Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 226 Mission: 09-1 Sword of Truth
"hateful!"

Izayoi passed through the gushing blood fountain, but could not find Urizen's figure among them. It was obvious that he had really left.

So he punched the ground, causing the entire platform to sink instantly.

"What's going on?" Shuten-doji frowned in confusion.

Just now, when he, Izayoi, and Leticia were surrounding him, all the magic attacks released by Urizen were broken by Izayoi, and in the close combat, he was obviously no match for Izayoi and Shuten-doji, so he could only fight and retreat and could not suppress the three of them.

Unfortunately, under the protection of the mysterious crystal, although the defense line was broken several times, the short repair time was not enough to cause the three people to suffer injuries that could affect the battle situation. Therefore, Urizen, who was leaning against the Demonic Tree, did not show any signs of fatigue at all.

Considering that time was also on Urizen's side, he could be said to have the upper hand. But just now, Urizen was suddenly hit by Shuten-doji's attack, turned around and stepped into the surging blood fountain, disappearing.

Even if we set aside the fact that Yurizen held the upper hand, Shuten-douji, based on what he had learned from their encounter, was certain that Yurizen would not flee. For Yurizen, escape—that is, admitting weakness—was more terrifying than death. Given this, there seemed only one possible reason for Yurizen's departure.

"The fruit is about to ripen?!" Leticia exclaimed in astonishment, "This shouldn't be possible!"

Although she couldn't see the growth of the Demon Realm Tree on the ground, she could tell from the blood energy spreading from the tree that the tree had not yet completely transformed the "nutrients" it absorbed, so the fact that the Demon Realm Tree had already borne fruit was indeed something that shouldn't have happened.

"No, there is another possibility."

Izayoi raised his head and asked the other two, "Didn't you notice that those two guys haven't arrived yet?"

Then, in the minds of Leticia and Shuten-doji, the images of the blonde girl and the black-haired young man flashed by in an instant.

These two people, who had almost been forgotten by them, had now turned around and started a confrontation with Yurison.

The moment she saw Urizen shatter the black sword, Nero's heart sank to the bottom. She was already weak from being knocked back from her demonic form, and after taking such a direct blow, she felt as if her waist was about to break, and the pain was so severe that she could barely stand.

On the other side, V's situation was just as bad. He couldn't summon Nightmare, and his other two pets were caught by Urizen. Apart from that, he was no different from an ordinary human, and his life was hanging by a thread as he was entangled by the tree roots.

On the other hand, Urizen, having escaped the three men's siege, showed no obvious injuries. A few tentacles on his back had been torn off, and they were even beginning to grow again. Furthermore, these tentacles weren't part of his body at all; they were merely a connection between him and the Demonic World Tree, similar to a baby's umbilical cord.

The situation can be said to be overwhelmingly unfavorable.

"Ah... I thought it was some bug that wanted to eat my precious fruit."

Urizen flipped his hand, letting the scattered fragments fall to the ground. He sneered and said in a hoarse voice: "I didn't expect it to be an old acquaintance. You pathetic phantom."

As V, unable to make a sound and gradually being swallowed by the tree roots like a corpse, Urizen seemed to speak more. "And this garbage you're carrying... garbage belongs with garbage. The final destination is to be abandoned by others."

As he spoke, he retracted the red crystal that had knocked Nero away and began to accumulate energy: “It’s time to say goodbye forever, you were just a mistake.

"You are really an eyesore."

Nero struggled to her feet, her heart pounding wildly, her mind racing, searching for a glimmer of hope. She looked up, her gaze landing on the gift card she had taken out. Written in white on the black gift card were the words, among which the "Beast Banner of Six Hundred and Sixty-Six" were prominently displayed.

Nero's heart moved and he realized something.

This certainly didn't mean she should use the flag to threaten Urizen; even a fool would know it wouldn't work. But the flag's existence alerted Nero, and she quickly checked. Sure enough, the gift game, "Sworn by the Sword," hadn't concluded yet. This meant the "Sword of Truth" the game pointed to still existed—or could be recreated.

Could this be the way to defeat Urizen?

She didn't know, but it seemed worth a try. Nero and V couldn't possibly defeat Urizen with their current strength, and the three men who had fought him before weren't likely to show up anytime soon, so this game was her and V's last chance of survival.

But the original "Sword of Truth" has been destroyed. How can Nero obtain a new one?

Or you can ask, what is so special about that sword?
One condition after another turned, changed, and extended before Nero's eyes, gradually forming a clear chain.

Sword of Truth
The Image of the Beast
Blood of Sparta
The flag of the Beast of Six Hundred and Sixty-Six
Demon Princess' Ring

Yan Mo Dao
Lin's Tips
Nero, having figured everything out, took action.

She wrapped the blood-red ring with a gold border with the flag of the six hundred and sixty-six beasts, and then pierced through the two with the Yama Blade.

The ring shattered under the blade, turning into blood mist that attached to the blade.

"You are trash!"

At this moment, just before Urizen was about to destroy V with his surging magic power, Griffin seemed to realize something and shouted to attract Urizen's attention: "You don't even have a mother!"

As expected, Urizen cast his gaze upon the ungrateful bird. A lavender beam of magic instantly engulfed it, transforming it into a speck of dust in the air.

Nero had no time to feel sad and threw the long sword in his hand.

At this moment, Urizen had just turned his attention back to V, and the magic cannon attack had not even ended. Faced with the rapidly flying blood-red lightning, he had no time to react.

Tentacle-like roots emerged from the ground, attempting to stop the attack, but the sharp Yama Blade was no match for the ethereal longsword. Aided by Nero's magic, it cut through the roots without hesitation, plunging straight into the small tree, nailing the banner of the "Beast of Six Hundred and Sixty-Six" firmly to it.

The blood mist transformed from the ring poured into the tree. After absorbing Sparta's blood, the red light in the Demon Realm Tree became even brighter, and in an instant, a fist-sized bud appeared at the top of the branch.

Urizen's heart was first filled with anger, then surprise, and finally confusion. The Yama Blade, piercing through the tree trunk, appeared before him and V's eyes, announcing several shocking facts.

The game document in Nero's hand also burst into light at the same moment, announcing the end of the game.
