Chapter Sixteen, Devil May Cry 4 (Where Dreams Begin 5)
When everyone walked into the Advent Room, at first glance, they saw that they were surrounded by cage-like rooms with some human beings in them...
No, it should be said that it is a demon that has not completely changed, and has lost part of its body and only a little bit of consciousness.
"It seems that these are all unfinished and failed products! No wonder they can't be found. It turns out they are locked up here!"
Looking at the "things" in the cage, Tracy said something slightly angrily.
Letty, who also saw all this, had a look of sympathy on her face and continued:
"I never imagined that there are always so many lucky people in this world! I know there may be some risks..."
Bang! Bang! Bang!…
At the same time, a gunshot rang out, and then Dante blew the light smoke rising from the muzzle of the gun, and then said with a complicated expression:
"This can be considered a relief!"
After finishing speaking, Dante looked at Beja and Angelo, mother and son, who were walking in front. Just as he was about to move on, there was a sudden loud noise, and the surrounding space suddenly shook, and dust
Falling from the sky...
"That's..."
At this time, Beya suddenly called out in confusion, and then reached out to catch the white feathers falling from the sky...
"It seems something big happened, Nero..."
The feathers turned into golden light and disappeared. Beiya clenched the sword in her hand and said with a frown, the worry in her eyes was obvious...
"If you are worried, then go and have a look!"
After patting his mother's shoulder and comforting him, Angelo nodded to the trio behind him, and then took the lead and ran towards the huge stone statue in the center.
Angelo didn't pay attention when he first came in. When he came to the foot of the stone statue, a look of shock flashed in his eyes, and an indescribable sense of oppression arose...
Although the mother and son have often dealt with demons in the past few years, even huge demons have not been seen before, but this huge stone statue in front of them is really unprecedented.
He made a rough calculation in his mind and found that it was probably more than a hundred meters or even higher. With his extraordinary perception and computing power, Angelo had already calculated the basic data of this stone statue...
"Tch! He looks like Ultraman. Apart from being a little bigger, he doesn't have much strength, and his weaknesses are too obvious. It's really an incomprehensible aesthetic!"
After dispelling the oppressive feeling that enveloped his heart, Angelo shook his head and commented with disdain.
"Isn't it? I really don't know why these guys like this kind of tune..."
At this time, Dante, who was walking here, heard Angelo's words and answered.
Different from what Angelo felt, this stone statue reminded Dante of a very powerful opponent he had defeated before, that is, the legendary king of the demon world - Demon Emperor Mendes...
For a long time in the future, I didn't meet a decent opponent, so much so that if I hadn't been accompanied by a so-called "close minister" of the Demon Emperor, I would have forgotten...
"Then just dismantle it, but there was still movement just now..."
He muttered something secretly, and then followed Angelo in front.
When the two arrived at the bottom floor, as Ru Yan could see, the "dead" Pope stood above the huge stone statue, with a golden light shining on his body, holding the Yama Sword in his hand, with an excited look on his face.
His expression seemed to be telling something.
And under his feet, where the sapphire was inlaid on the forehead of the stone statue, a blond girl whose upper body was about to fall was restrained. It was Ji Liye, and Nero...
At this time, Nero was no longer as high-spirited as when they first met, and he looked extremely decadent when he was held by the stone statue...
It seemed that not long after everything happened, just when Angelo wanted to fly up and kill the Pope, a demon with a one-winged angel posture instantly landed in front of the Pope, and then made a horizontal slash across the Pope's waist, hitting the Pope.
Fly out.
"Nero! Run!"
Nero, who was struggling in the hands of the stone statue, suddenly heard a familiar cry, it was Credo.
Later, when he saw the pope being knocked out, Nero felt happy, and then he planned to break free quickly.
Just as he freed one arm, Credo's painful screams sounded again. When Nero looked up, he saw Credo's chest being stabbed through by the Demonic Sword.
"Credo!"
Seeing this scene, Nero screamed angrily.
