I don't want to be a heroic spirit

"So... so scary! Someone come and save me!"

"Run!"

"Mom! I want to go home!"

The roars, cries for help, and wails came one after another, intermittently.

A sword fell, bringing up a large amount of blood.

A sword slashed down, and a raging fire surged.

These are just miscellaneous soldiers, and Nero can kill several of them with a casual sword.

But this is only for Nero... After all, this is the Demon King's Castle, and the monsters are stronger than those outside.

Even if the demon sword hero Yujian Xiangye came, it would not be good if he was surrounded by these miscellaneous soldiers. If it was Kazuma here, it was basically certain that he would report to Eris.

At this time, a rather majestic female voice sounded not far away.

"Don't panic! There is only one enemy! Surround her! Don't let her leave!"

Nero's eyes condensed.

Because she found that... after the woman spoke, the restlessness around her disappeared.

The soldiers around were no longer afraid of her. Some of those who had run to the periphery picked up their weapons again and surrounded this side without saying a word.

Something is wrong...

Chapter 353 Shortcut

The chandelier hanging above the head emitted a faint light, becoming the only light source in this dim hall.

Nero was surrounded by a group of monsters and looked up at the woman who had spoken before.

The other party stood at the exit, with long black hair to her shoulders, a teardrop mole under her left eye, wearing a very religious white dress and a white cloak, looking like a priest serving a certain god.

There is no doubt that this is a...

"Beautiful girl!"

Nero's eyes sparkled with stars.

Especially the teardrop mole... made it more attractive.

"Hmm... It's a pity that she is from the demon side, an enemy, otherwise I can be intimate with this beautiful girl who is particularly suitable for me... I like to be intimate with beautiful girls the most!"

Nero sighed, feeling regretful in his heart.

Nero's voice was not small, so the priestess not far away could naturally hear it.

The priestess seemed dumbfounded. In the battle, she was suddenly praised by the enemy as a beautiful girl or something...

"It's not impossible."

Nero looked up and saw the priestess smiling and saying to him: "As long as you join us, join the Demon Sect, can't you be with me?"

Now it was Nero's turn to be stunned.

"Hmm! Your suggestion is indeed very tempting." Nero nodded in agreement, and then changed his tone, "But why didn't you come to me! In terms of charm, I am confident that I am not inferior to anyone!"

"Don't you think this is a bit unfair?"

The charming smile on the priestess's face changed, and there was a little impatience in her tone.

"Okay, let's stop joking. Even if you really want me to join you, you should at least show that you have enough strength first, right?"

She raised her lips, "If you die here because of weakness, it will be useless even if I agree to join you, right?"

"Hmm...you are right."

In the dim environment, pairs of scarlet eyes stared at Nero, and the demon warriors who forgot their fear were looking forward to tearing the beautiful figure to pieces.

As the priestess waved her arms, her loud voice echoed in the hall.

"Go, tear her to pieces."

The next moment, the solemn atmosphere was shattered by the murderous intent.

Everyone's shouts were highly unified at this moment.

"For Lady Celestina!"

It seems that the priestess is called Celestina.

Nero thought so silently in his heart, but his hands did not slow down at all.

The black-red sword, taller than her, was as light as a branch in her hand. The extremely fast slashing that was beyond the ability of the naked eye to distinguish was interwoven into a deadly magic net around her.

Nero's figure jumped out of the encirclement, and the next moment, some of the monsters broke apart.

Blood spurted out, and the pieces of meat fell to the ground.

It was a very shocking scene, but the monsters around him ignored it and followed Nero's figure closely.

Their eyes were still scarlet, and there was not much rationality in them.

There was only murderous intent against Nero and worship of Celestina.

"Kill her!"

"Kill her!"

"For Lady Celestina!"

"Long live Lady Celestina!"

Looking at these monsters like fanatics, Nero's expression became a little complicated.

"Are all people who have a connection with religion like this?"

Nero thought of the Axis believers in this world again... and on the way to the Demon King's City, Nero also passed through the headquarters of the Axis religion, Alcanretia, and inevitably had some dealings with those lunatics.

"... Tsk."

Nero showed a disgusted expression as if he recalled some bad memories.

The sword blade drew a semicircle in front of him, and the next moment, a two-meter-high wall of fire blocked the monsters.

However, a surprising scene appeared. Those monsters seemed to have not seen the wall of fire at all, and resolutely stepped over.

Weak monsters like goblins, skeleton soldiers, and dog-headed men would burn to ashes the moment they touched the flames. Only a very small number of trolls barely crossed the wall of fire after paying the price of being burned all over.

