Nero, the Legendary Hunter - Chapter 99
“Here, I got Nero’s old one, you can have this one, Jana,” Choko said happier than usual.
Everyone could feel the love overflowing from Choko, it was as if she had advanced to another level. She took Nero’s arm after he handed the armor to Jana and smiled fully. It was inevitable that he found it a little funny and adorable.
“Nera!” A tall woman with black hair, a slender body and above-average breasts, and red eyes runs toward Nero at great speed.
Nero dodged.
“By… Nera, it’s you, yes Nera, it’s me, your sister Elsa.” Awash in tears that looked like a waterfall, she says.
“My name is Nero, Nera died a long time ago!” Nero was upset with emotions, she was angry, happy perhaps, but sad that Nera had waited years and years for her sister Elsa, but never came to her rescue.
A pair of pink wings spread across Nera’s back.
The public on the street saw it and was shocked. But they had no intention of attacking Nero for being of another race, after all, her charm prevented them from doing that.
“In a dark and lifeless place, Nera was left, in a laboratory that looked like the house of horrors, she stayed, for years tortured and undergoing experiments, until she died. Now it’s just me, Nero, not Nera!” She said coldly with uncontrollable anger. It was as if all the repressed memories and memories came together, and she starts to shake and tears flow, she didn’t want to make drama she, but she couldn’t control herself, the emotions came out like an endless ocean.
“My God, My God…” The more she listened the more Elsa’s heart ached, she didn’t know where her sister was, but she always hoped that she was alive, but she didn’t expect this to happen to her.
Honda and the rest were crying, they felt the strong emotion coming from Nero, and they felt sad, not just them, the whole town cried. Nero’s pain was so great, it was suffocating.
“He understood?” Nero said with eyes almost lackluster, she was getting deeper and deeper into Nera’s memories and the pain was choking her, but she still managed to stay sane somehow: “Nera died!!” She screamed loudly with her hands down and bending forward.
Nero turned away with tears of sadness and bitterness, a terrible lump in his throat that almost chokes her and he starts walking.
“Nera, don’t go!” Elsa catches up with Nero and grabs her by the shoulders, she was class A after all.
Nero says with endless anger, “Heh, do you know who put Nera through all this? You can’t even imagine, right? But believe it or not, I don’t care, it was Eliane, and she’s trying to kill me, or rather kill Nera who’s already dead; however, does she think I’m so easy? I will strengthen myself and when that day comes…” The coldness in Nero’s eyes froze Elsa’s heart. She herself shivered at Nero’s coldness.
“I’m going to kill her and all those bastards in the lab who did all that to Nera!” Nero screamed with all her might as she said this, it was like she didn’t scream, she couldn’t breathe, the lump in her throat was choking her, and all the memories coming at the same time were causing her a lot of pain. Tears streamed from her eyes of anger and hatred, she wanted revenge for Nera!
Elsa shivered, she was still crying, but her expression froze. “Eliane did this?” She couldn’t believe it, after all, the three of them were sisters, why would Eliane do that?
She let go of Nero’s shoulder as she was stunned, Choko not far away was crying a lot.
“Nero, I’m here for you, don’t cry, don’t cry,” Choko said in a voice choked with tears.
When she was hugged by Choko, Nero still didn’t completely come back to himself, but her eyes started to glow more. Her thirst for revenge also eased a little.
Amazingly, the entire city was affected by Nero’s emotions, even when she was thirsty for revenge they were too. Her charm was causing their emotions to turn on when she was around, which made them cry, get angry, and anguish and pain, all Nero felt they felt, but not so intensely, just the ones connected stronger as Choko who felt Nero’s emotions and cried a lot.
“Nero, let’s get out of here…” Choko said softly.
“I…” Nero took a deep breath, many times she still remembers the little girl in a chained bed and undergoing experiments. It was all very vivid, and she had to accept that somehow it’s part of her now, because the feelings Nera felt, she’s feeling, like the strong desire to save Yui who stayed in the lab, when she’s still alive, she didn’t even want to think about the possibility that she was dead or else her mind might collapse again.
When Nero left with Choko, Jingu and the rest followed.
Elsa came to her senses and ran at wind speed towards Nero.
“Wait.” Elsa although still crying, she seemed more in control.
“Tell me everything that happened, please give me a chance to understand,” Elsa begged.
“Do you really want to hear it?” Nero asked coldly.
“Yes, I want.” Elsa took a deep breath and nodded.
