'Hoo' Nero looked at the figure on the stone statue whose hands and head finally drooped feebly. As if he had exhausted all his strength, he exhaled the turbid air he had been holding in his chest. However, just as Nero turned around and was about to leave the theater

, when he let others handle the funeral affairs, the sudden teasing tone from behind made his spine instantly run cold.

"What a good attack, it really hurts." Nero's pupils dilated instantly, and his brain seemed to be unable to react, and he turned his head towards the source of the sound like a robot's stiff movements.

The black swordsman slowly raised his head, rubbed his hands against the stone statue behind him, pulled out the sword from the stone statue, and the black figure also fell to the ground. "It really surprised me, or maybe it should

Said...I underestimated your strength...and...that right hand." Kirito didn't mind at all that his beloved sword was still stuck on his chest, he said in a surprised tone, and then reached out to touch the hilt of the sword on his chest.

, gritted his teeth and pulled it out suddenly, the heartbreaking pain made him frown.

As if going back in time, the blood hole in his chest that was pierced by the sword healed when the sword was pulled out. Even the blood was completely absorbed by the blood hole. The shocking recovery ability made Nero's look...

He instantly became extremely ugly and said in disbelief: "You are not a human being?!"

"Sa..." Kirito did not answer Nero's question immediately, but looked at him and said, "You are not considered a human being, just like these people." As he said that, Kirito pointed to the figure on the ground,

That was the body of the guard who had just been killed by him.

Nero looked over subconsciously, and his face instantly became ugly. The hood he was wearing fell down at some point, revealing the black and thin skull-like head inside. The devil will reveal its true face when it dies. This is

The unchanging truth.

"...These people...eh!?" Nero found that the black figure that should have been in front of him was sitting on the edge of the ceiling that he had broken at the beginning.

"Goodbye by chance, kid, ah, no, you seem to be older than me." After Kirito said that, he stood up and left Zenith, out of Nero's sight.

"Wait! You seem to know a lot of things, tell me everything you know." Nero shouted, but after waiting for a few seconds, the black figure did not appear. He couldn't help but feel annoyed and vented.

A shot was fired in the direction where Kirito left, and the roar of the double-barreled revolver being ejected was particularly harsh in the silent opera house.

"Oh, by the way..." The head suddenly popped up from the top of the sky, almost frightening Nero to death.

"I'll give you a suggestion. Pick up the gift you are planning to give to your future girlfriend on the ground over there, and give it to her in front of her. This will increase her favorability towards you. As a man,

If you have to take the initiative, what's the point of being arrogant all day long?" After Kirito finished speaking, he left Nero with a charming smile and then immediately looked back and left, leaving behind the slow man who had not yet reacted in the opera house.

"You...you guy, wait for me! I will definitely open a hole in your body!" No matter how stupid Nero was, he could still understand the meaning of Kirito's words, and couldn't help waving the gun in his hand with his face flushed.

Azure Rose yelled, and at the same time, his body moved subconsciously, and his eyes looked around, like a pickpocket looking for prey at a bus stop. In the end, his gaze landed on a bench that had fallen to the ground.

, to be precise, it was on the long gift box under the bench. The dents on the gift box should be traces of being stepped on by the confused crowd.

Kirito, who was jumping on the building, suddenly frowned and touched his chest, muttering to himself: "If the sword had deviated a little to the left, it might have penetrated my heart." The thought of losing his heart

Kirito suddenly felt a shiver run through his body at the possible consequences.

The heart is the only part of Kirito's body that has not been affected by the evil in this world. If the heart is fatally damaged, then he may really die. However, death is not terrible. What is truly terrible is the malice still suppressed in the body. Once

If the host dies, then the malice will lose its support and eventually break through Kirito's inhibitions and come to the world. This is the outcome he least wants.

There is another thing that worries Kirito, and that is that the malice in his body is getting stronger and stronger. From being barely suppressed at the beginning, Kirito will be affected whenever he makes a move. If it were not for the control of Dante's blood, maybe he would have already

Become a machine that only knows how to kill.

