Chapter 404 Terrifying Chapter Name

Sareth did not think about escaping but stayed at Nero’s house temporarily. First, he knew that he could not defeat Dante and the others, and if he ran away, they would most likely catch him again. Second, he subconsciously recognized them as his kind after confirming Dante and Nero’s ident.i.ties.

With Nero and the others, the feeling of estrangement that Sareth had after entering the human world disappeared a lot. Sareth was only a child, so of course, he did not like being alone. Now that he had people to talk with, he was naturally willing to communicate.

Nero’s garage was also Nico’s workshop. There were many things that Sareth found strange here. Out of curiosity, he kept asking Nico questions, and she patiently answered them. She even showed him the use of some of the tools and let him try them personally sometimes.

If Nico was considered a big sister who would occasionally play pranks, then Kyrie was the complete opposite. She was a very gentle and caring woman. Toward Sareth, she treated him like the other adopted orphans. Although she did not say much, Sareth saw Ca.s.sandra in her.

In addition, there was Trish and Lady. Although they had not interacted much with Sareth, they had always maintained their smiles. With these few women around, Sareth’s psychological defenses naturally fell again and again. Over the next two days, after seeing that Sareth did not intend to escape, Dante and Nero had a discussion and returned Sareth’s weapons to him.

This won Sareth’s favor, and he finally decided not to pursue the matter of Dante and Nero beating him up.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Dante and Nero asked their doubts at the dinner table.

“Sareth, I’ve always been curious. Where do you come from?” Dante pretended to say casually while holding a knife and fork to eat a steak. “You seem to be investigating the demon swordsman Sparda. Is there something you want to do?”

Upon hearing this question, Sareth, who was eating, abruptly stopped. But just as the atmosphere was about to become stiff, Kyrie, who was sitting beside Sareth, reached out to touch his hair and said gently, “Don’t worry. We’re just curious. Moreover, maybe we can help you if you say

it.”

“That’s right!” Lady said timely. “I don’t dare to say anything else, but when it comes to Sparda, we have the right to speak.”

Sareth looked around and found that everyone was staring at him, and he could not help sighing heavily.

He was not stupid. Of course, he understood why Dante and the others brought him back. Although these people were very good to him, he did not forget the missions Roy gave him.

However… he knew very well that he knew too little about this human world. If he wanted to find the history of Sparda and the Demon Bible, he did not know how long it would take for him to investigate it by himself. So after thinking about it, he decided to say it and ask for help from these people. He lowered his head and started eating again. As he ate, he said, “What I’m looking for is called the Demon Bible. This is my mission.”

“Demon Bible?” After hearing this term, the others were confused. In fact, many of the terms that Sareth said confused them… Dante could not help but ask, “What is that?”

“It’s… something like a stone stele!” Sareth recalled the piece that Roy had shown him and described it. “It looks like an ancient stone stele with demon characters engraved on it. It’s been too long, and the characters are somewhat illegible.”

“What’s… the use of this thing?” Nero asked with a frown.

“Actually, I don’t know what use it has…” Sareth said. “I just want to find it. It’s said that a demon lord named Sparda took this thing away to this world. I wanted to find if there were any records of this thing in the museum…”

Subconsciously, everyone looked at Dante. He was the son of Sparda, and he should know what Sparda had left behind. Unfortunately, he frowned and thought for a long time, but he did not recall anything.

In fact, Dante… and even his brother, Vergil, had very vague memories of their father. He could not even remember his father’s appearance.

There was nothing he could do about it. When he was six years old, demons had attacked his home, and his mother had died because of it. His home had been burned down, and the family portrait that had been hanging in his house had also burned down at that time. The portrait had his father’s human appearance, but after decades, he could not remember much.

As for the relics left behind by his father, Dante only recognized the sword Rebellion in his hands and Yamato, the sword of his brother, Vergil. Yamato was now stored in Nero’s demon right arm, and Rebellion was on him. Other than that, there was nothing else that his father, Sparda, had left behind.

Therefore, Dante could only say, “Sareth, are you mistaken? I’ve never heard that Sparda has something like the Demon Bible…”

“No, there definitely is!” Sareth shook his head. “Foster Father won’t be wrong. If he says there is, there definitely is!”

Nero put down the fork in his hand and said doubtfully, “Sareth, you’ve mentioned the word ‘foster father’ twice. Who is this person? You seem to trust him a lot…” “Of course! It was Foster Father who adopted me!” Sareth said matter-of-factly as he raised his fingers and counted. “And Mother Ca.s.sandra, Mother Julia, Mother Benia… Well, Mother Benia is too strict with me, and I’m a little afraid of her, but she’s actually very good to me…”

This child has three mothers? With this thought popping into Dante’s mind, he suddenly felt a little envious of Sareth’s so-called foster father! He is a winner in life!

“Sareth, you don’t seem to be from this world, so your foster father isn’t either?” Trish suddenly asked. “Yes, of course not!” Sareth nodded. “I come from the Abyss. Foster Father and the others can’t come for the time being, so they asked me to come first…”

“Abyss? What is this place?” Trish, Lady, and the others looked at each other in confusion.

