Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 148 Mission: 09-3 Day of God's Wrath

In an instant, the stars surged, and the pairs of red eyes hidden in the darkness rushed towards Nero under the spotlight like moths to a flame.

Facing the oncoming demons, Nero drew a burning phantom blue sword from his chest, raised it high into the sky, and roared in anger under the spotlight:

"The day of God's wrath is coming, the day of God's wrath is coming!"

A wolf demon, standing upright, lunged at Nero, wielding its sharp claws. The blade slashed down, severing its wrist. Nero then used the back of his hand to push away the powerless claws, easily striking the throat with a single blow.

"David and all the prophets bear witness that the world will melt in blazing fire!"

Gregorian chant, "The Day of God's Wrath." The version Nero sings today is from Mozart's Requiem K626—the most famous version of this hymn.

Beneath the stage curtain, under the bright spotlight, facing another wolf demon's attack, Nero pulled away, leaving behind a corpse clutching its throat, black smoke billowing from between its fingers.

The light followed her closely. Nero spun around, a longsword appearing in his hand. The translucent blade slashed across the wolf demon's forearm and heart, and then Nero kicked the demon away.

In this dream, Nero was unable to use the Yama Blade or other weapons stored in his body, but he could still borrow their power. By imagining that the Yama Blade was in his hand, Nero entered the demon state and sang the third aria of the "Requiem" loudly:

"That will be the day of God's wrath! When the judge descends from heaven, everything will be questioned in detail—"

Another goat-like demon charged forward, but Nero swung his sword and struck it between its horns, slowing its advance. Then the blade was quickly retracted, and Nero spun again, his other sword brushing across its neck like a gentle breeze.

"—Strict liquidation!"

The demon lost his balance and passed by Nero with great inertia, falling headfirst to the ground.

The ones who were about to hear this Requiem were not souls in need of rest, but a group of hungry demons. Therefore, Nero skipped the first two sections of the Requiem, which prayed for rest and mercy, and directly opened with "The Day of God's Wrath," which announced the coming of judgment. And after "The Day of God's Wrath," the next thing was—

"The horn resounded everywhere!"

Three more demons charged forward, and Nero decisively hurled his longsword. The two phantom swords spun in the air, slamming into the abdomens of two demons, instantly rupturing their intestines.

Following the second lyric, “The Trumpet Sounds Everywhere,” after announcing the coming of Judgment Day, the trumpet of Doomsday sounds.

Nero leaned forward and grabbed the hilt of the sword again as the demons fell down laughing. He cut them in half the moment he drew his sword.

"All the dead in the graves will be forced to come before the throne of God!"

Two bright sword lights flashed by, intersecting in the darkness before merging into a condensed afterglow that hung before Nero. The demons that followed crashed into the sword marks, screaming and falling backwards.

Nero crossed his arms in front of his chest, and the surging magic power in his heart flowed into the sword through his palms, making the light in it even more dazzling.

After a brief pause, the demon's screams subsided, and Nero's voice once again shook the entire theater.

"Everything created will be resurrected, and death and its host will be terrified before their judge!"

The two swords crossed and slashed down, and the huge X-shaped blades of light tore through the earth - tore through the audience seats sleeping in the darkness, and set off a huge wave in the dark tide with dots of red light.

But the demons at the front finally bypassed the stagnant sword marks and attacked Nero from the side again. At this moment, two demons appeared on either side of Nero, and even one behind him.

Behind them, more demons were waiting to attack. Nero threw the sword in his left hand, piercing straight through the heart of a demon and knocking it back.

"The book of merits and demerits has been opened."

Nero raised his leg, pirouetted on his toes, and slashed a semicircle through the air with his left leg, kicking at one of the demons on his right.

"No crime is too great or too small, and no one is left unpunished—"

Armor made of magical energy emerged from her calves, and the demon hit by this blow was sent flying backwards. Nero swung his sword at the moment of retraction, and the demon behind him was also cut down.

Then her left hand, also wrapped in magical armor, grabbed the remaining demon on her right by the throat as she completed her sword swing. With ease, she swung it over her head and slammed it down hard on the last demon. The two demons collided, tumbling into a ball and vanishing into the darkness.

"—all living things will be judged accordingly!"

Nero finally finished singing this line. She tapped her toes lightly, leaving a shadow at her side.

This is the fifth shadow.

Under the demons' relentless charge, the sword marks left by Nero finally shattered like foam. In an instant, three more demons pounced on her. Together with those from the sides and rear, a total of eight enemies approached her, within two meters.

almost.

Soon.

The "time of reckoning" is coming.

Nero no longer held back. He clenched his left hand, which was wrapped in magic, into a fist and smashed it down at his feet with all his strength.

Her heart beat violently, constantly drawing new magic from her chest, flowing through her blood throughout her body. Beneath Nero, who knelt on one knee, the ground illuminated by the spotlight glowed faintly.

Specks of light swirled around Nero like faint fireflies, but were instantly swallowed up by the huge shadow.

A leaping demon appeared above Nero's head, blocking the blazing light. Its shadow enveloped Nero like a net covering a beautiful canary.

But Nero spoke again. She thrust the blade of her right hand into the ground as well, and sang the prelude to judgment loudly:
"The Judge sits here—"

A speck of light like dust rose from the ground and condensed into an illusory figure, standing behind Nero.

The demon fell, its hideous figure almost overlapping Nero's. Simultaneously, several other shadows also rushed forward, as if about to pin Nero to the ground.

However, at this moment, another beam of light rose up, overlapping with the blazing light of the spotlight. This light was so hot and so bright that it instantly burned the demon above Nero's head, causing it to struggle amid screams and evil black smoke.

Nero then slowly sang the second half of the hymn:
"From now on, all secrets will be exposed, and no crime will go unpunished."

In the center of the light column, Nero knelt on one knee, raised his head to bathe in the holy light that destroyed all evil, and closed his eyes.

Under this beam of light, a vague and majestic huge figure sat in the air, covering Nero.
