When Sareth returned to the small town of Fortuna and found Nero's shop, he found that the shop was in a gloomy atmosphere.
"What … happened?" Sareth looked at everyone in confusion.
"Sareth?! You … "When Nico first saw Sareth, she was stunned for a long time. At this moment, she came back to her senses, took a step forward, pressed Sareth's shoulder, and looked at him excitedly." Great! You're fine! "
Sareth twisted his shoulders unnaturally and shook off Nico's hand. Then he looked at V. "Didn't you tell them?"
V was looking down at the poetry book in his hand. He said unhurriedly, "Sorry, I forgot …"
Yes, Nero, Nico, Kyrie, and the others had not received any news from Sareth recently. Ever since Sareth rushed into the spatial rift, they had not seen him for a long time, so they thought that something had happened to him. After V brought Nero back, he did not mention anything about Sareth, so Nico and Kyrie were very excited to see Sareth appear.
Dante, Lady, and Trish had fallen into the Qliphoth, which dealt a huge blow to Nero. After losing his right hand, Nero lost most of his strength, so not only did he not help in this battle, but he also became a burden. This made Nero very depressed, and he was currently deeply blaming himself.
So when Sareth appeared safe and sound, Nero felt a little excited and asked, "Sareth, where have you been all this time?"
"Here, I went to look for the Demon Bible stele!" Sareth did not hide it. He put down the bag on his back and showed the stele to everyone.
"Is this the thing you were talking about?" Nico and Nero surrounded him curiously and sized up the stele, but no one, including Nero, could understand the demon characters on it.
After looking at it for a long time, Nero could not figure it out, so he could only ask Sareth, "What's the use of this thing?"
"I said, I actually don't know …" Sareth scratched his hair. "Foster Father asked me to look for it, but he also said that there are a total of seven pieces of this thing. It seems that I have to gather all seven pieces before I can understand the specific use …"
"What kind of demon is your adoptive father?" Nicole heard Sareth mention his foster father again and finally could not help but ask.
Sareth described with admiration. "He's a very powerful demon lord. I heard from Mother Julia that he's probably the fastest demon to promote from high-rank demon to lord in the entire Abyss! Mother Benia also said that even though Foster Father had just become a demon lord not long ago, his strength was already stronger than many demon lords! He might become the Abyss Demon most likely to advance to the Demon King level in the past thousand years! "
When Nicole heard these words, she couldn't help but look at Nero worriedly.
They all knew that Sareth's foster father was a powerful demon lord. He had sent Sareth here to find the Demon Bible inscription that Sparda had taken away. Now that Sareth had found the inscription, Nico and Nero could not stop him. Now, they did not know what Sareth would do next. Would the foster father he mentioned descend into this world …
Now that a powerful demon, Urizen, had appeared, if Sareth's foster father appeared, then …
Therefore, Nicole and Nero felt that it was necessary to figure out what kind of demon Sareth's foster father was. In their impression, demons were all cruel and bloodthirsty evil existences, but … weren't there also demons like Sparda? In addition, Trish was also a demon. Wasn't she also standing on the side of humans now? Although Sareth's foster father was a demon lord, since this demon was willing to adopt a human-demon hybrid, perhaps they could communicate?
Urizen's strength exceeded Nero's and Dante's expectations. So at this moment, the depressed Nero actually had the thought of getting Sareth's foster father to deal with Urizen …
Of course, Nero knew that this thought was very dangerous, so he quickly threw it away.
V, who was standing a little behind, realized that Sareth's origins were beyond his imagination. He had thought that Sareth was a friend of Dante and the others … or perhaps a descendant of Dante. Now that he heard Sareth say it, he realized that it was completely different from what he had imagined, so he looked up at Sareth in surprise.
Was it a mistake for me to tell him the clues about the Demon Bible stele? V thought.
But … Sareth had already found this stele, and it had already become a fact. It was useless even if V regretted it. The only good news was that this stele did not look strange …
Sareth did not think too much about it. After chatting for a while, he remembered to ask where Dante and the others had gone. As soon as he asked this question, the room fell silent again. After a long time, Nero told Sareth about what had happened in the Qliphoth. Only then did Sareth understand that such a huge change had happened in the ten days after he left.
"Is that Urizen really so powerful?" Sareth asked in surprise.
Nero and V nodded and admitted this. It could not be helped. Urizen just sat there and beat them until they fled. If this was not powerful, what was it?
Sareth was a little flustered at this moment, so the first thought that came to his mind was, It seems like I really have to get Foster Father to come … I'm afraid only Foster Father can deal with this Urizen, right?
