"Stop right there!" Inosuke, seeing the {female demon} fleeing, immediately gave chase.
Tanjiro, witnessing Inosuke's impulsiveness, tried to call out, "Inosuke—"
But Inosuke ignored him; a {demon} was within reach, and he couldn't restrain himself.
The fleeing {female demon}, seeing Inosuke approaching, cried out in alarm, "Papa!"
Inosuke, mistaking her for addressing him, replied, "Who's your papa?! I'm not even a grown man yet!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a shadow fell over him, as if something immense was descending.
Inosuke stopped and looked up.
"Danger! Inosuke!!" Tanjiro shouted.
Inosuke looked up to see a gigantic figure looming above, descending with immense pressure.
Inosuke leaped backward. The figure landed, sending a massive wave crashing through the river.
The figure shook its long white hair, revealing a terrifying face—a spider-like visage.
The being the {female demon} had called "Papa" was a {spider-faced demon}.
This {spider-faced demon} possessed an enormous physique, far larger and more robust than the {headless demon} they had previously encountered.
"Aaaaagh!"
The {spider-faced demon} let out a warning roar, then spoke, "Don't approach my family!"
It swung its powerful arm, delivering a lightning-fast punch toward Inosuke. Inosuke leaped back, narrowly avoiding the blow.
The {demon}'s fist smashed the rock Inosuke had just left, shattering it and sending up a huge spray of water.
"I'll leave it to you, Papa!" the {female demon} murmured, disappearing into the dense forest.
The {spider-faced demon}, having missed, delivered another punch at the still-airborne Inosuke.
Inosuke, mid-air, was unable to dodge again.
Realizing Inosuke's danger, Tanjiro crouched, leaped, and landed above them.
"Water Breathing, Second Form, Water Wheel!"
He drew his Nichirin Blade and, using a spinning attack, struck the {spider-faced demon}'s arm aimed at Inosuke.
To Tanjiro's surprise, his blade didn't sever the arm but became embedded in the demon's flesh.
