Perhaps it was an inexplicable connection. Just as Sareth was feeling lonely because he could not get used to human society and began to miss his mother, Cassandra, who was far away in the Abyss, was also feeling a little restless.
She came to the demon hall and found Roy with a hesitant expression. "Master, I …"
Roy was playing with the Demon Bible stele in his hand. Seeing that she wanted to say something but hesitated, he immediately understood what she was thinking. With a flick of his wrist, the Demon Bible disappeared. He lowered his head and asked Cassandra, "Why? Are you worried about Sareth?"
"Yes!" Cassandra nodded. "He's been gone for so long. I wonder how he's doing now."
Roy tapped his finger on the armrest of his chair. "Your contract connection with him is still intact, isn't it?"
Indeed, the contract between Cassandra and Sareth was a parenting contract that Cassandra had voluntarily established to take care of Sareth. Because she had become a lich, she had lost some of her normal human senses. But through this parenting contract, she could clearly know Sareth's condition. Whether he was hungry or sick, happy or sad, she could clearly convey it to Cassandra. Although Sareth was not by her side now, as long as the contract was fine, it meant that he was fine.
"The contract is intact, but …" Cassandra replied. "That child seems to be in a depressed mood. I don't know what happened …"
Roy thought for a while before standing up from his chair. "I can roughly guess. Sareth's situation is too special. Look, he's a child raised by undead, demons, and fallen angels! From the moment he began to accept the world, what he saw was a world that belonged to demons. His three views were influenced by all of us, but he was a half-demon and had a human side. "
Roy walked in the hall, and Cassandra floated behind him and listened. Roy did not look back as he said to Cassandra, "You were once a human, so of course you should understand the ugly side of human nature. Although Sareth has gone to the human world as a human, he will always feel that he's incompatible with humans. And when he sees the ugly side of human nature, what do you think he will do?"
"He should … act in the manner of demons, right?" Cassandra thought for a while.
"Yes, one hundred percent!" Roy nodded. "So I think there's no need for you to worry. This is a stage that Sareth must go through. He must face up to the part of his human bloodline. In the process of getting along with humans, what humans do to him will have an impact on his cognition. In the end, whether he recognizes his human bloodline or gives up his human bloodline depends on this trip to the human world!"
"Cassandra!" If Sareth finally recognizes his human bloodline, then I will let him leave because he's not suitable to stay in the Abyss. But if he gives up his human bloodline, then I will completely transform him into a demon so that he can stay in the Abyss forever. Only then will I have a reason to protect this Child of Taboo. Do you understand what I mean? "
"I understand, Master!" Cassandra nodded. She actually understood Roy and Benia's dilemma.
This was the Abyss, the homeland of demons. The existence of Sareth, the Child of Taboo, was actually challenging the bottom line of demons. Roy was a demon lord, so no one could interfere with Sareth's existence in his territory. But the problem was that a demon lord like Roy was not invincible. Above him, there were still demon kings, Deadly Sin Demon Kings, and the like. If one day Sareth's existence attracted the attention of demon kings and they wanted him to hand him over or order Roy to kill him, what should Roy do?
Therefore, getting Sareth to go to other worlds this time was not only to get him to help Roy investigate some things but also to train him …
"Do you know? In the world Sareth went to, he's not the only half-demon! " Seeing that Cassandra was still a little worried, Roy suddenly said, "There are two other half-demons in that world!"
"What?! How is this possible?! "Cassandra cried out in surprise.
"It's true!" Roy said seriously. "I told you before that I wanted Sareth to investigate Demon Lord Sparda. Do you still remember?"
Cassandra nodded. She had been present when Roy described the mission to Sareth.
"Those two half-demons are the children left behind by Sparda. They're twins born to him and a human!" Roy explained. "Demon Lord Sparda is a famous' traitor 'in the entire Abyss! From the rift demon who told me the information, I heard him say that when the news of Sparda betraying his compatriots spread to the Abyss, it caused a sensation in most of the Abyss. Many powerful demons even specially went to that world from the Abyss to kill Sparda. But unfortunately, Sparda was strong enough. Many demons who wanted to execute him never returned …
"More than two thousand years is a very long time, so long that even demons will forget many things," Roy said. "During this period of time, the number of demons entering that world gradually decreased. After all, the Abyss is connected to the Infinite Worlds, and it's impossible for all demons to go to one world. Moreover, Sparda knew that he could not face the endless number of demon executioners, so he chose to live in seclusion to reduce his sense of existence. Then Sparda took the opportunity to think of a way to close the channel between the Abyss and that world. So in the past one to two hundred years, the demons in the Purgatory Space of that world can't return to the Abyss, causing news about Sparda to become unknown."
"The channel is closed?" Cassandra was puzzled. "Then why can you send Sareth over now?"
"This is the reason I mentioned before about the two half-demon children of Sparda …" Roy said. "The rift demon who told me the information had been staying in the Purgatory Space over there. According to him, not only did Sparda close the channel between the Abyss and the Purgatory Space, but he also closed the channel between the Purgatory Space and the human world. He and countless demons were trapped in that Purgatory World for many years, but for some reason, Sparda married a human woman and gave birth to two half-demon twins. Perhaps in order to leave an inheritance for his descendants, Sparda divided his power into two and gave it to the two half-demon children along with the key to seal the channel, causing Sparda's strength to decrease greatly, and the seal between the channels to weaken. The rift demon took this opportunity to return to the Abyss from the Purgatory World there …"
"So that's how it is …" Cassandra nodded thoughtfully. "This should be something that happened recently, right?"
"Yes, it happened in recent decades. The rift demon can't tell exactly how long it has been. His concept of time is already chaotic," Roy said. "According to him, ever since the seal loosened, the demons of the Purgatory Space have been heading to the human world under Mundus's instructions to kill the two half-demon children of Sparda."
"In that case, aren't the demons there very hostile to half-demons?!" Cassandra suddenly realized a huge problem. "Sareth is also a half-demon. Once the demons know his identity, won't he be in the same danger?!"
"Although Sareth is still a child, the two children of Sparda have already grown up and obtained formidable power!" Roy said. "If the demons discover Sareth's identity, the two half-demons will also discover his identity. If I'm not wrong, they might help Sareth."
There was one thing that Roy did not say. Although he did not know the specific situation of the Devil May Cry world, Dante and Vergil should still be there. It depended on whether it was Dante or Vergil who would help Sareth.
The two children of Sparda had different experiences when they were young, resulting in different personalities in the end. Dante recognized his human bloodline, so he had always been hunting demons to help humans, while Vergil recognized his demon bloodline more. In order to pursue powerful strength, he became cold and ruthless. These two half-demons were like Sareth's role models, and it depended on which one he would choose in the end … However, Roy's explanation could not make Cassandra feel at ease.
But Roy's explanation could not make Cassandra feel at ease. Looking at the icy aura spreading all over Cassandra's body because of her anxiety, Roy had no choice but to say coldly, "Cassandra, you have to understand that danger definitely exists, but this is Sareth's personal experience. You can't destroy his experience because you're worried about him. Unless he takes the initiative to summon you, I won't allow you to go to that world to help him. Do you hear me?"
"Yes, Master …" Cassandra sighed and floated away from the hall.
Watching her leave, Roy could not help but shake his head. Cassandra was actually so emotional when it came to Sareth. Could she be a fake lich?
I wonder if it's because of my demon blood … After all, Cassandra did not transform into a lich through a ritual …
Putting aside his thoughts, Roy sat back on the throne and continued to study the Demon Bible.
In the Devil May Cry world, Sareth, who did not know what was happening in the Abyss, was still working hard to complete Roy's entrustment …
