Survival in the game world begins with Biochemical 2

Chapter 474 True identity exposed?

In Fortuna Castle, Li You checked the system messages as he walked.

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations on completing the achievement: Overlord of the Flame Prison. ]

[Achievement content: Completely defeat the Flame Prison Overlord Belial. ]

[Achievement Rewards: Achievement Points × 2100, Life Magic Stone × 1. ]

[Life Magic Stone: A blue magic gem crystallized from the power of life, which can strengthen the physique and can only be used by the person himself.]

……

"...Well, it's still somewhat useful." Li You nodded slightly.

The Life Magic Stone can improve the body's endurance, defense, and recovery capabilities. The magnitude is not large, but the effect is permanent. Because only he can use it, Li You took it out and crushed it, and immediately felt his body strengthened further.

His physical body’s recovery ability now is probably worse than those BOWs… Well, it’s still a little worse, but it’s also very strong.

"But, isn't it necessary for this magic stone to be remodeled from the game?"

Although the name sounds nice, the Life Magic Stone is really the same as in the game, a blue crying human face. Even Li You, who believes in strength, said that it was ugly.

He shook his hands and made a sound.

Of course, he could do this openly because Nero was not around.

——Not long ago.

After defeating two ice lizard demons named "Frost" or "Ice Blade" in the setting, Li You and Nero successfully entered the Fortuna Castle.

Pushing open the heavy door, the two of them saw a spacious main hall with classical decoration and a solemn atmosphere. At the end of the second-floor corridor hung a huge portrait of the contemporary Pope Sancottos.

There are many wooden chairs in the middle of the hall. Nero explained at the time: "Every time a congregant comes to worship or a tourist comes to visit, they will be brought here to listen to the bishop's sermon first... It's boring to death."

At this point, he noticed Li You's look and spread his hands: "Don't look at me like that. Although this is an ancient building of great religious significance to the sect, I don't think it's necessary to come here to report from time to time. Besides, I have no interest in the damp air unique to this kind of ancient building."

Li You looked at him and asked, "You really don't have the slightest respect for the Order... But didn't you also grow up in Fortuna? Why is this the case?"

Nero paused for a moment, then looked at the surroundings before answering, "...It's simple. Because I realized several years ago that the faith of the cult is a complete lie. Even if Sparta is really a god, he is not watching over us, and he will not protect the believers of the cult."

"Otherwise, how could Jillie and Credo's parents, who are so pious,...!"

Nero turned his head away and didn't say anything else, but Li You could already guess what he meant.

However, Li You also admitted that although Nero's views were a bit extreme, they were essentially correct. Sparta was not what was described in the scriptures of the Demon Sword Cult, and it would not bless these believers who considered themselves to be devout.

Of course, faith may be false, but some people are pure in their hearts. Jillie is pure, and so are her and Credo's parents.

"...Let's not talk about this anymore. Since the assassin is here, let's find him and never let him get away again!"

On the side, after letting out a breath, Nero took the initiative to change the subject.

"But the problem is, we don't know why that guy came here, so we can't search him specifically. The only way now is to split up and act!"

As he spoke, he pinched his right wrist and said, "If I run into that guy again, I'll definitely punch him in the face to vent my anger!"

Li You thought that your mysterious obsession might come from your original self in the original world line, but he didn't object on the surface.

Although Nero's current fighting power is definitely not enough to compete with Dante, Dante already knows that Nero is related to him by blood, so he should be able to handle it in a controlled manner.

So the two of them separated in the hall and went their separate ways to start their investigation.

——Time returns to the present.

After briefly confirming the achievement reward for the first BOSS of Devil May Cry 4, Li You continued his search.

Although he said it was a search, it was obvious that he had no intention of actually looking for Dante.

What would Dante do now? Another fight? He wasn't a combat fanatic.

So at this moment, he was walking casually in the large corridor on the right wing of the castle, looking here and there, as if he was really here for sightseeing.

He certainly wouldn't just slack off. As long as he thought the time was about right, he would go to the arena and wait for Nero to finish his search.

As for now...

Li You walked and walked until he came to the restaurant of Fortuna Castle.

The restaurant is quite large, with a long table in the middle covered with a thick tablecloth, full of historical atmosphere, and a variety of classical tableware placed on the table.

There are many decorations on the four walls of the restaurant, such as a pair of crouching stone lion statues and a specimen of a stag head hanging high up. These remind Li You of the ancient castle of the Salazar family.

But obviously, the most eye-catching thing in the room was not the decorations, but the woman with silver hair, brown skin and a proud figure, who was sitting at the dining table with her back to him.

Gloria.

Li You showed no sign of surprise at all, but walked to the opposite side of Gloria, pulled out a gorgeous wooden high-back chair beside the table, and sat down. Gloria also did not have any extra reaction, but just held an empty gold-decorated goblet, half leaning on the table, showing off her figure that would attract everyone's attention, and looked at Li You without concealing her appearance.

"Ms. Gloria, I thought you would be in a hurry to go to the headquarters of the cult, but why did you follow us all the way to the castle?" Li You was unmoved, but after looking at each other for a moment, he spoke first.

