Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 129 Mission: 06-8 The Princess Who Fell from the Sky

For Chihaya Aine, a lot happened in the few minutes after Samael appeared.

First, he helped himself to a rescue, then he cut through the group of demons and attacked the enemy leader, capturing him alive in a flash, so fast that Aine didn’t even have time to blink.

But in an instant, a red moon appeared silently in the night sky.

Just like the time when they were chasing the lamp, as the moonlight passed by, everyone was swallowed into another world without feeling anything.

The only slight difference was that this time the enemy that appeared under the moon was one they had never seen before.

"...My love, you have wronged me..."

The ethereal and melodious voice echoed in the moonlight. It was a voice so lamenting that it moved people to tears. But to Aine, it seemed a little familiar.

"Chu... Hua?"

A voice from behind, from outside Aine's barrier, caught her attention. Aine turned her head and saw that someone else had been pulled into this moonlit world. It was a girl around Aine's age, with straight black hair, and she looked familiar.

The name she called out was Chuhua? This thought flashed through Aine's mind belatedly, and she remembered the origin of the person in front of her - Mana, the former lead singer of the idol group Sumimi. And the name she called out...

Aine looked up and saw the golden hair of the figure under the moonlight, confirming her suspicions. It was Chuhua, another member of the group. Was she also a member of the Wanfu Carnival?

Chuhua closed her eyes tightly, curled up in the moonlight as if deep in sleep. Only the sound continued to reach her. An invisible wave spread out from her, causing Mana to quickly fall asleep as well, swaying and collapsing.

Aine leaped up upon seeing Samuel, swinging her sword straight at Hatsuka, who was floating in the air, but was blocked by the transparent wall and bounced back. Meanwhile, a strange pink light illuminated the sleeping Mana.

Before Aine could figure out what was going on, a terrifying roar made everyone present change their expressions.

The blood-red moon has awakened.

The world beneath the moon shook, rapidly expanding, rapidly engulfing block after block, as if threatening to swallow the entire city. Aine couldn't sense the changes taking place in the world beneath the moon, but there was one noticeable change even she could discern: on the tall buildings in the distance, window after window was ablaze with light. This either meant the entire city was being drawn into the world beneath the moon, or vice versa, that the world beneath the moon was actively merging with reality!

No matter which side they are on, it represents a terrible fact: now all the citizens of the entire new city will be threatened by demons!

"Damn it! How could this happen?!" Li Xi also reacted quickly and said to Ai Yin: "Hey, be careful, don't let the demons go... Your mission is the most critical now!"

"I know it without you having to tell me!"

Aine had no choice but to completely abandon support and focus on controlling the barrier, covering almost the entire street. However, she didn't expect that the current situation was not what the enemy had expected.

After the change occurred, the demons in front of them almost immediately ceased their attacks and began to retreat. Chu Hua, floating in the sky, also released the barrier and opened his eyes. From the red moon, an illusory figure slowly descended.

"Toyokawa Shoko" reappeared. Her eyes had turned a blood-red, a strange and terrifying sight. With her appearance, Aine's barrier shattered like a bubble, and several towering, dark shadows, as tall as mountains, emerged under the moonlight, as if to crush Aine and the others into dust.

Samael attacked again. This time, she was wearing emerald green wings, clearly using all her strength. The figure flashed past Aine's eyes, aiming directly at Toyokawa Shoko.

"Haha, hahaha~"

"Toyokawa Shoko" laughed maniacally and taunted with joy: "Have you forgotten what I said?"

A crimson figure emerged from Shoko's side and collided with Samael. Samael, who had been only slightly at a disadvantage in their previous one-on-many encounters with Shoko, was instantly defeated, sent flying backwards at the moment of collision, crashing towards them.

"This time, you won't have the chance to beat me!" Xiangzi slowly said the second half of the sentence.

Aine tried to use a barrier to stop Samael from falling, but it was too late. Before Xiangzi could finish her words, Samael had already fallen hard beside Aine. The ground cracked instantly, and cement dust flew everywhere.

"In just a moment..."

Samael's defeat left Lixi with a look of shock, a hint of fear. If Samael hadn't shown up in time during their last clash with Xiangzi, they wouldn't have even been able to fight back, and there was no way they could have escaped this world with Deng.

Now, Xiangzi seems to have completed a super evolution, and can even defeat Samael with ease. In this case, who can stop her?

"Oh~ That was a close call."

However, no one expected a male voice to emerge from the ashes. The voice was magnetic, yet the tone was playful, as if he didn't care about the current dire situation at all.

A sharp wind swept through, dispersing the dense smoke and dust. In the center of the shattered ground, the man in the red trench coat knelt on one knee. He raised an eyebrow, looked at the girl in the tuxedo who was being held in his princess hug, and chuckled softly. "I never thought that when I appear, I always see you falling from the sky. My little princess, are you okay?"

Aine’s eyes widened in shock. “Isn’t this Neroro—Nero-san’s uncle?! He actually knows Samael too?!

However, an even more shocking fact was yet to come. The girl in the tuxedo finally took off her mask, a look of relief and surprise on her face. "Uncle Dante, thank you... I'm fine."

That wasn't Samael at all. Although the hair color and eye color were different, there was no doubt that Aine would not mistake her friend—

Isn't that Nero?
Samael and Nero, the same person from beginning to end?!
no? !
At this moment, Aine saw Nero smiling at her, his eyes gentle but also with a hint of apology.

Dante put Nero on the ground, watched her stand firm, then take a step back and bow like she did when they first met, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

Then he drew his greatsword, raised his head, and looked at the figure floating in the night sky with Nero.

　As the number of characters increases, I write more and more slowly... I deleted and revised it several times, and it was posted very late. I hope you are not too anxious...

　　But now the last day of the update has to be postponed again. Sigh. I am really sorry to everyone.
