Chapter 396 The Encounter Between Sareth and Dante
Following the numerous low-level demons and monsters, Sareth plunged into the jagged rift. The moment he entered, he felt endless light flooding his vision.
However, this light came and went quickly, disappearing in the blink of an eye. After the light disappeared, Sareth found that his environment had changed.
He looked up and saw the starry night sky above, but below the night sky was a wide street. On both sides of the street were various buildings with their lights off. The entire street was a mess, and many vehicles were either overturned or trampled on. There were also some that were on fire, making popping and roaring sounds and illuminating the street with blazing flames.
The entire street was full of demons and monsters, who had rushed out of the rift before Sareth. They were currently reveling on this street as they crazily chased after the fleeing and frightened humans. Screams, gunshots, and the roars of demons and monsters were resounding all the time.
Is this… the human world? Seeing this apocalyptic scene, Sareth could not help but be stunned. But before he could recover, a strong sense of strangeness spread throughout his body.
What’s going on? Sareth stretched out his hand in puzzlement, only to find that his arm, which had been full of cuticles, was gradually fading and turning into a white and smooth human arm.
Sareth was a little scared. He hurriedly took a few steps back, only to b.u.mp into the wreckage of a car. On the driver’s seat of this car, there was a shriveled human sitting motionless with his head drooping. It was a corpse that had its blood sucked dry.
From the rear-view mirror of the car, Sareth saw his body’s tremendous changes.
His brow bone, which had looked like demon horns, was shrinking at this moment. His dark and deep eyeb.a.l.l.s gradually turned white, and the blood-colored iris in his pupils turned blue. Even his body shrank a little. Only his hair did not change, and it was still his wild long red hair.
Is… is this my human form? Sareth was shocked. It was the first time he saw this appearance of his, and he immediately remembered what Roy had said.
When he entered the Purgatory World from the Abyss, Sareth had not felt any obstruction. But when he entered the human world from the Purgatory World, he changed from his demon form into his human form. Had Foster Father really guessed this change correctly?! He could feel that after transforming into his human form, besides his appearance changing, his strength did not change much. This should be the so-called world repulsive effect, right? But because he was a demon-human hybrid, the world repulsive effect did not have any suppression on him and did not affect his strength at all. It only allowed the human bloodline in his bloodline to have the upper hand and reveal the human form.
No wonder Foster Father said that those with a demon-human bloodline could travel un.o.bstructed in human worlds. As long as I become a human, I won’t be treated as a foreign object in this world… Sareth understood a little.
While he was still looking curiously at the changes to his body, he suddenly heard a clicking sound next to him. He looked up and found an ant-like monster staring at him. It stood upright, with two pairs of short tentacles on its chest. Whip-like appendages covered its bald head, and the tail of its lower body was a large lump of bulging sacks. It was a dense tissue formed from red blisters, and it looked absolutely disgusting. This monster was staring intently at Sareth with a look of greed in its eyes, and saliva kept flowing out of its pincer-like mouth.
Sareth suddenly realized that the monster had mistaken him for a human because of his human appearance.
Creaking sounds kept coming. The nearby monsters with the same appearance gathered one after another, all of them staring at the human Sareth.
Facing these monsters, Sareth could not explain to them that he was a demon, so he decided to strike first to gain the upper hand. Fortunately, the spatial rift he rushed out from just now had already closed, and no more monsters emerged from it, so he could use his weapons without any reservations. Bang! He pulled out Calamity from his leg and injected dark magic power into it. He shot at the head of the ant monster that rushed at him first! A ball of black light instantly shot out from the muzzle and hit the ant monster. The ant monster only had time to scream before black smoke began emitting from its entire head from the corrosion of dark power. With just one shot, Sareth killed the ant monster. Then without giving the other monsters time to react, he aimed Calamity and fired continuously. Dark bullets and flame bullets alternated as he quickly cleared the monsters surrounding him. After being killed, these ant monsters left small soul b.a.l.l.s where they died. Under the principle of not wasting, Sareth collected these souls, but then he remembered that he did not seem to have a soul storing method, so he could only devour these souls on the spot.
After inserting Calamity back into the holster, Sareth looked at the distant street. Farther away, he could hear fierce gunshots. It seemed that humans were fighting the demons and monsters that had just flooded out, so he thought for a moment before rus.h.i.+ng toward the gunshots.
