Chapter Twelve, Devil May Cry 4 (Where Dreams Begin 1)
At night, the bright moonlight swayed down from the sky, shrouding the entire castle in a dreamy white mist.
At a glance, the residence that once belonged to the magic swordsman looked extremely eerie under the moonlight.
At this moment, a man and a woman suddenly appeared in front of the castle. The man had bright silver hair, a blue coat on his upper body, a pair of light black jeans underneath, and brown riding boots that touched the floor.
The sound sounds from time to time...
The lady was wearing a black leather corset and trousers, and the sound of high heels stepping on the floor stopped in front of the door...
Stopping in front of the castle gate, Angelo looked up and glanced at the castle standing in front of him. It was like a fairy tale told by his mother in the past. The castle was related to kings, nobles, witches, princesses, or princes.
But according to the castle in front of you, the corresponding one should be a prince.
Thinking of this, Angelo chuckled and then said:
"Ha! Is it right here? I really didn't expect it. This trip should be said to be a noble prince who was exiled outside and came back to visit his castle. Are you right? Aunt Tracy?..."
Angelo's words made Tracy roll her eyes and sigh, and the latter replied seriously:
"Well! If the information obtained is good, that thing is underground in this castle!"
"That thing" in Tracy's mouth, Angelo also heard from his mother from time to time.
The Yama Sword, the weapon used by his father, has the power to separate the human world and the demon world, and can even distort space and destroy objects by interfering with dimensions.
I don’t know the more specific details. Even my cheap uncle, the powerful demon hunter, only touched it once. There is no doubt that it is a very powerful weapon.
One day three years ago, the broken Yama Sword was picked up by a researcher named "Agnas" from the church on a beach. He took it as his own and has been studying how to restore it.
it.
I originally planned to leave after meeting Nero that night, but when I met Leti at the port at noon the next day, I learned this information.
Then out of curiosity, wanting to confirm, and wanting to take back his father's relics, I stayed in Forduna for a few more days, and after contacting Tracy, the rest...
Suppressing the thoughts in his mind, Angelo shook his head, then followed Tracy and jumped to the top of the castle.
Soon, under the leadership of Tracy, the two walked to the castle atrium and stopped in front of the black stone tablet.
"Here, I think here, you should be able to feel the power emanating from that thing..."
Stroking the black stone tablet, Tracy glanced at her feet and narrated.
Then, Angelo stepped back a little, closed his eyes, opened his perception to the maximum, and then "saw" a very strange sight.
Below, through long pipes and corridors, in a room full of technology, a samurai sword broken into two sections was slowly floating.
At this moment, the moment he saw the broken knife, the call from his bloodline and the desire from his soul surged up from the depths of Angelo's heart.
Yes, that's right, that is the Yama Sword, that is the weapon held by his father.
I need that weapon. If I have that weapon, my power will definitely rise to the next level. That is power...
Thinking about it, Angelo suddenly opened his eyes and stretched out his right hand. That feeling...
It's like the same feeling that surged up in my heart before I held the Spartan Blade. But this time, is it the Yama Sword?
Really? I don’t know, but you can give it a try. Just when Angelo was about to verify it, his arm was held down...
"Angelo! Just confirm it. There is no need to alarm them. What you should do now is to go back and tell Dante and your mother the news. At least go back and tell her that you are safe, right?"
Putting down Angelo's hand, Tracy pointed downwards with a serious face, and then explained.
Trish's words made Angelo nod his head. Yes, what he should do now is to go back quickly.
At least, the moment he knew that the Demon Sword was inside the church, Angelo had regarded this magical tool as his own, so he should just keep it here temporarily.
After thinking about it, Angelo dissipated his magic power, looked down reluctantly, and then asked with a serious face:
"Okay! If that's the case, when is the agreed date?"
After looking around, Tracy confirmed the current time and then replied:
"I have already told Letty. She should have returned to the office now. As for Nero, if you contact him too frequently, it will cause trouble. That's it. It's time for me to leave. It's the agreed date.
goodbye!"
Perhaps because he was worried about being discovered, after finishing speaking, without giving Angelo time to react, he turned into a golden lightning and disappeared.
