Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 134 Mission: 07-5 Breaking the Fantasy
"Here, your matcha."

After placing teacups in front of everyone, Nero, knowing that they still had many questions to ask, sat down and gently picked up the teacup.

After calculating the amount of magic power in his body, he decided to take a nap for an hour or two after answering Aine and the others' questions and he would be back to his best condition. As for the Pride Magic Stone, it would take a little longer, mainly because the magic energy in this city was all "lust". The Pride Power could not be replenished, so it had to rely on itself to slowly recover.

But now Dante is still fighting the Demon Emperor - Nero is worried that something might go wrong if he rests for so long.

So, don't wait until you're fully recovered, take a short break and then rush back. As long as she can defeat Nanna, she can end the battle between Dante and the Demon Emperor early.

"...Are you Samael?"

After a brief silence, it was Li Xi who spoke first.

Her impression of Nero was far less profound than that of Samael. After all, she had only met him once in a coffee shop, and she only knew that Nero and Aine knew each other and were classmates.

Therefore, when Nero's identity was exposed, she was the first to accept it.

"Yes, I'm sorry for hiding it from you."

Nero said "you guys" but his eyes never left Aine. Aine, still darting her eyes, subconsciously lifted the teacup and brought it to her lips. She only recovered after feeling burned and quickly asked, "Nero..."

As a result, she got stuck just after calling out a name. Nero tilted his head and asked her, "What's wrong?"

"Is there any candy?" Aine said embarrassedly, reaching for the back of her head.

Nero replied with a puzzled look: "Wait a moment, I'll get it right away."

But when Nero said he was going to get it, Aine quickly stopped him and said, "No, I was just asking casually. There's no need to go to such trouble."

Then she stood up, took a deep breath, and said, "Thank you for saving me so many times. Really, thank you very much."

After a complicated ideological struggle, Aine's choice was not to question or doubt, but to express gratitude.

This behavior set the tone for others on "how to deal with Samael", and the tense atmosphere among the crowd finally eased.

"You're welcome."

Nero replied with a faint smile, "We are friends after all."

"Tsk." Lixi made a small sound, but Nero pretended not to hear it. She glanced at the people in front of her and spoke again, "What's more important now is how to save the city. While Uncle is unlikely to be defeated, he won't be able to hold out for long."

"Do you need our strength?"

This time, it was Li Xi who asked the question. Nero quickly replied, "I don't deny that you have your own abilities, but that 'Moon Blood Princess' is clearly no match for you. If possible, please search for traces of 'Death', 'Fear', and 'Love'."

Ultimately, this was all about keeping them away from the battlefield. On the one hand, even with magical tools, these girls couldn't possibly interfere with Nero's battles. At the same time, Nero was worried that Ace's plan seemed to be progressing steadily.

This step is to fully awaken "Nanna" and make her run wild. So what should be done next?

Its goal should be to take possession of the power of the demon "Nanna", but Nero still has no clear idea how to do it.

The only thing that's foreseeable is that Little Ace will use the sleeping girls it sends into this world to invade this dreamland. But Nanna is, after all, a demon from ancient times, capable of even battling the former Demon Emperor. Nero doesn't think it'll be so easy to take away her power. What other options are there?

Nero's eyes swept over the people in front of her, and she hesitated for a moment. Should she tell them that little Ace was a liar?

I'm afraid it won't be of any use. Nero thought about the closeness of her relationship with these people for a moment, and regretfully realized that except for Aine, no one would believe her.

"Wish fulfillment" is like poison wrapped in honey. No one would be willing to spit out the honey before the poison actually takes effect and they die. In that case, there was no need to let Aine harbor grudges against her teammates.

"Nerolo, are you planning to fight the devil alone?" Aine asked anxiously.

Nero just smiled and reassured her, "Aine, you know that my grandfather is the lord of Fortuna."

"Yes? But why bring it up now?"

Facing Aine’s doubts, Nero slowly replied, “Because Fortuna has only had one lord.

"And that lord's name is 'Demon Sword' Sparta."

She unbuttoned her collar, pulled out the Yama Sword from her chest, and placed it across her knees: "This is the weapon he left behind, the Yama Sword that sealed the gate to the Demon Realm."

As the hero who saved the human world a thousand years ago, everyone in this world must be familiar with the name of the Demon Swordsman Sparda. When Nero revealed, "My grandfather is Sparda," everyone was stunned.

Shuangshi was the first to recover from her shock. She took a sip of tea and set down the saucer, her tone still tinged with surprise, "So, isn't Nero's uncle..."

"The son of the magic swordsman Sparda?" Li Xi raised his eyebrows, and then shuddered very obviously: "Damn it, if even that kind of person would be in a difficult battle-"

Deng asked Nero quietly, "Xiaoxiang, how could it become like that?"

She shouldn't have such power.

"So, I'm sorry, this matter is no longer within your power to intervene." Nero politely reminded everyone to stay away from the battlefield, then answered Gao Songdeng's question: "There is no doubt that the 'Xiao Xiang' you knew is dead. The current one is just a resurrected ancient demon."

After thinking about it, Nero felt that this statement was not convincing enough, so he gave a more powerful argument: "The demon who is fighting my uncle now is Mondes, the Demon Emperor sealed by Sparta."

"Huh?!!!" Li Xi screamed at a volume that he himself could not imagine.

Lenai, who was eating a parfait, raised her head and said, "Lixi, make some noise."

Li Xi ignored Lenai's complaints, stood up, put his hands on the table, and asked, "You are not kidding, are you?"

"Who else would be qualified to put the son of Sparta into such a difficult battle?"

This rhetorical question silenced all doubts. Nero then used this as a basis to inform everyone of a terrifying truth: "And your 'Xiao Xiang' had a clear conversation with the Demon Emperor after summoning him. They knew each other a long, long time ago."

If that was still Xiangzi, how could she have the memory of the devil "Nanna"?

So, give up those unrealistic fantasies in your heart. Nero said with silent facts.
