Survival in the game world begins with Biochemical 2

Chapter 478 "Demon" becomes three?
Underground laboratory.

After Nero walked out of the ventilation shaft, he came to a large semicircular metal tunnel.

The tunnel was quite spacious and open, and even a huge body like the demon Belial could pass through it smoothly, but there was a heavy valve blocking the way ahead.

"It seems quite solid..."

Nero knocked on the valve with the Scarlet Queen, then jumped up and kicked it hard, but the valve only made a dull echo and hardly moved at all.

"Then melt it."

Even in the original game, Nero's personality is very reckless, and in this world, after spending more than a month with Li You, he has been infected with some of Li's ways of thinking.

Simply put, we become more reckless when thinking about solutions to problems.

So at this time, Nero summoned Belial, intending to use his high temperature to melt the valve blocking the way. Of course, there was no need to completely melt such a large piece of iron, just to open a hole large enough for him to pass through.

But just when he was about to add some strength to the valve, suddenly a few sharp blades flashed on the valve!
With just a few rustling sounds, the sturdy metal valve was instantly cut into several pieces of different sizes!
Nero was also startled. Seeing the valve fragments falling towards him, even mixed with the strange flash from before, he quickly did a series of backflips and avoided them from a distance.

The valve fragments fell to the ground with a heavy thud, and among them, Nero caught a glimpse of several swordfish-like demonic creatures with exaggerated sharp blades on their backs.

These demons could actually drill into the ground, and seemed to be using magic to swim back and forth between the ground and the walls. The sharp blades behind them emerged from the "water" like a shark's dorsal fin and quickly attacked him!
One can imagine how powerful these swordfish devil blades are, as they can cut through the hard metal valve effortlessly. Nero definitely doesn't want to be touched by them.

So he watched the demons' comings, dodged flexibly, and shuttled among the sharp blades, yet remained unharmed.

But it is also difficult to fight back, because those swordfish demons can not only dive into the ground, but also ignore gravity and swim along the walls, making them very difficult to catch.

Nero tried to shoot with the Azure Rose, but to little effect. This demon's way of moving was doomed, and the Azure Rose's double-bullet shooting method had little effect on them.

"——What about this?"

Seeing that ordinary bullets were useless, Nero had an idea and began to mobilize the magic power in his body and injected it into the bullets of the Azure Rose.

"boom--!!"

He pulled the trigger again, and the bullet wrapped in magic flew out and accurately hit a swordfish demon.

But this time the bullet did not shatter or penetrate, but attached to the demon, and Nero counted silently: "1, 2, 3!!"

"Bang bang——!!"

As he finished the countdown, the bullets that had been shot into the swordfish demon's body exploded, blowing the demon into pieces and sending it flying out from the ground.

Nero naturally couldn't miss this opportunity, he raised the Crimson Queen and rushed forward. He turned the accelerator, and the Crimson Queen spewed out flames, and with Nero's movement, he swung out a spinning uppercut!
"go to hell--!"

The swordfish demon that was blown out could not withstand such destruction and was taken away by Nero's combo, and its body was cut into large pieces.

Nero then landed on the ground. The Scarlet Queen was still a little hot from the previous slash, but the remaining swordfish demons had already swam around!

Nero was too lazy to waste time. He put down the Crimson Queen, took out Belial, and stabbed the sword into the floor with his backhand!
As high heat radiated from the sword, the metal-paved ground was quickly melted, and the molten iron gradually spread forward.

Even though the swordfish demons could move between the ground, walls and even the ceiling, they were caught off guard by the sudden high-temperature molten iron and jumped out from the ground one after another.

Needless to say, what greeted them was Nero's greatsword!

"—I don't like fishing, so bye!"

Soon, Nero cleared all the demons. He carried the Scarlet Queen and continued walking deeper along the U-shaped passage in front of him.

……

The courtyard of Fortuna Castle, the fighting arena.

The harsh sound of metal clashing echoed in the fighting arena, and sparks could be seen from time to time, but if it were an ordinary person, they would probably only be able to see this much and would hardly be able to spot the two figures flashing quickly in the arena.

Li You and Dante are fighting, and they are almost at their full strength - at least Li You has used all his strength in human form.

As for Dante...

“Ding ding ding——!!”

I don’t know how many times the lightning moon shadow and the rebellious sword have intersected!
Lei Guang Yueying had used a wedge-shaped stone disc to strengthen his sword, and Li You had also infused his energy and magic power into the sword. However, Rebellion itself was a powerful magic sword, and when the two fought, there was no clear winner between the two.

"Qiang——!!"

Another collision, Li You and Dante each retreated several steps and temporarily kept some distance between them.

