Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 363 Mission: 08-3 Brothers
"...hell."

Dante hid behind a high wall, gazing from afar at the secret base he had entered during his last conversation with Virgil. "Are you telling the truth?"

Nero's figure appeared in the void on a nearby rooftop. She had just brought back some unpleasant news for Dante from Limbo.

"Do you think I need to lie to you in a place like this?"

The news was that the Order Society's hidden base had been exposed to the demons and was now under strict surveillance. Entering there now would be a trap.

"So how else can we contact Virgil?"

It’s not really Virgil’s fault that he didn’t tell Dante the next meeting place. After all, in his opinion, Nero was Mendes’ subordinate, and he naturally wouldn’t reveal his whereabouts with Nero present.

But correspondingly, Virgil should also know that this would be the only place where he could reconnect with Dante.

"Wait, he should be here."

So, behind Dante, who was looking across the street, a dark hand reached out quietly and approached Dante's shoulder little by little.

"he came."

In an instant, Dante drew his gun and pointed it behind him without looking back.

"Don't be nervous, brother." The owner of the hand quickly stopped and said, "It's me."

Dante kept drawing his gun and slowly turned his head to see a young silver-haired man in a black windbreaker and a tricorn hat standing behind him with his hands raised.

"Virgil?" Dante asked.

"It's me." Virgil breathed a sigh of relief. He lowered his raised hands and pulled out a necklace from his chest. The pendant was a blue magic stone. "You really remembered."

"Not really. I only remember what you looked like when you were a child."

Dante also put down his gun: "I'm not sure what you are like now."

"But you remembered, that's enough." Virgil took back the necklace and opened his arms: "Welcome back, brother. Follow me."

He led Dante towards his secret base. The two of them walked in silence, while Nero stood on the top of the tall building and watched them walk away, then turned and went downstairs.

Also behind a hidden garage, Virgil opened the passage and went in, taking the lead in returning to his base.

This place has a more "base" feel than the other side. As an organization that mainly operates on the Internet, this base has a huge host, monitors and screens everywhere, and many people walk around.
"...Is this your 'association'?"

"Yes, the last line of defense against demons."

After walking all the way to the depths of the base and passing through a huge door, the metal gate slowly closed behind them, and Virgil turned around.

"Library?" Dante looked up and around. Just as he'd described, it was filled with bookshelves and books, though they were mostly concentrated around the edges. Above the bookshelves and on the surrounding pillars were countless surveillance screens, and in the corners sat ornate chairs and desks.

"This is my 'office area,' which also serves as my reception room," Virgil answered Dante's question frankly. He spread his hands and looked around, then a long, pitch-black sword appeared in his hand, which he used as a crutch.

“Welcome again, Dante.” This time Virgil called out Dante’s name. “And glad to see you’re not accompanied by a demon.”

He really did have a lot of issues with Nero, and Dante realized this once again. So, without mentioning Nero's current condition or what he knew about her identity, he simply asked, "How do you know she's a demon?"

“Perfect disguise, huh?” Virgil laughed. “Because I caught her once, before I met you.”

Oh my goodness, so this is why Nero knew the location of Virgil's secret prison? Dante wanted to laugh, but he also felt that this seemed a bit ironic, and his expression twisted for a moment.

Finally, he covered his forehead and pinched both temples: "Okay, I understand. But how did you know for sure that she was our enemy?"

This time, it was Virgil who showed a surprised expression: "Come on, that's a demon."

"Isn't that also true of our father?"

"Then...how can they be the same?"

"What if—I mean what if." Dante looked at Virgil, who looked a little stunned, and asked, "What if our father left behind a demonic bastard..."

"I think they will undoubtedly be our enemies. Dante, you must know that the Demon Emperor Mendes' rule over the demons is absolute. Think about it, didn't our father end up like this because he betrayed him?" Virgil answered firmly.

So Dante reluctantly ended the topic: "Okay. Let's talk about other things."

"Does this mean you're going to help me?"

"I must at least avenge my mother."

When this topic is brought up, Dante still feels a little angry.

"now it's right."

A pleased smile appeared on Virgil's face. "How much do you know now?"

"A lot. Mendes, Nephilim, and Hell's Gate."

"Then it seems I don't need to explain everything one by one."

Vergil raised his hand and showed Dante the long sword in his hand: "Yanma Blade, the weapon given to me by my father, is the same as your 'Blade of Rebellion'. As long as I use the power of this sword, I can close the gate to the demon world."

"And then the guy can be killed?"

"Yes, the Demon Emperor in the Demon Realm is immortal, and the same is true for the Demon Emperor connected to the Demon Realm Gate. At this moment, he coexists with the Demon Realm, and as long as the Demon Realm is immortal, he will also be immortal. But as long as we close the Demon Realm Gate and sever his connection with the Demon Realm, he will just be a more powerful demon."

Dante folded his hands and scoffed, "Ha! Then his coming to the human world was a really bad idea."

"Because he's not satisfied with being an emperor, he wants to be a 'god.'" Virgil also laughed: "This kind of greed will eventually harm him."

After laughing, Dante then asked Virgil, "But since the Demon World Gate is his weakness, it must be well guarded, right?"

"Yes, so he'll probably stay there... unless he gets extremely angry and the only remaining Nephilim capable of harming the Demon Realm Gate appears before him."

Dante immediately understood. "Then he'll chase after the Nephilim who irritated him?"
