T/L: It honestly hurts to see such a great story sitting at less than 100 Power Stones after a whole week.
Just kidding.

[I see, he already noticed...]
In just an instant, Kanae understood Doma's meaning.
He was fully aware of what was happening behind him—he was merely pretending not to know.
[To be able to perceive from such a distance...]
Relieved, Kanae once again had her understanding of the strength of the upper-ranked demons refreshed.
She didn't interfere further, merely silently preparing to coordinate with Uzui Tengen for a fierce assault on Doma after his three wives' "sneak attack" succeeded.
And so, time quietly passed.
In the darkness behind, those three wives finally finished adjusting their launchers completely.
They exchanged glances, nodded firmly, then without hesitation aimed at Doma's completely undefended back and pulled the triggers simultaneously!
WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!
Instantly, dozens of darts from the three launchers fired out simultaneously, slicing through the night sky and striking Doma's back with pinpoint precision!
They hit! They actually hit?!
"Uwaa~"
The result before them was even better than everyone imagined. Under everyone's excited gazes, Doma, with dozens of darts stuck in his back, suddenly cried out in pain and fell from his speaker to the ground!
"How could this be... this is actually... wisteria poison... such strong... toxin..."
Doma knelt on the ground, one hand supporting himself, his rainbow pupils filled with disbelief!
At this moment, poisoned blood blackened by wisteria toxin was continuously flowing out from his back and mouth. Even his unbelievably fair skin was gradually crawling with patches of purple-black.
Clearly, he was poisoned!
Could it be that this demon unexpectedly had very low resistance to toxins?!
"Move! Quickly cut off his head!"
Without any opportunity for hesitation, Uzui Tengen roared and initiated the attack first.
"Understood!"
Immediately after, Tanjiro, Himejima Gyomei, Kanae, and even Genya picked up his gun again, all launching attacks at the fallen Doma!
Kneeling on the ground, looking up painfully at the crowd surrounding him, Doma spoke in a weak voice:
"Damn it... I seem... to be done for... just kidding~"
His tone suddenly became incredibly cheerful. At this critical moment, Doma who had been in such pain he seemed about to die the previous second suddenly stood up on the spot, the purple-black on his face instantly fading!
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, patting the dust from his knees, he said with a grin:
"This little bit of wisteria poison is no different from drinking water~ Little ones, you seem to be looking down on me a bit too much~
How was it, wasn't my acting amazing? Everyone must have been fooled by me, right?"
[What! This demon... he was pretending just now?!]
An unprecedented threat of death rushed toward them. Just as everyone hurriedly stopped their charge and tried to retreat to create distance, Doma's figure simply vanished from among them!
"However, although I don't really mind~ for bad girls who sneak attack and disturb my show, I should indeed impose a little punishment~ don't you think?"
In the next instant, Doma's figure directly appeared behind Uzui Tengen's three wives, slightly bending down to look at them with a smiling face.
"Let me think, who should I choose to punish~"
Their pupils constricting, completely unexpected that Doma could reach behind them so quickly, the three women were instantly frozen, their bodies completely unable to move under that terrifying pressure behind them!
"Hmm~ I feel all three little sisters are so pretty, so hard to choose..."
"RUN!!"
Shouting this, Uzui Tengen desperately rushed toward them, his tone carrying anxiety he had never shown before.
"Mhm, then I'll choose you~"
Finally, Doma set his gaze on Suma, the one with black shoulder-length hair among the three.
He then smiled and gently lifted Suma into his arms, right in front of Uzui Tengen in the distance.
"Suma?!"
"Don't worry~ no pain no pain~ I'll take you to eternal life with me~"
In the next instant, Doma slightly exerted force, and Suma in his arms, who hadn't even reacted yet, was directly pressed into his body!
Literally pressed inside.
Doma directly used the cells of his entire body to swallow Suma whole in one gulp!
This scene once again shocked everyone present.
This was the first time they had seen a demon devour a human in this manner.
"Guh... ah..."
Witnessing his own wife being devoured by a demon with his own eyes, Uzui Tengen's eyes widened. It was as if his spine had been removed—he suddenly knelt to the ground, utterly devastated.
"Alright~ punishment over~ let's continue our battle~"
Rubbing his stomach, Doma walked forward with a smile.
"Hmm?"
Only now seeming to notice Uzui Tengen kneeling on the ground, he blinked, then quickly ran forward.
"What's wrong what's wrong~ oh my~ why are you kneeling here looking like you're about to cry~"
Kneeling before Uzui Tengen with his knees together, Doma blinked his large eyes, covering his mouth and asking curiously:
"Could it be because I just swallowed your wife?
Don't be so sad~ think about it, you had three wives, so originally your love had to be divided equally among the three of them, each person only getting a tiny bit~
Now that I've helped you swallow one, your love only needs to be divided between the remaining two, so each of them can receive more love~ you can also love them more~
For each of you, this is a good thing! So you should be happy now, you should thank me, you know?
Sigh... it's just a pity I never eat men, otherwise I could have let you and your wife live eternally with me, sorry about that~"
Saying this, Doma sighed on his own, as if truly regretting this very much.
Then, he raised his hand, removed one of the darts stuck in his back, and handed it to Uzui Tengen, saying seriously:
"But, this dart can be left with you as a memento.
Don't worry, this is exactly the dart your wife shot at me just now, I won't mistake it...
Ah, and this one, this one too... take them all, I don't mind..."
Lowering his head to look at the darts forcibly handed to him by Doma one after another, an emotion called rage suddenly spread rapidly within Uzui Tengen's heart.
"DEMON!! I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL KILL YOU!!"
Gripping his dual swords, his eyes bloodshot, he roared and rose, swinging with all his might at Doma's neck.
And it was precisely under this boundless fury that on Uzui Tengen's chest, a strange cyan-green mark resembling a musical note gradually emerged!
