Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 105 Mission: 03-9 Invitation of Accomplice (Three Updates Completed)

Facing the attack from her, Nero did not panic. She quickly extended her sharp claws, grabbed the wrist of the opponent swinging the knife, and slashed at the other hand that was pinching her neck.

At the same time, she glared at the fake in front of her and scolded, "You're just a fake without any sense. Know your place!"

After forcing her to release her hand, Nero kicked her away and launched a sneak attack with his Yama Blade, piercing through space. However, the pirated Nero controlled by Toyokawa Shoko blocked the blow with his sword and did not continue to attack Nero.

Nero then discovered the difference between this counterfeit and himself—she wasn't a replica of Nero, but rather a "Nero in memory" extracted from a certain memory. This Nero in this memory hadn't yet unleashed the true power of the Yama Blade, so the blade in her hand only had the same, tougher appearance.

Then, the same should be true for other monsters born from memories. Their strength is not the same as in reality, but will change drastically due to the subjective perspective of the memory owner.

However, this doesn't mean they're easy to deal with. The Nero knockoff Xiangzi created was Nero who had just unleashed a full-strength attack from his Arrogant Demon form, so her full-strength attack should be comparable to Nero's. The Demon Pillar and the Savior, on the other hand, were created from Nero's memories, both displaying at least a majority of their true strength, and thus likely not much different from the real thing.

After a new arrogant demon joined the opponent, Nero's "Supreme Star" power was also offset, and now the enemies should be in their prime.

At the top of the savior tower, Toyokawa Shoko said: "I can give you a chance now, Miss Samael."

"Chance?" Nero asked, feeling a little ridiculous. "Do you think you can defeat me?"

"Is not it?"

Xiangzi commanded the Savior, the Demon Pillar, and the fake Nero to form a triangle array covering the open space, alerting Nero's actions while vaguely surrounding her: "As long as I am under this red moon, I am the strongest demon."

Nero glanced back and forth at the fake who was slowly moving behind him and the savior who was gradually approaching, and asked, "What do you want to say?"

"Cooperate. Or at least don't interfere with each other." She offered her invitation condescendingly, "Your true enemy shouldn't be us. Accept the blood of the Red Moon, and you will possess the same power as me."

"How generous," Nero replied, half mockingly. She could guess that the so-called "blood of the red moon" was the blood of the demon that created this world, but regardless of whether this demon's bloodline was more noble than the blood of Sparta—

Since Shoko Toyokawa dared to take it out like this, it proved that she was sure that Nero who drank this blood could not pose a threat to her.

Only a fool would accept such an invitation.

Xiangzi understood Nero's subtext and said with a hint of annoyance: "Do you think you have the right to refuse?"

"How will you know if you don't try?"

Nero drew out the Yama Sword, slashed it across the air, and tore through space to reach the savior's head.

Surrounded? That was useless to Nero. When the previously condensed sword of arrogance was destroyed, she had already used the fragments of the blade to mark the savior. As long as she wanted, she could break through all obstacles and reach Xiangzi at any time!

But Nero's attack was in vain. By this time, Toyokawa Shoko had sunk into the Savior's inner circle, just like the Pope—the downside of knowing the enemy too well was that all those moves had now been learned.

"How barbaric." Her voice echoed from within the Savior: "How dare you pretend to be a lady like this?" "If you think being a lady means only using your words to deal with people, you are completely wrong!"

Nero jumped back into the air, avoiding the poisonous smoke released by the Demon Pillar along the surface of the Savior Body. He flapped his wings and hung in the air, condensing a giant sword again.

This time, the target was the top of the savior's head.

The giant sword was released, but before it touched the savior's body, the fake Nero flew over again at high speed and condensed the same attack to offset it.

It seemed that he really couldn't defeat Toyokawa Shoko, who had the advantage of terrain. Nero thought so and began to think about retreating.

This trip had yielded more than enough. After several rounds of combat, Nero had essentially confirmed that the power of lust did not lie with the master of the Red Moon World. By process of elimination, then, the mysterious "Little Ace," who controlled so many young girls to slay demons for him, was likely the true master of lust.

If it wasn't him, then why did he only choose girls? Wouldn't using magic tools to exorcise demons be more appealing to boys?

Nero then thought about how, according to Lenai's description, Little Ace resembled a rabbit, an animal considered the embodiment of lust. Even more unfortunate was the fact that the other party was related to the moon, making it natural for Little Ace to target him.

Judging from the piece of demon flesh that carries the power of both Red Moon and Lust, the two demons have probably already begun a fierce battle, both openly and covertly, and the girls in front of them are just their agents in public.

Furthermore, it seemed that Hongyue was at a disadvantage, even having a piece of flesh torn off, which was truly humiliating. Therefore, there was no need for Nero to pursue them relentlessly. Wouldn't it be more beneficial to just let Hongyue seek revenge on Little Ace and then add insult to injury?
As for how to leave here...

Nero swung his knife again, this time aiming at a magic rose she had left in her apartment. Using it as a location, Nero could return to his residence in the blink of an eye.

"Varied?!"

But after the blade was swung, something unexpected happened. Nero couldn't lock onto the flower he had created with his magic. How could this be possible? Even if he was really in the demon world, the distance between the two worlds wouldn't be enough to make Nero's sense of his magic ineffective?

Nero suddenly looked up and observed the world under the moon.

"That's right, you can't escape." Toyokawa Shoko gracefully reappeared. "Doloris's barrier has covered this city. You can't pass through it."

They had actually forgotten there was a fifth person! Nero felt his own arrogance inflicted upon him, and at the same time he couldn't help but wonder if he had been influenced by the evil spirit of arrogance again.

But the problem now is not this, but how should she escape?
The three memory monsters surrounded them again, countless demons were crying out for food on the ground, and the sky was covered with a "sad" barrier.

Where else can I escape?
Is he forced to accept her proposal?

Nero's brain was working rapidly. But at this moment, another change occurred.

Xiangzi's eyes suddenly changed, and he whispered in surprise and a little panic: "Wait, a light?!"
