Chapter 432 - Almost Filial (1/2)

After obtaining the wind magic circuit from Beelzebub’s shell, Roy had been thinking about how to use wind magic in battle.

There were only a few more destructive moves such as wind blades, vacuum fields, tornadoes, and so on, but Roy had created a new skill for himself and used wind magic in close combat.

The inspiration for the skill naturally came from the King of Fighters’ Goenitz. Whether someone was strong or not was a matter of version, but whether they were cool or not was a matter of a lifetime. Without a doubt, Roy had used the True Eighth Maiden: Cruelties of True Reality and took the cool route.

Of course, with a divine artifact like the Red Dragon Emperor’s Gauntlet, Roy’s new move was not only cool but also very powerful. Moreover, this move not only could use his wind power but also his lightning power and ice power. It was a versatile move…

Roy had actually held back on the last strike when he sent Vergil into the earth. Otherwise, if he had used sixty-four times his strength to attack with a Thirty-hit Nail Punch, Vergil would probably no longer exist in this world.

It could be said that Roy had insta-killed Vergil this time. After Vergil crashed into the ground, Dante reacted and hurriedly rushed into the pit that Vergil had smashed, going deep underground. After a while, he found the heavily injured Vergil and saved him from drowning.

Boom! Dante carried Vergil and broke through the rock and soil layer. After returning to the surface, he finally saw Vergil’s injuries.

Over half of Vergil’s chest had now become ghastly white bones, which was due to Roy’s claws and the tearing of the wind blades. At this moment, apart from the heart still beating in his chest, most of his internal organs had disappeared, probably turned into fragments and vanishing in the bloody storm earlier.

His tattered chest was open, and the surrounding muscle tissues were slowly growing again. Under the power of his demon bloodline, it was still possible to recover. As for how long it would take, it was hard to say. With such severe injuries, it was equivalent to Vergil completely withdrawing from the battle.

Although Dante and Vergil had always been injuring each other, Vergil was still Dante’s brother after all. When he saw Vergil’s miserable state, Dante was furious.

The battle between Nero and Sareth had already stopped. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Dante transformed back into his human form and walked toward Nero. He handed Vergil to Nero to get him to take care of him.

However, Nero was unhappy. Vergil was the culprit who caused his disability. He was Dante’s brother, but it had nothing to do with him. What did he mean by getting him to take care of Vergil?

Nero did not want to help. He curled his lips and said, “Dante, why don’t I do it? And you take care of this guy.”

“No, you can’t beat him!” Dante shook his head. “You’d better take care of Vergil. Don’t let the aftershocks of the battle affect him.”

“I can’t guarantee that!” Nero said unhappily.

“No! You have to ensure that he lives!” Dante grabbed Nero’s collar angrily.

“Why?!” Nero slapped Dante’s hand away and raised his mechanical right arm. He shouted at Dante, “Even if he’s your brother, don’t forget what he did before. Osiris is right. Who caused the disaster in Red Grave City?! Your brother! Because of him, countless people died in this disaster. We were still discussing how to kill him earlier, but now you want me to ensure that he doesn’t die?! Is your brain muddled?!”

“But he’s your father!” Dante suddenly said. “Do you want to see your father die here?!”

“Wh-what?!” Nero was dumbfounded.

“I’ve had my suspicions since the first time I met you!” Dante sighed. “Don’t tell me that you think just anyone can use Yamato and resonate with its power?”

“H-how is this possible?!” Nero looked at Vergil, who was lying on the ground, at a loss, and his face contorted uncontrollably.

Dante stretched out his hand and summoned Demon Sword Dante again. Then he transformed into his Sin Devil form and turned around. Without looking back, he said to Nero, “I will make him redeem his mistakes, but Nero… He can’t die in your hands…”

With that, Dante stomped on the ground and rushed toward Roy in the distance, leaving Nero facing Vergil and at a loss for what to do.

Clang! Demon Sword Dante slashed at Frostmourne, which instantly appeared in Roy’s hand. The enormous shock wave produced by the collision of the two swords swept all around. Seeing the shock wave coming, Nero could no longer worry about his confusion. He quickly blocked in front of Vergil and helped him withstand the shock wave.

Dante was crazy at this moment. He did not defend at all and used storm-like attacks to fight Roy. Roy used Frostmourne to block left and right, seemingly struggling to deal with the attacks.

Roy’s swordsmanship was indeed not as good as Dante’s. In fact, Roy had not studied any swordsmanship. When he fought with Frostmourne, he relied on his strength and speed to swing his sword. Dante seemed to have noticed this, and his attacks became more and more fierce.

After hundreds of rounds, Dante finally caught Roy’s flaw. He swung the demon sword in his hand horizontally and suddenly slashed at Roy’s wrist.

With a swish, Dante severed Roy’s right hand, which was holding the sword. Frostmourne flew away along with his hand, and then…

Then it landed not far from Nero!
