Chapter 400 Where Did The Angel Go?
Although Sareth felt awkward about this unfamiliar human world and found it difficult to integrate, he did not forget his missions.
He was actually a pretty smart child. When he found that his behavior was vastly different from that of the humans of this world, he tried his best to minimize his contact with humans and instead hid to observe quietly.
He found that humans would obtain information through some kind of paper called ‘newspapers’ with words printed on it. In addition, there was also a moving image called ‘television’. These novel things gave him a sense of freshness, and he also found a way to complete his missions.
When Sareth was in the Abyss, he and the others always used the demon language, this method of soul communication. And when Sareth set off for the Devil May Cry world, Roy had considered his difficulties in communicating with humans, so he gave him a ‘Translation Gummy’ created by the system. This item from Doraemon could solve Sareth’s difficulties in communicating and also allow him to understand any text.
Sareth did not know what Roy was feeding him at first, but when he found that he could understand human languages, he immediately knew what to do.
He found that humans were different from demons. Because humans had short lifespans, they liked to use words to record ancient stories and legends. Therefore, he found a history museum in this city, sneaked in at night, and searched for information about the demon swordsman Sparda.
Roy had given him two missions. The main mission was to search for information about the Demon Bible stele in the hands of the demon swordsman Sparda. Sareth believed that if Sparda really had it, then there might be records of it in his legend.
If he could find any clues about this thing, then he would follow these clues to find the Demon Bible stele. If he could find it and bring it back to his foster father, then his foster father would definitely praise him.
But if he really could not find it, then he could only think of a way to summon his foster father over and let his foster father find it personally… This was Sareth’s compromise in a situation where he was truly helpless.
However, even if it was a compromise, Sareth had to find a way to summon Roy to this world. Although the repulsive effect of the world had turned him into his human form and did not put him under greater pressure, it also let him feel the existence of world power. His foster father was a powerful demon, but it would not be easy for him to break through the repulsive effect of the world and descend into this world.
As Sareth thought this, he carefully searched the silent and empty museum. The humans of this world were already used to hiding at night and not daring to come out, so even in this museum, no one dared to stay at night to guard. The so-called security did not exist at all, making it convenient for him to do things.
Of course, although ordinary people already knew about the existence of demons, the governments had never dared to publicly acknowledge the existence of demons. The humans of this world still walked the path of science. Once supernatural existences like demons were revealed, it would have an immense impact on the current scientific concepts. Therefore, even though the governments had already begun to form armies to deal with the endless demon invasions, they still did not dare to publicly acknowledge that there were demons.
As a result, it was impossible for any demon creation or demon item to appear among the historical relics displayed in the museum. What the museum displayed were basically human historical relics.
However, these historical relics naturally had objects with writings. These writings came from objects from hundreds or thousands of years ago or even longer. After such a long time, written languages had undergone tremendous changes, and modern humans basically had to rely on archeology and tracing the origins to be able to barely understand the meaning of these ancient texts. Under these circ.u.mstances, some information about the demon swordsman Sparda recorded in the ancient texts naturally remained in the museum openly. This was a loophole in government supervision.
Ordinary people could not understand these words, so even if they saw them, they would not be able to recognize them. But for Sareth, who had eaten the Translation Gummy, there were no problems. Thus, he really found a lot of information about Sparda in this museum.
Although the records in these historical relics were fragmented, he found that the historical impact Sparda had on this world was truly profound!
In different periods and cultures, they all more or less mentioned the name of the ‘Savior’. This name was Sparda. Although different cultures had different descriptions of Sparda, the Savior, due to the mixture of wors.h.i.+p and faith, what they mentioned about the salvation of Sparda was the same. They all said that Sparda had betrayed his demon compatriots and stood on the side of humanity, thus allowing human civilization to continue.

In these historical records, they described Sparda as a demon with a n.o.ble soul. He possessed intelligence that other demons did not have. He drew his sword for the light of the world and wielded it to protect the weak humans. He was a hero that people revered, and he was called the ‘Legendary Dark Knight’! Sareth found that there was mention of Sparda’s demon sword in many records. This demon sword shared the same name as its master and was called Sparda. According to the records, Sparda’s strength lay in his demon sword, which was the symbol of his great power.
When he saw this, Sareth could not help but mutter inwardly, How incredible… Is this demon sword stronger than Foster Father’s Frostmourne?
Since Sareth was young, he had seen Roy’s Frostmourne, and he had a deep impression of it. In his memories, he felt that his foster father’s sword was the most powerful, so when he saw these records, his first reaction was: Is it that amazing?
As he checked more and more information, he found that, like Sparda, there was another name frequently mentioned in these historical records, which was Demon King Mundus. But usually, there was only the name and no description of Mundus’s appearance. At first, Sareth was still puzzled, but he gradually understood. Is this because Mundus has never appeared in the human world?
It makes sense. Since it’s abnormally difficult for a demon lord like Foster Father to appear in this world, as a ‘demon king’, Mundus probably has even more difficulty. No wonder in many records, they say that Sparda was originally the ‘right hand’ of Mundus. So, in the beginning, it should have been Sparda who led the demon army to invade this human world. But for some reason, he later betrayed Mundus…
Heh, transforming from an invader into a savior? This transformation is really interesting… Sareth chuckled.
Demon kings could not appear in human worlds and could only remotely command the invasions of human worlds through demon lords. This reminded Sareth of the problem of the magic level of a world that Roy had mentioned to him.
From the looks of it, this world should belong to a low-magic world. Sareth thought. In this world, the upper limit of combat strength should be the demon lord level?
But… what about the later mention that Sparda defeated Demon King Mundus and sealed him? Sareth crossed his arms and sat on the ground in deep thought. If he can defeat a demon king, doesn’t this mean that Sparda has the same strength as demon kings? Then if he became a demon king, how did he appear in this world? Or did he use unconventional methods to defeat Mundus?
This kind of question was a little complicated. Sareth’s little brain was still confused, so he shook his head and temporarily threw this question aside before focusing on searching.
As he learned more, he gradually discovered a new problem.
Strange. This world doesn’t seem to have… angels! Didn’t Foster Father say that angels have always been enemies with demons? And wherever there are demons, there are angels… Then why has this world only heard of the existence of demons, but no one has ever mentioned the existence of angels? Moreover, the one who saved the world was a demon, not an angel.
“Where did the angels go?”.
Sareth asked this question to himself. He did not expect anyone to answer him, but unexpectedly, a voice suddenly sounded above his head. “Because the angels have fallen! They have been isolated in another parallel world!”
Hearing this voice, Sareth was shocked. He took out Calamity and aimed it above his head.
On the beam above, a white-haired, middle-aged man in a red trench coat was lying there lazily. One hand was behind his head while the other was holding a gun. He lowered his head and looked at Sareth below.
“You again?!” After seeing this man’s appearance clearly, Sareth could not help but ask, “Why do you appear everywhere?” “Brat, you’ve been in this museum for three days!” Dante did not answer Sareth’s question. He just spread his hand holding the gun. “Don’t tell me you think that no one knows where you are because you’re hiding during the deserted nights. There are cameras here. Don’t you know?”
“Cameras?” Sareth was at a loss. Although he had learned a little about the human world during this period, you could not expect him to have enough knowledge about everything. “You don’t even know this? It seems like you’re really not of this world!” Dante propped himself up and nimbly jumped down from the beam. Looking at the vigilant Sareth, he suddenly raised his gun and pointed it at him. He said solemnly, “Brat, tell me. What do you want to do by investigating information about the demon swordsman Sparda?”
