We cut to Nero, who's going in his own direction towards the nearest Qliphoth roots. He had traverse through fallen buildings fighting flying demons and devils alike.

Through the sewers he made it to the basement of the Redgrave city library as on the way he came across a strange painting which depicted a cloaked figure with a white mask and large scissors. The painting suddenly began to twirl and distort as from it a demon appeared almost chopping Nero's head of as he ducked just at the right time.

The demon went in for another attack which Nero dodged once more as it went through the wall as Nero followed suit.

Nero eventually made it to the upper floors as it was filled with shelves full of books as above the bookshelves waited two scissor demons ready to kill Nero.

"Two on one? That's hardly fair." He said with a smirk as the demons attacked him.

Nero jumped out of the way, landing behind them as he took out blue rose and shot the back of their heads which stunned them for a bit.

"For you I mean." He said as the demons roared at him.

Without warning, the Death Scissors demons lunged at Nero from opposite ends of the library, their scythes slashing through the air with deadly precision. Nero's eyes widened as he swiftly dodged the first demon's attack, feeling the gust of wind as the blades passed millimeters from his body. With lightning reflexes, he twisted in mid-air, his Devil Breaker arm transforming into a powerful rocket fist.

With a thunderous roar, Nero unleashed the rocket punch, hurtling it towards the first Death Scissors demon. The projectile collided with the demon's chest, sending it crashing into a bookshelf, causing a cascade of ancient books to rain down upon it. But there was no time for respite, as the second demon closed in, its scythe slashing towards Nero's head.

Reacting instinctively, Nero raised his rocket arm as it pulsated as Nero the arm punched the demon sending it into the air before exploding as the demons blood poured across the library and on to Nero.

Nero regained his footing, a fiery determination burning in his eyes. He unsheathed his trusty Red Queen sword, its blade crackling with demonic energy. With a powerful leap, he launched himself towards the second Death Scissors demon, his sword arcing towards its neck with blinding speed. The demon, sensing the imminent danger, swung its scythe in a desperate attempt to parry the strike.

The clash of metal reverberated through the library as the scythe and the sword met in a shower of sparks. Nero's strength surged as he was surrounded by demonic energy. Sword and scythe clashed creating sparks as the strength of Nero's slash pushed the demon back.

Seizing the opportunity, Nero delivered a devastating blow, driving his sword through the demon's chest. Dark energy crackled along the blade, disintegrating the demon's body as it let out an agonized shriek. The defeated demon dissipated into a cloud of demonic mist, leaving Nero standing victorious amidst the wreckage.

Nero moved forward eventually entering a hallway. Before he could walk through he heard the sound of a sonic boom as all the Windows in the hallway shattered leaving glass on the floor.

Nero quickened his pace as he came to a room that lead to a large clearing outside as it was where the Qliphoth root was located. He saw a phone booth there as dialed Nico's number.

"You're up Nico." He told her as out of nowhere her van fell through the roof and landed next to him as he sighed.

"You know I got you covered asshole." She said as he smiled putting the phone back as he vent to the van to gear up on more supplies.

Nero after thanking Nico went in to what was formally an observatory as he looked upon the decaying building.

"This place has seen better days." He said looking around.
