Chapter 472: Magic weapon, the demon body turns into a sword?
As the giant fire demon fell heavily to the ground, a scorching wind blew, setting all the nearby wooden huts on fire.

This gust of burning wind naturally also blew towards Li You and Nero, blowing the hems of their robes and coats wildly.

However, Nero only raised his devil's hand and slightly blocked it, without any expression on the high temperature. Li You was even more relaxed. He stood still, his expression unchanged, as if what just passed was just a warm spring breeze.

Compared to the fire he currently controls, the firepower of the demon in front of him is still a little lacking.

Li You and Nero looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

The beast-shaped flame demon hadn't noticed the two of them yet, and was still looking at the City of Destiny in the distance. After a while, it moved its four legs and walked towards the mine tunnel with a tremor in every step.

"Hey! Big guy!" A voice suddenly sounded, "Sorry, the mine over there has a height limit. You may have to take another route!"

The tall demon turned around and saw a silver-haired young man sitting on the edge of the roof of a wooden house in an unruly posture with his legs dangling in the air, looking nonchalant.

"…Interesting human. Are you talking to me?"

The fire demon looked at him and asked in a muffled voice.

Nero knew that it could speak human language, after all, it had lines when it first appeared.

"Of course I'm talking to you. Do you see there's another person here who can't get through security?" Nero said loudly.

"Oh, weak human, trying to hide it? It's useless!"

The fire demon turned his head sharply and looked at another small wooden house next to it: "Come out, whoever is hiding!"

It only waited for a moment before Li You came out carrying a long threaded stick and shook his head, saying, "...I wasn't going to intervene anyway, why did you do that?"

Li You was telling the truth. He had just talked with Nero, and they both agreed that they could let Nero deal with this guy on his own.

After all, Nero in the original game could kill this guy alone, so there is no reason why he cannot do it now after Li You's training for a period of time. Li You just plans to guard the retreat route and leave this demon with no way to escape.

As a result, this guy directly pointed him out.

The fire demon didn't realize it at all, and shouted in a muffled voice: "Even if you attack from the dark, you can't possibly cause any harm to me!"

"See my power, I am Beryl, the overlord of the Hell of Fire!!"

As he spoke, Belial swung the giant sword in his hand that looked like a red-hot rock and swept it towards the two of them!

"Boom——!!"

Li You flipped backwards lightly, and Nero jumped up. Both of them landed steadily on the ground and stood in front of Belial.

The two small wooden houses here had been turned into ruins by his sword just now, but the terrain had been opened up a lot.

After demolishing the enemy with one sword, Belial let out a battle cry, turned the giant sword, and stabbed at the two men again!

Despite his huge size, he is not clumsy at all, and his sword can be described as as fast as the wind!

Li You and Nero exchanged glances again for a moment, then he took two steps back, while Nero stepped forward, raised the Crimson Queen with one hand, and stabbed out with a sword in response!
"Boom-!!"

The flaming swords of the Scarlet Queen and Belial collided, and then the two swords of different sizes were stuck together. Belial pushed forward with all his strength, but was pushed back by an even more violent force!

"This is not allowed..."

"clang!!"

Before he could finish his words, Nero exerted force and deflected the flaming sword.

Belial's huge body leaned back, his eyes and words revealing clear disbelief: "Your power... You are not human!"

"You are not human, your whole family...oh, you are not human in the first place."

Nero looked at him and cursed: "Don't spit blood at me. Of course I am a human being, not like you."

"Nonsense! This is definitely not a power that a human can possess!" Belial was furious.

Li You, who had returned to spectator mode, agreed with his judgment.

As mentioned before, Nero was born with supernatural powers. After awakening the Devil's Hand, he not only possessed magic power, but his physical fitness also improved dramatically.

Even though he hasn't obtained the Yama Sword yet and hasn't unlocked the power of the demon, Nero is now not much different from him... in terms of pure strength!
But Li You's strength attribute is already 32 points, and there are also bonuses from various equipment and props. In other words, if he had a blank 32 strength, he would probably still not be able to match Nero's current brute force, which is very scary.

