Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 463 Mission: 01-4 A Beast Resembling a Dragon
During this time, Mondes did not sit idly by. Lightning and dark clouds covered the sky, and a terrifying magnetic field disrupted the surrounding "gravity"—the reason for the quotation marks is that the Demon Realm, as a world of negative energy and spiritual power, naturally does not strictly abide by the laws of physics. The surging gravity oppressed all creatures in the Demon Realm, and also dragged the red tide stirred up by Nero down to the earth.

Then more meteors fell. The sky of the Demon Realm, as if in the primordial chaos, was empty, devoid of any physical form. These meteors that suddenly appeared were new demons created by Mondes, each the size of a small mountain. This was one of his privileges as the King of the Demon Realm.

Virgil during Eurydice's time could also do something similar, using the power of the Demon Tree. Mondes was even stronger, able to perfectly control the power of the Demon Tree.

The burning, dark stars plunged into the red tide, instantly creating a colossal wave. The demons sucked the red poison, growing wildly until they stood firmly in the water, revealing their hideous forms.

They were a swarm of insect-like demons… or more accurately, they looked much like locusts. When they first landed, they were still burning black eggs, but after falling into the water, they quickly hatched and grew wildly, devouring the red tide dominated by Nero while becoming incredibly huge, almost comparable to the fully revived Demon Tree that Mr. Nero had seen.

"I hate bugs!"

Mr. Nero was about to shout.

For Mundes, shouting that meant he had done the right thing.

Faced with swarms of locusts, the six demons looked like six ants.

This is no exaggeration.

"When the fifth angel sounded his trumpet, I saw a star fall from the sky to the earth, and the key to the bottomless pit was given to it."

Nero casually recited a line of poetry, thus revealing the demon's name to the others.

“It opened a bottomless pit, and smoke rose from it like the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the sky were darkened by the smoke. Locusts came out of the smoke and flew to the ground, and authority was given to them as to the scorpions of the ground.”

Virgil chimed in, the one among them most knowledgeable about these documents. The locusts before them likely represented the first of the three "catastrophes" to arrive at the end of the world—the locust plague. Before that came thunder, loud noises, lightning, earthquakes, hail, blood and fire, red tides, bitter waters, and meteors.

Their name is "Abaddon," "the messenger of the bottomless pit."

The locusts' footsteps shook the earth. The red tide was swallowed up, and the demons, having completed their growth, naturally set their sights on the demons, their enemies.

Compared to these colossal demons, the weapons wielded by the demons were as insignificant as a hair on their own bodies. However, it was clear that size didn't represent everything. The power of the Spartan descendants far surpassed that of these crudely made "messengers."

One of them made the first move.

"Eeya-ho—"

The enormous blade, gleaming with light, dragged the blue figure with silver hair. Mr. Nero took the lead, transforming into a star streaking across the dim sky, striking the compound eye of a giant locust at near-light speed with terrifying kinetic energy.

"grumble--!!!"

Amidst a pitiful and piercing cry, the locust's eyes burst open, its body arched backward, and it collided with its companion.

"He clearly said he hates bugs, yet he still engages in this kind of close contact? This guy." Nero shook his head speechlessly, shaping the remaining red tide into a rushing river.

"The sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a voice coming from the four corners of the golden altar before God." Then she raised her scepter and commanded loudly, "Tell the sixth angel who was sounding the trumpet, 'Release the four angels who are bound to the Euphrates River.'"

The clone also appeared from behind her, its hands gripping the golden scepter filled with poison just like Nero's own, and said: "The four messengers were released; they had prepared to kill a third of the people on a certain day of a certain month of a certain year."

In an instant, the flowing crimson poisonous river split into four streams, each taking on a different form. These streams transformed into different armies, launching a counterattack against the locust army.

This is the second great calamity, the calamity of demons.

Dante and Virgil had already charged towards the demon Abaddon, their crimson sword energy capable of sweeping away mountains and rivers and their gleaming blade light capable of tearing apart the heavens and earth crisscrossing and sweeping forward like a storm. Wherever the storm passed, the demon's body collapsed like building blocks.

The fallen Abaddon was then swallowed up by Nero's Red Tide army, and the absorbed power returned to the Red Tide, making it stronger once again.

So it's clear that Mondes is about to make another move.

A sound like thunder, or a roar, echoed from afar, and violent tremors ripped through the earth. Abysses were torn open from the ground, swallowing Nero's crimson tide and disappearing from sight.

The terrible tremor made Nero lose his footing, but the enormous Abaddon remained unaffected. Bright lightning, accompanied by flames, illuminated the abyss, from which pure white mist rose, transforming into icicles that hung from the top of the crack.

Before Nero's eyes, the cracks spread rapidly. They soon joined together, forming a second bottomless pit in the ground—the first being the ruins of the temple occupied by Mondes, who was also the mastermind behind the demons.

Under its control, the locust demons "Abaddon" suddenly jumped into the bottomless pit, engulfed by lightning and flames, and emitted a pungent plume of smoke.

Nero realized what that guy was planning to do.

Just like before, the Book of Revelation, as one of the most well-known doomsday prophecies, and the original source of the name "Beast of 666," naturally gravitates towards the description of the "ultimate trial for mankind" that the dystopian demon king Mondes would want to be. Even Nero has a similar instinct.

That's why the attack and defense between the two sides just now were based on the disasters described therein.

And what Mondes needs to do now is...

Another Abaddon demon leaped into the pit. Their powers merged under Monds's control, and then a jet-black claw emerged from it.

Mondes is about to create a demon of unprecedented power.

It will be Mondes's final messenger, carrying the power to fight for Mondes and the others, who have already suffered two defeats.

Nero spoke softly of what had happened: “Then I saw another beast coming up out of the ground. It had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon.”

That's right, this is the enemy created by Mondes.

A powerful, enormous, arrogant "dragon-like beast".
