No matter how inferior Dante thought Urizen's name was, when he faced Urizen, he realized how powerful this demon was.
Dante, Trish, and Lady attacked Urizen with all sorts of methods. But Urizen only sat on the throne that symbolized his identity and did not move at all before defeating all three of them.
Trish and Lady were sent flying and fell unconscious. They lay on the ground, and it was unknown whether they were dead or alive. Dante could still hold on for a while, but in his human form, his attacks were completely ineffective against Urizen. He was sent flying again and again, and after a while, Dante became panting and covered in wounds.
When Dante was sent flying for the last time, he could not get up for a long time. Urizen sat on the throne, and the blood-sucking roots spread toward Dante, wanting to suck his blood away.
At this moment, Nero and V arrived. Seeing that something was wrong, Nero shot at the vines that were spreading over, repelling them and saving Dante.
"Heh … It seems like this trip wasn't a complete waste of time …" Nero mocked himself and then shouted at Urizen, "Hey! Idiot over there! Didn't your mother teach you that stealing isn't a good habit? "
As he spoke, Nero could not help but stretch out his left hand to touch his bandaged right wrist. Of course, he knew that this demon in front of him was very powerful. Did he not see how badly Dante was beaten? But no matter how powerful he was, Nero had to go because this guy in front of him was the bastard who snatched his right wrist!
Nero reached out and pulled out the Crimson Queen from his back. He stabbed the hilt into the ground with one hand, twisted the energy valve a few times, and said to Dante, who was still struggling to get up, "Sorry, Dante. I'll take care of this guy …"
"Wait … wait!" Dante, who was lying on the ground, hurriedly said, wanting to stop Nero's impulse, but it was useless. Nero had already rushed forward with his knife.
Then … Then Nero was quickly beaten back!
Even Dante was no match for him, and Nero, who no longer had his demon right arm, was even worse. Without being able to activate the demon bloodline in his body, he was only a slightly stronger human. Facing the defense line set up by Urizen's needle floating in the air, Nero could not even break through. After a few exchanges, he was sent flying and slammed into a pillar of the hall before falling with a loud bang.
Seeing Nero's face covered in blood and unable to get up for a long time, V, who was still at the entrance, was at a loss.
Although he had found Dante and wanted to use his power to kill Urizen, V did not expect this demon that had separated from his body to be so powerful.
"Oh, it's over, it's all over!" The demon crow flying beside V could not help but cry out when it saw this scene.
Urizen, who was sitting on the throne, seemed to feel bored. He raised one hand and aimed at Dante and Nero on the ground. Immense magic power began to gather in his palm as he prepared to use this attack to completely kill the two ants in front of him.
Nero naturally saw the fireball appearing in Urizen's palm. However, his entire body was in pain, and he could only watch the fireball grow larger and larger …
Just as Nero thought that he was going to die, a gunshot suddenly rang out. A magic power bullet hit Urizen's palm and interrupted the magic power he was gathering.
Nero turned his head and found that it was Dante, who had already stood up. He was pointing Ebony and Ivory at Urizen, and there was still some smoke dissipating from the muzzle of the gun.
"Let's fight the second round, bastard!" Dante said to Urizen, panting heavily.
With that, Dante spread his arms, and magic power quickly surged on him. The next second, Dante's human appearance disappeared, and in its place was a ferocious demon with red and black skin!
Nero recognized at a glance that this was Dante's demon form.
Dante stretched out his hand and pulled out Rebellion from his back. The pair of demon wings on his back suddenly spread, and he flew toward Urizen. He instantly arrived in front of Urizen and slashed down.
Clang! With a loud bang, Urizen raised his right hand and easily blocked Dante's slash. Even Dante's sword could not touch Urizen's body. Half a meter in front of Urizen, an invisible force field stopped him from continuing forward.
"Ahh!" Dante roared and surged all the magic power in his body, wanting to break through this force field. As the magic power of both sides collided, the entire hall began to shake violently.
