Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 405 Mission: 01-4 The Foolish King
No more.

Can't stand it anymore.

V knelt down in front of Urizen, the scene before his eyes gradually blurring.

This was the reality. Even if he tried his best, he couldn't defeat Urizen.

After all, V is just an ordinary human, while Urizen is the emperor of the demon world.

The pitch-black crow was still noisily calling something in his ear, but V could no longer hear it clearly. His limbs gradually grew colder and his body stiffened.

Really...why hasn't Dante come back yet? He couldn't help but think.

It was obviously Dante who won the duel and was supposed to protect the world. He V has held on for so long, isn't that enough?
So, where is that guy?
V struggled to raise his head and looked upwards, hoping to see that figure.

Just at this moment, two streaks of light flashed across the sky, and V finally closed his eyes in satisfaction.

Turned into light and disappeared.

"...V! No, don't die!"

Mr. Nero, who was flying above the tree core, saw V fall down like this, and couldn't help but call out his name nervously, hoping that he could hold on for a few more seconds.

But in contrast to his demeanor, Nero, who was actually related to V, appeared quite calm. She waved her hand to stop Mr. Nero, who seemed anxious as if he were about to go to a funeral, and said, "Well, don't worry. He won't die."

"true and false?"

Seeing V turn into light and disappear, Mr. Nero turned his head in confusion, wondering where this Nero opposite him got the confidence from.

"It's hard to explain, but I've seen V after this."

Not only that, but he also killed the past Urizen together with that V. Karma is a more powerful force than time in the Little Garden. V once said that if he defeated Urizen in the Little Garden, then after karma returned to the outside world, things would turn out that V or his relatives defeated Urizen and prevented everything that happened in Red Grave City... It seems that this statement is now coming true.

But Mr. Nero had never been to the Little Garden, so it was hard for him to imagine. "...Excuse me, Miss Nero, do you speak the same language as me?"

"It's just a normal time travel. Imagine you return to your original world and then go back in time... something like that."

"Is there any chance of such a thing?"

"There are some."

Nero said, falling like a meteor towards the throne in the heart of the tree and the huge figure sitting on the throne: "You will know after defeating Urizen!"

Urison raised his head and stretched out a hand towards the dazzling meteors coming from the sky.

"Stupid..." A faint sound came from his face, which was wrapped in layers of vines: "You don't know your own limitations..."

The Demonic Tree, rooted in the Demonic Realm, had only just awakened, yet it already possessed immense power. After all, plants were like this; after exhausting all their nutrients and bearing fruit, they would enter a period of true decline.

During its current growth period, its power is actually even stronger. Nero broke through the vine-covered ceiling at the heart of the tree and collided with the red crystal in the hands of Urizen, who sat there as steady as a rock—the repaired Yama Blade. He realized this in the clash of magic.

That was Urizen at the moment, even stronger than when she saw him in the box garden.

Although it’s not much.

She also recognized that this Yama Blade was indeed the one that had been shattered by Multiverse Mondes before, but she had somewhat guessed this when she realized that the demon worlds of the multiverse were being unified. After all, Eve had already told her that the other Yama Blade fragments had fallen into the demon world.

This also brought another piece of good news. The unified Mondes didn't react even when Virgil repaired the Yama Blade and unsealed the Demonic World Tree right under their noses. This showed that their control over the Demonic World wasn't very strong at the moment, and their condition was clearly not very good. This made it more likely that Dante was still safe.

Good things are all good things.

Nero held his breath, drawing strength into the Yama Blade in his hand. With a radiance capable of tearing the world apart, it crossed with the red crystal, instantly shattering it. The Yama Blade, hidden within the red crystal, instantly transformed into a stream of light and returned to Urizen's hand.

"Then I'll trust you this time!!!"

Following closely behind Nero, Mr. Nero's demon form also grasped a flaming sword in both hands and slashed down at Urizen's head. Without the protection of the crystal, Urizen extended its man-sized palm once again, and magic and a storm erupted from its palm. But this alone was not enough to repel him. Mr. Nero's wings and claws slashed through the air, leaving two intersecting, bright claw marks in the air, tearing through the storm.

Facing two fully awakened, transformable, and in-tact demons from the Spartan family at once, it was obviously a bit too arrogant for Urizen to want to sit still and maintain that damn "dignity of the king."

The flames that burst out from the sword blade wrapped around Mr. Nero, spinning into a spiral, and with the amazing brute force, it hit the palm of Urizen with a heavy thud.

The power flowed through Urizen's body, through the roots that entwined it, through the throne behind it, and was dispersed into countless portions, evenly distributed throughout the entire Demonic Realm Tree. The crimson pool of blood beneath Urizen's feet trembled, raising a huge wave as tall as a man that crashed towards the shore, only to be torn apart by a bright flash of a knife.

Nero, having landed, felt the powerful tremors that ripped through the Demonic World Tree. From within the tree alone, it felt like a magnitude 7 or 8 earthquake. The entire blood pool churned, its water surging upward. Nero swung his sword through the air, slicing through the foul, foul waves. Then, another Nero was swatted away by Urizen's palm, landing beside him. His beloved sword, the Crimson Queen, flew away.

Mr. Nero, who broke through the waves, instantly became a drowned rat, and his iconic silver hair on his head was dyed red.

"How dare you-"

Blood splashed onto the ground, crimson waves shattering into a patchwork of red flowers. And after that crimson wave, Urizen (again, for Nero) became furious and spoke nonsense.

Even the Demon Emperor Mondes Nero could still say with a clear conscience that he was "beginning to understand human nature", but Urizen was really left with nothing to say.

"Did you hurt it?" asked Mr. Nero, who fell to the side and was half embedded in the ground.

"Pfft... Of course."

Urizen slowly stood up, the roots behind him snapping. He raised his hand, and a horrible scar pierced through his palm from where he had collided with Mr. Nero.

But it is also healing quickly.

"How dare you wield swords against the king—!"

Urizen roared and attacked the two Neros.
