How many demons were there in the entire Demon World? No one knew that.
The Purgatory Space of the Devil May Cry world could be regarded as an 'ancient battlefield'. The recorded history could be traced back to nearly ten thousand years ago. Countless demons multiplied here, and demons were born and died every moment. Even after such a long time, many mutants and mutated species that were different from the Abyss demons had appeared. It could be said that this place had evolved into a 'new Abyss'.
In the chaotic battle, Roy had been observing carefully. He found a situation that he was more concerned about. The majority of insect-type demons in the Demon World were insect-type demons, and they were of the upper, middle, and lower classes.
Insect-type demons were the most important branch of demons. Even in the Abyss, they were the most famous and ancient demons, and their ancestor was Beelzebub, one of the Seven Demon Kings … But Roy had traveled in the Abyss for so many years, and the number of insect-type demons he had seen added up were not as many as the ones in the Demon World!
Generally speaking, if there was a ruler among the demon groups in a certain area, then the racial composition of this demon group would usually be the same race as the ruler. This was a tendency for the same race. For example, Roy was a frost demon, so he would recruit frost demons as much as possible when recruiting demons. If it were a flame demon lord, he would also recruit flame demons as much as possible as his subordinates. Even if there were not so many flame demons, he would at least recruit fire-type demons.
Now, not to mention the appearance of so many insect-type demons in the Demon World, even Sparda, the former general of the Demon World, was an insect-type demon. Inferring from this tendency, Roy could not help but wonder if Mundus, the ruler of the Demon World, was also an insect-type demon.
On the battlefield, the one with the highest killing efficiency was actually Junia. She had already gone crazy from killing, and her figure was constantly shuttling through the sky. From time to time, the dark golden flames turned into a meteor shower that smashed onto the ground, burning the demons on the ground until they screamed. The one with the second highest killing efficiency was Fat Tiger. He held a territory with Cerberus, and the two giant beasts were like meat grinders, crushing the demons that pounced on them into pieces.
Compared to them, Sparda, Dante, Vergil, and Nero had the lowest killing efficiency because almost all of them used sword skills. Although sword skills also had large-scale attacks, compared to magic, sword skills were naturally much slower … However, the four of them killed the most high-rank demons …
After releasing Glimmering Dawn to strike the ground once, Roy did not attack much. Only when some overestimating themselves flew into the sky and wanted to attack him would he deal with them. Most of the time, Roy was conserving his strength and waiting for Mundus to appear.
Even though Sparda had said that Mundus was not a true demon king, Roy did not dare to be careless. He had seen the demon king clones of Samael and Lilith, so he knew how terrifying demon kings were. Even though Mundus, a pseudo-demon king, could not compare to Samael and Lilith, he would not be as easy to deal with as demon lords of the same level. It was necessary to be prepared.
In addition, Roy was also paying attention to the slowly rotating spatial channel in the sky. To be honest, he did not expect that the thing that Sparda did not hesitate to split his body to seal would be this. But on second thought, Sparda had once sealed the channel between the human world and the Demon World, so it seemed normal for him to seal the channel to the twin world.
Now that the seal was broken and the channel appeared, since the Demon World could see it, could the twin world also see it? If the angels on the other side sensed the appearance of this channel, would they send troops over?
About twenty minutes later, Roy's premonition came true. A golden light suddenly appeared in the pitch-black spatial channel!
Roy felt that it was the power of holy light, so he immediately perked up and looked into the channel. Then he saw a … strange-looking angel appear!
Due to passing through the spatial channel, when this angel appeared, it was the entire process of transforming from transparent to solid. When his appearance gradually became clear, Roy saw his full appearance. It was a strange angel that looked a little like a bird. He had only one eye on his head, and it was in the middle. His entire head looked like a bird's beak, and his hands did not have five fingers but three fingers like bird claws. The same was true for his legs, which were reversed joints. His feet also had three fingers like bird claws, but they looked thicker than the claws.
His body was upright like a human, and his lower body was wrapped in a white battle skirt. His upper body was bare, and there were only simple golden decorations on both sides of his arms. He had a pair of pure white wings on his back, but the edges of the wing bones were golden. He held a golden spear in his bird claw-like hands, and at the tip of the spear was a cross-shaped jaw. Other than that, he had no other equipment, so he looked very shabby. He was probably just the lowest-level angel who came to scout.