No wonder even Dante said that if it were a pure competition of strength, Nero might be superior to him.

So it is not surprising that Nero was able to defeat Belial.

Nero seemed to be still upset about Belial saying he was not human. He wiped his nose while carrying the Scarlet Queen and said sarcastically, "If it were before, I might think you were pretty powerful. But after I saw that guy's thrust, your attack seems too slow and too weak!"

Obviously, this provocation made Belial furious: "You pathetic insect, how dare you look down on me, Belial, the Overlord of the Hell of Fire! Behold my wrathful flames!"

As he spoke, Belial howled to the sky, and flames all over his body suddenly exploded, and as he roared, it turned into a whirlwind of flames that covered the sky and the earth!

This was not the end yet, he immediately thrust his flaming sword into the ground, transforming the flames around him into an almost blindingly bright light!
The light and heat that erupted were quite destructive. Houses and mining equipment within the coverage area were quickly melted, and even a large area of ​​the ground was lifted up.

Nero did not choose to block it this time, but quickly stepped back to avoid the sharp edge. Li You stood where he was, facing the flames coming towards him, he raised his hand, and magic power surged out of his palm!

"boom--!!"

The dazzling flames soon faded away, and Nero, who retreated to the side, was safe and sound, but Li You was quite dusty and had traces of burn marks on his face.

"hiss……"

He bared his teeth, brushed off the scorched earth on his body, and his burned skin recovered quickly.

Li You just tried to stand still and resist, and wanted to use the power of fire that could only be used in the dragon form to fight. However, he was not proficient in that power after all, and the magic defense he created was a bit uneven, and in the end he was burned several times.

However, he paid special attention to protecting his hair this time, so he didn't look too embarrassed overall.

"Li You, what are you doing?" Nero had already returned to his side, "Why aren't you hiding?"

Before Li You could answer, Beryl took another step and rushed towards the two of them.

His posture did not change, but two wing-like flames burst out from behind him, making him look even more ferocious.

"I will never! Be humiliated by humans!"

Belial swung the huge flaming sword with all his might, pressing down on the two men!

This time, the pressure brought by Belial was far greater than before. Li You and Nero both noticed this, so they dodged to the left and right.

However, Belial immediately pursued him, swinging his giant sword and heading straight for Nero. But Nero also avoided this pursuit, and even Nero waved the Crimson Queen and dodged quickly around him, while constantly attacking Belial's four legs, and the roar of the Crimson Queen was endless!
"Buzz buzz!!"

Although Belial was not clumsy, his huge size meant that he was inconvenient when facing a slippery enemy like Nero.

Even Nero, seeing that Belial couldn't hit him, became even more daring, and used his devil's hand to grab the big horn on Belial's head from a distance, and pulled himself into the air. Then the Crimson Queen roared, and with flames, she drew three beautiful arcs in the air!
“Swish, swish, swish——!!”

“Roar…!!” Belial took Nero’s three consecutive attacks in the air, but still couldn’t touch a single hair of Nero. He was completely furious, “…Enough!”

Belial waved his hand, and pillars of fire began to burst out from the ground, forcing Nero and even Li You, who was watching the battle on the side, to quickly dodge.

At this moment, Belial suddenly took a step back, flames rising around his body, and then he suddenly jumped up. His huge body turned several times in the air, and the flaming sword in his hand swirled and slashed down, splashing large amounts of flowing flames and pressing towards Nero!
Facing Belial's continuous attacks, Nero was inevitably a little flustered. Belial was a lord-level demon after all, and the demonic flames he wielded were even hotter than the heat of the human world. Nero didn't dare to keep using the Scarlet Queen to block them, otherwise his newly strengthened beloved sword would have to be sent back to the factory for overhaul.

