Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 320 Mission: 06-1 Game Restart
The moment the game resumed, the earth shook. A dark rainbow light enveloped the town, and the bright red stone blocks vanished from the contestants' sight, replaced by numerous wooden buildings.

The stage of the game has become a small town in the Renaissance period.

Looking at the contestants in the distance, who were obviously in chaos, Weser laughed heartily. "It seems they really have solved the puzzle, but they didn't expect us to have this trick up our sleeve!"

By actively exposing the key information to solve the puzzle, the stained glass in the city - the "Grimoire of Hamel" will be concentrated near the church for their protection. At the same time, Weser and Sturm, whose spirits originate from the Weser River, will also gain stronger power by taking advantage of the geographical location.

The downside is that the Renaissance-style architecture will instantly reveal the era of "Hamel's Grimoire," hinting to the contestants that the difference between "Hamel's Town Inscription" and "The Pied Piper Fairytale" is the key to solving the puzzle. But now that the puzzle has been solved, there's no reason to hesitate to use this power.

In a way, Nero was more confident than Izayoi Sakamaki that he could solve the puzzle. However, what really convinced her to persuade Pest to open the grimoire was the news from Weser that the iron puppet created by the Rat Catcher had vanished into thin air. Since those elves knew all about Hamel just as Weser knew about them, it would be best to assume they had already come into contact with the other contestants.

"Weser, you are responsible for defending the church area."

As previously discussed, Peste gave the following order: "Nero and I will attack the enemy's headquarters."

It was a very simple and straightforward tactic. Whether Nero or Pest successfully broke through the opponent's defense, it would be equivalent to declaring victory in the game.

As for the contestants, both finding the stained glass and identifying it took time, putting them at a natural disadvantage in this regard. Furthermore, they were uncertain about their ability to penetrate the defenses of the now-divine Weser. The balance of victory was slowly tilting.

"Received~"

Nero didn't hold back at all, instantly transforming into a demon, spreading his wings and swooping down from the top of the bell tower. He instantly crossed the entire battlefield at an ultra-high speed several times the speed of sound, and rushed straight towards the contestants who were still at a loss.

Pest followed her slowly, like a black cloud filled with death, slowly covering the sky above Hamel Town.

Weser was left standing there, scratching his head helplessly, feeling very unhappy that he could not participate in the exciting battle.

"Okay, okay. Who said I'm the weakest?"

As he said this, he shrugged, sighed, and jumped down from the bell tower.

"coming."

On the other side of the battlefield, Izayoi stared at the blue comet streaking across the night sky and stood up from the roof.

"But they've actually brought out the entire town of Hamel. That's quite a big deal. This is probably going to be disadvantageous to us. We need to find a way to end this quickly..."

Can it be done? He laughed at himself.

"Anyway, let's start with you—"

Facing the swooping Nero, Izayoi Sakimaki jumped up with all his strength, instantly collapsed the house under his feet, and punched the sky.

As expected, she came—Nero, whose eyes caught Izayoi's, had the same thought in her mind. Facing Izayoi who leaped into the air, she also clenched her fists.

Two meteors collided violently in the night sky over Hamel. The result was... "Ah, it flew away."

Black Rabbit looked worriedly at the two people who disappeared in the terrible roar, and after a moment he turned his gaze to the battlefield on the other side.

Pest descended from the sky with a rolling black cloud, her might making one think she could instantly crush the other contestants. Across from her, Sandra, engulfed in flames, soared into the sky, facing the dark clouds without fear.

Behind Sandra, the fire dragons of [Salamanda] also took off on flying dragons, intending to escort the two teams responsible for cracking the game out of the encirclement of black clouds.

"Naive. A fellow of this level..."

Pest said this, extending her hand and intending to let the black cloud swallow the crowd below. This was simply a matter of convenience for her.

Anyone swallowed by this black cloud would completely lose their combat effectiveness, even if they survived, and be eliminated from the game. Realizing that the contestants likely had no one left, he even began to doubt whether it was unnecessary to have Weser guard the cathedral district.

In the whirlwind blown by the storm puppet Xutrom, the expansion speed of Pest's black cloud increased a bit, turning into a pitch-black tornado that raged across the earth, and was about to completely destroy the team sent by the contestants.

"Stop it, Demon King!"

Sandora charged, entwined in flames. The relentless blaze expanded, like a swirling dragon, piercing the black cloud. As the new ruler of the Northern District, Sandora, bearing the "Bone of the Star Sea Dragon King," possessed a top-tier strength among the five-digit ranks. She was simply too young and lacked experience. In sheer power, her flames rivaled Peste's black cloud.

But in the blink of an eye, the fire dragon was defeated. It's not that Sandora herself was shot down by Pest, but although the fire dragon that sank into the black cloud successfully tore it apart as expected, it failed to stop Pest from continuing to attack the crowd.

"How terrifying, Lord Level Ruler."

Pest taunted Sandora with a sarcastic tone, dodging her attacks and controlling the dark clouds behind her to surround the fire dragon again, strangling it layer by layer. She didn't want to get entangled here any further and planned to go past Sandora and head straight for the contestants' base camp.

Looking at the pitch-black tornado that was closing in below, Sandra, who had ignited flames again and rushed out of the black cloud, began to hesitate whether to use the trump card given to her by the Black Rabbit.

Fortunately, when Sandra hesitated, someone stood up for her.

"Dean!"

Amidst the bird's cry, a golden-red giant rose to prominence above the earth. Dean, a lifeless puppet, unafraid of Pest's death wind, suddenly expanded several times, then dozens of times, standing between the dark clouds and the earth like a giant pillar supporting heaven and earth.

"Rush over!"

As the bird gave the order, the metal giant stepped forward, its heavy footsteps rolling over the streets and houses, leaving deep imprints on the earth.

Those pitch-black tornadoes were like twisting snakes in front of the giant, shattering into pieces on the giant's red skin without even leaving a scratch.