Then, after the impaled Credo returned to his human form, he raised his trembling arms and grabbed the Pope's neck.
Seeing Credo's reaction, the Pope showed no mercy. He just used a little force and stabbed the Yama knife deeper.
"Although I received the report from Agnus... I didn't expect you to betray me... Why? You should be the most loyal and reliable man..."
The Pope, who looked disappointed, asked Credo a few questions in a tone full of doubts.
Facing the Pope's question, Credo vomited blood and lowered his head to look at Ji Liye, who was hanging half of his body from the savior's body:
"For the paradise you believe in, I will do anything...even if it makes my hands dirty, but it is to let more people be saved...but, you actually used Ji Liye, even Ji Liye
...My sister...her heart is more pure and flawless than anyone else...! What is the meaning of such a paradise...! What is the meaning of a paradise that no one like Ji Liye deserves...!
"
Credo wanted to grab the Pope's neck again, but he had no strength. After the Pope waved him away, Credo weakly lowered his head.
"Credo!"
The Pope sneered:
"In other words...family affection? What a boring idea...what we firmly believe in is only the supreme power..."
After saying that, he pushed Credo's body away, but Credo had no ability to resist and was separated from the Pope. Credo's body fell down.
Seeing this, Dante hurriedly jumped into the air, instantly caught the falling Credo, landed firmly on the ground, and smiled at the caught Nero.
Later, Shanshan's three daughters, who were late, also arrived at the scene.
Looking at Dante below, the Pope standing above the savior smiled proudly, then looked at Tracy, sighed, and asked in a faint tone:
"Finally revealed her true face? Gloria!"
"Did you really reveal your secret? It seems that I should dress more plainly!"
Tracy shrugged and replied nonchalantly.
Then, the Pope looked at Dante again and smiled proudly. Just when he was about to say something, Beja beside him finally spoke.
"Sandonis! Do you still recognize me? Well~, maybe you shouldn't forget it!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, Beja, who called the Pope by his real name, instantly attracted the Pope's attention. Nero, who was caught by the savior, also looked in that direction...
Just one glance, just one glance, Nero had already confirmed that the young woman was his mother...
"Mother?"
He murmured quietly, and before Nero could ask, the Pope's surprised voice instantly resounded throughout the whole room.
"Beatrice?? Augustus?? Lawrence! No! Why is it you? You should have been dead long ago..."
As he spoke, a trace of fear and panic flashed in his eyes, and then he nodded with great certainty and said in a confirming tone:
"Ah! It turned out to be you. I really didn't expect that it was you and that man who gave birth to him..."
Having said this, the Pope glanced down and immediately saw Angelo standing behind Dante, and then pointed:
"Huh? There's another one? I should have thought of it earlier! The man who came to Fortuna seventeen years ago, Virgil! It was you who proposed to the headquarters at that time to contact that man, but~ I really didn't expect it...
"
Not paying attention to Beja's cold eyes below, the Pope suddenly showed an extremely excited expression on his face and narrated:
"Beja, look at all this. If your grandfather, that damn old man, hadn't chosen to make that stupid Muniz the pope, all of this would have been done long ago..."
Having said this, Sandonis paused for a moment, a look of memory flashed across his face, took a deep breath, and slowly added:
"It's a pity that it was completed too late! But although all this was extremely difficult, it was still completed. You are no longer qualified to stop the savior!
So, it turns out that I am right, and you, Beja, as the only remaining member of your family, watch all this on behalf of your grandfather! Hahahaha!"
After saying that, the proud Pope moved his gaze to Nero. When he was about to say something else, Dante interrupted.
"Oh! I think this kid is quite motivated!"
Dante's words distracted the Pope's attention for a moment...
At that moment, Nero roared, stretched out his gigantic demonic hand, grabbed the pope who had not reacted, and slapped him on the savior's body. The huge impact
The force caused the savior's entire body to shake violently.
