Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 54 Mission: 07-3 Killing Angel

The first demon was a creature on all fours. Over a meter tall and muscular, it spewed sulfur from between its sharp teeth. Its claws could strike sparks, transforming the foul-smelling sulfur into fireballs.

Nero's serpent sword struggled to penetrate the solid flesh, leaving only streaks of blood on its massive body. So she had Echidna shrink the sword into a long sword, pried open its mouth with her Gilgamesh-like hands, and thrust the sword inside.

The second demon was a winged dwarf. It had a pair of sharp horns on its head, and its nails were like razor blades. It pounced on Nero before he could completely defeat the first one. With one hand holding the first demon's head, Nero thrust his other hand into its mouth, leaving him with no choice but to kick it away.

The snake-like sword shattered the demon's esophagus and stomach into pieces. Nero pulled her hand out of the demon's mouth, covered in minced meat and black blood, just as a third demon appeared before her.

There were simply too many enemies. At first, Nero could still pay attention to the enemy's posture and attack methods, but when the ants became an ant colony, no one would pay attention to what one individual looked like.

Hernan, on his side, was having a hard time dealing with even a single demon. The plague spread by the ring only had a weakening effect on the demons. He tried to summon a thunderstorm, but he didn't dare to strike the enemies he was engaging in close combat. However, the cannons he summoned from the ship behind him looked promising.

Nero grabbed the third demon, kicked the fourth away, and then threw the demons in his hands at Hernan, knocking the one that was fighting with her to the ground.

"Retreat." Nero said simply, "Just stay by the ring of fire and provide support."

"Sorry, I can't help you."

Hernan retreated with all fourteen cannons behind her - this was all the property she brought off the ship when she landed in Mexico - with the muzzles lined up in a row, striking the rear of the demon army with occasional lightning.

As part of the ship, and thus part of Hernan's Noble Phantasm, the cannons remained firing despite the pouring rain. Hernan, the Archer Heroic Spirit, opened fire at full capacity, attempting to relieve Nero's pressure.

Although she may not be good at hand-to-hand combat, her withdrawal from the front line has relieved a lot of pressure on Nero.

After several more attempts, Nero finally decided to put Echidna away and let her rest. The accordion's strengths lie in its range and sharp angles, making it less effective against sturdy and numerous enemies. And Echidna, as Dante had said, was a weakling among the foes he had fought, further exacerbating her lack of lethality.

Gilgamesh, on the other hand, was worthy of being one of Dante's collections. His Impact Steel Magical Gear, capable of transforming at will and absorbing impact, was particularly useful against enemies that were difficult to kill with a single blow. Nero also gave up on the idea of ​​a single kill, opting instead to grab the passing demons and throw them back into the group like rocks.

Like bowling, each demon thrown back could knock down at least two or three of its companions, and with luck, it could even take down seven or eight. The fallen demons also became a wall, preventing the demons behind from approaching.

Then, in the rear, a stampede broke out among the demons, who were willing to trample their companions into the mud, turning them into piles of bubbling flesh, as they continued to rush towards Nero.

At first, Nero was able to control the demons' advance by throwing them back with one in her left hand and one in her right hand. But as the enemy density grew, she wished she had three heads and six arms to ensure that the enemy would not rush past her.

The bad thing about this matter is that if more than three demons were really released behind her, Hernan, who was controlling the artillery formation, would not be able to resist them.

Ritsuka and the others haven't come back yet.

Nero took a deep breath and revealed his trump card.

The Yama Blade was unsheathed, and the demon transformation began. Nero couldn't wait any longer. Even if the demon transformation ended and Ritsuka and the others hadn't returned, she had no other choice.

And so, amidst this chaotic world, an angel with silver hair and glaring eyes raised a sharp blade high, singing against the rain, soaring into the sky:

"That place is desolate. Flames fly, but there is no light forever!"

Coincidentally, a flash of lightning tore through the dark sky, illuminating the figure shrouded in magic. She slashed with her sword, and the bright light flashed by before disappearing quietly.

The demons before her froze in place, blood gushing from their bodies for a moment as their wounds tore through their bodies. They collapsed into the mud, struggling, their dark blood mingling with the rain and seeping into the earth. "Peace and tranquility will never cease, and hope, which is everywhere, will never return!"

She turned her body and slashed again in the same direction. The blade light lingered in the air, tearing the demon that was charging head-on into pieces.

"That place is filled with endless torture and waves of fire like floods!"

He spun around and slashed again. The three overlapping slashes made the blade mark shimmer and shine, like a bright crescent moon.

not enough.

"Only the inexhaustible sulfur can fuel this unquenchable fire!"

After four cuts, the light in the knife marks became brighter and brighter.

Someone once said that there is light beyond the sky. The countless stars in the night sky are the result of a puncture in the canopy, allowing that light to fall into the darkness.

And in this dark chaos, the sword light seemed to tear the world apart, trying to let endless light pour in.

Nero paused briefly and looked into the distance. As expected, there was no sign of the white chariot.

No need to hold back, no need to hold back. The magic power within Nero's body burned fiercely—here, burn all these filthy things.

No need to worry about accidental injuries, no need to worry about missing out. All you need to do is unleash your full strength, just...

Kill as many as you can!

The demons realized that Nero was no match for them and tried to circumvent her, but Nero stomped her foot on the ground, and a row of phantom swords emitting dim light rose up, blocking their way.

"Eternal justice has prepared a destined prison for the rebels!

"In this darkness, the earth is set up, three times as far away from the light of heaven!"

Nero stacked up the slash again, then put the sword back into his arms, and finally freed it with the final sentence.

"Here they will be cast down, and drowned in torrents and whirlwinds of fire, and will be roasted for eternity."

In an instant, a ray of light flashed from the darkness.

The final hymn was like a verdict, causing the demons on trial to fall down like firewood, kneel, and retreat in horror.

The heavy rain drowned out all sounds, and the church stood quietly in the blue flames.

Suddenly the flames died down, and the majestic Nero, who stood there in awe, suddenly became weak.

Fell into coma.