Nero frowned slightly as he casually slashed out a ray of sword light to kill a seriously injured and dying troll.

"Yu is almost fed up..."

Because there was only a wall of fire in front of Nero, some monsters began to try to bypass the wall of fire and attack Nero from other angles.

But Nero no longer wanted to play.

Seeing Nero's figure again, the monsters that had bypassed the wall of fire became extremely violent and rushed towards Nero with weapons raised without any hesitation.

The red dress as bright as a rose danced in the wind, and Nero slowly raised his foot... and then stepped down hard.

"Bang!"

Huge force surged into the earth, leaving traces of cracks all over the ground.

Countless fragments of masonry were violently shaken, and the monsters were also blown away by the violence and became dizzy.

Time seems to be stretched infinitely.

Four seconds.

Only four seconds passed.

It was such a short period of time from when the ground was crushed by Nero to when all the rubble and monsters were blown into the air and fell.

Nearly five hundred monsters were all killed.

Celestina's pupils tightened and she stared blankly at Nero who came to her with a sword.

Behind Nero, blood, broken bones and broken limbs painted a picture of hell.

Especially with the faint light above the head, the atmosphere suddenly rises.

Although they were just a group of miscellaneous soldiers, Nero was able to deal with them so quickly that Celestina only felt shuddering.

Especially when Nero came over, she was so scared that her legs went weak.

Coming to stand in front of Celestina, Nero opened his mouth.

"You..."

"Sir! I am willing to surrender!"

As soon as Nero uttered a word, Celestina immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

Kneeling is a standard.

Celestina shouted with uncontrollable crying: "Sir! Master brave! Save my life! I, I, I... I am willing to join you! I... I can also take you to fight the Demon King! Please Don't kill me!"

Nero did not expect that the other party would surrender so quickly.

"Hmm! You seem to have a high status in the Demon King, right? Is it really okay to betray the Demon King like this?"

"No problem at all! Anyway, the relationship between me and the Demon King is just a purely transactional relationship. The Demon King promised me to preach in the demon cave, and I will help the Demon King command the battle... As long as you, brave man, are willing to spare my life, I, I, I... …I can take you to a shortcut that leads directly to the room where the Demon King is!”

Celestina said that the room where the Demon King was located was on the top floor, and it would be very laborious to hit it directly.

However, Celestina seems to know a shortcut that can directly reach the top. This shortcut was created to facilitate the officials to report tasks to the Demon King.

Nero touched his chin, thought for a moment and nodded.

"Okay, take Yu there."

Chapter 354 Disguise

"Is this the shortcut you're talking about?"

"Yes! That's it."

Celestina was very serious when she spoke, and her words were full of confidence.

But... Nero thinks this thing is unreliable no matter how it looks.

A red button with a note saying "Don't press" attached to it.

...This suspicious aura is almost overflowing.

"Lord Brave! I definitely didn't lie to you, and I definitely don't dare to lie to you!"

Celestina raised her hands to the sky in a gesture of surrender, as if she was afraid that Nero would suspect her and cut her down and said in a panic: "There is a magic circle behind this button for teleportation, although there is no way to directly reach the room where the Demon King is. , but you can reach the same floor, so you don’t have to conquer the floor, Lord Brave.”

In fact, Nero didn't really want to build it up layer by layer.

Not to mention the energy spent, it is also a waste of time.

If it takes too long to defeat the Demon King, Alice, Yunyu and the others might be very worried about them... and it is possible that they would know that they have arrived at the Demon King's Castle through some clues and chase after them.

And...it doesn't matter even if it's a trap.

Nero has sufficient self-confidence and can face any kind of trap calmly.

Moreover, this Demon King's Castle is so complex, wouldn't it be too inconvenient if you have to walk through a maze-like passage every time you go upstairs?

And the teleportation button that Celestina mentioned... probably has the same effect as the elevator, right?

"Okay, then I'll just trust you once."

Nero raised his hand and pressed the button with his green fingers.

The scene in front of me changed.

The place where Nero and Celestina were before was an aisle, and the button was in a very inconspicuous corner.

Then, after Nero pressed the button, she found her location transformed into a small, dark, dank room.

A place without any lighting is like a ghost appearing at any time.

"...No, I am a heroic spirit, and my status is higher than that of ghosts? It seems that I don't need to be afraid of those ordinary ghosts?"

Nero touched his smooth chin, thoughtfully.
