Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 368 Mission: 09-4 Death of the Knight
When the attack failed, the black knight immediately pulled the reins and the horse raised its hooves to turn back.

But Dante had already made his move, a chain gleaming with scarlet magic hurled from his hand, the tip of the snake's mouth firmly biting a horse hoof. Flying through the air, Dante rolled back, and before he could fully regain his balance, he yanked the chain with all his might.

The Black Knight's plan to continue flinging the two men aside failed. After dragging Dante, cracking the marble floor, the Fiery Charger was forced to a halt. Meanwhile, the Black Knight's clone was shattered in the explosion. Forced to engage the two enemies head-on, he violently drew his bowstring, unleashing a barrage of slender ice arrows at Dante.

At the same time, cold flying swords and shields were created, circling around it, forming an offensive and defensive sword formation.

Phantom swords made of ice? Nero was all too familiar with this. She instantly locked onto the flying swords through the gemstone. Emerald green magic condensed into a torrential rain that fell from the Black Knight's head, covering him and knocking down the icy arrows he had fired.

The ice shield surrounding the Black Knight instantly gathered above its head, blocking the dense rain of swords. Nero, after deploying a delayed phantom sword, once again redirected the Envy Stone's power, this time targeting the Black Knight's horse.

To break through the ice defense line, fire is naturally the best choice.

Dante's hind legs were now firmly tugged at the horse, dragging it backwards. If he relaxed, he would be pulled back, leaving him no way to turn and spit fire back. So now it became a one-on-one duel between Nero and the Black Knight. Realizing that Nero was preparing a new attack, the Black Knight swung his bow and arrow, aiming for her.

Pale blue flames rose from Nero's eyes. Nero tightly grasped the gem in her hand, and swung her right hand, which was holding the sword, horizontally to the right. At the same time, a single pale wing made of flames emerged from her right shoulder.

Facing the Black Knight's charged arrow, which had pierced the phantom sword rain, Nero pressed the hilt of his sword to his shoulder, his flaming wings shielding him. The blazing flames instantly engulfed the wounded ice arrow. At the same time, Nero stomped his foot on the ground and charged straight at the Black Knight.

The pale blue flame also covered the blade of the cane sword. Nero instantly rushed in front of the black knight, flapped his wings to shatter the rotating ice sword, and leaped up, with the sword in his hand pointing directly at the black knight's neck.

At this extremely close distance, the Black Knight had no choice but to swing his bow like a whip. But Nero never suffered a loss due to a head-on confrontation. She swung her wings of fire behind her, spun her body, brushed past the Black Knight's swing, and turned the blade in her hand to cut the Black Knight's bow hand.

The Black Knight controlled the ice shield above his head and brought it down like a sledgehammer, blocking Nero's sword while trying to force her to retreat.

At that moment, Nero's eyes widened—a meteor-like flame shot out from her eyes, piercing straight through the black knight's ice shield and hitting its chest.

The opponent's heavy armor almost blocked the attack. Nero jumped up and fell back with all his strength, seemingly unable to launch another attack.

"Give me—kneel down!"

Dante exerted his strength. In the long, drawn-out battle between him and the flaming warhorse, he finally unleashed a burst of crimson magic. Dante, using his true strength, emerged victorious. The surge of magic flowed through his veins, a dark red glow penetrating his skin, illuminating the network of blood vessels. Dante now looked like a flashing red alarm.

His strength increased instantly, and he dragged the warhorse that was bitten by the chain and pulled it down.

The horse fell, and naturally the knight fell too. The black knight on the warhorse also lost his balance in an instant and fell to the ground.

Nero naturally couldn't miss this opportunity. She landed first, sheathed her sword, and drew angelic power from the mark on the back of her hand, briefly awakening Samael's scythe form.

For her, the angelic power left by Eve must be used sparingly.

So once you use it, you are bound to win.

The cane with the hidden blade spun and stretched in Nero's hand, the blue angelic power gathering at the tip to form a crescent blade. "This is the day of tears!"

Nero carried the scythe on his back, the left end of the blade over his shoulder, the blade in his right hand scraping the ground. The bright full moon was fished out from the mirror-like stone bricks and hooked onto the neck of the black knight who had fallen from his horse.

"The dead shall rise from dust—"

Nero sang a requiem softly, then raised his sickle and spun his body.

Behind her, a head rolled to the ground.

"The sinners are sentenced to everlasting punishment."

At this moment, the power in the sickle was exhausted, and it turned back into its original cane in Nero's hand. Without even looking, Nero drew his sword and threw it backwards, and the burning blade accurately pierced the rolling head.

The sharp sound of metal scraping indicated the Black Knight's helmet had been pierced, while the vibrant crackling sound indicated the flesh within was being consumed by the raging fire. Nero turned and flapped his wings, transforming his flame-coated wings into a blazing wall of fire, engulfing the Black Knight's headless remains.

At this moment, Dante also defeated the Black Knight's horse on the other side, and the power that Nero copied through the magic stone also dissipated.

"My Lord! Although you looked very handsome just now, have you ever thought about how to take me back?"

Samael's distant voice could be heard faintly through the wall of fire. The surrounding space began to distort in the flames. This was because the being who had dragged the two into Limbo was dead, and Limbo was about to "spit them out."

I really... hadn't thought about it. Nero scratched his head awkwardly, thinking that he couldn't leave Samael in Limbo.

This is her only way to actively enter and exit the Lingli Prison.

"It's really unreliable..."

Samael sighed loudly, clearly intending for Nero to hear. "Just now, the power of the angels and demons violently collided. The transformation of the Stone of Rage has been completed."

Is that so? Nero reached doubtfully into the bird mark on the back of his hand and pulled out the gemstone that had been nurtured there. The originally pitch-black magic stone had now completely transformed into white, looking like a flawless piece of white jade.

"Hey! What are you still hesitating about?" Dante's voice came from behind him. Nero didn't have time to answer him. He immediately tried to activate the power of this gem that was supposed to represent "gentleness".

Pure white mist poured out from it, extinguishing the flames like a fire extinguisher. This was a power similar to "purification."

But the most urgent thing was to get the things back. Nero immediately crossed the extinguished fire and caught the cane sword he had thrown.

　Coming, coming. Sorry to have kept you waiting.
