Custom Made Demon King

Chapter 405 Time

April 28th, 10:40 p.m.

The small town of Fortuna was already silent. The people here were like those in other cities, and no one dared to go out at night. They hid in their homes, sealed the doors and windows, and lit the lights, hoping that these lights could dispel the terrifying darkness in the night and allow dawn to come sooner.

But there were also people who were not afraid of the silent night… At this moment, in the small forest not far from Nero’s shop, a few figures gathered here.

Although Kyrie had already coaxed Sareth to sleep, Dante, Nero, Trish, Lady, and Nico were worried that their discussion would wake him up, so they had it here.

What Sareth had said during the day shocked everyone.

In particular, Trish was a demon. She was a demon created by Demon Emperor Mundus to confuse Dante and had an extremely similar appearance to Dante’s mother, Eva. Although she looked human, she was actually a proper demon… Even though she was a created demon, in her understanding, the Demon World was the home of demons, and she had always thought so.

However, what Sareth said overturned everything she knew.

From Sareth’s mouth, she learned that the so-called Demon World was only a so-called outpost. Behind the Demon World was a world called the Abyss, which was the home of all demons in the Infinite Worlds. She initially thought that Demon Emperor Mundus was the strongest and most terrifying demon, but from what Sareth said, she realized that there might be many demons like him in the Abyss…

Every time they thought about this, everyone felt a deep sense of helplessness and despair because they could not imagine what it would be like for a group of demons as powerful as Mundus to appear together.

Perhaps that was the true apocalypse…

Nico was smoking in silence, Trish and Lady did not say a word, and Dante and Nero were pacing back and forth. Everyone’s mind was in a mess.

Fortunately, this strange atmosphere did not last long. Dante broke the silence as he spread his hands and said, “Hey, don’t be like this. Are we going to stay like this until dawn? Give your opinions. How should we deal with that brat Sareth?!”

“Does this still need thinking?” Trish said. “Behind that kid is a powerful demon lord comparable to Sparda. No matter what he wants to do by getting Sareth to come to this world, it definitely won’t be a good thing. So my opinion is to prevent trouble before it happens and imprison Sareth! Or kill him directly! In short, we can’t let him mess around in this world.”

“Hey, he’s just a child!” Nico immediately retorted. “Perhaps he’s only being used by his demon foster father. Is there a need to be so extreme?”

Trish refuted, “It’s precisely because that demon might be using him that we have to stop him decisively. Are we going to let him go just because he’s a child? As you can see, Sareth is a child raised by demons. His worldview and his understanding are exactly the same as those of demons. He’s just a demon in human skin!”

“Hey, you make it sound like you’re not a demon in human skin!” Nico’s mouth was venomous as she retorted. “You’re a demon yourself. Are you on the demons’ side?”

“It’s not the same!” Trish said weakly.

At this moment, Lady said, “I think Nico is right. Even if Sareth has the worldview and understanding of demons, just like you, Trish, it’s not impossible to reverse this view…”

Trish looked at her and shut up resentfully.

Although when it came to matters relating to Dante, Trish and Lady often competed with each other. In fact, the two women were good friends in private. What Lady said now was actually biased toward Trish, so Trish could not say anything. Seeing that the three women were not arguing currently, Nero quickly said, “Actually, I feel that we haven’t grasped the main point. Although Sareth’s foster father is indeed a powerful demon, don’t you remember? Sareth said that his foster father can’t come to our world for the time being!”

“That’s right!” Dante said. “The stronger the demon, the harder it is to appear in the human world. After fighting against demons for so many years, I’ve discovered this. Moreover, it seems that this rule is not only effective against the demons of the Demon World but also for the Abyss that Sareth mentioned.”

“So, we actually don’t need to worry about Sareth for now!” Nero concluded. “What we should really care about is the Demon Bible stele that he mentioned. Although we don’t know what this thing is for, we have to prepare for the worst. This Demon Bible stele can help Sareth’s foster father, that powerful demon lord, enter our world! In that case, can’t we find it before Sareth?”

“This is also a solution!” Lady nodded. “No matter what the demon behind Sareth wants to use him for, we only need to destroy what he’s trying to do.”

