I don't want to be a heroic spirit

Simply put, it's all white.

White mask, white robe, even the staff is white.

Behind it, there are pure white wings.

"That's all! Adventurer who aspires to defeat the Demon King and earn the title of hero! I am..."

He had only said half of his words when Nero's figure suddenly disappeared from his sight, and at the same time, a terrifying murderous intent attacked him from behind.

"Oh!"

The collision produced a deafening explosion.

Sparks flew from the sword, but Nero's sword didn't hit the opponent, but instead hit a translucent membrane around his body.

It is obviously just a thin layer, but it gives people a feeling that it is stronger than seven layers of city walls combined.

Just like the barrier that protects the Demon King's Castle.

As gravity took effect, Nero's feet landed on the ground with a hint of surprise on his face.

That kind of barrier... can it actually be covered outside the body?

The angel cadre flying in the air was speechless for a moment, and then anger emerged in his eyes.

"You attacked me during my introduction! Aren't you afraid of bringing shame upon your heroic name?"

Upon hearing this, Nero raised his eyebrows and said unhappily.

"How dare you say such things? You were the one who attacked first! As soon as Yu Gang walked in, he launched a lightning magic at me. You have no moral principles at all, right?"

After these words were spoken, the other party was also stunned.

"Uh...it seems like it was my fault. I'm sorry, because you slaughtered my men before you even came in. I was so angry that I just attacked you..."

The angel cadre bowed to Nero sincerely and apologized.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little weird.

Nero stroked his chin.

"Hmm! I accept your apology, so... are you planning to just let me go?"

"Ah, that won't do. My duty is to maintain the barrier protecting the Demon King's Castle. Even though the barrier has been destroyed, I can't turn a blind eye and let you pass. Even though I dislike that old Demon King... But sorry, it's my duty."

Well, it seems we have to fight.

After coughing twice, the angel cadre spoke again.

"Let me explain... although you may have heard this from somewhere else, I can borrow magic power from Hell. With an endless supply of magical power, I can be said to be the strongest cadre in the Demonic Empire. Even the Demon King is no match for me."

"If you back out now, I can let you go safely."

The other party's words made Nero open his eyes.

"Hmm... Is this okay? I seem to have killed quite a few of your men, right?"

"It's not good... but who made me attack you first? I feel a little sorry for you and a little guilty... If I let you go, I'll feel better."

After staring at the other person for a long time, Nero smiled.

"Thank you for your kindness, but... I have already decided that I must kill the Demon King today."

"Really... Then just pretend I never said that."

As if Sydney Lu's decision was already understood, the Angel cadre said no more.

Enormous magical power was mobilized, and various elements responded to his call.

"Then... try to leap over me, adventurer!"

"I'm betting on my reputation as the strongest! I won't let you pass me by!"

The angel cadre shouted very excitedly. Nero always felt that he had always wanted to shout these words to others, and today he finally got the chance.

"As you said, with the boundless magical power from Hell, you can indeed call yourself the 'strongest'... but that's too unfair to me."

Sticking the sword into the ground, Nero's emerald eyes suddenly ignited with a cold blue flame.

His voice gradually became deeper and more majestic.

Although Nero always regarded his [Emperor's Privilege] as a cheat, but... the other party also has a cheat.

So she decided to deprive the other party of the plug-in first.

“Yah——”

“Yah——”

A bell suddenly rang in the spacious hall.

Because the bell sounded too suddenly, the angel cadre was distracted for a moment.

It was this distraction... that made him unaware that Nero had come behind him, holding the sword high.

The death knell is approaching.

This is a destined death.

"Riding from the depths of the valley, from the darkness of death."

"My sword will transform into a bird of prey to peck out your eyes, and my black robe will turn into night to repel the blessings from hell."

"I, based on destiny, will deprive you of your wings."

"Death-Announcing Feather, cut off the head—[Death-Announcing Angel]!"

Deeper than pitch darkness, more dead than the dark night.

A bone mask suddenly appeared, with two blue spots dotted in its eye sockets.

Then, a flash of white light appeared.

Pure white feathers fell with the dusk, and the distant and magnificent bell sounds echoed in the air.

The angel cadre stiffened.

The eyes behind the mask were filled with uncertainty and fear.

Because he suddenly discovered... his connection with hell was cut off.

"No, it's not cut off."

With his sword stuck into the ground, Nero, half of his body covered by darkness, looked like death itself.

"But I... killed it."

Chapter 352 Become a Brave Man

Nero's battle with the angel cadres ended very quickly.

After Nero killed the angel cadres and the magical connection with Hell, the other party surrendered very simply.

"You are very strong, extremely strong, as strong as a monster... Especially the ability you just used. Such a pure aura of death, I have only seen it in gods who control death. If you didn't have the aura of a god, I would have thought you were the incarnation of the god of death..."

The angel cadre sat on the ground and said with some frustration.

