Game world survival starts from Resident Evil 2

Chapter 480 The Demon Sword Cult’s Round Table Meeting

"What's wrong with him!?" Li You asked Dante.

Why does Nero look like he's going berserk? This shouldn't be the case!

Dante spread his hands: "Who knows? I guess it's probably the Yama Sword that stimulated the blood in his body to awaken early, but the mark left by the previous owner of the sword is too heavy, which has affected his spirit to a certain extent."

"He probably can't recognize who is who now, and his mind is full of his own obsessions. You should be careful too."

As he was talking, Nero had already raised his sword, ignored Li You, and rushed directly towards Dante!

"Swish--!!" The Yama Sword flashed and chopped down in an instant!

Dante was very calm, raised his rebellion to simply block it, and then withdrew and retreated quickly, avoiding the sharp edge of the Yama Sword. Li You then asked: "You said that if you snatched the Yama Blade... you can make him sober?"

Dante answered loudly while dodging Nero's attack: "I can't guarantee it, I just said it's possible!"

"The power of the Yama Blade is too strong. This kid hasn't even fully awakened his bloodline. The knife rushed into his body all of a sudden. The magic power exceeded the limit he could hold, so he became unconscious!"

If it were any other time, Li You would definitely complain about Dante being able to say such a long paragraph while fighting with Nero, but at this time he just frowned and thought quickly.

Why did Nero go berserk? His experience should not be much different from the original game...it was really the reason Dante said?

Li You remembered the details he noticed just now. Nero's coat was not damaged or bloodstained at all. Obviously, he was not injured when confronting Agnes. Compared with the serious injury and dying in the original game, this should be the biggest difference.

Could it be that, according to the development of the original plot, most of the power of the Yama Sword was used to help Nero repair his body, and the remaining part was just what he could bear, so he was safe and sound, but the Nero in this world did not suffer such a serious injury, but was stimulated by the Yama Sword and went berserk?

So, it was because I helped Nero improve his strength and led him to doubt the cult that caused the trouble?

"Tsk... why is there such an accident again!"

Li You snorted, but did not hesitate, and spoke again: "Then do it! You should know how to deal with the Yama Sword very well, right?"

"Don't force it!" Dante complained loudly after hearing it, "This kid can't use a knife at all! He just chopped it like a big sword. How do you want me to deal with this?"

"And isn't it you who should train him? You should think of a way!"

"Don't think about slacking off at this time!" Li You was a little stunned. Haven't you recognized Nero's identity?

But Dante said: "It's not that I want to be lazy, I just hate that I don't have enough magic power! Didn't you refuse to let me see before, so I fought with you!"

Li You: "?"

"You're confusing right and wrong, right? Didn't you start it first?"

What's more, Dante said that he "used all his strength" when he fought with him just now, and now Li You doesn't believe a word of "lack of magic power".

Are you kidding me?

Dante wanted to talk back, but Nero found an opportunity and slashed at him! Dante seemed to be unable to dodge, so he could only use his traitor to resist, but Nero then swung the second and third swords!

Dante retreated for a while, and when he had time, he switched his traitor to his left hand and shook his numb right arm: "This kid, he's really strong!"

"--Hey! Have you figured out a way!"

"Don't make a fuss!" Li You was annoyed, "I already have a way!"

Dante seemed determined to slack off, so he had to do it himself. So he was sending a message just now, and now he took out his smartphone, selected the projection function, and then the camera of the phone projected a ray of light blue light, outlining a figure in the air.

The person was wearing a slim white dress and had a beautiful face. It was the image of Ji Liye. She looked at Nero and said nervously:

"Nero--! Stop it, it's enough!"

As soon as the voice came out, Nero was stunned, and the Yama Sword that was about to stab Dante's chest also stopped in mid-air. He turned his head stiffly and looked over here, and the red in his pupils faded: "Ji Li...Ye?"

"Nero! It's okay, you've done a good job!" Ji Liye's tone was heartbroken, "Take a break, don't take everything on yourself!"

"Ji Liye..." Nero murmured and turned around and walked towards this side.