Li You stood with a knife in his hand, breathing heavily, while Dante's chest also rose and fell much faster.

However, there was an excited look on his face.

“Ha, ha… I knew I was right about you!” Dante laughed heartily. “After coming here, you’re the only one who can make me feel threatened!”

"But I didn't expect you to use this kind of knife!"

Li Youze exhaled slowly: "I have said before that I don't want to be hostile to you, why do you have to fight?"

Dante smiled when he heard this and said, "You really figured out her identity, didn't you?"

Li You shook his head, but did not deny it: "This is not a reason for you to fight me, right?"

Dante's smile did not fade. "Indeed! In fact, I just heard that she wanted to test your true face, but you defeated her easily. She is one of the most difficult women in the world. You can defeat her so easily. You are definitely worth paying attention to!"

"Oh, by the way, you seemed to have said at that time that if I wanted to see your true face, I had to be strong enough?"

He spread his hands and said, "Since you said so, I'll just come over and give it a try."

Li You: "......"

As expected of you, you really do whatever you want.

But he also knew that although Dante sounded like he was joking, he was actually serious. If he didn't show his real ability, he would have no chance of passing the test in front of him.

So Li You slowly adjusted his breathing and turned the knife in his hand slightly. In addition to the energy and magic power, the third power hidden in his body also began to surge gradually.

Dante on the other side immediately sensed something: "Oh? That's..."

As the divine power was mobilized, an inexplicable aura gradually emanated from Li You, and golden lightning flashed on the knife in his hand!

In fact, now, Li You can use two kinds of lightning power, in addition to the lightning of the cherry dragon summoned by divine power, there is also the lightning power released by the miracle in the dark soul. Both kinds of lightning are golden, and the nature of their power is somewhat similar.

However, after all, Li You's Sakura Dragon Thunder was directly born from divine power, and was stronger than Miracle Thunder in all aspects. In comparison, the advantage of Miracle Thunder was that it only needed to consume magic power.

Miracle Thunder is completely sufficient to deal with ordinary enemies, including the previous fight against the disguised Tracy. If Li You used Miracle Thunder, the effect would be exactly the same.

But on the one hand, miracle is ultimately a spell passed down by others, so it has a relatively poor degree of freedom and requires a catalyst for casting; on the other hand, the Sakura Dragon Thunder is also more convenient to mobilize, so when the consumption is small, Li You prefers to use the Sakura Dragon Thunder.

Of course, the current situation was to deal with Dante, and Li You had no room to hide his weaknesses. The most he could do was to try not to change his form before Dante.

“Huh——?”

Dante looked at the golden lightning on Li You's sword and was amazed. With his eyesight, he could see that Li You was not using the power of the devil at all.

What could this mysterious force be? Dante was very curious.

And he would not be careless. Although he would occasionally get sick and have fun by deliberately enduring the enemy's attacks, the aura emanating from Li You was enough for him to take it seriously.

Li Youze tightly grasped the Thunder Moon Shadow, and then...he swung the knife fiercely, and a green arc shot out, with golden light flashing on the arc, and an invisible airflow behind it!
Dragon Flash Moonlight Blade, superimposed with Sakura Dragon Thunder!

Dante's eyes lit up, and the Rebellious Greatsword was immediately switched to being held upside down. Dark red magic power condensed on the sword, and then as he raised his hand, it turned into sword energy and shot out!

"ha--!!"

The dark red magic sword light collided with Li You's Dragon Flash Moonlight Blade, offsetting some of the power. However, Dante's move was a bit hasty after all, and he failed to block Li You's attack.

But Dante let out a strange cry, and then waved his rebellion again!
Two more dark red sword lights shot out, still looking relatively thin, but when combined with the first one, they finally shattered Li You's green light blade!
However, the Sakura Dragon Thunder condensed on the Moonlight Blade and the Air Blade that followed were stimulated and exploded immediately. For a moment, even Dante could only see the flashing golden light and snowflakes blown up by the air flow, and nothing else.

"...Hmm! Was the attack just now also intended to deceive people?"

Although he guessed Li You's thoughts, Dante was not panicked. He even casually carried the rebellion on his shoulders, looking very cool.

"So, where will the next attack come from?"

Dante tried to listen, but quickly gave up.

"I can't hear anything! That guy is really good at hiding his tracks! But..."

The next moment, he suddenly turned sideways, swung the rebellious sword, and pointed out quickly!
"clang!!"

At this moment, the blade of Lei Guang Yue Ying seemed to emerge from the invisible and collided with the tip of the rebellious sword. The power of the two collided and exploded, emitting a dazzling flash.

Dante took two steps back, and Li You's figure also emerged, staggering slightly.