At this moment, at the end of the street, several light armored vehicles were s.h.i.+ning with red and blue lights. Not far in front of the armored vehicles, there was a temporary bunker built with sandbags and a human army of about dozens of people wearing uniforms, tactical helmets, and holding a.s.sault rifles in their hands. They relied on the bunker to open fire frantically at the demons and monsters that were constantly rus.h.i.+ng over. The noisy gunshots covered the sound of the sh.e.l.ls. .h.i.tting the ground. “Hold on! Hold on! Don’t retreat!” A commander roared orders while pulling his trigger desperately. The flames from the muzzles illuminated his ferocious expression.
However, even with such powerful firepower, the distance between the demons and monsters was still shrinking. These human troops did not have magic bullets, and ordinary bullets could only cause limited damage to demons and monsters. No matter how accurate their marksmans.h.i.+p was, it often took dozens or even hundreds of bullets to kill a monster.
Moreover, it was the lowest-level monster, not even a low-rank demon…
They were powerless to stop the monsters from approaching. When the monsters reached a certain distance, they jumped up one after another. Facing the bullets, they trampled down on the human soldiers. With the cries of despair and fear of the human soldiers ranging out, the monsters lowered their heads to bite through the soldiers’ clothes and protection and began to devour their flesh and blood.
Soldiers died one by one as they screamed helplessly…
Facing this situation, no one listened to the commander’s order not to retreat anymore. A few soldiers were so terrified that they could not control themselves as they screamed, threw down their weapons, and ran to the back desperately. As soon as they ran, the defense line the soldiers had painstakingly built immediately collapsed.
What followed was naturally a b.l.o.o.d.y ma.s.sacre. The demons and monsters drowned the army’s defense line and trampled on the armored vehicles. The fierce gunfire earlier was gone, leaving only the blood-chilling sound of the monsters eating.

“Humans are really so weak…” At this moment, a voice rang out, startling the eating monsters. They looked up and saw a small figure carrying an enormous scythe on the street.
The person who appeared here was naturally Sareth. He had actually arrived earlier, but he did not take action. He watched from the side and witnessed the entire process of the destruction of this human army.
Although Sareth had also been in a sorry state because of the monsters when he first entered the Purgatory World, he had the power of a demon after all. After adapting, these low-level demons and monsters could not pose too much of a threat to him. But now that he saw the human soldiers had been unable to fight back against the monsters and lost terribly, he could not help but have strong doubts about his human bloodline.
Isn’t this too weak? So the human bloodline in me actually comes from such a weak race?
The doubts about his human bloodlines were, in turn, greater recognition of his demon bloodline. At this moment, Sareth was extremely glad that he had his demon bloodline. Otherwise, he might have died screaming in despair like these humans.
I don’t want this…
While thinking about this, Sareth waved Executioner and charged into the group of monsters. The scythe infused with flame magic power was like a dancing fire dragon under Sareth’s swings. One after another, monsters turned into black ash under his scythe.
The low-level monsters were no match for Sareth, but a flying monster cunningly chose to dive down from the sky to attack him. When it swooped down, he blocked the attack of the monster’s machete. Just as he was about to attack, a gunshot suddenly rang out. The monster’s head exploded into blood as it instantly died.
Its heavy weight pressed down on Sareth and knocked him to the ground. Other than that, it could no longer do anything else.
Pfft! Pfft! The monster’s smelly blood splattered onto his face, and he spat out in disgust. He lifted the monster’s corpse off his body, then he stood up and said angrily, “Which b.a.s.t.a.r.d did this?!”
A frivolous voice sounded. “What a rude little brat! I saved your life!”
Sareth raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice. On the top of a house to his right, a figure was standing there. It was a man in a red trench coat. He had a sword on his back, two pistols with white smoke rising in his hands, messy hair, and… white beard stubble!
“Who are you?!” Sareth said unhappily. “What do you mean by saving my life? I already noticed that guy’s sneak attack. Did you need to meddle?”
He spun the two guns in his hands a few times and then instantly inserted them back behind his waist. The man jumped from the roof and landed on the street with a thud. The moment he landed, the ground seemed to have suffered an immense force, and countless cracks appeared all at once. This scene made Sareth’s eyes narrow.
After this man straightened his body, he walked over arrogantly. As he walked, he said to Sareth, “Brat, I didn’t expect you to be a demon hunter at your age.”
However, what responded to this man was the muzzle of Sareth’s gun!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Several magic power bullets shot out from the muzzle of Calamity. The bullets containing the explosive power of flames flew straight at the man…
“Twice now! You’ve called me brat twice!”
