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

Although he had shown interest in both Li You and Nero before, Ding now looked like he didn't want to talk to him.

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

Dante said and gave instructions: "I don't want to be late, otherwise I will be read by her again... so let's talk next time!"

Then, Dante fell backwards very gracefully, and his whole body fell downstairs!

At this moment, Li You shouted: "This matter has something to do with Virgil!"

"call out--"

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

Dante clearly used the power of the devil in this flash, so fast that Li You could barely react, and he couldn't help but become more vigilant.

But compared to the dangerous look Dante had given him when he returned, what he asked surprised Li You even more.

"Wait, you already know?"

Although there was surprise in Dante's eyes, it was not much, and it was obviously focused on himself. Based on his previous questioning, Li You immediately realized that Dante seemed to already know something.

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

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

This momentum has almost caught up with the sense of oppression brought by the salary kings, and this is obviously far from Dante's full strength.

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

Seeing that his expression didn't change at all, Dante was a little surprised: "You guy...what is your background?"

Li You smiled: "You can think of me as a demon hunter from a distant place. Can you listen to me now?"

Dante listened, squinted his eyes and looked at him, and then... suddenly pulled out the rebellious sword!

"Shua!!"

Li You: "!!"

"clang--!"

The rebellious sword fell instantly, and before the blade cut his head in half, Li You pulled out the long threaded stick and blocked the blow without even a moment's notice!

Dante's pupils dilated a little: "Oh?"

The two of them pushed each other hard and bounced away from each other. Dante held the big sword and said with a smile: "Originally I just wanted to test your background and didn't plan to actually do it, but..."

"You were able to take that sword. It's hard to call yourself a human, isn't it?"

He looked over closely: "So, which side are you on?"

Li You stood with a long stick in hand, frowning slightly and saying nothing.

"If you don't want to reply, then..." Dante said, suddenly he turned into an afterimage and stabbed him with a sword! This thrust was much faster and more violent than the previous one against Credo!

Although he still couldn't figure out whether Dante was serious or just testing, the strength could not be faked. Li You simply put aside any chance, held the long stick with both hands, and swung it with all his strength!

"clang--!!"

The sword and the long stick intersect, and their magic powers are intertwined and trying to repel each other. Li You was pushed back by the impact, but Dante refused to retreat and instead advanced, and the rebellious sword continued to thrust forward!

Li You suddenly opened his eyes wide, energy flowed through his body, and his speed also increased. He raised the long stick in his hand and pointed at the rebellious sword tip!

At this moment, the front end of the long threaded stick protruded from the front of a simple spear, with crimson fire flashing on it, and it collided with the rebellious sword without giving in!

"Boom——"

This time it was not the crisp sound of metal collision, but the roar of magic bursting. Not only Li You, but also Dante was blown back for a moment.

When the impact finally dissipated, the two of them stood opposite each other on the roof of the building, one carrying a sword and the other carrying a gun, both of whom looked unscathed.

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

There is nothing that can be done about it. Li You's strength is indeed different from what it used to be, but if limited to the human form, the power he can exert is still too little.

Dante is different. Even if he is not transformed into a demon, his half-demon body is much stronger than ordinary people. He is also very proficient in the use of demonic power and can easily do it.

In addition, Li You is not using the weapon he is most accustomed to, so it is normal to suffer some losses.

In fact, from an objective point of view, the combat power level of Nero and the Demon Sword Order in the fourth generation is relatively low in the entire Devil May Cry series. If nothing else, Dante's coming to the fourth generation is basically like going shopping. So relaxing as a vacation.

If Li You remembers correctly, in the official plot setting of the fourth generation, Dante seems to have only used the demon transformation once in the whole process. It was for convenience and other reasons, rather than being invincible without becoming a demon.

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

"...Do we still want to fight?" The two faced off for a moment before 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 and specious feeling. I thought I was mistaken before and encountered that kind of devil who is particularly good at disguise."

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

Li You also breathed a sigh of relief. He really didn't want to get serious with Dante unless necessary.

"Can you listen to me now?"

Dante looked at the clock tower in the distance. The hands of the clock tower had just turned one small grid. Seeing this, he sighed exaggeratedly: "Well, I'm already late anyway. She will definitely read it. It's okay to wait a little longer."

"...Tell me, what's the matter with you?"

——A moment later.

"...Is there such a thing?"

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

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

Of course Li You was sure, but he didn't say that. He just replied: "The feeling of the power in his body is very similar to yours. Did you notice it when we were in contact before?"

Dante frowned slightly but did not speak.

"It does feel familiar... It's strange. Could it be my brother's? Or maybe it's my father's illegitimate son..."

He thought, murmuring under his breath.

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

From the focus of his attention, Li You also judged that Dante indeed knew that the Yan Demon Sword was in the hands of the cult. Li You thought about it for a while and then roughly guessed what happened: "It seems that Tracy told him."

