Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 26 Mission: 05-5 Hymn
"Are you serious?"

Tracy was particularly surprised by this. "Honestly, you can stop worrying about this. Dante should have retrieved his things and will be here soon. He will take care of everything."

"I'm sure. No one can guarantee that their rampage won't affect the town, and everything they destroy here will become Credo's property in the future. And..."

Upon hearing Nero's words, Credo was tempted to refute him. But after thinking about it carefully, it was clear that both the Pope and Agnes were going to die. He was the one with the highest probability of becoming Pope.

Nero finished her words: "I still have some accounts to settle with those two people."

"……Yeah."

After listening to Nero's speech with her hands folded, Tracy closed her eyes and smiled helplessly: "Okay, I'll help you."

"Nero, you..."

"Credo, take Jillie back to town." Nero interrupted Credo. "The town and the cult need you now."

As if she could see Credo's worry, Tracy smiled and patted Credo's shoulder: "Don't worry, handsome, your sister will be fine. Even if she really loses, Dante will rescue her."

Nero also nodded at him: "Don't worry, I will help you fulfill your previous oath."

With both men saying so, Credo had no choice but to accept the arrangement. He nodded gently and said, "Be careful."

Then he turned around, holding Jillie and left the place where he had landed.

"Okay, let's get started."

Watching Credo leave, Tracy reached out and pressed Nero's shoulders, chuckled and said, "It might hurt a little, just bear with it."

pain?
This thought had just passed through Nero's mind when golden electric current flowed from Tracy's hand into Nero's body the next second.

Along with the pain and numbness, Nero felt that the magic power in her body, which had been depleted, began to recover rapidly, even exceeding her best state.

Is this... magic replenishment?
Nero, who had come to his senses, soon discovered that Tracy had turned into lightning and was flying into the air with him, heading straight for the Savior's head at an absolutely high speed.

"Is that how we can get in?" Tracy asked.

"It should be right."

The Savior was still randomly destroying everything nearby, so Tracy threw Nero at the Savior the moment he got close. Nero drew his sword in mid-air, slashed through the remains of the gem on the Savior's head, and crashed into it.

"Come on, pretty girl."

Tracy exited her lightning state, dodged the Savior's fist, and quickly moved away. After gaining sufficient distance, she looked back, folded her arms, and smiled, "Try to surprise that lazy idiot."

Inside the Savior, a sickening crimson space composed of demonic flesh, Agnus frantically attempted to regain control of the golem. Elsewhere, the Pope clutched the restless Spartan Blade, embedded in the heart-like center of the demonic creation, and muttered endlessly about his great ideals.

They hadn't failed yet. If they could regain control of the Savior, armed with the Spartan Blade, they still had a chance. If they could defeat either Dante or Nero, and swallow them into the Savior...

Suddenly, the room made of flesh and blood was cut by a flash of knife light, and the two people in the room looked over there in surprise.

Silver hair, red eyes, and a powerful magical power emanating from his entire body.

It was Nero, transformed from a demon. The Pope's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected Nero to come to the Savior's inner circle and fall into his trap. As long as they could control Nero here and restart the Savior, even Dante would be too late to stop them.

"Agnus!" the Pope excitedly called out his subordinate's name, drawing the Spartan Blade. His aged frame looked disproportionate to the greatsword, but his blood-red, pitch-black pupils and the magic patterns that covered his body transformed it into a strange sense of oppression.

"Hey!"

Agnas also quickly summoned two burning black demon dogs from the flesh and blood at his feet and grabbed them in his hands.

Facing the two men, who were standing ready, Nero let out a mocking smile. Without saying anything, she simply took the stage and saluted, just as she had rehearsed countless times for the Pope.

Agnus took action first. He urged the demon in his hand to shoot two head-shaped flaming missiles, aiming at Nero's feet.

The Pope wrapped himself in a transparent spherical shield and fired a series of magic missiles at Nero.

"O Sun! Our Savior, the Being that transcends all creation!"

This time, what sang from Nero's mouth was no longer an impromptu chant, but the hymn originally prepared for the Demon Sword Festival. It was a genuine hymn that had been passed down for a long time within the Demon Sword Cult.

She leaped back, avoiding the explosion beneath her feet, and stepped on the wall of flesh and blood behind her, transforming into a flash of blade that slashed at the Pope, who was also flying in the air. The sharp Yama Blade collided with the Pope's protective shield and was deflected backwards.

The Pope swung his magic sword, sending two black and red blades of light falling towards Nero in a cross shape. Nero stomped the air and leaped up again, his body lifted by the Yama Blade. Blue magic enveloped his red dress, like a two-toned rose.

"You give us sunshine and kindness. You are the source of hope for mankind!"

Amid the chanting, the faint blue blade light continued to rise through the light blade and hovered above the Pope's head.

Facing Nero who had a clear target, Agnas quickly finished loading the Cerberus Cannon in the corner and aimed at Nero in the air again.

Then, launch again.

Echidna was taken out by Nero in his demonic form for the first time. She swung her whip sword and detonated the two flaming missiles in mid-air.

"All the virtues in this world are embodied in you!"

The blast of air blew, and Nero seemed like a petal fluttering in the wind. She also moved with the wind, drifting away from the Pope.

Two UFO-like magical weapons flew out from behind the Pope, converging into two lasers that pointed directly at Nero who had fallen to the ground.

Nero leaped forward, spinning between two laser beams and landing at the Pope's feet. This time, she leaped straight up, the Yama Blade in her hand transforming into a cold, menacing crescent moon, rising from the demonic realm.

"I beg you! Lift up my eyes and let them bathe in your supreme light!"

The blade struck the shield once more, only to be deflected once more. The Pope, wielding the Spartan Blade, now possessed a near-infinite magical power, seemingly unrivaled in the world.

But Nero was not discouraged. After landing, she launched a Dimensional Slash, preparing to pass the blade directly in front of the Pope.

"O Supreme Light!"