But then, a hand grabbed Nero's wrist, twisted it slightly, and captured him, and the Yama Sword also fell out of his hand.

Dante raised his foot and kicked, and the Yama Sword spun and flew towards Li You: "Take it first!"

Li You raised his hand to catch it. As soon as he got the sword in his hand, he felt the terrifying magic power contained in it, which was even inferior to his own Blood Undying Slash.

"... Is this 30% of Sparta's strength?"

He can only use "terrifying" to evaluate this.

Over there, after being restrained by Dante and taking away the Yama Sword, the shadow of the demon behind Nero disappeared, and the blood-red color in his eyes also faded immediately. The whole person softened and fell to the ground.

It was Dante who grabbed his wrist that prevented Nero from really collapsing to the ground.

Seeing Nero fall, Dante pretended to be frightened and patted his chest: "It was a close call. I thought I was going to be stabbed in the chest again."

Li You: You just said "again", right? And have you been cowardly enough?

But he didn't say anything. He looked at Jillie in the video and nodded, then put away his phone and went forward to help Nero up: "Looking at him like this, it seems that he won't wake up for a while. I'll find a place for him to rest. What about you?"

Dante looked indifferent, but still said: "I'm free anyway, I'll go with you, the knife is still in your hand."

Li You was too lazy to complain, helped Nero up and walked out.

...

Soon after, the new church headquarters.

In the spacious hall near the top floor, the cadres of the church were meeting around the round table.

Credo was reporting the current situation of the church, and the fully recovered Pope Sankodos sat in the main seat and listened quietly. At the round table, Gloria also sat there with a frivolous attitude.

"...This is the current situation."

After reporting to the cadres gathered at the round table, Credo sat down in his seat with a straight posture.

He reported on the current management problems of the Order, the profile of the remaining members of the Knights, and the most concerned issue of everyone, the capture of Dante.

After the previous chaos, the Order is now in chaos, which is well known to everyone. Fortunately, Pope Sancottos had anticipated and arranged this, so they were not panicked, thinking that this was all part of the Pope's plan.

The problem still lies with Dante.

For this legendary demon hunter, the Pope gave a death order to capture him alive.

The Pope did not explain the reason, but most people thought it was natural. In any case, Dante shot the Pope in public, and the Order must respond, otherwise their rule will soon fall apart.

As for the top leaders of the Order, they all know Dante. They know that Dante is a legendary demon hunter, and they also know that he has opened an office engaged in "special services".

When Dante's traces were first discovered, some people in the Order proposed to invite him to Fortuna to worship him as a living son of God.

But later, after secretly observing Dante for a while, the Sword Cult gave up the plan.

As for why? The reason is obvious.

- Dante is too human and does not meet the religious needs of the Cult at all.

But the Cult did not expect that they "let Dante go" at that time, and now Dante took the initiative to find the door. Now, the two sides have been forced to become a life-and-death relationship.

And at this time, the most critical task of capturing Dante was carried out by Nero... that Nero.

Nero is also a celebrity in the Cult. He is regarded as a brother and right-hand man by Credo, and his personal strength is also outstanding in the Knights.

On the other hand, everyone has heard about his personality problems. Otherwise, with Nero's strength, contribution, and Credo's identity and influence, he should have been granted the ascension ceremony and become a member of the true core of the Cult.

So now, the cadres of the cult can't help but worry. Can Nero, who hasn't even performed the ascension ceremony, really capture Dante?

Dante's strength is obvious to all. He is the biological son of the magic swordsman Sparda, who is worshipped as a god by the Magic Sword Cult, and like his father, he sealed the demon king who attempted to revive. With such an identity and deeds, it is enough to show that Dante's power is extraordinary.

Even if those are just legends, Dante easily killed all the elite knights of the cult in the theater, which is a fact in front of us.

Therefore, the cadres looked very solemn, and they were even more afraid that they would be sent to deal with Dante.

However, Credo actually had other plans for the plan to capture Dante, so he didn't want to pay attention to the concerns of these cadres at all. After confirming that everyone had no objection, Credo turned to the next agenda.

"Then, the following is about the future personnel allocation..."

