April 28th, 10: 40 PM.
The small town of Fortuna was already silent. Like other cities, no one dared to go out at night. They hid in their homes, sealed the doors and windows, and lit the lights, hoping that these lights could dispel the terrifying darkness in the night and make dawn come earlier.
But there were also people who were not afraid of the fear in the silent night … At this moment, several figures were gathered in a small forest not far from Nero's shop.
Although Kyrie had already coaxed Silas to sleep, Dante, Nero, Trish, Lady, and Nico were worried that their discussion would wake Silas up, so they set the location of the discussion here.
What Sareth said during the day had really shocked everyone, especially Trish.
She was a demon, and she was a demon created by Demon Emperor Mundus to confuse Dante. She had an extremely similar appearance to Dante's mother, Eva. Although she looked human, she was actually a proper demon … Even if she was a created demon, in her understanding, the Demon World was the hometown of demons, and she had always thought so.
However, everything Sareth said overturned everything she knew.
From Sareth, she learned that the so-called Demon World was only a so-called outpost. Behind the Demon World, there was a world called the Abyss, and it was the hometown of all demons in the Infinite Worlds. She originally thought that Demon Emperor Mundus was the most powerful and terrifying demon, but through Sareth's description, she realized that there might be many demons like Mundus in the Abyss …
Every time they thought of this, everyone felt a deep sense of powerlessness and despair because they could not imagine what it would be like for a group of demons as strong as Mundus to appear together.
Perhaps, that would be the true doomsday …
Nico smoked silently, Trish and Lady did not say a word, and Dante and Nero paced back and forth. Everyone's minds were in a mess.
Fortunately, this strange atmosphere did not last long. Dante was the first to break the silence and spread his hands. "Hey, don't be like this. Are we going to be like this until dawn? Come and give your opinions on how to deal with this brat Sareth! "
"Is there even a need to think about it?" Trish said. "Behind that child is a powerful demon lord comparable to Sparda. No matter what he wants to do by letting Sareth come to this world, it's definitely not a good thing. So my opinion is to nip the problem in the bud and directly capture Sareth! Or kill him directly! In short, we can't let him mess around in this world. "
"Hey hey, he's just a kid!" Nicole immediately retorted, "Maybe he's just being used by his foster father. Is there a need to be so extreme?"
However, Trish went tit for tat. "It is precisely because he might be used by the devils that we must stop him. Are we going to let him go just because he is a child? As you can see, Sareth is a child raised by a demon. His worldview and understanding are exactly the same as a demon's. He's just a demon in human skin! "
"Hey, you're talking like you're not a demon in human skin!" Nicole's mouth was also poisonous. She retorted, "You are a demon yourself. Are you also on the side of demons?"
"It's not the same!" Trish said weakly.
At this moment, Lady said, "I think Nicole is right. Even if Sareth has the worldview and understanding of demons, just like you, Trish, it's not impossible to change this view …"
Trish looked at Lady and shut up resentfully.
Although Trish and Lady often argued tit for tat when it came to Dante, the two women were actually very good friends in private. Lady's words were actually biased towards Trish, so Trish could not say anything.
Seeing that the three women were not arguing for the time being, Nero quickly said, "Actually, I think we don't seem to have grasped the point. Although Sareth's foster father is a powerful demon, don't you remember? Sareth said that his foster father can't come to our world for the time being! "
"That's right!" Dante said. "The more powerful a demon is, the harder it is to appear in the human world. After fighting demons for so many years, I've discovered this. Moreover, it seems that this rule is not only effective against the demons of the Demon World but also the Abyss that Sareth mentioned."
"So, we actually don't need to worry about Sareth for the time being!" Nero concluded. "What we should really care about is the Demon Bible stele he mentioned. Although we still don't know what use this thing has, we can prepare for the worst. This Demon Bible stele can help Sareth's foster father, that powerful demon lord, enter our world! In that case, can't we just find this Demon Bible stele before Sareth? "
"That's also a solution!" Lady nodded. "No matter what the demon behind Sareth wants to use him for, we just need to destroy his plans."
"But the biggest problem is …" Dante smiled bitterly and spread his hands. "We don't know what the stele looks like and where it is …"
"This isn't actually a bad thing!" Nico exhaled a mouthful of smoke and smiled. "Since even we locals don't know about it, it should be very difficult for Sareth to find it himself, right?"
