Chapter 404: The Beginning of the Special Chapter: Vergil’s Downfall
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
Mr. Fang’s strength was more than enough to deal with the small demons and previous bosses and even show off some moves. However, he found that it was difficult to deal with Vergil even though he had leveled up most of Dante’s moves and skills to a high level.
“Hu…” Mr. Fang exhaled with some relief since he had worked hard in order to clear the game.
Fortunately, after the task of opening another branch shop started, the System had given him three days’ access to the Game Cultivation Room. Recently, after he did the livestream, he would go in the Game Cultivation Room and fight with Dante for a long time. As a result, he could better master some of Dante’s moves and skills and use them with more proficiency.
What is a battle? For many people, battles only meant killing, a way to show one’s strength, or protection.
However, in Devil May Cry, battles were more meaningful than that.
It was probably from this era on that the art of combat was presented before people!
The horrifying high speed left many ghost-like shadows on the screen. Like a ghost, Vergil moved as fast as his sword. When he sheathed Yamato and held the Force Edge with one hand, he turned into a blurry shadow and pierced through Dante like a flash.
Under Mr. Fang’s control, Dante s.h.i.+fted and dashed away. In the blink of an eye, he moved to another spot. Meanwhile, the spot that he was standing on before was attacked by many saber energies. Now, everyone realized that Vergil had attacked many times when he pa.s.sed by Dante.
“The shop owner is so calm!”
“He would have been cut into pieces if he had been one second slower!”
The strike was so fast that the audience only knew what had happened in that instant just now!
After he missed the target, Vergil vanished after a blue light flashed.
Inside the portal leading to the demon world, endless demon energy surged up, and horrifying lightning bolts flashed in the crack in s.p.a.ce.
In the next moment, a flash of saber light hacked down from the sky!
Then, with a crisp collision of weapons, Vergil vanished again.
Then came the second strike, the third…
Like thunderbolts, strikes came one after another from impossible angles. The moment that each of the struck fell, he vanished again and again.
The place was filled with dark demon energy, and the audience in front of the big screens saw only lightning-like saber energies hacking down; they couldn’t see any figures on the screens!
“Look at the shop owner!”
In exclamation, Fang Qi controlled Dante to pa.s.s through the lightning bolts casually as if he were wandering around. Whenever a saber light flashed, a sword light would appear as well. While the sword light and saber light collided and created many sparks, Dante remained intact!
“Oh my goodness!”
“Even Dante himself can’t fight better than this!”
“When did this kid achieve such proficiency with the dark knight’s combat skills?!” Even Nalan Hongwu was dazed.
“Excellent!” Lights flashed in Ning Bi’s eyes, proud that she could use this fancy combat style in the future.
At this moment, Vergil clearly changed his combat style after his last strike. When their weapons collided, a layer of blue sword light lit up around Vergil!
Summoned Sword!
When the circular sword array was launched, more than ten blue sword energies rotated around Vergil at a great speed, and their sharp blades threatened to shatter everything around them into pieces!
The audience was unprepared for this sudden change!
Meanwhile, Mr. Fang displayed and put up a fist technique pose.
“He changed to a fist technique?! What is this?!” Obviously, this was a fist technique that needed time to concentrate energy; he would be hit by his opponent’s Summoned Sword before he could launch his fist technique!
“Is it a mistake?!” All the people looked baffled.
Beowulf, a set of gauntlets, was transformed from a powerful demon which was a foe of Dark Knight Sparda; it contained horrifying strength. Before it was launched, the fist technique pose already condensed a layer of extremely powerful demonic energy before Dante.
Tink! Tink! Tink! Tink!
“It wasn’t a mistake! Absolutely not a mistake!”
“What do you mean?!” The new players of Devil May Cry 3 were even more baffled. “How come the shop owner received no damage?!”