Suddenly, there was a muffled "bang" sound from behind, and the door was pushed open. Everyone turned around and saw that it was Agnas who rushed in with a face full of anger, with a thick bandage on his left hand, staring at Credo in exasperation.

"... Credo! You, you, you, you bastard!"

Credo frowned, but didn't intend to pay attention. Agnas, this bastard, always stirs up trouble, but today Credo didn't respond to his mood.

But this matter was serious after all. Agnas saw Credo turned around, and actually stepped forward and stretched out his hand to try to grab his collar, while shouting:

"Why, why, why, why didn't you tell me! What is going on here!"

Agnas's rude behavior completely angered Credo. He coldly pushed the guy's hand away and said:

"How dare you make a loud noise in front of His Holiness the Pope? This is in the round table meeting!"

But Agnas still didn't give up, pointing at Credo and saying "you, you, you" for a long time, but didn't say the rest of the words.

Seeing the two arguing again, other cadres, including Gloria, looked at Pope Sankodos. Sankodos narrowed his eyes and looked at the two people who were on edge, but did not scold them.

Agnes immediately understood that the Pope wanted him to finish his words. So he paused for a moment, sorted out his words, and then said to Credo again:

"That, that, that little devil, is a demon!"

"Which little devil?" Credo's expression was still cold.

In order to calm down, Agnes took another deep breath, and then continued:

"Then, that brat named Nero! He has evil, evil, demonic powers!"

This answer was so surprising that Credo retorted without thinking: "Absurd!"

"Absurd!? Don't take me for a fool! Isn't he one of your subordinates! That brat uttered arrogant words in the research institute and even repaired, repaired, and repaired the Yama Sword! How could he do it without the power of the devil! All of this is It's your responsibility! He took away the Demon Sword! It's all your fault!

The news came so suddenly that even Credo was stunned and other cadres were whispering.

Nero has demonic powers? Also repaired the Yan Mo Dao?

"...Credo." The one who broke the silence was Pope Sancordos himself.

"...Here." Credo turned around, only to find a subtle smile on Sancordos' face. That smile somehow made him feel unspeakable uneasiness.

"That child's name is... Nero, right? Can you bring him here?"

"If this is the hope of His Majesty the Pope..." Credo whispered.

If what Agnus said is true, then Nero cannot be allowed to wander around anymore. Credo, who had always been loyal to the Order, could not protest against this, but he also refuted it in his own way:

"If Nero is to be arrested, it will be me. But if that's the case, who will hunt Dante?"

The Pope was silent for a moment and asked: "Your previous plan was to join forces with Nero, right?"

Credo lowered his head and responded: "Yes."

Credo didn't think that Nero could capture Dante alone. His plan was for Nero to pursue him first, forcing Dante to his headquarters, and then for himself to join Nero in attacking from both sides, and then to surround him with a small team of elite knights who had completed the ascension ceremony. In this case, it is still possible to successfully capture Dante.

This plan was reported to the Pope and received his approval. But now, if Credo is allowed to arrest Nero, this plan will be completely meaningless. The two main combat forces prepared for Dante went to kill each other, and the remaining people still want to capture Dante? Go ahead and dream!

"Well..."

Pope Sancordos was stroking his long beard and also lost in thought. In terms of strength, it is true that Credo and Nero need to cooperate to be able to deal with Dante.

But in fact, after listening to Agnus' words, a guess emerged in the pope's mind.

That Nero... could he also be of Spartan blood?

He has demonic power without going through the ascension ceremony, and can repair the Yama Sword, plus that silver hair...and most importantly, his age.

Sancordos remembered another silver-haired man whom he had met in Fortuna Castle more than ten years ago.

"Could it be his..."

Thinking of this, the Pope made a decision in his heart, but did not speak. Without his opinion, others naturally did not dare to say more, and the venue fell into silence again.

Credo had his own calculations in mind.

He believed that it would be unwise to abandon Dante and capture Nero in this case. It was not clear whether Agnus's words were true or false.

Nero did not undergo a death ceremony, so it is nonsense to have demonic power. If he was possessed by a demon, he would have gone crazy. So Credo didn't believe what Agnas said.