But the next moment, he felt that Sandonis had disappeared from his hand. Before Nero had time to react, he only saw that his right arm was instantly pierced by the Demonic Sword.
Holding back the pain, Nero saw the pope slowly emerging from the savior's wrist.
"Give up the useless struggle! You can't escape anymore! You will become a part of the savior..."
Looking at Nero who was still struggling, Sandonis said in a faint tone.
"Maybe he really can't escape..."
Watching this scene, Beja suppressed her anger and said something to Sandonis. When the latter looked over, Beja added:
"I gave up once, but now, I will never let go again, Nero! I will definitely rescue you, I swear!"
After saying that, looking at Nero who had his arm pierced, and holding down Angelo who was about to step forward, Beja clenched her fists, and the murderous intent in her eyes almost solidified.
Just when he was about to say something, Angelo sighed, walked forward, glanced at the imprisoned Nero, then turned to the Pope and sneered:
"Hmph! Do you know what a villain dies from talking too much?"
After saying that, before Sandonis could speak, Angelo teleported and appeared in front of the Pope. Without waiting for him to react, everyone only saw Angelo instantly holding the blade of the Yama Sword, and then moved forward.
push
The subconscious action forced the pope to let go of the handle of the knife. Then he saw Angelo doing a trick and put the Yama knife into the scabbard and said:
"It's time to return this thing to its original owner! My father should have killed you back then, Nero, do you need me to rescue you..."
After asking Nero again, before he finished speaking, he saw Nero's body sinking slowly. Then Angelo looked at Sandonis again, seeing that he had not yet reacted to what had just happened.
Angelo sneered and said in a gloomy tone:
"I won't fight you here. When you prepare everything, I will let you see clearly that even if you gain the power of Sparta, you are still just a humble human being!"
After saying that, he looked down at Nero who was almost completely swallowed. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Nero's weak voice:
"Sorry, no! I can come out on my own, but now I've run out of oil...let me sleep for a while..."
Finally, with a middle finger, Nero was finally "swallowed"
"Hahahaha! Don't be complacent, the savior who has completely become a "god" is definitely not something you can compete with..."
Having said this, Sandonis glanced at Angelo with lingering fear, and while slowly sinking into the stone statue, he said the last words:
"Let the Yan Demon Sword be placed with you first. When everything is completed, I will go and get it back in person..."
As the words disappeared, the savior's body made a huge roar and slowly flew into the sky.
I had not found any useful information about the savior before, but the moment I saw the savior with my own eyes, I immediately understood its working principle.
This was simply a huge humanoid weapon. Looking at the savior who continued to rise, Dante thought of the Demon Emperor he had faced.
Demon Emperor Mendes - its power is too powerful. Mendes has never appeared in this world, but chose a huge stone statue similar to a god as a support. And the savior in front of Dante now is the same as that time
The Mendes coincided.
"It seems that the bad guys all have similar thinking patterns!"
As he spoke, he looked at the savior floating in the distance, with feather-like wings spread out behind his back. Dante couldn't help laughing, then pointed at the savior and said to everyone:
"Hey, look! Look! It has wings! Wings!"
Faced with Dante's teasing words, Tracy sighed impatiently:
"...This design is really disgusting."
After saying this, just as everyone's eyes were focused on the savior, they heard a weak and dull groan from behind Dante. Everyone turned their heads and saw Credo standing up tremblingly.
Seeing this, when Beja was about to step forward to help her, Dante stepped between the two, then pointed to the savior floating in the air and asked:
"Hey, where is that thing going to fly to? And what did he say about whether it's finished or not..."
Dante didn't care about Credo's physical condition, because no matter what comforting words he said, Dante knew that there was no way he could save himself.
Moreover, Credo would not want his enemy to show sympathy. Even if there was no communication, Dante knew that he was a proud man.
