"You … you're saying that Dante is a descendant of Sparda?!"
V was only halfway through his story when he mentioned the identities of Dante and Vergil, but when he heard this, Sareth's eyes almost popped out.
He did not expect that the white-haired guy who had been with him for several days was actually one of Sparda's children!
Seeing Sareth's surprised expression, V was a little puzzled. "What? Didn't he tell you this?"
"No …" Sareth shook his head and then scratched his red hair angrily. "Damn it! No wonder that guy has been stopping me from investigating Sparda. So his father is Sparda … "
Although Sareth knew that Dante and Nero were both half-demons, Dante had not told him about his origins, so Sareth had not thought about it. He thought that Dante and Nero were just the descendants of a demon and a human. Now that he learned from V's story that Dante's father was Sparda, Sareth suddenly realized that Dante did not like people investigating his father, so he stopped him.
At this moment, Silas had yet to understand that Dante and the others had stopped him from investigating not because they did not like Silas investigating his father, Sparda, but because Silas investigating Sparda might lead to serious consequences …
After hearing Sareth's annoyed words, V frowned and asked, "Are you investigating Sparda? Why? "
V was actually Vergil's human side. With the help of Yamato, although Vergil had separated him, V had also inherited all of Vergil's memories, and Sparda was also Vergil's father. When V heard that Sareth was investigating Sparda, he also found it strange.
Sareth did not hide it from him and told him about the Demon Bible. When V heard the term Demon Bible stele, he was at a loss at first, but after thinking about it for a while, his eyes suddenly sharpened.
Then he asked Sareth calmly, "Why are you looking for this?"
Sareth scratched his head. "It's just a mission of mine. My foster father asked me to find it. As for what it's used for, I actually don't know."
Hearing this, V heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, he had the same misunderstanding as Dante and the others at the beginning. He thought that the foster father Sareth mentioned was a human, so V said, "I have some impression of this thing …"
"Oh?!" Sareth's eyes lit up as he quickly asked, "You've heard of it. Can you tell me?"
"Don't worry, my story isn't over yet …" V continued. "… Vergil lost the duel with Dante and chose to fall into the Demon World. There, he challenged Mundus, but unfortunately, he failed again. Then he was controlled by Mundus and became a puppet, losing his memories. Then he encountered Dante again and was defeated by Dante again … This was a great humiliation for Vergil!"
"That's true …" Sareth felt that he could understand. If it were anyone else, their pride would be hurt after being defeated by their younger brother one after another, right?
"Therefore, defeating Dante has become Vergil's last obsession!" V continued. "Unfortunately, the heavy injuries he suffered in several battles put Vergil in a very dangerous state of collapse. In addition, he believed that his repeated defeats were caused by the weak human side of his bloodline, so in order to save himself and become stronger, he chose to turn himself into a pure demon …"
Hearing this and combining it with the scene he had seen earlier, Sareth finally understood. He pointed at V in surprise. "You … you're Vergil, right? Or are you Vergil's human side? "
"… That's right!" V struggled to stand up from the ground. "Brat, the reason why I'm telling you so much is to let you understand the danger of this matter. You saw the demon who just left. He's the coldest and most evil side of Vergil. He inherited Vergil's obsession, and he will definitely find a way to kill Dante to complete his revenge. He's gone to the Demon World now, but when he returns, he will definitely descend with a large number of demons. At that time, not only will Dante be in danger, but the entire human world will be in danger!"
Without waiting for Sareth to respond, V grabbed Sareth's wrist tightly. "You have to help me! Help me find Dante and tell him what happened here! "
In fact, for V to be able to say these words and think of informing Dante, his only family, it could be seen that Vergil was actually a brother-con in his bones. If Roy were here, he might have sighed. A certain Itachi is also …
Agitated, V coughed crazily again. Sareth could tell that his current physical condition was not good, which was why he had asked him for help. Otherwise, he would not have said so much and explained so much to a stranger like him … Well, of course, it might also be because he heard that he knew Dante and Nero.
"I can help you …" Sareth scratched his head and said in distress, "But I came with the spatial rift, and I don't know where I am now. How can I go back like this?"
"It doesn't matter. I know where this is …" V raised his head and looked at an old photo hanging on the wall with a nostalgic expression. There was a man, a woman, and two similar-looking children in the photo … After a while, V came back to his senses. "This is Red Grave City … As long as we go out and find a map, we can think of a way back."
"Okay!" Sareth said. "Then I'll help you find Dante, but you have to tell me about the Demon Bible stele, okay?"
"Deal!" V nodded weakly.
Seeing that the agreement had been reached, Sareth did not waste any more time. He roared, and blazing flames immediately rose from his body. Under his control, these flames gathered behind him and turned into a pair of flame wings.
This was also a harvest from Sareth's recent increase in strength. These flame wings were not the pair when he transformed into a demon and could only be regarded as a way to use magic power. But with these flame wings, Sareth could barely fly, so he grabbed V's arm with both hands and dragged him out of the manor.
It could not be helped. With Sareth's height and arm length, it was impossible for him to carry an adult like V, so he could only fly with V hanging …
While Sareth and V were looking for a way back, another scene was happening in the small town of Fortuna.
The mysterious man who suddenly appeared snatched Nero's right arm, causing him to lose a lot of blood and fall into a coma. After Nico and Kyrie hurriedly bandaged Nero to stop the bleeding, they finally remembered that Sareth had rushed into the spatial rift. But they could not find him, so they had no choice but to ask Dante for help. But when they tried to call Dante's phone, they found that it had stopped working!
"Damn it! He owes money?! Why did he owe money at the critical moment?! "Nico was dumbfounded. It seemed like she did not know much about Dante's current financial situation.
"Let's try calling Lady or Trish …" Kyrie suggested.
"Okay, what's the number?" Nico asked while holding her phone.
The next second, Kyrie was stunned. "I … I don't know …"
Not only did she not know, but even Nero did not know. He did not have much contact with Trish and Lady. Even if he did, it was through Dante.
She could not count on Trish and Lady. In the end, Kyrie had no choice but to call the landline number of Dante's shop.
This landline number could be connected, but unfortunately, no one answered after ringing for a long time. Only then did Nico remember that after Dante and the others returned, they had probably gone to search for clues about the Demon Bible and Vergil, so it was normal that they were not in the shop.
But this way, it meant that she could not contact Dante, nor could she tell him what had happened to Nero.
"There's no other way. Let's take care of Nero first …" Nico sighed.
However, Nico did not know that it would be a month before she could see Dante again …
… …
May 2nd, 10: 14 in the morning.
Sareth and V finally arrived in the city where Dante's shop was.
Sareth wanted to go straight to Dante, but V stopped him.
He said, "Sareth, I don't want Dante to know my identity. Please don't tell him, okay?"
"Okay … you have the final say." Sareth nodded. He could roughly guess V's current mood, so he asked, "Then how do you plan on telling him about this?"
"It's very simple. Just use your identity as a client!" V opened a poetry book in his hand and smiled. "This is an exorcism, isn't it? It's best to let a professional demon hunter do it. "