They went to the inn, only Choko, Nero and Elsa remained in the room.
Nero starts to narrate.
[At 5 years old, Nera asked you remember: Big sister, are you going hunting? You said yes. Nera asked: can I go with you? No, you are still too young, you replied. Nera’s mother calls for food, Nera says she’s going but is stopped by Eliane. Nera, still innocent, at age 5, heard her whisper to her: “I know how you can go hunting with us.”
“Like?” Nera asked with a gleam in her eyes. “Easy, just hide inside the boat before we leave!” Eliane replied softly as if she was afraid someone would hear her. “Ohh, I will!” Nera had a revelation and responded happily, happy with the idea of her sister.”
Nero said: [After that, Nera does what Eliane says and hides in the boat and then hides: “Nera, you can go out, it’s your sister Eliane.” Nera came out from behind the door.
“Are we at sea yet?”
“Yea.” Eliane nods and says, “Oh, you must be thirsty, here I brought you.”
“Thanks, sister!” Nera believed and took it. After that, she says, “Sister, I’m feeling weak and I’m a little dizzy.” Nera sees Eliane make some hand signal and an evil smile she’s never seen before.
“It’s your fault things came to this,” Eliana said angrily undisguised to Nera.
“Sister, what’s going on?” Nera asked, confused: “I don’t understand.”
Eliane laughed devilishly and said: “It’s your fault the big sister doesn’t pay attention to me anymore, you need to disappear. After all, you’re just someone my sister found at sea, that’s right you’re not our sister, you’re just someone my sister met at sea and my mother started raising you as a daughter. But, this has gone too far, you need to disappear, you’re just an obstacle in my life.”
When she finished speaking, some people in black appeared.
“She’s yours now, you can take her. And make sure she never appears in front of me again, or else I’ll kill her personally.” Eliana told them.
“Right.” The man in the lead nodded and said, “Here’s five thousand coins as agreed.”
“…” Nera cried a lot as she felt her eyes get heavy and listened to the conversation between her sister and a man.
After that, Nera later woke up in a strange place, much like a cave and with iron bars at the entrance to the cave.
“You will be in this cell from now on.” Said a tall man with horns on his head.
“Where is my mother? Let me go!” Nera screamed but was ignored no matter how much she screamed.
The man before leaving said to her: “Behave and do whatever is told, and you can live in a room.”
After that Nera behaved and managed to go to her room, she went through experiments every day and needed to take different types of medicine, she went bald, I gained hair, then she created wounds, then she was healed, among all that, she also met someone, and this became her friend, for years, Nera was a little happy to have someone by her side, however, one day her friend Yui went and never came back.
In the end, Nera suffered so much that she died, and something perhaps because of the experiments made her wake up from the dead and take the white wings that were ripped from Yui. Ah yes, Yui was descended from angels. Anyway, taking the wings she ran away, or whatever it was, and then I wake up. I am Nero, not Nera, Nera died because of her sister!]
Nero finishes summarizing, this was not even 1 third of what Nera actually suffered.
Choko cried a lot hearing this, she was comforted by Nero.
“Now that you’ve heard all this, what do you think, am I lying, or am I telling the truth? Maybe you think your sister isn’t capable of that, and honestly, fuck you, I’ll kill her if I get the chance, and that lab…” Nero’s eyes start to show a lot of anger.
“I believe you, but I can’t believe you’re not my sister. I can feel it, even if you say you died and someone else took the place… Honestly, it’s hard to believe, but I know you said it’s true.” Elsa was very sad when she admits that she believed because it means that she now knew that her other sister sold her younger sister out of jealousy to spend a life worse than hell.
“You’re Nera, but I’ll respect you if you want to be called Nero now, but understand, I’m your big sister and I’d do anything for you, and as for Eliane… She’ll pay for it, but I won’t let you kill her, but yes, I will make her pay for her sins in the Clan prison. Nera, I mean Nero, understand, I’ve been looking for you a long, long time, I swear, not for a day did I forget you, so believe me when I say I’ll bring you justice when the lab… I I must be strong enough to destroy him, show me the way and we can save your friend, the sooner the better, right?”
Elsa smiled a little, though in reality it was forced because deep down, she felt sad, it would still bring Nera justice.
“I…” Nero was dizzy and confused. She didn’t expect this reaction from Elsa.
“Nero, come on, you always worried about her, yes? Don’t miss this chance.” Choko, despite being reluctant, told Nero to go in search of his friend who suffered as much as Nero or maybe even more.
