Survival in the game world begins with Biochemical 2

Chapter 476: Frozen Demon, Baal!
"boom--!!"

The pattern on the gun body of Hand Cannon X glowed faintly, and a bullet wrapped in magic power flew out!

The bullet flew diagonally upwards and accurately pierced through a demon floating in the air that looked like the god of death wearing a black cloak.

The bullet wrapped with magic power tore off a large piece of the demon's cloak, but it did not shake at all, floating downwards, with a long, glowing red claw extending from under its cloak, and it was actually still thinking about fighting back.

But the second bullet followed closely, and this time it directly tore its black cloak into pieces!

"Pfft."

Without the cloak made of magic, the demon fell directly to the ground, and its true form was exposed - it turned out to be an insect-like creature with several sharp legs.

The original insect still wanted to escape, but the spiral cane in Li You's hand suddenly stretched out and turned into a spear, which stabbed it to death on the ground!

The little insect's body suddenly stiffened, all its legs straightened up, and then it went limp and never moved again.

Li You pulled out the spear with his backhand, turned it back into a short staff, and put the Hand Cannon X back into his waist.

The demon just now was called "Mephisto", which means it can appear and disappear like a devil and take people's lives. Although it is not so exaggerated in reality, their bodies are half-empty before their magic cloaks are destroyed, so they are indeed a big threat to ordinary people.

However, Li You had already killed more than one such demon on the way from the restaurant, so these low-level demons naturally posed no threat to him.

Li You walked along the large corridor all the way to the gate at the end. This door led to the fighting arena in the middle of the castle, but the gate was blocked by a magic barrier at this time, and a stone tablet with dark blue patterns blocked the way ahead.

This is not surprising, because the fighting field behind this door is another BOSS battlefield in the game. Although the castle does not have as many strange mechanisms as in the game, the necessary precautions are still there.

As for the strength of the magic barrier, Li You had tried it and it was indeed not low. Although he could try to break through it by force, it would require full firepower and would inevitably cause a big commotion.

Just at this moment, footsteps were heard from the other end of the corridor, and then Nero came out carrying the Scarlet Queen, with the devil's hand still emitting a bluish-white light.

As soon as he saw Li You, he smiled and said, "You really know how to pick the time. I just found the magic tool to break the barrier."

He didn't waste any time and walked forward immediately, reaching out and pressing on the stone tablet at the core of the barrier.

His demonic hand emitted light, which echoed with the patterns on the stone tablet, and finally the frequency was completely unified. The blue light of the stone tablet flashed, and then completely dimmed, and the magic barrier was lifted.

Nero turned around and smiled as he explained: "I just found a secret room in the library on the second floor. There was only a strange magic item in it. I guessed that it could be used to remove the barrier, and it turned out to be true."

Li You nodded slightly after hearing this.

In the game, the item that Nero found in the secret room is called "Mercury Soul". After obtaining it, he can use the devil's hand to activate a mechanism called "Blade Gyro". The gyroscope can be used to attack enemies, destroy obstacles, and act as a key to unlock the barrier.

However, things in this world are not that complicated. The mechanisms in the castle are relatively simple, and Nero only needs to touch it to break the seal of the gate.

"Let's go. I can already sense the presence of a powerful demon." After removing the magic barrier, Nero's arms still emitted light that alternated between bright and dark, reminding people that there were still powerful demons active nearby.

Li You said, "It's just behind the door... Let's go."

After passing through the gate in front, the first thing that hits you is another cloud of snow, but it doesn't affect your vision much.

So the two of them could clearly see the spacious open-air fighting arena in front of them. The fighting arena was rectangular in shape and the ground was covered with compacted snow.

Of course, they did not miss the second black stone tablet standing at the end of the fighting arena.

"That thing again..." Nero clicked his tongue, "I couldn't destroy the one in Belial's place last time, but there's still a piece here?"

"After all, where did this thing come from? It can't be that man's doing, right?"

Li You also looked at the black stone tablet. Its shape was basically the same as the holy tablet in the city of Fortuna, but it was much smaller.

He had asked Nero before. The holy monument in the city was said to be left behind by Sparta when it sealed the gate to the demon world. It was one of the most important holy objects in the City of Destiny.

"It turns out that thing was not made by the cult." This was the first thought that came to Li You's mind after listening to Nero's explanation.

