Chapter 401 Surround
What Sareth did not know was that after he met with Dante last time, Dante had found the information broker Morrison and asked him to find a way to track Sareth. With Morrison’s strength as an information broker, it was effortless for him to find Sareth’s whereabouts. Not to mention, Sareth’s appearance and characteristics were very conspicuous, and he did not have any anti-detection awareness at all.
Therefore, even though Sareth had only taken action at night for the past few days, Dante knew everything he did.
A nine-year-old child, instead of going to an amus.e.m.e.nt park or playground, had been going to a museum. This behavior was too abnormal. When Dante realized that Sareth was searching for information about Sparda, he could no longer sit still and appeared personally to block Sareth again.
It was no wonder that Dante was so nervous. His father, Sparda, was too famous, and nothing good would happen as long as he was involved. Back then, his brother, Vergil, wanted to obtain his father’s power and joined forces with the greedy human Arkham to find the tower of the Demon World, Temen-ni-gru. With the help of the tower, they opened the gate to the Demon World. He had settled it with great difficulty, but his brother fell into the Demon World.
Later on, the Sword of the Order plotted against his nephew, Nero, and used the Sparda bloodline in Nero to cause trouble. In any case, nothing was inseparable from the so-called power of Sparda.
As a result, Dante’s nerves were a little sensitive now, and when he heard that someone was studying Sparda, he felt that it was nothing good.
Facing Dante’s question, Sareth certainly could not answer. He immediately turned around to escape. Dante did not stop him and merely looked at his fleeing back. But before Sareth reached the door, a figure suddenly appeared and stopped him at the door.
The person who stopped him was Lady, who was guarding the door. She stood at the door with one hand on her hips and shook the index finger of her other hand at Sareth. “Child, this path won’t work!”
“d.a.m.n it…” Sareth did not hesitate at all as he immediately changed direction and wanted to jump out of the window beside him. But before he could jump, the gla.s.s at the window shattered, and a blonde woman came in with a crash.
Trish stood up, shook off the gla.s.s fragments on her body, and said to Sareth charmingly, “Little friend, come here and let sister dote on you!”
“Huh?!” Sareth was stunned when he saw Trish. The white-haired man and the woman blocking the door had a trace of a human aura, but this blonde woman who broke the gla.s.s in front of him had a pure demonic aura and a human appearance!
Others might not be able to tell, but Sareth would definitely not be mistaken. He had been in the Abyss for so many years, and his ability to distinguish demons was almost instinctive.
He subconsciously raised his gun and pointed it at Trish. “You’re a demon?!”
Trish was also stunned for a moment. She did not expect that Sareth would see through her ident.i.ty at a glance. But after reacting, she smiled enchantingly. “Ha, little friend Sareth, I’m getting more and more curious about you!”
Sareth did not say anything. The white-haired man had actually brought so many people to stop him. This made Sareth understand that he could only fight his way out, so he immediately shot at Tris.h.!.+
Trish had already begun to dodge the moment Sareth moved. She agilely rolled a few times and completely avoided the flame bullets he shot. Then she suddenly changed direction and rushed to his side.
At such a close distance, it was not easy for Sareth to attack with the gun, so he immediately took Executioner from his back and swept it forward.
As Sareth swung, blazing flames appeared on Executioner and drew an arc of flames in front of him. Startled, Trish quickly backflipped and jumped away. But the flames still burned a few strands of her hair, and it emitted a scorched smell.
Sareth wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to jump out of the window through the path Trish made, but he suddenly heard the sound of wind coming from behind him. He quickly turned around to block, and in the next second, Dante’s sword, Rebellion, slashed down onto the handle of Executioner. The tremendous force immediately overwhelmed Sareth and pressed him into half-kneeling on the ground.
Sareth gritted his teeth and supported himself strenuously. Looking at Dante’s stubbled face up close, he could not help but feel furious. What’s wrong with this man? I have no enmity with him, so why did he come to me again?!
In his anger, Sareth’s power suddenly erupted. He roared furiously, and his entire body changed drastically. The traces of demon horns appeared on his brow bone, and his eyes turned black and red as he entered his demon form!
Unlike Dante and the others, Sareth had been in the Abyss since shortly after his birth and had always maintained his demon appearance. Therefore, his demonization was instinct, and he did not need to adapt or learn. With the help of the demon form, Sareth could possess the power of a high-rank demon. Of course, this was due to the eruption of the flame demon bloodline in his body, so it was still very short and would not last long.
