Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 187 Mission: 03-7 Guns and Beasts

"Hoo ho ho..."

On the commentary platform, the dusty-faced Shiroyasha stood up again, took out a brand new paper fan and unfolded it in front of him as if nothing had happened. "I didn't expect that Nero was actually one of my generation—"

Before Black Rabbit could react, she continued speaking at a rapid pace without pausing, "Although contestant Aisha is wearing a conservative student swimsuit, the constraints of the tentacles only highlight her perfect figure and soft swaying feel. Compared to her immature limbs, she's even more eye-catching. The change in her expression from pride to shame and indignation is truly breathtaking. And now, she's completely enveloped by the slime in the trap..."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Instantly, Kuro Usagi's hair and cheeks dyed a bright red. Uncertainly, she once again drew the Buddhist weapon known as the "Vajra," summoning nearly ten lightning strikes in a single breath, all of which struck Shiroyasha.

The star spirit named Yasha fell to the ground once again, emitting a puff of green smoke. However, for her, this was mostly an act. If Black Rabbit's vajra didn't unleash its divine power, these ordinary lightning bolts would not be able to cause any damage to White Yasha, a star spirit and the incarnation of a planet.

However, Nero is still unaware that because of her ability to summon tentacles, Shiroyasha has inexplicably identified her as a "fellow traveler". If she knew, she might say with a smile, "I didn't expect you to like tentacles so much," and at the same time reward her with a parasitic bullet.

I don't know if it will be effective.

The game continued. After Aisha was eliminated by Nero after being pushed into a slime pit, time slowly passed.

Until a certain moment, a ray of light lit up on Nero's left and right wrists.

This time, the light on the bracelet on his right hand did not go out, which meant that Nero's opponent had finally eliminated the last contestant other than the two of them, and the competition finally entered the countdown stage.

The flickering light on the left bracelet indicated that a lucky winner had already won the largest prize in the pool. Given the timeline, it was unlikely anyone would be able to complete both Gift Games and collect 400 Narcissus Eggs. This was undoubtedly a one-shot victory.

The bracelet flashed three times and then stopped glowing, so there were now four prizes left. Nero followed the bracelet's guidance and quickly crossed the explored area, looking for the final opponent in the game.

"Finally, the battle that will decide the outcome of the game is about to begin!"

Kuro Usagi was happy that this game that had challenged her inner limits was coming to an end, and her commentary tone became more excited: "Sir Shiroyasha, which side would you favor more?"

Having already been struck twice by lightning, Bai Yasha stopped frantically. Shaking his folding fan, he analyzed seriously, "In this game, Miss Yao has a significant advantage in perception, but lacks a decisive offensive tool. Conversely, once Nero discovers the enemy, a head-on confrontation is nearly impossible to defeat."

"Unfortunately, both teams' positions are exposed in the final stages, so if I had to say, I'd favor Nero a bit more. But Yao isn't completely without a chance. From previous encounters, we can infer that Nero's pistol needs time to recharge. If we can trick her into firing empty, we might be able to even the odds."

"Okay, thank you for your comments, Master Shiroyasha. From the bird's-eye view, we can see that neither side has any intention of avoiding and are both moving towards each other. At their current speed, they will still have time to meet..."

Black Rabbit pricked up his ears and began the countdown after receiving the news.

"five four three two one……"

"Now!" Kasukabe Yō stopped in her tracks. She had already located Nero's position through hearing and smell, and began quickly checking for nearby traps.

Then her pupils contracted slightly, becoming narrower and longer. This was a "thermal imaging" ability from an unknown friend of hers, which allowed her eyes to see parts of the spectrum that were invisible to humans.

So Nero, who was gradually slowing down in the distance, appeared in the bright light like a firefly in the dark night because his body temperature was much higher than the environment.

Yao recognized Nero from her presence, somewhat surprised that her final opponent would be her. Knowing that hiding was pointless due to the real-time location information, Yao stood still, stimulating all his senses to the utmost, and quietly waited for Nero to approach.

Finally, Nero realized something and stopped completely. Looking at the straight light on the bracelet without any shaking, Nero knew that his opponent had also stopped in his tracks.

The situation entered a strange stalemate.

Yao had no way to attack Nero remotely, and Nero was temporarily unable to determine Yao's exact location. So Nero stabbed Echidna into the tree trunk next to him and began to detect nearby intelligence through the spreading roots.

Finally, after confirming most of the traps nearby, Nero raised the pink revolver in his hand and aimed the muzzle at the light pointing to the opponent's position.

He gently pulled the trigger.

The bullet exited the chamber at supersonic speed, then rapidly decayed, trailing behind the sound wave. Yao's ears trembled at the sound of the gunshot, and he quickly deduced the bullet's trajectory based on the vibrations in the air, dodging it by tilting his head and sideways.

Nero, observing the thin line and judging that her opponent hadn't dodged the bullet, suddenly leaped up. She leaped from the bushes, grasping the serpentine sword wrapped around the branches, and slashed an arc, finally meeting Yao's eyes.

Nero knew that his attack had failed, and thought to himself that something was wrong. He raised his gun and aimed it at Yao again.

Yao also took action at the same time. She leaned forward and sprinted at high speed like a cheetah, constantly changing direction, jumping and dodging Nero's pre-aiming line, quickly approaching Nero.

Faced with such a fast and agile target, Nero knew that it would be impossible to hit the target if he fired rashly, so he pulled Echidna back to the ground and prepared to start close combat.

"With both sides carefully scouting out the trap's location, the hunters' showdown has finally returned to its purest form! Facing Nero, who previously completely dominated Aisha in a head-on clash, let's see what Yao will do—"

Nero landed and swung his Constrictor Sword. The several-meter-long whip-like blade completely covered a large area in front of Yao. Yao was naturally forced to leap up. In the air, without any leverage, Nero aimed in front of Yao and fired again.

The second bullet was fired. Yao naturally had no ability to be immune to the effects of the bullet, but she stomped the air hard in the air, stopped her forward momentum, turned and jumped, and then jumped again, changing direction and attacking Nero.