No matter how hard Dante tried, he could not break through the barrier of this force field. This made Dante realize that the gap between the two sides was too great, so he turned around and shouted at V, "V! Take Nero out of here! We made a mistake! "
Hearing Dante's roar, Nero gritted his teeth and stood up. He shouted unwillingly, "No, I can still fight!"
"Nero, let's go!" Dante roared. "You're just a burden here!"
"What?!" Nero wanted to rush forward indignantly, but at this moment, a boulder fell from above and was about to hit Nero. Fortunately, V reacted quickly and pulled Nero back.
After pulling Nero back, V pushed Nero, wanting to take him away. He knew that Dante was right. Not everyone could be buried here. If he left Nero behind, there would still be a chance of survival. He could accumulate strength again and come back for revenge.
The tremors and shaking became more and more intense, and boulders kept falling from above. The hall was about to collapse. Although Nero was unwilling, V hugged him tightly and brought him out of the hall.
"Don't be like this. Let's go!" V pulled Nero. "We have to leave. He's much stronger than we imagined!"
"That bastard actually called me a burden … We've already come this far. We can't let all our efforts go to waste!" Nero roared.
The boulders that kept falling began to bury the entrance. After pushing Nero out of the entrance, V pressed down on his shoulder. "Don't be vexed. Think of a way to become stronger and then help! If Dante loses, you're the only one who can defeat Urizen … "
Perhaps it was V's words that moved Nero. He finally stopped insisting and allowed V to support him as they escaped from the tree.
Dante, who had stayed behind to fight Urizen, could no longer hold on after Nero and the others left. Urizen turned his palm into a fist and punched Dante's sword fiercely. A powerful impact suddenly erupted and shattered Dante's Rebellion!
Dante screamed and flew backward. The demon form on his body disappeared, and he returned to his human form before smashing into the ground with a bang.
Rebellion, which only had a hilt left, tumbled and landed beside Dante. Under Urizen's cold and emotionless gaze, countless boulders fell and buried Dante and the others …
DevilMayCry's operation ended in a fiasco …
Urizen, who was sitting on the throne, looked at the collapsing hall and slowly stood up. The roots that had been connected to him on his back were also brought up.
In fact, the reason why he had been sitting on this throne was that he was supplying magic power to the Qliphoth. This was also the reason why the Qliphoth had grown so tall. Before the fruit of the Qliphoth fully matured, Urizen had to maintain the supply of magic power and could not cut off his connection with these roots, so he could only sit like this.
But now that this place had collapsed, it naturally could not be used anymore. Urizen planned to find another place to place his throne.
As for the lives of Dante and the others, Urizen did not think too much about it. The difference in strength was too great, and Dante and the others were like ants to Urizen. So what if they died? So what if they lived? Urizen did not take it to heart at all …
On the other side, Nero and V rushed out of the exit of the Qliphoth. Turning around, Nero looked at the giant tree behind him. He knew that Dante and the others were probably dead, but he still held some hope in his heart that Dante was not dead.
Hold on, Dante. I'll be back soon … Nero thought as he left with V.
Not long after Nero and the others left, the Qliphoth became restless again. Its roots buried deep underground began to hunt humans again. Not only that, but inside the Qliphoth, spatial rifts opened one after another, and a large number of demons emerged from these spatial rifts and scattered into the tree. After the number reached a certain level, these demons began to fly out of the Qliphoth under Urizen's orders to hunt humans outside the tree and then bring back human corpses to supply blood to the Qliphoth.
All of Red Grave City fell into a complete disaster, and the cities around Red Grave City were not spared either. They also became the hunting grounds of the demons …
Although panic spread on the humans' side, they still gritted their teeth and fought back. More fighter jets took off with cruise missiles to attack the Qliphoth. Unfortunately, the missiles they fired this time could not even detonate because after Urizen reinstalled the throne, the surroundings of this giant tree were protected by an enormous spatial barrier!
This spatial barrier was huge, but it was mainly concentrated on the upper half of the Qliphoth. This was because the crown of the Qliphoth had already borne fruit. In order to prevent others from touching it, Urizen protected it with a barrier.
