Yawning loudly, Kirito rubbed his eyes that were still in a hazy state, and walked forward with a somewhat frivolous pace. Thanks to that boy Nero last night, the temporary sleeping place disappeared gloriously.

After he left, he had to find another place to live again, and the demons who seemed to be on stimulants at night made him sleep restlessly all night long.

"Next time you meet that guy, you must make him look good." Kirito muttered in a low voice with a look of displeasure on his face. From the very beginning when he met him, he was basically met with bad luck. Especially the first time, he was almost killed.

Killing, although it did not stab the heart, the pain that penetrated the chest was like death.

It must be said that this forest is really big enough. Even after Echidna's death, the remaining magic power still allows the forest to continue to grow. It seems that it cannot wither within a year or so.

"It's troublesome." As a otaku who used to stay at home and play on the computer every day, traveling far away was not what Kirito was good at, let alone wandering around in a ridiculously big place.

Walking through a slightly weird maze, the reason why it is weird is mainly because of the stone slab in the middle. Obviously the 'Father-in-the-Sun' in the sky has always been in the same position, but for some reason, the shadow cast by the stone slab changes.

Kirito stayed here for a long time before he found a way out.

After walking through the maze, we finally came to an ancient bridge that seemed to be of some age. It was a tastefully designed marble bridge. The most surprising thing was that in front of the stone bridge was a bridge similar to the Colosseum in ancient Rome.

The headquarters of the Magic Sword Order is behind the round platform. It is a huge castle. If you look at the appearance of the castle at night, it will give people the feeling of Count Dracula's castle.

"The designer really has good taste." Walking on the ancient bridge, Kirito looked around at the designs around him. It must be said that the designer who designed this place was definitely well-known in the architectural design industry at the time he lived.

The presence.

"Old Records Bridge, this name is really tacky." The beautiful ancient bridge has a name that is so tacky that people doubt it. Maybe people who lived in the past didn't have the talent for naming.

After passing through the round platform, right at the gate of the Demon Sword Order, a familiar figure seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time. He was sitting on the steps, inserting the long sword in his hand and spinning it around in boredom.

This figure is somewhat similar to Nero in terms of clothing and hair. The only difference is probably the temperament of the two people. The red figure sitting on the steps exudes a lazy temperament, giving people the impression of a cynical uncle.

His face, and the unbridled aura that could drive people crazy just by being close to Kirito.

"Hey, you're late, boy."

"Obviously you came too quickly, my master."

That's right, the red figure who resembles Nero is naturally Kirito's current master, Dante, the director of the "Devils Can Cry" agency, a professional demon hunter, and the strongest demon hunter in the "other world".

"No need to say any more polite words, let me tell you about my experiences these past few days." Originally, Kirito was too lazy to talk to this unruly master and walked side by side to the two of them at the headquarters of the Demon Sword Order.

While walking and talking, of course, Kirito was only telling one-sided stories about his experiences, and Dante would only occasionally ask some questions from time to time. Most of the time, Kirito was still talking, while Dante listened.

"Huh?! What you mean is that the malice in your body has been temporarily controlled." When Dante heard that I used his brother's knife to control the malice in my body, he couldn't help but look at me in surprise and said.

"Well, but it's only temporary. It will take some time to completely control them. The evil in this world is caused by the malice of humans all over the world. If it were so easy to control, then I wouldn't be the one who was just killed again.

During the year of erosion, I was troubled by nightmares every day." Kirito can never forget how he survived the first year of erosion by the 'black mud'. He often lost himself because of a little mood swing too fast, and was caught in his dreams at night.

The curses of countless people awakened me, and even sometimes when I closed my eyes at night, the resentful faces of human beings appeared in my mind.

"So... where is my brother's sword?" Dante suddenly showed an anxious expression that he had never seen before, and said. The malice that even he could not do anything about was suppressed by the Yama sword. Naturally, he was not allowed to have it again.

Weapons with such power continue to roam the world.

"Ah!" Kirito smacked his palms and sighed in a tone of 'So you were looking for it.' Just when Dante breathed a sigh of relief, he said something that almost made him vomit three liters of blood. "Because of some

The reason is, I lent it to someone else, but it doesn’t matter, if it’s him, he will get it back soon.”

Kirito told Dante some things about Nero. Of course, the most important thing was that his strange right hand could control the Yama Sword.