With the support of his sudden increase in power, Sareth raised his hands and sent Dante flying, smas.h.i.+ng him against a wall in the distance.
Trish and Lady looked at Sareth in astonishment. At this moment, Sareth was burning with raging flames all over his demon-form body. These flames rose in a V-shape behind him, looking like a pair of flame wings.
“He’s really… a half-demon!” Dante stood up from the ground and stared at Sareth dumbfoundedly.
The scorching heat burned the flammable objects in the museum, causing a fire to break out. In the flames, Sareth roared angrily at Dante and the others. Then he raised his scythe and swung!
Whoosh. A flame blade cut an enormous hole in the roof and walls of the entire museum. Sareth stomped hard and rushed toward the hole at an unparalleled speed.
Lady was the first to react. With a flip of her hands, she took off the rocket launcher on her back and held it in her arms. Then she quickly used the rocket launcher with a bayonet to fire a rocket at the escaping Sareth!
Sareth was just about to rush out, but the rocket behind him attacked, and he had no choice but to turn around to block. A gigantic wave of flames spewed out from his mouth and ignited the incoming rocket, causing it to explode.
However, with this delay, a figure suddenly jumped down from the gap above his head. This figure had a longsword on his back, but his right arm was a very sinister-looking demon arm. It was red with bright blue lines in the center. This figure quietly jumped down from above, then swung this demon arm and smashed it at Sareth’s head!
Bang! Sareth’s eyes almost popped out from the punch. He did not expect that the white-haired bad guy would bring not only the two women but also someone who had been hiding!
Sareth slammed down from the sky and smashed onto the ground with a bang, pounding a big pit on the hard floor.
Despicable… Sareth cursed in his heart while dizzy and lying in the pit.
But in fact, Sareth had wronged Dante this time because when he saw this figure appear, he was also surprised. “Nero?! Why are you here?”
Yes, this new figure was Nero. He had the same white hair as Dante, but it was cut short, unlike Dante’s long hair that was full of decadence, and he carried his sword, Red Queen, on his back. After landing, he could not help but rub his demon right wrist. “I had no choice. When I sent Kyrie back home, I found that this arm was glowing and knew that a demon had appeared. I came to take a look, but I didn’t expect you to be here too…”
“Then you truly came at the right time. One second later, this kid would have really escaped!” Dante shrugged.
When Nero saw Sareth stand up, he could not help but reach out to grab the handle of Red Queen and swung it around. He said solemnly, “I thought there was a demon, but I never thought that it would be a half-demon!”
“Yeah, we’re also surprised!” Dante, Trish, and Lady walked forward, and the four surrounded Sareth. “And this child seems to be searching for information about Sparda…”
When Nero heard this, his expression became even more solemn.
Sareth got up and looked left and right. Then flames erupted from his body again, and he waved his scythe as he rushed at Lady.
“You’re smart!” Lady smiled. Among the four people present, she was indeed the weakest. Sareth choosing her as the breakthrough point was not bad, but…
As expected, the next second, a heavy hand knife hit the back of the charging Sareth. He felt a strong sense of dizziness and fell to the ground.
And at the moment he fainted, he saw a scene that left a deep impression on him. The white-haired man with a red trench coat had also turned into a demon. His skin had turned black, and countless fiery red lines were under his skin. His arms had turned into demon claws, and demon horns had extended from his forehead. His red demon eyes looked cold and ruthless.
The strength of Dante, who had instantly transformed into a demon, was beyond the current Sareth. In fact, if not to prevent Sareth from escaping, he would not have needed to bring so many people. He alone could suppress him.
After knocking down Sareth, he quickly removed his demon form. Similarly, the flames on the unconscious Sareth disappeared, and he returned to his human form. The four of them gathered around to observe Sareth and looked at each other.
“What should we do?” Dante said with a headache. “I’m not good at dealing with children.”
“But we can’t leave him like this, right?” Nero asked.
“Then bring him to your house!” Dante said.
Nero was annoyed. “Why? Isn’t it better to bring him back to your shop?”
Dante spread his hands and shrugged. “It’s very simple. I’ve been without water and electricity for a long time because I don’t have money to pay…” Nero: “…”
Just like that, the four of them carried the unconscious Sareth to Nero’s house and also brought Executioner and Calamity that Sareth had dropped…
