Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 855: Son of Sparta Kills the Pope
Finally, after a fierce collision, the two stopped attacking at the same time. They looked at each other, with respect for the opponent and desire for victory in their eyes.

Dante was the first to break the silence: "Not bad, kid. You're much stronger than I thought."

Nero replied: "I haven't lost yet! Come again!"

"Sorry, that's all for today."

Dante sensed someone else approaching, so he leaped and smashed the ceiling.

"and many more!"

Nero fired at his figure, but missed Dante.

Then Dante turned back to the pit.

"See you next time."

Nero didn't shoot because he had no bullets.

Without the ability to use magic to generate bullets, his Azure Rose quickly consumed all of his ammunition.

"how do you feel?"

A voice suddenly startled Nero.

Nero breathed a sigh of relief when he turned around and saw that it was Luther.

"How about what?"

He heard what Luther said.

"We encountered a strong opponent."

Luther said with a smile.

"...very strong."

Nero thought for a moment and said that Dante was so powerful that he felt that even if he tried again, even if he fought for a whole day, he would not be able to defeat Dante.

The gap is so obvious that it can be seen.

"His name is Dante Sparta, the son of Sparta that this island worships."

Luther said to Nero.

"Him? Why?"

Nero was shocked. This news was really shocking to him. If he was the son of Sparta, why kill him?
"Look at the body on the ground."

Luther signaled to Nero, and Nero looked at the corpses of the Knights of the Demon Sword Order on the ground and found that they had turned into demons without knowing when.

"how come?"

Nero's pupils shrank as he realized something.

"Something is wrong with the Demon Sword Cult."

Luther said.

"They might be doing something shady in secret, and then they were discovered by Dante. Dante is a demon hunter, and he only takes action on matters related to demons."

Luther continued.

"impossible……"

Nero thought of Credo. Credo was such an upright man, it was impossible for him to do such a thing.

"No matter what, I don't plan to leave so soon. I will investigate what the Demon Sword Cult did behind the scenes."

Luther said with his hands crossed.

"...That's it."

Nero was about to say something when Jillie appeared holding a long box.

"Nero!"

Jillie was relieved to see that Nero was safe.

"Jilie."

Nero hurried to meet him.

"This is your weapon. The Order has repaired it."

Jillie handed the long box to Nero.

"Scarlet Queen?"

Nero was pleasantly surprised and quickly opened the box. It turned out to be the Scarlet Queen, his favorite weapon.

He then wanted to return the magic sword Apophis to Luther. He was going to investigate the problems of the Magic Sword Cult next, and he could not be without weapons.

When he turned around, he found that Luther was gone.

This made Nero feel anxious and uneasy, and he didn't know what to say.

But he was soon attracted by the Scarlet Queen. "Have the enemies left?"

Jillie asked, looking around carefully.

"Ah."

Nero nodded. After learning about Dante's situation from his father, Nero knew that Dante was not a bad person.

On the contrary, the problem might be with the Demon Sword Cult. He planned to tell Credo about this and see if Credo could find the problems.

After the incident, Credo was not idle. He immediately took the Pope to resurrect through the resurrection ceremony.

Agnes, the chief researcher, mocked Credo.

Credo didn't react to this, and he didn't care about what Agnas said.

When they returned to the scene, Nero told him that someone in the Demon Sword Cult might be conducting demonic experiments, which surprised Credo.

Then he noticed the magic sword Apophis behind Nero.

"What's up with this sword?"

The magic sword Apophis is not an ordinary sword, so it will naturally attract Credo's attention.

"This is the Demon Sword Apophis. It was given to me by... a friend."

Nero did not say it was his father.

Credo stared at the magic sword Apophis, wondering if he could use this magic sword to summon demons.

But in the end he gave up. After all, Nero and he had a close relationship like a brother, and his relationship with Gillie was not simple either.

They can be said to be a family, so Credo naturally would not think of targeting Nero.

In the original work, there was nothing that could be done because Agnus discovered that Nero was of Spartan descent.

Given Credo's character, if he discovered it first, he would definitely help Nero keep it secret.

"What friend?"

Credo knew that Nero was rebellious but obedient, and was worried that he would make bad friends.

"How is the Pope?"

Nero avoided the question and changed the subject.

It was so blunt that even Credo knew he didn't want to say it.

"The Pope is fine, he's just a little injured."

Credo didn't pursue the matter any further and nodded.

"You should be careful about what I say, Credo."

Nero continued.

"I see. I'll look into it."

Credo didn't know how to explain for a moment.

Before Nero joined the cult, Credo had already undergone the cult's celestial ritual and was able to transform into the angel Credo, although the so-called "angelification" was actually turning him into a demon that looked holy in appearance.

Later, when Nero joined, he personally taught Nero swordsmanship and valued Nero's fighting ability.

He had intended to promote Nero, but was troubled by Nero's frequent disobedience and arbitrary behavior.

He also thought about having Nero undergo the ritual of rebirth, but he didn't know that Nero himself had demonic powers.

Now that Nero has discovered this, Credo has no choice but to issue a mission for Nero to hunt down Dante.

Since Nero knew Dante's identity, he naturally told Credo that Dante was the son of Sparta.

"How do you know this?"

Credo realized something was wrong.

"Yes...my friend told me."

Nero said without paying attention.

"We don't know the details of this matter yet. We can't trust one side's words. Anyway, you should hunt down the man in red first."

Credo said vaguely.

He felt that he needed to find out who Nero's friend was.

"I see."

What Nero was thinking about was finding Dante and asking him to come back and explain the matter clearly. Given his identity as the son of Sparta, was he afraid that no one in the Demon Sword Order would listen to him?
By the time the matter is explained clearly, the matter can be resolved and Credo will be out of danger.

Also, my father plans to investigate the Demon Sword Cult, but I don’t know how he plans to investigate.
