Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 110 Mission: 04-5 Blood Moon Princess (Part )
Nero leaped high, his long sword pointed toward the sky. His burning aura tore through the deep purple poisonous rain. A string of phantom blue swords shot through the air, aiming directly at Toyokawa Shoko, who was floating in the air.

Xiangzi looked at Nero through the mask, and was momentarily dazed. However, Hailing appeared behind her at the right time, leading her into the shadows and avoiding the attack.

"Boss." Hailing reminded Xiangzi calmly, "Focus."

"Feel sorry."

Xiangzi reappeared, appearing above the savior's head, and his voice echoed through the city through the red moon: "The negotiations broke down. 'Death', 'Love', take action."

"understood."

"Received~"

The two people who were called responded immediately, and the demons controlled by them took action and forcefully drilled into the poisonous rain created by Lixi.

Nero quickly glanced down and judged that Lixi was definitely not enough to deal with so many enemies, but she was unable to free her hands for the time being. At least she had to find a way to force Xiangzi, who was driving the "savior", to retreat.

"I have seen Him in the heavens that receive His light most—" She sang the impromptu hymn again, tearing through space to avoid the attack of the Demon Pillar and landing on the Savior's chest. The long blade in her hand instantly pierced the core crystal in its chest.

"Well!"

At that moment, Xiangzi frowned and made a dull sound. This surprised Nero instead - the savior was just a projection extracted from Nero's memory, so why would its pain be passed on to Xiangzi?

Soon, Nero knew the answer to his question. Within the spatial scar Nero had created, a faint pink light flashed, and then two figures fell into this world.

One had claws on his limbs, the other held a pair of long blades. Both landed safely on the ground, standing beside Li Xi, unharmed by the fall.

It was Nagasaki Shoyo and Kaname Rakuna.

Nero immediately understood why Xiangzi was injured: someone had used the space channel Nero had opened to break the barrier and forcibly send the two people in. This action harmed the world itself, and in turn, Xiangzi was also hurt.

The person who did this was obvious—a demon named Little Ace, suspected of possessing the power of lust. As always, it was cautious, not giving Nero the chance to see its true form.

Nero twisted the blade, completely destroying the magic crystal on the savior's chest, then jumped back out of its body and spoke to Xiangzi again: "I see, that's what happened."

Although Nero pretended to be talking to himself, Xiangzi knew that he was testing her. She said coldly, "If you want to ask something, you might as well say it openly."

Shuangshi and Lenai fell into the demonic throng, but their agility and close-quarters combat style didn't hinder their abilities like Lixi's. They likely wouldn't be injured until their strength was exhausted. Lenai, in particular, had learned many techniques from Nero, making any mishaps even more unlikely.

Nero retracted his gaze, looked at the savior in front of him, and expressed his conjecture: "If it weren't for that little Ace's sudden action, I might not have seen through the true situation of this world.

"This place... isn't some separate 'world', but rather the body of a certain demon, right?"

Xiangzi didn't answer, but Nero became more certain of his guess: "To be more precise, this is inside 'you'. The real Xiangzi has merged with this terrifyingly huge demon, and you - you are just a phantom, or a 'prisoner', who cannot leave this place."

Finally, Xiangzi spoke slowly: "Yes, so what?"

"It just made me figure out some things." Nero cut through space again, disappeared from the attack of the Demon Pillar, and appeared on the shoulder of the Savior: "For example, why are you the only one who can display such powerful power in this world, why do you never show up in the real world, and also...

The savior's palm slapped over, and Nero jumped on it and pierced another magic crystal with the Yama Blade. "For example, why did you abduct so many girls?"

"tell me the story?"

"Because you can't support the existence of this demon alone." Nero answered firmly, "In order to maintain your own existence, you let those girls enter here, using their sleeping hearts as a support for this place—"

"That's basically it." Xiangzi didn't deny the statement, but corrected it, "But my body isn't as vast as this world. This is indeed a spiritual world, a spiritual world that exists within me."

"So as long as I drink your blood, I will no longer be a threat to you."

"I won't give you this chance again." Xiangzi's tone was as cold as frost.

"I never said I would accept it."

Nero leaped into the air again, activating the Pride Stone to transform herself into an incomplete Pride Demon—specifically, her wings appeared, and she gained some of her power while in her demonic form. This was her strongest form, a fusion of her two transformation modes, which she had finally mastered after long periods of actual combat.

Even using the boundless magic power of the arrogant demon, it is the ultimate blow that drives the demon to awaken.

She flapped her wings and floated in the air, like an angel of condemnation, and delivered her verdict in a cold voice: "You are indeed a complete devil, Toyokawa Shoko."

In response to Nero's accusation, Toyokawa Shoko replied calmly, "I don't remember ever denying it."

Nero did not respond, but continued with his previous sentence: "Now, tell me your real name.

"Not this phantom before me. But the whole you, your real name."

"very curious?"

Xiangzi laughed coldly: "Then remember this name well in your heart - and then, take it to the grave."

The blue-haired girl appeared from above the savior's head, stood under the crimson moonlight, and lifted the hem of her skirt again.

At the same time, another illusory figure appeared behind Xiangzi, looming between her and the bright moon above her head.

The figure lived up to its name of "demon." It was emaciated, its ribs crisscrossing its exposed spine like bloodstained teeth. Two long, flexible tails trailed behind it, and its hollow face was covered in tentacle-like hair.

"I am the incarnation of the blood moon."

Toyokawa Shoko raised her head, looked at Nero with bloodshot eyes, and replied: "The devil from the moon, the master of blood and moon, 'Moon Blood Princess'—

"People call her 'Nanna'."
