Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 872: Holy Demon Island, the Demon Sword Cult comes to check it out!
Several years have passed.

The Demon Sword Cult grew stronger and attracted more people to join.

They spread the news about the devil, saying that in order to prevent the devil from harming unsuspecting people, everyone must be made aware of the devil's existence and weaknesses!
This includes the Holy Demon Island, which, like Fortuna, is prone to having "holes" that allow demons to pass through.

The "Guardian Hand" of the Holy Demon Island was unable to prevent the Demon Sword Cult from stationing there.

But then I met Lucia.

As the girl who had an ambiguous relationship with Dante in Devil May Cry 2, it was quite surprising that Lucia did not cling to Dante like Tracy and Letty did.

Maybe it's because she still can't let go of the Holy Demon Island. Lucia is the chief priestess of the Guardian Hand clan, so she has the obligation to fight against the demons on the island.

She is a man-made person.

Lucia's true identity is an artificial demon created by the Snake Company, which is trying to use them to summon real demons on this island.

But Lucia was a failure and was abandoned by the company.

According to her, she was later picked up by an island resident named Matilda, who raised her as her daughter.

Then I came across Baroque.

"Baroque is not something you can handle!"

Lucia said to the members of the Demon Sword Cult.

"I say, there is a limit to how much you can underestimate others."

When Nero heard Lucia say this, he immediately said with dissatisfaction.

As the "Titled Magic Swordsman" of the Magic Sword Cult, Nero himself has slain hundreds of demons, if not a thousand.

Can a mere Baroque compare to Belial, the overlord of the Hell of Fire?
"It's the second-in-command of Chaos Overlord Argosax, the Fire Demon Baroque!"

Lucia said helplessly.

"This demon once fought against the Demon Emperor Mondes and ruled half of the Demon Realm. He was called the Overlord of the Demon Realm. It is indeed a great title."

Luther said indifferently.

"Ever since Argosax was destroyed, the Flame Demon Baroque has conquered half of the Demon Realm. Over the past decade or so, his power has grown stronger and stronger, and now he can even run to the Human Realm."

Lucia continued.

She didn't know why Baroque was able to run to the human world. Even though the Holy Demon Island was prone to holes, it was impossible for such a demon to appear.

Although someone might have created this kind of hole through some ritual or something, with Matilda and Lucia stationed on the island, it shouldn't be easy for anyone to complete such a ritual.

"Don't worry, we, the Demon Sword Cult, are here to completely solve the problems here."

Nero said confidently.

Lucia suddenly took action.

She intended to make this group of people realize the seriousness of the problem by showing her force.

"Nero, spar with her, but don't use too much force."

Luther spoke.

Nero's mouth curled up.

"learn!"

……

On the way to Baroque's location, there were real demons everywhere. It is estimated that they all came out of the demon world with Baroque.

Demons also have different races.

There are those who are good at mimicry, those who can manipulate magic, those who have strong regenerative abilities, those who have toxins in their bodies, etc. Their diversity is not comparable to that of humans.

And just like humans have different personalities, demons also have different characteristics.

But most demons are cunning if you must say so, and they think humans are nothing more than food or stones on the roadside.

Lucia watched as the members of the Devil Sword Cult efficiently cleaned up the demons. Their movements were clean and neat, and their eyes lit up when they saw the demons, as if they were not seeing demons but some treasures.

For the Demon Sword Cult that has already chopped Fortuna into the Demon's Forbidden Land, if they want to upgrade, they need demons!
There are so many demons here that they can just go on a killing spree.

Nero was too lazy to move, somewhat uninterested, and eager to meet the fire demon Baroque as soon as possible.

Credo was left in Fortuna to take charge. As the deputy leader, Credo had a lot of tasks and responsibilities.

Luther in particular is like a hands-off boss, and his favorite thing is to lead the team out to kill demons.

What I hate most is sitting in the office.

Lucia kept looking at Nero.

She lost to Nero and was easily defeated by him.

She didn't know that Nero also had a magic sword, Apophis, in his right hand.

All I know is that Nero pulled out the Crimson Queen, and then she lost miserably.

Although Nero did not use the Scarlet Queen with his right hand, Lucia was not able to deal with him with his left hand alone.

After being defeated, Lucia finally understood why the Demon Sword Cult was so confident. You know, Nero said that he was not the strongest in the Demon Sword Cult.

The strongest is his father, Luther, the leader of the Demon Sword Cult.

When the two father and son stand together, not only do they look nothing alike, but it also feels like Luther doesn’t have the maturity of a father at all.

Lucia looked at Nero, then at Luther, and looked back and forth several times. After comparing, she still didn't believe that they were father and son. She thought they should be brothers.

Following the slaughter of the Demon Sword Cult's beasts.

The demons began to fear the Sword Cult to the point where they turned and ran away when they saw them.

And at the end of their escape route is where Baroque is.

"Oh yeah."

Lucia gestured to Nero with her chin that the demon in front covered in red flames was Baroque.

It just stared in the direction of the two people without making any movement.

"You didn't do anything out of the ordinary. You're quite honest. What's wrong? Are you shy?"

Nero said as he walked towards Baroque.

The other party replied with the unique hoarse voice of a devil.

"You finally came."

Lucia frowned slightly when she heard this.

"Are you waiting for us?"

"Well I know if I wait here, you will definitely come. You who think you have the ability to hunt me down."

Baroque walked forward as he spoke. His huge body made the ground tremble, and Lucia even lost her balance and fell to the ground.

"After Argosax was eliminated, I lost an opponent worthy of fighting. I will surpass him one day. This belief has always been burning in my heart."

As he spoke, Baroque raised his huge right hand.

"But now, there is a new force guiding me as I gasp for air from boredom."

It was with its power that Baroque entered the human world.

Luther looked at the light in his hand and knew what it was.

The power of Yama Sword!
The Yama Blade is a relic of Sparta and is also Virgil's favorite sword. Baroque may have used the fragments of the Yama Blade in the demon world to gain the power to enter the human world. Dante, who was once trapped in the demon world, also used this power to escape from the demon world.

This is entirely Dante's own inference.
