Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 25 Mission: 05-4 Hypocrite

In the center of the battlefield, Tracy imitated the Pope's previous tone and asked, "How long do you think it will take to cross eight time zones?"

"Dante is here?" Nero asked with some surprise.

Credo turned his head and looked at her, feeling a little confused.

But now was not the time for discussion. Agnus had brought Kyrie back to the battlefield, and now they had to get her back first.

"Agnas, bring the men here!"

The Pope, controlling the Savior, shouted and continued to pursue the three. Now that Dante had arrived on the island, it was only a matter of time before their plan was thwarted. The Pope and his men's only chance of success was to get Nero inside the Savior before Dante arrived.

Only by obtaining Nero's bloodline and magic power can the savior rival Dante.

To do this, they must first allow Jillie to merge in and serve as a hostage who cannot be taken away.

"Let her go!"

Credo attacked in anger and instantly appeared behind Agnas. The blade in his hand flashed, and he took Agnas' life.

"Oh oh oh oh oh!" Agnas turned around instantly, holding Jillie in front of him and saying, "You'd better think it through!"

The Pope once again blasted the ground with lasers, forcing Nero and Tracy to hide.

Seeing Credo being restrained and forced to stop, Nero raised his head and instantly unsheathed the Yama Blade.

The burst of magic blew away the dust, attracting the attention of the Pope and Agnus. Nero gave Tracy a look and leaped up to rush towards the towering Savior.

"A dazzling figure in a colorful robe!"

The Yama Blade flashed, crossing space and leaving a deep sword mark on the jewel on the Savior's chest. Nero's chant followed: "O man of stone, covered in gold and jade!"

The Pope was startled by her attack and quickly stepped on her. Taking this opportunity, Tracy disappeared from below and flew high into the sky like a bolt of lightning.

The Pope saw it clearly. It was too late to warn Agnes now. Kyrie would surely be snatched away by those two. But for them, this presented both a danger and an opportunity. Nero was the only one standing in the way of the savior. If they could capture him, the situation would be reversed in an instant.

Nero flipped over and leaped onto the savior's feet, running upward as if walking on flat ground. The principle of doing this was simple: all he had to do was use his magic to press himself against the savior.

The Pope missed a step and released several black and gold magic balls from the gem on the savior's body, surrounding Nero.

"You are a hypocrite who advises others to contribute, but keeps to yourself!"

Nero spun and swung his blade, breaking out from between the magic balls and landing on the gem at the savior's knee with a leap.

"Your words are the source of misfortune, and your steps are the beginning of sin!"

She raised her Yama Blade high and thrust it downward, piercing through the massive sapphire. The flow of magical energy within the Savior's body instantly became disrupted, and its massive form lost its balance.

At the same time, Nero drew his sword and leaped back, dodging the savior's swinging hand. He gestured to sheath the sword in the air. The Yama Blade once again tore through space, shattering the gem on the other knee.

"Your soul will go to hell, and your body will be trampled underfoot by thousands of people!"

The magic power in both legs lost control, and the savior's body went limp, falling to his knees. His heavy knees smashed the floor of the place where he had descended.

Nero's attack and her impromptu chant clearly irritated the Pope, who directed the kneeling Savior to raise his hands and stretch them toward the suspended Nero.

"You understand nothing!" the Pope shouted in a frantic voice. "The world has gone astray, and I must correct it!
“This is the mission God has given me!”

The Savior's hands gradually approached. One hand moved forward, forcing Nero to dodge; the other moved backward, ready to block Nero's escape space.

If we get caught here, all our efforts will be wasted.

Nero took the time to glance in the direction of Agnas, who was now being pursued by Tracy, who had transformed into lightning, and had been shot through the chest by bullets of light and shadow.

Now that Jillie is safe, Nero can't fall behind.

Nero leaped into the air without dodging. She chose to deliver her final blow.

Nero unsheathed the Yama Blade in a scimitar-like motion and slashed forward. The final line of the hymn rang out from her lips at the same time:

"Let gold break your neck, and jade nails fasten your limbs!"

Five lines of lyrics, four phantoms, a single figure swinging a sword. In an instant, five flashes of sword light flashed simultaneously, and the five blue gems on the savior's head, chest, hands, and back shattered. A crack pierced the center of each gem, and then the entire gem disintegrated into crystalline fragments.

The savior, already kneeling on the ground, completely exhausted, fell forward. The Pope's voice rang out again, but it was filled with fear.

"Damn it, this shouldn't be the case. The savior isn't here yet, and he can't fall yet! Agnus!"

He didn't even need to shout, the seriously injured Agnes left Jillie behind and fled into the Savior at a rapid speed.

"Yes, that's it-"

The next second, the fallen Savior suddenly began to frantically hammer the ground. The magic core within it burned fiercely, causing the colossus to wreak destruction.

After the transformation was complete, Nero, who had regained his blond hair, dodged the attack and returned to Credo and Tracy, asking, "What happened?"

"They caused the Savior's energy source to go out of control." Credo held Jillie in his arms with a serious expression.

Nero asked in surprise, "Energy source?"

This time it was Tracy who answered: "Spartan Blade."

Facing Nero, who turned to look at her, Tracy explained, "What they used as the Savior's energy source was the Blade of Sparta. That sword holds nearly infinite magical power, but only those with Spartan blood can fully master it."

Nero finally understood the Savior's construction. The in-game description of the statue was vague, and Nero only knew it required the Spartan Blade and Spartan Blood to be complete. Now, he learned that the Spartan Blood served as the controller for the Spartan Blade.

"So they're completely out of control now?" Nero looked at the Savior who was attacking recklessly in front of him, took a breath and said, "Miss Gloria, can you do me another favor?"

"Hmm?" Tracy tilted her head and glanced at her. "What do you want to do?"

Nero touched his chest and said, "Send me in."

"Nero, you—" Credo immediately wanted to stop him, but after seeing Nero's eyes, he realized that he was serious: "What are you planning?"

"We can't let them run wild like this." Nero looked straight ahead, his gaze fixed on the Savior. "Only I can use the Yama Blade, only I can control the Spartan Blade, so...

"I'm the only one here who can stop them."
