Back Home

Three days later, At the entrance of Yume Town

A young man and woman could be seen entering the town on foot, they were Lorien and Saigai

But different from how they left this town, they weren't alone this time, as inside the box that Lorien carried on his back was Nezuko who controlled her size to fit inside of it

Thanks to this box, even with the addition of this new member who feared the sun, the journey back didn't take them longer than it did on their way there, it was approximately the 3 days

As soon as he entered the town Lorien could clearly feel the roots of the tree of dreams under his feet, they were extending in all directions not leaving any place not covered

'It seems that this town is fully covered now'

And that wasnt all as with his connection to the tree he could feel some roots extending outwards in the direction of different towns to connect with the trees there and create a network

Speaking of different towns, every town he passed through on his journey back, surprisingly had a tree of dreams planted in it

This immensely surprised Lorien as he couldn't help but exclaim at the efficiency of those Demon Slayers

But sadly it'll still take some time for all those trees to 'mature' and connect with each other, but Lorien isn't in a hurry anyway, so there is no need to rush for now

Walking hand in hand with Saigai towards their house, Lorien couldn't hold back his excitement anymore

After 12 days of accumulation and having fully covered the totality of the town, god knows how much energy is actually stored in the tree now waiting for him to harvest

But just as they got to the proximity of the house Lorien's pace suddenly slowed down as a frown appeared on his face

Saigai was quick to notice this as she asked in bewilderment

"Is there anything wrong?"

"I feel the presence of demons, they should have been here recently"

After saying this he kept looking around as if looking for something, but soon after he gave up apparently unable to find it

After staying with Nezuko for this period of time Lorien became sensitive to the 'aura' of demons

And thanks to that he was able to quickly notice the faint aura left behind

This 'stench' is very obvious, even trained humans like those demon slaters who aren't as sensitive as Lorien are able to feel it

So, after feeling this 'Aura' Lorien changed his direction, he was no longer in a hurry to enter the house as he started walking around the outside perimeter of the estate first

This slow walk lasted 15 minutes, and the Aura of demons could be felt nearly everywhere

Discovering this Lorien's mood plummeted, he didn't like people or things intruding into his 'territory' without permission

If it wasnt for the aura being so faint he would have tracked the demon and then gave him a first-class ticket to hell

'It should have been here yesterday night otherwise the aura would have disappeared before I got here, but why was it here, just luck, or was it something else ?'

After thinking about it for a couple more moments he finally gave up as there was no point in pondering about it any longer

After determining this he gave off a long sigh and entered the estate with Saigai in toes

Entering the huge house the first thing Lorien did was look if there is any 'demonic' aura present, but after looking around for a while nothing was found

'So it just walked around outside and then left? was it monitoring this place?'

This was getting more and more puzzling and the lack of information made it hard to make a judgment of the situation

But unknown to Lorien he actually got it right, the demon was indeed monitoring this place

This was an order from Muzan as he started gathering information about those who killed the upper moon demons getting ready to retaliate

If Lorien knew this he would have had a headache as he didn't want to confront Muzan at the moment

It wasnt because he was afraid of him, with his current strength he could easily kill him

It's just that by killing him it'll end all other demons, and the current Nezuko was of course included in this list as her 'curse' wasnt broken yet

So if he were to do this his plans will come crashing down quite quickly

So, before turning Nezuko back into a human with immortality and special abilities, or at the very least breaking her connection with Muzan

Lorien doesn't want to go anywhere near Michael Jackson

But the current Lorien didn't know anything about this for now

So after feeling puzzled for a moment he shook gave up and walked into the house to prepare a safe place away from the sun for Nezuko to live in

After finding a big room in the center of the house, Lorien then used his ability to block all the locations where light could pass through, he then added some light sources such as Lanterns to the room

Following this he gently put the box down and opened it, revealing nezuko who was sitting inside

As soon as the box was opened Nezuko quickly got out her size returning to normal

"Ahhh, Finally!"

Sitting in a box for a very long time is very uncomfortable, so every time Lorien opens the box she would instantly spring out from inside

This was also the case in the past couple of nights

Looking at this Lorien couldn't help but smile

"This is your room, if you need anything else just tell me!"

Hearing this Nezuko looked around observing the place

This room was much bigger in size than the one at Urokodaki's house, it was lit up by a couple of lanterns but the light was still somehow soft, gently illuminating the beautiful patterns on the walls

There was one huge bed in the middle with a nightstand next to it, and on the left side stood a big wardrobe which was currently empty

Looking at this beautiful room Nezuko's eyes shone brightly as she has never been in such a 'luxurious' place

Seeing this Lorien laughed lightly and continued

"Well, I'll be going then, we'll start your 'healing' procedures tomorrow, you could rest for today"

After saying this he waved at her smilingly as he left in the direction of the Tree of Dreams

'Let's absorb the energy there first, then I'll perfect the breathing technique I got and then make a new custom one'

'Oh, following that I should find some time to take Saigai into a dream to help her practice there, I feel like a storm is nearing so I should help her grow stronger just in case'

'Ohh, and there is Nezuko also...'

'Sighh...Too many things to do'

Thinking of this his steps quickened trying to reach his destination faster