Trish, a blonde demon hunter and Dante's partner. In the plot, in order to detect intelligence, she sneaked into the cult first - the time seemed to be around the time when Nero awakened the devil's hand.

If she discovered the En Demon Sword and told Dante, it would make sense.

So Li You nodded and said: "With the sect's technology, it should be impossible to repair the Yama Sword. So if you want to recycle it, I'm afraid you can only get a broken sword."

"It doesn't matter if you continue, the meaning of the thing itself is more important." Dante spread his hands, and then looked at him again, "You know so much, plus that strange power... even if it's not The devil can’t be an ordinary devil hunter, right?”

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

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

He immediately stood up from the edge of the roof: "Okay, I'll leave first. Those things you told me...well, I will 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 cult's hand was broken, he also simply explained his purpose - he wanted to train Nero. Lu, and the conspiracy to crush the Order.

The reason is also very simple. Dante originally came for the Demon Sword Order, and after knowing that Nero and himself were probably related by blood, it was even more impossible to leave him alone. So from these two perspectives, Dante is Li You's natural ally, so there is no need to hide much.

Of course, Dante was also curious about the reasons why Li You did these things, but Li You only said that it was personal factors, so he didn't bother to ask.

It's the same now. Although Dante tried to remember what he said, Li You estimated that he had almost forgotten what he said.

Dante had this kind of character, so 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 know, it really doesn't look like it now. Then let's just leave each other alone. See you later."

After saying that, he flew away between the rooftops. Seeing the dark red figure disappearing in the distance, Li You could only say: As expected of you!

In fact, when he was the first to chase after Dante, his idea was to exchange for a certain degree of tacit understanding with Dante using two pieces of information that were actually free of charge: "The Order owns the Yama Sword" and "Nero has Spartan blood." , and even his support.

However, he did not expect that Dante had known about the Yan Demon Sword for a long time, and Li You could only reveal further information.

Fortunately, the result was good, and his most basic goal was achieved, so that when he carries out his own plan later, he should not have a head-on conflict with Dante.

Then, it’s time to go back to find Nero.

——Don’t forget, although thwarting the sect’s conspiracy 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 sect's conspiracy will be difficult to succeed no matter what. So Li You definitely chose to stay with Nero.

What's more, he doesn't intend to let go of the achievement rewards from the demon BOSS along the way.

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

Theater entrance.

Nero and V worked together to successfully eliminate the demons who wanted to break through the door. V had already asked Li You's Merrimack to turn around and block the entrance to the theater. With the fire coverage and the cooperation of the two, the scarecrow demons were unable to cross the line.

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

At the same time, although the two blocked the door, there were still demons emerging from the magic circle inside the theater square. It was the task of the knights of the Order led by Credo to deal with them.

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

Credo did not think about taking the people to the headquarters of the Order for refuge, as in the game, but there were demons on the way there, so they had to stay there for the time being.

And despite the strong support of V driving the Merrimack, the besieged members of the Order gradually fell into trouble.

The Pope was shot in public, which was enough to hit them. Now they have to fight and take care of civilians at the same time, which is too stressful. If these knights were not elite and Credo had enough command power, I am afraid they would have fled with the panicked people.

In the process of beheading the demons, V couldn't help but frown. There were too many scarecrows, even if they were not strong individually, the continuous offensive was still very troublesome.

She, Nero, and Credo could hold on, but the ordinary knights of the Order could not. If they continued like this, there would definitely be omissions, and then it would be inevitable that combatants and even civilians would be injured.

Perhaps, it was time to consider breaking out.

But at this moment, V's eyes suddenly flashed and she looked at 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, constantly leaping between the neatly arranged small buildings with the help of a grappling hook, and rushing towards them quickly.

"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 it was. Li You used the pulling force of the grappling hook and the switching 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 gestured from a distance, so Li You flipped his hand, took out several skulls wrapped in white smoke from his backpack, and waved his hand to throw them onto the street!

Enemy-luring skulls!

The skull, which was a little blue because of the soul, broke into pieces and scattered everywhere after it came into contact with the masonry 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 also knew that this was a rare opportunity. So under her control, all the heavy firepower hidden in the Merrimack under her body came on the scene, especially the micro-missile nest that came out from the rear compartment, which was activated at the first time, launching micro-missiles one by one, covering the group of lower-level demons gathered together!

"Boom--!!"

After the violent explosion and dazzling flames, the scarecrow demons that were originally piled up into a small hill have almost disappeared, leaving only a few remnants in the corners.

So many were cleared at once, even the seemingly endless lower-level demons did not appear immediately.

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

Now, at least for a while, there will be no more large numbers of demons.

Li You returned to Nero and others with a long stick and said, "I didn't catch up with the assassin, and let him run away."

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

"- No!" Before Li You answered, a majestic voice came from the side, it was Credo.

He came to the two of them: "You can only go to hunt down the assassin, Nero."

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

But Credo just shook his head at her gently.

Nero also didn't understand: "Why? The first priority now is to catch the assassin and stop the demon. 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!"
