Traveler, High School Student, Homeless

Realizing that the opponent is supposed to be some powerful demon, Kamijou Touma prepares himself for battle.

"The Dragon Demon Emperor we follow is a benevolent king who can truly lead demons to a better future. The difference in identity between demons and humans is not important at all. The strength he possesses and the great mind he possesses have already Prove that he is worthy of all demons to follow!"

Unlike Kamijou Touma's reaction, Cerberus let out a ferocious growl as if offended at this moment, and refuted without hesitation.

By the way, can you stop mentioning the title of Devil Emperor of the Dragon, it sounds really shameful, okay?

Kamijou Touma cried out from the bottom of his heart.

[Devil Emperor?Ridiculous, there is only one emperor of the demon world from beginning to end, and that is me, Mondes! 】

The phantom figure roared out a deafening sound at this moment.

The turbulent magic power flowed at this moment, sweeping out like a vast ocean, and in the blink of an eye, the entire huge cavern was vaporized in a large area, exposing a larger void.

Cerberus roared without the slightest fear, the ice gathered and erupted from her mouth, the cold aura forcefully charged at the enemy in front of her, but was easily crushed and disintegrated.Cerberus, whose face changed drastically, did not expect that the opponent's power would be so strong that even a phantom far surpassed the power of the demon lord.The next moment, those turbulent waves of magic power shattered Cerberus' attack and swept towards her directly.

hum-

Kamijou Touma took a step forward, smashing the tide with a single punch.

"I don't care about who is the devil emperor at all. I'm just an ordinary high school student who happens to be uncomfortable with some things, so I come out to meddle in my own business."

Kamijou Touma shook his numb right hand, looked at the phantom figure ahead with an indifferent expression and said.

"Yes, my lord fought to regain the fate and right of existence of the demons, and took over the crown. His greatness is beyond the comprehension of a guy like you. And Mendes has long been defeated by the Son of Sparta. Defeated by Dante, what kind of thing are you to dare to use phantoms to pretend to be the previous devil emperor?"

To Kamijou Touma's surprise, Cerberus seems to have a talent for pissing people off.

[Is the current lord of the three-headed dog already so arrogant? 】

In the cold voice, the phantom is gradually dissipating.

"Are you planning to run away?"

Cerberus said viciously.

【My strength has not yet fully recovered. I wanted to see who the so-called Demon Emperor of the Dragon is. Hmph, although the aura is only a weak human being, the strange power on the right hand is indeed somewhat special. It still takes some time and energy for me to kill you now, it’s not worth it】

In the gradually dissipating phantom, the voice that claimed to be Mendes was still extremely arrogant.

[Countless universes are fused together. There are so many planets densely covered in the solar system alone, and no one can touch the more distant places. This brand new world will be ruled by me. I, this fusion of countless Mondes of a world of possibility to rule.Whether it’s those abominable sons of Sparta or the so-called Star Alliance, these obstacles will be completely smashed by me in the end. Until then, enjoy the rest of your days to the fullest]

Finally, at the moment when the phantom was about to dissipate, violent magic power was released from the direction of the phantom.

Kamijou Toumata took a step forward, and the dragon's wings spread behind him.Flying into the air suddenly, he stretched out his right hand, resisting this berserk attack with sharp bangs.The already dilapidated cave in the tearing storm became even more fragmented, and after the attack was over, the phantom had disappeared without a trace.

After such a big deal, in the end, he just tried two moves tentatively and then ran away.

Falling back to the ground, the boy complained in his heart about the cautious style of the guy who claimed to be the devil emperor, and when he turned around, he saw Cerberus with a somewhat depressed expression.

"I'm very sorry, my lord, I'm so useless, I didn't use it at all just now."

Her own attack was dispelled as if playing around, and Kamijou Touma had to act personally to force the opponent back, which made the three-headed dog lady very shocked.

"It's not a big deal. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. After all, without Miss Cerberus, I guess it would be difficult for me to get here smoothly. Alright, alright, don't worry too much, then The journey down depends on you."

Reaching out his hand, Kamijou Touma patted the girl's head and said with a smile.

Ah, I subconsciously treated the other party as a child.

After touching his head, Kamijou Touma realized that his behavior just now might have been a little too intimate.

"My lord, are we really useful? Will it not hold you back?"

But Cerberus obviously didn't notice this aspect, and just looked at Kamijou Touma pitifully.As a demon lord who prided herself on her powerful strength, she obviously couldn't get out of the depression that her power was completely suppressed for a while.

"Yeah, there's no problem at all, just keep working hard with peace of mind."

In this regard, Kamijou Touma imitated Jiang Ming's usual movements, and said seriously with a thumbs up.

hum-

In the distance, something sounded from a little above.

It sounded like someone was fighting, roaring and resounding, continuously impacting.

Then, the top of the cave suddenly collapsed, and a huge centipede-like demon fell down, and the purple poisonous mist was released everywhere in an instant.

And following closely behind, and falling from above, was Nero, who was panting heavily and obviously had several wounds on his body. He gripped the burning sword tightly and walked out of the rubble pile step by step. Face the gigantic demon in front of you.

"Next is the second round, Fucking asshole!!!"

Amidst the yelling, Nero jumped up high as if venting something, and slashed forward with the big sword heavily.

Chapter 220: Mission 08 - Proof of Determination

"Ha ha……"

On the sword of the Scarlet Queen, blood dripped down bit by bit.

In the dilapidated caverns that were battered by successive attacks, the dead demons fell to the ground, emitting a purple mist.And Nero was sitting in the pool of blood of these demons, a little embarrassed, and his white hair was also dyed a lot of red, sitting on the ground, unable to stand up because of exhaustion.Just a few minutes ago, he had been fighting with these difficult demons for quite a long time, and even the cave passages along the way were collapsed and exploded.

