Bab 120: Culling of Heroes I

'7 heroes, huh?' Nero thought to himself as he attempted to process the words through his mind.

'I didn't expect that to pop up. Is this what I really need to do to complete the trial of the fallen?'

[Correct. It is as Seffirot has ordered. You need to collect 7 heroic souls to pass the trial. The rewards will be satisfactory.]

'I see. Now that I know what I need to do, how am I going to achieve it? There are no other heroes around me.'

Nero inspected his surroundings, finding only vast wastelands of blood and corpses. As he could not find anything on land, he ascended into the sky, activating Mystic Eyes of Interspace.

However, due to one of his eyes being damaged, the Mystic Eyes of Interspace could only work at half its usual power, but that was enough for Nero.

He spotted a group walking away from the battlefield. Immediately, he assumed they were heroes. So he accelerated towards them, instantly appearing behind them.
