The Eternal War?

Roy was not too worried about this. After all, he had experienced it once in the Darksiders world and felt that this war with Heaven was not a big deal.

However, the Eternal War in the Darksiders world had completely ravaged the human world, and there were only around two thousand survivors left on the entire planet. If Sparda’s worry was about the human world, then it was understandable.

Now, Roy was curious about the other world because if his guess was right, the angels in that world were Julia’s former compatriots.

No wonder Roy had not felt the aura of angels after arriving in the Devil May Cry world. It was not because there was no Heaven in this world, but because the demons had defeated the angels and expelled them from this world thousands of years ago.

However, from Sparda’s description, after being expelled, the angels did not return to the true Heaven but instead went to the twin world that was extremely similar to the Devil May Cry world…

In this case, the time when Samael came to this world should be around when the angels were defeated. Julia might have been one of the last angels to withdraw, but Samael had caught her and transformed her into a fallen angel.

Samael had never appeared in front of the demons here, so even some demons that had been around for a long time in the Demon World had never seen him. The reason why Samael had quietly left was probably because he saw that Mundus was about to become a demon king, so he had given up on this world in order to avoid a conflict between kings.

From this, Roy inferred another conclusion. Mundus might be able to plunder the Ouroboros Marks of demons weaker than him, but he could not plunder the ones of those stronger than him. Otherwise, Samael would have had his mark taken away when he entered this world. Wouldn’t he have fought Mundus in that case?

Seeing that Sparda had finished merging his body, Roy said, “Did you secretly seal this pa.s.sage to the twin world because Mundus was unearthing it?”

“Yes!” Sparda nodded. “I have always suspected that during the ten years that Mundus disappeared, he went to the other world through this channel. Considering the arrogant personality of Mundus, who has always regarded himself as a G.o.d, and his morbid fetish for the angelic appearance, I think he might have reached some kind of agreement with the angels in that world… You have to know that this technique of plundering the Ouroboros Marks of demons doesn’t seem like something a demon can come up with by himself…”

Roy and Benia could not help but be stunned when they heard this. It seemed that this was indeed the case. Demons had always fought rather recklessly. On the other hand, angels had always been trying to make up for their lack of population, so when it came to things like magic technology, such as artificial angels… their research in magic was much deeper than that of demons. It was impossible for someone to tamper with spatial channels without some knowledge.

“This spatial channel is not fixed. It only appears when the twin worlds are close to each other! So when I sealed this channel, Mundus could not find it…” Sparda could not help but glare at Roy at this point. “If not for you messing things up, I would have only needed to wait another ten years or so for the twin worlds to move away from each other, and the channel would have closed. Now it’s just great. Once the seal on the channel disappears, there’s no need for Mundus to look for it…”

“Don’t worry. Before killing you, I don’t think Mundus will leave you, the traitor, alone and go to that world!” Roy pulled out Frostmourne from the ground and looked up. “Let’s deal with the current situation first. They’re already here.”

As though to confirm Roy’s words, countless sounds came from above the deep valley. Not only that, but the excited and bloodthirsty roars of the demons accompanied them.

The demon army under Mundus had appeared…

Hearing these noises, Dante, Vergil, and Nero could not help but tighten their grip on their weapons. Although Rebellion and Yamato were still there, Sparda’s soul fragments had already been taken out from their weapons, and the power of the two demon swords had dropped several levels, making Dante and Vergil feel a little lacking in confidence.

But at this moment, Sparda condensed his Devil Sword Sparda again and raised it. “Children, do you remember the swordsmans.h.i.+p lessons I taught you?”

These words calmed Dante and Vergil down once again. The two brothers looked at each other as though they had returned to their childhood. But this time, it was different. They were fighting alongside their father!

“Come on! Gather your conviction!!”

With Sparda’s roar, Sparda, Dante, and Vergil simultaneously slashed at the top of the deep valley!

Three different magic power rays of light erupted from their blades and joined together, forming an incomparably enormous magic power pillar that surged upward.

The light illuminated the entire deep valley. Countless screaming demons that were flying down collided with this pillar of light condensed from sword energy and magic power. Under the impact of the powerful magic power, the demons screamed and turned into ashes in the pillar of light. The pillar of light broke through the surface of the deep valley like a hot knife through b.u.t.ter, and without slowing down, it slammed into the dark clouds of the Demon World, directly punching a hole in the sky.