Combining what Nero said, Li You figured out the details of these black stone tablets. They should be built by Agnes of the Technical Bureau of the Church, imitating the "holy tablets" in the city. They are degraded versions of the gate to the devil world - they can also be called the gate to hell. Anyway, there is not much difference to the human world.

The holy monument in the city is still sealed, but these small hell gates, after being designed, built, and powered by powerful magic weapons, are now able to function normally and connect to the demon world.

The reason why so many demons appeared in the City of Destiny was because of this thing. Even a lord-level demon like Belial could come to the human world through it, which shows how powerful the Small Hell Gate is.

Therefore, even though Li You was extremely disgusted with the actions of the Pope and Agnas, he still had to admit that Agnas's technical ability was really outstanding. Without Agnas, Sankodos would be nothing more than an old man with ambition but no ability, and he would not be able to make much waves.

It's a pity that Agnas didn't use his brain in the right way, and Li You felt deeply sorry about it.

"Like the one with Beryl, this one should also have a starter, and a powerful demon coming out from the back."

Li You looked at the stone tablet and spoke.

"It's still difficult to destroy them now, so let's aim to stop it from running."

Last time, after the two defeated Belial, before moving on, Nero also thought about smashing the small hell gate. Although Nero didn't know what it was, it was obvious that the demons came out from it.

Unfortunately, Nero's strength is not enough. At this moment, he hasn't even activated his demonization. Even if he uses the magic weapon Belial, it is difficult to destroy the small hell gate.

They have already started to operate, and they are also protected by a magic barrier, and the essence of the barrier comes from the magic weapon used to activate it. If you want to destroy it with brute force, it is basically equivalent to destroying the magic weapon itself, which is quite difficult.

Even Li You was not sure, so after a brief investigation, they chose to give up and only suspended the operation of Belial's small hell gate.

Right now, the two of them have the same idea.

"Then come on! Where is the demon that came out of this stone tablet? I'll chop you down!"

Nero said as he pulled out the Crimson Queen and took a step forward.

At this moment, the originally clear night sky was instantly shrouded in darkness and snow!
The overwhelming snow was accompanied by a cold wind and the full moon was completely hidden. For a moment, Li You and Nero could only see each other's vague figures.

But then, two slender ice-blue figures emerged in the wind and snow.

They were two humanoids with the bodies of young women, but with long hair like thick tentacles on their heads. They were faintly emitting an ice-blue light, which was very eye-catching in the darkness and snow.

When they appeared, Li You and Nero heard the whispers of young women teasing and seducing. Two figures floated in the air, swimming freely above and below the ground. Sometimes they twisted left and right, sometimes they stuck together, entangled with each other, and made various ambiguous movements with full visual impact.

Nero wiped his nose and said, "It seems that this guy was responsible for this snowstorm."

He didn't pay much attention to the two dancing figures. He just sniffed and searched for the real enemy.

In comparison, Li You looked quite carefully - but he was looking at the face.

After all, according to a well-known hot knowledge, these two in the game are actually modeled after Jiriye...

cough cough.

So Li You was very curious about the situation between these two people in this world.

After his meticulous observation, he finally concluded that they looked a little similar to Jillie, but were still completely different.

The doubt was solved, and Li You stopped wasting time. He turned to Nero and asked, "How is it?"

Nero nodded: "Found it."

"Very good, then..."

Before the two men could finish their words, the next moment, the wind and snow around them changed again. In the darkness in the distance, a huge monster suddenly rushed out, opened its exaggeratedly large bloody mouth, and bit down on the two men's heads!

However, Nero and Li You quickly dodged to the left and right, easily avoiding the bite of the giant beast.

Nero landed steadily, holding the Crimson Queen in his hand. He pointed at the giant beast that had appeared and said with a smile: "So this is what you look like... It's really ugly!"

The giant beast that tried to swallow the two men in one bite had turned around, revealing its true appearance. It looked like a giant toad several meters tall and ten meters long.

It was gray all over, with a big mouth full of sharp teeth, and icicle-like thorns protruding from its back. It looked really ugly.

It has two long tentacles on its head, which are swaying, and the ends are connected to the two "dancers" that Li You and Nero saw just now - it turns out that they are the bait it uses to hunt.

"You didn't fall for it. I wasted my efforts! You will die a miserable death!" The giant toad-like demon spewed out a foul stench as soon as he opened his mouth, and spoke in human language with a heavy accent.

