the situation when someone shouted.
"Hey! Give his body back. Do you think I would allow you to take all the credit for this. I would tell my master that you're a demon too. Who knows what you did to that body?" Said Mob 1 with a proud smirk on his face.
"Aww little baby boy wants to intimidate me? Was that a threat? Sounded more like a child throwing a tantrum." I mocked.
"GIVE THE BODY BACK." Shouted Mob 1.
"And why would I do that again? Are you his wife or his family that you're gonna bury him. This is a war on the level of a species if we don't study them you will find yourself and your descendants been eaten alive not that I would mind seeing that I would probably buy front row tickets if it weren't for the fact that I can't stand this much uselessness." I said.
This seemed to shut him up for a few seconds but then he started laughing.
"Haha. I didn't even need your help killing that guy. I killed it all by myself while you weak fools just saw me right?" Said Mob 1 towards his other surviving friend who nodded vigorously and made an expression like he had fought the fight of his life despite the fact that he just stood there frozen in fear while looking ready to die from fear.
'Wait shouldn't all Demon's have their body eroded quickly after their neck is cut off? My Inventory is a anomaly to this but Diabolo was really not eroding and how the fuck does this guy know about something like that?' I thought while making plans to get the info out of this guy but nothing other than beating the living crap out of him seemed like an option.
Now I would've loved to pound his face to the ground but I couldn't kill him to finish the job. Tanjiro won't allow me and I'm sure this smartass won't keep his mouth shut. Then I would've to go through 'Demon Slayers fighting each other is Taboo' and shit like that
Inosuke seemed ready to pounce on the guy but I held his shoulder and shook my head which immediately calmed him down. Tanjiro looked hurt by his behaviour while Haku was indifferent towards them like he had already seen this happen many times already.
"Yare yare you truly are the lowest scum in history." I said towards Mob 1 who immediately looked enraged and tried to punch me.
'Didn't this guy just saw me defeat that demon and he's trying to punch me?' I sidestepped to dodge his punch but he took out his sword and tried to slash at me.
'Has he gone mad?' I was about to dodge again but suddenly Inosuke appeared in front of Mob 1 and held his hand and immediately crushed it.
"Ahhhhhhh" shouted Mob 1.
"Try hurting my Nii san again and the thing getting crushed would be your throat." Said Inosuke before throwing him away.
Cerberus and Fenris were already ready to pounce on him but were still holding back.
'He's holding something!'
I immediately jumped in front of Inosuke and lo and behold I have a knife in my chest. It wasn't critical by any chance but it still fucking hurt like hell.
I took the Knife out of my Chest and started walking towards Mob 1. My wounds were already starting to heal but blood still flowed out of them and as the Knife dropped on the floor everyone seemed to learn the situation.
"Tanjiro hold Inosuke." I said with a calm voice because I was sure that Inosuke was already ready to pounce on them and beat them to death.
I stepped in front of Mob 1 and his friend who looked at me in fear.
"D-demon." Mob 1 blurted out.
Not that he was wrong about that. My eyes shined like Gems under the moonlight. My tattoos glowed from the Moonlight and it's embrace while my hair danced in the Mountain wind like Flames.
I immediately kicked Mob 1 in the face and proceeded to beat the crap out of him.
Tanjiro dragged me off of him while holding my arms. Zenitsu the proceeded to hold me off and they both started to drag me away from him.
"He'll die Asura. Calm down." Tanjiro said.
"Like I care !!! The Bastard tried to hurt my brother I am gonna rip his arms off!!!"
Haku was restraining Inosuke.
"Listen here you little shit!!! If that knife would've as much as scratched my brother then you would be a corpse by now and I'm telling you that because that's exactly what's going to happen if you don't fuck off from here right now!!" Tanjiro and Zenitsu managed to calm me down enough from my rage that I didn't go on a bloody rampage right there.
Both Mob 1 and his friend managed to drag themselves out of the area but not before shouting things like 'Wait till my father gets to know of this!!' and other bullcrap.
"They most likely won't survive. At least not the one with his while body injured." Tanjiro said while sighing.
"Oh you'll be surprised Tanjiro. I'm sure that as soon as they get into a tough situation one of them would throw the other to the wolves." I said while checking on Inosuke and trying to check him for any injuries.
