Mitsuri Kanroji had joined the Demon Slayer Corps with the goal of finding a husband stronger than herself.
Now, faced with the incredibly powerful Roy, her thoughts raced, and her cheeks flushed red.
The moment Doma, Upper Rank Two, perished, Muzan Kibutsuji was instantly aware.
Through Doma's final moments, Muzan saw that a woman had shattered his head.
Muzan's expression remained unchanged.
He lacked human emotions and empathy.
All the Demons he created were merely tools to him.
However, he couldn't simply ignore the destruction of one of his tools.
He summoned Kokushibo, Upper Rank One, and ordered him to eliminate the woman who had killed Doma.
Kokushibo was the strongest of the Upper Ranks, formerly the elder brother of Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
His strength far surpassed Doma's.
After dispatching Kokushibo, Muzan paid no further attention to the matter.
Meanwhile, after dealing with Doma, Roy and the others returned to the Butterfly Mansion.
Roy seized the opportunity to extend an invitation to Mitsuri.
"Mitsuri-san, would you be willing to become my servant?" he asked.
"Eh?" Mitsuri was surprised by the sudden offer from the new leader of the Demon Slayer Corps.
And to become his servant... was this a confession?
Should she accept or refuse?
After a moment of hesitation, Mitsuri decided to accept.
Her reason for joining the Demon Slayer Corps was to find a strong husband!
This new leader could not only resurrect the dead and teleport people across vast distances, but he had also effortlessly frozen Doma, Upper Rank Two.
Such a powerful man was the perfect husband in her eyes.
"I... I accept!" Mitsuri replied, her face flushed.
Roy smiled and, without wasting any time, began the Devil transformation ritual.
"By the name of Roy Lucifuge, I command thee, Mitsuri Kanroji, to become my servant Devil, reborn as my Rook!"
An ice-blue magic circle appeared beneath Mitsuri's feet, and a Rook piece merged into her body.
Light flashed.
A pair of Devil wings unfolded from within the light.
The Rook piece granted high attack and defense power. Combined with Mitsuri's already superhuman physique, eight times denser than an average person's, she was now incredibly powerful, capable of withstanding even an High-Class Devil with her physical strength alone.
"So this is what it feels like to be a Devil," Mitsuri mused, clenching her fists and feeling the surge of power coursing through her.
It was overwhelming.
If the power bestowed upon her was this immense, how powerful was her master?
Mitsuri gazed at Roy with fervent admiration.
"Hehe, Mitsuri, there will be plenty of time to witness my power later," Roy chuckled.
Roy's strength had already reached the mid-level of High-Class Devil.
Having awakened his Devil ability, he felt invincible among High-Class Devils.
He eagerly anticipated Riser Phenex's reaction when they clashed upon his return.
Roy continued to refine his ice-based techniques.
After awakening his ice affinity, his magical talent seemed to have been unlocked.
He could now use many magic spells he had only read about in his memories, and creating new techniques became much easier.
Most of his ice-based techniques were inspired by the abilities from the anime Freezing.
Of course, he had memories of many other ice users, such as Satellizer L. Bridget, Kuzan, Esdeath, and Toshiro Hitsugaya.
Satellizer was arguably the strongest among them.
Apart from Satellizer's techniques, the one Roy most desired to learn was Esdeath's "Mahāpadma."
It was an incredibly powerful ability that could freeze time and space within a certain range, an almost unstoppable technique.
Even a Maou would be helpless against it.
Unfortunately, it was too profound and complex for Roy to grasp on his own.
...
Several days passed, and Tanjiro successfully completed his mission to investigate the missing girls.
The childhood friend was saved, and the Swamp Demon was slain.
Tanjiro would soon head to Asakusa, where he would encounter Muzan Kibutsuji for the first time.
It was time for Roy and the others to depart as well.
"Shinobu-san, inform the Hashira to gather here. Muzan Kibutsuji will be appearing soon. This is our best chance to kill him," Roy instructed before their departure.
He intended to take the Hashira with him to Asakusa.
After all, they were going to a crowded city. To avoid harming innocent civilians, the Demon Slayer Corps would need to evacuate the area.
Shinobu's eyes lit up with excitement at the prospect of finally killing Muzan Kibutsuji.
"Is it true?" she asked eagerly.
"Of course," Roy replied with a smile, patting Shinobu's head.
Although Shinobu disliked being patted on the head, she couldn't resist Roy, given her small stature.
Shinobu, after finally escaping Roy's affectionate gesture, summoned her Kasugai Crow to relay the message.
That afternoon, all the Hashira gathered at the Butterfly Mansion, having completed their respective missions and ready to follow Roy's commands.
Inside the Butterfly Mansion, the Hashira stood together.
"I won't waste time with unnecessary words," Roy announced. "Tonight, Muzan Kibutsuji will appear in Asakusa. I need you all to accompany me there, along with the Demon Slayers under your command."
Roy stated his purpose directly.
The Hashira were excited at the prospect of finally confronting Muzan Kibutsuji.
"Excellent! This time, we will definitely slay Muzan Kibutsuji!" Kyojuro Rengoku declared with unwavering determination.
"Is the centuries-long struggle of the Demon Slayer Corps finally coming to an end?" Gyomei Himejima exclaimed, tears streaming down his face.