Nero raised his hand and waved it in front of him, fanning away the stench. "Your disguise is too poor. What kind of idiot would be fooled by you?" The toad demon was furious and roared, "How dare you look down on me, Lord Baal! I will swallow you both whole!"

Li You: "?"

Whether you are being reasonable or not, I didn’t say anything!

But Nero had already revealed his magic weapon Belial. Relying on his natural power, he held two great swords in both hands and laughed, "No, I have to kill you as soon as possible, otherwise your ugly face will be engraved in my mind!"

As he said that, he jumped up, flames lit up on both of his swords, and smashed down on the head of the toad demon who called himself Baal!

"boom--!!"

Two burning swords chopped down on Baal's head. Although Baal's tough skin could absorb some of the damage, it still couldn't withstand Nero's heavy blow and was cut with two huge wounds!
Disgusting blood spurted out, and even though Nero had already flipped backwards and retreated, he couldn't avoid getting some of it on him.

After landing, Nero looked at the stains on his coat with a genuine look of disgust on his face: "My clothes... I didn't bring any spare coats, you bastard toad!"

Baal was equally furious: "How dare you hurt me? I won't forgive you! I'll have my brothers tear you into pieces and swallow you!"

Nero clicked his tongue, turned around and shouted to Li You, "Li You, let's discuss something. How about just killing this guy?"

"Even if it becomes a magic weapon, I don't want to use it at all!"

Li You, who did not take action immediately, shook his head and said, "You also heard what Gloria said. Not all demons can be transformed into magic weapons. This guy is not qualified."

Nero laughed: "That's right! Compared to Beryl, it is much weaker!"

Baal heard the conversation between the two and became furious: "You tiny human! Die!"

It suddenly shook its body quickly, and shot the icicle thorns on its back into the sky like missiles. The ice spikes rose to a high place, and then under the pull of gravity, covered Li You and Nero!

Nero reacted quickly. He used the vague shadow on the ground to determine the location of the ice spike and dodged it quickly.

As for Li You, he chose another way. Instead of retreating, he advanced and rushed to the side of Bal at almost flashing speed!

Although Li You had left most of the battles to Nero in order to train him, he judged that Nero's current strength would definitely not be enough to deal with Baal. He might even gain nothing after defeating this guy. There was really no need to delay it for so long.

Besides, don’t forget the “brothers” that Bal just mentioned.

So he acted decisively and prepared to kill the big toad with bad breath together with Nero!

He had already put the spiral cane back into his backpack, and instead, the ferocious and vicious Black Knight axe appeared!
Seeing Li You rushing in front of him, Bal was still alert, but he obviously didn't take it too seriously. How much damage could an ordinary human do to it?

Seeing that Bal dared to look down on him, Li You was happy to take advantage of this, so he immediately swung his axe and chopped it down hard, leaving a horrible gash in Bal's side abdomen!

Blood mixed with internal organs poured out, and Bal let out a scream. He couldn't help but step back a few steps to distance himself from Li You, and yelled in shock and anger: "What is that, what is that!?"

In fact, the damage caused by this axe made Li You a little confused. The Black Knight Axe was certainly built to fight against large enemies, and the unique axe blade could indeed effectively strike the giant beast, but the damage just now was still exaggerated.

If Li You had aimed at the sole of Bal's foot instead of his stomach, this axe would have been able to cut off most of Bal's leg.

But why is the damage so high?

Could it be that... after leaving the Soul World, the "Special Attack Against Demons" of the Black Knight weapon was expanded to be effective against all enemies named "Demons"?
Li You's eyes lit up: If that's true, then this thing is going to win big in the Devil May Cry world!
On the other side, after being injured and screaming in pain, Baal summoned the blizzard again, hiding his huge body in the flying snow and darkness. Two bait humanoids then emerged and began to attack Nero.

But they were all avoiding Li You.

Nero, who was standing next to him, was dealing with their entanglement. He glanced at Li You and the Black Knight Axe in his hand. Although he was a little curious about where it came from, he naturally did not ask at this time. Instead, he stretched out his devil's hand and grabbed one of the floating bait figures. He pulled hard and stretched the tentacles on its head straight!

“Li You!!”

Li You immediately understood, jumped up holding the Black Knight's axe, and chopped down heavily!
"clang!!"