Being able to use such powerful spatial power and magic was the embodiment of Urizen's strength as a demon lord …
With the protection of the barrier, the human missiles could not attack the Qliphoth at all. After the missiles came into contact with the invisible spatial barrier, they either detonated in advance or disappeared without a trace. After discovering this problem, the human military was dumbfounded. They had thought of using nuclear bombs to attack this demon tree, but what should they do now?
With human technology, they could not come into contact with the profound laws of space … It had to be said that this was the greatest difference between mysticism and science.
The Qliphoth continued to produce fruits, and the demon hunting continued. At this moment, Sareth, who had gone to search for the Demon Bible stele, finally returned …
Using his flame wings to fly, Sareth appeared in the sky above Red Grave City. At this moment, he had an enormous burden on his back compared to before he set off.
Inside this burden was the Demon Bible stele!
Sparda had not hidden this stone tablet, and the information that V had told Sareth was indeed correct. However, Sareth did not know the specific location that V had mentioned, so he had searched a large area for more than ten days before finally finding this thing.
After finding the Demon Bible stele, Sareth heaved a sigh of relief. This meant that the mission Roy had given him had finally been completed.
After returning with the stele, Sareth wanted to find Dante and the others, but in Red Grave City, he saw devastation everywhere. Large numbers of demons were active in every corner of the city, but he could not see Dante and the others at all.
Oh no. Did something go wrong? Sareth's heart tightened as he spread his flame wings and flew toward the Qliphoth.
From time to time, flying demons appeared in the sky. In order not to attract attacks, Sareth could only transform into his demon form and use it as a cover to advance. This move turned out to be quite effective, and Sareth flew all the way to the canopy of the Qliphoth without any obstruction.
Where … are Dante and the others? After arriving in front of the Qliphoth, Sareth was in a dilemma because this tree was too huge and occupied a vast area. He did not know where to start.
Should I … start from the top of the tree and search from top to bottom? Sareth scratched his head and thought. Then he followed the path up and soon arrived above the enormous spiral-shaped canopy.
This place was already high in the sky, and he could not see any demons. Sareth felt a little strange, but he did not think too much about it. He grabbed the bag on his back and rushed down.
When he was still a long way from the canopy, Sareth suddenly felt that he had hit something, and a strong resistance came. But before he could understand what was going on, the resistance suddenly disappeared. With a pop, Sareth rushed in.
Huh? What was that just now? Sareth was dumbfounded, not understanding what was going on.
But after floating in place and waiting for a while, nothing happened, Sareth could only continue forward.
When he finally flew to the top of the tree and landed on the ground, he looked left and right at the empty scenery around him. The ground was made up of circles of twigs. It was very sturdy, but apart from these, there was nothing else …
Oh, no, there seems to be something! Sareth saw what seemed to be a twig standing upright in front of him in the distance, and he ran over curiously.
After coming closer, Sareth finally saw clearly that it was a very abrupt upright branch, and at the end of this branch, a strange small fruit hung on it. This fruit looked a little like an apple, but it was wrapped in a layer of bright, net-like fascia, and the inside was red. This small fruit was less than ten centimeters in size, but it was beating rhythmically like a heart.
The most outrageous thing was that from time to time, something thick and blood-like was dripping from this fruit … It should be said that it was blood because Sareth could already smell the strong smell of blood.
This is … the fruit of the Qliphoth, right? Sareth's eyes widened, and he could not help but reach out to touch the fruit. Then he quickly retracted his hand and shook it. "This thing is so disgusting …"
However, even though it was disgusting, Sareth also discovered that this fruit was extraordinary. Even though he was just standing in front of it, he could feel the powerful magic power contained in it.
This fruit seems to be growing … Sareth's heart suddenly stirred. If it ripens, it should contain very powerful magic power, right? If … if I use this fruit as an offering, can I open a Gate of the Abyss and let Foster Father come?