But the more Nero retreated, the stronger Belial's desire to chase him became. He leaped up again, and while in the air, he grasped the huge flaming sword with both hands, and dropped heavily from the sky!
Nero wanted to roll to avoid it, but then pillars of lava burst out from the ground, completely blocking the roads on both sides. Behind him, there was only a cliff more than ten meters high.

Obviously, Nero had been forced into a corner and had nowhere to retreat!

Nero immediately understood the situation and realized that he had underestimated his opponent's ability to react and fight. But this was not the time to reflect on himself. He had to deal with Belial's attack first.

After thinking about it, he almost immediately gave up the idea of ​​dodging and prepared to use the Devil's Hand to fight Belial head-on!
"Nero!"

Li You's shout came at the right time. Before Nero could turn his head, a dark purple five-pointed stone smashed on his body, and then a surge of magic power rushed into his body and poured into his right hand!
"——Use maximum power!!"

Nero understood what he meant. Facing the huge flaming sword that was chopped down by Belial, he roared and swung his right hand upwards!
“Get out of here!!”

The huge shadow of the devil's hand emerged, clenched into a fist, and collided head-on with Belial's flaming sword in mid-air!

"Boom-!!"

With a loud bang, an invisible shock wave spread in all directions. In the confrontation between Nero and Belial, Belial, who had an absolute advantage in nature, was knocked away by a punch!
"Hoooooooooo-!!"

Belial took off again at a speed that was no less than his previous fall, drew a clear arc in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground.

"Boom!!"

He was seriously injured this time, and even the flames burning on his body dimmed, leaving only a few floating sparks.

Seeing this, Nero stepped forward quickly, clenched his fists with his left and right hands alternately, and hit his palms, ready to send Belial off.

But at this moment, Belial roared again, and stood up quickly, and the flames on his body were rekindled!
Now Nero couldn't grab it directly. Even the devil's hand would be afraid of heat.

Belial raised his sword and roared: "I will never acknowledge a young man like you. There is no way you can break through my fire defense and hurt my body!"

Nero didn't reply, but tightened his grip on the Crimson Queen once again.

"…So why would you tell your opponent how to defeat you?"

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in Belial's ears. It turned out that Li You had touched his back without him noticing!
Belial turned his head and was shocked: "Impossible! How could someone break through my protective flame and crawl behind me!?"

Li You ignored him and stepped on Belial's back, with the red gun blade sticking out from the end of the spiral stick in his hand again!

Then Li You stabbed the threaded spear into the back of Belial's neck without hesitation!
"puff--"

The threaded spear ignored Belial's protective flames and easily pierced deeply into Belial's tough skin!
Not only that, after the threaded spear pierced Belial's body, the flames burning around Belial suddenly went out again, and this time very abruptly. The whole demon seemed to lose its vitality immediately, and fell to the ground with a plop.

"What have you done to me, human...!?"

Belial roared in shock and anger. He could feel that the needle piercing the back of his neck was actually absorbing the demonic fire in his body!
This surprised him even more than Nero's previous blow of knocking away his own blow with a punch!
But Li You had already jumped off his back and returned to Nero. He ignored Belial's question and said to Nero, "Go ahead. I have helped you stop his power from recovering. Now it's your turn to perform."

Nero nodded heavily, then walked step by step to Belial.

Looking at Nero's hideous demon arm that was emitting a bluish-white light, even Belial, the overlord of the Hell of Fire, couldn't help but feel an indescribable and rare emotion.

"Is this... fear?"

Nero didn't care what he was thinking. He stretched out his devil's hand and grabbed Belial's head.

He exerted force with his right hand, and the huge shadow of the devil's hand moved, pulling Bailey up from the ground and throwing him into the air!
Then, Nero used the devil's hand to drag himself into the air again. He reached out again in the air, this time holding the horns on Belial's head tightly, and then smashed him heavily to the ground!

"Boom——!!"

