A sudden thought struck Xia Feng.
His expression changed as he turned to Tamayo. "Head to the village in the west and wait for me. Looks like there really are Demons causing trouble in this city."
The moment he finished speaking—
He dashed toward the source of the screams.
Very quickly, Xia Feng realized—
The entire city had descended into chaos.
Demons were everywhere.
Although they were all ordinary Demons, their sheer numbers made even Xia Feng feel the pressure.
No matter how strong he was—
Facing enemies scattered across the entire city was still overwhelming.
Nearby, two members of the Demon Slayer Corps were struggling desperately.
But there were simply too many Demons.
More than a dozen surrounded them.
The Demons swarmed relentlessly, leaving them with barely any chance to fight back.
Even ordinary Demons—
With their regenerative abilities—
Were already difficult enough.
"Damn it… we're finished!!"
One of the Demon Slayers was knocked to the ground, a Demon pinning him down.
Despair filled his face.
He knew—
There was no way he would survive.
Slash!!
A flash of blade light cut through the air—
And the Demon pressing him down was instantly decapitated.
Its body crumbled into ash.
The Demon Slayer scrambled to his feet, still shaken—
But when he saw who stood before him, his face lit up with relief.
"It's the Special Advisor-sama!!"
"Thank goodness—you're here! We're saved!"
Xia Feng smiled lightly. "Are you two alright?"
Even in such a tense situation—
He looked completely relaxed.
"Special Advisor-sama—watch out!!"
One of them suddenly shouted as two Demons lunged at Xia Feng.
But—
With a casual swing of his Nichirin Blade—
Both were instantly killed.
Xia Feng's expression turned serious. "There are at least two to three hundred Demons in this city. If you stay here, you'll only slow me down. Head out and report this to headquarters—have them send reinforcements."
The two Demon Slayers looked slightly awkward.
Slow him down…?
That stung.
But they knew—
He was right.
Without hesitation, they turned and rushed toward the city exit.
After cutting down the nearby Demons, Xia Feng noticed something else.
The number of civilians—
Was decreasing.
His eyes narrowed.
"Infinity Castle…"
He had already begun to piece things together.
When he had entered the Infinity Castle before, he suspected that the followers in Doma's city had been transported away by Nakime.
And now—
Seeing people disappear again—
The answer became clear.
"These Demons… were probably those same people."
Xia Feng frowned.
"But why would Muzan turn so many people into Demons…?"
"To build an army? To conquer the entire country?"
He couldn't fully understand Muzan's intentions.
But one thing was certain—
He had to deal with the situation in front of him first.
"This is basically… a zombie outbreak."
The scale of chaos shocked even him.
If news of this spread—
The existence of Demons would be exposed to the entire nation.
That would shake everything.
Xia Feng suddenly paused.
"Alright… let's try the draw first."
He still had one Diamond Draw left.
What if he got an area-of-effect ability?
Without hesitation—
He used it.
[System Notification: Drawing… Success!]
[System Notification: Obtained Diamond Ability — Multiple Shadow Clones!]
[System Notification: Consumes significant mental energy. Creates 30 shadow clones, each possessing 20% of the user's strength. Duration: 30 minutes.]
Xia Feng's eyes lit up.
Perfect.
This was exactly what he needed.
Even at 20% strength—
That was more than enough to deal with ordinary Demons.
He leapt onto a rooftop.
Below, civilians stared at him in shock and confusion.
In the midst of panic—
Seeing something like this only made things more surreal.
Xia Feng formed hand seals.
"Multiple Shadow Clones!"
Boom!
Thirty clones appeared instantly, filling the rooftop.
The crowd below erupted into chaos.
They had never seen anything like this—
It was beyond human understanding.
"Is he… one of those monsters too?!"
Fear spread rapidly as people fled.
Xia Feng ignored them.
"We don't know the exact number of Demons, so split up."
At his command—
The clones dispersed across the city in all directions.
Before long—
The two Demon Slayers returned cautiously.
They quickly approached Xia Feng.
"Special Advisor-sama! We've already reported the situation to headquarters."
Xia Feng nodded. "The Demons in this city have already been dealt with. You don't need to worry anymore."
Their eyes widened.
"So fast…?"
Xia Feng glanced at the dimming night sky.
He still had an appointment with Tamayo.
Turning back to them, he said, "I'll leave the aftermath to you. I have other matters to attend to."
"Understood! Safe travels, Special Advisor-sama!"
They bowed respectfully.
Xia Feng left the city and arrived at the agreed village.
Tamayo and Yushiro were already waiting inside a house.
When Xia Feng appeared, Tamayo looked at him with quiet inquiry.
He explained briefly, "The Demons in the city have been eliminated. There were casualties… but for now, it's safe."
Tamayo let out a soft sigh.
"But the existence of Demons… can no longer be hidden. People will begin to learn about Muzan Kibutsuji."
Xia Feng shook his head slightly. "That couldn't be avoided. It seems Muzan has already changed his original plans."
