"That... bastard..."

Nero, who got up from the hospital bed, suffocated his stomach at this moment.

"Although it shows an incomplete posture, it is comparable to Yuri Zeng in terms of magic power. Well, no, not only that, the residual breath of Mendes has changed a lot from the past, as if it has merged with something , From this point of view, the threat level alone may be higher than Yuri Zeng. You can exchange half your life for his hand. To be honest, it is already very powerful. Let me first say that I don’t mean to mock you, this is mine Seriously, Nero."

After roughly investigating the traces of the battle between the two sides, Dante, who came to a conclusion, said to Nero very seriously.

"Mondes..."

Virgil, who was sitting in the corner, just whispered to himself with a gloomy expression at this moment.

Dante and Virgil had already gone deep into the ground, and they were ready to rush to the ruins in one breath, but the breath of Mendes came from above, and the two realized that something was wrong and hurried back.In the end, it was instinctively sensing some unusual development. Virgil drew his sword and directly cut a space gap, and then arrived at the battlefield between Nero Jiang Ming and Mendes in an instant, thus avoiding the danger of excessive casualties at the critical moment. Appear.

If the previous atmosphere was still as casual as an outing, then the expressions of Dante and Virgil have become extremely serious now.

The Devil Emperor Mendes, who has been entangled with the fate of the Spartan family for many years, this enemy who was originally sealed by Sparta and later severely injured and sealed by Dante reappeared, which means that he must be serious and face the face with all his strength. to this battle.

"I just let you go out for less than three days, and you made yourself like this?!"

Nicole's voice sounded from outside the temporary tent, and the weapon master, who was marching along with the large army, hurried to the tent where Nero was. It's impossible to hide the relieved look.

"I'm definitely going to get it back, but let's not talk about it, the Scarlet Queen is broken again, can you fix it as soon as possible?"

Nero, who was sitting on the bed, scratched his head, and pointed to the half of the big sword beside the bed.

"Why did you break it again? Well, this time the employer has brought enough things, and it will definitely be fine to repair it temporarily. But, your way of using the sword as a hammer to hit the devil, to be honest, this temporary I really don't know if it can be repaired or not."

Nicole, who confirmed that Nero did not relax afterwards, lit a cigarette, and said very rudely while smoking.

"Probably it works, I'm going to tear that bastard who offended me into pieces."

Taking a deep breath, Nero's eyes seemed to be burning with fire at this moment.

Temporary repairs are not enough. In this case, I may be able to help. Well, I just don’t know if the refining of magic weapons and the production of magic tools have anything in common.

Jiang Ming thought for a while, and was about to say something, when Virgil in the corner suddenly stood up.

"You can't go, it's not your fight."

Virgil's indifferent voice clearly reached everyone's ears at this moment.

"It's over..."

Dante covered his face, turned his head and walked out of the tent directly.

"I can not go?"

He raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he heard something very annoying, at this moment Nero clenched his hands tightly.

"Mundes is the real culprit who murdered me and Dante's mother. The only ones who can fight him are me and Dante. Nero, this is not your battle."

Slowly stepping forward, Virgil stood in front of Nero.

Hey, this atmosphere seems to be about to quarrel.

Jiang Ming sensed something was wrong at this moment, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Your mother, that is, my grandma, if my son can take revenge, why can't my grandson take revenge, and this bastard just smashed my weapon. Do you want to tell me and let it go? Or do you want to tell me?" Does it mean something else?"

Nero, who was holding back his fire, gritted his teeth and asked.

"You can't beat him, that's the truth, I can't let you die."

There is no unexpected answer. The reason why Dante left without hesitation is because he knew what Virgil would say and how Nero would react.

Boom!

A violent wind blew up at this moment, and the furious Nero punched Virgil directly.But the next moment, in the scattered wind, Virgil caught the punch firmly, and the blue magic power flowed at this moment, followed by Virgil's sudden pull on Nero, causing the opponent to stagger forward, Then Virgil's knee hit Nero's abdomen heavily, and the huge force made Nero's body fly into the air, but he couldn't really fly because his arms were pulled.

"Uh poof—"

The too violent and relentless attack made Nero spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Virgil!"

Never expected that the two sides would start such a brutal battle, Jiang Ming immediately stepped forward to stop it, but Virgil's other hand held the scabbard behind him, and hit Jiang Ming directly at an extremely fast speed.Jiang Ming, who only had time to stretch out his hands to defend, took two steps back from the blow and almost hit the tent.And almost at the same time, Virgil, who grabbed Nero's arm, directly pulled the opponent's whole body up, and then fell heavily on the ground.

boom -

In the sound of the explosion, Nero's whole body was directly embedded on the ground, and the flying gravel was flying everywhere.

"If you want revenge and destroy the enemy, you need a strong enough force."

Looking down at the smashed Nero, who was baring his teeth and unable to exert himself, Virgil spoke slowly.

"Your strength is indeed getting stronger, I admit it, but it's too weak, and it's too weak compared to Mendes."

"The only ones who are qualified to stand on that battlefield are me and Dante. This is the reality. Trying to challenge the strong without strength and self-sufficiency is a very heavy price. I have paid a lot for this." I will not give you a chance to retrace my path at the cost of years."

"If you feel painful and unwilling, just sharpen yourself. This is the only thing you can do now."

The cold words seemed to contain no trace of emotion.

But Jiang Ming can clearly feel the forbearing emotions in Virgil's eyes, those emotions that he is unwilling to show in front of his children no matter what, Jiang Ming can be sure that Virgil, who is indifferent at the moment, is by no means as calm as it is.