Belial fell heavily to the ground and couldn't get up for a while. But Nero's attack was not over yet. At the end, Nero, who was suspended in mid-air, clenched his right fist and swung it at Belial below with all his strength!

"Boom!!"

The huge demon hand smashed down heavily, and this punch filled with magic power directly blasted Belial's head and even the entire upper body of the human figure into the ground!

For a moment, only the lower half of Belial's quadrupedal body remained on the ground.

"Clap."

Nero landed. He clapped his hands, took a breath, and said with a smile: "What the hell is the Overlord of the Flame Prison? He is just that good. He is no match for us at all."

"Right, Li You?"

Li You just smiled. Nero didn't mean that we should kill each other together. After all, what Li You did was just to destroy Belial's protective flame. The battle was still left to Nero to solve by himself. He was the main contributor.

Now neither of them made a finishing move, because they could feel that Belial's breath was extremely weak, and it would be difficult for him to climb out on his own.

After all, Nero's demonic hand is more than just pure brute force. Every attack of the ghost hand phantom is a pure magical impact.

The two came to Belial's pit. Nero scratched his head and asked, "Should I pull this guy out?" Li You smiled and said, "It's troublesome. After all, my weapon is still on him."

"That's true." Nero suddenly realized, and stretched out his devil's hand again, this time grabbing Belial's tail. He carried Belial's tail on his shoulder, pulled it back hard, and dragged the miserable Overlord of the Inferno out from underground.

After all, the physiological structure of demons is different from that of humans. Even after suffering such a severe impact and even though he was covered in wounds, Bailey still maintained a clear consciousness.

He fell to the ground, staring at Li You and Nero, especially Nero's devilish right hand, and said: "Sure enough... that is, the devil's..."

Nero was getting impatient: "Have you said enough? I've already told you that I'm a human, not a demon. I'm different from you!"

Hearing such a statement again in such a completely different situation, Belial actually reacted.

"Really? You're neither a human nor a demon. You're just like him..."

"Who?" Nero asked subconsciously.

But Belial did not answer. He looked at Li You and Nero again and said, "In this case, I need to recover my strength!"

As he spoke, the flames all over his body ignited again, and this time they were getting more and more intense. He seemed to want to turn his entire body into flames!

Nero was startled on the spot. Before he could decide whether he should dodge or hold Belial with his devil's hand, he saw the flames that had just ignited around Belial suddenly go out again.

Nero and Belial were both stunned.

Li You on the side smiled softly and said, "My Lord, if you have forgotten what I just did so quickly, I am a little sad."

Beryl reacted: "That gun!! What did you do to me?"

Li Youze said: "This is difficult to explain to you. Anyway, you can understand it as your flame encountering a higher flame, so it can't burn."

The spiral staff is the spiral sword, which was rubbed by him personally from the ashes of the original fire that was finally chosen to inherit in the three worlds of Dark Souls. There is no doubt that the core of its power is a spark of the original fire!

In front of the primordial fire, Belial's demonic flame was really nothing.

Beryl shouted angrily: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"I am the Overlord of the Hell of Fire. My territory is the hottest area in the demon world. How could there be a flame stronger than mine?"

Li You couldn't help but shook his head: "What a pitiful fellow, he thinks he has control over the strongest flame just by guarding his own little piece of land, it's so funny."

He suddenly jumped up, then fell heavily, hitting Belial's back and knocking him to the ground again.

"In that case, I have to practice anyway, so I'll let you experience it firsthand."

As he spoke, Li You grabbed the threaded spear that was still stuck in Belial's neck, and with a little force, he pushed it deeper inside. At the same time, his own magic power began to quickly pour into the spear.

Belial almost immediately realized that the gun had penetrated deep into his body, and with the supply of Li You's magic power, it was like a whirlpool, madly absorbing the fire in his body!

Yes, it was absorption. In that strange spear, Belial could only vaguely sense a hint of flame, but as Li You said, the powerful demonic fire in his body, the flame from the demon world, was actually suppressed and controlled by the little flame in the other party's spear, as if it was natural!
Although it was just a tiny flame, Belial's Hellfire was like encountering a true king, and he did not dare to resist at all.

