Chapter Sixteen, Devil May Cry 4 (Where Dreams Begin 5)(1/3)
When everyone walked into the Advent Room, at first glance, they saw that they were surrounded by cage-like rooms with some human beings in them...
No, it should be said that it is a demon that has not completely changed, and has lost part of its body and only a little bit of consciousness.
"It seems that these are all unfinished and failed products! No wonder they can't be found. It turns out they are locked up here!"
Looking at the "things" in the cage, Tracy said something slightly angrily.
Letty, who also saw all this, had a look of sympathy on her face and continued:
"I never imagined that there are always so many lucky people in this world! I know there may be some risks..."
Bang! Bang! Bang!…
At the same time, a gunshot rang out, and then Dante blew the light smoke rising from the muzzle of the gun, and then said with a complicated expression:
"This can be considered a relief!"
After finishing speaking, Dante looked at Beja and Angelo, mother and son, who were walking in front. Just as he was about to move on, there was a sudden loud noise, and the surrounding space suddenly shook, and dust
Falling from the sky...
"That's..."
At this time, Beya suddenly called out in confusion, and then reached out to catch the white feathers falling from the sky...
"It seems something big happened, Nero..."
The feathers turned into golden light and disappeared. Beiya clenched the sword in her hand and said with a frown, the worry in her eyes was obvious...
"If you are worried, then go and have a look!"
After patting his mother's shoulder and comforting him, Angelo nodded to the trio behind him, and then took the lead and ran towards the huge stone statue in the center.
Angelo didn't pay attention when he first came in. When he came to the foot of the stone statue, a look of shock flashed in his eyes, and an indescribable sense of oppression arose...
Although the mother and son have often dealt with demons in the past few years, even huge demons have not been seen before, but this huge stone statue in front of them is really unprecedented.
He made a rough calculation in his mind and found that it was probably more than a hundred meters or even higher. With his extraordinary perception and computing power, Angelo had already calculated the basic data of this stone statue...
"Tch! He looks like Ultraman. Apart from being a little bigger, he doesn't have much strength, and his weaknesses are too obvious. It's really an incomprehensible aesthetic!"
After dispelling the oppressive feeling that enveloped his heart, Angelo shook his head and commented with disdain.
"Isn't it? I really don't know why these guys like this kind of tune..."
At this time, Dante, who was walking here, heard Angelo's words and answered.
Different from what Angelo felt, this stone statue reminded Dante of a very powerful opponent he had defeated before, that is, the legendary king of the demon world - Demon Emperor Mendes...
For a long time in the future, I didn't meet a decent opponent, so much so that if I hadn't been accompanied by a so-called "close minister" of the Demon Emperor, I would have forgotten...
"Then just dismantle it, but there was still movement just now..."
He muttered something secretly, and then followed Angelo in front.
When the two arrived at the bottom floor, as Ru Yan could see, the "dead" Pope stood above the huge stone statue, with a golden light shining on his body, holding the Yama Sword in his hand, with an excited look on his face.
His expression seemed to be telling something.
And under his feet, where the sapphire was inlaid on the forehead of the stone statue, a blond girl whose upper body was about to fall was restrained. It was Ji Liye, and Nero...
At this time, Nero was no longer as high-spirited as when they first met, and he looked extremely decadent when he was held by the stone statue...
It seemed that not long after everything happened, just when Angelo wanted to fly up and kill the Pope, a demon with a one-winged angel posture instantly landed in front of the Pope, and then made a horizontal slash across the Pope's waist, hitting the Pope.
Fly out.
"Nero! Run!"
Nero, who was struggling in the hands of the stone statue, suddenly heard a familiar cry, it was Credo.
Later, when he saw the pope being knocked out, Nero felt happy, and then he planned to break free quickly.
Just as he freed one arm, Credo's painful screams sounded again. When Nero looked up, he saw Credo's chest being stabbed through by the Demonic Sword.
"Credo!"
Seeing this scene, Nero screamed angrily.
Then, after the impaled Credo returned to his human form, he raised his trembling arms and grabbed the Pope's neck.
Seeing Credo's reaction, the Pope showed no mercy. He just used a little force and stabbed the Yama knife deeper.
"Although I received the report from Agnus... I didn't expect you to betray me... Why? You should be the most loyal and reliable man..."
