"2,000 years ago, the legendary demon swordsman Sparta betrayed his demonic compatriots. For the sake of the fate of mankind, he raised his sword. ”

"Despite his supreme efforts for us, I am afraid that some people have forgotten the truth of this great sacrifice."

"If the horrors of that time are to be repeated, the human world and the realm of demons will be mixed. We are fragile human beings, and we have no power to resist but to give in. ”

"So I call on everyone to be united. Pray with all our hearts that if this chaotic and dark time comes again, our Almighty Savior will protect us from this storm. ”

"Let's pray."

Dressed in white and gold bishop robes and wearing a ribbon, the Pope is preaching in the circular hall of the church.

This is the City of Destiny, a human city ruled by the legendary Demon Swordsman Sparta, so the inhabitants of this place regard Sparta as a god.

Sparta, the Demon Swordsman, can indeed be called the savior of mankind, he broke the domination of the demon world over the human world, and freed mankind from the grasp of demons completely.

The Pope, who is now leading the people in prayer, is the current ruler of the City of Destiny, the leader of the Demon Sword Order.

In a city that appears to be calm and peaceful on the surface, the Demon Sword Order is responsible for cleaning up the demons that appear on a daily basis, making the city one of the few safe places in this world.

But under the undercurrent, the truth was obscured.

Since the world was illuminated by a beam of light, it has been divided into darkness and light, the dark world is called the demon world, and the area of light is the human world.

For a long time, the two worlds coexisted in balance with each other, until the king of the demon world thought that 'the world is one, what's wrong with making it whole?' ’

So from that day on, darkness shrouded light, and the inhabitants of the human world could not fight against the demon realm at all.

Just as the light was about to be swallowed up by the darkness, fate changed.

The Demon Swordsman Sparta was cut off from his own world, called the guardian of the world, killed the Demon Emperor Mundus, and sealed all demons and corrupt people.

There have been nearly 2,000 years of peace, and although demons have appeared repeatedly, they are always within the scope of human beings.

During the prayer, everyone bowed their heads and silently expressed their admiration for the magic swordsman Sparta.

But there were always a few unsociable fellows, such as Nero, who sat on the central bench with an injured right hand and had gray and white hair, and he was tired of hearing them.

If it weren't for today's sermon having his girlfriend Eliette chosen as the singer for the festival, perhaps Nero would have preferred to hold his great sword in the battle training ground of the Demon Sword Order.

Just as Nero was looking around with some impatience, he saw fellows who also did not like the Pope's sermons.

The man was mediocre-looking, with a man and a woman sitting next to him, the woman with crimson hair, beautiful and radiant at the same time, giving people a cold feeling. The other man, as Nero cast his gaze, returned a warning look.

Nero frowned, he had never seen these three men in the City of Destiny, and just as Nero was thinking, he saw the man in the middle pointing at the Pope.

'What will go wrong with the Pope?' ’

Nero turned his head to the Pope, who bowed his head in prayer, and was caught by the mottled shadow overhead.

'There is someone above the head of the Pope!' ’

Nero was amazed to see a figure in red leather with a sword on his back slammed through the skylight of the church and landed on one knee on the long table in front of the Pope.

The sound of shattered windows and crackling glass on the ground suddenly added a little fervor to the silent prayer.

Everyone raised their heads one after another, and they saw the most terrifying scene.

The red-clad eccentric pulled out a pistol from his bosom and pulled the trigger on the Pope's head without hesitation.

After the gunshot, the red-clad monster on the table scanned the hall with blood on his face, and the horror of the Pope's attack suddenly spread through the crowd.

Nero looked at the strange man not far away, and raised his suspended right hand, the faint pain from the wound on his right hand made him know that the strange man in front of him was definitely not an ordinary person.

"Holy!"

The Pope was shot in the head, and the guards of the Demon Sword Order around him were furious. They drew their swords and surrounded the assassin who had assassinated the Pope.

However, in the face of this strange man, the soldiers of the Order did not have any power at all.

In this case, Nero immediately left with his girlfriend Jiliet, but when Jiliet turned around, he called out another person's name.

"Credo!"

