Survival in the game world begins with Biochemical 2

Chapter 464 Devil May Cry , City of Destiny!

When the echo of the world crossing faded in his ears, Li You knew that he had arrived at his destination.

He opened his eyes and what appeared before him was a town with a strong classical style.

Small buildings made of plain marble were neatly arranged, reflecting golden light under the setting sun. The brick-paved streets were spacious, clean, and straight, which was pleasing to the eye.

Among the houses of uniform style in the town, there are a few conspicuous landmark buildings, such as the retro clock tower and the dome-shaped theater vaguely visible in the distance.

However, the most eye-catching thing is the huge black stone tablet standing near the center of the town.

The stone tablet was square and integrated, of astonishing size, with its top pointing directly to the sky, and there were strange dark golden patterns on the surface of the tablet.

This city and this stone tablet let Li You know that he must have arrived.

【Ding! 】

【congratulations! 】

[You have successfully entered the game world, and your current location is: City of Destiny. ]

[After contacting the residents of this world, rewards will be drawn. 】

The City of Destiny is the name of this town. It can also be called Fortuna or Fortuna, with little difference.

This small town is the main stage for the four Devil May Cry stories.

However, looking at the towering black stone tablet in the town, Li You was a little surprised: "Is this thing already in the city?"

He played Devil May Cry IV too early and did not carefully understand the settings behind it, so even though his thinking ability is no longer that of a human, he still can't remember many details.

"…Forget it, let's get down to business first and find a way to confirm the time."

Anyway, the place is correct, but the question is how far away is it from the main storyline of Devil May Cry 4?
With such doubts, Li You looked around and found that he seemed to have landed on the edge of the town this time.

He was standing on the top of a small building, looking down, and he could see the whole street. The classical town buildings started from where he was, extending forward; and behind him, outside the town, the ancient city walls separated him from the outside world.

But what was a little strange was that within Li You's field of vision, there was no one on the streets of the town. From time to time, suppressed voices and sounds of activities could be heard in the residential buildings, but every household had drawn the curtains tightly, and no one had any intention of showing up.

“Although it is a very confusing question where all the residents went in the game, there are definitely quite a few people in the city.”

Li You seemed to be thinking about something. "So there is no one here now. Is the cult organizing some activities? Or is it..."

He thought about it and immediately decided to walk into the City of Destiny and go to the theater over there to see if there were any performances.

If so, then my problem would be solved.

Li You immediately moved his feet and was about to rush over there. However, just as he started, his sensitive perception caught a cry from afar.

"what--!!"

The momentum under his feet suddenly stopped, and Li You looked back.

Outside the city, three men wearing white robes, hoods and holding uniquely shaped swords were protecting a group of children and running towards the city.

Chasing behind this group of people were monsters that looked like they were made of sacks. Their bodies were tattered and patched, with patches of various colors all over their bodies. Their heads were funny, and one of their arms or legs was replaced with a curved metal sickle.

This group of strange creatures that look like rag dolls dug out of a trash can are the most common enemies in the Devil May Cry world, the demons.

Of course, this scarecrow is just a low-level demon, so it looks all over the place, and those powerful demons are still very handsome.

Although they were only lower-level demons, there were quite a lot of them. Li You could tell with a simple glance that there were about forty scarecrows here.

"Can those few people handle so many demons?"

Li You also recognized the three sword-wielding men in white robes. They were the knights of the Demon Sword Cult.

Speaking of this, we have to mention the world view of Devil May Cry.

In the Devil May Cry world, there is a human world and a demon world. The human world is not much different from the Earth, but the demon world is full of powerful and brutal creatures - demons.

Two thousand years ago, Mondes, the king of the demon world, was preparing to invade and conquer the human world and bring humans under his rule.

However, for the devil, weak humans are of little use except for providing flesh, blood and soul as bait. Once he really invades the human world, it is easy to imagine what will happen to the defenseless humans.

The one who stepped forward at this time was the Demon Emperor's right-hand man, the magic swordsman Sparta.

