Chapter Eighty-Three: The Demon King Sidi
"Oh hoo!"
Moments later, Dante, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, was already riding his four-legged "mount" and jumped to the middle of the Duma Island, where the root of the demon tree was located.
What?
When did Dante have mounts?
In fact, if you look back at the place where Dante happily "walked", you can find that the demons who were originally there have all died, and the "mount" sitting under his ass is the only remaining companion.
Yes, this so-called "mount" is also a demon, it is five meters long, pitch black, on all fours, resembles a lizard, has a long tail, and a dragon head capable of spewing fire.
It stands to reason that a lizardbasilisk like this should be a very powerful being, but it was unlucky enough to meet Dante.
After being beaten by the three punches and kicks, Dante took it for a horse, rode on it, and began his own cowboy journey, and after a "long journey", the lizardbulisk finally humped Dante to his destination.
"Thanks!"
As soon as the words fell, Dante waved his right hand, and the magic sword swept and cut the very powerful lizardmonster into two pieces, turning into countless red pebbles that Dante sucked into his body.
After dealing with the lizardmonster, Dante put the magic sword on his shoulder, and then turned around and looked at the root of the demon tree:
"Okay, let me see, who the hell is...... Well! ”
However, before he could finish speaking, Dante was suddenly stunned, because he saw the two beautiful women, Tracey and Letty.
"Oh my God!"
I saw that Dante immediately rushed forward anxiously, because his two friends seemed to have been hit hard and fell to the ground!
Dante, Letty and Tracy, although they usually quarrel with each other and tear each other down, in fact, the bond between the three of them is very deep, and they know each other well.
"Damn, who the hell can beat you two crazy women!"
Dante dragged the second daughter aside one by one, patted Letty first, but unfortunately she passed out and did not react, and then Dante patted Tracy again, and the latter finally reacted.
"Uh, Dante?"
Tracy struggled to open her eyes, apparently she had been hurt so hard that she struggled to speak.
"Damn it, Tracey, tell me who did it!"
Looking at Dante's anxious face in front of her, Tracy spat out a sentence with the last of her strength: "Watch out for that blue guy." With that, he passed out.
"Blue guy?"
Dante put Tracey down and began to look up in his mind who the blue guy was among the people he knew.
And the first person to think of Dante turned out to be his brother Virgil, who made the latter like to wear blue!
"No, it can't be Virgil!"
Dante immediately shook his head and dismissed the idea.
Indeed, many years ago, Dante and Virgil often drew their swords against each other due to disagreements, and Virgil even did a lot of massacres of human beings in pursuit of throwing tiles.
If it had been Virgil at the time, he would have done something like this.
However, with the appearance of Nero, Virgil has changed, he knows that he has a son, so now Virgil has taken the initiative to make peace with Dante, and voluntarily joined Devil May Cry Agency, not only for the world his son lives in, but also to fight for his past sins.
But, if not Virgil, are there other blue guys?
None of them!
At this time, a coquettish voice suddenly sounded in mid-air:
"Oh, son of Sparta, the magic swordsman! Long time no see! ”
Dante turned around and looked up at the sky, a peerless beauty with red hair and red eyes and dark red skin was in mid-air, using the air as a staircase, walking with catwalks, slowly walking in front of Dante.
Interestingly, the woman did not wear any clothing, but covered key areas with red scales such as reptiles.
Yes, this woman is not a human, but a demon, and a high-ranking demon with intelligence.
"Who are you?"
Dante turned his head to look at the other man, but instead of making a move immediately, he said, "Have we met before?" Why do I always think you look familiar? ”
Of course, another reason why Dante didn't draw his sword right away was that the female demon was dark red all over, and she didn't look like the blue guy in Tracy's mouth.
"For you and your brother have seen me, son of Sparta, at a very young age."
The female demon walked up to Dante and introduced herself, "My name is Sitri, do you remember something?" ”
"You're Sidi?"
After hearing the name, a distant memory came to Dante's mind.
Dante and Virgil are brothers, their father is called Sparta, also known as Sparta the Demon Swordsman, a demon from hell, and their mother is named Eva, an ordinary human woman.
That's right, Sparta, the magic swordsman, is a demon who betrayed his race and fought for humanity!
Back then, when the demons opened the gates of hell and invaded the human world, it was the demon swordsman Sparta who stepped forward and cut down the entire hell with one person and one sword, saving mankind from fire and water, and finally married Eva, leaving behind two heirs, Dante and Virgil.
That's why Dante is so powerful, he has demonic blood from his father, the swordsman Sparta!
