Chapter 407: Silas and V
Silas had some doubts in his mind, but he didn't forget the purpose of his pursuit.
When he heard a slight sound not far ahead, he leaned cautiously up, and in a wide corridor, he finally saw the figure of the cloaked mysterious man.
The cloaked mystery man was staggering forward at the moment, but he didn't seem to be in a good state, so he didn't notice a small tail following him, and Silas tried his best to hide his figure, and little by little he approached the mystery man.
Silas's heart has been beating drums, he chased the mysterious man, he wanted to regain Nero's wrist, but he also realized that this mysterious man didn't know what method he used, and actually turned Nero's right wrist into a knife, and at this moment this knife is in the other party's hand, if you want to snatch it, you must seize the opportunity to hit it with a blow, such a sneak attack is a test of people's psychological quality.
Before he knew it, Silas followed the mysterious man down the corridor to a room, where he suddenly stopped.
Silas was startled, and quickly stopped, finding a place to hide.
Then he heard a phrase come out of the mouth of the mysterious man: "Dante......"
Before Silas could figure out why the mysterious man would say Dante's name, he saw the mysterious man pull out the long snowy knife, clench it with both hands over the top, and then plunge it into his abdomen!
Silas was stunned, he really didn't expect that the mysterious person would come to such a commotion, he was thinking about how to make a sneak attack, but he didn't expect the other party to cut himself first!?
In the dim light, Silas saw the tip of the knife sticking out of the mysterious man's pierced back, and the blood kept spurting down the tip of the knife, and a smell of blood immediately filled the air, but the mysterious man opened his mouth without hesitation, and said in a rhythmic tone, "...... The ...... that is wrapped around this body A heavy chain that is cold to the bone...... In the name of Sparta, fade away! ”
As he spoke, Silas saw a flash of light flash from the mysterious man's back, and then saw a naked person suddenly squeezed out of the mysterious man's back!
Silas thought he was dazzled and couldn't help but rub his eyes, but then he realized that he was not mistaken, the figure was really squeezed out!
This naked man, after being squeezed out, has been lying on the ground, looking like a gossamer, and the mysterious man with a knife in his chest is kneeling on the ground at this moment, raising his head to the sky and letting out a heart-rending cry, as if at this moment, some kind of restraint has been broken free by him, and an evil, huge magic force began to emerge from his body.
Silas witnessed the process, and in the dim light, he saw the half-cut side of the mysterious man's face under his cloak, the skin on that side of the face was horribly pale, and the skin was full of purple-red veins, but when the magic began to appear, his skin began to change color rapidly, and a dark cuticle crept up his face.
This kind of magic, such a transformation, and such an aura, Silas is no stranger to it, it is the smell of demons! The mysterious person in front of him actually separated a person after stabbing himself, and turned himself into a complete demon!
Silas can be said to be drenched in cold sweat at the moment, the demon in front of him is in a state of change, his body is gradually getting bigger, and the magic power emitted is also very amazing, quickly surpassing the high-ranking demon who hijacked Silas at the beginning, and then it has continued to grow.
"Demon Lord!?" Silas was terrified in his heart, and he felt that the demonic aura in front of him was infinitely closer to his stepfather.
Originally, he had thought of sneaking up on Nero's arm to regain it, but now it was gone, and Silas only hoped that the demon could not see him, so he desperately tried to restrain his magic power to reduce his sense of existence.
The cloak on the mysterious man's body could no longer cover his original body at this time, and the ever-expanding height of his body directly broke the cloak, and a large number of trembling and disgusting flagellar-like black tissues grew out of the mysterious man's body, and a thick layer of bone carapace began to cover the mysterious man's body.
Eventually, the mysterious man turned into a giant more than three meters tall, with dancing tentacle flagellates all over his body, and some liquid dripping from his body, and I don't know if it was blood or bodily fluids, in short, it exuded a rancid fishy smell, which was disgusting.
And the long knife that was originally held in the hand of the mysterious demon was also wrapped in a layer of crystals at this moment, turning into a pillar-like thing full of spikes, and this thing just floated beside the mysterious demon, slowly spinning.
After completing its drastic transformation from human to demon, the newborn tall demon snorted and gasped, slamming its head through the wall and heading out.
Silas just watched quietly, not daring to chase after him at all, fortunately, the demon didn't seem to have any thoughts about the two people in the house, and didn't make a move on them, but after leaving the manor, he held the spike-like pillar and slashed down, opening a spatial passage again, but the difference was that on the opposite side of the spatial crack that was opened this time, there was a breath of the demon world, and there was a faint demon's roar.