"That's true …" Trish nodded. "However, we can't be too careful. I think that regardless of whether Sareth can find it or not, we should think of a way to get hold of this thing. As long as we hide it, we can absolutely prevent Sareth from succeeding."
"That's true, but we don't have any clues!" Dante spread his hands.
"No, maybe there's someone who knows!" At this point, Lady stared at Dante intently. The others gradually understood, so all their gazes turned to Dante.
Of course, Dante understood what Lady was referring to and paced back and forth in annoyance.
Dante had indeed never heard of the Demon Bible, but there was one person who might have heard of it, and that was Dante's brother, Vergil!
When the demons attacked Dante's family in retaliation, Dante's mother, Eva, hid Dante and died to protect him. Although the incident back then had caused Dante to be traumatized, Eva made him feel deep maternal love in the depths of his heart. Therefore, when he grew up, although he was rebellious on the surface, his heart was as passionate as fire, and he could feel more humanity from him.
Vergil, on the other hand, had been separated from Eva and Dante due to an accident, so he had struggled to survive by himself in the end. Moreover, by chance, he had gone to the Demon World, where he could only fight demons alone and survive alone and with great difficulty. This led to Vergil's understanding that strength was everything, and only those with great strength could survive. Especially after learning of his mother's death, he realized that only great strength could protect the important things.
Precisely because of this understanding, Vergil could be said to be very cold after he grew up, and his values were worlds apart from Dante's …
All along, Vergil, who had an extreme desire for power, had been searching for the power of their father, Sparda, everywhere. From the Demon World to the human world, Vergil had always been following his father's footsteps. Therefore, if there was someone in this world who knew Sparda the best, it was definitely Vergil. If Sparda really had a stele like the Demon Bible, then the only person who might know its whereabouts was Vergil.
However, this was what troubled Dante. He had lost contact with Vergil for a long time, so he had no idea where Vergil was.
Yamato, the weapon that Vergil had always carried with him, was currently in Nero's demon right arm. And Nero had obtained Yamato during the incident of the Order of the Sword five years ago. In other words, it had been at least five years since Dante had lost contact with Vergil. In fact, if he wanted to trace it back in detail, it should have been ten years ago when Trish appeared and led Dante to the Island of Saint and Demon Blend. At that time, Dante had encountered a sword-wielding dark knight. At that time, Dante did not know who it was. Only after defeating it did he learn that it might be his brother, Vergil, from an identical necklace left behind by the dark knight (Devil May Cry 2 plot).
Therefore, there had been no news of Vergil all these years. How could it be possible for Dante to suddenly find Vergil and ask about the Demon Bible …
"How about this!" In the end, Dante had no choice but to say, "Let's go back first and try our best to investigate some things about Sparda back then. Although it's been a long time, we might be able to find something. In addition, we can also try to ask Morrison for help. He has more sources of information, and he might have some unexpected discoveries … As for Vergil … I don't think we can count on him …"
"It seems that this is the only way …" Trish spun the guns in her hands. The two guns in her hands were actually one of Sparda's relics. They were called 'Light and Shadow', and they were once Sparda's guns. In addition, there was also a Sword of Power, but this sword had been used to seal the Demon World's tower, Terminig. There were only a few relics left by Sparda, and they could only think of various ways to find the Demon Bible stele.
"Sareth will stay with you for now!" Dante said to Nero. "You and Nico keep an eye on him. Don't let him run around. If he really wants to leave, knock him out and tie him up!"
Nero shrugged. "We'll talk about it when we have no choice! In any case, if we really do that, the trust that we've built up with him with so much difficulty will be ruined again … "
"But it's better than letting him attract a powerful demon, right?" Dante patted Nero's shoulder. "I'll leave it to you!"
With that, he called out to Trish and Lady, and the three of them drove back to the city where the shop was located. Nero and Nico watched them leave.
Along the way, Trish drove, and Dante sat in the front passenger seat with his hands behind his head without saying a word.
"Virgil, where are you?" Dante thought.
He did not know if Dante was a jinx, but what he did not know was that not long after he left, a swaying figure appeared in the small town of Fortuna …
April 30th was the beginning of another incident …
