"It's so dazzling. What is this?"
After escaping the scene, Sareth found a safe place to sleep for the night, but when the next morning arrived, he was woken up by the sunlight.
When he was in Frostfire City, he could not see a celestial body like the sun. In that fragment world, Sareth had spent nine years and had never known that there was such a thing as daybreak. So after waking up, he panicked and quickly hid in the shadows of the nearby buildings, carefully peeking at the dazzling thing hanging in the sky.
Good heavens, this look almost blinded me …
After rubbing his eyes for a while, Sareth could finally see again. For a moment, he had lingering fear and felt that there were strange things everywhere in the human world.
After walking aimlessly on the streets of this city, Sareth found that the bright and dazzling thing in the sky was actually quite comfortable. It felt warm when it shone on his body, and the surrounding light became very abundant, and his vision became very clear.
At dawn, the humans in this city finally dared to come out and move, but their expressions and emotions were very terrified. Many people were whispering to their familiar friends about the explosions and fires last night, and from time to time, he could hear words like 'demon' and 'blood' from their mouths.
More people gathered in front of their televisions worriedly, wanting to watch the news about last night's events.
Walking on the streets, Sareth saw humans in a hurry. Even when these people were in a hurry, they would try their best to avoid dark corners and choose places with sunlight to walk, as though something fatal would suddenly jump out from those dark corners, afraid that they would not be able to avoid it.
"There are actually so many humans in this world? Then why didn't I see them last night? Sareth was puzzled.
What he didn't know was that no matter which city in this world, in recent years, when night fell, the streets were basically empty. No one dared to go out casually. People would hide in their homes, lock the doors and windows, and use things to block them. They would not open them until dawn. Those who could move around at night were either in the army or some people with special powers. It was like a curfew.
The reason for this phenomenon was the endless' demon sightings' and 'unimaginable massacres' in recent years …
There had always been a legend in this world. It said that about two thousand years ago, a demon king named 'Mundus' wanted to destroy the entire world, but he was stopped by a demon lord under him. This demon swordsman named Sparda betrayed his compatriots and stood on the side of humans. He sealed Demon King Mundus and sealed the channel between the human world and the Demon World. Thus, humans welcomed more than two thousand years of peaceful development.
Humans called this demon lord who betrayed his compatriots Dark Knight to express their gratitude to Sparda, and they even respected him as their savior.
However, humans were a short-lived race after all. Two thousand years was enough for humans to have more than twenty generations. Such a long time made this legend become a little vague in the human world. Now, the legend of Sparda was only treated as a myth.
Until … the figure of a demon appeared in the human world again!
It was unknown whether it was thirty or forty years ago, but from then on, there were gradually reports of demon sightings. At first, many people only treated it as a rumor and did not believe it at all. But later, there were more and more such rumors. From one in the first few years, they appeared several times a year, even dozens of times! And every time they appeared, there would be a corresponding destruction of a city.
The destruction of these cities seemed very unimaginable after the investigation. There were traces of battle everywhere, but there were no signs of bombs or other hot weapons exploding. The destroyed buildings did not look man-made at all.
In some rumors and photos of unknown sources, one could occasionally see the corpses and remains of some terrifying non-human creatures …
Therefore, the words' demon invasion 'announced in these rumors gradually became accepted by people. They firmly believed that a creature called' demon 'had appeared in the world where humans lived! No one knew where they came from, but they suddenly appeared in the human world, killed humans, sucked blood and souls, and caused immense damage and destruction.
Although various countries had been sparing no effort to block the news and claimed that the so-called demon was just a rumor, some things could not be blocked at all. In particular, about twenty years ago, a huge tower suddenly appeared in a certain country. This tower suddenly appeared from the ground and soared into the sky, far surpassing any high-rise building in the city. It extended thousands of meters into the sky and was about to touch the clouds.
At that time, millions of people in this city witnessed the appearance of this tower with their own eyes, so a large number of photos of this tower appeared afterward. In the photos, it could be seen that this tower's construction style was completely different from that of humans. It was rough, oppressive, ferocious, and dark. It was definitely not a human creation!