'We must find a way to control it as soon as possible' Kirito thought secretly in his heart.

————————————————————————————————————

Kirito was sitting on the edge of the top of a tall building, frowning as he looked at the demons that were raging below, and the humans who were being hunted were running away in panic.

They look like scarecrows. The only difference from scarecrows is that their hands or feet are scythes, and they can move and know how to use the scythes on their bodies to hunt humans.

After watching for a while, Kirito turned his head and looked at a mine in the distance. No, to be more precise, it was a strange stone wall that suddenly rose up from the ground at some point in the mine. The wall shone with navy blue luster.

There are weird patterns on the surface.

"Did that thing do it?" Kirito jumped to another building. Now he had no time to save the person, because even if he saved the person, he would never survive for long. He had to kill the source of all the troubles.

Just eradicate it.

I saw a black figure constantly jumping on the top of the building. If it weren't for the fact that it was daytime, then this black figure would definitely be thought to be a ghost.

Stopping in the deserted mine, Kirito's eyes gradually narrowed, looking at the marks on the wall that he had just made with his sword. This was the fifth time Kirito had seen these marks. It was clear.

The point is... Kirito got lost in the mine.

"Who designed the mine! This is unscientific!" Kirito shouted ventingly, waving the interpreter in the air above his head.

It has been more than an hour since entering this mine. The small mine is filled with countless small passages. Kirito has long forgotten how long he has been walking in it. If it were not for his good memory, the next step is

He had already demolished the last road.

"This is the last road that has not been traveled. I hope it is correct, otherwise I really have to..." Kirito muttered to himself, and finally hesitantly headed into the last untraveled mine tunnel in his memory.

Go.

The last untraveled mine tunnel leads to a circular open area. You can even see some mine carts here. The usually noisy mine seems very quiet after the invasion of demons. It is so quiet that

People think that some bad and strange creatures will appear next moment.

"Huh!?" Kirito sniffed. His sense of smell did not lie to him. Just now, he seemed to smell some strange smell, like the rust smell of iron that has been left for many years to rust. Although in the mine

It is normal to have the smell of rust, but Kirito is sure that he never smelled this rust smell when he was standing here just now, as if it appeared out of thin air out of nowhere.

Finally, Kirito looked at the wall in front of him, and his sense of smell told him a very deceptive answer. Why, because the smell of rust came from the wall, and it didn't stop.

This movement is too strange to say the least.

Suddenly, a bit of black was revealed from the wall. Gradually, more and more black parts appeared from the wall, and the embroidery smell that Kirito smelled was emanating from those blacks. Finally,

, Kirito found out what those black substances were. It was actually poisonous gas, and it would also weaken human cells and eventually make the hands and feet weak.

Underneath the black poisonous gas, there was a red hook-shaped object, and the one driving the poisonous gas turned out to be an insect-like creature. Its whole body was wrapped in the black poisonous gas, and only the red color was exposed.

Its head and sickle tail, and its emerald-like eyes exude a chilling light.

"No matter how many times I see the creatures in the Demon Realm, I am amazed by the creativity of the Creator." Kirito looked at the demon in front of him that was full of images of witches, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the creation of the image of the Demon Realm's demons is really good, and he has rich imagination.

Part of success.

With the first one, there will naturally be a second one. Not long after, the top of Kirito's head has been occupied by more than ten such gas monsters, which are constantly circling. Some of them are even larger and more colorful.

It's white.

"Aren't there any real creatures? Or is it that the black gas mask allows them to travel freely through matter?" Kirito said thoughtfully as he looked at the creatures that kept walking through the wall, and suddenly suddenly shook his head.

Jump and stand on a stick-like red light pillar.

"I see, it doesn't seem to have no entity, it's just that it can pass through the medium while the poisonous gas still exists." The red beam of light that Kirito was standing on was shot down from above his head. It was from a demon that was still floating.

Attack, it can be seen from the pierced ground alone that the opponent is not a good person among demons.
