Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 280 Mission: 06-7 Change
"Aren't these people too cautious?"

Not far from the Moniach, a dark figure hid in the forest above the Bronze City and bit his nails. "Time is very tight here, can you hurry up..."

"What do you mean by hurry up?"

A voice that was familiar to the shadow, yet also frightening, rang out from behind her. She turned her head to look at the darkness swaying in the storm, and saw a faint golden light slowly moving along the darkness.

The shadow recognized the person, someone who shouldn't be there. Her muscles tensed and she cried out in fear, "Why are you here?"

"Should I ask you why you're here?"

A flash of cold light tore through the rain curtain, illuminating Nero's face like a thunderbolt.

It was indeed her, Nero Fortuna, the mysterious being suspected of being able to simultaneously wield two high-level Word Spirits, "Judgment" and "Time Zero." But how could she possibly be here? The shadow had clearly checked her IP address and confirmed she was in the United States!

It's just past noon over there, she should be in class at Kassel College now!

This is bad, Black Shadow thought.

She dared to show up here as planned because she knew Nero had gone to the United States. She was too weak and could not be Nero's opponent in a head-on confrontation.

"What are you saying? You're not even allowing others to go out for a walk?" The shadow said casually. But her eyelids were twitching wildly, and the cold sweat and rain mixed together, making it almost impossible for her to open her eyes.

"It's really nice weather for a walk. So I came here for a walk too."

Nero's tone was clearly mixed with sarcasm, and Black Shadow would not fail to hear it.

Even if she had heard it, Black Shadow could only play dumb. Going to war with Nero wouldn't be worth the risk, so giving up this chance for a "marriage" wasn't a big deal.

As long as you are alive, there are plenty of opportunities.

"Then let's go our separate ways. It's time for me to go home."

Black Shadow said.

But Nero spun his knife and called out to the shadow who was about to turn around: "Don't leave so quickly."

She smiled and said, "Since you're here, how about I treat you to a meal?"

A beating, right?

The shadow muttered to herself. She instantly leaped to her feet, running towards the river without looking back, intending to escape by water. Meanwhile, Nero swung his sword through the air, the invisible blade solidifying the heavy raindrops in the air, shattering them into mist.

Blood splattered, then quickly melted away by the pouring rain. The shadow, undeterred by his injuries, stepped on a protruding rock as he fled, and a thunderous roar echoed above Nero's head.

This seemingly powerless kick triggered a massive butterfly effect, creating a mudslide in tandem with the torrential rain. Mud carried falling rocks, which crushed trees, and together the three transformed into a torrent that bore down on Nero.

This was known as "divine power." Black Shadow's analysis of force far surpassed the world's most sophisticated computers. With a single click, he could destroy a tall building and easily create a mudslide.

She dove into the water as nimbly as a fish, and the splashes she made were not as big as the rain. She looked like a good candidate for diving practice.

Without further ado, Nero rushed forward before the oncoming mudslide could engulf her, following closely behind. Visibility underwater was even lower than on a stormy night, and Nero couldn't follow the shadows with her eyes. Instead, she raised a pair of rabbit ears to try to eavesdrop on their thoughts. A moment later, the mudslide also rushed down the hillside into the water. The foul-smelling mud and sand stained the river. To avoid the sand in her eyes, Nero closed her eyes and dove deeper. Heavy boulders bounced around her, gradually slowing under the immense resistance, and one by one, they came to a stop at the bottom of the water.

There was silence in her soul's hearing, and she still lost the other person.

Just in case, Nero went to the gate of the Bronze City and took another look. There was no sign that it had been opened. The shadow—Jörmungandr—must have really escaped.

She had observed Xia Mi's movement the day before yesterday through her positioning system, and judging by her speed, she'd taken a train. Today was Xia Mi's first night here, so Nero had quietly left the academy, hidden himself, activated his demonic form, and flown halfway around the world before rushing here. He was truly exhausted, and the final result felt rather mediocre.

Thinking that he still had to fly halfway around the world to get back to the academy, Nero wanted to drag Xia Mi out of the field and give her another beating. Why are you joining in the fun for no reason?
But in fact, if you think about it the other way around, the traces of her fight with Xia Mi can be used to shift some of the blame onto the Dragon King, so this trip is not in vain.

Thinking this, she resurfaced and happened to see several helicopters appear in the night, braving the wind and rain, their lights sweeping back and forth across the river. Before she could be discovered, she quickly climbed ashore and away from the area where the mudslide occurred.

Seeing the helicopter hovering over the Moniach, Nero knew his goal had been largely achieved. Ye Sheng and Jiude Aki hadn't entered Bronze City today, so everyone on the Moniach should have evacuated before the wind reached level 10.

They wouldn't die just like that, so Nero's efforts had paid off. She sighed softly, and once again used the power of her sickle, Samael, to transform into a demon, spreading her wings.

Then she soared into the air, flew straight into the thick clouds to break through them, and then transformed into a solid body again, and finally saw the bright moon beyond the dark clouds.

"It's really a nice day for a walk."

With a low laugh, she vibrated the membrane wings connected to her tail, and swam above the clouds as gracefully as a ray, constantly accelerating, and finally turned into a faint light like a meteor.

She had to rush back as soon as possible because she had classes in the afternoon.

On the other side, on Nero's laptop, which was not turned off, a series of message reminders were flashing in the lower right corner of the screen.

Lu Mingfei: "Nero, it seems Caesar has also invited me to the ball."

Lu Mingfei: "I'm not really going, am I?"

Lu Mingfei: "I heard you need to wear formal clothes... By the way, was that suit you gave me expensive? Should I pay you back? (crying)"

Lu Mingfei: “Are you there?”

Xia Mi: "Senior Sister, are the courses in Cassel difficult?"

Nero, flying in the sky, looked at the land and sea rushing rapidly behind him, calculated the time that was passing by, and sped up again.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry..."

As she murmured a prayer to not be late, the thought of skipping class inevitably came to her mind.

Although she wanted to be a good student, but...

After being caught in the rain and soaked in mud today, she really, really wants to take a nice hot bath.
