Nero was very depressed, and what had happened in recent times was simply more complicated than anything that Nero had experienced in the past. As a member of the Knights, Nero avoided Nero because of his unruly personality, except for the head of the Knights, Cledo, who was friendly with Nero and often took care of Nero's life.

Therefore, when Nero went on a mission, he did it alone, and rarely acted in conjunction with others. Tasks given to individuals are usually the dark side of the church, that is, the secret tasks that make people feel dirty and dangerous, or that cannot be known to others.

And Nero's natural strength far beyond ordinary humans allowed him to save himself from danger again and again, and almost returned unscathed in each mission. And with such otherworldly strength, even the Knights' standard mechanical knight sword, the mass-produced jet-powered single-edged knight sword named after King Arthur's holy sword, Caliburn, could not withstand Nero's power, so Nero still had his own independent sword-wielding knights.

And Nero is also different from the ordinary members of the Knights, following the doctrine of only using the sword as his own weapon, but with the unique combat method formed by the double-barreled revolver Blue Rose that he researched and modified to fight against the demons. Even if he was condemned by other church members and violated the teachings of the so-called Demon Sword Church, it was nothing more than an annoying ear to Nero.

Nero, who is dozens of steps beyond ordinary people, unconventional and disrespectful of doctrines, is undoubtedly a monster among monsters in the eyes of ordinary people, even if it is to not want to see Nero's thoughts again, the members of the Knights have to give Nero a task that dozens of knights with a lot of training cannot complete.

It is a pity for them. Nero always did the opposite of what they envisioned to die, not just solving the goal of the mission that even the members of the Order found difficult or even impossible. You can also find traces of their more or less manipulation, and return to the Order to beat up the knights who dare to calculate themselves.

After repeating it countless times. Few knights dared to continue to stumble Nero under the pressure of the head of the Knights, and the usual rejection was completely ignored by Nero. It's just that a recent mission made these knights feel a lot more happy in their hearts. Nero, who was almost never injured, was wounded in the right hand by a demon, and the weapon Nero was using was damaged by the excessive use of the jet.

For Nero, though, it was a good experience. Although he was a little unwell, during the injury, he and his childhood sweetheart, the sister of the head of the Knights, Jiliet, would take good care of Nero. If the normal process continues, the relationship between the two will continue to deepen during the injury. In the end, it may be a good story.

However, after Nero met on the street a few days ago a man who looked almost the same as himself, but the sense of time exuded from his face was a little longer than his own, things went beyond Nero's imagination. The moment the demon wounded his forearm, his right hand, began to meet the man, causing Nero to feel a stream of heat from within, constantly transforming his arm.

I originally planned to go to the doctor of the Knights to see what was wrong with my arm, but what I didn't expect was that the next morning, Nero, who felt the abnormality of my arm and opened the bandage to check it, was suddenly stunned by the abnormal changes in his arm.

It was covered with scales that were far harder than steel, and the inside of the arm flowed with a blue-white glow. Twisted and strange textures spread across the entire forearm, almost identical to those of the Knights' number one enemy, the Demon.

With a few movements of the mutant arm, Nero experimented on the arm without anyone noticing. The strange fingers that can easily crush even the creatures of steel, and the scale armor that is not damaged in the slightest with the sharp knife. and the magic hand formed by releasing the energy in the arm according to his own thoughts, all indicate that Nero's right hand is already the flesh of the devil.

Although they are not too worried that the people of the Knights will come to hunt down and kill themselves who have not yet been exposed, according to the thoughts of those jealous knights, if they really find that Nero's arm has mutated into a demon-like organization. It will definitely be attacked by the Knights.

Although Nero didn't know the true face behind the Demon Sword Church, he was exposed to all kinds of abnormal phenomena from his childhood. And in the tasks assigned to him, Nero can still judge. The entire Demon Sword Church is actually a behemoth that even the state would not dare to provoke.

It is only by relying on individual strength, even with this seemingly strong arm, that it is impossible to win the encirclement and suppression carried out by the organized troops.

After considering his own situation, Nero chose to delay the time for the time being, if he could not avoid the final battle with the Demon Sword Church, at least, he should cherish this last time of peace. With the intention of enjoying his last moments, Nero spent almost all of his savings to buy a pure gold chain in the shape of an angel for Kirilyet, and decided to find an opportunity to express his heart to Gilliette and give the necklace to the other party.

And the right time soon came, and at the prayer meeting held by the Demon Sword Church, Nero, who had dealt with the surrounding demons, arrived in time before the prayer meeting ended. Finding where Kilieth was and sitting down, Nero personally handed the gift containing his heart to Kiliet.

It's just that the old man of the Pope standing in the center of the church has always been the object of Nero's disgust, nagging and not talking, and always making Nero feel like he wants to sleep. Especially when the two of them silently conveyed their love, the sound of the Pope babbling about the history of the Church of the Demon Sword made Nero want to take off the headphones around his neck and slap them directly on the Pope's face.

'How can there be such a beautiful old man!! ’

At the moment when everyone closed their eyes and prayed, the whole church fell into a state of silence for a moment. Unable to stand the contrast, Nero decided to leave the church for a while, avoiding the service that annoyed him. Unexpectedly, when he first took a step, his arms, no, even his body were telling himself that there was something that resonated with him, and he was approaching here.

The next moment, the glass on the top of the church was shattered by two figures, Nero did not know it, but the two of them, who felt affection from the heart, fell in front of the shocked pope.

The silver-haired man in a fiery red coat raised a pistol whiter than ivory and pressed it against the pope's forehead, looking at the pope with the same look as Nero's, as he was about to fall asleep.

"Seriously, old man, your speech just now is really sleepy!"

The mysterious man said something that Nero felt the same way, and pulled the trigger of the white pistol. A crisp gunshot rang out, and the leader of the Demon Sword Church was bleeding from his forehead, and he slowly fell backwards with his eyes wide open.

Immediately, before the Pope's body hit the ground, a translucent long sword pierced through the Pope's abdomen, knocking the Pope's body flying and firmly nailing it to the hard marble floor.

At this time, the crowd, who had recovered from their surprise and disbelief, began to flee in a panic, and the members of the Order, realizing that the situation was wrong, surrounded the two who suddenly appeared, and tried to kill the Pope's murderer.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Nero slowly retreated, blocking Kiliet's body behind him, his eyes fixed on the center of the church, where a great battle was about to take place...... (To be continued......)
