Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 127 Mission: 06-6 Snake Snake Venom
When Nero followed Mana and arrived near the "door" leading to another world, another group of people had already been waiting there for a long time.

Deng, Aine, Riki, and Souyo—none of them were present. At this moment, facing the crimson moonlight pouring out from the depths of the streets and the countless demons, Chihaya Aine sealed the entire area within her barrier to prevent the threat from spreading.

Mana, distraught and lifeless, was isolated by the barrier. This did not stop Nero, but Nero did not want to break the barrier, so he simply stabbed the Yama Blade into the glowing barrier, tearing a small hole.

After she slipped through the crack and entered the barrier, it quickly closed. Nero had completed his transformation in the blink of an eye, donning a tuxedo and becoming "Samael."

"Hey, you guy, can you just watch from the side?!"

As soon as she entered the barrier, Nero heard an angry complaint, which was quite a unique welcome. She looked over there and immediately saw the person who made the complaint.

It was Shiina Riki. She drew her bow while glaring at Chihaya Aine, who was standing not far ahead, and shouted, "Do you know that those barriers you've randomly set up are blocking all my attack angles?!"

Aine obviously didn't dare to refute, and only shrank her neck slightly. However, Shuangshi, holding two swords, withdrew from the front line, paused, and said to smooth things over: "Okay, Li Xi, Aine is a newbie after all, give her some time."

Hearing someone's support, Aiyin just raised her head with a look of gratitude, but was scolded by Li Xi again: "Isn't a week enough? I've reminded her so many times to pay attention to the position of me and Deng when she moves, and has she changed at all?!"

"Lixi..."

The lantern floating in the sky made a sound. Because of Riki's attack, Aine had withdrawn her barrier, and Souyo had withdrawn from close combat. Now, the only one holding back the demons was the lantern, and she was beginning to feel the pressure.

"Sorry, Lantern. I'll be right there."

Only Deng, who had always worked well with Lixi, was not affected by the wrath. However, as both were long-range attackers, their coordination was unlikely to go awry.

Li Xi drew his longbow and pierced several demons with one arrow. In the next attack, he switched to scattering and shot nine short arrows at once, sweeping down the nearest ones. Then, without saying a word, he began to charge a poisonous swamp arrow.

These demons were weak, even weaker than the training targets Little Ace had found for them a few days ago. However, everyone present knew that the appearance of these demons in the form of puppets and shadows meant that this time, it was "their" appearance.

Now, it's just an appetizer.

Having just been reprimanded, Aine forced herself to brace herself, preparing to deploy her barrier once more to block the enemy. However, Riki hadn't said a word when he drew his bow, so she could only assume it was another straight-line attack. To protect Souyo, Aine once again cut off the demons, leaving a window of opportunity for attack in the direction Riki pointed.

Unfortunately, Lixi's attack this time was not a straight-line piercing attack, but a large-scale poisonous swamp. This window was not large enough for Lixi's attack to pass through. So naturally, Lixi exploded again.

"Don't you understand what people are saying?!"

Li Xi put down the bow in her hand and walked towards Ai Yin in a rage. She grabbed Ai Yin's shoulders and made her turn to face her, and pushed her twice, demanding, "Didn't I tell you to just stand aside and watch?!" "But..."

Aine subconsciously wanted to retort. If she was just a tool used to set up a barrier to prevent the enemy from escaping, then were they still a team? She wanted to say that, but Riki didn't want to give her a chance to refute and pushed her away again: "No buts! You—"

"I think some people just can't speak human language at all."

A figure was sitting on the windowsill not far away, interrupting their argument with a sound.

The sarcastic tone added fuel to the fire of Li Xi, who was already furious. Li Xi raised his bow and pointed it at her without hesitation: "Get out!"

The figure sitting on the windowsill—Nero certainly wasn't afraid of Lixi's threats. She took off her hat and twirled it between her fingers, then casually joked, "Ouch? What language is that for 'hello'? I don't think I understand."

This joke, combined with the previous ridicule, was brought out by Nero in a leisurely manner: "Miss, are you speaking human language?"

Li Xi, enraged, unleashed her attack. Indeed, in her opinion, this was within the barrier, and anyone who appeared at this time was naturally related to the devil. Even if they were attacked, they couldn't complain.

Shuangshi felt that Lixi had gone too far and was about to speak up to stop him, but Nero interrupted him. Shuangshi was just watching from the sidelines, but he never expected that Lixi would actually dare to take action. He couldn't help but screamed, "Lixi! What are you doing?!"

Nero casually flung out a faint blue afterglow, shattering the purple poison arrow. She leaped from the windowsill, tapping the ground with her cane. She appeared fully formed before them. "Hello again, everyone. Do you want me to introduce myself?"

Aside from the one time in the Red Moon World, Samael had also met Aine, Riki, and Soshi once. However, he hadn't introduced himself to Soshi, hence the question.

"Samael, right?" Shuangshi called out Nero's pseudonym, indicating that she knew it. Then, she bowed her head slightly and said, "I apologize for my disrespect to my friend, but as you can see, there are still many enemies here. Let's talk later."

Then she turned around and started fighting the demons again.

Aiyin looked at Nero with gratitude for helping her out of trouble, but she didn't say anything. She also used the barrier to support Shuangshi again.

Li Xi, however, saw Nero's expression clearly, and her bowhand trembled slightly, clearly remembering the reprimand she received for her previous rude remarks. However, her stubbornness ultimately outweighed her fear, and she refused to yield. Instead, she continued to aim at Nero, her bowhand trembling.

Seeing Lixi's expression, Nero couldn't help but sneer: "Are you a little shortsighted? The enemy is not here."

"..." Li Xi was silent for a moment, the bowstring in his hand loosened slightly, but he still didn't let go: "Who are you?"