"Do you think that right hand is your brother..." Kirito said in a very ambiguous tone. Even if he didn't point it out, Dante has lived for so long, so it's impossible not to hear the meaning in Kirito's words.

significance.

"You mean my brother used his own power in the end...??" Dante asked with a frown. To be honest, he didn't find this fact very credible. After all, he killed Vergil himself.

, if he is really still alive, how could he not feel anything at all? Although the two people who had been inseparable in the past gradually became strangers after their father passed the weapon to the two, the twins' unique telepathy is still there.

It cannot be eliminated.

"I can't give an answer to this. Maybe we can get the answer when the two of us go to see that boy." Kirito spread his hands and looked like I couldn't help it, don't ask me.

The two of them had no clue for a while and could only continue to walk deeper into the castle. Fortunately, the two of them moved faster than one. The demons along the way were all solved by the two of them with a few blows. When they came to a place

When they entered the dormitory-like room, the two finally spotted the hazy red figure in front of them.

Naturally, Kirito would not miss this opportunity. He took out a Senbon that had not been used for a long time from his waist and threw it out. With the sound of "whooshing" through the air, the golden needle cut through the air in front of him and flew out.

"Huh?" The red figure walking in front naturally felt the sound of the air cracking behind him, and his body reacted by pulling out the Crimson Queen behind him to block it, and found that it turned out to be a throwing object that looked like a golden needle.

"It's you?!" Nero immediately spotted the familiar black figure behind him. "He actually called for help." When he found Dante next to Kirito, his face became even more ugly. He had only dealt with me before.

One person is very reluctant, and now there is one more person. If it were before, he would choose to escape first, but since he got the knife, he doesn't think he can't beat the two of us now, and he will win if he goes.

No, at least it shouldn't be too difficult to escape.

I knew that the past was inappropriate, but when I thought about being almost killed by the knife that I had access to, the anger in my heart could no longer be suppressed. Nero turned around and raised his fist and rushed towards Kirito, completely ignoring the many people around him.

When Dante came out, for some reason he thought that the other party was just here to make soy sauce.

'Pah!' The fist that exuded a blue light was easily received by Kirito, who was already prepared. Of course, the 'Gilgamesh' protective gear and gloves also appeared, otherwise he would have to rely on his physical strength.

I really didn't dare to take this attack forcefully.

"I don't have much time this time, so I'll get straight to the point."

At this time, Nero was like a crazy lion, constantly punching Kirito in the face, not obeying the rule of not hitting people in the face at all.

"Tch, it seems we can't have a good conversation, huh?!" After saying this, Kirito gestured with his eyes to the current master not far away who was looking at Nero with a surprised look as he kept waving his right hand. Dante understood.

, jumped to a protruding place above a corner and sat down, looking at the two people in the middle of the field with eyes that looked like they were watching a game, which made Kirito really want to show his face that he wanted to be beaten.

Come up with a few punches.

He dodged an unorganized straight punch from Nero sideways, stretched out his legs and let out a hurdle. Nero, who didn't expect Kirito to use such a move at all, turned into a flying trapeze.

When he got out, the 'boom' knocked out a large human-shaped hole in the wall.

"I came here just for the knife you took from me." Kirito put on the glove and protective gear, carried the interpreter on his shoulders, and walked slowly thinking about the big hole in front of him, while not forgetting to say

own purpose.

"That's what you're talking about!" Suddenly, a terrifying wind pressure came from the powerful hole. Kirito couldn't help but subconsciously block the front with his hands, and only exposed one eye to observe the front.

The red figure walked out of the big hole, and the blue magic power formed a tall humanoid shadow behind him, like a black knight wearing black armor.

"Give me the knife, otherwise I will not be responsible for what will happen later, kid." Despise the opponent in words and value the opponent in action. This has always been the battle plan taught by Dante to Kirito.

"Boy?! Okay, don't show that cute pink expression on your beautiful face when I hit you." It was obviously a hooligan's words full of ruthlessness, but what came out of Nero's mouth at this time was...

I don't think so at all, probably because of the double tone, besides Nero's voice, there is another majestic voice in it.

"Huh!" Dante, who was watching the show aside, couldn't help but whistle frivolously.

Swinging the Yama Sword in his hand from bottom to top, a crescent-like blue sword light came straight towards Kirito. The road it passed fell apart, and a deep ravine was carved out by the sword energy, which also started the prelude to the battle.