“These fist techniques are heavy moves which gather so much power that they can block attacks in an area,” people like Nalan Hongwu and Song Qingfeng who were familiar with this game explained, “However, these moves are slow to use, which means that the shop owner blocked the attacks through prediction!”
Mr. Fang’s fist technique was not fast and seemed like he wasn’t trying to hit Vergil. However, it forced Vergil to retreat, and he took this opportunity to jump out of the battlefield with the help from the momentum of the fist technique.
Vergil looked unsurprised. With a flash of the Summoned Sword, the sword energies shot out from the circular sword array and formed another sword array. Instead of rotating around Vergil, this new sword array surrounded Fang Qi’s Dante!
“Vergil can even use sword arrays?!”
However, Mr. Fang instantly landed and kicked toward Vergil from mid-air as if he teleported himself.
“Look! Watch Mr. Fang!”
Mr. Fang controlled Dante to kick and step in mid-air many times like a demonic G.o.d that could fly. The Flame and Tornado Blades slashed out many ice and flame shadows. Even though Dante couldn’t fly, he moved in the air like a nimble swallow. In the blink of an eye, Vergil was struck more than ten times, and the circular sword array instantly disintegrated!
Of course, it was impossible to kill Vergil, who had a demon physique, with only about ten strikes. Suddenly, a s.h.i.+elding layer condensed from blue demonic energy appeared around him, and it blocked Dante’s strike like a tough, golden barrier!
Vergil suddenly vanished, and no one knew where he was. However, a Dimension Slash Storm swept all over the s.p.a.ce!
The Dimension Slash which could leap through s.p.a.ce instantly filled the whole portal to the demon world!
The audience saw that the saber light of the Dimension Slash filled the whole screen!
Except the collisions of the sword and the saber, it was hard to see the two figures in the battle; Vergil’s speed was so fast that it was horrifying to watch his moves.
Tink! Tink! Tink!
With a series of metal-colliding noises, Mr. Fang controlled Dante to calmly block the attacks.
While he blocked, he even mocked Vergil.
The audience watched Dante mock Vergil on the big screen. “At this moment, you are still mocking your big brother?!”
“Royalguard?!”
“Perfect block?!”
“What are these d.a.m.n G.o.d-like plays?”
They had never imagined that one could look so awesome in a game!
Under Mr. Fang’s control, and since Dante’s strength grew more powerful, Vergil started to look weak and at a disadvantage.
While more and more wounds appeared on Vergil’s body, the portal connecting the demon world and the human world was about to close.
The battle finally came to an end. Covered in wounds, Vergil looked lonely, proud, and sad like a wounded wolf king.
Refusing his brother’s hand, he jumped from the cliff at the end of the portal that led to the demon world, falling into the abyss.
All his schemes and ambitions fell into the bottomless abyss in the demon world with him.
He left behind the Force Edge that his father had used to seal the demon world; Vergil spent all his life pursuing strength, but he left the object of his life-long pursuit to Dante at the end.
Vergil had witnessed his mother’s death while he was small and weak, which was why he had craved for great strength all his life.
However, it was enough for one of the twins to inherit this strength.
This unorthodox hero who was hungry for strength all his life had hidden his love for his twin brother deep in his heart, and it was only slightly revealed at this moment.
After this battle, Dante’s shop finally got its name: Devil May Cry.
[Beep! Congratulations for pa.s.sing Devil May Cry 3. You unlocked the character, Vergil. The special chapter Vergil’s Downfall needs 25 crystals to activate.]
Right, after the players cleared the stage, they could choose to play the game from Vergil’s perspective.
At the beginning, the audience hadn’t understood the meaning of this announcement. When they did, they went into a cheer!
This meant that they could learn Vergil’s Dimension Slash, Summoned Sword, and other techniques!
The Vergil’s Downfall told the story about his experience after he fell into the demon world. After all, demons didn’t die so easily. In this story, he encountered his father’s foe. As the recovered emperor of the demon world and a proud demon, he battled to the death with his broken body.