“But the biggest problem is…” Dante smiled wryly and spread his hands. “We don’t know what the stele looks like or where it is…”

“This isn’t actually a bad thing!” Nico exhaled a mouthful of smoke and smiled. “Since even we locals don’t know about it, it should be very difficult for Sareth to find it, right?” “That’s true…” Trish nodded. “However, just in case, I think that regardless of whether Sareth can find it or not, we should find a way to hold it in our hands. As long as we hide this thing, we can absolutely prevent Sareth from succeeding.”

“That’s true. But we don’t have any clues!” Dante said.

“No! Maybe someone knows!” After saying this, Lady stared intently at Dante. The others gradually understood, so everyone looked at Dante.

Of course, Dante knew what she meant and paced around in frustration.

Although he had never heard of the Demon Bible, there was one person who might haveDante’s brother, Vergil!

When the demons attacked Dante’s family in revenge, Dante’s mother, Eva, had hidden him to protect him and died. Although the incident back then had caused Dante trauma, Eva had made him feel profound maternal love deep in his heart. So when he grew up, although he appeared rebellious, he was passionate, and his experiences let him have more human nature in him.

At that time, Vergil had been separated from Eva and Dante due to an accident, causing him to struggle to survive by himself. Moreover, by chance, he went to the Demon World, where he could only fight against demons by himself and bitterly survive alone. This led to Vergil’s realization that strength was everything, and only those with great strength could survive. Especially after learning about his mother’s death, he realized that only powerful strength could protect the things important to him.

It was precisely because of this understanding that Vergil was very cold and ruthless after growing up. His values were worlds apart from those of Dante…

Vergil, who was desperate for power, had been searching everywhere for the power of their father, Sparda. From the Demon World to the human world, Vergil had always been tracking down his father’s traces, so if there was anyone in this world who knew Sparda the best, it would definitely be him. If Sparda really had a stone stele like the Demon Bible, then the only person who might know its whereabouts was Vergil.

However, this was what troubled Dante. He had lost contact with Vergil for a long time, so he had no idea where he was.

The weapon that Vergil had always carried with him, Yamato, was currently in Nero’s right demon arm. The time when Nero obtained Yamato was five years ago during the Order of the Sword incident. In other words, it had been at least five years since Dante had lost contact with Vergil. If you were to look back in detail, it should have been when Trish appeared ten years ago and led Dante to Mallet Island. At that time, Dante had encountered a black knight holding a sword. At first, he did not know who it was, but after defeating him, the black knight had dropped the other half of the amulet he had, and he realized that it might have been his brother, Vergil (Devil May Cry events).

So all these years, there had been no news of Vergil. How could it be possible for Dante to find Vergil and ask about the Demon Bible…

“Let’s do this!” Dante finally had no choice but to say, “Let’s go back first and try to investigate some of the things about Sparda back then. Although it’s been a long time, maybe we can find something. In addition, we can also ask for help from the information broker Morrison. He has a lot of sources of information, so there could be an unexpected discovery… As for Vergil… I don’t think we can count on him…”

“It seems like we can only do it this way…” Trish turned the guns in her hands around. The two guns in her hands were actually one of Sparda’s relics, called ‘Luce & Ombra’. In addition, there had been Force Edge, but this sword was used to seal the Demon World’s tower, Temen-ni-gru. There were only a handful of relics that Sparda had left behind. If they wanted to find the Demon Bible stele, they could only think of solutions from all aspects. “Sareth will stay with you first!” Dante said to Nero. “You and Nico watch over him. Don’t let him run around. If he really wants to leave, then knock him out and tie him up!”

Nero shrugged. “Let’s talk about it when we have to! In any case, if we really do that, the trust relationship we built with him with great difficulty will go up in smoke…” “But it’s still better than letting him attract a powerful demon, right?” Dante patted Nero’s shoulder. “I’ll leave it to you!” With that, he called for Trish and Lady, and the three of them drove back to the city where the shop was as Nero and Nico watched them

Trish drove the car while Dante sat in the passenger’s seat with his hands on his head, not saying a word. Where the hell are you, Vergil… Who knew if Dante had the attribute of a jinx. Not long after he left, a swaying figure appeared in Fortuna…

April 30th was the beginning of another incident…