Looking at the direction in which Tracy disappeared, and then at the Yan Demon Sword hidden underground, Angelo suppressed the desire in his heart, then jumped up, transformed into a demon and disappeared into the sky...
A few minutes later, a blue beam of light instantly landed in the slums. After the magic dissipated, Angelo's extremely cold face was revealed.
After looking at the office in front of him, which was still brightly lit under the cover of darkness, Angelo smiled, nodded and said to himself:
"It seems that I'm not too late to come back. I could just fly there directly. Why do I have to take a boat when I go there?"
After shaking his head and simply not thinking about the problem, Angelo returned to the office.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw the three of them packing their things. When he saw Angelo coming in, Dante frowned, obviously not expecting him to come back at this point.
"Why did you come back so quickly? It stands to reason that you will come back the day after tomorrow, but in fact there is no need for you to come back!"
After thinking about the reason, Dante smiled bitterly and said a few words while fiddling with the firearms on the table.
Before Angelo could answer, Beja asked first:
"Why don't you come back with Letty? Even if it's just to confirm something, we can talk about it later. Also, Nero...does he know?"
After Beja asked, she looked at Angelo with extremely hopeful eyes, while Leti and Dante looked at each other, an inexplicable smile flashed in their eyes, and then they looked at Angelo...
"Mom, the last sentence is what you want to ask the most, right? It's okay, I should say, everything is fine, except for the recent injury from fighting the devil..."
At this point, after seeing Beja's reaction, Angelo quickly waved his hand, indicating to listen to him.
"It's okay! It's okay! It's just that my right hand was scratched. Uh... besides that, from my induction, his blood seems to have awakened.
It’s just that I didn’t tell him everything, I only told him part of it. For example, you are still alive and you have always been worried about him, and then about my father, I only told him part of it..."
While listening, Beiya let go of her worries and regained her previous calm demeanor.
After Angelo finished his "report", Dante looked at Beja and saw that she was no longer asking questions. He immediately put down the gun in his hand and asked:
"How about it, what I heard Letty say before, is that true?"
As soon as he finished asking, he saw Angelo nodded, and Dante, who knew all this, slapped his forehead helplessly, then complained with a wry smile:
"Hey! Looks like I'm quite busy this time!"
Leti, who was on the side, saw Dante's expression, laughed, and then asked with a smile on his face:
"Hey! Are you worried about meeting your second nephew, or are you responsible for sneaking in and sabotaging something? Come on, with Tracey coordinating it, it won't be a big deal!"
After saying that, he put all the things he had prepared into a travel bag, as if he were going on vacation, and he didn't look worried at all.
Even Beya who was cleaning up rolled her eyes when she heard Leti's words. After all, she knows the strength of the church better than a few people here.
But Dante's next words made all three of them stunned.
"I'm not worried about this. In fact, it's just like traveling. The only thing I'm worried about is whether Tracy will hand over the Spartan Blade to the other party in order to break into the church. Then it can be over in half an hour.
result……"
Before Dante finished speaking, Leti suddenly exclaimed, then suddenly opened the travel bag, checked the contents of the bag, and said helplessly:
"Ah? Thinking about it this way, this is really in line with that guy's style. Although it is a bit unpredictable, really, it will increase the workload. Dante, if things get serious by then, the original reward..."
Having said this, a smile appeared on Letty's face, of course it was a bad smile.
And Leti's words made Dante feel as if he had seen what was going to happen next. When he thought about not only increasing the useless workload, but also possibly having to repay money, he quickly waved his hand, indicating that she should skip this topic quickly.
…
Beiya on the side looked straight at this scene, always feeling a warm feeling. She shook her head to shake this feeling out of her mind, and asked slightly worriedly:
"If that's the case, is that okay with you?"
"Ah! If it's no problem..."
Dante replied with an indifferent expression. Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Angelo on the side.
"Mother! It's okay! I can kill those guys easily by myself, even with the Spartan Blade? After all, they are just a bunch of stupid humans..."
The cold words revealed deep disdain. Seeing this, Beiya let go of her hanging heart.
If the previous church was sure to destroy it, then after they get the Blade of Sparta...
