Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 162 EP: Death and Rebirth

After this, Nero also learned from Dante what happened on the other side.

After discovering Mendes's weakness, Dante mustered his energy and attacked him with a series of attacks, forcing him into a desperate situation. Perhaps because Nanna was also experiencing trouble at the time, Mendes, knowing he had no chance of defeating Dante, vowed, "Don't forget Dante, I'll be back sooner or later," and then chose to self-destruct.

The Demon Emperor used all his strength to destroy his own body, opened a portal to a parallel time and space, and sucked Dante in. So after many battles with the demons of the other world, Dante finally found a way to return to this world through the gap between the human and demon worlds.

When talking about this experience, Dante showed little nervousness and said with a smile: "I heard there is a Dante in that world too, but it's a pity that I didn't meet him."

Looking back, it might be because of the special nature of that area that the returning Dante appeared at the nightmare border.

At the same time, Nero confirmed that Asmodeus, who was shattered into pieces by Dante's pistol "Ebony and Ivory", finally formed a magic tool.

A pink revolver with comfortable pink fur on the handle and a pair of rabbit ears on the hammer.

Nero jokingly asked Dante if he wanted the weapon, but Dante hilariously refused. He couldn't imagine himself aiming the gun at an enemy while yelling "Jackpot".

That scene must be beautiful.

After chatting with Dante for a while, Shoko Toyokawa and others began to wake up one after another.

"Thank you both very much for your help."

As the representative of the Carnival of All Fortunes, Xiangzi took the initiative to thank Nero and Dante on behalf of the others. After Nanna's influence was eliminated, the red light in Xiangzi's eyes faded, and he no longer had the crazy feeling he had when they met before. He looked cool and elegant.

"You're welcome."

"It's a good thing, it's one more experience I can brag about to others."

After Xiangzi and Nero exchanged the information they had obtained, Dante, who knew that Nanna could be resurrected from dreams again and again, fell into deep thought.

"After all, Mondes also said something similar, so it must be true." He stroked the stubble on his chin and kept looking at Toyokawa Shoko. "But on the other hand, if the dream world has a new owner, Nana will not be resurrected during this period."

This is also the only possible way to seal Nanna forever.

Dante looked at Xiangzi and said, "The premise is that this master can suppress Nana's consciousness in turn and prevent it from invading her forever."

His eyes silently asked Xiangzi: "Can you do it?"

Xiangzi looked Dante in the eye calmly: "I won't promise anything I'm not sure of. If you think I'm not qualified, you can kill me here and take away this power."

Dante smiled and shrugged. "I never said anything like that."

He temporarily accepted Xiangzi. After all, there were four other people helping her share the pressure, so suppressing Nanna for hundreds of years shouldn't be a big problem. Who could predict what would happen in the future?
"What about the people you brought into the dream world?" Nero asked.

Xiangzi promised that they would wake up and leave together with the people brought into the dream by Nanna.

According to her, the first person brought into the dream world had already been asleep for half a month. She had nearly committed suicide under Asmodeus's control, and Xiangzi and the others had no other choice but to hide her in the dream world.

After that, dozens more people were hidden in dreams. Now that they were no longer threatened by Asmodeus, there was no need to continue sleeping. Next, it was time to deal with the matters of Aine and Souyo.

Nero returned to his body with the Yama Blade, and then appeared in the planetarium with Dante.

But she didn't see Shuangshi. Only Aine and the others were on high alert, looking around nervously.

"what happened?"

"Neroro!" Aine approached Nero with obvious bewilderment and said, "Souyo-san suddenly turned into a dark... fog-like thing. Something seems very wrong!"

Nero immediately understood that the unstable state achieved through forced fusion with the magical tool had finally been broken. Even Agnus, after meticulous calculations and long-term research, had completed a ritual of rebirth with such a high failure rate. Shuangshi's ability to remain lucid for so long was truly something to be proud of.

"Where did she go?"

However, Aine couldn't explain this question clearly. She only knew that Shuangshi looked like he wanted to attack them, but then he ran away screaming.

Nero asked Dante to stay here, and he left the planetarium alone to look for Shuangshi outside.

Fortunately, it wasn't difficult. Shuangshi, completely bereft of his sanity, now wandered like a ghost above Nero's rooftop. Perhaps fearing he might hurt someone, he'd fled here before fully transforming into a demon, waiting for Nero to return and subdue him. Nero pushed open the glass door and reached the rooftop, where he immediately saw the dark, death-like ghost descend from the sky, wielding scissors and screaming at him.

"...Is this what you deserve?"

Nero sighed, drew his sword from his chest to block the blade of the scissors, and bounced them away with a "clang".

In this situation, even if Shuangshi is separated with the Yama Sword, it is questionable how much of her former self she can still retain.

From Nero's perspective, she didn't want Shuangshi to lose his original memory after turning back into a human - that would be unfair to others and too easy for Shuangshi himself.

But the outcome of this matter was probably beyond Nero's control. All he could do now was "try."

I hope Shuangshi’s mind won’t be “returned to factory settings”.

Nero's fingers gently brushed across the blade of the Yama Sword. Facing Shuangshi who was rushing towards her again, her hand holding the knife blurred in an instant and reappeared in the original place.

A cold light flashed, and one of the two blades that formed the scissors instantly broke, turning into fragments and falling from Shuangshi's hands. The pain of this "body" being shattered made it scream in terror again, losing the power to fly and falling to the ground.

"You're almost there..."

Nero held the knife and slowly walked to the black mist that was rolling and struggling on the ground. He turned the blade and stabbed it downwards fiercely.

"It's time to wake up!"

It was clearly a cloud of invisible black mist, but Nero managed to feel the touch of something substantial. Sure enough, under the blade, the black mist slowly dissipated, and a vague human figure emerged.

The remaining half of the magical tool "Shikoti" fell to the ground with a clang, and was separated from the man's hand.