Sparta sympathizes with humans, so even though he is a general of the Demon Emperor and has made great contributions in the battle of Mondes to unify the Demon World, he still chooses to betray the Demon Emperor and resist the Demon Army alone. In the end, he even defeats and seals the Demon Emperor.

Since then, Sparda has settled in the human world and used his power to cut off the entrance between the demon world and the human world.

He also dispersed his power into three magic swords, namely the legendary magic sword Sparta, the greatsword Rebellion, and the Japanese sword Yan Mo Dao.

More than 30 years ago, Sparda fell in love with a human woman named EVA and married them, and gave birth to twins. The elder brother is Vergil, and the younger brother is Dante, who inherited the Yama Blade and the rebellion respectively.

Later, Sparta disappeared inexplicably and his family suffered a dramatic change... This is also the beginning of the Devil May Cry series of stories.

As for the city in front of us, the city of destiny, Fortuna, it is said that it was once the territory of Sparta in the Middle Ages. The local residents worshipped Sparta as a god, and from this, the "Magic Sword Cult" was derived, which managed everything in the city.

The three men in white robes and holding swords are the knights of the Demon Sword Order, warriors who exist to fight against demons.

But then again, even if the scarecrow is a low-level demon, it would be difficult for three knights of the Order to fight against such a large number, unless they are the protagonists of the game...

Sure enough, just as Li You thought of this, he heard a scream. The knight of the cult standing on the side was severely cut on the right shoulder by the scimitar of a scarecrow demon. Blood spurted out instantly, and he staggered and almost fell.

Fortunately, the knight in the middle seemed to be stronger. He immediately raised his sword to support and forced back the charging demon, while shouting, "Josh! Go to the side to provide cover!"

The injured Josh did not try to show off his strength. He gritted his teeth and changed his position, while the man took over.

It was obviously difficult for him to deal with the enemies that were originally the responsibility of two people alone, but he just grabbed the blade of the long sword in his left hand and gathered strength, and his right hand twisted the handle hard as if turning the throttle of a motorcycle, and the "sword" that was more like a straight knife began to emit wisps of flames from the jet nozzle on the guard!
As the fire lit up, the speed at which the Knight of the Order swung his sword suddenly increased, and he swung away four scarecrow demons in one blow!

The demon in front was bounced away at once, but the knight seemed to be overwhelmed after the previous attack, and his arm dropped down.

And behind, more scarecrows are coming!

"——It's time to get the mission."

After watching the fight on the roof for a while, Li You decided to take action.

He observed the situation mainly to determine the combat effectiveness of the scarecrow demon and the Knights of the Order. After all, the combat effectiveness level of the Devil May Cry world is difficult to tell due to the confusion in the early settings. If you force the box stacking, the protagonist Dante even has the possibility of breaking into the universe in the flesh, and even reaching the upper limit of the multiverse level.

So Li You certainly couldn't be very high-profile when he first arrived. Otherwise, if this world was full of monsters, he was afraid that he would be beaten up into the sky and wouldn't be able to come down.

Fortunately, at present, at least the combat effectiveness of the lower-level demons and the Knights of the Order is not much higher than that of humans. Even if the combat effectiveness gap in the Devil May Cry world is as serious as that in Dark Souls, he can still cope with the current situation.

Since they could handle it, Li You would not watch the tragedy happen. It was obvious that the three knights of the Order could not handle a large number of demons and were in urgent need of assistance.

What's more, Li You saw a familiar figure among the group of children.

Why didn't she ask here first? At least nothing would happen to anyone.

So Li You raised his hand and reached for the Thunder Moon Shadow in the system backpack.

at this time.

A loud shout came from behind: "Ordinary citizens, please take shelter quickly and don't block the road!"

The sound of footsteps running on bricks and tiles came closer and closer. Li You looked back and saw a young man with silver hair, wearing a black windbreaker with a red lining, and an anxious face, running towards him... no, towards the crowd over there. He shouted and ignored Li You, rushing past him quickly.

When they passed each other, Li You saw clearly that he was carrying a greatsword of the same model as the Knight Sword of the Order, but it was obviously more than one size larger and painted with dark red dye. He also had a uniquely shaped silver pistol in his arms.

