Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 378 Mission: 12-2 The Lie is Destroyed

Raptor News host Bob Barbas was attacked and killed during a live broadcast.

As a journalist, Bob would probably be pleased to know that this incident sparked more heated discussion than the two terrorist attacks he covered.

But all of this had to be put aside for now. After learning that Virgil and his Order Society had been discovered, Nero and Dante, who had killed Bob Barbas and escaped Limbo, immediately rushed to the location recorded in the report.

The demon hadn't lied to them; this place was indeed Virgil's headquarters. But now it had been completely destroyed by an explosion, Virgil was nowhere to be found, and the raging flames had completely erased all traces.

Bodies were being carried out from the rubble one by one, and police and firefighters were cleaning up the battlefield.

"He must have escaped," Nero whispered. "Those police and demons couldn't stop him."

"I know." Dante's tone was a little anxious, and it was obvious that he was suppressing a huge amount of anger.

"Shall we go find him?"

Hearing Nero's suggestion, Dante turned his head instantly: "Do you have an idea?"

"Have."

Then, the two of them entered the Lingbo Prison again.

Deep within Limbo lay the true heart of the Order. But the explosion destroyed it all, blocking most of the passages. The psychic blockade that once prevented demons from noticing this place was also lifted, leaving a vast number of demons roaming the ruins.

"Deal with these guys first. They probably know we're coming." Nero said, taking out a brightly colored gem, holding it in his hand and waving it forward. Then, wisps of pale blue mist appeared in the air. "Not bad, there are still some."

Dante, who had casually knocked the demons away with a pair of boxing gloves, turned around and asked, "What is this?"

"These are traces left by Virgil. The longer he's active, the more this fog will appear."

Nero's answer was concise. This power was brought about by the inverted "Magic Stone of Sloth" - that is, "Diligence". She did not deliberately explain further.

"So we have to follow this thing?"

"Yes."

"Then we have to hurry."

Not only because Mondes' men might notice this place at any time, but also to prevent these "traces" from disappearing.

“Eh…heh!”

Dante used his strength to lift up a collapsed wall and passed through the gap.

This process was then repeated continuously, sometimes breaking walls, sometimes smashing the ground. The two went deeper and deeper into the underground space, and finally found the thick gray fog in the server room at the deepest part of the base.

"Indeed, even I can smell him here," Dante said.

"Dog nose?" Nero turned his head to look at him, his eyes revealing vigilance and suspicion.

"Do you understand metaphor? Metaphor."

"I thought you didn't understand."

"Do you really like to talk about your academic qualifications?"

Nero shrugged and didn't answer. Although... in theory, she should be the most educated person in the Spartan family, but that didn't mean she looked down on Dante's education.

Really.

"..."

Dante was speechless after being left speechless. He turned back to look at the server that had been formatted and completely destroyed physically by the explosion, and explained to himself, "I sensed his magic power. I think he fought someone here."

This server room was probably the most magically altered area in the entire base. The space within Limbo was far larger than in the real world, taking on the appearance of a temple. "Okay, then, the wall."

Nero pointed to the rear of the server wreckage, where signs of human destruction were evident. Wisps of blue smoke drifted out from there, but they were difficult to notice in this smoky space.

"It's me again, alright."

Dante punched the wall open, but what appeared behind it was not the secret passage leading to the outside world as he had imagined.

That's a dead end.

"Okay, special exit. This guy is more cautious than we thought." Nero breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the destroyed magic circle on the ground.

First, they transformed the Limbo, expanding and distorting its space. Then, they created a special exit that could instantly lead them through the Limbo to a safe area far away. It was a clever move, but the problem was...

"I remember someone saying that only Nephilim and demons can enter Limbo in the flesh?" Dante realized the problem.

"Yes, he only left a way out for himself."

At best, it's prudent, but at worst, it's just heartless. The design of this escape hatch shows that, from the earliest stages of establishing the base, Virgil considered how to handle being discovered, and his solution was to "let only himself escape."

"...These are all his subordinates." Dante frowned slightly, and for some reason a trace of displeasure emerged in his heart.

"But it's obvious that he doesn't trust them." Nero pursed his lips and stood in the center of the magic circle, trying to feel where it led to.

And whether you can trace the past.

"You seem a little angry?" While doing this, she turned her head and asked Dante.

"Maybe, maybe a little. But after all, he is my brother, and these people I..."

He didn't say the rest of the sentence, but his attitude was clear. To Dante, Virgil was much more important than these strangers, so he could tolerate Virgil's somewhat inhumane behavior.

"Yeah."

"What about you?" Dante asked Nero in return.

"..."

Nero was silent for a moment, then raised his head. "It's okay. I wouldn't say I'm angry. I should have known what kind of person 'Virgil' was."

Three deep marks appeared between Dante's eyebrows: "Isn't your statement——"

"Is there a problem?" Nero asked coldly, expressionless. "Yes, he is your relative, and you can say he is mine too. But do you remember what he said to you before?"

Dante was horrified. Although Nero had no expression on her face at this moment, the emotions she showed were stronger than any time before, far exceeding her hatred for Bob Barbas or the Demon Emperor Mondes.

"What do you mean?" he asked with difficulty.

"I am fighting for the freedom of all mankind."

Nero repeated these words word for word, then sneered coldly, "Oh, that's a nice thing to say. But what about the freedom of those who died?"

"You want to say he deceived us? But maybe..."

“No maybes.”

Nero interrupted Dante, who was trying to comfort Virgil, and coldly issued his own verdict:

"A person who can't even see the living person in front of him has no business talking about 'all mankind'."
