Sareth had doubts in his heart, but he did not forget his purpose for coming here.

When he heard a faint sound not far away, he leaned forward carefully. In a wide corridor, he finally saw the mysterious cloaked man.

This mysterious cloaked man was currently staggering forward, and he did not seem to be in a good state, so he did not notice that a small tail was following behind him. Sareth tried his best to hide his figure as he approached the mysterious man bit by bit.

Sareth’s heart was beating like a drum. He chased after the mysterious man because he wanted to take back Nero’s arm, but he also realized that the mysterious man had used some unknown method to turn Nero’s right arm into a blade. At this moment, the blade was in the man’s hand. If he wanted to snatch it, he had to seize the opportune moment to succeed in one blow. Sneak attacking was a test of people’s mental strength.

Unknowingly, Sareth followed the mysterious man through the long corridor and arrived in a room. After arriving, the mysterious man suddenly stopped.

Sareth was shocked and quickly stopped and found a place to hide.

Then he heard the mysterious person say, “Dante…”

Before Sareth could figure out why the mysterious man would say Dante’s name, he saw the mysterious man raise the sharp, long blade, hold it with both hands, and stab it into his abdomen!

Sareth was dumbfounded. He really did not expect the mysterious person to do something so shocking. He was still thinking about how to sneak attack, but he did not expect the other party to kill himself first!

Under the dim light, Sareth saw the tip of the blade sticking out from the mysterious man’s pierced back. Blood kept flowing out from the tip, and a bloody smell immediately permeated the air. The mysterious man did not care as he said in a rhythmic tone, “… Entwined all around this body is… bone-chilling, icy chains… In the name of Sparda, come out!”

With his voice, Sareth saw a flash of light on the mysterious man’s back, and then a naked person was suddenly squeezed out from his back!

Sareth thought that his eyes were playing tricks on him and could not help but rub them. But then he found that he was not mistaken. The figure was really squeezed out!

After being squeezed out, this naked man was lying on the ground, looking weak. The mysterious man with a blade in his chest was currently kneeling on the ground. He raised his head and let out a heart-piercing scream at the sky, as though he had broken free of some restraint at this moment. An evil, immense magic power began to emerge from his body.

Sareth witnessed this process with his own eyes. Under the dim light, he saw half of the mysterious man’s face under his cloak. The skin on the side of his face was terrifyingly pale, and there were purplish-red blood vessels under his skin. But when this magic power began to emerge, the color of his skin started to change rapidly, and a black horny layer climbed onto his face.

This magic power, this transformation, and this aura were not unfamiliar to Sareth at all. It was the aura of a demon! Not only did this mysterious man separate a man from himself after stabbing himself, but he also turned himself into a complete demon!

Sareth was drenched in cold sweat. The demon in front of him was changing. His body was gradually becoming bigger, and the magic power pressure emanating from him was astonishing. He quickly surpassed the high-rank demon who had abducted Sareth and continued to grow.

Demon lord?! Sareth was terrified. He felt that this demon’s aura was infinitely close to his foster father’s.

The thought of sneak attacking and taking back Nero’s arm had already disappeared. Sareth only hoped that the demon could not see him, so he restrained his magic power with all his might to reduce his presence.

The cloak on the mysterious man could no longer cover his body as the ever-increasing height of his body directly burst the cloak. A large number of black tissue that resembled whip-like appendages grew out of the mysterious man’s body, and a thick layer of bone armor began to cover his body.

Finally, the mysterious man turned into a three-meter-tall giant with waving tentacles all over his body. There was even some liquid dripping from his body. Sareth did not know if it was blood or body fluids, but it emitted a putrid smell that made him want to vomit.

The long blade in the mysterious demon’s hand now had a layer of crystals wrapping around it and had turned into a pillar-shaped object full of spikes. This object floated beside the mysterious demon and slowly rotated.

After completing the drastic changes from human to demon, this tall demon panted heavily and slammed through the wall without looking back.

Sareth merely watched quietly and did not dare to chase after him at all. Fortunately, this demon did not seem to have any thoughts about the two people in the house and did not attack them. But after leaving the manor, he held the spike-shaped pillar and swung down to open a spatial channel. But what was different was that the aura of the Demon World came from the opposite side of the spatial rift, and there were the faint roars of demons.