Naturally, the moment he appeared, or the moment his voice reached his ears, Li You already knew his identity.

It is the new generation protagonist of Devil May Cry, the mysterious boy with a kirin arm, Nero.

Nero passed Li You and leaped towards the crowd!

While still in mid-air, he pulled out a huge silver revolver from his arms. The gun body turned out to be a double-barreled structure. Nero shouted, "Josh, get down!"

The injured Knight of the Order subconsciously looked back, then immediately lowered his head. At the same time, Nero had already pulled the trigger in mid-air!
"boom--!!"

Two gunshots were heard almost simultaneously, and two bullets were fired from two gun muzzles in close succession. The huge recoil caused Nero's hand to suddenly rise upwards!
However, Nero's shooting skills were obviously much better than Edge's. Even though the gun had amazing recoil, the two bullets still flew accurately towards the target and hit hard a scarecrow demon that had just jumped up and was pouncing on Josh and the children behind him.

Li You saw clearly that the two bullets seemed to be fired in parallel, but in fact they were fired one after the other. The first one shattered at the moment of hitting, tearing the scarecrow's skin and leaving its defense in tatters, and the second one that followed went straight through!
At the same time, Li You also noticed that Nero's bullets were not infused with magic power, but an effect achieved through pure technology.

The scarecrow that was shot was already in tatters, and after being hit by the two shots, its entire body flew out and fell powerlessly, and a large amount of black mist spurted out of the wound, which was the devil's blood.

Nero then landed nimbly, his left hand still holding the huge revolver, and his right hand pulled out the dark red sword on his back.

Yes, right hand.

Although Nero's hands were covered by long sleeves, it was still obvious when he drew his sword that his right hand still looked like a human, not the devil's hand in the game.

This made Li You realize something: "Nero's right hand hasn't been demonized yet... Now is before the main storyline begins? It seems to be about a month?"

Li You did not do in-depth research on Devil May Cry 4, nor did he read the background settings and official novels, so he did not know many details.

For example, he didn't know that the "Holy Monument" in the center of the City of Destiny had existed for many years, nor did he know that Nero's greatsword was modified by himself, nor did he know when Nero's hands became demonic.

If he only watched the game, he would have thought that the black stone tablet in the city was also built by the cult, and Nero's weapons were the cult's collection.

That is to say, when he was playing Devil May Cry 5, he saw someone mention that Nero's demon hand became like that about a month before the start of the game because he was injured in a battle with a demon. This is how he could estimate the approximate time.

"Is it this time?"

Although it is not impossible, the problem is that they are just a group of straw men. If they can hurt Nero, then isn’t this kid’s initial combat power a bit low?
Not to mention Li You's confusion, with Nero joining the battle group below, the battle process became a lot simpler.

Nero's dark red sword is also equipped with a device similar to the Sword of the Knights of the Order, but it is much more powerful in operation. Every time he turns the "accelerator", a blazing flame will spurt out from the back of the sword!
Naturally, the propulsion force of this greatsword is incomparable to any other. With one strike of the sword, it covered nearly ten scarecrows and blew them all away!
The first few who were hit fell on the spot, and the ones behind were pushed far away and couldn't get up for a while. Nero raised his gun again and pulled the trigger!

"Bang bang bang!!"

Perhaps to prevent the flames of the greatsword from hurting the crowd, Nero deliberately kept a distance to challenge the devil, while the remaining three knights of the order protected the children, fighting and retreating, moving towards the city.

Judging from Nero's fighting ability, it is obvious that this group of scarecrows cannot hurt him.

But then...as expected, an accident happened on the battlefield.

Just when Nero and the two knights were about to kill all the scarecrows, suddenly, a dark and complicated magic circle appeared out of thin air on the ground behind the crowd protected by the injured Josh.

Then, as a dim light flashed, a new type of demon emerged. It looked like a lizard, but could walk upright, and was equipped with a metal helmet and a small round shield!

The demon let out a short roar and immediately pounced on the children!

