Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 137 Mission: 07-8 Bloody Doll

In silence, Nero and Nanna looked at each other from a distance.

The battle is about to break out.

One of them moved, it was Nero.

"Through me, enter the city of endless pain!"

She swung her sword forward, meeting Nanna's scythe. The two clashed with a roar, and Nero stared into those blood-red eyes, their gaze filled with endless frenzy.

Behind Nero, a slightly distorted wave was left in the path of the blade. This was the scar left by the disturbance of space.

The Yama Blade, slashing down from above, caught in front of the blood-red sickle's blade. The blood-red blade trembled, wanting to cut Nero's arm and suck blood. Nero sheathed the knife and retreated, spinning to avoid the arcing blade and once again took up his stance.

She knew that even now, Nanna might still find some way to evade the Yama Blade. So Nero used the Yama Blade to tear apart space, chanting verses about eternal prison, determined to use the final blow to lay an inescapable net.

After that, she will use the Yama Blade to stop Nanna, who is unable to escape, and kill her.

If she succeeds, then Nero won't have to worry about Little Ace anymore. Defeating Nanna will also make the Demon Emperor's phantom body disappear. If Little Ace doesn't give up on his plan and hide, he'll be caught by Dante and made into a roasted rabbit!
"Through me, enter the pit of eternal misery!"

Another wave of blades tore through space, and Nero and Nanna crossed paths, neither of them sustaining a single wound. The figure behind the demon extended its flexible tentacles and lashed out at Nero.

"Through me, enter the crowd of those who are doomed!"

This time, Nero spun and leaped, his blade blazing towards the massive, emaciated phantom. The transparent tentacles were easily severed by the Yama Blade, but they immediately sprouted again, passing the blade and wrapping around Nero once more.

Can't cut it off.

Nero could vaguely tell that if he continued to attack it, he might be able to cut off its limbs bit by bit and consume Nanna's strength. However, that was too inefficient and too slow.

You can only target Nanna herself.

"Justice moved my Creator. I am the fruit of divine power, divine wisdom, and divine love!"

Nero then stomped on the air, spun in mid-air, and descended like a hawk, his blade pointed directly at Nanna, who had turned and was about to attack in conjunction with the phantom.

A flash of lightning flashed across the night sky, leaving a twisted burn mark in the air. After a brief sword fight, Nero used the momentum to leap upwards, avoiding the tentacle's swing. She flipped backward in mid-air, not attacking Nanna again.

This certainly didn't mean giving up. Nero had already sung four hymns, and the knife marks had covered Nanna's four directions, but to completely lock her in the cage, he needed one final blow.

"Before me there was no creation except that which endures forever; I am as eternal as heaven and earth!"

Nero disappeared briefly. A moment later, she reappeared on the plain, descending with a thunderous arc of light. She knelt on one knee facing Nanna, slowly sheathing her sword with her hand.

"click"

The illusory sound of the sword being sheathed sounded out of nowhere, and in an instant the five knife marks left by Nero shone brightly, blocking Nanna's escape route from all directions from front, back, left, right, up and down.

Nero's chanting followed.

"You who have walked in, leave all your hopes behind!"

Five faceless magical shadows merged into the knife marks, connecting the scattered knife marks end to end. The connected knife marks resonated with each other, tearing the previously intact space into pieces and gradually closing it.

The twisted and violent force of space sealed this place off, turning it into a small spherical shell from which there was no escape.

"Ha, ha ha!" Nanna's sharp laughter echoed from within the sphere. "Is this the method you've prepared?"

Nero didn't answer.

No, her answer was an unsheathed blade.

At this moment, in this place where there is no escape, no sky, no earth, no roads, and no doors, Nero drew his sword, and his figure disappeared in the swift Iai Slash, turning into a golden stream of light.

The cold moon-like blade blurred into a silver thread in the flowing light at high speed, and appeared in front of Nana in an instant.

Nanna spun her sickle, colliding it with the Yama Blade with a blood-red full moon, blocking the blade's path. But this time, Nero wouldn't retreat. The blade, shaken away, moved with her, circling around before falling again.

"The legendary demon weapon, the Yama Blade," Nanna said with a sneer, "seems to be nothing more than a sharp firewood stick in your hands."

It also spun around, and the long-handled sickle rotated along with its slender waist, colliding with the Yama Sword again.

With a crisp clash, Nero's blade deflected, slicing down along the hem of Nanna's swirling skirt. The two of them crossed paths.

However, Nero also stopped her forward momentum in an instant. She landed on her toes and spun like a dancer, slashing with the Yama Blade in her hand again.

Nanna's voice rang out again.

"boring."

In an instant, Nero didn't even know what was happening before she was blown away by an invisible force and crashed into the space turbulence she created.

"what!!!"

Her back was instantly torn apart by the violent force of space, and no intact skin could be seen in the dripping blood.

Then, Nanna lifted her toes and stepped forward lightly, instantly calming the turbulent space. Under the moonlight, Nero, covered in blood, fell heavily into the white flowers.

"You, really don't understand anything."

Nana smiled wickedly, mockingly and maniacally, and said, "Or are you just pretending not to understand?"

It walked up to Nero and lifted his pale face, now covered in red flowers, with its pitch-black leather shoes. "Since I can use my power to quickly heal the wounds you tore in the dream world, I can naturally also quickly repair the disordered space. If you're pretending not to notice, then I have to praise you as an excellent comedian."

"You really don't understand, don't you? This is my world. In this world, not even the Demon Emperor can defeat me."

Nanna said, raising her toes a little higher and leaning down so that Nero could look her in the eye: "In this world, I am the omniscient and omnipotent God.

"I know all your little actions and thoughts. It's just that I'm too lazy to care."

Nero's bloodless lips trembled, but no sound came out.

Looking at the weakened Nero, Nanna's eyes flashed red, and amidst her madness, she felt a bit of pity: "Ah, how pitiful. Such a beautiful face..."

It half-knelt down, stretched out its cold fingers to hold Nero's face, wiped its fingertips through the blood splattered on Nero's cheek, and put a dot of blood on Nero's lips.

"That's right... That's right. Only a beautiful doll like this can please me. Let me leave you here--"

"Become a puppet forever."
