Chapter 404 Terrifying Chapter Name

Sareth did not think about escaping but stayed at Nero’s house temporarily. First, he knew that he could not defeat Dante and the others, and if he ran away, they would most likely catch him again. Second, he subconsciously recognized them as his kind after confirming Dante and Nero’s identities.

With Nero and the others, the feeling of estrangement that Sareth had after entering the human world disappeared a lot. Sareth was only a child, so of course, he did not like being alone. Now that he had people to talk with, he was naturally willing to communicate.

Nero’s garage was also Nico’s workshop. There were many things that Sareth found strange here. Out of curiosity, he kept asking Nico questions, and she patiently answered them. She even showed him the use of some of the tools and let him try them personally sometimes.

If Nico was considered a big sister who would occasionally play pranks, then Kyrie was the complete opposite. She was a very gentle and caring woman. Toward Sareth, she treated him like the other adopted orphans. Although she did not say much, Sareth saw Cassandra in her.

In addition, there was Trish and Lady. Although they had not interacted much with Sareth, they had always maintained their smiles. With these few women around, Sareth’s psychological defenses naturally fell again and again. Over the next two days, after seeing that Sareth did not intend to escape, Dante and Nero had a discussion and returned Sareth’s weapons to him.

This won Sareth’s favor, and he finally decided not to pursue the matter of Dante and Nero beating him up.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Dante and Nero asked their doubts at the dinner table.

“Sareth, I’ve always been curious. Where do you come from?” Dante pretended to say casually while holding a knife and fork to eat a steak. “You seem to be investigating the demon swordsman Sparda. Is there something you want to do?”

Upon hearing this question, Sareth, who was eating, abruptly stopped. But just as the atmosphere was about to become stiff, Kyrie, who was sitting beside Sareth, reached out to touch his hair and said gently, “Don’t worry. We’re just curious. Moreover, maybe we can help you if you say

it.”

“That’s right!” Lady said timely. “I don’t dare to say anything else, but when it comes to Sparda, we have the right to speak.”

Sareth looked around and found that everyone was staring at him, and he could not help sighing heavily.

He was not stupid. Of course, he understood why Dante and the others brought him back. Although these people were very good to him, he did not forget the missions Roy gave him.

However… he knew very well that he knew too little about this human world. If he wanted to find the history of Sparda and the Demon Bible, he did not know how long it would take for him to investigate it by himself. So after thinking about it, he decided to say it and ask for help from these people. He lowered his head and started eating again. As he ate, he said, “What I’m looking for is called the Demon Bible. This is my mission.”

“Demon Bible?” After hearing this term, the others were confused. In fact, many of the terms that Sareth said confused them… Dante could not help but ask, “What is that?”

“It’s… something like a stone stele!” Sareth recalled the piece that Roy had shown him and described it. “It looks like an ancient stone stele with demon characters engraved on it. It’s been too long, and the characters are somewhat illegible.”

“What’s… the use of this thing?” Nero asked with a frown.

“Actually, I don’t know what use it has…” Sareth said. “I just want to find it. It’s said that a demon lord named Sparda took this thing away to this world. I wanted to find if there were any records of this thing in the museum…”

Subconsciously, everyone looked at Dante. He was the son of Sparda, and he should know what Sparda had left behind. Unfortunately, he frowned and thought for a long time, but he did not recall anything.

In fact, Dante… and even his brother, Vergil, had very vague memories of their father. He could not even remember his father’s appearance.

There was nothing he could do about it. When he was six years old, demons had attacked his home, and his mother had died because of it. His home had been burned down, and the family portrait that had been hanging in his house had also burned down at that time. The portrait had his father’s human appearance, but after decades, he could not remember much.

As for the relics left behind by his father, Dante only recognized the sword Rebellion in his hands and Yamato, the sword of his brother, Vergil. Yamato was now stored in Nero’s demon right arm, and Rebellion was on him. Other than that, there was nothing else that his father, Sparda, had left behind.

Therefore, Dante could only say, “Sareth, are you mistaken? I’ve never heard that Sparda has something like the Demon Bible…”

“No, there definitely is!” Sareth shook his head. “Foster Father won’t be wrong. If he says there is, there definitely is!”

Nero put down the fork in his hand and said doubtfully, “Sareth, you’ve mentioned the word ‘foster father’ twice. Who is this person? You seem to trust him a lot…” “Of course! It was Foster Father who adopted me!” Sareth said matter-of-factly as he raised his fingers and counted. “And Mother Cassandra, Mother Julia, Mother Benia… Well, Mother Benia is too strict with me, and I’m a little afraid of her, but she’s actually very good to me…”

This child has three mothers? With this thought popping into Dante’s mind, he suddenly felt a little envious of Sareth’s so-called foster father! He is a winner in life!

“Sareth, you don’t seem to be from this world, so your foster father isn’t either?” Trish suddenly asked. “Yes, of course not!” Sareth nodded. “I come from the Abyss. Foster Father and the others can’t come for the time being, so they asked me to come first…”

“Abyss? What is this place?” Trish, Lady, and the others looked at each other in confusion.

“The Abyss is the Abyss!” Sareth did not know how to describe it. He gestured to describe Frostfire City. “It’s full of snow falling all year round, and the temperature is very low and cold. It’s only slightly warmer in Frostfire City that Foster Father built because there’s an underground volcano…”

Dante, Nero, and the others listened to Sareth’s descriptions with rapt attention. They were actually quite curious about the world where Sareth lived.