And this demon, reaching out to pick open the edge of the spatial rift, drilled headlong into it.
It wasn't until a few moments after the demon had left that Silas breathed a sigh of relief and cautiously slipped out of his hiding place, first glancing at the passage that the demon had knocked through, and then at the naked man lying on the ground.
The naked man was conscious, but he seemed unable to move, only above his neck, and he was trying to lift his head at the moment, and when he saw Silas, he made a uh-uh sound that seemed to beckon Silas over.
Silas held the Scourge Spear at him, leaned over cautiously, and asked in a low voice, "You...... Who are you? Or rather...... What are you? Why is it ...... Will it come out of that guy? ”
The naked man didn't answer him, but said with difficulty, "Water...... Water ......"
Silas hesitated for a moment, but ran out to help him find water, he had too many questions to be answered now, and at the moment, it seemed that only this naked man could answer him, so he had to save the other party's life first.
There was no water or electricity in the old house for a long time, and Silas finally found a little water in a puddle outside the house, whether it was dirty or clean, and brought it back to the naked man to drink.
As a result, the fishy smell of water choked the other party and coughed......
But anyway, after being moisturized by the liquid, the man's condition was still better, and he sat up with Silas's support, and it was only at this time that Silas saw clearly that the man had a large tattoo on his body, and this kind of tattoo seemed to have a magical power, and it was a demonic power...... And his hair, which originally seemed to be white, is turning black little by little.
But what surprised Silas the most was that the man's body seemed to be in a state of collapse!
After being helped up by Silas, the man did not speak, but tried his best to control the faint magic in his body, trying to stop this state of collapse.
Silas saw what he was doing, and didn't dare to bother, just stayed and watched, while constantly looking at the big hole that had been knocked through, wary of the possibility of the mysterious demon reappearing.
Time passed little by little, and I don't know how long it was, this man actually succeeded, he used that weak magic power, he really stopped the collapse of his body, and it was not until he was completely stabilized that he slowly opened his eyes.
Silas looked at him and had to admit that although the man looked thin, he had a different kind of handsomeness.
"Thank you......" The dark-haired man began, his voice hoarse.
"Who are you?" Silas asked again.
"You can call me...... V......" said the dark-haired man.
"Okay, V......" Silas sighed, "What the hell is going on?" I saw you separate from that guy, and then that guy became...... Turned into a demon! ”
V glanced at Silas and said, "You shouldn't have come along......"
"But I'm already here!" Silas stuck the gun back into his waist, walked over and crouched down in front of V, and said, "I'm a kid, yes, but I'm not stupid!" You're the same person as the demon, aren't you? ”
“…… That's right! V lowered his head and said, "It's the same person...... indeed."
"Then you should know who that caped bastard is, right? Why did he snatch Nero's wrist? Silas kept asking, "Also, before him...... As I stabbed myself, I heard him say Dante's name, or him, or you...... Meet Dante!? ”
As soon as he heard Dante's name, V immediately raised his head, looked at Silas, and said eagerly, "You...... Do you know Dante!? ”
"Recognize! That white-haired guy...... It's a stinking ......" Silas used the adjectives he had recently learned to describe Dante.
"That's good, help, find me a dress, and take me to Dante!" V struggled to his feet.
"I'm sorry, I refuse!" Silas sat on the ground with his hands folded, twisted his head to the side, and said, "I won't help if I don't know what's going on!" ”
"It's not something a kid like you should know......" V sighed.
However, in the next second, the angry Silas pulled out the Executioner's Scythe, injected the magic power, and turned the scythe into a raging flame, saying, "Again, I'm also a half-demon!" If I'm not mistaken, your original body is the same, but under the power of that knife, your human and demonic bloodlines are separated, right!? ”
V looked at Silas' scythe in a bit of surprise, then at him again, and said, "You're also a half-demon!?" How is this possible? ”
"Nothing is impossible!" Silas withdrew his magic, waited for the flame on the scythe to be extinguished, and then inserted it back into his back, saying, "You and Dante, and even Nero, there must be a relationship between the three, although I may not be of the same blood as you, but I would love to know what is going on between you!" ”
"Difficult little ghost...... V smiled bitterly and said, "Well, if you want to know, I can tell you...... After all, you may need your strength next......"
So, in the midst of this gloomy ancient mansion, V confronts Silas with a legend that has been passed down from 2,000 years ago to the present......
