Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 217 Mission: 07-6 The Storm Comes Again
Blazing white and crimson gold radiance collided before Hanba, the two remaining in a stalemate for a moment. The next second, Griffin, swathed in lightning, charged forward, knocking the golden bird over before tumbling away in the flames.

"Damn it, V you better get this done!"

The noisy black bird dozed into the ground, extinguishing the flames on its body.

However, its attack was quite effective. The drought demon it had knocked over was finally hit head-on by Nightmare's magical beam, and its golden flames were suppressed by the pure white high-temperature rays. Although it was not afraid of heat as a drought demon, after the beam shattered its protective divine power, Nightmare's raised fist immediately pressed it into the ground with a loud bang.

V didn't pursue. Under the intense heat brought on by the drought, he was already sweating profusely, panting slightly awkwardly. Nightmare vanished after completing the attack, and V, now black-haired again, quickly retreated, directing the shadows beneath his feet to form a pitch-black bird-catching net in the air, attempting to delay the bats' return defense.

Therefore, the final blow could only be delivered by Nero.

Nero streaked through the air, enveloped in a dark red-black magic, and plummeted to the ground. The kinetic energy released by the impact steel instantly caused the surrounding debris to crumble, sending rubble raining down. Facing the drought demon, wedged into the cracks of the masonry, Nero twirled his staff, sending the falling rocks flying. Then, in an instant, it transformed into a scythe, its cold blade aimed at the bird's neck.

One swing of the knife.

The angel of death's scythe struck the creature with a single blow, decapitating it. The mark etched on the birdman's hand slowly faded. Even in death, the beast's corpse still radiated an astonishing heat. Nero, now in human form, didn't dare to linger. He retreated, joined V, and began to clean up the remaining bats.

"The color of your magic reminds me of someone very familiar."

After executing a fire bat that had been deprived of its ability to move with his cane in mid-air, V spun his body and landed gracefully, facing the returning Nero and said.

The color of Nero's magic in "Arrogant" mode is deep red mixed with black, and the light blue magic she inherited from someone has not been used in front of V yet.

So there is no need to say more about who V is thinking of.

"Do I look like that man?" Nero asked knowingly.

As she spoke, she pulled out her pink rabbit-ear pistol and fired four bullets in the order of illusion, paralysis, paralysis, and siphon. She then waited quietly for the four bats that fell in a row in the air after being hit by the bullets, and then pierced them with the final explosive bullet.

The detonation bullet, which absorbed the power of the other four bullets, created a series of explosions, shattering all the bats blocking its way, and then finally crashed into the wall and turned into a grand firework.

"Of course not, not at all."

It's said that for demons, the color of their magic is difficult to change. Therefore, even after Vergil became V, his magic still had a faint hint of blue. Having absorbed the power of the Demon World Tree, Urizen's magic changed significantly, becoming a light purple, but it remained within its original color scheme.

Nero, who can create completely different magic power through the Sin Stone in his body, may be considered abnormal.

V hadn't anticipated that Nero's original magic color was actually completely different from the red and black he'd just been using. He watched Nero quickly empty the magazine and retract the strange pink revolver, sighing inwardly that he'd lost his mind.

It's been said before that Dante can't raise a lady. His "girlfriends" are also completely incapable of doing so.

The magical aura emanating from the Hanba faded in the air. V examined the mark on the back of his hand and realized that its absorption efficiency wasn't as high as he'd imagined. He thought that most of the spiritual energy in his blood had indeed been absorbed by Urizen through the Demonic World Tree. A moment later, a thunderous roar echoed from the distance. The bats, which had been waiting for an opportunity, suddenly scattered like startled birds. V and Nero both looked in the direction of the roar, startled. The gray storm that had encircled the entire outer gate of 666710, like a wall of sighs, suddenly began to stir again, with a portion of it moving towards the center at a visible speed.

And the direction of that part is exactly on the side of Nero and V.

"Do you know what's going on?" Nero asked V calmly.

"What's going on? We're screwed! This is the situation now!"

The noisy Griffin once again acted as a defeatist counselor, but V didn't refute it. He stared at the destructive storm slowly approaching in the distance and frowned.

"I don't know." After a long silence, he slowly spoke: "But it seems to be coming towards us."

After recalling the role of Decadence in the game, Nero had an idea. She glanced at the mark on the back of her hand, which had brightened considerably, and speculated, "Could it be that because there are more candidates for the True Beast, this thing is forcing you to compete with Urizen?"

"Don't forget, you should have a copy too."

V said, turning around and walking forward with his cane: "Let's proceed as planned and see what changes will occur after absorbing the next mark."

"Listen to you."

Nero quickly followed, but at the same time asked, "But is this [Wind of Decadence] really impossible to defeat?"

"Of course, the true [wind of decadence] cannot be defeated."

V took two steps, stepped onto the shadow that came to greet him, and began to glide forward again. "That's a single-digit existence in the Little Garden, possibly even the only one of its kind. To defeat it is like preventing the end of the universe in the infinite multiverse. Do you think anyone could accomplish such a feat?"

"But we all know that this is not the true nature of [Decadence]."

After Nero asked a follow-up question, V gave a hesitant answer.

"Indeed, if it's not a single-digit entity, then there is a record of [Decadence] being defeated. However, the conditions are also very harsh.

"As the all-devouring Demon King, resisting the erosion of the [Wind of Decadence] is equivalent to resisting the torrent of time. If you want to avoid being destroyed, you must possess a glory that cannot be destroyed by time, that is, a name that can be passed down through history. Specifically—

"A seven-digit [Decadence] must be suppressed with a six-digit 'Flag'; a six-digit [Decadence] requires a five-digit or higher flag, and so on.

"And the [Decadence] that appears here right now is probably in the four digits."