"Damn it, how can these guys be so strong?"

Cursing in a low voice, Nero supported his body with his sword, barely stood up, but then half-kneeled on the ground because of lack of strength.

The pool of blood on the ground reflected Nero's dirty face at this moment.

Slightly, I recalled my past.

The face reflected in the blood water made waves in the dripping blood and sweat mixture, and became Nero's appearance when he was young.

His father knew nothing of his existence, and his mother abandoned him, never to appear again.

As an orphan in his childhood, his white hair made him a natural alien, and his excessive strength made other children around him instinctively fear and stay away from him.He grew up lonely in the orphanage since he was a child, and he became weird and irritable, but this is also a helpless thing. After all, for children who cannot appreciate the warmth of the family, only when they become fierce can they build a protective net for themselves. Only then can we live a little bit more easily.

Then, on that day, when a kind couple came to the orphanage to do volunteer work, they met Nero by chance.

In this way, Nero had a serious brother and a gentle and kind sister.

"Go on, stand up! Damn, I can't stop here!"

Gritting his teeth, Nero let out a roar, supported his body abruptly and then stood up, stepping forward step by step.

What was the reason why I first embarked on the path of a demon hunter?

It is to prevent the tragedy from happening again.

That's right, he remembered very clearly, he always remembered very clearly, the couple who adopted him and gave him the warmth of a real family died due to the attack of demons.Ji Liye, who was one year older than him, wept weakly on that day, and as the elder brother, no matter how hard he tried to hold back the tears, he couldn't bear the sadness in his eyes.

It was to prevent such a tragic tragedy from happening again, and to protect these people, he took up the sword and gun.

Because of knowing these powerless tragedies, I am determined to become a strong man, and become the guardian who can bring peace of mind to others.

Therefore, I must not retreat, I must not give up, and I must not accept my own weakness.

"Drink!"

In the torn sword light, Nero cut a screaming demon in two.

The burst of purple poisonous mist seemed to tear his body apart completely, but he roared and became stronger and stronger, the blue magic power and the red flames were constantly intertwined, one demon after another fell, and was chopped into pieces and strangled in the wailing. Rotten and burnt.The raging magic power was continuously released and released. At this moment, Nero continued to move forward like a fierce god, and no demon could stop him.

Yes, he remembered, he always remembered.

Boom!

Panting with gritted teeth, Nero, who was hit by a huge demon and flew backwards, fell into the rubble and was slightly lost in thought.

Credo and Ji Liye, who have no blood relationship with themselves, the former pursued justice after growing up, and joined the Demon Sword Order to wield a sword for protection. The latter is as gentle and kind as ever, and his relationship with him is gradually getting closer Recently, the relationship between the two people has gradually become closer, and finally became a pair of lovers.

But what no one thought was that the so-called Demon Sword Cult is essentially a cult-like existence. In the end, the leader used the power of demons to create an extremely powerful evil creation [Savior], and Credo died in order to save Nero. Under the sword of the leader.Even though Nero finally got his revenge and ended everything, the people who had passed away could never be brought back.

That should be the moment when you tasted powerlessness for the first time, right?

Boom!

Purple sharp claws fell from the sky, and Nero, who was lying in the gravel pit, stood up suddenly, dodging the demon's attack, and the Crimson Queen in his hand suddenly slashed out. The several-ton demon flew out from afar.

"Come on, keep fighting, you bastards."

Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, and he inhaled the purple poisonous mist for a long time. Although the body of the devil can bring strong recovery, Nero still became more or less tired.The internal injuries were slowly accumulating, but there were still demons emerging from the surroundings in front of him.

But even so-

Buzz! ! !

The rotating great sword danced again, tearing apart the surrounding demons.

The mechanical arm of the right hand deformed at this moment, bursting out a terrifying laser cannon, smashing the huge demon in the distance who wanted to stand up.

The demon holding a huge blade rushed forward roaring, Nero threw the big sword out and pierced one of them, and the blue rose was pulled out from his hand, and suddenly fired from the accumulated magic power, three "bang bang" explosions In the sound, the bodies of several demons exploded directly, and blood bloomed in mid-air like flowers.

The next moment, the mechanical arm of Nero's right arm shattered and disappeared, and instantly turned into another spiral arm.Nero, who stretched out this arm forward, shot out a thin thread, which directly entangled the Scarlet Queen who had pierced the demon, pulled the blade back with the demon, and followed Nero directly. He kicked over the dying demon, stomped on its chest, and crushed it to death with the sound of bones breaking.

"Ha ha……"

Dragging the big sword in his hand, Nero stepped forward step by step to meet the roaring demon rushing forward.

What I want to do has always been very simple.

Protect those who are important to you, and protect those who are powerless to protect themselves.He never swung his sword for any other reason.The original intention of fighting is just to protect, it has always been like this and has not changed.

That's why he longs for power and desires to gain more power.

"People without power can't protect anything, I've always understood..."

While muttering to himself, Nero rushed towards the group of demons in front of him.

boom -

Amidst the violent cracking sound, the ground suddenly collapsed at this moment.

A centipede-like throttling demon rushed out of the ground at this moment. The head with numerous fangs and mouths was like an extremely large sarcoma, and the joints supporting the body were like countless human hands fused with each other. .

【Eat it!eat it!eat it! 】

The mouths growing on the tumor were roaring loudly.

"Ha, do you want to block my way? Then give it to me - die!!!"

The blue magic power exploded in an instant, and Nero, who turned into a demon in the manic airflow, leaped high and fell on the body of this huge demon like a meteor.

boom! ! !

At this moment, the ground was knocked down by a huge force.
