Custom Made Demon King

Chapter 408 Exorcism Commission

“You... you mean that Dante is the child of Sparda?!”

Halfway through the story, V mentioned the identities of Dante and Vergil, and Sareth’s eyes almost popped out.

He did not expect that the white-haired guy who had stayed with him for a few days was actually one of Sparda’s children!

Seeing Sareth’s surprised expression, V was a little puzzled. “Huh? Didn’t he tell you this?”

“No...” Sareth shook his head and grabbed his red hair in annoyance. “Damn it! No wonder that guy has been stopping me from investigating Sparda. It turns out that his father is Sparda...” Although Sareth knew that Dante and Nero were both half-demons, they had never told him about their origins, so he had only thought that Dante and Nero were the descendants of a demon and human. Now that he learned from V’s story that Dante’s father was Sparda, Sareth realized that it was because Dante did not like people investigating his father that he stopped him.

At this time, Sareth still yet to understand. Dante and the others stopped him from investigating not because they did not like Sareth investigating Spada, but because Sareth investigating Spada might lead to serious consequences...

After hearing Sareth’s vexed words, V frowned and asked, “Why are you investigating Sparda?”

V was actually the human side of Vergil. Although Vergil had separated him with the help of the katana Yamato, V had also inherited all of his memories, and Sparda was also Vergil’s father. When he heard that Sareth was investigating Sparda, V also found it strange.

Sareth did not hide it from him and told him about the Demon Bible. When V heard the term Demon Bible stele, he was at a loss at first, but after thinking about it for a while, his eyes suddenly gleamed.

Then he asked Sareth calmly, “Why are you looking for this thing?” Sareth scratched his head. “It’s just one of my missions. My foster father asked me to find it. As for what this thing is for, I don’t really know.”

Hearing this, V sighed in relief. At this moment, he had the same misunderstanding as Dante and the others at first. He thought that the foster father Sareth mentioned was a human, so he said, “I have some impression of this thing...”

“Oh?!” Sareth’s eyes lit up as he hurriedly asked, “Have you heard of it? Can you tell me?”

“Don’t worry. I haven’t finished telling my story...” V continued, “... Vergil lost in the final battle with Dante and chose to fall into the Demon World. There, he challenged Mundus, but unfortunately, he failed again. Then he was subsequently controlled by Mundus, became a puppet, and lost his memories. Then he encountered Dante again and was defeated by him again... This is a great humiliation to Vergil!”

“That’s true...” Sareth felt that he could understand. Anyone who was defeated by their brother again and again would have their pride hurt, right?

“Therefore, defeating Dante has already become Vergil’s final obsession!” V continued. “Unfortunately, the severe injuries he suffered in several battles caused Vergil to fall into a very dangerous state of collapse. In addition, he felt that his repeated defeats were due to the weak human side of his bloodline, so in order to save himself and become stronger, he chose to turn himself into a pure demon...”

Upon hearing the story and recalling what he had seen earlier, Sareth finally understood. He pointed at V in surprise. “You... you’re Vergil. Or the human side of Vergil.” “... That’s right!” V struggled to stand up. “Brat, the reason why I said so much to you is to let you understand how dangerous things are. You’ve also seen the demon who left just now. He’s the coldest and most evil side of Vergil. He inherited Vergil’s obsession, so he’ll definitely find a way to kill Dante to complete his revenge. He’s now in the Demon World, but when he returns, he’ll definitely come back with many demons. At that time, not only will Dante be in danger, but the entire human world will be in danger!” Without waiting for Sareth to respond, V grabbed Sareth’s wrist tightly. “You have to help me! Help me find Dante and tell him what happened here!”

In fact, since V could say these words and wanted to inform Dante, his only family member, it was apparent that Vergil had a brother complex deep down. If Roy were here, he might have sighed. A certain Itachi is as well...

Once his emotions became agitated, V started coughing crazily. Sareth could tell that his current physical condition was not good, which was why he asked him for help. Otherwise, he would not have explained so much to a stranger... Well, of course, it might also be because he heard that he knew Dante and Nero.

“I can help you...” Sareth scratched his head and said in worry, “But I came here following the spatial rift and don’t know where I am now. How do I go back like this?”.

“That’s okay. I know where this is...” V looked up at an old picture hanging on the wall with a reminiscent expression. There was a man, a woman, and two similar-looking children... After a long while, V returned to his senses and said, “This is Red Grave City... As long as we go out and find a map, we can find a way back.”

“Okay!” Sareth said. “Then I’ll help you find Dante, but you have to tell me about the Demon Bible stele. Okay?”

“Deal!” V nodded weakly.

Seeing that they had reached an agreement, Sareth did not waste any time. He roared, and blazing flames immediately rose from his body. Under his control, these flames gathered behind him and turned into a pair of flame wings.

This was also a harvest from Sareth’s recent increase in strength. These flame wings were not the pair when a demon transformed, and they could only be regarded as a way of using magic power. With these flame wings, Sareth could barely fly as he grabbed V’s arm with both hands and dragged him out of the manor.

It could not be helped. With Sareth’s height and arm length, it was impossible for him to embrace an adult like V, so he could only fly with V in this way...

While Sareth and V were looking for a way back, on the other side, there was another scene in the small town of Fortuna.

The mysterious man who suddenly appeared had snatched away Nero’s right arm, causing him to lose a lot of blood and fall into a coma. After Nico and Kyrie hurriedly bandaged Nero to stop the bleeding, they finally remembered Sareth, who had rushed into the spatial rift, but they could not find him. They had no choice but to seek help from Dante. But when they tried to call his phone, they found that it was out of service!

“Damn it! You owe money?! How can you owe money at such a critical time?!” Nico was dumbfounded. It seemed like she did not know much about Dante’s current economic situation.

“Let’s try calling Lady or Trish...” “Okay. What’s the number?” Nico asked while holding her phone.

The next second, Kyrie was stunned. “I... I don’t know...”

Not only did she not know, but even Nero did not know. He did not have much contact with Lady and Trish, and even if he did, it was through Dante.

They could not count on calling Trish and Lady anymore. So in the end, Kyrie had no choice but to try calling the landline number of Dante’s shop.

She could connect to the landline, but unfortunately, no one picked up after ringing for a long time. Only then did Nico remember that after Dante and the others returned, they had probably gone out to search for clues about the Demon Bible and Vergil. It was normal that they were not in the shop.

But this meant that they could not contact Dante and could not tell him what had happened to Nero.

“There’s nothing else we can do. Let’s take care of Nero first...” Nico sighed.

But at this time, Nico did not know that the next time she could meet Dante was a month later...

May 2nd, 10:14 a.m.

Sareth and V finally arrived in the city where Dante opened his shop.

Sareth wanted to find Dante directly, but V stopped him. “Sareth, I don’t want Dante to know my identity. Please don’t tell him, okay?”

“Okay... Whatever you say.” Sareth nodded. He could roughly guess V’s current feelings, so he asked, “How do you plan to tell him about this?”

“It’s simple. Just use the status of a client!” V opened a poetry book and smiled. “This is an exorcism, isn’t it? It’s best to let professional demon hunters do it.”
