Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 433 Mission: 01-3 Three-person team
The blade dragged the flames, the flames driving his body. Surrounded by shadows, Mr. Nero stretched his muscles, grasping the spear that emerged from the ground and spinning it to strike. Then, with terrifying brute force, he brought it down on the golden wall of light, sending a deafening roar.

“It’s quite tricky.”

He frowned, his eyes fixed on the iris flag in the crowd.

These are the Heroic Spirits, ghosts who have awakened from history to fight to protect the future of humanity.

"That's ridiculous."

But at this point, he could only accept this. The echoes of the Heroic Spirits were emerging from every corner of the world, intent on slaying the imperiled Beast and its Master. Mr. Nero had originally believed he shouldn't be an enemy of humanity, but putting the Beast aside, he couldn't just stand by and watch Ritsuka, an "ordinary person," be slain by the echoes.

What? Ritsuka saved the world once, so he's not an ordinary person? This question is a matter of opinion, but Mr. Nero thinks so.

The problem now lies in the echoes of the Heroic Spirits summoned by the Holy Grail. Perhaps because the Beast 666 is described as the "Antichrist," it is clear that among the phantoms of the Heroic Spirits there are countless believers, saints, and the like, and these are the ones that Mr. Nero finds most difficult.

The phantoms naturally couldn't possess the same power as their true form, and it was difficult for them to injure Mr. Nero with their attacks. But when the saints prayed for God's protection, the descending light seemed to truly bring about the concept of "invulnerability," constantly hindering his attacks.

Another punch slammed into the light wall. Mr. Nero, his wrist aching from the shock, jumped back to avoid the enemy's counterattack and complained, "I told you I hate these church members the most."

Except for Jillie and Credo, he added quietly.

He then grabbed the crystal carriage that was speeding past him, leaped high into the air, and slammed it down in front of him. As the earth trembled, he also fell to the ground, killing those dark ghosts in droves.

However, even though Mr. Nero now knows the origin of this world, understands the rules of this world, and knows the identities of the actors on the stage - there is only one thing that remains a complete mystery.

In the interval between battles, he raised his head and looked towards the distant sky, recalling the figure that disappeared in the clouds.

Nero—Nero Fortuna, what on earth was she planning to do?
From the fact that the Holy Grail was once owned by Draco, and Nero's attempts to secure Draco's aid, Mr. Nero could discern that Nero intended to tamper with the Holy Grail in order to defeat the Demon Emperor. However, even if the seven heads of the seven-headed decahorned beast were severed, the existence now considered the Sixth Beast would still be a fragmented Draco. How could she reunite the seven heads into a new beast? And what kind of help could she expect from it?
"You left me here without any explanation. I will definitely make you pay when the time comes!" He complained in a low voice with gritted teeth, smashed the last saint's shadow into the ground, and turned into light smoke.

He then turned and returned to the ruins of the theater.

"This isn't going to work, is it?" Having cleared out the enemies, Mr. Nero leaned against the broken wall and peered out from the shattered windowsill. Sure enough, dark clouds were gathering in the distance. "These guys are truly endless."

"Yes. For the three of us here, I'm afraid we only have one choice." Draco leaned quietly against the huge picture frame and said calmly: "I will continue to live in ugliness, the Master wants to leave this world, and you..."

Ritsuka followed Draco's gaze and looked at Mr. Nero: "So, why is Mr. Nero here? You seem to be a living person like me, right?"

"I was brought here by that damn cup." Mr. Nero felt annoyed when talking about this - even if he lost the Holy Grail, the unified form of Mondes would probably not be a formidable opponent. He was now very worried about the safety of the four people who were left in the original world.

"Cup? The Holy Grail?!"

"Yes, it's Yu's Holy Grail. It was stolen after I was defeated." Ritsuka fell into thought. This might be her talent. Even in the most critical situation, she can force herself to calm down and think of a solution. "The Holy Grail was stolen, and the seven demon beasts Heya were also divided... Was it done by the other Chaldea who defeated you as you said?"

"no."

Draco shook his head: "That man... called himself Nero. I can't tell if that was another me."

"...Another self?"

"She's another me," Mr. Nero corrected, frowning, "but I'm not sure what she's going to do either."

In the critical situation, the three "Neros" each had their own ideas and the situation was very chaotic.

But even so, Fujimaru Ritsuka still said with a strong mentality: "I understand the situation. Anyway, Draco, you mean that if I want to leave this universe, I must make you a complete beast again, right?"

"That's right, you understand it quickly, Master Yu." Draco nodded.

According to what Draco had just said to Ritsuka, since she had signed a contract with her, she had become a beast—a part of humanity's evil. Therefore, Ritsuka would face hostility from the world, viewed as an enemy by the heroic spirits of this universe, and unable to escape. To dissolve this relationship, Draco would have to become a beast again, using the beast's ability—"independent manifestation"—to manifest in any space and time without being summoned, thus invalidating the contract.

"And you want to become a beast again, and to do that you need to take back the separated demon beast, He..."

Restoring this historical enemy of humanity was indeed a difficult decision. However, Fujimaru Ritsuka, a person who had defeated beasts numerous times before, didn't linger on this matter for too long. She then looked at the gloomy Mr. Nero and asked, "So, Mr. Nero, what are your requests?"

"I need to find the remaining Nero," he replied simply, "She's gone after the fleeing monster He."

"The demon beasts are part of the beasts, which means they are also enemies of this universe. They can't escape far," Draco said calmly. "My guess is that they have probably been sealed away by the heroic spirits guarding the simulated singularity."

"What is a simulated singularity?"

"This is a simulated world I created to simulate the work of the First Beast. This part of the universe is also my bait to devour the savior (Fujimaru Ritsuka) in the infinite parallel universe."

"Uh... well."

Ritsuka accepted Draco's declaration of "swallowing" her with difficulty: "In other words, our destination is the same. In this case -"

Everything that follows must start with breaking through the encirclement of the phantoms.
