Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 193 Mission: 04-4 Demon Legend
"Congratulations on winning the following prize——"

"Oh?"

The moment she saw the prize, even someone as quiet as San Na couldn't help but say, "Looks like you're really lucky."

Along with the text, a pure black card appeared in front of Nero. It was about the same size as a touch-screen phone, with a hard texture and dense white text written on it.

"It's done?" Nero whispered in disbelief.

The contents of the prize are also written in text.

[Special Prize: Gift Card (Laplace Paper)]

This is an extremely rare and precious item. As the name suggests, it was created by the "Omniscient Demon" Laplace Demon and is known as the "Omniscient Corner." This great demon and her community are members of the Thousand Eyes, and therefore the issuance of "Gift Cards" is completely monopolized by the Thousand Eyes.

As for its effects—this small piece of paper is directly bound to the soul of its holder, allowing it to display all of the owner's gifts through the power of "omniscience" and also serve as a storage space. Therefore, for those who wish to identify the power of their gifts but do not want their abilities to be known to others, obtaining a gift card is the best solution.

The numerous words written on the card at this moment are the gifts that Nero possesses. Most of them are different magical tools from various sources. The most important content lies in the three names at the top.

[Half-Demon Princess], this is easy to understand, representing Nero's half-human, half-demon bloodline, and also contains the spiritual power that Nero obtained by "killing demons".

[Hamel's Demon], this gift represents the false spirit implanted by Peste when Nero was summoned, and it does not have much power.

Then came the most crucial thing, which was also the strange spiritual power that made Pest hope that Nero could get the gift card to find out the truth.

【Number：Unknown】

When summoning Nero, Pest said that Nero was inhabited by a huge, dormant spirit. Although this spirit was huge, it was ethereal and illusory, as if it did not really exist.

And Nero now learned its name: Unknown.

Nothing could be discerned. Even the creation of the omniscient devil could only describe it as "unknown."

"It seems like all my efforts were in vain?"

Nero smiled self-deprecatingly, put away the pure black card in his hand, and walked towards another lottery machine.

It wasn't entirely a failure, though. At least Nero knew the name of this gift was related to a "number," or rather, a "number." If we leave Nero aside and focus solely on the number associated with the name "Nero," it's naturally the "number of the beast," "666." And Sparda, the magic swordsman who arrived in the small garden world, somehow also became the "Demon Lord [Beast of Six Hundred and Sixty-Six]." I wonder if this "unclear" is related to this.

Nero used the last lottery ticket on another lottery machine, and what he got in the end was another gift item.

[Demon Blood Ring]. This blood-colored ring seems to harbor the spirit of a demon, transforming anyone who wears it into a demon.

Feeling it was useless, Nero placed it in the Gift Card along with the other items he had just obtained. Although he couldn't figure out the unknown Gift, at least it was still very useful as a space prop.

The day was already halfway over, and the game wasn't over yet. According to the rules, Nero, still carrying the card containing the narcissus egg, couldn't leave yet. But she wasn't interested in collecting more, so she simply wandered around the game area.

Since there was a gift game where people competed in sales, she figured there must be a place where people could get dessert. After searching the map a few times, she actually found it.

The ice cream here was ingeniously shaped like flowers, naturally reflecting the game's theme. After enjoying his dessert, Nero watched the live broadcast of the Gift Game on the screen for a while, and then he had to admit that Black Rabbit himself was often more eye-catching than the actual game. The sun slowly set, and the day ended. After the Gift Game "Flowers of a Thousand Rivers and Lakes" officially concluded, Nero met His Highness and Lin again on his way back to the Realm Gate.

"What a coincidence."

As His Highness said this, there was no trace of "what a coincidence" on his face, making people feel that he was deliberately waiting for someone.

"Is there anything you want to say?" Nero asked.

"Of course. We still have a lot to discuss about the Gift Game [Legendary Great Devil], don't we?"

"Then let's find a place to have a good chat."

Once again in the coffee shop owned by Six Wounds, Nero looked at the young boy and girl before him and asked seriously, "So, now can you tell me the details of Ouroboros?"

“…How should I put it?”

Faced with this question, His Highness seemed to start to play it safe: "Of course, I can't tell you the specific purpose of the alliance, and I can't say I'm clear on it myself."

"It's clearly 'Your Highness'?"

"That title means nothing. I haven't even become the leader of the 'Second Alliance' yet."

As he spoke, he forced the topic back to the Gift Game: "Regarding the [Beast of Six Hundred and Sixty-Six], we are almost ready for you to participate, but there are still some things I hope you can pay attention to."

"Tell me more about it?" Nero asked.

"You should have learned quite a bit about the Alliance [Six Hundred and Sixty-Six Beasts]. Ultimately, they're just a ragtag group of people united by a worship of the Demon King's power. They have no camaraderie or mutual support. Therefore, the disappearance of the Demon King's leader is a huge blow to them."

"I know that."

Seeing Nero nod in response, Lin continued, "That's easy to say. So you have to understand that this alliance is actually on the verge of disbanding, and the secret treasure left behind by the legendary demon king 'Beast of Six Hundred and Sixty-Six' is their last straw.

"Therefore, they would never allow anyone to take it away. The purpose of holding this gift game is to hope that it will be found by others, and it is impossible to allow anyone to take the treasure away."

Hearing this, Nero couldn't help but frown slightly: "Then is there any need for me to participate in this game?"

"Have."

Lin replied simply: "And we will spare no effort to support you in taking the treasure away. This is also very important to us."

"...What's the price?"

After a moment's silence, Nero asked her back.
