With Silas's advice, Nero seems to have opened a door to a new world...
From this day on, a strange four-person group appeared in Red Tomb City, V, Nero, Silas, and of course, Nicole. Nicole came together as logistical support, because in the next period of time
Here, Nero plans to hunt demons in Red Tomb City to increase his strength.
Although Yurizen was beaten to a complete defeat, Nero and V also realized that Yurizen seemed unwilling to leave the Tree of Reverse Kabala. He seemed to be assisting the Tree of Reverse Kabala in absorbing blood and souls, so that he could be more capable.
Let the fruit ripen quickly. Since Yurizen will not come out, Nero and V can safely deal with the demons who leave the tree of the reverse Kabala and come out to hunt.
The human military is still debating fiercely whether to use powerful nuclear weapons to attack the Tree of Reverse Kabala. However, human civil organizations have begun to take action. Some demon hunter organizations like Dante Nero continue to
Appearing in Red Tomb City, they are also hunting demons and monsters. Although these demon hunters do not have demon blood and can use magic like Dante and Nero, they can rely on the firearms, crossbows and
The machete has achieved good hunting results. After all, those responsible for preying on humans are basically low-level demons and monsters. Facing these low-level demons and monsters, human weapons are still very useful.
However, the purpose of these demon hunter organizations is not necessarily simple. There may be such lofty purposes as protecting human beings, but most of them are to obtain organs and objects from demons. The materials from these demons can often be used to
Sell for big bucks on the black market...
Nero and his party also encountered several demon hunter organizations along the way, but Nero usually chose to stay away and not have contact with the other party... In fact, whether it was Dante or Nero, they would usually try their best to avoid it.
Possibly avoid showing his demonic power in front of ordinary people? So when Silas noticed Nero's thoughts, he felt very strange and asked Nero: "Why is this?"
"I just don't want to be regarded as a monster..." Nero answered him casually.
"But you are obviously stronger than those people? The strong are afraid of the weak? What is the truth?" Silas was very puzzled.
"Humans are social animals? But when they find that there is someone they can't understand in their group, they will treat him as an alien and reject him..." V took over and explained: "Nero, he
I just don’t want to be rejected by humans.”
"What a strange behavior..." Silas scratched his hair and frowned: "It's completely incomprehensible."
This concept is completely different from the concept that Silas came into contact with in the abyss world. The devil's concept is that the more powerful the existence, the more worthy of respect and awe. Silas has accepted this concept since he was a child.
So when he got close to Dante and Nero? In addition to the fact that they had the same half-demon blood as him, it was also because Dante and Nero were stronger than him. After getting the opportunity, he would unconsciously move towards the stronger ones.
Those who come closer.
So he couldn't understand Nero's current behavior at all...
There is a generation gap between him and Nero, and Nero also feels that there is a generation gap between himself and Silas, because in the operation of hunting demons in recent days, Silas also took action? Attacking those demons without mercy? Executioners
Swinging a scythe? It's so neat to kill demons.
"Silas? Aren't you also from the abyss world? Why do you kill demons without any psychological burden?" Nero finally couldn't help but ask during the break after a hunt.
"Huh? What kind of psychological burden?" Silas was stunned by this question and said: "Isn't this normal? Demons and demons will also fight each other!"
"What does Nero mean? There are no similar concepts between demons and demons?" Nicole interjected and asked.
"No..." Silas tilted his head and thought for a while and said: "Although there is cooperation between demons, my adoptive father said that it is more of a relationship between superiors and subordinates. Strong demons rule weak demons.
This is a matter of course... Having said that, do humans really not kill each other?"
"Uh..." Nicole and Nero were both stuck. They didn't know how to answer this.
Yes, although they have similar concepts, it is not uncommon for people to fight each other. Even from a moral point of view, this kind of fighting seems to be worse than the murder of demons...
Similar conversations occur every day between Nero and Silas, making both sides aware of the conflict of ideas with the other. However, this does not prevent them from hunting demons.
Half a month has passed. The foursome have hunted nearly a thousand demons in total during this period. However, the number of demons in the entire Red Tomb City has not decreased, but has increased.
This may be caused by Yuri's continuous summoning of demons from the demon world in the Tree of Reverse Kabala. The increasing number of demons does not have much impact on Nero and the others, but for those demon hunter organizations,
The impact is a bit big. Although these demon hunters can hunt low-level demons and monsters, their number is much less than that of demons. Once they accidentally provoke more demons than they can deal with, it will often lead to huge disasters.
casualties.