"……How can this be?"

Beryl was already somewhat dazed. He used all his strength to turn his head and barely looked at Li You on his back. He asked in a nearly murmured voice, "Who are you..."

Li You smiled and said, "I'll let you take a look."

As he spoke, Li You's blood began to surge and strength overflowed. In an instant he transformed into a dragon man, and then immediately switched back.

Belial's tall body became an excellent barrier for Li You, and Nero did not see clearly the change in his posture at this moment.

But Beryl saw it clearly, his eyes widened to the limit: "So... there is such a power!"

Thinking about what Li You said at the beginning, that he didn't want to make a move, Belial realized that the man was telling the truth. The terrifying aura that Li You just exuded made him realize that if the man really wanted to, he could easily defeat him.

At this moment, the pride in Beryl's heart completely collapsed.

Then, his huge body suddenly caught fire, but the flames did not scatter. Instead, they kept shrinking and condensing, and finally all surrounded his remaining head.

"Dang Cang."

Since Beryl had lost his neck, the threaded spear could no longer be fixed on him, so it fell off, and Li You also returned to the ground.

He looked at Belial's head floating in the air with some surprise, not quite understanding what was going on.

The spiral spear should have suppressed the fire in Belial's body, but it can actually transform into a form that is close to fire?
But at the same time, if Belial wanted to run, now would be the perfect time to escape, but he just floated quietly in front of Li You and Nero, with no intention of returning to the stone tablet.

Belial was no longer able to speak. He forced himself to open his eyes and glanced at Li You and Nero beside him. Then the flames around his head instantly condensed inwards and finally turned into a rough stone sword, which fell in front of the two men.

Li You: "?"

Nero: “?”

"What's going on?" he asked.

Li You was also a little puzzled: "I don't know either."

How come our Fire Prison Overlord Belial turned into a stone sword?

The two looked at each other.

However, Li You thought of some of the plot contents of Devil May Cry 5 and had some guesses.

"Maybe...wait!"

Halfway through his words, Li You suddenly turned his head and looked towards the other side of the hill. Nero's reaction was much slower than his. After a while, he heard the approaching footsteps and looked over there with Li You.

next moment.

"Ah--"

A scarecrow demon suddenly flew out from the other side of the cliff.

Nero subconsciously pulled out the Azure Rose and wanted to shoot the demon, but Li You immediately grabbed his gun: "Wait."

Nero took a closer look and realized that it was not just a demon that flew out, but a woman in strange clothes was riding on the demon. She stepped on the demon, used it as a cushion, and smashed it heavily to the ground.

This is a woman with a very unique look, she has brown skin, silver-gray bob hair. She is wearing an extremely revealing dress, which exposes her thighs, waist, back and even neckline.

The woman loosened her grip on the demon's limbs and stood up, but the scarecrow demon that was used as a cushion was motionless, and black mist-like blood was oozing from his body.

The woman then walked towards Li You and Nero, taking only a few steps, but her steps were graceful.

But at this moment, several scarecrow demons jumped out from the black stone tablet in the distance. After landing, these demons surrounded the woman again.

The woman stopped walking, looked back at the scarecrows that were surrounding her, and sighed softly. Then, she took a pose that showed off her curves and took out a dagger from the inside of her boots.

She then wielded the spinning dagger and fought with the demons that rushed towards her!
The woman's fighting style is very unique, just like her first impression, she is very good at using the flexibility of her body to deal with demons.

The woman didn't mind sticking close to the demons, performing various unique fighting moves, allowing her to evade enemy attacks and cause damage to the demons, all while fully displaying her proud figure.

That’s not all. Women will even make meaningless moaning sounds like “Oh~” during fighting.

Leaving aside Li You, Nero, who seemed to be under 18 years old, didn't know where to look.

