Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 413 Mission: 02-4 First Encounter
"Jilie? Credo?"

The door of the house opened slightly, and Nero poked his head into the dark room and looked: "I'm back."

But what surprised her was that there seemed to be no one in the room.

"Aren't they home?" Mr. Nero followed her in and speculated, "Are they still at headquarters?"

“It feels possible.”

Especially for Credo, he had rarely returned home before becoming Pope, and after Nero left, it was probably only Gillie who lived here. As for now, Gillie might have gone there to take care of Credo, or...

Thinking back, Nero's call was only half a day ago, so it should have been still dark here then. So, Jillie must have rushed to the cult headquarters to tell Credo the good news of Nero's return, but it was too late when she arrived, so it wasn't convenient for her to come back?
Thinking of this, Nero stopped worrying and walked in: "There's nothing we can do. Let's rest for a while and then go find them when it's daybreak."

Mr. Nero shrugged and raised his hand. Although this was his home, it wasn't his own, so he naturally had to follow the host's instructions.

I haven't been home for a long time. I should take a good bath first... But before that, I have to see if there are any clothes in her closet that can be worn. If not, I may have to borrow a set of Jillie's. Then -

Nero came out with a pile of clothes in his arms. He looked at Mr. Nero, who was holding a phone with a low battery warning and looked troubled. He said hesitantly, "Just... please help yourself."

Judging from the way he casually used his mobile phone to add battle BGM to himself, the battery of his mobile phone must have been consumed quite quickly. It is very likely that even the spare charger has run out of power long ago, which is why he showed such an expression.

"What are you doing?"

"Take a shower."

After receiving the answer, Mr. Nero covered his forehead speechlessly and immediately turned to leave: "Then I'd better go out for a walk."

"As long as you're happy." Nero didn't stop him. "But are you really not going to leave your phone here to charge?"

Mr. Nero stopped as he was about to step out the door.

After a moment's silence, he turned to look at Nero: "Is there a charging connector?"

When Nero emerged from the bathroom, contentedly covered in white steam, she faintly heard the sounds of commotion coming from the forest. She had no idea how Mr. Nero was doing this.

Let it be.

But when he came back, the sky was already faintly blue.

Nero handed him back the fully charged phone.

"Oh, thanks."

"Did you enjoy your visit?" Nero asked.

Mr. Nero spread his hands when he heard that. "Honestly, not really. Fortuna here is so clean! I almost didn't run into a single demon."

"Of course, the Knights of the Order here haven't disbanded."

"That's true."

Next it was time to set off for the cult's headquarters.

As previously mentioned, without the Demon Realm Gate and the Pope's secret experiments, the entire island had become quite clean after several sweeps by the Knights of the Order, with few traces of demons to be seen. It was for this reason that the two Neros arrived at the gates of the Order headquarters unimpeded. Looking at the graceful, pure white overpass, they couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

This is where Credo fought with them.

"Since we came here so suddenly, we won't be mistaken for enemies, right?" Mr. Nero said jokingly.

"Shouldn't I? I don't want to destroy the cult's property."

Despite their words, neither of them took the remaining demon knights at headquarters seriously. It was precisely because of this that they were completely unresponsive when the thunderous flash of the blade flashed. The cold blade silently tore through the air, striking straight for Mr. Nero's throat. By the time the two unsuspecting men noticed the dark figure wielding the blade, the blade had already touched Mr. Nero's skin.

"Varied?!"

At the critical moment, he raised his hand and firmly grasped the blade. After that, a pair of hawk-like eyes under the black robe flashed with a cold light, and he stubbornly wanted to push the blade forward.

"you--"

Mr. Nero recognized the knife in his hand. He exchanged glances with the mysterious black-robed man, and was immediately spun around and kicked away. Before he could even hit the ground, a flash of light followed, and the black-robed man vanished from his original position, following him closely like a shadow.

Mr. Nero, soaring through the air, reached out once more to grab the incoming blade, shouting in shock and anger as he grappled with it:

"What are you doing, Lao Deng?!"

The phantom sword that emerged from behind the black-robed man revealed his true identity, but what was more iconic was naturally the Yama Sword in his hand.

Mr. Nero materialized a pair of winged claws from his back, and his arms also partially transformed into demons. He grabbed the Yama Blade with both hands, and with his winged claws, he grasped the black-robed man holding the Yama Blade and fiercely threw him over his shoulder.

But the man in black robe also managed to get back on his feet, rolled over and landed on the bridge, raising his head.

"...Who are you?" he asked in a low voice, "How come you possess the power of the Spartan family?"

The atmosphere is still tense.

"Guess what, Old Deng." Mr. Nero called the other person that impolitely.

"Why are you with her?" the man in black robe asked again.

So this is the key? Nero watched the scene with a mixture of laughter and tears. She hadn't expected this guy to arrive in Fortuna before her.

They were also ambushed here.

After thinking for a while, she finally interrupted the confrontation between the two: "Dad? Why are you here?"

The man in black robe lifted his cloak, revealing Virgil with his silver hair neatly tied behind his head.

But his aura remained undiminished. Facing Mr. Nero, Virgil still looked ready to draw his sword at any moment: "Nero, who is he?"

"Is it your son? Probably."

"what?!"

"If you want to explain, then explain it clearly!" Feeling the murderous aura coming towards him had increased a bit, Mr. Nero shouted loudly while holding the Scarlet Queen behind him.

"Okay, no more jokes then."

Nero cleared his throat and extended a hand toward Mr. Nero in a serious tone.

He said: "As you can see, this is also Nero. Nero from another world."

"What?!!!" Virgil's voice was louder than before.

But this time, the murderous aura finally dissipated, and Mr. Nero breathed a sigh of relief, loosening his grip on the sword. "Yes, my name is Nero too, and my father is also Virgil. Although he's not the same person as you."

"This is... really interesting."

It was not until this moment that the Yama Blade in Virgil's hand disappeared from his hand.
