Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 400 Mission: 17-4 The Man with Nothing

I can't think of a solution. Is violence really the only solution?

Nero considered the feasibility of this. If he spread his magic power across the entire planet like before, could he forcibly capture this guy?
...seems useless. After finding her, Virgil could just play cat and mouse with her. If Nero drags it out any longer, she might be able to catch up. If she still has the Yama Blade, maybe she can still catch up.

Then, the only way is for Virgil to come out willingly.

Speaking of which, Nero's only way to leave this world is to use the Yama Blade to "open the door." So, no matter what, she has to catch Virgil.

...Open the door?
Suddenly, Nero felt a chill in his heart.

How could she have forgotten this?

The cane and heels creaked harshly on the rotten floor. Nero stood up and without a word, he unleashed his magic power, transforming into a demon and materializing wings behind him.

"To the Silver Bag Tower."

She dropped these words and took off, the wind pressure from her wings tearing the wooden planks apart, leaving Dante sitting there in a daze.

"...Just wait a minute." He complained speechlessly.

Nero, flying in the night sky, already understood everything.

She had forgotten to understand Virgil from the perspective of a "tumbler." Although this Virgil was very different from the one she knew, the difference had narrowed rapidly since his complete fall—specifically the difference between him and Urizen, because they were both Virgils who had completely abandoned human nature.

So, it is actually very easy to guess how Virgil will act.

He wants to defeat and kill Dante, but he doesn't have enough power, so he goes looking for more power.

So where can one find more power? Of course, the only way is to unearth the legacy left by Sparta and Mendes. Nothing remains of Sparta in this world, and even if there was, it was destroyed by Mendes. So, naturally, Virgil can only seek Mendes' power, the reason for his greatness.

And that is the "Gate to the Demonic World".

The only entrance to the Demon Realm exists in the ruins of the Silver Bag Tower.

Vergil will definitely try to become the king of the demon world, and then use that identity to take revenge on Dante - and the human world that Dante protects.

"What a...disgusting fellow!"

A pale blue meteor crashed into the ruins of the Silver Bag Tower. And as expected... countless demons once again poured out of the gate, and the Limbo Hell reopened, beginning to erode the human world.

Virgil opened the closed door again. He no longer sought those high-sounding excuses for himself, but began to truly endanger the entire world.

He no longer even acts.

Every action this guy takes seems to challenge the limits of Nero's anger.

"Give me almost—"

The reckless demons surrounded this unbeatable opponent. Meanwhile, Nero had already raised his fist high, gathering the two opposing forces in his palm and slamming it down hard on the ground.

“—Enough!!!!”

Instantly, the entire city… no, the entire continent trembled. A straight column of light rose from the ruins of the Silver Bag Tower, shooting straight into the clear night sky and tearing through the atmosphere.

The violent magic triggered a discharge in the distant sky, creating a dazzling ribbon of light that drifted and obscured the dim stars. The ruins of the former Silver Bag Tower had completely vanished, leaving only a bottomless hole.

Deep in the earth where the temperature reached thousands of degrees Celsius, Nero slowly stood up, his cold eyes fixed on the figure in black clothes and with messy silver hair.

He wasn't dead. Having successfully opened the gate to the demonic realm, he had indeed gained considerable power, but he was still no match for Nero. He had been severely injured by the previous blow, and now he gritted his teeth, pressing against the wound, his face glaring at Nero with a ferocious expression.

Glaring? I really give you face.

Nero disappeared from the spot in an instant, his palm instantly locked Virgil's throat, and his blade-like wings fluttered to block his counterattack.

Then Nero grabbed his neck and mercilessly pressed this shameful scum into the lava surging in the abyss, listening coldly to the guy's shrill screams.

Virgil tried to use his magic to protect himself, but Nero's energy far outweighed his own. His defenses were easily pierced, and the fiery red fluid gradually engulfed his body.

"……and many more!"

A voice boomed from far above Nero's head. From within the abyss, gradually being completely buried by the shifting solid earth, a figure blazing with red magic descended from the sky. "Wait! Nero, don't be impulsive!"

The high temperature and terrifying pressure made him sweat profusely, but Dante still activated his demonization and time acceleration, and rushed to Nero at full speed.

Nero wordlessly lifted Virgil from the semi-solidified, boiling lava. He now looked like a chicken stripped bare by scalding asphalt, ready to be put on the chopping block and put into the pot.

"I didn't kill him," Nero replied coldly.

To be honest, if it weren't for her promise to Eve, Nero might have really taken action just now. But she promised Eve that she would handle this matter, so of course it couldn't end with killing Virgil.

Otherwise, from Nero's perspective, Virgil wasn't her biological father, so she could just kill him. She wouldn't be sad about something so rotten.

A rant in anger? Perhaps. But Nero still believed it.

"Go and close the door," Nero ordered Dante, and at the same time, she stretched out her hand. Virgil's Yama Blade, which had fallen to the side, flew into her palm obediently. Nero raised the Yama Blade and pointed it at Virgil.

Dante was still a little worried when he saw her like this: "What are you doing..."

"I said I won't kill him, go do your job."

Death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be avoided.

This Virgil has fallen into this state, he is no longer worthy of holding the blood and power of Sparta.

Nero didn't even bother to listen to what Virgil was muttering, and stabbed the Yama Sword straight into his chest.

After a long absence, Nero picked up the Yama Blade... Though it was somewhat different from the previous one, it was still familiar to him. He activated the weapon's "separation" power, stripping Virgil of all his parental blood and strength. He watched as the form he held in his hands grew paler, more transparent, and weaker. He was no longer a Nephilim, no longer an angel, and no longer a demon.

But if without these things, Virgil would really be nothing...

It would be better for him to die early.

Finally, the excluded "impurities" condensed into a dark sphere behind Virgil, which was chopped into pieces by Nero's sword.