Gloria gave an ambiguous smile, shook the empty wine glass, and said, "Well, you could say... I forgot something. Besides, I'm also very interested in you, a demon hunter from thousands of miles away."

Li You's expression remained unchanged: "You are a cadre of the cult. I am a poor demon hunter from another place. What is there for you to pay attention to?"

Gloria raised her hand to cover her mouth and chuckled twice: "Are you still pretending with me?"

As she spoke, she suddenly stood up and leaned forward, getting closer to Li You. She didn't care at all that her movements would expose more of her upper body fabric, which already covered a worrying amount of area.

Gloria leaned forward with her upper body in an exaggerated posture and reached out to hook Li You's chin.

"When you were dealing with that Beryl, didn't you look particularly sexy? That's what I want to see, huh?"

Li You frowned slightly, leaned back slightly, and got rid of Gloria's hand. He didn't expect that Gloria saw his instant transformation into a dragon man when he overpowered Belial on a whim?

It seems that this woman has been hiding nearby for a long time, but she just never showed up.

"...Tsk, I suffered another loss in searching for the enemy."

Even though he was a little annoyed, Li You remained calm: "I don't quite understand what you are talking about."

Gloria's smile became more and more ambiguous. Seeing Li You avoiding her, she simply pushed herself up with her hands and climbed onto the dining table. She half-lying in front of Li You, posing in a posture that made people imagine in many ways. She said, "Don't be afraid, and there's no need to hide it. I'm just very curious about you..."

"Come, let me see~"

As she spoke, she actually reached out her hand towards Li You's chest.

Li You suddenly kicked out and kicked the long table. He had already used all his strength in this kick, and the heavy solid wood table was kicked back violently! At the same time, Li You also used this reaction force to let his high-back chair slide in the opposite direction!

"boom--!!"

Almost at the same time as he reacted, Gloria also moved. She reached out and took out her spinning short blade from the inside of her thigh-high boots. She rose into the air while turning sideways. The overflowing magic power pushed her to spin in the air, and the short blade quickly cut towards Li You!

"Shhhhh-"

Li You had already stood up, with a long threaded stick in his hand, and was about to point it at Gloria. But Gloria was very fast and got to a very close distance first. Before Li You could switch the long stick from attack to defense, her blade had already fallen!

"oh……?"

Li You was not stubborn and changed his battle strategy on the spot. He raised his left hand to block in front of him, and the glass umbrella opened instantly!

"clang--!!"

Purple flames danced on the surface and edge of the glass umbrella, not only blocking the attack, but Li You also took advantage of the situation to rotate the umbrella, violently deflecting Gloria's dagger, causing her subsequent pursuit to fail.

A trace of surprise flashed across Gloria's face. She jumped back and landed on the long table. She also assumed the classic side-leg squat posture, with her right leg squatting and her straight and slender left leg lying across the table.

But Li You was not moved at all. After gaining the space, he immediately swung the spiral stick, jumped up suddenly, and smashed it down on Gloria's head!

Li You was completely unmoved by Gloria's extremely deliberate flirting. Firstly, it was because someone around him had a figure and appearance that was just as good as hers, or even better. Secondly, it was because of Gloria's true identity.

Of course, he would not forget that the "Gloria" in front of him was just a decoy, and beneath that layer of skin was Dante's partner, Tracy!

Who dares to touch this damn Dante? Besides, Li You is a pure warrior and doesn't do such things.

Then again, it was because this appearance was not herself at all that Tracy deliberately acted like Gloria.

At this moment, seeing Li You swinging his stick without hesitation, Gloria... or rather Tracy's eyes also flashed with a hint of surprise. But she was not slow in her movements, and dodged immediately, getting out of the way of the attack.

Li You did not deliberately pursue, so the stick finally split the obviously antique solid wood table into two, and left a deep mark on the ground!

Tracy hid in a corner of the room, playing the role of "Gloria" again, and giggled: "Why are you so rude? You didn't even say a word, but you just hit someone in the face with a big stick. This is not good~"

Li You completely ignored him and threw out several glass shurikens with a wave of his hand. The purple-blue light flashed across the air and attacked Tracy!
"Dang Dang Dang——"

Tracy swung the spinning short sword in her hand and knocked down the glass shuriken. She said, "Don't be so impatient! I want to see your other side, not such ungentlemanly behavior!"

The spiral stick spun a few times in Li You's hand, and then he raised it in front of him, holding one side in each hand.

"Click."

With a slight sound, Li You actually broke the long stick into two.

Tracy was also startled: "Hmm...?"

But she immediately understood Li You's intention, because in Li You's hand, the long spiral stick divided into two sections gradually changed its shape, twisted and stretched, and soon turned from two short sticks into two short scimitars that also had spiral engravings!

Li You raised his scimitar and danced with both swords in a whistling manner, and sparks appeared on the swords.

He looked at "Gloria" whose face was becoming increasingly serious, and said with a smile: "If you want to see my other side, it depends on whether you have the ability!"