“The Abyss is the Abyss!” Sareth did not know how to describe it. He gestured to describe Frostfire City. “It’s full of snow falling all year round, and the temperature is very low and cold. It’s only slightly warmer in Frostfire City that Foster Father built because there’s an underground volcano…”

Dante, Nero, and the others listened to Sareth’s descriptions with rapt attention. They were actually quite curious about the world where Sareth lived.

“What I like the most is riding on Fat Tiger’s back and going out to play!” Sareth became more excited as he spoke. “Fat Tiger runs really fast, and his back is really big…”

Nico interrupted him and asked curiously, “Who is Fat Tiger?”

“Fat Tiger is a big dog!” Sareth replied. “A big, big dog! As big as a mountain!”

Nico and the others laughed when they heard that. They thought that this child was exaggerating. How could there be such a big dog…

“But Fat Tiger isn’t the biggest!” Sareth continued. “The biggest is Rafaro, but that guy is too cunning. He’s always flying in the sky. I want him to take me flying with him, but he’s always finding excuses to brush me off…” “Who is Rafaro?” Nico asked.

“Rafaro is a dragon!” Sareth said in a very normal tone. “Sky Dragon, the Sky Dragon of Osiris, that’s what everyone calls him.”

Dragon?! When everyone heard this, they looked at each other and exchanged glances. It seemed like their guess was right. It really was another world. There were no creatures like dragons in this world…

From the moment Sareth was sensible, he had come into contact with the things in Frostfire City, so these things were normal to him. Therefore, when he spoke about them, he used a normal tone. But the strange thing was that because of the preconceived notion, after hearing what Sareth said, although Dante and the others felt that it was novel, they did not think any further. They subconsciously treated Sareth’s foster father, Mother Ca.s.sandra, and the others as humans of another world and the big dog that Sareth mentioned as a real dog…

For a while, there was a harmonious atmosphere at the dining table. Everyone listened to Sareth boasting about his ‘hometown’ with smiles on their faces. They even felt that his foster father was not bad. Not every human would adopt a half-demon child…

It had to be known that the ident.i.ty of being a half-demon made it very difficult for Dante and Nero to integrate into the human communities of this world. It was not bad for Dante, but Nero had a much worse experience. His demon right arm often brought him trouble, and he did not even dare to show his right hand in front of humans. Every time he went out, he would hang his arm and wrap it in bandages to pretend that he was injured so that others would not see his right hand and become panicked.

Although Sareth looked like a human now, when half-demons were emotional, it would cause the demon side to appear. But they thought that his foster father must have seen it before. Not only did he not shun Sareth in this situation, but he even adopted him. If he was not a good person, who was?

So when Dante saw Sareth speaking about his father full of admiration and wors.h.i.+p, he actually felt a little envious…

After Sareth spoke for a while and calmed down, Lady asked, “So, your foster father told you about the Demon Bible stele?”

“Yeah, there seems to be a bunch of them!” Sareth nodded. “My foster father said that Spada might have one, so I’ve been searching for clues about it.” “I don’t think so?” Trish looked at Dante and asked curiously, “If Sparda really has this thing, why have we never heard of it?”

“If Foster Father says there is, then there definitely is!” Sareth retorted. “Foster Father said that Spada brought it from the Abyss!”

“Wait!” Dante finally realized that something was wrong. “What did you just say? Sparda brought it from the Abyss? No way. Sparda has been to your world?”

“Hmm… You can’t say that…” Sareth pondered over the words. “It’s not that Sparda has been to my world, but that Sparda is from the Abyss…”

“Huh?!” Everyone was stunned. Where did this come from?!

Trish was shocked. “This is impossible! Sparda is a demon of the Demon World. How could he come from your world?!”

“Huh? Didn’t I say it just now?” Sareth scratched his head. “The Abyss is the world of demons. Foster Father said that the Abyss is the home of demons…”

With a pfft, Dante and Nero spat out all the food they were chewing. This twist was something that they did not expect.

Trish stood up angrily, slapped the table, and shouted, “Brat, what nonsense are you saying?! The Demon World is clearly the home of demons. I’m a demon, so how can I not know where I come from?!”

Seeing Trish’s anger, Sareth was a little confused. “But… but Foster Father said that the Demon World here is actually called the Purgatory s.p.a.ce. It’s just an alternate s.p.a.ce that envelops the main world, and this alternate s.p.a.ce is just an outpost for demons. All demons actually come from the Abyss at the beginning…”

At this moment, even Trish was stupefied. Everyone looked at Sareth in a daze, unable to digest what he said. Dante was the first to come back to his senses. He vaguely felt that something was wrong just now, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind as he subconsciously asked, “Your… your foster father is a demon?!”

“Yes!” Sareth nodded matter-of-factly. “Moreover, Foster Father is a very, very powerful demon lord! All of Frostfire City is his territory!”

When they heard this, a bolt of lightning exploded in everyone’s minds. Demon… demon lord?! A demon lord like Sparda?!

Nico asked Sareth in a trembling voice, “Then… then what about your Mother Ca.s.sandra…”

Sareth said seriously, “Mother Ca.s.sandra? She’s a lich. As for Mother Julia, she’s a fallen angel. Mother Benia is a pure demon, but she’s a succubus…”

As they listened to Sareth going through his appalling family, everyone at the table was shocked speechless! They realized that the situation did not seem to be the harmony and friends.h.i.+p that they had imagined…

There was only one thought in their minds now. Things are… big!!
