Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 442 Mission: 03-4 Bloodhound
“…Here you are.”

At the entrance of the white palace, in the middle of a sea of ​​blood that was scarlet, almost pitch black, the woman with purple hair raised her head.

"The Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows?" Nero folded her wings behind her and landed on the ground. She lifted the hem of her skirt and bowed. "I've heard of your great name for a long time."

"Ah, that's right."

Scathach, the queen of the Kingdom of Shadows in Celtic mythology, responded very coldly, pulling out two vermilion spears from her side: "I know your intentions, and you also know that I won't grant you your wishes. So let's keep it simple."

"You're really straightforward. But, that's fine."

The sea of ​​blood before him was the result of the slaughter caused by Scathach alone, yet there were no corpses to be seen around, nor was there any reaction from the monster He. The situation was quite obvious.

"Isn't it about time you wake up? Crazy King." Scathach whispered.

Then, as she called out, the pool of blood on the ground began to wriggle and take shape.

"...I understand, Master."

Climbing out of the pool of blood was the blood-soaked black berserker, Cu Chulainn, who had fallen into madness. With his appearance, Nero finally felt the magic of the demon beast He again in this singularity.

"You don't look surprised." Scathach turned to look at Nero again and said lightly: "Well, now it's time to exercise the responsibility given to me by this world."

The monster He, Invidia (jealousy) in the fifth simulated singularity seemed to have broken the seal and escaped for some reason. It was precisely because of this that Cu Chulainn Alter, who was responsible for guarding this place, was forced to assimilate with it and keep it in his body.

Then, Scathach continued to kill her own disciples, making it impossible for the monster to escape.

But this should also come to an end.

When Nero kills Cu Chulainn and takes away the monster He, this endless torture will end.

"It's great that we can start fighting without saying anything." Nero laughed again: "But this time, how long can you please me?"

As enemies who also use spears, unlike the Karna they encountered before, Scathach and Cu Chulainn may be slightly better in martial arts, but they do not have such strong defense and means to pose a threat to Nero.

Although the magic spears in the hands of these two people also have the power of destiny, "definitely hit the heart" and "definitely kill the enemy after hitting" are completely different concepts. Nero's heart has long been "battle-hardened". Even if she stands still and lets these two people stab her, her life will not be in danger for a while.

So for Nero, this was just a joke.

"You should be able to see the difference between the two sides, right?"

Nero smiled and continued, "But even so, do you still want to take action? It seems that you are not as wise as the king of Babylon."

"I was summoned as a Servant, and I fulfilled my duties as a Servant. That's all I am."

Scathach replied indifferently: "Go, Mad King."

"Ah, ah ah—it's time for this to end!"

Cu Chulainn, who was constantly being killed in a frenzy and became even more frantic because of being killed, spun the spear in his hand and leaped towards Nero with a roar.

"What a boring guy."

At this moment, Nero drew out his flexible whip sword, and the long whip with the blade swung at the "Kulan's Mastiff", wrapping the spear in his hand. Then, with a sudden tug, he threw him aside.

Cu Chulainn crashed to the ground, stirring up red waves.

Scathach followed closely behind. Even the Queen of Shadow, powerful enough to slay gods, was limited by her own body after being summoned as a Heroic Spirit. The speeding demonic spear aimed for Nero's heart, but was completely shattered by the metal fist.

"Everything in this world has nothing to do with me." Scathach said indifferently, reaching out her hand and opening the dark door behind her: "After all, it is just an illusion that existed in the past."

Indeed, this statement did reveal the true nature of Heroic Spirits. However, it was clear that the Heroic Spirits of the sixth and seventh simulated singularities had different ideas from hers. This also made them seem more human.

And Scathach—

She had already opened the gates to the Kingdom of Shadows. A terrifying suction force swept across the earth like a black hole, causing the blood on the ground to flow back into the sky and into the portal of chaos. Nero could also feel the suction pulling at him frantically, trying to drain his life and magic power.

Scathach is the queen of the Shadow Realm, as well as its guardian and gatekeeper. The gate she guards leads to the underworld, and she herself seems to have been infected by the underworld. Although she is undead, she is as lifeless as a corpse.

Cu Chulainn stood up again and attacked Nero from behind. Judging from his actions, he seemed to want to take Nero with him into the gates of the underworld.

Interesting, but of no use to her.

Nero dodged his attack with ease, then flicked the long staff that had suddenly appeared in his hand, sending the man flying into the air. A madman is a madman, possessing martial arts skills but choosing to attack with such an unskilled attack.

Then it is only natural that Nero would counterattack.

Cu Chulainn, rising from the ground, was sucked into the Shadow Realm's gate. Scathach remained completely unmoved, as if she hadn't noticed. However, Nero couldn't just let him be sucked away. The demon beast, He, was still inside him, and Nero didn't want to go to the underworld to look for him.

So she jumped up too. Speeding up, speeding up again, she finally caught up with the flying Cu Chulainn. But Nero wasn't going to kill him right there; she was going to kill the gate.

"After all, this isn't the first time."

She chuckled and pulled out the Yama Sword. Just as she was being pulled by the huge suction force and was about to fall into it, she stabbed the blade straight into the door frame.

In less than a blink of an eye, the moving door stopped and then disappeared.

Before the door vanished, Nero lightly kicked the doorframe, drew his sword, and leaped back, his spinning staff repeatedly knocking back incoming spears. Then, with his serpentine sword, he swung it mid-air, entwining Cu Chulainn, who had also not yet landed, and yanked him hard.

So the opponent slowed down while Nero accelerated, and the two collided violently in the air.

Nero's hand and the blade pierced through the Heroic Spirit's body made of magical power.

"——Warcraft Heinvidia, I will gladly accept it."

She pulled out her hand with a blood mist and held a magic core with countless cracks in her hand.

"Wait a minute!!!"

Finally, someone who had been chasing Nero finally arrived.
