Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 481 Mission: 04-6 A Horde of Beasts
After Nero conquered the tavern represented by the "bear," essentially confirming that the game didn't require a specific order for completing the stages, he then went to the nightclub represented by the "fox." Both places only required completing some simple mini-games and didn't pose much of a challenge for Nero.

Night falls, and the artificially controlled sun sets at the edge of the earth. In the miniature garden, this is the literal meaning.

At that moment, Nero was frowning at the entrance of the casino.

The reason they didn't go to the mine represented by the "wild boar" but instead came to the nightclub and this place first was naturally due to time constraints. As for the "casino," Nero believed this should be the treasure trove represented by the "wolf."

The greed and cruelty of wolves are the best illustration of the spirit represented by "casinos".

This level is probably the one Nero feels least confident about in the entire game, since luck is unpredictable. While she could cheat by using time stop or some other ability if all else fails... that seems a bit too risky.

It was already inappropriate for someone with her fully buffed and powerful abilities, approaching three digits, to appear in the lower levels—even a powerful being like White Demon sealed herself at four digits of strength before she could openly show herself. Given all this, it would be incredibly shameful for her to cheat in the game.

The dignity of the strong is weeping.

So Nero was now mentally preparing herself. After finishing her preparations, she walked into the casino lobby.

Then, a demon emerged from the shadows, looking thoughtfully at Nero as he entered the hall.

"Why does this look...somewhat familiar?"

"The leader of the Beasts, the avatar of the great demon Regien, whose strength is in the five-figure range, said in a low voice."

This information was also transmitted almost simultaneously to the person still at headquarters. As a demon originating from certain mental illnesses, its power lies in self-division and "possession by ghouls," and this power is the origin of the community's name.

Clearly, this creature, while lacking in aggression, is extremely troublesome. He can possess members of hostile communities to cause chaos and threaten them as hostages, or he can avoid being killed by constantly splitting himself apart. In fact, it could be said that in this lower realm, there is no such thing as a way to completely kill him.

Of course, to put it bluntly, he's a "god of the low-skill game." Against opponents of similar skill level, as long as they take precautions, he has virtually no chance of winning in a one-on-one match; at best, he can only manage a draw.

That is why he was on high alert regarding this mysterious community that had suddenly appeared.

Caution has been his greatest asset throughout his journey. Just like when he sensed things were going wrong and withdrew from [The 666 Beasts] immediately. This action allowed them to successfully inherit two plots of land belonging to [The 666 Beasts] without being affected by the subsequent legal troubles.

Reggie's current feeling was that he couldn't see through this guy named "Nero" at all. The shocking record in the arena was still lingering in his mind, causing a somewhat terrifying thought to rise up in his heart.

Could it be that this person is even far beyond his five-figure level?

That's... terrifying.

Suppressing his fear, Reggie followed them into his family's casino.

If all else fails, he should just give in sooner rather than later. He told himself secretly: That way, he might lose less money.

Time ticked by, and waves of gasps echoed through the casino. "...She's still winning!"

"This is too scary!"

Nero sat at the card table, a slight smile on his face.

She seems to be having pretty good luck today; she rarely loses even when playing randomly.

And she wasn't playing recklessly—she simply went all-in in games she was confident of winning after discovering her good luck. And clearly, as Virgil's daughter, she didn't suffer the same bad luck as Dante, whose seemingly sure-fire wins were always snatched away by the last remaining bet.

This composure sent a chill down Reggie's spine. He was almost certain that Nero possessed some kind of blessing that could increase his "luck"—in the Garden of Shadows, anything was possible.

But Reggie couldn’t even imagine how precious such an effective blessing would be. Was it a waste to use it to deal with a “minor character” like him?

However... well, five-digit numbers aren't exactly insignificant. Although the [Beasts of the Pack] are among the weakest in the five-digit group, they're still in the top 1% of the entire Little Garden.

But he still couldn't understand it. The [Beast of the Pack] had already been so low-key, how could it still be targeted by such a powerful being?

Do strong people have that much free time?
Legion watched Nero wreaking havoc. At this rate, she would soon obtain the fifth "Golden Seal".

Just then, the casino doors opened again. A blast of icy air sliced ​​through the crowd and blew into the sweltering hall.

The temperature in the hall seemed to drop several degrees instantly. Everyone turned to look at the entrance, where a man in a black trench coat walked in with a cold expression.

"Oh my god!"

Reggie practically choked himself to keep from screaming. He wasn't mistaken, he couldn't be. That face, that expression, those eyes, and that chilling murderous aura—it was all exactly the same as the "leader" he had only glimpsed from afar back then!
Although, in his eyes as a demon, the "scent" emanating from the two was quite different, they were so similar that even the demon wouldn't believe they had no connection at all!
He lowered his head, trying his best to avoid being noticed by the other person, while secretly making plans in his mind.

He remembered hearing that the Demon King of the 666 Beasts had descendants. As a Demon King with a power level of three digits, that lord's descendants should at least have a power level near the four digits. The 666 Beasts seemed to have once tried to find him and make him their next leader... but ultimately failed.

When Reggie first heard about this, he was regretting whether he had left too soon, but fortunately, subsequent events proved that he had not made a mistake.

If this person in front of me is a descendant of the Demon King... then why would he appear on my territory?
Reggie's doubts were quickly answered.

"Nero," the man said coldly, "what are you doing here?"

Upon hearing this, Reggie's vision went black.

How to do?
Is it too late for him to surrender now?
