Chapter 425 - Backdooring (1/2)

In the Qliphoth, Dante was still running forward.

He could vaguely feel Nero’s aura and knew that Nero was heading toward where Urizen was. He seemed to have placed all his hopes of finding Dante and Demon Sword Sparda on V, while he desperately wanted to challenge Urizen.

You’re too impulsive, Nero… Dante thought as his feet kept moving. That’s your father. You can’t kill him…

Dante urgently wanted to rush over, but a powerful elite high-rank demon blocked his path.

This elite high-rank demon was Black Knight Angelo. He stood in Dante’s way and wanted to kill Dante, a descendant of Sparda. But when Dante, holding the Sword of Sparda, fought against Angelo, he found that this guy was actually using lightning power, so he secretly paid attention.

Sure enough, after defeating Angelo, Dante found Trish naked in his stomach.

“Are you okay?” Dante smiled while holding Trish. “This guy used the same lightning power as you, so I guessed that he might be using you…”

“Dante…” Trish had just been released and was extremely weak. She forced her eyes open and smiled at Dante. “It’s so good to see you again…”

“Relax and rest up! I still have to rush to save that idiot Nero!” Dante put Trish down. V happened to follow staggeringly from behind, so Dante entrusted Trish to him.

V hurriedly accepted this task, but he ordered the demon crow Griffon to follow Dante, hoping to be of help to him.

Dante embarked on the journey again. Along the way, he encountered some demons and killed them mercilessly.

But not long after, Dante encountered something unexpected.

He saw his home, his former home!

Red Grave City was where Dante and Vergil had lived when they were young, and the ruins of their former home had always been preserved here. But Dante never expected that the Qliphoth would include their home as it grew.

In the ruins, Dante found an old photo. In the photo, the faces of his father and mother had been burned away, leaving only the two little white-haired boys intact.

Dante stroked the photo nostalgically and fell into his memories.

After a while, he suddenly took out the hilt of Rebellion from under his trench coat.

Urizen had broken Rebellion during Dante’s first battle with him. But after being sent flying, Dante still held the remaining hilt tightly. He was unwilling to give up this sword that had accompanied him for decades.

“When my dear brother Vergil pierced my body with Rebellion, the demon power in my body activated once…” Dante sized up Rebellion while muttering to himself. “I’ve been wondering why Father gave me Rebellion…”

Griffon, who had been flying near Dante, asked in confusion, “What are you mumbling about?”

Dante looked at him and laughed self-deprecatingly. “Over the years, I’ve been poked by many things, but who would have expected…”

With that, Dante suddenly turned the sword hilt and stabbed the remaining blade end into his abdomen!

This action shocked Griffon. He screamed, “Are you crazy?! What are you doing?! There are demons waiting for us to defeat in front. If you’re so anxious to commit suicide, I can help you!”

However, Dante ignored him and stabbed the blade of Rebellion deeper into his stomach while gasping heavily. “Since Yamato can separate humans and demons, what use does Rebellion have…”

Before he finished speaking, the hilt of Rebellion in his abdomen turned into a red light and merged into his body!

Moreover, the Sword of Sparda on Dante’s back gradually turned into a red light at this moment and then drilled into Dante’s body. Griffon was so shocked that he could not help but shout, “Wow—! You… you’re absorbing Sparda’s power?!”

Red light lingered around Dante’s body and turned into red lightning. Dante let out a painful and satisfied roar before his body started shaking violently!

A magic formation light formed by red lightning flashed in Dante’s body. With the disappearance of the magic formation light, an incomparably powerful magic power erupted from Dante! A red shock wave instantly spread out and swept everything around it, blowing countless rocks away.

The red light gradually disappeared, but Dante’s appearance had changed drastically. His original human form completely disappeared, replaced by a tall red demon with a sinister face!

This red demon exuded an intense high temperature all over his body, and fiery flames even seeped out from under his skin from various parts of his body. He had sharp claws that were as sharp as blades, and there were protruding bone spikes all over his body. He floated in the air, and the four enormous demon wings on his back flapped slowly. The two pairs of demon horns on his head were long and thick. One pair pierced straight into the sky while the other curved to cover his cheeks.

The original human pupils had long disappeared, leaving only a pair of red eyes emitting dazzling light.

“Strength… Such powerful strength…” Dante lowered his head and looked at his curved demon claws and then suddenly squatted.
