Digitize: Rebirth of the Silver Death God

Chapter 92: Meeting One's Foes, A Dangerous Encounter

When Ivy and Lily appeared from the bushes, they noticed soon Nero who stood in the distance with his scythe. The two girls had a complex expression as they glanced at each other before nipping their lips as they continued to run at high speeds while shouting.

"Hurry and run away!" Lily yelled while pressing onwards.

"Don't just stand there, run away now, Silver B... Death Fiend!" Ivy said as she also ran with all her might.

The two looked a bit haggard as sweat rolled down their foreheads, dripping down their bodies that wore different kinds of battle armor, one being the thief's uniform while the other was a more common type of semi-revealing female armor.

Ivy's green hair danced up and down along with her large chest, much like the furry blue eared and haired Lily who kept pace with her. As for Lily's two subordinates, neither of them had been able to escape with them.

Nero, who was a bit angry at the two, was a bit surprised at their words, he had thought they would directly just run past him and allowed whatever that chased them to fight him. However, it seemed he's been biased towards his perception of all kinds of women.

After giving the two beauties another look, finding their running posture a bit appealing, he shook his head while thinking, 'They should count themselves lucky that I want to test my current strength against this beast. But since they did warn me, I suppose I can accept their kind gesture for now.'

By this time, both Ivy and Lily had already arrived in Nero's vicinity; they were only moments from passing him, but when they noticed that Nero didn't seem like was moving, their faces showed strange looks.

With a swish of her body, Lily appeared beside Nero, gazing at him with her cerulean colored eyes as she spoke, "Hey, are you deaf? That thing is almost here! You have to hurry and leave!"

Ivy didn't know Nero personally, and only knew of her brother's one-sided grudge against him, as such, she only looked at him silently with a pensive appearance.

Nero seeing the two girls stop by him sighed and spoke, "You two go on ahead, I'll be taking care of this..."

Both Ivy and Lily were shocked when they heard those words, they didn't know if he was being brave or stupid. They glanced at each other before shaking their head and staring at him more seriously.

"Hey, you only defeated that big lunk last time because of luck, if I didn't steal its weapon, what did you think would have happened? Stop being such an idiot and run!" As Lily said this, she grabbed Nero's arm, trying to pull him away.

However, Nero frowned at this and shrugged his arm, causing her to lose her grip, as she saw her grip so easily escaped by Nero, Lily grew angry, but deep down, she was quite surprised as she had held him firmly.

'This... did he get even stronger?' Lily thought to herself with a flash of surprise in her eyes.

Ivy took this chance to speak as she gave him an in-depth look with her beautiful green eyes, "Silver Boy... or rather Silver Death Fiend... I've seen your strength in that video, but even so, you are no match for the beast that coming, I'd advise you to leave with us..."

Nero sighed as he was wondering why these girls were taking so long to leave him behind, he stared at them carefully before he replied, "You girls don't need to worry about me, besides, aren't we supposed to be enemies? Since when do enemies go around helping each other. Besides, I said that I would be fine on my own, now go and escape, let me take care of the rest..."

When Ivy heard she gave Nero an even deeper look, unlike her brother, she could see things more clearly, noticing the confidence in Nero's eyes.

'He... he's so much different from big brother... hmm, such a strange fellow...' Ivy thought with a curious glance, after staring at him she no longer pestered him but glanced at the troubled Lily and spoke, "Sister Lily, let's get going, he said that he'd stay, so then let him..."

Lily frowned, for some reason she had a bad taste in her mouth when she found that she was being saved by Nero again, she glared at him and snorted as she replied, "Hmph! Fine, but don't think I'll owe you one again, I'll only cross off your previous misdeeds!"

After saying this, Lily looked at Ivy, and the two dashed towards the opposite direction, but before they could leave, Nero shook his head and muttered, "Tsk! They took so long to move, now it's already too late..."

Following his words, the blood-red hue had already enveloped this sector, painting the environment in its gloomy radiance. The instant this happened, a terrifying voice sounded from all directions, "Hahaha! Humans, where do you think you are going? Today, none of you will leave!"

Nero frowned as he heard those words, he pondered, 'A monster that can speak again... I feel that this will be troublesome...'

Adult Nero made a faint smile at this, as he spoke to himself, "Huhu... this should be fun, let's see how you face this one with your current strength..."

Following both the older and younger Nero's ponderings, a loud whooshing sound was heard as if something massive was falling from above.

Moments later, a massive shadow fell from the sky into the open field, crushing the ground with its feet as it sent clouds of dust across the area.

Lily and Ivy were startled as they had encountered a field that was blocked by a reddish power, sealing off all forms of exit. They stared at each other with worried looks as they knew that it must have more likely been toying with them during the entire chase if it had such an ability.

"That darn bastard!" Lily cursed as she glared at the giant silhouette behind the cloud of dust, her palms tightly clenched as she knew she'd be likely to lose a level today.

Ivy also didn't feel good, she thought to herself with a look of regret in her eyes, 'Maybe mother was right, I should have taken training more seriously...'

Lily also had similar thoughts, as she didn't like to train or compete with others, she only wanted to have fun and enjoy her time in this unknown world, even if it was only until the time of her clan's movements.

At this time, the dust was clearing, revealing the figure of a massive eight-meter large praying mantis, its entire body had a dark shell-like armor with its two giant crimson blade-like palms held before it in a crossword manner.

Its large eyes glowed in a menacing red light as it stood within the dust cloud, its mouth even emanated a dark haze that gave off a bloody flavor. Just by looking at its eyes, one could tell that they seemed no different from that of a predator's.

Nero gazed at the beast in silence; his manner didn't show fear, but rather, curiosity as he licked his lips and firmly gripped his scythe while his red pupils flickered in bright rays.

'I wouldn't back off even if you were 'Atlas,' so let's see if you are truly as strong as you look...' Nero thought, prepared to fight a grueling battle against this dreadful beast...
