Custom Made Demon King

Chapter 417 Unfamiliar Place

Time passed day by day. In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed since Dante and the others fell into the Qliphoth. Nero was already on the verge of vomiting from eating so many souls. His growth in magic power was a good thing, but every time he thought about how these souls had come from those disgusting-looking demons, he could not help but feel disgusted. Fortunately, he finally did not need to eat anymore because the magic power prosthetic arm that Nico made for him was finally completed.

Nico had made more than one of these magic power prosthetic arms, and many of them had different functions. After obtaining these prosthetic arms, Nero could no longer hold back and was ready to enter the interior of the Qliphoth again. After calling V and Sareth back, the four of them began to discuss beside the car.

“Our first task is to find Dante and the others!” Nero said. “Although I feel that it won’t be that easy for Dante to die, we haven’t heard from the three of them for more than a month. If we don’t find them, I’m afraid that something bad should have happened…”

“What if…” V was looking at the poetry book in his hand. He raised his head and asked, “What if Dante is really dead?”

“Then I’ll kill Urizen to commemorate him!” Nero said firmly as he gritted his teeth and clenched his left fist tightly. V nodded and did not say anything else. “If Dante isn’t dead, where do you think he is?” Sareth asked. “As you can see, that Qliphoth is massive, and its interior space is naturally astonishing. How should we find him?” Nero pondered for a while before saying, “Perhaps we can try searching separately?”

“I have no problem, but Sareth…” V said while looking at Sareth. “I… I shouldn’t have a problem… right?” Sareth asked, a little unconfident.

To be honest, Sareth knew that with his current strength, he could at most deal with low-rank and middle-rank demons. If he accidentally encountered a high-rank demon, then he could only run. Although his demon transformation could allow him to obtain the power of a high-rank demon, the duration was too short. If he used this unstable ability against enemies, he might fail… This made Sareth a little discouraged. His foster father wanted him to train and gain experience, but his strength did not seem to have increased much…

Should I really use the plague power sealed in Executioner by Foster Father?

Nero did not know that Sareth was thinking about this. Hearing Sareth’s unconfident tone, he hesitated for a moment before saying, “Sareth, how about this? When you search, don’t go too deep. If you find a powerful demon, run away quickly. Regardless of whether we can find Dante or not, we’ll all meet at the entrance of the Qliphoth three days later.”

“Okay!” Sareth nodded.

“Then there’s no time to lose. Let’s go!” Nero waved his hand and called for V and Sareth to get into Nico’s car. At this moment, Nico was sitting in the driver’s seat, holding the steering wheel, and smoking a cigarette. Seeing that everyone had gotten up, she immediately stepped on the accelerator. “Ah!!! Let’s go!” The roar of the engine was ear-piercing on the quiet streets of Red Grave City. Countless low-level demons heard the noise and blocked the path of the car in an attempt to intercept everyone. However, Nico stepped on the accelerator all the way to the end and slammed into them. The specially reinforced front of the car made loud thuds one after another, smashing the low-level demons into pieces, sending blood and flesh flying. Nero and Sareth also shot down some of the demons who tried to jump down from the upper floors of residential buildings.

On the other hand, V sat calmly in the back seat of the car and quietly looked at the poetry book in his hand… Who knew how many times he had read this book…

They barged through several streets and finally approached the roots of the Qliphoth. Here, they encountered a group of human soldiers. They did not know what orders these soldiers had received, but they seemed to be trying to break through the demons’ defensive circle and enter the Qliphoth. But here, a large number of low-level demons blocked them and slaughtered the soldiers one by one. The firepower became weaker and weaker, and it was impossible for them to continue moving forward. Instead, they kept retreating step by step.

“Help them!” When Nero saw this scene, he got Nico to stop the car. At the same time, he fired two bullets and pierced through the head of a low-level demon that was about to kill a human soldier.

As soon as the car stopped, Sareth jumped out. When he landed, he grabbed Executioner from his back, waved it, and charged into the demons. There were only three rescued human soldiers remaining. The guns in their hands did not have many bullets left, and their bodies were covered with wounds. They thought they were dead for sure, but with a twist of fate, two people suddenly appeared to save them. They could not help but ask in disbelief, “You… you are…?”