He frowned slightly: "Did you find out all this?" Dante continued to smile: "You really hid the sound of your actions very well, didn't you? Unfortunately, before you took action, you couldn't suppress your magic power, so I noticed it."

"I see."

Although they were fighting with almost no chance of survival, the conversation between the two was very peaceful. If you didn't look at the scene, it would even feel like a chat between friends.

Li You did not launch another attack, but instead pulled away a little. He looked at Dante and said, "It seems that a small fight really won't satisfy you. You must see something that interests you before you give up."

Dante laughed twice. "After all, this commission is pretty boring! An old man dreams of ruling the world and messes around with his mad scientists... I'm tired of this kind of script!"

"I can't hold on if I don't find something interesting to do to relieve my boredom!"

Li You nodded: "I understand. If that's the case, then it's just right. I have always wanted to ask you for advice. Now might be the chance."

"...Oh?" Dante looked at him with interest.

Li You did not lie. After all, ever since he knew he was going to the Devil May Cry world, he had been wondering if he could learn from Dante and learn how he used his demonic power so freely.
The dragon form he obtained in the Dark Souls world is mixed with too many things, and it is not the same as the little dragon in the original game. Therefore, it is particularly difficult to control. If he can learn something from Dante, it will be very helpful to him.

So Li You stood still, put the Thunder Moon Shadow into the sheath, hung it back around his waist, and drew out the Spiral Sword with his backhand.

"Hmm? Are you going to use this one again?" Dante looked at him. "What exactly is your weapon?"

Li You smiled and said, "I have used many weapons, but this knife is the best one. But don't you want me to use my full strength? In that state, this weapon is more suitable."

Although relatively speaking, the most suitable weapon is actually the Blood Undying Slash in the backpack, it is obviously not suitable for use against Dante.

So Li You just held the spiral sword tightly, and then the Sakura Dragon Divine Crystal in his body began to stir according to his will!
"Huh!?" Dante also noticed it immediately, and his eyes looking at Li You became different.

"This power...it seems like I have no room to hide my weakness!"

The two looked at each other again, and then smiled knowingly again.

Li You suddenly raised his left hand, with a deep red flame burning in the palm of his hand. Then he crushed it, and the flame immediately enveloped his whole body!
He waved his hand again to disperse the flames all over his body, and his entire body was transformed into a dragon with four wings on his back!
In contrast, Dante's movements were much simpler. He just raised his head slightly, a flash of red lightning flashed, and the whole person turned into a crimson demon form.

In comparison, Dante's demon form looks a bit plainer, more like a humanoid demon wearing a dark red windbreaker and a hideous mask.

Of course, the so-called "windbreaker" is actually a pair of Dante's wings, which can be spread out and fly when necessary.

Li You's dragon-man appearance is much more exaggerated. Not to mention the two pairs of dragon wings, one large and one small, behind his back, his head has completely transformed into a dragon head, with much less human posture remaining.

But at least from the perspective of aura, the two were evenly matched for the moment.

"Ohh! This is...!" Dante was quite excited as he watched Li You's transformation. "I finally got to see it, and it's exactly as I felt. It's a different power from the devil's power!"

"So, what level of power is there?"

Li You also spoke, a buzzing sound coming out of his mouth: "Try it... and you will know."

As he spoke, he flapped the four wings behind him vigorously, lifting him into the air. A gust of burning wind blew in all directions following his movements!
As the burning wind passed, the ice and snow melted, and all traces left by the demon Baal were wiped out.

However, the burning wind swept over Dante, but he did not react at all, and only said:
"Well said!"

Dante once again raised the Sword of Rebellion, and deep red magic began to glow on the sword. In addition to the already exaggerated size of the Sword of Rebellion, a circle of invisible blades was attached.

Li Youze raised his hand, and the spiral sword changed again in his hand, gradually lengthening and bending, and finally turned into a large curved sword with a long and thick blade.

The form in which the Spiral Sword can best exert its power is undoubtedly the Greatsword, but unfortunately it has not been unlocked yet, so the Great Curved Sword is also a good choice.

At this time, Li You's own flame and the flame on the spiral sword began to merge with each other, and finally almost assimilated into one, and the power increased again.

This unexpected yet reasonable increase is also the reason why Li You chose the Spiral Sword when he was restricted from using the Blood Immortal Slash.

The two men confronted each other in silence, and then the next moment, their figures disappeared again!
"boom--!!"

The two men, who were no longer in human form, collided again. This time, what came out from the clashing of swords was no longer the sound of metal striking metal, but a series of endless explosions!

