Sareth had doubts in his heart, but he did not forget why he came here.
When he heard a subtle sound coming from not far ahead, he carefully leaned forward. In a relatively wide corridor, he finally saw the figure of the mysterious cloaked man.
This mysterious cloaked man was staggering forward, but he did not seem to be in a good state, so much so that he did not notice a small tail following behind him. Sareth tried his best to hide his figure and approached the mysterious man bit by bit.
Sareth's heart was pounding. He had chased after the mysterious man to snatch back Nero's wrist, but he also realized that this mysterious man had used some unknown method to turn Nero's right wrist into a knife. At this moment, this knife was in the other party's hand. If he wanted to snatch it, he had to seize the opportunity to strike. Such a sneak attack tested one's mental fortitude.
Unknowingly, Sareth followed the mysterious man through the long corridor and into a room. After arriving here, the mysterious man suddenly stopped.
Shocked, Sareth quickly stopped and found a place to hide.
Then he heard the mysterious man say, "Dante …"
Before Sareth could figure out why the mysterious man said Dante's name, he saw the mysterious man pull out the snow-white long knife, hold it over his head with both hands, and then stab it into his abdomen!
Sareth was dumbfounded. He really did not expect the mysterious man to do such a thing. He was still thinking about how to sneak attack, but he did not expect the other party to commit suicide first!
Under the dim light, Sareth saw the tip of the knife sticking out of the mysterious man's pierced back. Blood kept spurting out from the tip of the knife, and the smell of blood immediately filled the air. But the mysterious man ignored it and said in a rhythmic tone, "… These bone-chilling, heavy chains wrapped around you … In the name of Sparda, fall away!"
With his voice, Sareth saw a flash of light from the mysterious man's back, and then a naked person suddenly squeezed out from his back!
Sareth thought that his eyes were playing tricks on him and could not help but rub them. But then he realized that he was not mistaken. The figure was really squeezed out!
This naked man had been lying on the ground ever since he was squeezed out. He looked like he was on the verge of death. Meanwhile, the mysterious man with a knife in his chest was kneeling on the ground at this moment. He raised his head and let out a heart-wrenching scream towards the sky. It was as if he had broken free from some kind of shackles at this moment, and an evil, powerful magic began to emerge from his body.
Sareth witnessed this process with his own eyes. In the dim light, he saw half of the mysterious man's face exposed under the cloak. The skin on that side of his face was terrifyingly pale, and purplish-red blood vessels were under the skin. But when this magic power began to appear, the color of his skin began to change rapidly, and a layer of pitch-black cuticle climbed onto his face.
This magic power, this transformation, and this aura were not unfamiliar to Sareth at all. It was the aura of a demon! After stabbing himself, the mysterious man in front of him not only separated himself, but also turned himself into a complete demon!
Sareth was drenched in cold sweat at this moment. The demon in front of him was gradually growing larger, and the magic power pressure he emitted was astonishing. It quickly surpassed the high-rank demon who had kidnapped Sareth and continued to grow.
"Demon Overlord?!" Sareth was terrified. He felt that the aura of this demon in front of him was infinitely close to that of his foster father.
The idea of sneak attacking and snatching back Nero's arm had long disappeared. Sareth only hoped that this demon could not see him. For this reason, he desperately restrained his magic power to reduce his presence.
The cloak on the mysterious man could no longer cover his original body. The ever-expanding height of his body caused the cloak to burst open. A large amount of disgusting flagellum-like black tissues grew out of the mysterious man's body. A thick layer of bony carapace began to cover the mysterious man's body.
Finally, the mysterious man turned into a three-meter-tall giant with dancing tentacles and flagella all over his body. Some liquid was dripping from his body, and it was unknown whether it was blood or body fluid. In short, it exuded a rancid stench that was nauseating.
The long saber in the mysterious demon's hand was wrapped in a layer of crystals and turned into a pillar-like object full of spikes. This thing floated beside the mysterious demon and slowly rotated.
After completing the drastic transformation from a human to a Demon, the newborn tall Demon panted heavily, smashed through the wall without looking back, and walked outside.
Sareth watched quietly, not daring to chase after him. Fortunately, this demon did not seem to have any thoughts about the two people in the house and did not attack them. But after leaving the manor, he held the spiked pillar and slashed it down, opening another spatial channel. But what was different was that the aura of the Demon World came from the other side of the spatial rift, and the faint roars of demons could be heard.