In fact, in Roy's instructions to Sareth, he did not say that Sareth had to summon him to this world. Roy was just curious about the Devil May Cry world. What Roy really wanted was the Demon Bible stele. He had asked Sareth to come over only to let him gain some experience. At the same time, there were also half-demons like Dante, Vergil, and Nero in this world. Sareth was also of the same kind as them, and he could let them communicate with each other.
Moreover, when Roy sent Sareth over, he did not know what time it was in this world, and he definitely could not guess what Sareth would encounter, so he did not force Sareth to complete the mission. If he could find the Demon Bible, he would find it. If he could not, Sareth would just train and come back. As for whether Roy could descend into this world, he did not care much.
However, Sareth's mission experience in this world could be said to be much smoother than Roy had expected. Roy did not expect him to find the Demon Bible stele so quickly, and Sareth felt quite proud of himself. Once a child at his age had some achievements, he would always be eager to show off to his parents so that his parents could affirm him. Therefore, at this moment, Sareth wanted Roy to see it even more …
He hoped that Roy would commend him …
Of course, Sareth only thought this in his heart and did not say it out loud, so Nero and the others did not know what Sareth was thinking.
In any case, Sareth had returned safe and sound. This was good news for Nero, so he cheered up a little and stood up. "Dante failed, but I'm still here. I have to find a way to defeat Urizen. I have to find a way to obtain stronger power …"
Nico thought for a moment. "Your demon right wrist is gone, which will have a huge impact on you. But I might be able to think of a way to get you a right wrist … the kind that can be used as a weapon!"
"Oh? That's a good idea! " Nero was stunned for a moment before smiling. "Then I'll leave it to you. Tell me what materials you need, and I'll go find them!"
"Yes, I do need you to do it!" Nico was inspired at this moment. She lit a cigarette and pondered. "If you want to fight demons, pure technological weapons are too useless, so you have to use magical technology that can match your magic power to fight, so the material requirements will naturally be special …"
"Do you want to obtain them from demons?" Nero asked. "If that's the case, it's the best time now. Those damn demons that appeared from the Qliphoth are wreaking havoc everywhere in Red Grave City, and we need to find a way to hunt them."
"That's right!" Nico nodded. "This research and development will take time. You can use this time to reduce the number of demons."
V walked forward at this moment. "There's also the Qliphoth. Urizen is now waiting for the fruit of the Qliphoth to mature. During this period, he might not appear in front of the world. This is also our opportunity …"
Hearing V mention the Qliphoth, Sareth thought of something. His eyes flickered, but he did not say anything.
The three of them eagerly discussed the next action plan, and Sareth could not interrupt for a while. After they finally quietened down, Sareth said, "If you want to obtain stronger power, can't you just devour souls?"
"Huh?" Hearing this, the three of them turned to look at Sareth in surprise. "What did you just say?"
"Devour souls!" Sareth was a little surprised. "You don't even know this? There are many souls floating around Red Grave City now. Those dead humans and dead demons can strengthen you, Nero! "
"This …" Nero was stunned and could not help but ask, "Aren't souls only used to strengthen weapons?"
Of course, Nero could see souls, but in his understanding, he had always thought of himself as a human, so he had never thought of devouring souls like demons, especially human souls! After all, he could not accept it psychologically … He knew that the souls of those demons had special uses, but they had always been used to strengthen weapons. In particular, some powerful demons would leave behind things like 'Demon Armaments' after their deaths, which were also weapons constructed by demons with their own souls. Of course, these weapons could not be eaten, right? …
Not only him, but Dante was the same. They had never thought of devouring souls directly.
Of course, this was also related to the fact that demon-humans did not have Soul Devouring Addiction. They could see souls, but they would not think of 'eating' them immediately. They did not have the concept of 'edible' souls … It could be said that the magic power in Nero and Dante had gradually grown through their long-term training and battles. This was also a special feature of demon-humans.
But Sareth was different. He had been growing up in the Abyss, and it was almost common sense for him that souls could be devoured to strengthen his magic power!
So now, he replied in disbelief to Nero's question, "Who said that? Foster Father said that we demon-humans can also strengthen our magic power by devouring souls. This is an ability inherited from the demon bloodline. You … you've never devoured souls to increase your magic power since you were young, right? "
Nero was stunned for a moment, but then he understood.
In fact, from the first time he saw Sareth, he felt that it was a little strange. Sareth was only eight or nine years old, but he already had decent magic power and could even use demon armaments. In contrast, Nero could not do this when he was eight or nine years old.
Now that he heard Sareth say this, he suddenly realized that it should be because Sareth had devoured souls before. His growth was much faster than Nero's and even Dante's at the same time …
What should I do? After realizing this, Nero looked at Nico hesitantly and then at V. Sareth's words had now shown Nero a new way to obtain powerful strength, so should he try what Sareth said?