Credo covered the wound on his chest, held on to the rubble around him to support his trembling body, looked at Dante and the others, and said in a quick voice:
"The purpose of the Order... is to build an Utopia... a paradise where only those chosen by God... are qualified to live... In order to change today's rotten world... we have to do this... In order to create a new world, only
It can cause huge chaos and destroy this world..."
After listening to Credo's words, Tracy whispered as if understanding:
"That's why they need the Yan Demon Sword..."
"But the Yama Sword is in Angelo's hands now! I can't believe it..."
Letty looked at the Yama Sword in Angelo's hand and replied.
She had a brief fight with Vergil back then, and even now, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Letty would never have imagined that the weapon held by that man could have such powerful power...
Yama Sword, the demon sword used by Sparta to seal the demon world. It is a sword that can separate the worlds of humans and demons. It is also the key to liberating the gate of hell that exists here.
The cult's persistent pursuit of the Yama Sword is also to liberate the sealed gate of hell, which will eventually lead countless demons into this world.
The chaos that Credo refers to is this, a desolate world where demons are spreading, and then the Order can act as the savior to save the world.
"It's such a boring drama, pretending to be a savior to save the world, and then end up killing us!"
Wanting to understand the reason, Angelo looked at the Yama Sword in his hand, feeling the powerful magic contained in it, and said disdainfully.
"Old Spartan drama."
Dante shrugged and said indifferently.
"If this is really the case, then Sandonis will definitely come again, Angelo, be careful then."
Beja glanced at the Yama Sword in Angelo's hand, then at Credo, who was already dying, and reminded him with a worried expression.
"The power of the savior is very powerful...but if anyone can stop it...it would be you...Dante, the son of the magic swordsman Sparda..."
Listening to Credo's words, which sounded like an aggressive tone, Tracy glanced at Dante with a wry smile, who sighed, touched his forehead, and then heard Credo's intermittent voice:
"I know you have no obligation to promise me...but, even so, please...save Ji Liye, and Nero...I have already——"
Before he finished speaking, Credo fell in the direction of Dante without any warning. As if he had expected it, Dante caught Credo.
His dead body, surrounded by a faint white light, gradually disappeared like an illusory bubble. This must be what angels looked like when they were sacrificed. People with demonic power do not always greet death in such a beautiful form. This is accidental.
Dante doesn't know whether it's a miracle or the result of Credo's inner desire.
After Credo's body completely disappeared from his hands, Dante sighed softly:
"You have to listen to other people's last wishes, let alone that kid, Zhen Zhenzhen!..."
After clicking his tongue, Dante glanced at several people, and finally his eyes rested on Angelo, and said something extremely free and easy.
"I seem to have some energy."
After speaking, Dante snapped his fingers.
Then Tracy glanced at Letty and Bea, and the three of them glanced at Dante and Angelo. Then Tracy said:
"Then, the three of us will guide the citizens to evacuate!"
"Hello!"
Without thinking, Dante quickly stopped Tracy, who had moved away. The latter turned around, tilted his head, and asked doubtfully:
"What?"
"You... after all, it was you who gave that thing to the other party..."
After glancing at Letty who was unaware, Dante gave a hint.
"Well~, then let's exchange... Anyway, I don't have any objection!"
After speaking in a provocative tone, he glanced at Beja, who looked gloomy, and then at Angelo.
Dante knew very well what Tracy looked at when he gave her a look. Even if it wasn't like this, there was no way he would have let three women fight that thing while he and Angelo, the two big men, went to evacuate the citizens...
…
"Forget it... let's stick to the original plan."
In desperation, Dante could only follow the other party's instructions, even though he was very unhappy.
Tracy sighed as if she was about to lose her patience:
"You have this problem of denying others without even thinking about it. You'd better change it for me."
After saying that, Tracy and Letty turned around and left. After taking only two steps, they found that Beya had not followed. Then the two of them walked to Beya's side curiously...
At the same time, Dante and Angelo also felt that Beja's body suddenly emitted an inexplicable magic wave, as if it was emitting some kind of signal...
