Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 428 Mission: 04-3 Raid
"It's been a long time since I've been to this disgusting place."

"Yes."

Before them was a completely shattered temple, floating in the void. The wriggling flesh had been painted like pure white marble, drifting back and forth in the void. Four of the six people present had been here before, and none of them had any fond memories of it.

Fortunately, now that it has become like this, it no longer brings back many memories.

In the depths of the shattered void, an ugly, shapeless, chaotic, colorless light kept wriggling, emitting waves of disgusting magical power.

"It's really scary when you look at it up close." Mr. Dante whispered.

"A powerful force that makes people feel afraid." Mr. Virgil commented.

"Are you afraid?"

"How can it be."

"I'm scared."

"what?"

Dante's eyes widened when he saw Virgil admitting his fear. Virgil glanced at him and said, "It's impossible not to be afraid. You wouldn't understand if you didn't have children."

"..."

Dante was very angry, but he seemed to have no excuse to refute.

This statement also effectively undermined Mr. Virgil. Facing Mr. Nero's scrutiny, Mr. Virgil could only reluctantly admit, "Well, a little. If I don't keep an eye on Dante, he won't even be able to support him in his old age."

"But there's still Nero."

"That's why I'm scared."

But even so, no one said they would back down.

"Just charging in... can we really do it?" Mr. Nero felt the terrifying pressure coming from the front, his voice trembling slightly. "I can't seem to find the so-called cup either."

"This is the only option we have," Virgil reiterated.

Mr. Dante looked into the depths of the demonic world and frowned. "Virgil over there, you said that the complete severing of the Spartan bloodline is the condition for Mondes to devour the world, right?"

"Yes."

"Then Nero, you go back," he said.

Of course, this would definitely draw Mr. Nero's disgust: "You trying this again? I'm no longer a burden!"

"It's not a question of whether it's a burden or not. We need to leave a way out—"

"What fallback? Do you think I can still fight Mondes if you all die?"

"I mean--"

"That's enough! The three of us must go back together, there's no other way!"

After a few words of argument, Mr. Nero transformed first and jumped into the dark purple void.

"Nero!" Mr. Dante stretched out his hand, shook his head angrily, transformed and chased after him.

"These two guys." Mr. Virgil also frowned and took off.

Nero looked at the three men and stuck out his tongue helplessly. Perhaps this is what they call "every family has its own problems."

"What do we say?" she turned to Dante and Virgil.

"Of course we're going too." Dante said, winking at Virgil, "Or do you want to be more ceremonial? Shall we count three, two, one?" "Three." Virgil uttered a word calmly.

"Are you serious? Okay, two."

"One," Nero said, giving the two of them a gentle push from behind. "Alright, let's go?"

The three of them jumped down from the edge of the broken earth and fell into the endless void.

Flying amidst the chaotic lightning and aurora, Nero gave Virgil a final confirmation: "Is this really okay? This guy could kill us all in an instant if he moves."

She had also briefly talked about Mondes in "that world" before. After borrowing the power of the integrated Mondes, that Mondes completely suppressed Nero with just one move and almost killed her on the spot.

"There's only a chance," Virgil replied. "Take a closer look at them."

Amidst the aura of uncertainty, the wriggling limbs rose and fell. Virgil explained, "They lack a shared consciousness. This bloated conglomerate, while powerful, transmits information very slowly. Initially, we only had to deal with one Mundus, then two, then three..."

As a special individual, Mondes, whom Nero was facing at the time, was the focus of attention, so it was not surprising that he was able to mobilize his power immediately.

"So we have to complete the mission before they fully react, right?" Dante said. "Indeed, I should be able to handle two or three Mondes for a while, but if there are more, it's hard to say."

"Quantitative change leads to qualitative change. Therefore, we must seize the Holy Grail before that 'qualitative change' occurs."

"understood."

Nero said. They were accelerating and gradually approaching the three people in front, and the three people were only one step away from the Mondes Integration.

Then, three evil eyes appeared in the void and light.

"...Isn't this someone I know well?" A hoarse voice boomed like thunder, yet in this space, surging with unimaginable magical energy and constantly producing lightning and thunder powerful enough to rip space apart and tear the world apart, it seemed as weak as a mosquito. "Why don't you continue to be your lumberjack? Are you so eager to die?"

"I still say that even if you die, I am still alive!"

Mr. Dante grinned and summoned a magic sword to pierce his chest, transforming into a true demon. He instantly accelerated and flashed in front of Mr. Nero, holding a huge magic black hole in his hands.

"Dante!"

"Stop talking so much and go in!"

As he'd said, the magical black hole created by Mr. Dante, with its unparalleled magical density, was constantly tearing apart the massive ball of light composed of countless Mondes souls. After hearing Virgil's words, he was absolutely certain that the so-called Holy Grail must be within this being, and therefore, he had to tear open his body to have a chance of seizing it.

Then, with a flash of cold light, Mr. Virgil appeared beside him. With the sharp flash of his blade, he severed the portion of light that Mr. Dante had pulled out, completely tearing a scar. Torn from the unified body, Mondes fell into Mr. Dante's black hole, even his final scream swallowed by darkness.

"Leave it to me." Mr. Virgil said, and rushed into it.

"Ah, I leave it to you." Mr. Dante said in a deep voice.

"...Sorry, uncle!" Mr. Nero then also got in.

Then, Mr. Dante maintained the black hole, expanding it continuously, and slammed into the unified Mondes, tearing out a twisted spiral: "Hurry up, you too!"

"Don't die."

"Remember to treat me to a sundae!"

Dante and Virgil followed suit.

More and more eyes appeared on the surface of the unified light ball, which also meant that more and more Mondes had noticed the abnormality here. Every second that followed was a countdown to their lives.

Nero nodded to Mr. Dante, and followed the crack into the center of the light.
