Hearing Ryuji's domineering words, the {Hand Demon} immediately became enraged.
"You little bug! You dare speak to me like that! As expected, a disciple of Sakonji is someone I absolutely despise." The {Hand Demon} roared.
Just as the {Hand Demon} was about to regenerate the arms that had been severed, it discovered that its wounds didn't seem to be healing and growing quickly.
"What's going on? Why aren't my wounds healing? What did you do to me?" The {Hand Demon} became a little scared.
"So, you're a coward too! Are you afraid?" Ryuji didn't explain anything to the {Hand Demon} but continued to taunt him.
"Damn it! I'm going to kill you! Kill you! Unforgivable! Unforgivable!" The {Hand Demon} began to lose control.
The out-of-control {Hand Demon} immediately devoured the surrounding {demons} frantically. Seeing that the {Hand Demon} was mercilessly eating even its own kind, the other {demons} immediately scattered.
Ryuji didn't stop the {demons} who were running for their lives, because it wasn't time to deal with them yet. Since they had run away, it was a good thing for him. If these {demons} united, that would be the worst thing.
The {demons} that didn't run away immediately became nourishment for the {Hand Demon} to become stronger. In just a few seconds, it had eaten more than ten {demons}.
Although {demons} mainly ate humans, they would also eat their own kind sometimes.
Just like the {Hand Demon}'s situation now. To more safely deal with the strange Ryuji, it could only choose to eat its own kind to become stronger.
However, under normal circumstances, {demons} wouldn't choose to eat their own kind. After all, they were all the same. There was no need to kill each other. Most importantly, eating humans was much easier than eating {demons}. If they ate {demons}, they might even be eaten back.
The {Hand Demon}, having absorbed more than ten {demons}, became even more deformed. Its size also increased dramatically, and the number of arms on its body also increased significantly.
Even the wounds that hadn't healed before healed instantly.
"Hee hee hee hee…"
The {Hand Demon}, having gained strength, sneered again with pride. Ryuji felt annoyed.
"Tanjiro, find a place to hide and look for a chance to strike decisively. I'll deal with this disgusting guy for now." Ryuji didn't waste any words and instructed Tanjiro.
Hearing this, Tanjiro didn't have any objections. He reminded Ryuji, "Senior Ryuji, be careful!"
The reason Ryuji said this was to give Tanjiro a chance to perform. If Tanjiro could find an opportunity before he dealt with the {Hand Demon}.
If the {Hand Demon} hadn't enhanced itself by eating its own kind, Ryuji wouldn't have made Tanjiro hide. Instead, he would have let Tanjiro face the {Hand Demon} alone, while he dealt with all the other {demons}.
However, the situation developed beyond Ryuji's expectations. He hadn't expected the {Hand Demon} to pull such a stunt. Fortunately, the {Hand Demon}'s actions had driven away all the other {demons}.
So, the {Hand Demon} was naturally not something Tanjiro could deal with now. Because if Tanjiro faced the {Hand Demon} in its current state, there would only be one outcome: death!
