"Are these guys also demons?"
"In my impression, yes, they are."
Zuo Si watched as DOOM dismembered the poor creature on the ground, and he shivered slightly.
DOOM is truly worthy of being DOOM.
"These creatures are not the same as the demons from my side—aside from being equally ugly, everything else is quite different."
DOOM dissected the limbs of the creature before him and watched as their bodies turned into ash, his brow twitching slightly.
After that, DOOM began to adjust his armor. As he adjusted it, he looked at Zuo Si before him, fell silent for a moment, and asked:
"Does the person we are picking up this time have a certain amount of demon blood?"
"That's right." Zuo Si nodded seriously, "But don't worry, he is definitely on the human side, and he has never done anything harmful or wicked. If you really had to say, what he does is probably about the same as what you do."
"I see." DOOM nodded, "If he is indeed a hunter who guards order, then naturally I will not do anything rude—of course, I do not trust demons. If I discover that guy has done something... well, you know, if that happens, I will definitely blow his head off with one shot."
Zuo Si nodded with a bit of trepidation.
He felt it was a bit troublesome.
Zuo Si had never thought before that the place they were coming to this time was the world of Devil May Cry—a world with demons.
As a professional and world-renowned demon hunter, DOOM could undoubtedly exert an effect close to a special attack in this place—however, the demons here were still somewhat different from those in DOOM's home world. The Adamantine equipment given to DOOM could not fully exert its original functions; DOOM had to kill one or two demons to analyze their Dimensional Secret Energy before he could exert his combat power.
But this was not the main point of Zuo Si's worry; what he was most worried about was...
Whether DOOM, Nero, and Dante would end up fighting...
Nero and Dante, the protagonists of the Devil May Cry series, both possess demon blood, yet they work as demon hunters, which can be said to be standard demon hunters.
Fortunately, DOOM indicated that he still had his rationality. Although his hatred for demons was as if it were tangible, if it were a guy who hunted demons just like him, he would likely not turn his blade against them.
The premise is that the other party is truly a demon hunter and will not do anything harmful or wicked.
Zuo Si sighed slightly, then raised his head to look at the massive "great tree" not far away that seemed to reach the sky.
That was the Demon Tree, and also the thing created by Vergil, the biggest Tool Person in the entire series.
—Devil May Cry, which translates to people who can make demons cry, is a game developed by the Capcom company, famous for its gorgeous operation and exquisite system. Throughout the game, you will play as a demon hunter, hunting down demons.
The protagonist of the first few generations is named Dante, a demon hunter with demon blood, possessing powerful strength, a flamboyant personality, and a tendency to flirt.
He has a brother named Vergil, a cold iceberg and a madman in pursuit of power. In his youth, he separated from Dante due to various events, and later, because of the rift between the brothers, he ran to the Demon Realm and became a Demon Lord on his own.
However, due to various problems, this gentleman has a bit of a Tool Person vibe.
Later, Dante's nephew appeared, named Nero. Perhaps because he spent too much time with Dante, Nero's personality also became a bit flamboyant—and the target of this mission is Nero.
If it were just about Nero, it would be easy to talk about. After all, although Nero is a bit flamboyant, he is essentially a "good young man," and DOOM would likely not have any malice toward him.
However, the biggest problem is—Nero's father, Vergil.
In the stories of the first few generations, demons basically fought secret battles in hidden places, but in this generation—which is the timeline where Zuo Si and the others are now—a Demon Lord directly planted the Demon Tree in a densely populated city, relying on killing people to obtain blood to refine fruits that could increase his power.
And that Demon Lord is Nero's father, the Devil Face of Vergil.
Zuo Si believes that with DOOM's personality, he would absolutely not let go of such a demon who has caused such huge harm to humanity; he might even risk his own life to kill Vergil.
Similarly, although Nero has never met his biological father and is not familiar with the aspect of fatherly love, for him, letting a stranger who suddenly appeared kill his father...
Are you kidding? Could he accept that? No matter who it is, it would be impossible to accept!
So, this mission is less about persuading Nero and more about how to keep DOOM and Vergil from meeting...
It is too difficult in every sense.
"Sir Zuo Si, you are truly amazing." Victoria smiled and carried her blade on her shoulder; she seemed to be in a very good mood right now, "You seem to understand everything here very well. Is this your original world?"
"Not really..." Zuo Si did not hide anything, "It's just that in my world, I have heard of your stories."
"Eh! Then in your world, what am I like in the story?"
Victoria looked at Zuo Si before her with starry eyes.
Looking at the pure and innocent Victoria, Zuo Si held back for half a day, but in the end, he couldn't say the words "mute" or "Tool Person."
That Azure Star lady seemed to notice Zuo Si's hesitation; the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, then she sighed and looked at the demons on the side.
"These things are truly disgusting, killing for the sake of killing... tsk, if you put them in an ecosystem, I'm afraid it would cause huge problems for the surrounding environment." Victoria clearly also disliked these demons very much; she frowned, carried her greatsword on her shoulder, and stomped her feet.
DOOM expressed deep agreement with this.
"No matter where, demons deserve to die."
Zuo Si wiped his forehead slightly.
He must not let DOOM and Vergil meet! Otherwise, it would definitely turn into a war of the century!
He looked up at the sky; it looked like afternoon now. According to the game flow of Devil May Cry 5, it only took Nero and the others one day to successfully defeat Vergil.
Then they should be inside the Demon Tree now...
In that case, as long as Vergil goes back, wouldn't DOOM and Vergil not meet?
Would everything be fine as long as he drags it out until the time is up?
Zuo Si felt it made sense.
So he immediately revealed an amiable, gentle, and pleasant smile.
"Let's search the surroundings first to see if we can find that neighbor."
DOOM glanced at Zuo Si.
For some reason, he always felt that Zuo Si seemed to be calculating something.
