Chapter 301: Loss Makes Life Stronger
"No, your men are good candidates as sandbags to warm me up. I have tasted for a long time, as a Spartan, the feeling of slaying all the demons that have come to the human world. You know, Gilvie, it's like shoving your head into a demon's corpse and burying you to suffocation! ”
“…… Hmph, but you're not in the mood as good as you say, Tony. ”
Virgil, who was about to say something, was interrupted by Dante raising his hand. Slapping off the dust that had fallen from the shattering ceiling, the glaring greatsword was pointed at Virgil's eyebrows.
"Sorry, Tony's name, I've given up. Now you should praise my name with awe, Demon Hunter, Dante! ”
"Oh? Then please let me correct the title. O betrayer, Dante! Now you feel the pain of losing everything. This is a gift specially prepared by the Demon Emperor for the filthy and ugly Spartan bloodline, do you like it? ”
The scene suddenly became quiet, and the sound of even a thin needle reaching the ground was clearly audible. The temperature of the space surrounding the confrontation between the two seems to be dropping sharply, no, it really is. When he heard Virgil stimulate the most vulnerable places, Dante's anger did not explode instantly. The anger of the moment is only brought about by the temporary blood. Now Dante seems to absorb all the heat around him into his heart. The anger gathered in the heart can almost vaporize the steel.
“…… Bandage man, although your taste is different from those miscellaneous demons, you don't seem to understand one thing. ”
Realizing that Dante was not easily irritated by his words, Virgil spread his hands and expressed his disinterest.
"A demon with human blood in its body. What can I say? Could it be...... The so-called righteousness, love. Is there something like goodness that is not worth mentioning at all? However, it also fits your identity as a bastard. ”
Virgil's insulting words. It didn't do anything for Dante, on the contrary, it made the man, who had almost lost everything, even more angry.
"Once, my godfather who taught me said that loss makes life stronger. Now, I clearly understand what kind of truth is contained in the words of the godfather. Yes. You have deprived me of my good partner who has been through the ups and downs with me for many years, made Jessica suffer the double torture of her soul and **, caused my adoptive mother to die in the flames, and gradually alienated everyone in the entire mercenary camp...... The strength that this loss has brought to me, let you experience it with your body and soul! ”
The black-red demonic power similar to that of Sparta, Dante's father, coalesced into a shockwave that swept away the surrounding buildings and demons, and the hub in the mercenary camp was blown away by the tornado formed by the demonic power, and even the entire part that could indicate its effect no longer existed. Under such a powerful impact, except for Gilvi who sensed the danger, he used the many demons he manipulated as shields. He desperately escaped outside the bar to avoid the fate of being affected by Dante's explosive power. Falling on the ruins destroyed by the aftermath, Virgil wiped a cold sweat with palpitations.
"He, what a huge amount of demonic power, I have the power of the Demon Emperor himself. If you are self-respecting head-on, I am afraid that you will be seriously injured......"
The smoke of the bar made it impossible for Virgil to see through it, and he could see Dante, who had cleared away many demons, in an instant. Hold the Enma Knife in its sheath in your hand. A strange smile appeared on Virgil's lips.
"It's just that the seal that I don't know what it came from has just been lifted. Suddenly, he unleashed demonic power beyond my imagination. Dante should have borne the same burden more than I could have imagined. I'd like to see how much strength you have left. of Sparta! It's just that before I do that, I'm going to have to do a little bit of preparation. ”
Virgil also underwent extraordinary changes at this time. Shocked by Dante's display of strength, Virgil had to take out his hole cards to deal with Dante. Violet lines spread across Virgil's bandaged skin, and in a short time they were all over Virgil's body.
"What the Demon Emperor has given me is the infinite power to rule over the human race. Die under the power of the Demon Emperor, as a betrayer, you should feel honored......"
"Honored? The scum who was beaten up by his father and godfather and thrown into the seal to survive. Accepting its power and being controlled by it, do you still feel honored? It's unimaginable. Don't you demons have brains? ”
Out of nowhere, a huge stone brick large enough to flatten the car was carried by a howling wind that blew away the smoke and dust in an instant, and headed straight for Virgil.
"What's wrong? That was too much force just now? Is it now possible to smash people only with bricks? Dante! ”
"Hmph, I'll make it clear to you later, my fist is enough to smash your bandaged, especially unpleasant-looking watermelon!"
