Chapter 242: You disgust me
(N.A.: So... About [Devil EX-Calibur], I found it more interesting to give this weapon a unique name, which would be the "Corrupted Excalibur." I've been leaving this aside for a while, so I'll try to be clearer in these kinds of situations.)
"I understand..." Dante muttered... The cold in the air was completely consumed by an aura of black flames that burned everything around him... "Then I don't need to hold back..."
Dante saw the Knight pull a long spear from his back and look directly at him.
"Well, well... he's got a big needle, gonna poke me?" Dante mocked as he began to draw the [Devil EX-Calibur].
Dante sharpened his eyes, heightened all his senses to the maximum; his fury was used as fuel, a fury bubbling inside him. He really wasn't playing anymore; when it involved his wife, nothing else mattered but her.
"Come on, boy, that pony won't win you a fight," Dante said, waving his hand. "Come at me, you bastard," he growled, the darkness around him intensifying.
The Knight, named Valthor, smiled at him, and in a swift motion, he summoned a strange spear, adorned with skulls and demonic symbols.
With a rapid movement, Valthor threw the spear towards Dante. It cut through the air with impressive speed, enveloped in dark flames. Dante dodged it by a hair's breadth, the spear piercing the ground where he had been moments before, exploding in an eruption of negative energy.
"Whew! That was close!" Dante mocked again before casting a furious glance at Valthor. "But you're gonna need more than that."
Dante charged forward, channeling the energy he had absorbed from the tree's veins. His hands glowed with a dark aura as he formed spheres of pure demonic power, launching them at Valthor.
Valthor raised his shield, blocking the attack with an impact that made the ground tremble.
"You're strong, Dante, but brute force won't save you." He continued to appear superior to Dante, but he had no idea what awaited him.
The demon horse neighed, leaping forward. Dante braced for the impact, but at the last moment, the horse vanished, reappearing behind him. He quickly retreated, but Valthor attacked, his spear cutting through the air, impaling Dante and lifting him...
"My king was right; you're just a child who got Lilith's blessing," Valthor said, looking at Dante's seemingly lifeless body.
And he hadn't even used his Domain to do it. It was a simple matter that none of them could foresee, and that matter? Dante is the King, or rather, the Supreme Regent. He can control demonic energy in the best possible way, and destroying the Domain of a contracted Demon was too easy.
"What have you done!" Valthor shouted in fury, feeling all his power being negated. His Domain's function was simply to increase his strength. It was simple, proving that he was indeed a strong Demon, but he didn't come close to truly superior demons. "Hm? I didn't do anything, I guess the universe just wanted to play too much with you," Dante smiled, deeply irritating Valthor.
"DAMN YOU!" Valthor, with a furious shout, channeled all the demonic energy in his body into his Spear.
"Look, he's angry," Dante said. He had already finished the fight and was just toying with his prey. The horse teleported again, but this time...
"Goodbye," Dante said, disappearing along with the horse. "The problem with Invisibility Skills is that it doesn't make you intangible or completely silent; your breathing can still be heard," Dante said, appearing in front of the Horse. "Goodbye, little friend."
Valthor raised the spear to block, but Dante was faster. The flaming sword sliced through, penetrating his armor and cutting through the horse's body. The poor horse became just a dead body, cut in two horizontally.
"Bastard!" Valthor screamed, the pain twisting his face into a contorted mask of agony. "Ah, so that's why... the Horse was an extension of your body, how intriguing..." Dante said with a creepy smile. He didn't know that lesser Demons, below him, could have extended bodies. He had his in the form of Cerberus, and this one before him had a horse. It was really...
"Curious," he thought.
"This... this is impossible..." Valthor murmured, having fallen from his mount.
Dante approached, his gaze fixed on the fallen demon. "Get up, champion, my expansion is Invincible. I'm waiting for the invincible superior being to appear." Dante made a face, looking around...
"How pathetic." Dante thought as he saw that the great knight could no longer move. "You disgust me," Dante said. With one final gesture, he channeled the remaining energy, disintegrating Valthor in an explosion of shadows and flames. Valthor gave one last look at Dante before disappearing into a cloud of smoke.
Dante stood there, watching the scene, his hands trembling as the demonic energy dissipated. "Binding Vow... damn it, he tied his strength with the horse's in a single life," he thought and turned... "What an idiot..." he murmured, feeling someone approaching.
Fey approached cautiously, observing Valthor's lifeless body. "You... crushed him like a bug," she murmured, her eyes wide with a mix of strange sensations. "But the Root is still active. It's very dense; I won't be able to consume it," he commented.
"First, disconnect the roots of the tree; that will delay things a lot," she said, and Dante just nodded silently, walking ahead.
"Rest in Peace," Fey said to the charred remains of the demons. "An experiment with divine Binding magic... what did you do to that girl?" she murmured.