But in short, although this woman's fighting style was a bit flashy in Nero's eyes, it was not inefficient. She easily chopped the scarecrow demons that had just emerged from the stone tablet into pieces.

Then, the woman put the spinning dagger back into her boots, walked towards Li You and the other man again, and stood in front of them.

The three of them looked at each other for a moment, and Nero couldn't help but speak first:

"Are you also from the cult? I don't think I've seen you before."

Nero asked this question because he finally found the emblem of the Demon Sword Cult on the woman's extremely revealing robe. It was an emblem of identity that could only be used by cadres.

The woman smiled ambiguously and said, "Yes, I'm new here, so you haven't seen me. You can call me Gloria. I've heard of you, Nero. What are you two doing?"

Nero avoided her gaze and said, "We are hunting down the assassin who murdered the Pope. Have you seen him?"

Gloria smiled and said, "According to eyewitness intelligence, the assassin seemed to have gone to Fortuna Castle, but I don't know more. Compared to this, I think I heard someone ask a question just now?"

As she spoke, she looked at the stone sword that still fell on the ground and smiled, "Sure enough."

Nero asked: "Do you know why Beryl became like this?"

Gloria said, "I do know, and it's very simple."

"Do you know anything about magic weapons? Where do you think magic weapons come from?"

Nero asked, "Aren't those people with powerful magic made by themselves?"

Gloria said: "There is indeed such a way. But there is another way of birth, which is to directly transform from a demon into a magic weapon."

"The devil transformed into a magic weapon?" Nero was puzzled, and Li You suddenly understood.

"Yes." Gloria ignored their expressions and replied, "When a demon that is strong enough is defeated by someone else, and his body and mind recognize the power of that person, the demon will turn into a magic weapon and be used by the person who defeated him."

"This is the rule of existence of the demon clan. Transformation into a magic weapon is not determined by the will of the demon itself. As long as his heart surrenders, he will definitely become a magic weapon."

"There is such a thing?" Not to mention Nero, even Li You showed surprise on his face.

He had guessed that this stone sword was obviously the condensation of Belial's power, but he didn't know that the magic weapon had such a setting.

Nero looked at the stone sword and said, "So this means that the demon named Belial recognized our power, so he turned into this sword?"

“That’s basically it.” Gloria smiled ambiguously again and said, “So you two don’t have to worry about this magic weapon. You just need to use its power. This is also what Belial hopes deep down.”

Li You and Nero looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment. In fact, they both thought the same thing at this moment, that is, the demon race is really... extreme enough.

Seeing them like this, Gloria didn't say anything more. She just said, "Well, I need to go back to the headquarters of the cult now, so I won't stay here any longer. I just heard some noise here, so I came to take a look. So, goodbye, both of you."

Having said that, she once again walked away from the hill with unsteady steps.

Li You and Nero exchanged glances again, and Nero said, "In that case, you can take the sword."

Li Youze said, "No, you should take this. We fought together in the battle just now. And you contributed more. It doesn't make sense that the final spoils should belong to me."

"Besides, I don't need this magic weapon. It will be more useful to you."

Li You picked up the spiral spear that fell on the ground and said with a smile: "You should have seen that this is a magic weapon, and it is quite powerful. Besides, I have some spare ones, so I don't need other weapons."

"And your Crimson Queen is just an ordinary iron weapon. A magic weapon like this should be able to take your combat power to a higher level."

Although Nero still wanted to refuse, Li You didn't give him any more instructions. He picked up the stone sword dropped by Belial and put it into Nero's hand.

"Take it!"

Nero had no choice but to put away the stone sword.

"So what shall we do next...? Is it okay for you to come to me?"

Li You smiled again: "Of course, I have obtained permission."

But he allowed it himself.

Nero didn't realize what Li You meant, but he breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good! To be honest, if you weren't here, I really don't have the confidence to catch the assassin by myself, but now it's different!"

"With the combined efforts of the two of us, we will definitely be able to capture that person!"
