Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 446 Mission: 04-4 Pointless Fight
As time passed, the battle between Nero and Mr. Nero gradually changed.

After confirming he couldn't wield the same power sword as the Scarlet Queen, Nero temporarily put it away and returned to his usual weapon. Fact proves that the best is what suits you. Even if you covet something, you might not actually enjoy it once you actually possess it.

People always think that what they cannot get is good, and this mentality will never go out of date in human beings.

"I say, this isn't fair!"

Therefore, Mr. Nero shouted during a break in the battle: "You've already played with the Power Sword, you should also play with the Yama Blade for me, right?"

Nero made a face at him: "If you want it, come and get it yourself. You know the rules~"

"...Okay, I guessed you would say that." Mr. Nero continued to swing his sword in annoyance.

"After all, you didn't give me the Scarlet Queen to play with." Nero took them one by one easily.

After a brief setback at the start, Nero quickly regained his form thanks to his weapon advantage, and the battle between the two sides was now strangely evenly matched.

As mentioned before, accustomed to being led by his sword, Mr. Nero's customary fighting style is to control the sword, accelerate, accelerate again, and finally add a little overwhelming force, and that's it. Therefore, his moves are not straightforward, but simple and unpretentious.

Conversely, Nero, who began the fight with the Constrictor Sword, a weapon she lacked the necessary skill to wield, was in a nearly opposite situation. She rarely engaged opponents head-on with weapons, so facing Mr. Nero's powerful slashes, she simply pummeled the Scarlet Queen's side with her weapon, providing a minor distraction while deftly dodging Mr. Nero's attacks.

She was wielding the "King of Cerberus," a three-section staff capable of transforming freely into various forms. It was also a weapon renowned for its skill. As the saying goes, "a young man's fist fears a strong man, a staff fears an old man." The more experienced a person is, the more difficult it is to defeat long weapons like staffs and spears.

"I've wanted to ask this before, how much did those two old men teach you?" Mr. Nero shouted.

Nero swung his staff, firmly blocking Mr. Nero's Crimson Queen outside his defensive circle. "I only had a sparring match with Dante, you know?"

"Sparring? Are you sure it's just sparring?"

"Yeah, it's not like I have any other reason to fight him."

Recalling his first encounter with Dante, Mr. Nero swung his sword even more vigorously: "Damn it, is this what spoiling is?!"

"I think you might need to look for the reason within yourself." Nero smiled and winked, teasing, "Am I just too unlikable?"

"How can you blame yourself for everything? This is obviously Dante's problem, right?!"

As he spoke, the greatsword in his hand accelerated again, and the frame smashed into the ground, stirring up a blood wave as high as a person, and at the same time created countless astonishingly large pits, continuously reducing the average altitude of this area.

But even though each blow was deflected by Nero, his sword-swinging speed remained unaffected. He raised his sword again and struck it down so fast that even the human eye couldn't follow it. The force of each blow, along with all the magic power he had imbued in the sword, poured into the ground, creating pits and depressions that seemed to be truly turning the presidential palace into a vast lake.

"But seriously, Dante did answer a lot of my questions."

Nero put away his smile and became more serious as she said: "Otherwise I can't figure out how to perform the so-called 'Dimensional Slash'."

"Figured it out?!" Mr. Nero raised his voice. "Are you saying you figured out how to use the Yama Blade to cut through space?"

"Ah? No. Do I need to think about cutting through space or something? I can do it once I get it."

Nero looked Mr. Nero in the eyes sincerely and said so.

So Mr. Nero finally couldn't hold back and cursed: "You... Damn it, you are just mocking my stupidity?!" "Is that so?!"

“F--k!”

"Okay, okay, I don't blame you. I guess you never thought that the Yama Blade could be used in this way, right? After all, judging by your face, you don't like to use your brain."

"you……"

So this time it was Mr. Nero's turn to blush, the difference was that Nero was embarrassed before, but now he was angry.

At this moment, Nero, who had been passively defending, finally took the initiative. She swung her stick again to deflect Mr. Nero's heavy blow. The rising flames instantly evaporated the surrounding blood, and a large amount of steam rose, obscuring their vision.

Then, in the steam, a flash of lightning flashed.

The moment Nero deflected Mr. Nero's attack, he disintegrated the long staff in his hand. The nunchaku connected by lightning and magnetism released a large amount of lightning that pierced through the steam cloud, completely blinding Mr. Nero.

Lightning struck him, causing a slight pain and numbness. But it wasn't even an injury; the Spartan's body was just that tough. Mr. Nero instantly twisted the hilt of his sword, sending a stream of flames and air tearing through the cloud curtain. Then Nero pulled away, switching to a long sword.

It's the Yama Sword.

"Come, watch carefully how the Yama Blade is used."

As she spoke, she blinked and she took the blade into her palm. The blade, piercing her palm, disappeared into the ripples, as if melting. Mr. Nero's expression suddenly changed, and he stepped back.

In the blink of an eye, his original position was shattered by the rioting force of space.

"It's not over yet~ You know this move can be used in combos, right?"

One after another, spherical spaces that could tear everything apart appeared continuously behind Mr. Nero. He retreated, flipped sideways, rolled forward, jumped, and drew his sword in one go, launching a jump attack at Nero who was standing still.

"Who can learn if I teach them like this!!!" He leaped up with grief and anger, and turned his grief and anger into strength to chop down: "I am just an idiot, okay!!!"

"No, no, no, Nero-kun, you're very smart." Nero smiled and drew his sword, slashing through the air. "It's just that you're not using your intelligence in the right place."

Cutting horizontally and vertically, she tore a prismatic crack in front of her and stepped into it with a light smile: "Well, see you later?"

"Don't run!"

Mr. Nero slammed the sword in his hand heavily to the ground, and the violent vibration almost reached other singularities.

But Nero had disappeared. Only her voice remained.

"I'll be waiting for you at the higher singularity, so hurry up~"

Mr. Nero, who was left standing there again, yelled, "But you still haven't told me what you know?!"

"Wait a minute!!!"