But even if he was the lowest-level angel, he was a true angel! Because above this strange angel's head, a golden ring was blooming with holy light.
This was an angel ring, a 'crown' condensed from holy power. It was the symbol of an angel's identity. In other words, this strange-looking and even somewhat ugly 'birdman' was indeed a genuine angel!
Every angel knew how to condense an angelic halo, but not every angel would wear it all the time. Wearing an angelic halo usually only happened in one situation, and that was when they needed to spread doctrines and beliefs … This was also why the angels Roy had encountered in the past did not have this thing on their heads. When angels encountered demons, it was impossible for them to preach and would only fight.
This lowest-level angel who came to scout clearly did not understand the situation, so when he appeared, he still had an angel halo on his head and looked quite dignified. But when he appeared and saw the scene of countless demons fighting below, he was dumbfounded!
The most ridiculous thing was that the moment the demons present sensed the holy light on his body, which was completely incompatible with the rich dark power in the surrounding environment, millions of demons raised their heads and looked at this uninvited guest.
Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing here? Should I run away?
Like a lamb that had fallen into a pack of wolves, this low-level angel was so scared that he almost peed his pants under the fierce and bloodthirsty gazes of so many natural enemies. He was only ordered to investigate this spatial channel that suddenly appeared and did not expect to encounter such a big scene.
After coming back to his senses, he hurriedly turned around and tried to return through the Space Passage. However, before he could reach the pitch-black Space Vortex, a huge force grabbed his body.
This force was a powerful force that this low-level angel could not resist at all. His entire body could no longer move as he was pulled away from the spatial channel by this force and flew all the way back.
After this low-level angel stopped, he realized that there was a tall demon in front of him!
"Angels also look like this?" After Roy used his Psychokinesis to capture this angel, he placed him in front of him and observed him over and over again. As he looked, he complained, "He's basically a cripple, okay?"
Rafaro said from below. "It's not like that. This guy should be an 'ancient angel'. When the Elder Wars broke out in the world of Ashan, we faceless had encountered some ancient angels like this. It's said that these ancient angels are the images of the first generation of angels …"
"The first generation of angels?" Roy said in surprise. "Angels at that time looked like this? They look uglier than demons! "
"Isn't that so?" Rafaro said. "But you have to know that all creatures will evolve, and so will angels. In order to better spread their doctrines and beliefs, they have evolved to become more and more beautiful. Moreover, because most of the objects of their doctrines and beliefs are humans, their appearances are becoming more and more like humans …"
"What is this? Is it necessary for business? " Roy shook his head in amusement. He grabbed the wings of this low-level angel and sized him up. "Then why didn't this guy evolve?"
"Who knows?" Rafaro found it a little strange. "Maybe these guys resist evolution. Why don't you ask Sparda? Hasn't that guy been dealing with these ancient angels for thousands of years?"
"Forget it. Who cares so much? No matter what he looks like, as long as he's an angel!" Roy said as he tore the low-level angel in half.
Blood fell from the sky along with feathers. After the corpse of the angel that Roy had torn in half fell to the ground, the demons below immediately fought to devour it, and even his soul did not escape … This guy was unlucky. An angel actually barged into the battlefield of demons, and he had no choice but to die.
"The scouts can't go back, so the angels on the other side should be much more cautious." Roy said. "We won't be disturbed for the time being, but this will arouse the vigilance of the other side. Perhaps they will seal the exit on the other side. If Mundus wants to use this passage to do something, then he'll have to come out and deal with us quickly …"
Before he finished speaking, a red cross-shaped lightning bolt suddenly erupted from the rotating pentagram in the sky above Demon King City in the distance. The entire magic formation turned into countless light curtain fragments amidst the lightning.
Then, in the dark night sky, three blood-red eyes appeared in the shape of a triangle.
These three blood-red eyes were so bright and dazzling that they floated in the sky like three enormous searchlights with electric arcs flashing around them.
Mundus finally broke the seal and appeared. Like a god, he watched the entire battlefield …
