Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 435 Mission: 02-1 Falling Apart
"What?! You said the Warcraft He was taken away?!"

In the former simulated singularity, now the "tourist city of Babylon", Draco's voice resounded through the sky.

Not long ago, the newly formed three-person team broke through the encirclement of heroic phantoms and boarded the elevator to the upper world. Just thinking about this process made Mr. Nero feel tired, because there were too many people who appeared out of nowhere.

"Yes, don't let me repeat it again, fool."

In the hotel lobby, the blond man known as King Gilgamesh had an impatient expression on his face. "You can chase after them or do anything else you want, but I don't have what you want here. Do you understand?"

"You're supposed to be a floor guard, right? How can you be so irresponsible about your job?!"

Facing the passive Gilgamesh, Draco let out a sound of astonishment.

"Hooh?"

Hearing Draco's condemnation, Gilgamesh narrowed his eyes slightly, a mysterious light flashing in his scarlet pupils: "Work? You mean guarding the monsters? That's interesting - if the king is really serious about this, then what is the point of you coming here?"

This question stumped Draco for a moment. Indeed, her purpose in coming to this simulated singularity was to recover the sealed monster He. Given that the Hierarchy Guardians would hand over the sealed monster He of their own accord, why did she insist on handing it over to the defeated Sixth Beast? This posed a problem.

"There's actually still people fighting for the Demonic Beast, He?" The one who expressed great astonishment at this was the newly joined team, Setant. Originally coming to hunt down the Sixth Beast, he had reluctantly sided with them temporarily in order to help Ritsuka.

"It looks like it will be a good show, so I will magnanimously help her." Gilgamesh said, waving his hand and turning away. "Will it be an ugly curtain call or a shocking encore? I will wait and see."

This time no one stopped him.

"Lord Nero...what, what, what should I do?"

Mr. Nero instinctively turned his head and saw Rocusta, draped in a purple robe and resembling a triangular mushroom, clutching Draco's skirt with a mournful expression. This man was said to be Nero Claudius's personal poisoner, and this time, he had inexplicably appeared to serve his master once again. Draco gritted his teeth and clenched his fists at her question, standing there in silence.

"Was it another Nero who took the monster He?" Ritsuka asked hurriedly after coming to her senses. But Gilgamesh, who could have answered the question, had already left, so she turned to the guards nearby for help.

"That must be it." Mr. Nero speculated, but still listened carefully to the questions that Ritsuka asked the guards.

Even now, many soldiers still trembled at the mention of that extremely violent troublemaker. Ritsuka successfully learned the man's appearance from the ones who trembled the most.

"Long blond hair, a black and red dress, and a very evil smile?"

Ritsuka repeated the information he had received, scratching his head in confusion. "To plant someone in the ground in a very polite tone, this..."

"It's definitely her," Mr. Nero confirmed. This was the Nero Fortuna who favored false politeness and piety, and he even suspected that there might be fake height-enhancing shoes in his shoes.

Ritsuka looked Draco up and down for a moment, then stroked his chin and said, "...Nero Alter?"

Mr. Nero said he didn't understand what she was talking about.

"Master, what should we do now?" The blue-haired boy, Setant, folded his hands and looked at Ritsuka, and with the corner of his eye he gestured to Draco, who lowered his head and remained silent: "Can we say that this guy is useless?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Lokusta immediately stopped crying, bared his teeth and took out the poisonous mushrooms used to make poison from his arms.

"Calm down! Locusta, calm down!" Ritsuka hurriedly comforted the other party and said that he would not do anything bad to Draco now, but Setant's words still hit his weak spot in his heart.

The beast He was taken away, so if Draco wanted to return to his full form, he had to defeat the so-called "Nero Alter." But... She took a deep breath and asked Draco, "Draco, do you know what Nero wants to do?"

Draco raised his head and answered without hesitation: "...I'm afraid she is planning to replace me."

"Replace...?" Mr. Nero frowned.

Indeed, this seemed to make sense. Sharing the same name as Nero, and also holding the Holy Grail, if Nero could devour the demon beast He and not be devoured by it in return, he could become the new "Sixth Beast" in this world.

"I was right," Draco continued. "From the first time we met, I felt that there was an aura in that guy that was very similar to that of the Warcraft He..."

This was something Mr. Nero didn't understand. He immediately interrupted and asked, "You mean from the beginning? From the moment she and I appeared?"

"Yes."

After Draco finished speaking, he closed his eyes and sighed: "Forget it, I'm tired. Let's go back."

“…Huh?” Ritsuka widened his eyes.

"What's there to be confused about? When that guy becomes the new Sixth Beast, even if you are still my Master, you will no longer be the Master of the Beast. There will be no need for you to continue helping me."

Draco, who had been so arrogant in front of Ritsuka before, seemed to have lost all his vitality for a moment, looking like a walking corpse: "Hound over there, come and rip out my throat."

"No!!!" Locusta quickly opened his arms and blocked Draco's way. "Lord Nero, even if you need someone to see you off to the grave, it can't be this wild dog with no sense of taste!"

"Huh?! Mushroom girl, are you trying to piss me off? Well, you succeeded!"

The situation instantly became chaotic.

"...I told you to get out of here if you want to fight me! Stop damaging my floor tiles!"

Gilgamesh's voice echoed from behind the stairs: "Even if I cut off all your heads, it wouldn't be enough compensation!"

In the chaos, Ritsuka looked for help at Mr. Nero, the last one who was still relatively normal.

He walked forward silently and held the shoulder of Draco, who was almost one-third his height.

Yes, that's it! Ritsuka cheered in his heart.

But Mr. Nero's question was: "Can you tell me in detail what you saw on that guy?"

I fell! Ritsuka fainted on the ground.

"...Oh? What's going on now?"

Li Xiang, who was covering his forehead, raised his head and saw a woman in white clothes, white hair, and holding a small white umbrella walking towards him.

Stopped at the door of the hotel.
