Chapter 415 - You Haven’t Swallowed a Soul?! (1/2)

When Sareth returned to the small town of Fortuna and went to Nero’s store, he found that there was currently a gloomy atmosphere.

“What’s… wrong?” Sareth looked at everyone with a puzzled expression.

“Sareth?! You…” When Nico saw Sareth, she was stunned for a long time. When she came back to her senses, she suddenly stepped forward, held Sareth’s shoulders, and looked him up and down excitedly. “Great, you’re okay!”

Sareth twisted his shoulders unnaturally and shook off Nico’s hand before looking at V. “Didn’t you tell them?”

At this moment, V was looking down at the poetry book in his hand and said slowly, “Sorry, I forgot…” Yes, Nero, Nico, and Kyrie had not received any news about Sareth recently. Ever since Sareth rushed into the spatial rift, they had not seen him, so they thought that something had happened to him. After V brought Nero back, he did not mention him, so Nico and Kyrie were very excited to see him.

Of course, Dante, Lady, and Trish were lost in the Qliphoth, and this incident was a tremendous blow to Nero. After losing his right arm, he had lost most of his strength, so not only did he not help in this battle, but he had instead become a burden. This made Nero very dejected, and he was currently blaming himself strongly. So when Sareth appeared safe and sound, Nero was a little excited and asked, “Sareth, where have you been during this time?”

“Here. I went looking for the Demon Bible stele!” Sareth did not hide it as he put down the bag on his back and showed the stele to everyone.

“Is this the thing you were talking about?” Nico and Nero gathered around the stele curiously and sized it up. But no one, including Nero, could understand the demon characters on it.

After looking at it for a long time, Nero could not find anything, so he could only ask Sareth, “What’s the use of this thing?”

“I actually don’t know…” Sareth scratched his head. “Foster Father asked me to find it, but he once said that there are seven of them in total. It seems like you have to gather all seven before you can understand the specific usage…” “What kind of demon is your foster father?” Nico could not help but ask when she heard him mention his foster father again.

Sareth said with a look of admiration, “He’s a very powerful demon lord. I heard from Mother Julia that he is probably the fastest demon to promote from high-rank demon to lord in the entire Abyss! Mother Benia also said that even though Foster Father has just become a demon lord not long ago, he’s already stronger than many demon lords! He may be the most promising demon to promote to the demon king level in the Abyss in the past thousand years!”

Hearing this, Nico could not help but look worriedly at Nero. They all knew that Sareth’s foster father was a powerful demon lord, and he had sent Sareth to search for this Demon Bible stele that Spada had taken away. Now that Sareth had found it, and Nico and Nero had not been able to stop him, they did not know what he would do next and whether the foster father he mentioned would descend into this world…

Now that Urizen, a powerful demon, had appeared, if Sareth’s foster father appeared as well, then…

Therefore, Nico and Nero felt that it was necessary to understand what kind of demon this foster father of Sareth was. In their impression, demons were cruel and bloodthirsty evil existences, but… weren’t there demons like Sparda? In addition, Trish was also a demon, and she was now on the side of humans. Although Sareth’s foster father was a demon lord, since this demon was willing to adopt a demon-human hybrid, perhaps they could communicate with him?

Urizen’s strength had exceeded Nero’s and Dante’s expectations. So at this moment, Nero, who was in a dejected state, actually had the thought of ‘Can we get Sareth’s foster father to deal with Urizen?’

Of course, Nero knew that this thought was very dangerous, so he quickly threw it aside.

V, who was standing at the back, realized that Sareth’s background had exceeded his imagination. He had thought that Sareth was a friend of Dante… or possibly his offspring or something. Now, after hearing what Sareth said, he realized that it was totally different from what he had imagined, so he raised his head and looked at Sareth in surprise.

Was it a mistake for me to tell him the clue about the Demon Bible stele? V thought.

However… it was already a fact that Sareth had found this stele. Even if V regretted it, it was useless. The only good news was that this stele did not look strange…

Sareth did not think too much about it. After chatting for a while, he remembered to ask where Dante and the others had gone. But when he asked this question, the room fell silent again. After a long time, Nero told Sareth about what had happened in the Qliphoth. It was only then that Sareth knew that such an enormous change had occurred in the past ten days after he left.

“Is that Urizen really that powerful?” Sareth asked in surprise.

Nero and V nodded in agreement. What else could they say? Urizen had beaten them badly just by sitting there. If this was not powerful, then what was?
