Chapter 469: Hunting down Dante?

"Looking for me? Sorry, I'm at work."

Although he had shown interest in Li You and Nero before, Dante looked like he didn't want to pay any attention to him at this moment.

"If you have a commission, please make an appointment next time. I don't have that much time now. I'm waiting to meet someone."

Dante said, waving his finger: "I don't want to be late, or she will scold me again...so let's talk next time!"

Then, Dante fell backwards very coolly and fell downstairs!

At this moment, Li You shouted, "This is related to Virgil!"

"call out--"

The dark red light flickered, and Dante, who had already jumped off the roof, flashed back to Li You, staring at him with a pair of light-colored pupils: "...How did you know?"

Dante's instantaneous flash clearly showed that he had used the power of the devil, and the speed was so fast that Li You could only barely react. He couldn't help but become more alert.

But compared to the dangerous look in Dante's eyes when he returned, the questions he asked surprised Li You even more.

"Wait, you already knew that?"

Although there was surprise in Dante's eyes, it was not much, and it was obviously focused on himself. Combined with his previous question, Li You immediately realized that Dante seemed to have known something.

Dante looked at him, took two steps back, distanced himself again, and said, "I don't know what you've heard, but you'd better not have any crooked ideas, otherwise..."

Dante's pupils changed instantly, and a terrifying pressure emanated from him, which made Li You feel a chill in his heart.

This momentum is almost catching up with the oppression brought by the Fire Kings, and it is obviously far from Dante's full strength.

However, to this day, such momentum is not enough to move Li You.

Seeing that his expression didn't change at all, Dante was a little surprised again: "Who are you?"

Li You smiled and said, "You can think of me as a demon hunter from a distant place. Now can you listen to me?"

After hearing this, Dante squinted his eyes and looked at him, then...suddenly drew out the sword of rebellion!
"Shhh!!"

Li You: "!!"

"clang--!"

The rebellious sword fell down in an instant, and before the blade cut his head in half, Li You pulled out the spiral stick and blocked the attack in the nick of time!
Dante's pupils dilated a little: "Oh?"

The two of them pushed each other away. Dante, holding the great sword, said with a smile, "I just wanted to test your background, I didn't intend to really fight you, but..."

"You were able to take that sword. You can hardly call yourself a human being, right?"

His eyes stared at her: "So, which side are you on?"

Li You stood with a long stick in his hand, frowning slightly, without saying a word.

"You won't answer? Then..." Dante said, and suddenly he turned into a shadow and stabbed with a sword! This thrust was much faster and more powerful than the one he had with Credo before!
Although he still couldn't figure out whether Dante was serious or just testing him, the strength was absolutely real. Li You simply threw away his luck and grasped the long stick with both hands, swinging it with all his strength!
"clang--!!"

The greatsword and the long stick intersected, the magic power intertwined and repelled each other. Li You was pushed back by the impact, but Dante did not retreat but advanced, and the rebellious greatsword was going to stab forward again!
Li You suddenly opened his eyes wide, and his energy flowed all over his body, and his speed also increased. He raised the long stick in his hand and pointed it at the tip of the rebellious sword!

At this moment, an ancient spear tip protruded from the front end of the spiral stick, flashing with crimson flames, and collided with the rebellious sword without giving in!
"Boom——"

This time, it was not the sound of metal colliding, but the roar of magic exploding. Not only Li You, but even Dante was blown back for a while.

When the impact finally dissipated, the two men stood facing each other on either side of the roof, one holding a sword and the other holding a gun, both looking unharmed.

However, judging from the changes in the strength of the aura, Li You still suffered a bit of a loss.

There is no way around it. Li You's strength is indeed much greater than before, but if he is limited to human form, the power he can exert is still too little.

Dante is different. Even if he doesn't transform into a demon, his half-demon body is much stronger than that of an ordinary person. He is proficient in using the power of the devil and can do it with ease.

In addition, the weapon Li You used was not the one he was most familiar with, so it was normal for him to suffer a loss.

In fact, objectively speaking, the combat power level of Nero and the Demon Sword Cult in the fourth generation is relatively low in the entire Devil May Cry series. Apart from anything else, Dante's visit to the fourth generation is basically as relaxing as shopping and vacation.

