Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 406 Mission: 01-5 Dancing
Waves that slowed the passage of time emanated from Urizen's fingertips, enveloping the palace at the heart of the tree. Blood crystals, once again imbued with magical energy, enveloped the Yama Blade and flew from its fingertips. Two piercing lasers shot towards the two people, whose movements were slowed by the sticky flow of time, adjusting their direction in response to their movements.

It seemed like a fatal blow, but to be honest, it was nothing more than that to the two Nero's who were already familiar with Urizen's three tricks.

Nero's blade flashed, and he easily used the Yama Blade to cut a gap through the sluggish field and escape. The other Nero was even more brutal—he roared in the slowed-down world, and the magic power that burst out directly shattered Yurizen's magic power, forcing himself back to normal.

I've probably said this before, but Urizen truly didn't inherit any of Virgil's martial arts skills. From any perspective, he lacked any skill at all, his only remarkable attribute being his seemingly limitless magical power.

Both Nero's had experience fighting with Urizen and knew very well what it was capable of.

Time lag fields, lasers, fireballs, controlled tentacles, and at most a flying sword, the rest were variations of these, all very monotonous, brutal, large-scale attacks that were afraid of missing targets. The only thing that couldn't be resisted was its sheer amount of magic power, which could unleash these things in a torrential manner.

So of course, Urison’s response is also very simple: if one time-delay field doesn’t work, try again; if two lasers can’t hit the target, add a few more.

With the Demonic World Tree at his back, even the damage he inflicted on Urizen was barely enough. Defeating it head-on was something even the True Demon Dante couldn't quite accomplish.

It may not be impossible to defeat.

But Urizen ran away.

So he wasn't defeated.

What Nero and his men had to do now was what Dante hadn't done: defeat Urizen head-on and forcefully, as well as the Demonic World Tree behind it. It was obvious that Urizen had almost infinite magical power and resilience in this state, so they had to kill him with a single blow.

The good news is that even after he stood up, Urizen was still too arrogant and didn't think about giving it his all. This guy really deserved to lose.

The time-lag field, opened again by Urizen, grew thicker, its pressure intensifying. Thick, blazing beams of magic twisted within the space as the velocity of time shifted, interweaving to form a narrow cage that trapped Nero and the others, steadily restricting their range of movement. Then, a rain of blades rained down from overhead, followed by a giant ball of fire rolling towards them.

It can be said that it is a dragnet, with enemies surrounding us from all sides.

Oh, by the way, Urizen's assimilation with the Demonic World Tree seems quite profound. The entire Demonic World Tree is now essentially a part of its body. While most of these limbs are immobile, they won't be harmed by its own attacks. Just like when it took Mr. Nero's attack earlier, it consumes, divides, and digests. Naturally, this is even easier with its own magic power.

Now, having suffered a small loss, Urison regained his spirits a little and was about to force the insects that provoked him into a dead end.

This way you can crush them with one foot.

But of course, thinking this way would only lead to failure again.

Once again, Nero was the first to move. Also wielding the Yama Blade, she wasn't in the least bit afraid of the temporal attack launched by Urizen through it. With a flash of her blade, Nero first severed the surrounding temporal fluctuations, then a dense web of blade light illuminated around her, instantly shattering a laser beam and allowing her to escape.

"do you need my help?"

She escaped from above the beam array, wielding her nunchaku to catch the rain of light, then merged it into a burning long stick to knock away the incoming fireballs, and asked condescendingly to the other side.

Mr. Nero's voice rang out from the gap drowned by the white light: "Who are you looking down on?"

Indeed, what he hated most was being considered a burden, especially since Nero was the one suspected of such a sentiment. Two massive light blades, arranged in an X-shape, tore through the laser beams, and Mr. Nero burst free from the prison of light. His demonized right arm, ablaze, raised high before him. "Give it to me—" he shouted, waving his winged claws and charging forward. Without hesitation, he punched the scalding ball of lava: "—Go back to your mother!!!"

Three Nero-high bouncing fireballs returned towards Urison at a faster speed, blocking the remaining lasers after the light blades dissipated, and crashed into the barrier formed by the Yama Sword in front of Urison.

...Well, this barrier was indeed a significant problem. Nero himself was confident that he could bring Urizen to the brink of death with a single blow, but the moment the barrier broke, the counterattack would likely absorb Nero's prepared attack, forcing him to start all over again.

Then, the only option is cooperation.

"Are you sure you can knock this guy down with just one blow?"

After dodging Urizen's pursuit in the air, Nero looked at Mr. Nero who crashed into the barrier and was knocked back by Urizen again after a moment of stalemate.

"Uh..." Mr. Nero, who fell to the ground, made a hesitant sound.

It was obvious that he wanted to say yes, but he wasn't very good at lying.

"Then I'll leave its barrier to you."

Nero slashed through the air, his stagnant sword wave stopping the incoming fireball. Then, with a spinning kick, Nero sent it flying back, only to be blasted to smithereens almost instantly by Urizen's laser fire, which suddenly increased in power.

At this time, Nero had already moved away from the laser and came behind Mr. Nero.

"Wait for my signal."

Her voice drifted past Mr. Nero's ears. Then Nero vanished again, leaving Mr. Nero alone, enveloped by the huge white magic circle on the ground.

"Oh my god..."

Before he could utter a curse, a stream of flames like a volcanic eruption surged up from under him, drowning out the rest of the sound.

But it's okay. The Spartans are known for their resilience. After the flames dissipated, Mr. Nero, covered in a scorching smell and black smoke, still stood there, albeit looking rather disheveled.

"call……"

He exhaled a puff of choking black smoke, raised his fist and knocked the fireball away again, turned his head to look at Nero who was flying in the air, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Does having an extra pair of wings really make you fly faster?"

Also, she said to wait for her signal, but she didn’t say what the signal was?

Thinking of this, Mr. Nero twisted his neck helplessly, and once again followed the fireball and swung his sword to smash at Urison's barrier.