The dazzling pillar of light cut through the night sky, declaring its existence. Many demons on the surface flapped their wings and flew away from the pillar of light in panic. Even hundreds of kilometers away, the brilliance of the pillar of light could be seen.

“This is… an epic scene!” Rafaro, who was floating in the sky, could not help but exclaim when he saw this scene.

The pillar of light lasted for a while before gradually dissipating and finally extinguis.h.i.+ng. However, the combined attack of Sparda and his sons eliminated countless demons. The whole deep valley was wiped out, and the terrifying roars of the demons disappeared. The entire deep valley was empty and quiet. Seeing this situation, Dante whistled to express his excitement as he placed Rebellion on his back.

They had eliminated the demons in the deep valley, but there were still more enemies waiting for them on the surface. Sparda looked back at Roy, only to see him grinning sinisterly. He stretched out his hand to gesture ‘you first, please’!

Even Sparda could not help but feel depressed after seeing Roy’s expression. It seemed that Demon Osiris was determined to make him the main tank…

The black elytra on his back spread open, revealing two more pairs of wings as thin as cicada wings. Sparda spread his wings and flew up. Dante and Vergil also transformed into demon forms and followed their father.

“Hey! Wait for me!” Nero, who had yet to activate his demon form, was dumbfounded. He could not fly up like this.

Fortunately, Roy grabbed his collar the next second and threw him onto Fat Tiger’s back. Fat Tiger flew up with him and Cerberus, while Roy, Julia, and Benia flew beside Fat Tiger.

The moment Roy flew out of the deep valley to the surface, even he was a little stunned.

In all directions, within a 360-degree radius, he could see countless densely-packed demons rus.h.i.+ng over. In the darkness, the eyes of these demons glowed with scarlet light, and together, it looked like a scene that could cause people with trypophobia to vomit.

An army of millions or even tens of millions of demons surrounded Roy, Sparda, and the others…

Farther away, in the direction of Demon King City, Roy could not see the situation in Demon King City clearly, but he could see a ma.s.sive pentagram magic formation appearing in the sky above Demon King City and slowly rotating. If he guessed correctly, it was Mundus’s seal. He seemed to be struggling to break the seal and appear.

“How much strength can Mundus retain with the seal you set?” Roy asked Sparda.

Sparda pondered for a moment. “It’s been too long. Now, the power of the seal may only seal twenty percent of his strength… Moreover, his true body might very well be able to appear in the Demon World fully!”

“A demon king with eighty percent strength?” Roy rubbed his chin. “I wonder how strong he is?”

“I said that he’s not a true demon king!” Sparda said. “He doesn’t have any ‘authority’ to speak of. Otherwise, we wouldn’t even need to fight and could just run away!”

Roy nodded and then turned around to say to Julia and Benia, “Fuse. Don’t be careless!”

Julia and Benia looked at each other before taking out crystal earrings and placing them in their hands.

The crystal earrings were a small pendant with a golden ball attached to it. If you looked carefully, you would be able to see the golden pentagram in the ball. Yes, this was a reduced version of the Potara Earrings. Roy had specially made it for Julia and Benia to use for the Fusion technique.

Julia had the right earring in her hand, while Benia had the left earring in her hand. The two of them carefully put their earrings on the right earlobe.

The moment they finished wearing them, their bodies suddenly emitted dazzling light. Their bodies instantly disappeared, and in their place was a completely new female…’angelic demon’?

This angelic demon was about two meters tall, and her angelic black battle dress accentuated her figure to the point of being explosive. Scarlet-black flames enveloped her entire body, and her long black and red hair flew upward, floating up in the raging flames with heat waves continuously fluctuating. A pair of long curved demon horns extended from her forehead, and red and golden double pupils appeared in her eyes.

Her left wing was Julia’s black flame wing, and on the other side was Benia’s demon wing. Both wings were equally large, and the wingspan extended out for about fifteen meters.

The most astonis.h.i.+ng thing was the magic power pressure emanating from her body. It was actually a proper demon lord-level magic power pressure!

“Ah~~” This newly-appeared angelic demon let out a lazy and incomparably gentle sound. Just this voice alone could excite people.

Holding the demon sword in one hand and the succubus whip in the other, the fused angelic demon called out her name. “My name is… Junia!”