If Li You remembered correctly, in the official plot setting of the fourth generation, Dante seemed to have only used the demonization once in the whole process, and it was for reasons of convenience, not because he could not win without the demonization.

So Li You could easily suppress Nero, but he still suffered a little loss in front of Dante. Although Li You hid a lot of things, Dante still didn't use his full strength.

"...Do you want to continue fighting?" After the two men confronted each other for a moment, Li You asked.

Dante looked at him again and suddenly smiled: "Ha... no more fighting!"

He put away his rebellion and said, "Ah, because you give people a really strange feeling, so it seems to be true but not true. I thought I had made a mistake before and met a demon who is particularly good at disguising himself."

"But after trying it, I can confirm that you are definitely not a demon. So there is no need to fight."

Li You also breathed a sigh of relief. Unless it was necessary, he really didn't want to get serious with Dante.

"Can you listen to me now?"

Dante looked at the clock tower in the distance. The hands of the clock tower had just turned a small space. Seeing this, he sighed exaggeratedly: "Well, I'm late anyway, and she will definitely scold me. It doesn't matter if I wait a little longer."

"…Tell me, what's the matter?"

——A moment later.

“…Is there such a thing?”

After listening to Li You's words, Dante raised his eyebrows.

"You said that the boy who was with you before... had Spartan blood? How can you be sure?"

Li You was of course certain, but he didn't say so. He just replied: "The power in his body gives me a feeling that is very similar to yours. You also noticed it when you came into contact with him before, right?"

Dante frowned slightly but said nothing.

"It does feel familiar... Strange, could it be my brother's? Or is it my father's illegitimate child..."

He thought, muttering to himself.

"Forget it, we can confirm this later. You just said that the Yama Sword in the hands of the cult was broken?"

From the focus of his attention, Li You also judged that Dante really knew that the Yama Blade was in the hands of the cult. Li You thought about it for a while and guessed the general situation: "It seems that Tracy told him."

Trish, a blonde beauty demon hunter and Dante's partner, sneaked into the cult in order to gather intelligence - the time seems to be about the same as when Nero awakened the demon hand.

It would make sense if she discovered the Enma Blade and told Dante.

So Li You nodded and said, "With the technology of the cult, it should be impossible to repair the Yama Blade. So if you want to recycle it, I'm afraid you can only get a broken blade."

"It doesn't matter whether it's broken or not. The meaning of the thing itself is more important." Dante spread his hands, then looked at him again, "You know a lot, plus that strange power... Even if he's not a demon, he can't be an ordinary demon hunter, right?"

Li You just smiled and said, "Even you, the son of Sparta, are a demon hunter, so why can't I be one?"

Dante thought about it and accepted this explanation: "It makes sense!"

He then stood up from the edge of the roof and said, "Okay, I'll go first. The things you told me...well, I'll try to remember them."

Li You not only told Dante that Nero was related to him by blood and that the Yama Sword in the hands of the cult was broken, he also simply stated his purpose - he wanted to train Nero and crush the cult's conspiracy.

The reason is very simple. Dante originally came for the Demon Sword Cult, and after knowing that Nero is likely to be related to him by blood, it is even more impossible for him to be ignored. So from these two perspectives, Dante is a natural ally of Li You, so there is naturally no need to hide too much.

Of course, Dante was also curious about the reasons why Li You did these things, but Li You only said that it was a personal factor, so he was too lazy to ask further questions.

It is the same now. Although Dante said he would try his best to remember, Li You estimated that he has almost forgotten what he said.

Dante has this kind of personality. Li You could only shake his head helplessly: "Anyway, at least you know that you and I are not enemies."

Dante waved his hand: "I see, it doesn't look like that now. Then let's not bother each other, see you later."

After saying that, he flew away between the rooftops. Watching the dark red figure disappear in the distance, Li You could only say: You are worthy of it!
In fact, when he first came to see Dante, his idea was to use the two pieces of information that actually cost nothing, "the Order possesses the Yama Sword" and "Nero has Spartan blood", in exchange for a certain degree of tacit understanding with Dante, and even his support.

However, he didn't expect that Dante already knew about the Yama Sword, so Li You could only reveal more information.

Fortunately, the result was good and his basic goal was achieved. This way, when he carries out his own plan later, he should not have a direct conflict with Dante.

Then, it's time to go back to Nero.