Nero knew nothing about the technical bureau area under Fortuna Castle, and had never met Agnus. It was very likely that he used some strange moves to attack Agnus and beat this gloomy guy. The ground was full of teeth, so he got angry and ran to the Pope to make up random things.

Of course, Credo actually knew that this explanation was somewhat too subjective and one-sided, but he actually regarded Nero as his biological brother, so he would naturally defend it as much as possible.

In any case, Dante should be controlled first before Nero. Now it's up to you to join Nero and fight against Dante!

But just as he was about to propose this idea to Sancordos, someone stood up in front of the round table.

"Then let me hunt down Dante."

Everyone turned to look, but it was Gloria.

She was the only person among the cadre who was not from Fortuna. She suddenly appeared a month ago and donated several precious magic weapons to Sancordos. As a reward, the Pope promoted her to the position of cadre of the order - a story that other cadres heard.

After listening to Gloria's words, Sancordos showed a meaningful smile on his face:

"...Oh, Gloria. Can you do this?"

Gloria smiled and replied: "I am happy to serve His Majesty the Pope. I will not let you down."

Credo obviously had objections to this, but Sancordos had already made up his mind, so he nodded in approval.

Gloria immediately stood up and saluted, then walked towards the exit with swaying steps. After taking two steps, she suddenly turned around, looked at Sancordos, and said:

"...It is so good to see that the Pope is safe and sound. The gods must be protecting you."

Gloria bowed her head respectfully and then left the conference room.

"...Is this good?" Credo couldn't help but ask.

Of course, he didn't trust Gloria.

"It's okay... That woman brought us the magic sword Sparta, which made our plan make great progress. Let her go now." The Pope looked calm.

Credo frowned: "But... that woman is almost a stranger to us, so she is not worthy of trust!"

He couldn't help but think, did Sancordos think that Gloria was stronger than him and even capable of capturing Dante on his own?

Sankodos said nonchalantly: "If she betrays us, then just eliminate her, don't worry. Moreover, I already know her true identity..."

Immediately, the Pope looked at Credo again: "Compared with this, you only need to think about how to catch Nero. The Yama Sword is a necessity for the plan. Because of this, this task can only be entrusted to you. You can do it "Yes, Credo?"

Credo was silent for a while, then replied in a low voice: "...As you command."

After he saluted, he also walked out.

Go prepare for the mission to capture Nero.

Although he had no choice but to build the pope's ideal paradise... For this reason, Credo did not allow himself to be confused. He could not let down the trust of Pope Sancordos.

Credo walked away with heavy steps, but he couldn't help but think in his heart, what would happen if Ji Liye knew these things?

Fortunately, after arriving at the headquarters early this morning, she had been safely protected. At least she would not see herself and Nero killing each other in the end.

"...Is my choice really the right one?" Credo asked himself in his heart.

After he left, the meeting in the Round Table Hall continued.

The Pope called Agnus to his side and asked: "...Do you think Credo can win?"

Agnus hesitated for a moment: "This, this is difficult to say accurately. Because K, K, Credo is also quite powerful..."

Despite the discord, Agnus still has a high opinion of Credo's strength, which is his basic quality as a researcher.

"But that kid named Nero also has a lot of unknowns about his power. Bi, bi, after all, he has repaired the Yama Demon Sword..."

Sankodos said thoughtfully, "So, do you have any foolproof plan?"

This question undoubtedly showed the Pope's meaning: he was not optimistic about Credo's victory. After thinking for a while, Agnus recalled a name mentioned by Nero.

"T-so... Nero seems to have a special relationship with Credo's sister. He mentioned her name many times before."

Upon hearing this, Sancordos remained silent, showed a meaningful smile, and said nothing more.

However, Agnus already understood what the Pope meant, so he bowed his head respectfully and left the round table conference room like Credo.

But the destination he headed for was a large square where the citizens of Fortuna gathered to take refuge.

At the same time, in Fortuna Castle, the city lord was in his bedroom.

"——Ji Liye!!"

Nero, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes, sat up, and gasped for air.

