Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 444 Mission: 04-2 Green-Eyed Monster
Jealousy is the hostility towards something that you don't have but others have.

From this point of view, perhaps Nero should indeed be jealous of Mr. Nero, because his weapons "Scarlet Queen" and "Azure Rose" are so personal that they can be said to be symbols of his identity.

Nero lacked a weapon that could make her instantly recognizable—at least in her opinion.

As for Mr. Nero's other important feature - the ghost hand, this thing did make Nero jealous when she just awakened her bloodline, but this was reconciled after she was able to completely transform into a demon.

Therefore, she could understand that it was normal for Mr. Nero to be jealous of her. She was more capable than him, and was more loved by the elders than him. Her relationship with Credo was particularly prominent.

It's normal for him to be jealous. No one in this world can have everything, so it's normal to be jealous of others.

There is nothing wrong with this.

As the saying goes, "too much is as bad as too little." Original sin ultimately stems from exceeding one's limits. Honestly, if one doesn't harbor a shred of envy towards those who are clearly more talented, capable, and popular than oneself, then one is likely to be nothing more than a mediocre person wasting their life.

So, jealousy is jealousy. Nero is really jealous of the weapon in Mr. Nero's hand.

"In that case——"

Nero shouted, stretched out his hand and clenched it in front of him. The core of the monster "Invidia" appeared in his palm: "--Let me try my hand!"

The emerald green Sin Stone of Envy within her body unleashed its magical power, enveloping and permeating the core. Gnarled flesh rapidly grew around the core, gradually transforming into the form of a sword.

"Huh?" Mr. Nero's eyes widened, unsure of what Nero was up to. But what happened next was crystal clear: from the flesh-and-blood blade, hard scales sprouted. Thus, in Nero's hands, the Jealous Beast Heinvidia transformed into a sturdy, dragon-like magic sword, its magic core becoming the "engine" at the hilt.

Nero twisted the hilt of the sword, and a roar like a dragon's roar exploded in the engine.

"You—you're actually pirating right in front of me?!"

Mr. Nero's eyes widened, his expression filled with disbelief: "This is too much!"

Nero held his newly acquired magic sword in one hand and pulled out a pink revolver with rabbit ears from his bosom with the other. He opened the magazine and with a click, inserted another monster core that had almost completely lost its consciousness. Then he smiled brightly at Mr. Nero: "You are Nero, and I am also Nero. If you can use it, of course I can use it too. If you don't agree, come and fight me."

"Just wait! I'll be right there!"

Furious, Mr. Nero drew his sword and charged at him. Burning with rage, the Crimson Queen tore through the pool of blood, unleashing a crimson tidal wave, carrying Mr. Nero forward. In Nero's hand, the newly born demonic sword seemed to possess a consciousness of its own, spewing flames and lightning in an attempt to break free from Nero's grasp, carrying her towards Mr. Nero.

"Hey hey hey? This is too disobedient!" Nero tried hard to control the sword in his hand. All the skills he was proud of were unable to be displayed. In the end, he could only try his best to follow the trajectory of the sword and slash forward with all his strength.

Mr. Nero's upward thrust and Nero's own downward slash, the two greatswords propelled by flames collided heavily with each other.

Theoretically, the one who is slashing downwards can exert force more easily and can easily put all the muscle strength of the whole body on the sword edge, while the one who is striking upwards will suffer a loss in strength.

But in this confrontation, first of all, Mr. Nero himself is a strength-specialized player, and his brute force is beyond the reach of Dante and Virgil; in addition, Nero is not very familiar with the sword in his hand when he is not at an advantage in strength. Even if he tries hard to control it, the trajectory of the sword is still a little crooked, which aggravates the disadvantage in this collision.

At the moment of impact, because she couldn't control the thrust of the magic sword itself, the sword in her hand even tilted at the moment of the sword collision, and directly brushed past Mr. Nero's Scarlet Queen and smashed to the side.

Mr. Nero burst into laughter: "Hahahahaha, you deserve it!"

He swung his sword, the tip of the sword coming from below and instantly reaching Nero's jaw. If he didn't decisively abandon the sword at this moment and let it carry him away, it would be suicidal. If he hesitated for a moment longer, Invidia, dragging Nero forward, would cause Nero to crash headfirst into Mr. Nero's sword.

Nero's face flushed instantly amidst Mr. Nero's gloating sneers. But there was really nothing she could do. Growing up as a girl, she had never learned how to wield a power sword like Mr. Nero did. A weapon like this, requiring active coordination and adaptation, was completely inhumane to operate without the right technique. Nero could apply the same principles to normal weapons, but without instruction, she would never understand the power sword's mechanics.

This is why the modified power sword Scarlet Queen is the most suitable weapon for Mr. Nero. When using this sword, no matter how many skills you have with ordinary weapons, they are useless, and in the end, they are still not as powerful as the flying brick.

Nero loosened his grip, letting the magic sword, which had its own ideas, spin and escape on the ground. Gilgamesh covered his body at the fastest speed and was entangled in the mutton leg sleeves of his dress, allowing Nero to cross his hands to block the attack.

By then, Mr. Nero had already spun and leaped into the air, unleashing his classic "High Roller" move. The flaming blade poured its force into Nero's body, though the shock steel absorbed most of it, still preventing her from leaving the ground.

However, Mr. Nero's attack didn't stop there—the blade of the Power Sword detached from Nero and began to spin in the air, dragging him along with it. As he spun, a pair of blue winged claws served as Mr. Nero's second pair of fists, using the momentum of the spin to deliver a flurry of punches, ultimately sending the defensive Nero flying mid-air.

"My Crimson Queen isn't for everyone!" Mr. Nero laughed, energizing his Power Sword. After dissipating its upward momentum, he began to accelerate his descent. Hastily leaping sideways in the air, Nero swung his Constrictor Blade and snatched the fleeing He Sword, letting it carry him away at a rapid distance.

So, as if he wanted to show off his proficiency on purpose to make Nero angry, Mr. Nero stepped on the Scarlet Queen to brake in the air, and after completely stopping his fall with the help of his wing claws, he ignited the power sword again and launched a mid-air pursuit towards Nero.