——Don’t forget, although thwarting the conspiracy of the cult is the main mission, the key lies in the first half, cultivating Nero.

As long as Nero can be trained, and with Dante's help, the conspiracy of the cult will be difficult to succeed. So Li You will definitely choose to stay with Nero.

Besides, he didn't intend to miss the achievement rewards from the demon bosses along the way.

So Li You also stood up, turned around and rushed towards the theater.

……

Theater entrance.

Nero and V worked together to successfully clear out the demons that wanted to break into the gate. V had already turned Li You's Merrimack around and blocked the entrance to the theater. With the firepower coverage and the cooperation of the two, the scarecrow demons were unable to cross the line.

But even if they dealt with a large number of demons, there were always more pouring out from all over the streets and converging towards them.

At the same time, although the two blocked the gate, there were still demons coming out of the magic circle inside the theater square. It was the task of the knights of the order led by Credo to deal with them.

The golden Durandal chopped up the bodies of the two scarecrows, and Credo was also fighting, beheading the sporadic demons. In the short battle, he showed amazing sword skills, fully worthy of the title of Knight Commander.

It's not that Credo hadn't thought about taking the people to the cult's headquarters for refuge, just like in the game, but demons also appeared on the road there, so they had to stay here for the time being.

Despite the strong support of V driving the Merrimac, the besieged members of the cult gradually fell into trouble.

The Pope being shot in public was already enough of a blow to them, and now they have to fight and take care of civilians at the same time, which is too much pressure. If these knights were not elite and Credo had sufficient command ability, I am afraid they would have fled with the panicked people.

While beheading the demons, V couldn't help but frown. There were too many scarecrows, and even if each one was weak, the constant attack was still very troublesome.

She, Nero and Credo can hold on, but those ordinary knights of the order cannot. If they continue like this, there will definitely be omissions, and then injuries to combatants and even civilians are inevitable.

Maybe it's time to consider breaking out.

But at this moment, V's eyes suddenly flashed and she looked towards the other end of the street. Her artificial eye automatically adjusted the focus, allowing her to see a figure in a robe on the rooftop in the distance, using a grappling hook to continuously leap between the neatly arranged small buildings, and quickly rushing towards them.

"Finally back... this guy!" Even V breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously.

Soon, Nero also noticed the person coming: "Is that Li You?"

Of course. Li You used the pulling force of the grappling hook and switched back and forth to quickly cross the block and land on the roof near the gate. He looked over here and said, "V! Get ready!"

V made a gesture from afar, and Li You flipped his hand, took out several skulls wrapped in white smoke from his backpack, and threw them onto the street!
Lure the enemy's skull!
The skull, which was a little blue because of the soul, broke into pieces and scattered everywhere when it came into contact with the brick and stone ground. The surrounding demons seemed to have smelled something incomparable and delicious. They immediately surrounded it and rushed to the fragments of the skull!
"Now!" Li You shouted.

Without being reminded, V knew that this was a rare opportunity. So under her control, all the heavy firepower hidden in the Merrimack came into play, especially the micro-missile nest that came out from the rear compartment, which was activated immediately and launched micro-missiles one by one, covering the group of lower-level demons gathered together!

"Boom——!!"

After the violent explosion and the blinding flames, the scarecrow demons that had originally formed a small hill had almost completely disappeared, with only a few remnants remaining in the corners.

So many were cleared out at once that even the seemingly endless lower-level demons did not appear again.

Seeing this, Li You also jumped down from the roof, waving a long stick to sweep away the remaining demons one by one.

Now, at least for a while, there won’t be a large number of demons emerging.

Li You returned to Nero and the others with a long stick in his hand and said, "I didn't catch up with the assassin. He ran away."

Nero was still a little worried: "It's okay. It's too much for you to chase that guy alone! I'll go with you this time!"

"——No!" Before Li You could answer, a majestic voice came from the side. It was Credo.

He came up to the two men and said, "You have to go alone to hunt down the assassin, Nero."

Ji Liye grabbed his sleeve: "Credo? What are you doing..."

But Credo just shook his head slightly at her.

Nero also didn't understand: "Why? The top priority now is to catch the assassin and stop the devil. Li You's power is very useful! Why not let him go with me?"

Credo frowned: "Because... this involves the secrets of the cult! We can't let an outsider interfere!"