The Pope, who looked disappointed, asked Credo a few questions in a tone full of doubts.
Facing the Pope's question, Credo vomited blood and lowered his head to look at Ji Liye, who was hanging half of his body from the savior's body:
"For the paradise you believe in, I will do anything...even if it makes my hands dirty, but it is to let more people be saved...but, you actually used Ji Liye, even Ji Liye
...My sister...her heart is more pure and flawless than anyone else...! What is the meaning of such a paradise...! What is the meaning of a paradise that no one like Ji Liye deserves...!
"
Credo wanted to grab the Pope's neck again, but he had no strength. After the Pope waved him away, Credo weakly lowered his head.
"Credo!"
The Pope sneered:
"In other words...family affection? What a boring idea...what we firmly believe in is only the supreme power..."
After saying that, he pushed Credo's body away, but Credo had no ability to resist and was separated from the Pope. Credo's body fell down.
Seeing this, Dante hurriedly jumped into the air, instantly caught the falling Credo, landed firmly on the ground, and smiled at the caught Nero.
Later, Shanshan's three daughters, who were late, also arrived at the scene.
Looking at Dante below, the Pope standing above the savior smiled proudly, then looked at Tracy, sighed, and asked in a faint tone:
"Finally revealed her true face? Gloria!"
"Did you really reveal your secret? It seems that I should dress more plainly!"
Tracy shrugged and replied nonchalantly.
Then, the Pope looked at Dante again and smiled proudly. Just when he was about to say something, Beja beside him finally spoke.
"Sandonis! Do you still recognize me? Well~, maybe you shouldn't forget it!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, Beja, who called the Pope by his real name, instantly attracted the Pope's attention. Nero, who was caught by the savior, also looked in that direction...
Just one glance, just one glance, Nero had already confirmed that the young woman was his mother...
"Mother?"
He murmured quietly, and before Nero could ask, the Pope's surprised voice instantly resounded throughout the whole room.
"Beatrice?? Augustus?? Lawrence! No! Why is it you? You should have been dead long ago..."
As he spoke, a trace of fear and panic flashed in his eyes, and then he nodded with great certainty and said in a confirming tone:
"Ah! It turned out to be you. I really didn't expect that it was you and that man who gave birth to him..."
Having said this, the Pope glanced down and immediately saw Angelo standing behind Dante, and then pointed:
"Huh? There's another one? I should have thought of it earlier! The man who came to Fortuna seventeen years ago, Virgil! It was you who proposed to the headquarters at that time to contact that man, but~ I really didn't expect it...
"
Not paying attention to Beja's cold eyes below, the Pope suddenly showed an extremely excited expression on his face and narrated:
"Beja, look at all this. If your grandfather, that damn old man, hadn't chosen to make that stupid Muniz the pope, all of this would have been done long ago..."
Having said this, Sandonis paused for a moment, a look of memory flashed across his face, took a deep breath, and slowly added:
"It's a pity that it was completed too late! But although all this was extremely difficult, it was still completed. You are no longer qualified to stop the savior!
So, it turns out that I am right, and you, Beja, as the only remaining member of your family, watch all this on behalf of your grandfather! Hahahaha!"
After saying that, the proud Pope moved his gaze to Nero. When he was about to say something else, Dante interrupted.
"Oh! I think this kid is quite motivated!"
Dante's words distracted the Pope's attention for a moment...
At that moment, Nero roared, stretched out his gigantic demonic hand, grabbed the pope who had not reacted, and slapped him on the savior's body. The huge impact
The force caused the savior's entire body to shake violently.
But the next moment, he felt that Sandonis had disappeared from his hand. Before Nero had time to react, he only saw that his right arm was instantly pierced by the Demonic Sword.
Holding back the pain, Nero saw the pope slowly emerging from the savior's wrist.
"Give up the useless struggle! You can't escape anymore! You will become a part of the savior..."
Looking at Nero who was still struggling, Sandonis said in a faint tone.
"Maybe he really can't escape..."
Watching this scene, Beja suppressed her anger and said something to Sandonis. When the latter looked over, Beja added:
"I gave up once, but now, I will never let go again, Nero! I will definitely rescue you, I swear!"
To be continued...