Don't think about it, this is Kyliet's brother, the head of the 'Order Knights' of the Demon Sword Order, and at this moment, Credo led the Order Knights to try to keep the red-clothed monster behind.

But just by the collision of the blades, the power of the strange man directly smashed Credo away, which made Gilliet exclaim.

Helplessly, Nero hurriedly held his sword in front of Credo after his girlfriend broke free.

The red-clothed strange man approached slowly, and with great oppression, Juliet was unable to support her brother at all.

Just when everything was going to despair, Nero kicked the strange man in the face with the posture of nine days of thunder.

After kicking the other side, Nero did not hesitate to pull out his revolver with the 'Azure Rose' from his waist, this weapon that Nero had modified himself could fire two bullets at the same time.

However, the strange man forcibly twisted his body in the air and slashed the bullet with a sword.

The impact of the kick and the bullet caused the strange man to fall back and land on the statue of Sparta, the magic swordsman. The strange man stabilized his position with the help of the large sword inserted into the statue, and when he tried to draw the great sword, Nero kicked the large sword into the statue again.

The strange man drew two pistols, one black and one white, and confronted Nero's azure rose.

"Nero!"

"Jiliet, with your brother, get out of here!"

Credo got up from the ground, looked at the scene in front of him, and behind him was his sister, and made a decisive choice.

"I'll bring someone back to help!"

As the head of the Knights, Credo knew that now was not the time to sensationalize, and the swordsmen had all been defeated by the red-clad monsters, so more men and stronger weapons were necessary to defeat the monsters.

The best option now is to leave with his sister and trust Nero to hold out until he brings someone back.

Credo and Gilliette were the last to leave, and the departure of the crowd was a signal for Nero to go to war.

Nero's right hand was still bandaged, and he couldn't exert his strength at all, only to use the weapon Azure Rose to attack, followed by a deadly close hand-to-hand fight.

Hold the enemy and wait for Credo's support, that's what Nero had in mind.

But when the other party picked up the big sword, Nero had to find other ways to deal with it.

After firing the bullet in the blue rose, Nero quickly threw out the quick loader in the trench coat, ejected the blue rose's nest, and used his skillful technique to catch the bullet in the air to complete the loading.

However, when Nero pointed his gun at the original position of the red-clothed stranger, the red-clothed stranger walked out from behind him with a big sword on his shoulder.

"I guess this thing won't work for you."

Putting away the revolver, Nero picked up the big sword that had just fallen to the ground from the knight of the Order, grasped the big sword firmly in his hand, and twisted the engine on the big sword.

As the Demon Sword Cult that can control the City of Destiny, in order to fight against the invasion of demons, they naturally have their own means.

Attaching an internal combustion engine to a sword to make slashes more powerful is a cliché idea, but it can be useful.

With a physical attack sword weapon with a rushing system, it can easily slash demons and become the best help for the knights of the Order.

The sound of the engine twisting the big sword filled Rorschach's memories with memories from the sidelines.

Devil May Cry (Devil May Cry), Devil May Cry is a handsome action game that has always been a happy memory for Rorschach. Although his hands are so broken that he can only use babbling swordsmanship, the joy of the game is real.

The red-clothed monster in front of him is the absolute protagonist of the Devil May Cry series - Dante, who is the son of the legendary magic swordsman Sparta and the human woman Eva, a demon hunter with legendary experience.

As one of the children of Sparta, a demon swordsman, he has a half-human and half-demonic bloodline, inheriting his father's righteous heart and his mother's gentleness. Dante has been dealing with the demons that have come to the world, and maintaining his father's seal.

The Demon Sword Order's efforts to hunt down demons sparked an investigation by one of Dante's best friends, Letty.

The Demon Sword Order even found the severed Enma Knife of Dante's brother Virgil from other sources.

This strange action and the power that the Enma Sword can invoke made Dante suspicious, so he came to investigate the Demon Sword Order's tricks.

As for why the Pope of the Demon Sword Sect collapsed as soon as he made a move, it was just to solve unnecessary hidden dangers, such a big matter, it was almost impossible for the Pope not to participate.