The Black Knight's axe was embedded in the ground, leaving a deep scar. The bait tentacle that Nero had caught was cut in half by Li You's axe, and was cut off from Baal's body.

"Ouch!"

Hidden in the darkness, Baal roared in pain again, causing the bait on another tentacle to tremble.

Although it did not remove the magic of hiding, Nero already had a way to find it.

"Shhhhh-"

Li You suddenly raised his hand and threw several glass shuriken, heading straight for the remaining tentacle bait. The bait floated in the air, and although it was a little embarrassed, it managed to dodge the attack.

But then, a huge demon hand made of magic power grabbed it from the side!

The two of them didn't communicate at all this time, but they played in perfect harmony.

"No--!!"

Baal's roar was extremely piercing, but Nero turned a deaf ear to it and pulled Baal out of his hiding magic with a strong pull! After he appeared, the blizzard around him was obviously much weaker.

Nero used his devil's hand to pull hard again, and Baal's huge body was lifted up close to the ground and crashed into the two people! Baal's resistance was futile, so he simply opened his big mouth and bit down, intending to fight to the death!
"How dare you!" Nero shouted angrily, "Li You!"

The two stood side by side, both holding their weapons. The next moment, facing the attack of Baal, Li You and Nero raised their hands at the same time, and two sharp lights flashed!
"Shua——!!"

The Black Knight's axe and Belial each slashed across one side of Bell's body, leaving deep scars on both sides of its body!

Li You's figure flashed again and returned to the front of Bal, while Nero used the side wall of the fighting arena to gain leverage and leaped into the air!
Immediately, Li You dragged the Black Knight's axe on the ground, and Nero grasped both swords tightly and delivered the final blow at the same time!
"Drink——!"

Nero quickly fell onto Baal's back, and the two greatswords pierced into his flesh mercilessly!
Li You turned around, dragged the Black Knight's axe on the ground, accumulated strength, and finally made a heavy chopped move towards Bal's head!
"Shua——!!"

The three sharp blades either pierced or chopped, tearing apart the defenses of the demon Baal and twisting its body and brain into a mess!
The demon Baal let out a brief wail and fell heavily to the ground.

Nero landed on the ground, dragging two big swords to Li You's side: "This guy is really stupid, it's so easy to fight him... Wait."

He paused, then remembered something: "Did it say before... Brothers?"

Nero turned his head suddenly. In the crack of the demon world on the surface of the small hell gate, a purple passage was quietly running. And in the same passage, several toad demons that looked almost the same as Baal were rushing over!
Nero was shocked and shouted, "Li You! There are many more toads coming!"

Li You immediately responded: "I'll go hold them off for a while, you quickly shut down and stop the operation of this stone tablet!"

"no problem!"

The two men immediately rushed forward. Nero's target was a small device on the side of the stone tablet, which was emitting a faint light.

Based on the experience gained from Belial's small hell gate, that is the switch of this stone tablet.

As for Li You, he quickly came to the cracked passage to the demon world on the stone tablet, stretched out his hand, and grabbed the soul pendant around his neck.

“Come try this!”

The source of the soul, start!
He raised the soul pendant high, and after charging up energy, a torrent of blue-green soul mixed with white flashes surged out!

The soul torrent, like a tidal wave, shot directly into the passage to the demon world on the gate of the small hell, covering all the demons of the same clan as Baal that were rushing to the human world in the passage!

The group of demons were washed by the torrent of souls and couldn't help but scream and roar, but Li You had no intention of stopping.

After all, I have 15 seconds of infinite magic power, how can I just give up like this!

But Nero naturally didn't know all this. He just wanted to prevent Li You from bearing such great pressure alone, so he came to the stone tablet as quickly as possible and pressed the power off button.

The magic twist of the small hell gate was interrupted, and the demon world passage on the stone tablet was also closed. Seeing this, Li You naturally stopped releasing the soul torrent.

Watching Li You put away the pendant, Nero was surprised: "How many other things do you know?"

Li You just smiled and said, "As a wandering demon hunter, I have to learn a little bit of everything. It's always good to have more skills."

Nero thought for a moment, "You have a point..."

Li You stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't think too much! The leader demon has been dealt with, let's find the assassin quickly!"

Nero immediately perked up: "You're right! Find that guy quickly, I want to go to the headquarters to see Jillie!"