“Relax and recovery. They’re experts at dealing with demons!” Nico got out of the car, squatted beside these soldiers with a cigarette in her mouth, and then asked V, “Aren’t you going?”

“They’re enough…” V held his cane and looked at the two fighting in front. “Okay. Anyway, looking at your body, it doesn’t look like it can last long!” Nico got back into the car. “You should save your strength!” Sareth’s Executioner was cutting through the air and easily killing these low-rank demons, while Nero used the magic power prosthetic arm that Nico had made for him. This magic power prosthetic arm was usually hidden in his body, and once he drove magic power through it, it would extend out. Under Nero’s use, the magic power prosthetic arm immediately became a great killing weapon. In his left hand, Red Queen slashed everywhere, and the right magic power prosthetic arm continuously erupted with electrical attacks, killing the demons until they were sizzling. The demons were not stupid. After realizing that these enemies were exceptionally powerful and that they could not defeat them at all, they immediately threw down a pile of corpses and fled in all directions. Nero and Sareth did not chase after them. After killing these demons, the entrance at the roots of the Qliphoth was close. “Let’s go!” Seeing V walk over, Nero waved his hand. “Let’s move according to the original plan.”

Stepping on the dilapidated city road and smelling the thick smell of blood coming from the Qliphoth, the three of them entered the interior of the tree. Here, the paths began to become complicated, but no matter how complicated they were, they just followed the paths up. After all, the tree grew upright. The three of them looked at each other and separated as each of them chose a direction to go in. Sareth found a direction and moved forward alone. He held Calamity in his hand and carried Executioner and the Demon Bible stele on his back. He walked and occasionally stopped to identify the way forward. It’s been a month. I wonder how much the fruit has grown, Sareth thought as he walked. If I keep walking up the tree like this, I might encounter powerful demons intercepting me. Maybe I won’t even be able to reach the top of the tree… I’d better find Dante as soon as possible and find a way to return outside. Then I’ll fly up and take a look like last time…

In fact, during the continuous hunting of demons in Red Grave City, Sareth had already realized that there was a problem with the last time he inexplicably reached the top of the tree crown. Because these days, he had seen many human flying vessels known as ‘planes’ flying above the tree crown, but without exception, these flying vessels seemed to have hit something and then tumbled down.

But the area where the flying vessels flew was clearly empty…

No matter how stupid Sareth was, he could imagine that it was not that there were no enemies at the top of the tree, but that no one could enter under normal circumstances. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that the reason why he could enter last time was probably because of the Demon Bible stele on his back. At that time, he was only carrying this thing, and it had unknown abilities…

After realizing this, Sareth naturally had to bring this stele with him when he returned to the Qliphoth. He felt that the demon lord named Urizen was definitely up to something in growing this tree. His goal had to be the fruit.

In that case, Sareth certainly would not let Urizen succeed. He decided to complete his offering summoning ritual before Urizen could pluck the fruit and use the fruit as an offering to summon his foster father, Roy.

After all, if he missed this fruit, he did not know when he would be able to collect enough offerings to summon Roy. It could be said that this was the only chance at the moment, and it was hard to give it up. But it’s up to me if neither Dante nor Nero can defeat Urizen! Sareth though. Nero treats me well, so I have to help them solve this problem. Hmph. When Foster Father comes and kills that bastard Urizen, I’ll see if that guy Dante still dares to call me brat again… While thinking happily, Sareth moved forward carefully. An intruder like him naturally quickly attracted the attention of the demon parasitizing the Qliphoth, so he did not get far before the attack arrived.

But at present, most of the demons attacking Sareth were only low-rank demons, and he dealt with them easily.

Just as mentioned before, the interior of the tree was enormous. This massive tree had emerged from the center of Red Grave City, which meant that it had devoured most of the city center. Some broken human buildings kept appearing on the path that Sareth was taking, making it difficult to tell whether this place was in the city or among the trees. Then… Then Sareth became lost…