Speaking of which, Dante mentioned that Virgil once challenged Mondes and was defeated, and was tortured for many years...

Is it because of this reason that Nero is unwilling to face such an enemy?

Jiang Ming showed a complicated expression. At this moment, he really didn't know what he could do.

"Fuck you... lord!"

The violent magic power emerges at this moment.

Nero, who was already irritable, showed his demonic power without hesitation at this moment. He suddenly transformed into a blue humanoid demon, with illusory wings spreading behind him, roaring as he was about to soar into the sky, killing Virgil Knocked over.

boom -

The next moment, Virgil, who instantly transformed into a true devil, punched Nero directly on the forehead with the magic tool Beowulf.For a moment, Jiang Ming felt as if he heard the sound of cracking bones, and Nero, who was about to get violent, was beaten to the ground again at this moment, gasping for breath with blood on his head.

The blow just now was not a simple attack. The magic power released by Virgil in an instant poured into Nero's body, causing great damage to his body.At this moment, Nero is not only unable to transform into a demon, he doesn't even have the strength to stand up. He has to wait for his body to slowly eliminate these abnormal magic powers, and then heal the meridians and bones of his body that were interrupted by Virgil's power.The great pain made Nero's expression extremely distorted, but even so, he still stared at Virgil, his eyes seemed to spew fire.

"You, like Dante...do you think I'm a burden?"

In the end, Nero just spit out such a sentence.

"No, I...it doesn't matter anymore, I will finish everything before you recover and catch up with us..."

Facing Nero's expression, Virgil just shook his head slightly after being silent for a long time, unwilling to say anything more.

Turning his head, Virgil looked at Jiang Ming with a little apology. Jiang Ming shook his head to express that he didn't care about the blow just now, and immediately hinted that the opponent should move to deal with the enemy immediately, and he would take care of this side. Virgil then nodded , turned around and left without looking back.

"Asshole! Come back to me!"

Nero, who clenched his fists, was still roaring loudly when he was helped up by Nicole.

"Stop yelling, he's already gone far away. Speaking of which, your father's aura is too scary. It's not in the same style as Dante at all. I was so scared that I couldn't speak."

Nicole sighed and said with lingering fear.

"That bastard, bastard! Damn it, why am I so..."

He lowered his head weakly, his anger finally turned into helplessness, Nero could only clenched his hands tightly, unable to continue to say anything.

"Virgil doesn't think you are a burden, he won't treat you like that."

After hesitating for a long time, Jiang Ming looked at Nero and said.

"Then why is he?"

Nero raised his head and asked aloud. From his expression, Jiang Ming knew that this big boy actually knew the answer.But since he chose to ask, Jiang Ming could only sigh and say that sentence.

"Because he doesn't want to lose you as a family member and relative."

Chapter 220 Two: Those who go forward bravely and those who stumble

The advancing troops of the containment and control center landed at this moment and converged in this huge underground cavity.

Mondes almost took out a city-sized space from the underground area, and the staff of the containment control center simply used this place to reinforce it to prevent a second collapse, and directly established a temporary base.In less than half an hour, a large area of ​​tents was set up, and the rest area, medical area, and dining area were divided one by one. More and more mercenaries and assault teams came here to rest after completing certain tasks.

Nero, who was healed from his injuries, was sitting on the outskirts of the tent area, among a pile of collapsed rubble.At this moment, this young man with a short cropped hair looked gloomy, and from time to time picked up a small stone, crushed it in his hand, and then flung it far away.

"Fuck!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Nero suddenly cursed in a low voice.

"You ran here."

Jiang Ming's voice sounded far away.

Looking back, Nero saw Jiang Ming carrying a big box, standing on the ground not far away with a helpless expression on his face.Seeing Nero turn his head, Jiang Ming directly threw the box in his hand up, and Nero subconsciously reached out to catch it.

click-

Inside the opened box was a brand new Crimson Queen.

"How could it be done so quickly?"

Nero was a little surprised. It has only been about half a day since he was injured and the weapon was damaged. It is not an easy task to repair this complicated weapon in such a short period of time, especially when the sword itself has been damaged. broken into several pieces.

"After all, I still have a bit of face in the containment control center. They established a temporary time acceleration position here. Ms. Nicole and I got the priority to use it, and we were busy in it for about two days. Right. The material for repairing the sword is the piece of impact steel that Virgil gave you before. In addition, several technicians at the containment control center are very skilled. They have further optimized the engine of this sword, and you will know it after trying it. .”

Jiang Ming, who was standing below, watched Nero take out the big sword, and spoke as gently as possible.

But despite this, Nero's face darkened immediately when he heard Virgil's name.

hum-

Holding the hilt of the sword and pressing the engine, the roaring sound burst out along with the heat and flames. Nero waved the big sword in his hand without saying a word, and a flame was released with his swing, drawing a line in mid-air. Blinding light marks.

"The newly modified internal combustion engine has 5 gears, and the gear setting can be freely controlled through the engine, so as to precisely control the released force and lethality. The impact steel of the demon material has a magic absorption and release structure inside, which can It absorbs more magic and releases it, and it is far stronger than before."

Jiang Ming gave a simple explanation for the transformation of the sword.

"Absorption-release structure? That doesn't sound like Nicole's approach."

Thinking of something, Nero turned to look at Jiang Ming.

"Well, I did it. Although it is different from the magic weapon, the general principle is still the same. However, most of the credit for the transformation of this sword should be attributed to Miss Nicole. I just started a little bit. "

Jiang Ming nodded, generously acknowledging the transformation he made in the Scarlet Queen.

"...I thought you would persuade me not to go any further, and you didn't intend to help me."
