Chapter 443 - Twin Worlds (1/2)

The so-called true names were not only possessed by demons. In fact, angels also had them, and dragons as well. All races that relied on soul memories to pass down their legacies had true names.

And the reason why these races with true names would think of ways to hide them was naturally because of the existence of the ‘spirit of language’ power in mysticism.

One had to know that true names were inherited in soul memories, so it was naturally linked to the souls of living creatures. When an enemy knew your true name, theoretically speaking, the power of the spirit of language could directly touch your soul and cause immense damage to it. Moreover, this damage was impossible to defend against…

Of course, Sparda did not know all of Mundus’s true name. It was only a part of it. How should it be put? This portion of Mundus’s true name was not deliberately discovered by Sparda but accidentally exposed by Mundus himself.

After unifying the Demon World, Mundus became increasingly arrogant. He began to regard himself as a god and tried to make all creatures worship and believe in him.

Look at the titles he gave himself: the Monarch of the Demon World, the Eternal Sovereign, the Creator of the Demon World, the Sacred Father of Demons, the Great Creator, Great Emperor Mundus. When he made statues of himself, he even portrayed himself as a god… During this process, a portion of his true name was inevitably revealed.

Although it was only a portion, it was enough to give Sparda an enormous advantage in the battle against Mundus.

In game terms, if an enemy knew all of the true name of a demon, then the enemy could deal 100% true damage to them that ignored their defense. Although Sparda only knew part of Mundus’s true name and could not reach 100%, at least 30% or 40% was always there.

Sparda was also one of the Chosen Ones of the Abyss. Although no one really knew what the so-called ‘Chosen Ones of the Abyss’ were, there was no doubt that they were all demons with astonishing talent and could grow rapidly. It was not a coincidence that Sparda was chosen. Not only was he proficient in sword techniques, but he was also extremely skilled at dark sealing magic. Although Sparda was still a little inferior to Mundus, the gap was not that big.

So during the battle with Mundus, Sparda found the opportunity to seal him!

With the strength of a demon lord, he defeated a demon who was about to become a demon king. This result was truly unfathomable, but Sparda did it.

Of course, he could only seal Mundus and not really kill him. After plundering and absorbing all the Ouroboros Marks of countless demons of the Demon World, Mundus was already a being with an immortal soul. At this level, let alone Sparda, even Archangels such as Gabriel or Michael would find it difficult to purify Mundus’s soul completely.

Demon kings could only be sealed, but they would not perish. This had always been a saying in the Abyss.

Although Sparda had successfully sealed Mundus, the name of the traitor Sparda could not be washed away. In addition, he had indeed violated his superiors, so all the demons of the Demon World regarded him as an enemy, and there was no place for Sparda in the Demon World.

With no other choice, Sparda could only go to the human world.

Interestingly, no one knew where the news came from, but when the humans of the human world heard about the upheaval in the Demon World, they really thought that Sparda had betrayed his compatriots to protect them. Therefore, they regarded Sparda as their savior, praised him for his noble soul, and worshipped him endlessly.

Without Mundus’s rule, the demons of the Demon World no longer had any constraints, and they once again became scattered and fought separately. So naturally, they would not be able to invade the human world on a large scale. From this point of view, Sparda had indeed saved the human world once, giving the humans of this world a chance to recuperate and develop civilization.

The power of Sparda’s seal on Mundus weakened over time, but this seal lasted for two thousand years. During these two thousand years, Sparda spent most of his time in the human world, allowing him to observe the human race better and closer.

Perhaps because he had observed for too long, he was gradually affected by humans. Not only did he create a human incarnation for himself, but he also had feelings like humans. One day two thousand years later, he fell in love with a human woman named Eva, and thus Dante and Vergil were born.

However, the flag of returning home to get married was like a curse. Not only was it effective for humans, but also for demons. Not long after Sparda got married and had children, Mundus broke through the seal and caused Sparda’s family to fall apart…

His wife died tragically, and his pair of children were separated. Sparda was in tremendous pain at that time. He also realized that as long as Mundus was alive, he and his family could not have a peaceful life at all. So not long after the tragedy happened, he quietly sneaked back to the Demon World and wanted to find a way to seal Mundus again.

However, when he returned to the Demon World, he discovered that Mundus had done many things during the two thousand years he was sealed. Even though he slept most of the time in the seal, he would occasionally wake up for a while. During this period of time, Mundus would contact his demon subordinates and order them to do things.

Through investigation, Sparda found that Mundus had been plotting a huge scheme and seemed about to succeed.

Therefore, under the urgency of this emergency, Sparda could not worry about too much. He gave up the opportunity to challenge Mundus for revenge and chose to use himself as the sealing medium to stop Mundus’s scheme…

Sparda’s narration of the events was not that detailed. Roy deduced all of this from Sparda’s description and some of the situations he knew.