After all, it is the personal weapon of the gods, so it must be very strong, but it seems that there is no need to worry about this now...
"When do we leave?"
Angelo's words interrupted Beja's contemplation, and the latter also looked at the other two people, or that one person - Dante
"Huh? It was originally scheduled for the day after tomorrow. Since you are back, then tomorrow at noon..."
When he said this, Dante suddenly froze, as if he had forgotten something important, and looked at Letty
Seeing this, Letty, who had experienced it many times, helplessly held her forehead and added:
"After arriving at the destination, probably at night, Tracy will tell you the exact time of action. After all, the Pope's whereabouts are unpredictable, and you,"
Having said this, Letty walked up to Beja, took the weapon in her hand, and recounted with a smile:
"I think you don't want your precious son to worry, so... we will set off last, at a different time than the two of them, and Tracy will pick us up. Now I think..."
"It's time to rest!"
Beja took over what Letty said. After finishing speaking, Beja gave Angelo a few more words and then left the office with Letty...
After confirming that the two of them had left, Angelo walked up to Dante, took the firearm he had been playing with, then showed a very strange smile, pointed to the door, and said:
"Ahem...Uncle, actually, I want to go there now! After all, flying there directly is much faster than taking a boat, but don't tell me you can't fly?"
After saying that, he planned to drag Dante out...
Dante was very surprised by the reaction of his cheap nephew. Although he looked similar to his elder brother, his personality...
After breaking free from Angelo's pull, Dante imitated Angelo's example and pointed to the door, and then said jokingly:
"You said what would your mother think if she found you weren't there when she came over tomorrow, and..."
Having said this, Dante sat back on his chair and added:
"And there are some situations that I haven't figured out clearly, so I went there rashly. Although it's not dangerous, but if I let them know where Nero is..."
After analyzing this, Dante picked up the pizza on the table, stuffed it into his mouth, threw another piece to Angelo, and finally said:
"I think you should know what I mean. Finally, if nothing happens, don't use that kind of power indiscriminately. It will be very troublesome if some guys who are difficult to deal with know about it..."
After saying that, seeing that Angelo had given up the idea of going now, Dante nodded slightly...
Soon, the appointed day arrived. When the uncle and nephew set foot on the land of Futuna, they both sighed.
"Oh! We have to choose it at night. It's obvious that we are the real owners of this place! It's like being a thief..."
Angelo's helpless words made Dante shrug his shoulders. The latter looked up at the blood moon hanging in the sky and said helplessly:
"I hope this long journey will not disappoint me. Boy, just relax and just treat it as a trip!"
After saying that, he walked forward at the lead, seemingly eager to see someone.
"Hmph! I think you're just here for a trip!"
With a cold snort, Angelo muttered subconsciously, and then quickly followed.
After a while, the uncle and nephew came to a big tree and stopped. Dante looked at the surrounding scenery, then nodded in confirmation, and said affirmatively:
"Well! This is it. I finally made no mistake this time!"
After saying that, he jumped up to a tree trunk above, then lowered his head and looked at Angelo, saying hello:
"Hey! Boy! I can't come up. I think we arrived a little early. We just made room for you. Can you come up?"
Hearing Dante's words, Angelo looked up and waved his hand. Seeing this, the latter shook his head helplessly, then leaned against the tree trunk and squinted...
After waiting for a while, and then waiting for a while, Dante suddenly opened his eyes, glanced down, and then asked:
"Boy! Do you have your watch? Look what time it is now..."
Angelo, who had just sat down, sighed helplessly after hearing the sound coming from the tree, looked at his watch, and replied:
"It's only been less than 3 minutes..."
After waiting for a while, Dante opened his eyes, looked at the blood moon that had barely moved in the sky, and asked again:
"By the way, how do you come here at night these years? Do you stay in a hotel?"
"Well! Under normal circumstances, we choose places far away from residential areas, or places that are convenient for leaving quickly. We are not limited to staying in hotels!"
Angelo, who was holding the sword, replied, and then a thought flashed through his mind. Angelo stood up, glanced up, then jumped on the tree trunk, and sat down.
