Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 369 Mission: 10-1 Devil May Cry
“…Just now, the police released the video of the terrorists who recently attacked St. Agares Church.”

On the news express program of Raptor News TV, the host Barbas, who was wearing a red suit, stretched out his hand and placed a video in front of him.

In the black and white picture, a car crashed into the church door, and two figures got out of the half-destroyed car and stood in front of the crowd participating in the worship.

The picture freezes, rewinds, and zooms in, locking onto the two figures in the driver's and passenger seats of the car.

"Remember these two faces, citizens. If you find them, please notify the police immediately..."

Snapped.

Virgil turned off the TV in front of him in annoyance.

As a result, Dante said that he had a way to enter Limbo, relying on the help of the previous demon?
And for some reason, he didn't go directly to the Vitality Drink factory, but instead, as if forgetting Virgil's words, went to demolish a church in public. This was completely undermining Virgil's plan, and even Virgil, no matter how well-mannered he was, couldn't help but swear at this moment.

"What the hell are you doing, Dante?"

As the church burned, Nero and Dante overturned the altar, smashed the statues, and then fled to the church's bell tower to avoid the fire, burning everything flammable behind them.

"To be honest, I've never done anything so satisfying in my life." Dante said, tearing down the painting on the wall and throwing it into the fire.

"is it?"

"You have no idea how much I wanted to burn that place to ashes when I was captured and taken to the demons' prison... but it was all ice, so it couldn't burn at all."

With that, Dante swung his axe, chopping off the church bell tower's supporting columns in just two or three strokes. The entire bell tower began to collapse under his attack, while Nero and Dante broke through the glass windows and climbed outside the bell tower, escaping easily as it crashed to the ground.

"Maybe there will be a chance."

Nero glanced at the fire behind him that was now unstoppable and chuckled softly.

Dante shrugged. "I hope so."

Afterwards, in order to avoid the surrounding police and demons, the two had to hide in a nearby alley and move towards the target factory little by little through the difficult-to-distinguish paths on the map.

On the way, Nero looked up from comparing the map bit by bit and asked, "By the way, what's this about being 'caught in the demon prison'? I think you mentioned it once before."

"It was only half a year ago—to be exact, I escaped from there half a year ago. That's when I learned how to awaken the sword behind me."

Nero nodded. "You said you were beaten unconscious? But what I'm asking is why you were arrested instead of being sent directly to Mondes to be beheaded."

"Who knows? Maybe it's too late? Anyway, it seems like I've been hunted by demons ever since I can remember, but maybe not many people can tell that I'm a Nephilim?"

Nero looked back and saw Dante, wearing a hood, walking behind her with his hands on the back of his head, swaying from side to side.

It's not impossible. After all, Nero didn't see any "angel power" in Dante at the beginning - he couldn't use it at all.

"So it was then that you truly realized that you were different from ordinary people."

"That's not true. Very few people can see demons. When I first discovered the existence of demons, everyone told me it was an illusion."

Dante said, clutching the magic stone pendant on his chest: "...But you are right, when I first escaped, I did doubt whether I was a demon.

“That was the first time I thought of it that way.”

"No wonder he was thrown into prison with the devil. What happened next?"

"Later, I found a way to check my heart and found that it was the same as that of an ordinary human being, so I felt relieved." Dante answered lightly.

Nero stopped in his tracks with his eyes wide open. "What do you mean by as effortless as looking in a mirror?" "It was indeed just looking in a mirror," Dante replied calmly. "I took off my shirt and stood in front of the mirror. Then I cut it open and took a quick look inside. I didn't damage anything inside."

Well, it is indeed difficult to understand this guy who grew up among demons and has no common sense at all.

"So this is how you know you're not a demon?"

"Ah."

"Huh..." Nero sighed, turned around and started walking again. "That sounds too scary. How about this? I'll teach you a simple way to identify demons... although I learned this from someone else."

"What?" This topic piqued Dante's interest, which was rare. He hurried forward, catching up with Nero. However, due to the width of the alley, he couldn't walk side by side. So he could only peek over Nero's shoulder to see her profile. "Tell me about it."

"It is said that demons cannot cry." Nero answered seriously.

Hearing this answer, Dante's cheeks twisted slightly: "...Is it true?"

"At least I haven't found any mistakes with this method so far."

However, this method is also difficult to go wrong. This is because it does not mean that there are no demons in the world that can cry, but on the contrary - as long as a demon can shed tears for a human, then the demon will possess a human heart and naturally no longer be a demon.

This is what Dante told Tracy, who was once a demon in another world, when she cried for the first time.

This is very similar to Nero's logic of "I consider myself human, so I am a human." Is it human blood that makes one human, or is it the presence of a human heart that makes one human?

There is no absolutely correct answer to this question, but at least Nero, like the Dante she knew, believed it was the latter.

Dante nodded doubtfully: "Okay... then let's cry and see."

Nero stopped and turned to look at him, a question mark seemed to appear above his head.

"?"

She had never expected this to happen.

"Didn't you say you were human?" Dante asked her matter-of-factly.

Prove it—his eyes said so.

Nero now understood what it meant to shoot herself in the foot. She said angrily, "Have you ever seen anyone cry so easily?"

"actor."

"I'm not!"

"So? Do I have to tell you a heart-wrenching, tear-jerking story first?"

"You—okay. If you can do it."

Nero, who was a little angry, finally let go and walked in front of Dante with a sigh.

"So I really told you? When I was a kid, I..."

The two walked through the alley one after the other.