In fact, at the first sight of the Pope, Dante was sure of the Pope's identity.

Now it was just a matter of playing with the little guy, but when Nero showed the demon arm from his right hand, Dante had a new plan.

Nero's bandaged right arm was as hideous as a spiked armored gauntlet, and the red bast emitted this blue light.

Previously, Nero and Elith were attacked by a demon called the Strike Demon in the forest, and they were injured by the demon in order to protect Kiliet's right hand. In the dream that followed, Nero heard a call, and it was only now that he realized that his right arm had already changed.

But now it is not the reason to investigate the mutation of the arm, Nero has the help of the demon's hand and completely and overwhelmingly repels Dante.

With just one punch, the demon's hand smashed on Dante's big sword and directly hammered Dante away. Nero followed Dante's body upside down, slammed it to the ground, and then grabbed Dante's head and threw it out.

Dante was thrown straight onto the statue of Sparta, the magic swordsman, and Nero pulled out the great sword that was stuck in the side and nailed Dante directly to the statue through his chest.

At the moment of being pierced through the chest, Dante straightened his arms as if he were suffering Jesus, and then as if he were really dead, his whole body went limp.

In Nero's opinion, the attack was complete, and now he moved his right arm, trying to cover the demonized arm.

"There is ...... improvement"

Nero turned in disbelief at the sound and looked at Dante, who was nailed to the statue, and spoke.

"I could even say that I underestimated your abilities."

As he spoke, Dante reached out to support the statue behind him, and pulled himself off with a large sword that passed through his chest.

Until he landed on the ground, Dante still had his great sword stuck in his body.

At this moment, Nero said with confidence: "You're not human, are you?" ”

"Of course, the famous son of Sparta, how can he be an ordinary human, you should look at the time when he fought your father before, the bloody battle with the knife couldn't even fall the rain."

Rorschach's voice answered Nero's question, but then it caused confusion between the two men.

"My father?"

"His dad?"

Orphaned, Nero never saw his family, and in fact lived with Gilliette and Credo as family.

And Dante used Rorschach's mouth to determine Nero's identity. That force is the same as Dante's, if it weren't for the identity confirmation, maybe Dante would have killed the little guy in front of him a long time ago.

"Yes, Virgil's child, you should call Dante in front of you the second uncle, and your father is also the son of Sparta."

Rorschach responds to the two, but all that comes to Nero is endless mysteries.

Dante took a few steps forward at the moment, leaving Nero behind to protect him.

Carrying the broadsword, Dante said half-jokingly, "Is there anything I can help?" As long as you can afford it, Devil May Cry is willing to do anything. ”

However, Rorschach shook his head and said, "No, it's for nothing to hire you now......"

With that, Rorschach stood up and was about to leave, but Dante walked over with a sliding step, stopped in front of Rorschach, and said, "How can you spend money in vain?" We can have good cooperation ......"

The great sword slammed into the ground, and Dante's words were full of threat.

However, Rorschach pointed at the swordsman of the Demon Sword Sect who fell to the ground on the side, and said, "Anyway, you are ready to kill the demons of the Order, why should I hire you for......"

Nero followed Rorschach's direction and saw that the corpse on the ground had already changed. Their eyes and mouth had turned crimson, and their original human bodies had shrunk like a parched riverbed, and the texture of their muscles and skin smelled of demonic sulfur.

Dante nodded, put his great sword on his body, and said to Rorschach, "It seems that we have the same goal? Would you like to go for a drink? ”

"Okay, let's go, I know there's a place where the wine is definitely strong."

Seeing that the inexplicable second uncle and the mysterious man reached an agreement, Nero hurriedly shouted, "What about me? What's really going on here? How can a person in the Order become a demon? And my parents, who the hell is Virgil? ”

Dante smiled wryly at the series of questions, and he really didn't know how to answer.

Does Dante want to say, I cut down your father and left him in the Demon Realm?

"Want to know all this?"

A serious voice came out of Rorschach's mouth, and Nero nodded solemnly.

"Look there!"

Nero turned around, only to see the empty church and the growing noise outside. When Nero turned his head to look, the original Rorschach and Dante were long gone.