He looked around. The coat was taken off and hung aside, wearing only the inner lining. The Azure Rose and Crimson Queen were leaning against the bed.

"here it is……?"

"Are you awake?" A familiar voice came. Nero looked up and it was indeed Li You.

Li You sat casually at the small table in the room, with a cup of black tea in his hand, and said, "You have been sleeping for a long time. Do you feel any discomfort in your body?"

Nero looked down at his hands and said, "I seem to have had a dream."

"There was a man who was whispering 'power' in my ear, and there was Ji Liye and Credo. I dreamed about them... ugh!"

Nero was so excited that he opened the quilt and wanted to get out of bed: "I have to go back to the headquarters of the Order to see Credo and Jilie!"

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry yet."

Li You was not in a hurry, and even picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "You need to rest now to recover your physical strength and magic power, otherwise there will be no point in going back."

"But Ji Liye..."

"He's right, kid." Another voice sounded, and Nero tensed up instinctively and turned his head to look.

The door to the room was pushed open, and Dante, wearing a red coat and carrying a rebellious sword, walked in.

"In your current state, no matter where you go, you will only get beaten and you can't do anything."

"It's you...why are you here?" Nero stared at Dante warily, but after looking at the leisurely posture of Li You next to him, he realized something: "Have you guys talked?"

Dante smiled: "My mind is spinning very fast! You should know this, right? The top leaders of the Demon Sword Order are not good people. I am specifically here to destroy them this time."

"So just rest and I will go to the headquarters of the Order first." With that said, Dante turned and left.

"Wait!!" Nero shouted, reaching out his hand to stop him, but he stumbled and almost fell down.

Fortunately, Li You arrived at his side at some point, supported him, and said, "You sit down for a while, and I'll go talk to him."

He helped Nero back onto the bed and followed Dante out of the room.

Although Nero wanted to chase him out, his physical condition did not allow it, so he could only take a breath for the time being.

Li You followed Dante outside and stood next to the stairs. The two looked at each other for a moment, and Li You took out the Yan Mo Dao: "What are you going to do with this thing?"

For Nero in Devil May Cry 4, the Yama Sword is his key prop to unlock the demon form and cannot be missed. But with Nero's current state, Li You is really worried that he will lose control again if he picks up the Yama Demon Sword.

And Dante said: "You must also know that this knife is what my deceased brother left behind. It can separate the human world and the demon world. It is very dangerous and crucial."

"I can't give something like this to an unreliable person, so..."

Dante said, turning to look at Li You, "So, let me keep this knife with you for now."

Li You raised his eyebrows, this time he was really surprised: "Me?"

Dante smiled: "That's you. I've seen your strength. Although I don't know what your intentions are, I can also see that you are not that kind of bad person. What's more, you said at the beginning that you would Are we companions?"

"I originally planned to give this knife to that kid for the time being, but he is really not suitable to hold it now. So I will keep it for you first, and then give it to him when the time is right."

Li You also smiled: "Then you really think highly of me, aren't you afraid that the Yan Mo Sword will be snatched away by the cult in my hand?"

Dante laughed loudly when he heard this: "You tell a good joke! Unless you really want to give it to them, the cult can't take away what you have, right?"

With that said, he didn't wait for Li You to answer, turned around and waved his hand: "Then I'll go ahead and see you at the sect headquarters."

Li You didn't say anything, but there was a noise at the door behind him, and Nero chased him out.

"...Hey, wait! There are innocent people in the cult! You can't..." Nero struggled and said, leaning against the door frame.

"Don't worry, little kid." Dante didn't look back, but replied distantly, "I won't kill innocent people indiscriminately. You should have a good rest first, otherwise even if you want to stop me, you won't be able to do it!"

As he spoke, he put his hands behind his head, hummed a tune and left.

Nero looked at his back and was silent for a moment, but Dante's voice came up again:

"Hey kid! Tell me your name."

Nero was stunned, but still answered: "...My name is Nero. You are Dante, right? The name is not bad."

Dante laughed twice when he heard this and walked away completely.

"Be careful yourself, Nero!"