"I'm sorry Inosuke. I should've been more careful. What if that bastard managed to hit you." I said while hugging Inosuke trying to calm myself and my tears down.
Now I didn't cry at every little thing but what if that bastard had managed to hurt Inosuke. He's my only chance at getting a family.
"It's not your fault brother." Inosuke said while hugging me.
"I should've controlled my rage better. What if my Rage attracted a Demon. I'm sorry everyone. I'm sorry for not looking out for the others." I said while sitting next to Inosuke and slumping my shoulders.
"It's not your fault. You were just looking out for Inosuke." Tanjiro said while patting my head and checking my Injury. While Haku and Zenitsu were checking their Injuries and collecting the Knifes we had thrown but not before shooting me a thumbs up for beating the little shit down.
"Well on the bright side we managed to defeat a powerful demon and from what I can see he was on the level of a lower moon 6.Despite being on the level of the weakest lower moon we still survived without any casualties that's something worth celebrating Tanjiro."
'But the fact remains that if any of us fought that guy alone we would've been dead for sure. Even I couldn't have gotten away without any injuries. Tanjiro is quite lucky to have survived an encounter with it. This honestly makes me question why the Demon slayers don't gang up on the demons? Well that's food for thought I guess. But I need to get much stronger than this where I can't even protect my brother properly. ' I thought while making plans about my future training.
"Yeah. I just wish that we could've gotten along with those guy at least we shouldn't have needed to fight." Said Tanjiro looking a little sad.
"Who wants to get along with those bastards." Said Inosuke huffing from anger.
"It's fine Inosuke don't worry about this. I'm fine. Also you got to fight a powerful guy didn't you?" I said which instantly put a smile on my brother's face.
"Yeah." Inosuke said while smiling happily.
Tanjiro was still a bit sad, he honestly never hides his expression at least not around us.
'This guy and his innocence.'
"I'm sorry Tanjiro but we can't pray for that Demon. Whoever he was in real life, I really hope he can rest peacefully now but we must fight to survive. We must fight to live for the ones with us." I said while wincing a little from the pain. Even though Diabolo never got a solid hit on me I still got some injuries and my lungs and legs hurt from exhaustion and the knife throw from earlier.
"Okay everyone get some rest I'll take watch for the night. Let's set up camp." I said while everyone started to relax a little and we started moving out to find a clearing to rest.
It took us about 15 minutes to find a clearing and another 15 to set up camp which was basically a fire.
'Godamm,how many clearings are there in these forests?'
Everyone was still up and everyone was just talking to each other as we all sat by the campfire when I suddenly got an idea.
I stood up and climbed a tree as everyone looked at me confused but as soon as I took out my flute Tanjiro seemed to understand my intentions and sat back down.
"What's that in your hands Nii san?" Inosuke asked curiously.
"It's a flute." I said while getting comfortable on the tree branch.
"Is it something you can eat? Is it tasty?" Inosuke asked again.
'Sigh. I can't decide if I find this cute or annoying. No. Definitely cute.'
"It produces music. Now calm down and sit down everyone I'll be playing something to improve everyone's mood and no one's allowed to laugh or I'll throw you to the wolves. Literally."

Then I looked around and everyone was beaming. Like literally everyone was smiling happily like they got the chocolate ice cream for dessert. Ah how I miss Chocolate not that I got to eat it much in my previous life but I was sure as hell that everyone else here with me right now would get the best and maybe I can find how to make Chocolate. I don't exactly remember it but that's one thing for the bucket list.
Everyone was happy after hearing my music and I was happy as hell seeing them all smiling.
"Ahh, I see all of you are Men of culture as well. Truly a grand feat. Now let me play some more for you." I said while bringing the flute to my lips.
[AGENT P theme starts playing]
*30 minutes later*
Everyone was getting ready to rest while I was now down from the tree and sitting with Fenris while said wolf was rubbing his face against my chest and licking the scar on my chest.
"Yeah yeah I'll make one song for you too."
Then everyone dozed off. While I remained on watch with Fenris beside me. This wolf never sleeps unless I do too, so no way getting around this one.
I looked up at the sky and looked at the bright stars of the night. It honestly felt good to see a sky not tainted by the pollution of the modern world.
"The stars are beautiful aren't they Fenris?"
*Growl*
"Yeah, I think so too." I said as Men and beast looked up at the untainted,sky into the night.