But this was not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing was that at the top of the tower, some people saw scarlet lightning and a huge vortex-shaped cloud. This vortex-shaped cloud churned and rotated with the tower as the center, like a huge door. Some people saw a large number of illusory and terrifying scenes through the center of the vortex. In these scenes, countless hateful monsters appeared. They were huge, surrounded by blood and flames, and they constantly let out terrifying roars … Some people even had a mental breakdown and went crazy after seeing these terrifying scenes.
Although no one knew what happened, the tower finally collapsed, and the huge vortex clouds disappeared with it. However, the place where the tower appeared was turned into ruins. After that, the army sealed off the city and moved away the surrounding residents. At the same time, a lot of investigations were carried out. However, when people asked about it, the officials used all kinds of ridiculous facts instead of explanations to brush them off.
Similar incidents happened more than once. Various non-human eyewitness reports, as well as a large number of strange and tragic deaths of humans, made people believe that demons had really appeared in the human world again.
Only then did people pick up the legend about Sparda. They believed that this legend was true. More than two thousand years ago, there really was such a demon swordsman, Sparda. Although he sealed the Demon World and Demon King Mundus, because of the greed of people, someone coveted Sparda's powerful demon power, causing the seal to be opened!
Facing the threat of demons, humans appeared so weak and helpless. Under these circumstances, worship and faith in Sparda arose, and the word savior was brought up again. Many people believed that only believing in Sparda could allow them to survive the threat of demon invasion, so various religious orders were born. They restored the image of Sparda from various documents and records and made statues of Sparda according to this image. They prayed to the statue day and night, hoping that the savior of Sparda would descend again and allow humans to obtain salvation again.
Of course, since some people placed their hopes on so-called religions, there were naturally people who placed their hopes on resistance. Some brave humans began to try to use the technological weapons created by humans to fight against these increasing demons. Through ingenious trap arrangements and tactical use, they did indeed kill some demons. Then through the study of demon corpses, they found that the parts and tissues obtained from some powerful demons carried a powerful power. Through corresponding technological means, this power could also be stimulated. And if this stimulated power was used to deal with demons, it was even more useful than technological weapons.
As a result, demon hunter organizations were born. They relied on their collective strength to hunt demons and then learn from the barbarians to subdue them. In turn, they used the power of demons to deal with demons.
However, in the battle with the demons, the demon hunters discovered that some extremely powerful demons would occasionally appear. Such demons were not something the demon hunter organizations could contend with at all. They were extremely powerful and terrifying, and once they appeared, they might even cause the destruction of an entire city.
However, the strange thing was that these extremely powerful demons were often annihilated not long after they appeared.
Thus, in the dark world of the Demon Hunters, a legend gradually spread. That was, these powerful demons were actually killed by a demon called "Devil".
Cry's firm was wiped out!
However, this legend had never been verified because very few people were able to see or encounter those powerful demons. Even if they did encounter them, they were basically all dead … However, there were more and more legends about a white-haired man in a red windbreaker in this shop …
There was no doubt that the appearance of demons had changed people's lives. This was also the real reason why Sareth could walk on the streets without being treated as a monster despite carrying a terrifying scythe and a gun on his back.
Although many people who passed by him would look at him strangely, no one had any doubts about him. People only avoided him and did not fear him.
Sareth was mistaken for a demon hunter …
But even so, Sareth still felt uncomfortable. He had never lived in the human world before, and after the novelty disappeared, all that was left was discomfort.
Especially when he smelled the aroma coming from the street and followed the aroma to find a shop selling barbecued meat. Out of curiosity, he went up to pick up a piece and ate it. However, because he didn't know how to pay, the stall owner called the police. He disliked this world even more.
Then, when the police came to arrest him, he resisted and kicked a weak human police officer until he fainted. As a result, more police officers chased after him and shot at him …
Realizing that he had caused a huge commotion, Sareth, who did not have a sense of security in this world, hurriedly fled again. Although these humans were very weak, there were too many of them. Moreover, his intuition told him that if he killed these humans, there would probably be even greater trouble waiting for him, which would not be of any help to his mission …
Therefore, on the second day after arriving in the human world, Sareth, who was fleeing in a sorry state, began to miss his mother …