"Okay! I just tried it, and I didn't plan to succeed, but I really didn't expect..."
Facing the doubts of several people, Beiya took off the crystal bracelet on her wrist, waved it in front of their eyes, and then said:
"This thing is a magic engine launcher, specially used to summon objects. Now...it's here!"
After saying that, before several people could ask questions, a light yellow magic circle with a diameter of about two meters suddenly lit up at Beiya's feet.
The sixteen six-pointed stars in the magic circle rotated slowly, and more than a dozen streams of light flew out from it. After circling Beiya's body, they instantly stuck to Beiya's body, and a bright white light instantly rose up.
of light.
In just an instant, after the light dissipated, the assault jacket on Beja's body disappeared and was replaced by a set of knight armor engraved with magic inscriptions. The light golden patterns were interspersed with each other, making it look extremely magnificent and holy.
"My grandfather asked a very famous alchemist to build this for my grandmother, but he later gave me an advantage! It couldn't be driven before, but now, it should be no problem!"
Looking at the stunned people, Beya explained, then greeted Letty and Tracy, and the three of them left the place...
Seeing that the bracelet on his mother's wrist actually had this ability, Angelo couldn't come to his senses for a long time. It wasn't until Dante reminded him that he came to his senses and asked:
"Then we have to go back the way we came, right?"
"Yeah~! Anyway, just leave here first. Come on, kid, go clean up the mess in the church first!"
Dante nodded uncertainly, thought for a moment, and then pointed out the next route for the two of them.
"Then let's go, let me try the power of this knife first!"
Nodding in agreement, Angelo took out the Yama Demon Sword, and then the shadow left on the sword at the moment when he got it appeared in his mind...
The next moment, Angelo came back to his senses and drew a cross in the space in front of him. As the light blue breath slowly leaked out, a cross-shaped portal instantly opened...
After sheathing the sword, Angelo greeted Dante, who was a little surprised, and then stepped into the dimensional portal...
No wonder, no matter how good his swordsmanship was, his mother always said that he was still a little short of it. Now - after getting the Yama Sword, Angelo finally knew what he was missing.
Dimensional Slash uses the power of the Yama Sword to distort space to interfere with objects. This is something that the Light Shattering Blade does not possess.
But that was before. Angelo had already understood the power of Dimensional Slash. From now on, even if he holds the Light Shattering Blade, he can still use Dimensional Slash, but he can only use Dimensional Slash...
Taking one step forward, Dante and Angelo looked back at the huge wall of the church headquarters and smiled proudly...
At this time, in the Demonic Heart Furnace inside the Savior, the pope with a light golden color shining on his body was giving instructions to Agnus...
"His Majesty the Pope... No, Lord Demon Emperor...! Please be sure to give me the next step of instructions...!"
Agnas, who was kneeling on one knee, asked for instructions with a respectful expression on his face.
When Sandonis saw Agnus's respectful expression, he smiled slightly and then instructed:
"Remember that Nero? He has a brother, and the Yama Sword is in his hand now. I hope you will take it back and complete the last step of our great cause!"
Having said this, Sandonis paused and looked at Agnus's reaction.
After discovering that Agnus did not ask those uninteresting questions, Sandonis nodded approvingly and added:
"For this reason, I will give you part of the power from the god "Savior". With this part of the power, I want to defeat him easily!"
After saying that, Sandonis put his hand on the top of Agnes' head, and with the infusion of extremely huge magic power, Agnes instantly transformed into a demonic form...
Then, Agnus, who had inherited part of the savior's power, felt his own inexhaustible magic power, and instantly transformed back into human form, knelt down on one knee, and asked cautiously:
"After getting back the Yama Sword, do we need to deal with Dante and the others..."
"Now that the savior has been completed, it should be very easy to kill Dante... However, our plan should be implemented first!"
"Yes! His Majesty the Great Demon Emperor..."
After saying that, Agnus left the inside of the Savior. After confirming the direction, he flew towards Angelo...
