Chapter 407 - Sareth and V (1/2)
Sareth had doubts in his heart, but he did not forget his purpose for coming here.
When he heard a faint sound not far away, he leaned forward carefully. In a wide corridor, he finally saw the mysterious cloaked man.
This mysterious cloaked man was currently staggering forward, and he did not seem to be in a good state, so he did not notice that a small tail was following behind him. Sareth tried his best to hide his figure as he approached the mysterious man bit by bit.
Sareth’s heart was beating like a drum. He chased after the mysterious man because he wanted to take back Nero’s arm, but he also realized that the mysterious man had used some unknown method to turn Nero’s right arm into a blade. At this moment, the blade was in the man’s hand. If he wanted to snatch it, he had to seize the opportune moment to succeed in one blow. Sneak attacking was a test of people’s mental strength.
Unknowingly, Sareth followed the mysterious man through the long corridor and arrived in a room. After arriving, the mysterious man suddenly stopped.
Sareth was shocked and quickly stopped and found a place to hide.
Then he heard the mysterious person say, “Dante…”
Before Sareth could figure out why the mysterious man would say Dante’s name, he saw the mysterious man raise the sharp, long blade, hold it with both hands, and stab it into his abdomen!
Sareth was dumbfounded. He really did not expect the mysterious person to do something so shocking. He was still thinking about how to sneak attack, but he did not expect the other party to kill himself first!
Under the dim light, Sareth saw the tip of the blade sticking out from the mysterious man’s pierced back. Blood kept flowing out from the tip, and a bloody smell immediately permeated the air. The mysterious man did not care as he said in a rhythmic tone, “… Entwined all around this body is… bone-chilling, icy chains… In the name of Sparda, come out!”
With his voice, Sareth saw a flash of light on the mysterious man’s back, and then a naked person was suddenly squeezed out from his back!
Sareth thought that his eyes were playing tricks on him and could not help but rub them. But then he found that he was not mistaken. The figure was really squeezed out!
After being squeezed out, this naked man was lying on the ground, looking weak. The mysterious man with a blade in his chest was currently kneeling on the ground. He raised his head and let out a heart-piercing scream at the sky, as though he had broken free of some restraint at this moment. An evil, immense magic power began to emerge from his body.
Sareth witnessed this process with his own eyes. Under the dim light, he saw half of the mysterious man’s face under his cloak. The skin on the side of his face was terrifyingly pale, and there were purplish-red blood vessels under his skin. But when this magic power began to emerge, the color of his skin started to change rapidly, and a black horny layer climbed onto his face.
This magic power, this transformation, and this aura were not unfamiliar to Sareth at all. It was the aura of a demon! Not only did this mysterious man separate a man from himself after stabbing himself, but he also turned himself into a complete demon!
Sareth was drenched in cold sweat. The demon in front of him was changing. His body was gradually becoming bigger, and the magic power pressure emanating from him was astonishing. He quickly surpassed the high-rank demon who had abducted Sareth and continued to grow.
Demon lord?! Sareth was terrified. He felt that this demon’s aura was infinitely close to his foster father’s.
The thought of sneak attacking and taking back Nero’s arm had already disappeared. Sareth only hoped that the demon could not see him, so he restrained his magic power with all his might to reduce his presence.
The cloak on the mysterious man could no longer cover his body as the ever-increasing height of his body directly burst the cloak. A large number of black tissue that resembled whip-like appendages grew out of the mysterious man’s body, and a thick layer of bone armor began to cover his body.
Finally, the mysterious man turned into a three-meter-tall giant with waving tentacles all over his body. There was even some liquid dripping from his body. Sareth did not know if it was blood or body fluids, but it emitted a putrid smell that made him want to vomit.
The long blade in the mysterious demon’s hand now had a layer of crystals wrapping around it and had turned into a pillar-shaped object full of spikes. This object floated beside the mysterious demon and slowly rotated.
After completing the drastic changes from human to demon, this tall demon panted heavily and slammed through the wall without looking back.
Sareth merely watched quietly and did not dare to chase after him at all. Fortunately, this demon did not seem to have any thoughts about the two people in the house and did not attack them. But after leaving the manor, he held the spike-shaped pillar and swung down to open a spatial channel. But what was different was that the aura of the Demon World came from the opposite side of the spatial rift, and there were the faint roars of demons.
This demon stretched out his hands to pull open the edge of the spatial rift and entered.
