Chapter 422 The Lucky Sareth
Sareth was not stupid. After hearing what Cerberus said, his eyes rolled, and he immediately understood.
Cerberus said that its demon contract was in Mundus’s hands, and according to Sareth’s investigation, this possible demon king named Mundus seemed to have been sealed by Sparda. However, being sealed meant that he was not dead. In other words, Cerberus’s demon contract was still in effect, but Mundus could not give it any orders now. Thus, when Demon Lord Urizen appeared, Cerberus had to obey Urizen’s orders temporarily due to his strength.
It was only obedience, not allegiance. Perhaps in the eyes of Cerberus, Urizen was still inferior to Mundus… This led to Cerberus having its own ideas and actions despite being sent out by Urizen to investigate. “In other words, we’re not enemies?” Sareth probed. The three heads of Cerberus snorted and said disdainfully, “It’s too easy to kill a half-demon brat like you. But since you’re still useful, I don’t mind keeping you around for a while…” “Okay, then I’m coming down!” Sareth carefully stared at Cerberus and began to go down. Cerberus allowed him to land without attacking. Standing in front of Cerberus, Sareth was too short. He raised his head. “The seal has indeed loosened, but it’s still not easy to summon Brother Fat Tiger to this world. I don’t have any offerings…. Besides, I still have something very important to do now, so I can’t delay it. If you’re willing to wait until I’ve finished my business, find the offerings, and then summon Brother Fat Tiger…” “Hmph… How troublesome!” Cerberus paced around. “What are you going to do?” “Find someone!” Sareth said. “I’ll help you find them!” Cerberus said impatiently. “I can also prepare the offerings for you. Once you’re done, you have to summon that guy immediately!” Sareth’s eyes widened. There’s such a good thing?! To be honest, the conditions that Cerberus gave were beyond his imagination. He really could not understand what Cerberus was thinking. Could it be that deciding who the true king of hellhounds was so important? He had never seen the demons of other races have a situation like what Cerberus was brooding over…
If he could not understand, then there was no need to understand. How could Sareth reject such a good thing that came knocking on his door? He immediately said, “Okay, deal!”
In any case, he was already prepared to summon his foster father, Roy. If his foster father descended into this world, Fat Tiger would definitely come. This meant that he did not need any additional actions to reach an agreement with Cerberus. He was now worried about how to find Dante and the others. Wouldn’t it be better if he could use Cerberus to help?
A dog’s nose is very sensitive… “Sign a contract with me!” Cerberus said as a demon contract appeared out of thin air in front of Sareth. This was the first time Sareth had seen a real demon contract. He remembered Cassandra’s instructions, so he carefully looked over the terms of the contract. He found that Cerberus did not play any tricks on this contract. It just stipulated that after Cerberus fulfilled its promise, Sareth had to fulfill his promise and summon the ‘Brother Fat Tiger’ he mentioned from the Abyss.
Thus, Sareth signed his name readily. Then he saw the demon contract turn into two balls of light and merge into him and Cerberus. “Let’s go. Who are you looking for in the Qliphoth? Tell me, and I’ll help you find them!” Cerberus said. “Ah, I’m looking for Dante and his two companions, Lady and Trish,” Sareth replied. “…” Cerberus stopped and turned around, all three heads staring fiercely at him. “W-what’s wrong?” Sareth was puzzled. “Did you do it on purpose?!” Cerberus roared at him with magma dripping from its three heads. “You’re looking for the damn bloodline of that Sparda?! Why didn’t you say so before signing the contract?!” “But you didn’t ask me…” Sareth shrugged.
Cerberus was trembling with anger. If it had known that Sareth and Dante were on the same side, it would not have signed the contract no matter what. Now, it was actually helping to find the descendant of its enemy…
Moreover, Cerberus could not go against it because the power of the demon contract was restricting it. So after being angry for a long time, it could only resign to its fate, turn its head, and walk forward. “Damn little liar. I promise to help you find him, but after I find him, I’ll bite him to death immediately!”
Upon hearing this, Sareth could not help but scratch his head. There was nothing wrong with what Cerberus said. After all, the contract did not stipulate that Cerberus had to ensure Dante’s survival after finding him… But if that bastard Dante is still alive, with his strength, it shouldn’t be a problem for him to beat this big dog, right? Or would seeing this big dog bite Dante be very pleasant? While thinking about this, Sareth followed Cerberus. He actually wanted to ride on Cerberus’s back. After all, he used to ride Fat Tiger like this, but Fat Tiger was Fat Tiger, and Cerberus was Cerberus. If he really rode on it, Cerberus would probably bite him to death immediately, right? So he could only think about it… It was precisely because he was following behind Cerberus that he had the chance to look up and see Cerberus’s… abdomen!