With all his strength, Li You's power has already surpassed the ordinary. Even in the world of the universe, he is definitely a strong man, not to mention Dante. Therefore, such a fight is naturally unimaginable for ordinary people.

There were still some moves exchanged between them, but most of them were the simplest attacks. The terrifying thing was the magic or divine power attached to their every move.

With a bang, the rebellious sword and the spiral sword intersected and stalemated. Li You and Dante almost collided with each other. They could clearly see each other's faces so close!
"Boom——"

There was another explosion, and the force of the two weapons collided to the limit, knocking the two people away. Li You and Dante both flapped their wings to slow down their speed and landed steadily.

"Really... you keep surprising me!" Although his expression is not very clear after he turned into a demon, one can tell from Dante's voice that he seems to be really happy.

“This trip was really not in vain!”

Li Youze looked at his remaining divine power and said, "Let's fight quickly. I can't hold out for too long in this form."

Of course, he wouldn't collapse in just a short while, but for future considerations, it was obviously necessary to conserve more divine power.

Anyway, Dante should have achieved his goal.

"Ah, okay." As Li You expected, Dante did not refuse. "Then use the next move to end it grandly!"

As he spoke, Dante grabbed Rebellion with both hands, raised it to his side, and pointed the tip of the sword at Li You.

Li You changed the posture of the spiral sword again, turning it into a heavy spear, and also made a stabbing posture.

The two did not communicate further, but simply gathered their magic power, divine power, and all the power they could mobilize into the weapons in their hands!

Then, the two men, who had already gathered their strength, rushed towards each other at full speed at the same time! When they collided, a terrifying storm was set off in the fighting arena!

"Boom!"

However, just before the two sides were about to collide with all their might, suddenly a strange breath and an inexplicable wave came from deep underground under the feet of the two men, and they were caught by them at the same time!
Li You was not affected at all except for being a little surprised. However, Dante on the opposite side was shocked all over, and even the flow of magic power was delayed for an imperceptible moment!
And at this moment, the two of them just bumped into each other!
"boom--!!"

Li You and Dante were thrown into the air at the same time again, but this time, both of them cancelled their transformations into dragon men and demon men in mid-air, returning to their original appearances, and then fell heavily to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

Judging from the result, it seems to be a draw.

But Li You knew very well that if Dante had not been distracted just now, he would definitely be the one who lost in the end, and it would not be the current situation where both sides were injured.

So what happened just now was...?
Combining his familiarity with the original game plot, Li You had a guess. He stood up and looked at Dante across from him: "Could it be..."

Dante also managed to raise his head from the ground, looked at Li You, and said, "Ah, that's right. It was that little brat... He really did something interesting."

"In that case..." Li You sat up with all his strength, "Then you should have the answer to what I said before, right?"

"Yes, yes." Dante lay back down again, "The facts are in front of me. I can't deny it even if I want to."

"It seems that the little devil is really my brother's..."

"Crack-!!"

As the two were talking, suddenly there was a sound of thunder in the sky, and two thin streaks of lightning fell quickly, hitting the second-floor passage on both sides of the fighting arena.

Then, two powerful demons appeared on the platforms on both sides. They seemed to be a mixture of different species, with the bodies of wild beasts and some features of insects, and exuding an aura of power from head to toe.

They searched around, sniffed, listened, and then jumped down from the platform at the same time, landed in the fighting arena, and approached Li You and Dante.

"Why are they..."

Li You recognized this kind of demon, they were called "Blitz", and like "Strike Demon Soldier" and "Frost", they were all elite demon soldiers created by the Demon Emperor. Because Blitz could use the power of thunder and lightning, they were commonly known as thunder beasts, and they were relatively difficult elite enemies that only appeared in the later stages of the game.

"You really know how to pick the right time!" Dante beside him also sat up, wiped his nose, and looked at Li You, "Can you still fight?"

Li You smiled: "Of course, just in case, I have reserved some magic power."

"Oh? So you're a strategist, not bad!" Dante perked up a little, using Rebellion as a crutch to climb up, "Then be more alert... let's go!"

——At the same time, deep in the underground laboratory.

Nero was holding a Japanese-style magic sword with a white rope wrapped around the handle, stumbling step by step. His eyes were bloodshot, his clothes were tattered, his expression was dazed, and a huge demon shadow appeared behind him!

The shadow was blue-green in color overall and seemed to have no substance. It just followed Nero's movements completely, as if they were one.

Not far across from Nero, a monster shaped like a fly man was staring at him. Although his expression could not be seen, he successfully expressed his complete panic through his body language.

"This, this, this, this is impossible! Why can you, why can you..."

Nero's response to this was almost just one sentence:

"Power...Give me more power!"

“Ahhhh——!!”
