Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 93 Mission: 02-7 Shiina Riki
"What the hell are you doing?!"

An angry growl echoed in the night wind near the station. A girl with long black hair and teardrop moles at the corners of her eyes pulled a large bow made of nine snakes, aiming it at a figure in a red and black costume not far away.

"It has nothing to do with you, Shiina Ritsuki." The girl with medium-length hair turned the rising shadow into a curtain, covering her own figure. And this made the girl called Shiina Ritsuki even more angry——

"Hai Ling, you bastard!"

She released the bowstring, letting a poisonous dark purple magic arrow streak through the night sky. "Hydra!"

"You're still the same." Hai Ling easily swallowed the arrow with her shadow, and then pulled out a pitch-black dagger from her side: "I've already said that my name is now 'Fear' (Timoris)——"

She slipped into the shadows and then appeared beside Li Xi, swinging the dagger towards her neck: "Why are you still chasing me? Aren't there people more worthy of your care than me?"

"What do you mean?!"

Li Xi used his bow to block the incoming dagger and stared fiercely at Hai Ling, who had an expressionless face.

Hailing used to be Lixi's friend.

Although they were in different junior high schools, they still kept in touch. After the teammates who fought against the demons with Li Xi fell apart, although Li Xi never told her about those things, she was keenly aware of what was going on and stayed by Li Xi's side when he was lost.

However, not long after, everything changed. After entering high school, Hailing, who had originally agreed to go to the same school as Lixi, disappeared. Lixi spent a lot of effort to find her, but the final result was...

However, when he was investigating another missing classmate, he saw her who had become a demon on a bright moonlit night.

Hai Ling was not missing, but she became the creator of the disappearance. This tragic news fell on Li Xi's head, almost making her lose all her fighting spirit.

But Lixi would not be defeated so easily. From then on, she patrolled the city every night with her demon hunting weapon, the Hydra Bow, constantly chasing Hai Ling, who could travel freely through shadows, and trying to stop her plans.

But today... Hai Ling rarely escaped after being discovered by Li Xi, but chose to fight with her.

"Of course, that's what I meant literally." Hai Ling said in a flat tone, "Because I can't miss my target today... otherwise she'll skin me alive."

Hearing this, Li Xi's heart suddenly moved: "Is it someone I know?"

"That's right." Fear looked behind Li Xi and chuckled, "She's here."

Even though this might be a lie from the devil, Li Xi still couldn't help but turn back. And the moment she turned back, she immediately froze in her tracks.

"lamp?"

The person who came here was Takamatsu Deng, who had just escaped from the other two people not long ago.

At the same time, he was also Li Xi's former teammate.

"Deng!" Li Xi called out to her, but Gao Songdeng turned a deaf ear to her. She staggered forward, clutching her notebook, as if she had lost her soul. Not far behind her, followed a pink-haired girl whom Li Xi did not recognize.

"It's useless." Hai Ling said coldly, "She's already ours."

"Just you?!" Li Xi was completely furious. This was the first time in years that she had been angry at Hai Ling. She stretched out her hand and drew her bow. Nine dark purple arrows emerged from the bowstring and she aimed them at her head without hesitation.

This was Hydra's most powerful attack. Nine arrows, fired into the sky, unleashed a terrifying rain of poison that any demon feared, forming a sticky, poisonous swamp on the ground. In the past, when she used this move, combined with the aerial bombardment of the lantern, no demon had ever been able to withstand it. But—"Since this is a critical target, how could I be the only one coming?"

Hai Ling said.

A group of giant demon dolls appeared, passed Li Xi, and surrounded the lamp. The green-haired girl jumped off the leading doll and stretched out her hands to the lamp, as if to hug her.

And Li Xi also knew this person: "Mu?!"

She then looked at Fear, who was struggling with her, and angrily demanded, "Why is she with you?! What did you do?!"

Hailing didn't answer, but Lixi, who was entangled by her, was no longer able to save Deng. Lixi could only call Deng's name sadly, and helplessly watched her step by step towards Mu's arms.

"lamp!!!"

And besides all this, Aine, who had followed after seeing the distraught Deng, felt concerned and huddled in a corner, trembling.

"What to do? What to do? What to do?"

She never expected that she would fall into the devil's trap again, and the man with the bow not far away was probably Shuangshi's companion - she was now facing two demons alone, and it seemed that she was unable to hold on alone.

"What an unfortunate coincidence, young lady."

A voice rang out beside Aine. She turned her head and saw a girl with silver hair and crimson eyes, wearing a tuxedo, a mask, and a top hat.

"Samael?" Aine asked in surprise.

The girl before her was the demon hunter who had rescued Aine from the clutches of the devil—probably. Aine suspected that she, like Souyo and the girl not far away, was a companion who had signed a contract with Ace-chan.

"Just hide well." Samael said to Aine with a smile, then instantly drew a snake-belly sword from his arms and rushed into the group of dolls.

"...Why is it her again?"

Hai Ling looked off to the distance, frowning slightly. Li Xi didn't miss this opportunity. He instantly shot two arrows into the ground, using the poison that seeped into the ground to seal Shadow, preventing him from escaping. He then immediately raised his bow and aimed the arrows at his former friend.

"It's really troublesome."

Hai Ling used the short blade transformed from her shadow to block the poison arrow, quickly retreated from the poison pool, and then immediately sank into the shadow.

Li Xi tried to catch up, but her shadow also began to wriggle, struggling to break free from the ground and transforming into a demon. Then, in the blink of an eye, Hai Ling appeared behind Mu—'Death'.

"'Death', are you going to continue?" she asked.

"..." Mu nodded silently. A few reddish lights emerged from behind her. The lamp that was already close to them saw the light and subconsciously stretched out her hand, wanting to shake hands with Mu.

But the next moment, Samael's hand pressed on her head. Gao Songdeng immediately fell unconscious and fell limply to the ground.

　Because the previous chapter was really boring, I simply rewrote it. The character Shuangshi appeared in was replaced by Lixi, which provided a bit of freshness and made the conflict more intense...