This demon stretched out his hands to pull open the edge of the spatial rift and entered.

Only after the demon had left for a while did Sareth heave a sigh of relief and carefully emerge from his hiding place. He first looked at the tunnel that the demon had crashed through with lingering fear before looking at the naked man lying on the ground. This naked man was conscious, but he seemed to be unable to move, and only the parts above his neck could move. At this moment, he was trying his best to raise his head, and when he saw Sareth, he made unintelligible sounds as though he was calling out to him.

Sareth held Calamity as he carefully leaned over and asked in a low voice, “Who… who are you? Or should I say… what are you? Why did you… come out from that guy?”

The naked man did not answer him and only said with difficulty, “Water… water…”

Sareth hesitated for a bit before running out to find water for him. He had too many questions that needed answers. From the looks of it, only this naked man could answer them, so he had to save his life first.

There was no water and electricity in this ancient house. Sareth finally found some water in a water pit outside. Regardless of whether it was dirty or clean, he brought it back for the naked man to drink.

As a result, the smelly water choked the man into coughing…

But in any case, after the moistening of the liquid, the man’s condition improved. He sat up with Sareth’s help. It was not until this moment that Sareth saw that the man had a tattoo over his entire upper body. This tattoo seemed to have magic power, and it was magic power originating from demons… His hair, which was originally white, was turning black bit by bit.

But what surprised Sareth the most was that this man’s body seemed to be collapsing!

After Sareth helped him up, the man did not say anything. Instead, he tried his best to control the weak magic power in his body to stop this collapse. Sareth could tell what he was doing and did not dare to disturb him. He just stood by the side and watched. At the same time, he kept looking at the big hole that had been pierced through, wary that the mysterious demon might appear again.

Time passed bit by bit. Sareth did not know how much time had passed, but this man actually succeeded. With his weak magic power, he really stopped his body from collapsing. Only when he completely stabilized did he slowly open his eyes.

Sareth looked at him and had to admit that despite looking thin and weak, he had a different kind of handsomeness.

“Thank you…” the black-haired man said in a hoarse voice.

“Who are you?” Sareth asked again. “You can call me… V…” “Okay, V…” Sareth sighed. “What’s going on? I saw you separate from that guy, and then that guy became… a demon!”

V glanced at Sareth. “You shouldn’t have followed…”

“But I’m already here!” Sareth inserted his gun back into his waist, walked over, and squatted in front of the V. “I’m a child, but I’m not stupid! You and that demon were originally the same person, right?”

“… That’s right! “V lowered his head. “We are indeed the same person…”

“Then you should know who that cloaked bastard is, right? Why did he snatch Nero’s arm?” Sareth continued asking. “Also, when he stabbed himself earlier, I heard him say Dante’s name. He or you… know Dante?!”

Upon hearing Dante’s name, V immediately looked up at Sareth and said anxiously, “You… you know Dante?!”

“Yes! That white-haired guy… He’s very cocky…” Sareth used the adjectives he had recently learned to describe Dante. “That’s good. Help me find some clothes and bring me to see Dante!” V struggled to stand

up.

“Sorry, I refuse!” Sareth crossed his arms, sat on the ground, and turned his head to the side. “If I don’t figure out what’s going on, I won’t help!”

“This isn’t something a child like you should know…” V sighed.

However, the next second, the indignant Sareth drew out Executioner and injected magic power into the scythe, turning it into blazing flames. “I’ll say it once more. I’m also a half-demon! If I’m not wrong, your original body is as well. But under the power of the blade, your human bloodline and demon bloodline separated, right?!” V looked at Sareth’s scythe in surprise before looking at him. “You’re a half-demon?! How is this possible?” “Nothing is impossible!” Sareth withdrew his magic power. After the flames on the scythe extinguished, he put it back into his back. “There must be a relationship between you, Dante, and even Nero. Although my bloodlines might be different from yours, I really want to know what’s going on between you!” “Troublesome brat…” V smiled bitterly. “Okay, if you want to know, I can tell you… After all, your power may be needed next…”

Therefore, in this dark ancient house, V told Sareth a legend that had been passed down from two thousand years ago to now…
