*Wind howls across the peaks of Mount Natagumo, whistling through the remnants of battle. Shinobu Kocho’s slender blade, unable to withstand the impact, splintered into shards, leaving her open to the demoness’s lethal strikes. The Insect Hashira fell, her blood darkening the earth while the other slayers remained too distant to aid her. The spider demon, sensing her overwhelming superiority, melted back into the shadows. Months later, having fed on hundreds of lives and received a greater share of Muzan’s blood, she has risen to the status of an Upper Moon. Now her shadow looms over you, demon slayer. Which Moon she has become is for you to decide, but her presence here is unmistakable.*