The demon stretched out his hand to push open the edge of the spatial rift and burrowed in.
It was not until the demon left for a long time that Sareth heaved a sigh of relief and carefully came out of his hiding place. He first looked at the passage that the demon had smashed through with lingering fear before looking at the naked man lying on the ground.
This naked man was conscious, but he seemed to be unable to move. Only the parts above his neck could move. He was trying his best to raise his head. When he saw Sareth, he made a gurgling sound as though he was beckoning Sareth over.
Sareth held Calamity at him, carefully leaned over, and asked in a low voice, "W-who are you? Or … what are you? Why did you … come out of that guy? "
The naked man did not answer him and only said with difficulty, "Water … water …"
Sareth hesitated for a moment before running out to help him find water. He had too many questions that needed to be answered, and it seemed that only this naked man could answer them, so he had to save his life first.
There was no water and electricity in this old mansion for a long time. Sareth finally found some water in a puddle outside the house. Regardless of whether it was dirty or clean, he brought it back for the naked man to drink.
As a result, the fishy smell of the water made the man choke and cough …
But no matter what, after the nourishment of the liquid, the man's condition improved a little. With Sareth's help, he sat up. Only then did Sareth see that there were large tattoos on this man's body. These tattoos seemed to have magic power, and it was magic power that originated from demons … And his hair, which seemed to be white, was turning black bit by bit.
But what surprised Sareth the most was that this man's body seemed to be in a state of collapse!
After Sareth helped him up, the man did not say anything. Instead, he tried his best to control the weak magic power in his body, wanting to stop this state of collapse.
Sareth saw what he was doing and did not dare to disturb him. He just stayed by the side and kept looking at the large hole, vigilant that the mysterious demon might appear again.
Time passed bit by bit. After an unknown amount of time, the man actually succeeded. He used the weak magic power to stop his body from collapsing. Only after he completely stabilized did he slowly open his eyes.
Sareth looked at him and had to admit that although this man looked thin and weak, he had a different kind of handsomeness.
"Thank you …" the black-haired man said, his voice hoarse.
"Who are you?" Sareth asked again.
"You can call me … V …" the black-haired man said.
"Okay, V …" Sareth sighed. "What's going on? I saw you separate from that guy's body, and then that guy became … became a demon! "
V looked at Sareth. "You shouldn't have followed …"
"But I'm already here!" Sareth put the gun back on his waist, walked over, and squatted down in front of V. "I'm a child, but I'm not an idiot! You and that demon were originally the same person, right? "
"… That's right!" V lowered his head. "It's indeed the same person …"
"Then you should know who that cloaked bastard is, right? Why did he snatch Nero's wrist? " Sareth kept asking. "Also, when he stabbed himself, I heard him say Dante's name. He or you … know Dante?!"
Upon hearing Dante's name, V immediately looked up at Sareth and said anxiously, "You … you know Dante?!"
"Yes! That white-haired guy … is very cocky … "Sareth used the adjectives he had recently learned to describe Dante.
"That's good. Help me find some clothes and then take me to Dante!" V struggled to stand up.
"Sorry, I refuse!" Sareth crossed his arms and sat on the ground. He turned his head to the side. "I won't help unless I figure out what's going on!"
"This isn't something a child like you should know …" V sighed.
But the next second, the indignant Sareth pulled out Executioner and injected magic power into it, turning it into raging flames. "I'll say it again. I'm also a half-demon! If I'm not wrong, your original body is the same. But under the power of that knife, your human bloodline and demon bloodline separated, right?! "
V looked at Sareth's scythe in surprise, then at him. "You're also a half-demon?! How is this possible? "
"Nothing is impossible!" Sareth withdrew his magic power. After the flames on the scythe extinguished, he inserted it back into his back. "You, Dante, and even Nero. There must be a relationship between the three of you. Although my bloodline might be different from yours, I really want to know what's going on between you!"
"Troublesome brat …" V smiled bitterly. "Okay, if you want to know, I can tell you … After all, I might need your strength next …"
Thus, in this dark old house, V told Sareth a legend that had been passed down from two thousand years ago …