Therefore, in the past half month, the number of demon hunter organizations that everyone has encountered has become less and less, while the number of military troops has increased.
It is easy to level a city with nuclear bombs, but once Red Tomb City is destroyed, it means that hundreds of thousands or even millions of civilians will become homeless. How to resettle so many refugees at that time is the most confusing thing.
It's a headache. Moreover, the whole world is now paying attention to the Devil Tree that appeared in Red Tomb City. Any excessive actions by the military will be seen by countless people. The consequences of an inadvertent move may be scolded.
It will never turn over... So after the debate, the military still felt that it would be better to use nuclear bombs as much as possible if possible.
Fortunately, after so many days of observation, humans have also discovered that the huge devil tree has not changed much. Although demons continue to appear from the tree to hunt humans, the harm they do seems to be...that's all?
So in the end, the military sent a large number of troops into Red Tomb City to eliminate the demons. This approach was very effective. They once reduced the hunting range of the demons by a large circle.
But the closer you get to the Reverse Kabbalah Tree, the more demons you encounter, so gradually the military's advance is greatly hindered. There are a lot of gunshots every day. Similarly, every day,
There were also a large number of soldier casualties.
It seemed that some progress had been made, but both Nero and Nicole realized that maybe this was done intentionally by the demons. After all, many civilians had already fled, and these human soldiers who kept entering became what the demons were doing.
The Tree of Reverse Kabala provides the main object of blood. To put it simply, it is a trap that lures humans to continuously send people to die...
However, even though they knew it was a trap, Nero and the others were powerless in the face of this situation. It was impossible for them to find the military commander and ask them to evacuate, right? They didn't know Nero and the others at all, so how could they listen to them?
?
"So... we still have to solve the root cause as soon as possible!" Nero looked at the huge reverse Kabala tree in the distance and sighed: "But my power is not enough... I don't know about Dante and Letitrace.
What if they are really dead, then I..."
"Don't worry!" Nicole patted Nero's shoulder and said, "You have to believe that that man will not die so easily. The weapon he held was a weapon made for him by my grandmother... Let's not talk about that much.
Yes, come over quickly and help me debug it."
In addition to hunting demons and then devouring their souls to enhance her own magic power, Nicole has been using the materials obtained from the dead demons to make weapons for Nero these days. Nicole plans to make weapons for Nero.
A prosthetic arm allowed his right hand to regain combat effectiveness, but purely technological materials were incompatible with magic power, so it could only be replaced by materials such as devil horns or devil bones.
The right wrist prosthesis created by Nicole is still in the debugging stage and is not yet of use. Similarly, although Nero's magic power has increased, he feels that it is still not enough.
"Here you go!" V came back, panting. There was a huge black demonic crow on his shoulder. The corners of the crow's mouth were stained with purple blood. After panting for a while, V stretched out his hand towards
Nero handed over two dark soul light groups and said: "Killed two..."
"Are you participating in the battle again?" Nero took the soul light group, frowned and said to V: "Is your body okay?"
"It's not bad, I can still hold on..." V closed his eyes and leaned against the car door to rest, and the black demon crow on his shoulder mocked: "Hehehe, isn't it? This guy almost came just now
He just died..."
"Shut up! Griffin!" V scolded.
The demonic crow named Griffin laughed scornfully and stopped talking.
"Eat quickly!" V then said to Nero: "Silas is still hunting on the other side. He may be able to bring back more later."
Nero held the two soul light groups, looked at the dark light, and sighed: "To be honest, I really don't want to swallow the souls of these demons. This dark light makes me very uncomfortable."
Comfortable, every time I swallow them, I feel the demon blood in my body is stirring... Speaking of which, if I eat too many souls like this, I won't become a real demon, right?"
"Who knows? We have no choice now." V replied.
Thinking of Dante, whose life and death were unknown, Nero said nothing more. He gritted his teeth, stuffed the two souls into his mouth, and then felt the two souls turning into thin magic flows in his body and integrating into his body...
…
Silas's advice to Nero was of course well-intentioned, but he, who didn't know much about souls, didn't understand one thing: the devil's soul is an "evil soul". Such a soul contains
There are too many negative forces in the soul. It might not be a big deal if a pure demon eats it, but if a half-demon like Nero eats too many evil souls, it may not be a good thing...