Josh discovered it and raised his sword to meet it in shock, but this lizard-like demon was not as weak as the scarecrow. Josh, who was already injured, could not resist it at all and was blown away by its sharp claws in just one move!
Blood was splattered and the children were trembling. The only adult in the crowd, a light brown-haired girl in a white dress, protected the children under her body and closed her eyes tightly.

“Jirri——!!”

Nero on the side shouted suddenly, no longer caring about the scarecrow. The dark red sword in his hand spewed out flames, pushing him to rush quickly towards the crowd and the girl!

Li You upstairs had been planning to take action, but stopped when he saw this scene.

Could this be...

With the propulsion of the dark red sword, Nero rushed into the crowd and stood in front of the brown-haired girl.

Faced with the sharp claws of the demon lizard, Nero had no time to raise his sword to deflect it and could only use his right arm to block it!

"Pfft-"

A faint tearing sound was heard, and the sharp claws of the demon lizard scratched a long scar on Nero's right forearm!

Nero also groaned.

"Nero!" The brown-haired girl who was protected behind him screamed, but Nero didn't care. He kicked the demon in front of him away and shouted:
"Jilie, go! Take the children with you!"

A knight of the Order came over, and Josh beside him had barely stood up, looking like he had not been hurt. He exchanged a glance with his companions and Nero, and then evacuated with the girl and the children.

However, even when he fought the demon lizard together with another knight of the Order, Nero's right hand was injured, and the device of the dark red greatsword was damaged by the previous explosion, so its power was greatly reduced. Even when the two of them attacked together, they were still suppressed by their opponent.

Nero resisted while pulling the trigger, but the bullet was still blocked by the opponent's iron shield. Instead, he suddenly jumped up, waved his hand, and fired the sharp claws of his right arm like a bullet!
Nero was also shocked and swung his sword to block, but he only blocked one claw, while the other broke through the defense and pierced the shoulder of the knight next to him.

That’s not all, the third and fourth sharp claws were heading straight towards the girl and the children!

The injured Josh still wanted to resist, but it was obvious that the attack would only pierce his chest!

"Jilie!!" Nero shouted again.

It’s not that he only has eyes for Jillie, but he is mainly afraid that his claws will pierce Josh and hurt her and the children... Well, he only has eyes for Jillie.

But at this moment, a figure suddenly fell from the sky and blocked everyone!
The man landed in a handsome posture, and with a wave of the object in his hand, he deflected the flying claws far away. Josh and the girls and children behind him were naturally safe and sound.

Not to mention Nero and others, even the demon lizard was stunned when it saw the intruder.

The man looked young, wearing a dark grey robe and holding an iron rod as long as his eyebrows. The rod was covered with spiral patterns and had faint flashes of fire at both ends.

He stood up gracefully, put the iron rod on his shoulder, and looked at everyone.

"Well, I'm new here, so I'm not too high-profile." Li You was quite satisfied with his appearance.

The knight of the Order who fought alongside Nero was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked: "Who are you?"

Nero looked at him, and seemed to remember something: "...Ordinary citizen?"

Li You smiled and said, "Isn't this the time to chat?"

Only then did everyone realize that there was a demon!

Fortunately, the demons seemed to have attracted their attention after the man appeared. They all looked at him without attacking. Under everyone's attention, the man spun the long stick in his hand twice, jumped up, and pounced on the demon lizard that was causing Nero and his teammates a hard fight!

"drink--!!"

Then, they saw that the originally very difficult demon raised his shield to resist, but the man smashed the shield with a stick and pressed it to the ground. Li You raised his foot and stomped hard, crushing the demon's head!
Then he picked up his stick and rushed towards the remaining scarecrows.

Seeing him shouting and clearing out these lower-level demons, the three knights of the cult were dumbfounded and didn't even care about their own bleeding injuries.

Is this still a human being?
It was the girl Nero called Gillie who stepped forward and bandaged their wounds urgently.

Nero was the same. He kept his eyes on Li You and almost didn't even notice that Ji Liye was treating his wounds.

However, his thoughts were different from those of the three Knights of the Order. Watching Li You's performance, he thought, "It turns out that besides Credo, there are others who can kill demons as efficiently as I do!"