With a surprised expression on his face, Ding asked:
"How many years have you been doing this? My mother seemed to have said before that after finishing this job, let me follow you in the future."
Perhaps it was Angelo's words that made Dante laugh. After hearing this, the latter was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter and said a little carelessly:
"Angelo, please don't say the word "do a vote" next time, as if we were doing something sneaky..."
Having said this, Dante looked at Angelo who looked puzzled, and then added:
"I didn't notice it before, but now that I look at it from this perspective, you and my idiot brother are quite similar. So, after rounding it off, that sentence is my idiot brother..."
As if he thought of something funny again, Dante burst into laughter and patted Angelo's shoulder with one hand while covering his stomach.
After Angelo, who looked helpless, dodged the second blow, Dante instantly lost his balance and fell from the tree...
Time sped up unknowingly as the uncle and nephew were playing around. At this time, the uncle and nephew were chatting on the tree when they suddenly heard the sound of high heels stepping on the floor from a distance...
The two looked at each other, and then they both jumped down from the tree. As soon as they landed, a woman's complaining voice reached their ears.
"Can't you choose a sentimental place? If I hadn't heard the sound of your conversation, I almost wouldn't have found you."
"Oh! Didn't I just arrive? I really couldn't choose a place. By the way, you just said you were lost? No wonder we waited for so long..."
"That's you!"
After impatiently retorting to Dante, Tracy sighed helplessly and said:
"Forget it! I don't have time to talk to you anymore. I'll tell you the "specific" information I got in the past few days first!"
Tracy's words made Dante shrug his shoulders, and the latter nodded impatiently:
"Tell me! It's best to keep the story short. We have traveled a long way to get here~very tired!"
Although they said this, there was no trace of exhaustion on their faces.
However, Tracy had already learned about Dante's "complaints" countless times, so naturally she didn't care about it, so she told her the information she had been investigating in the past few days.
"The cult uses a certain ritual to summon demons, and then transfers the demon's power to humans. The person who made this order was the Pope himself!"
"Huh? That's what they did to break the door? And then what?"
Their ultimate goal is what all evil people want to achieve, such as: ruling the world...becoming a god...but..."
At this point, the two of them saw an obvious expression of disdain on Tracy's face, and the latter continued:
"Under the guise of so-called "religion", it is more unpleasant than other evil people. Whether it is the Pope or his cronies, they all think that what they are doing is right and is to save this gradually declining world.
,so………"
Having said this, an unconcealable smile appeared on Tracy's face, and Dante sighed in boredom after hearing this.
Seemingly knowing what Dante was about to say, Tracy picked up the conversation and continued:
"So, if you don't want to take it, I don't mind settling the matter. As for the boy named Nero..."
"Okay! Okay! Okay! I will pick it up, I will pick it up!"
Before Tracy could finish her words, Dante quickly waved his hand and said a few words repeatedly.
After Tracy saw the scene she wanted to see, she nodded affirmatively, glanced at Angelo who was standing on the side, then pointed to a magnificent building, and said with a serious face:
"Where, that place will hold the annual Demonic Sword Festival tomorrow. All members of the church will take part, including the Pope..."
"Um!"
Hearing this, Dante nodded and asked:
"What? Where shall we start? I don't know what the memorial is, but my dear sister-in-law mentioned it, it's very boring..."
Having said this, Angelo on the side nodded in agreement and interjected:
"The so-called festival is nothing more than preaching, and then praising Sparta's great achievements. If you ask me, his son and grandson are here, otherwise the two of us..."
Waving his hand, Dante interrupted Angelo helplessly, and then added:
"There's no need to talk about such boring things, you should know!"
Dante's words made Tracy nod in agreement, and the latter narrated:
"It's boring to say that if you are a religious insider or a believer, this ceremony is more like the "Mass" ceremony of the Holy Vatican..."
"Tch! The so-called Mass!"
After muttering disdainfully, Dante motioned to Tracy to continue:
"As for us, His Majesty the Pope, who usually does not appear often, will come out to preach on a certain day, and what we have to do is..."
"Enter in an extremely gorgeous manner, and then kill the Pope, right?"
After taking Tracy's words, Dante took out his gun and made a "kill" gesture. Tracy saw Dante's "gesture" and nodded in agreement.