The two who kept provoking each other in their mouths actually tightened their bodies almost to the limit at this time. Dante, who came out of the smoke and dust, really put a lot of pressure on Virgil, who used the power of the Demon Emperor, and Dante also felt the changes that had taken place in Virgil. If Virgil, who had confronted him in the bar before, Dante would be an opponent who would not have encountered any crisis as long as he did his best. But now, Dante could clearly perceive the demonic power that came from Virgil and made his soul feel oppressive. The surrounding environment has gradually changed to the time when he went to save Jessica, and the similar environment is not the erosion caused by the connection, but the demonic power emanating from Virgil's body forcibly transforms the surrounding environment into a place where he can continuously extract his own power, and at the same time strengthen Virgil's abilities in all aspects.
It seems that similar to the situation in the nursing home, we have to deal with this guy quickly!! ’
At the moment when the two were about to face each other, everyone in the Amada Tofu Workshop, except for Jessica, who was staring nervously at the space door, Xunxin and the Spartan family all showed a look of sudden realization and observed the changes in Virgil. Dante, who is not yet fully informed, can't see the source of Virgil's power, and Xunxin and Sparta, who have fought head-on with the Demon Emperor, are familiar with the Demon Emperor's breath. When Virgil used the demonic power given to him by the Demon Emperor, at that moment, Xunxin and the others noticed the details of Virgil, and then followed this channel to find the reason why Virgil became so strange.
"Is it because the seal of the Tower of Babel has been damaged a lot, and the Demon Emperor, who has done a lot of research, sneak attacked when his vigilance was reduced?"
In addition, Xun Xin and others couldn't find a better way to deal with Virgil's recent changes. Probably during the gap between Sparta and Eva's snooping on the two children, the Demon Emperor happened to do it during this time period......
"Now we are not worried about how the Demon Emperor interferes in the human world, Virgil, who has obtained the power of the Demon Emperor, and Dante, who has just remembered and strengthened, it is really difficult to judge which is better or worse in the battle between the two. And ......"
Sparta's hands couldn't help but clench, his two children were about to kill their own brothers, which was a picture that Sparta never wanted to see. However, because of the bandage, Dante did not know that the enemy standing opposite him and about to fight to the death with him was his long-lost brother. Virgil, who is controlled by the Demon Emperor, is in the same or even worse state as Dante, whose memory is sealed, and Virgil, who even satirizes his own origins, will not show mercy to his brother's subordinates at all. And Sparta's wife Eva wants to take out a magic weapon to stop the duel between the two, ordinary humans may think that the two brothers are immortal because of their strong recovery ability, but Eva is different from the uninformed mercenaries. The Enma Blade and the Blade of Rebellion created by Heartfinder are each crafted as an Infinite Apostle, and can deal with most enemies with special weapons. Unfortunately, Virgil and Dante, as demons, are also included in the scope of the two weapons.
"Mr. Heartseeker, if you let the two children continue to fight, their weapons can cause fatal injuries to each other!"
Eva's words also caught Jessica's attention. Under the explanation of the Spartans, Jessica not only has a significant increase in strength, but also has a deeper understanding of demons and humans. Dante's ability to recover is almost impossible for Jessica to be mortally threatened by ordinary swords and bullets in the knowledge she has acquired. But once faced with Dante's life-threatening situation, Jessica still couldn't hold back her anxiety and asked Seeker to stop the two from fighting.
In the face of everyone's requests, Xunxin didn't make much explanation and discussion, just sat in place, refilled the teacup in front of him, and then stared intently at every slight movement of the two people who were preparing for the decisive battle.
"All we need to do now is sit here and watch how the two of them solve an almost hopeless situation...... Seemingly hopeless......"
"Wait, Mr. Heartseeker, you are Mr. Dante's godfather, why?"
No matter how much Jessica asked, Heartfinder just asked her to sit quietly and watch Dante solve the biggest crisis of her life. Seeing the action of Xun Xin, Sparta also had an understanding, and sat down with Xun Xin, watching the fight of his children with the attitude of watching a movie.
‘…… Unexpectedly, in the end, I can't compare to you for the trust of children...... I'm really a bit disqualified as a father......
Not really, Sparta. You are the father of Dante and Virgil, and you stand in your father's corner, naturally not wanting your children to be hurt. But as a godfather, I want my two children to grow up as soon as possible. Natural selection is not the same when it comes to looking at children's horns. However, as long as we can ensure that it is safe, it is better to let the children get some exercise. ’
'yes...... So, let's see how we behave! (To be continued......)