"To be honest, I don't think I can defeat you. Even with infinite magic power, you can still get close to me and sever my connection to Hell. Now I have even less hope... And I have no way to break your ability related to death."

Then, the door behind the angel cadre opened automatically, giving a feeling of a level-breaking game. After defeating the BOSS on this level, it was time to move on to the next level.

The angel cadre said that his mission was not to protect the Demon King, so the Demon King's life or death had nothing to do with him... and he had seen the Demon King being defeated by the hero more than once.

The reason why the barrier was created and guarded here was because the Demon King asked him to do so. Other matters had nothing to do with him.

Ignoring the angel officer, Nero walked towards the open door.

"Hey!"

The voice of the angel cadre came from behind, causing Nero to turn around in confusion.

The angel cadre said, "I suddenly remembered... I don't think I know your name yet? After all, you're the first person in the world to defeat me, and there's a high probability that you're a future hero... You should at least let me know your name, right?"

Nero blinked, a hint of pride emerging in his smile.

"Hmm! Then you must remember this name well. This name, as bright as a rose... will probably be sung by the whole world in the near future!"

He held his head high and chest out, his right hand on his waist and his left hand covering his chest. His ethereal voice, like a yellow oriole singing in a valley, contained unparalleled calmness and confidence.

"My name is Nero! Nero Claudius! Emperor of Rome! The most noble and noble man in heaven and earth! The magnificently blossoming flower of Olympia!"

"Remember my name! Mark my image! Behold my glory!"

Speaking of which, heroes and demon kings are the themes of many Western fantasy worlds, and there are countless games and animations related to them.

If in the future, she went to a world with a legend of a hero... she could just tell others that she was a hero who had defeated the Demon King.

For example, the world of the Shield Hero, the world of the Cautionary Hero, the world of a certain demon king working at McDonald's, the world of Spider-Girl, the world of Freellian... and so on. There are so many worlds like this.

Of course... the prerequisite is that she really defeats the demon king here.

"If I succeed in defeating the Demon King, I should also be awarded the title of a hero, right?"

As if deliberately creating a special atmosphere on the dark purple corridor, Nero walked slowly while casually taking out his adventurer card.

After defeating the golden dragon, Nero's card now has a new title: [Dragon Slayer].

Alice, Huihui, and the others also have this. It seems that everyone who participated in that battle received this title...or rather, everyone who contributed to the defeat of the Golden Dragon received the title.

On the way back, Huihui would take out her adventurer card from time to time to look at it, and often show it off to Kazuma and Darkness.

If you defeat a dragon, you will be awarded the title of [Dragon Slayer]. There is no reason why you won’t be awarded the title of [Hero] if you defeat the Demon King!

This is proof! This is something I can brag about! Otherwise, how can I convince others that I'm truly the hero who defeated the Demon King? What if they think I'm faking it?

As his thoughts drifted, Nero reached the end of the corridor.

A huge door appeared in front of him, with evil and hideous patterns painted on it... Although Nero couldn't understand what the pattern meant, he inexplicably felt that it was very appropriate for the word "evil".

Placing his hand on the door, Nero pushed it open with a slight effort.

Behind the door is a spacious hall...Are there too many halls in this Demon King's Castle?

Unlike the previous hall, where there was only the angel cadre, there were countless people here.

Goblins, trolls, skeletons, gnolls, orcs, minotaurs... there are all kinds of monsters, and they are all wearing armor and holding weapons.

When Nero pushed the door open, the noise attracted all their attention, and then Nero discovered...

These guys are playing poker?

...Oh, by the way, he kept calling her "Angel Cadre", "Angel Cadre"... I seemed to have forgotten to ask that person's name?

He seemed to have introduced himself before, and then... then he was interrupted by Yu?

Moreover, the other party already knew Yu’s name, but Yu didn’t know his name… It felt a bit bad?

Nero suddenly lost his focus, and it was at this moment that the demon army in the hall gradually came back to their senses.

"Intruders appear!"

"I, I, I... I'm not ready yet!"

"Why did the invaders arrive here so quickly? Where's that sir?! Did he lose already?!"

"It's only been a short time since the invasion! Are the invaders this time so terrifying?!"

"Mom! I want to go home!"

The hall suddenly became noisy, and Nero frowned unhappily as his thoughts were interrupted by the noise.

Nero raised his foot and took a slow step forward... But the next moment, Nero appeared ten meters away, among a group of monsters.

"Primal Fire!"

Nero held the heavy sword in his hand, and the sword light floated like a silk thread.

The solo dance (hunting) begins!

The seemingly heavy sword was wielded by Nero as light as a feather. His bright red figure was as swift as a ghost, and wherever he walked, it seemed as if rose petals were falling.

"Intruder! Take my attack... Ugh!"

"Don't run! Ugh!"

"There she is! Behind you... Ugh!"