Then, Dante asked the last question of the trip:
"Hey, can you confirm that the Pope is not a human being?"
"Um!"
He nodded firmly, as if in response to these words, bursts of wolf howls suddenly sounded in the distance...
Looking at Tracy's leaving figure, Dante yawned, jumped onto the tree again, and greeted Angelo:
"Come up and have a rest, we have a tough battle to fight tomorrow!"
After saying that, he closed his eyes again and stood up...
"Hmph! What a so-called tough battle!"
After muttering something in a low voice and curling his lips in disdain, Angelo replied:
"No, I have to go to my brother's place. If I don't rest, it's okay. If I rest, this place is definitely not suitable. Let's meet here tomorrow..."
The voice gradually faded away as he left. Looking at Angelo's "lonely" back, Dante smiled softly, then closed his eyes and ignored it...
At this time, it was late at night, and Nero, who had fallen into a deep sleep, was suddenly awakened by a burst of pain. He subconsciously released his left hand that was holding on to his right arm, and looked at the mutated arm under the bandage, which was constantly exuding weak energy.
of brilliance.
Seeing this, Nero felt moved and turned on the lights in the room. Under the light, a shadow was projected from the window sill.
Looking at that figure, Nero suddenly thought of the guy who claimed to be his brother on Firm Hill a few days ago.
He opened the curtains and saw that it was indeed him. Then Nero opened the window and Angelo jumped in, then jumped into the house.
Looking at Angelo looking at his room, Nero felt very complicated inside.
Seeing this person again, this person who claims to be his "family", if it weren't for his "deformed" arm, which reminded him all the time during this period that he was already a "non-human",
I will never admit that this guy is my brother.
Why do you say that? Because in this world, the so-called "non-human beings" are demons.
And if you have the power of a demon in your body and the blood of a demon flows in your body, then you are a demon.
It's just that he has "awakened" now, at least that's what Nero himself thought.
"Have you seen enough? Although your brother and I are very handsome, we are born to the same parents. Although you and I are a little different, we are not bad in appearance..."
As he spoke, he covered Angelo's mouth with one hand. Just when Angelo was confused, a hazy and gentle voice came from next door:
"Nero? What's wrong! If you have nothing to do, go to bed as soon as possible. After all, it's not good to stay up late! Do you have to attend the festival tomorrow?"
"I know! I know! There was a cockroach flying just now, I killed it, I'm going to sleep, I'm going to sleep!"
After saying that, Nero released the hand covering Angelo, and then made a "shush" gesture. The latter nodded, and then tiptoed to the bed...
After turning off the lights, Nero asked quietly:
"You...what is your purpose for coming back here now? Also, I asked around before, and I..."
Angelo waved his hand to stop Nero's question, and then quickly explained:
"Brother, don't ask anything. You will know everything tomorrow. I came today to stay at your place for one night. I came in such a hurry that my uncle forgot to book a hotel..."
As he spoke, Angelo quickly took off his coat and lay down on Nero's bed.
"You can't just watch your dear brother live on the street, oh! By the way, mother is coming soon, I hope you won't be too surprised to see her then!"
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Nero to answer, Angelo closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Hearing the news that his mother was coming, Nero was very happy that he could finally see his biological mother, although he still had a little grudge in his heart, some of whom were abandoned, and some of whom were worried that his identity as a "demon" would be revealed.
But when he saw his cheap brother lying unceremoniously on his bed, Nero said "FK"! and "HQ"! Just when he wanted to say it, he immediately thought of Ji Liye next door, and quickly said what he said
He swallowed it hard.
In the dark, he found a replacement bedding in the closet and spread it on the floor. Many, many thoughts flashed crazily in Nero's mind at the moment...
"Oh~, what can I do? Just think of it as getting familiar with it in advance! It's just that Ji Liye can accept it... Oh~, mother..."
At the end of the day, Nero, who was almost going crazy, didn't want to think about it anymore, so he fell asleep deeply.
However, after today, Nero truly understood how noble the demonic bloodline he hated was. The "god" he had never believed in and worshiped by the church turned out to be...