However, although the magic swordsman Sparta fought for humanity, he was also a demon himself, and of course he had many acquaintances in Hell.
Although many of these acquaintances had become hostile to Sparta after their rebellion, a small number of them still maintained good relations with them.
For example, the female demon Sidi standing in front of Dante is one of his father's acquaintances in hell.
You know, demons worship tile throwing (power), after the demon swordsman Sparta cut down the entire hell with one sword and one sword, although he became a traitor to hell, but also let all the demons admit that Sparta has a powerful tile throwing, and then worship and even love.
That Sidi fell in love with Sparta at that time, and more importantly, Sidi himself was among the demons and belonged to the group that was not interested in the human world, so he was not hostile to Sparta in his personal position, which led to the two even having a history of affairs later......
Unfortunately, Sidi did not end up with Sparta, otherwise the two brothers, Dante and Virgil, would probably not exist.
Although Sparta chose the human Eva as his partner, Sidi did not resent him, and even after Eva gave birth to the brothers, he turned into a human to visit his old friend, which is why Dante has a vague memory of Sidi.
But......
"Sidi, if I'm not mistaken, you should also be one of the demon kings of hell!"
Dante raised his magic sword and looked at Sidi, his eyes gradually becoming fierce.
"Yes, son of Sparta."
Sidi admitted without hesitation, "I know what you want to ask, that's right, I planted the Hell Demon Tree!" ”
"Sure enough, it's you!"
As soon as the words fell, Dante's magic sword was like a bullet out of the chamber, stabbing directly at Sidi, and the latter's reaction was also extremely fast, with both hands together, clamping the sword body of the magic sword from the left and right sides, and holding it to the death!
However, Dante's blow was not intended to hurt Sidi, all he wanted to do was to push his opponent away from the unconscious Tracey and Lettie.
Therefore, Dante's blow was not only a straight stab, but also a sliding step of both feet, and Sidi had to be forced to keep retreating under this impact, until his back was against the roots of the demon tree, which stopped the retreat.
"Demon Tree Seeds are also rare in Hell, and it is impossible for ordinary demons to have them."
Sidi, who knew that he had no way out, immediately shot red light in his eyes, forced Dante back, and continued:
"Son of Sparta, do you want to ask next, why did I, the demon king who is not interested in humans, invade the human world, and plant a demon tree to absorb human life?"
"Ha, Sidi, you may know my father well, but you don't know me!"
I saw Dante dodge Sidi's red light with a backflip, put away the magic sword, ebony and white ivory spears in his hands, and spat out deadly flames towards the other party!
"Whatever the reason, if you invade the human world, then I must defeat you!"
With a wave of his right index finger, a pale red translucent circular protective shield completely enveloped it, and the bullets fired by Dante could only leave countless ripples on the protective shield, but they could never penetrate it!
"Son of Sparta, for your father's sake, I give you a word of advice."
After blocking Dante's attack, Sidi did not immediately launch a counterattack, but said: "Leaving Duma Island now, leaving things here alone, is the most beneficial choice for you, your brothers, and friends!" ”
Seeing that the two-gun attack was ineffective, Dante simply stopped shooting, but turned the gun with his finger very coquettishly, and said at the same time: "Sidi, you know, this is impossible!" ”
"Well, it's just as stubborn as your dad! No wonder he disappeared. ”
Sidi, who was in the protective shield, put his right hand against his forehead, then shook his head, showing a disappointed expression, and then continued:
"Son of Sparta, listen!"
Dante, on the other side, put away his two guns, put his right hand to his ear, and took advantage of the situation to say to Sidi: "Speak quickly, I'll listen!" ”
Sidi then spoke: "Your eyes are always on this world, but have you ever looked up at the sky above?" ”
As he spoke, Sidi even raised his right hand and pointed to the sky with his index point.
Dante glanced up at the sun in the sky, then lowered his head and said to Sidi, "I'm sorry, but I only saw a dazzling sun in the sky." ”
"Hmph, that's true!"
Sidi sneered and said:
"Then I'll put it bluntly, in the universe we are in, a force that is older than the universe itself has risen, or it won't be long before all life in the universe, whether it is mortals, demons, or even demons like you, must make a choice!"
"Is it on the side of the ancient forces, or is it on the side of the universe now, against the ancient forces?"
Dante could feel that Sidi was not lying, and the ancient forces in her mouth were definitely not referring to the demons of hell represented by Sidi.
So, Dante put away his usual frivolous attitude and asked Sidi solemnly, "What exactly are the ancient forces you are talking about?" ”
Sidi looked at Dante and said, "......
