Under Silas' suggestion, Nero seemed to open the door to a new world...

From this day on, a strange combination of four people appeared in the Red Tomb City, V, Nero, Silas, and of course, Nicole, Nicole came together as a logistical support, because the next period of time , Nero intends to hunt demons in the Red Tomb City to enhance his strength.

Although he was beaten completely by Yuri Zeng, Nero and V also realized that Yuri Zeng seemed unwilling to leave the Tree of Reverse Kabbalah. He seemed to be assisting the Tree of Reverse Kabbalah to absorb blood and soul, so that he could be better Let the fruit ripen quickly, since Yuri never came out, then Nero and V can safely deal with those demons who left the tree of Kabbalah and came out to prey.

The human military is still arguing fiercely about whether to use powerful nuclear weapons to attack the Tree of Reverse Kabbalah, but human non-governmental organizations have already begun to act one after another. Some demon hunter organizations like Dante Nero, constantly Appearing in the Red Tomb City, they are also hunting demons and monsters. Although these demon hunters are not like Dante and Nero, who have demon blood and can use magic power, they can rely on the guns, bows and crossbows in their hands. The machete has achieved good hunting results. After all, those who are responsible for preying on humans are basically low-level demons and monsters. In the face of these low-level demons and monsters, human weapons are still very useful.

It's just that the purpose of these demon hunter organizations is not necessarily pure. There may be a lofty purpose of defending human beings, but more is to obtain the organs and objects of demons. The materials of these demons can often be Selling for big bucks on the black market...

Nero and his team also encountered several demon hunter organizations along the way, but Nero usually chooses to avoid contact with each other... In fact, no matter whether it is Dante or Nero, they will generally try their best to Do you want to avoid showing your demonic power in front of ordinary people? So when Silas noticed Nero's thoughts, he felt very strange and asked Nero, "Why is this?"

"I just don't want to be treated as a monster..." Nero replied casually.

"But you are obviously stronger than those people? What is the reason for the strong to fear the weak?" Silas was very puzzled.

"Humans are social animals? But when they find that there is an incomprehensible person in their group, they will regard him as a different kind and reject him in turn..." V took the lead and explained: "Nero is just I just don’t want to be rejected by humans.”

"What a strange behavior..." Silas scratched his hair and frowned, "It's totally incomprehensible."

Such a concept? It is completely different from the concept that Silas came into contact with in the abyss world. The devil's concept is that the more powerful the existence, the more worthy of respect and awe? What Silas has accepted since childhood? Is this the same concept? So when he was close to Dante and Nero? Apart from the fact that they had the same half-devil blood as him? It was also because Dante and Nero were stronger than him? After getting the opportunity, he would unconsciously move toward the stronger Those who move closer.

So he can't understand Nero's current behavior at all...

There is a generation gap between him and Nero, and Nero also feels that there is a generation gap between himself and Silas, because in the recent days of hunting demons, Silas has also taken action? Attacking those demons without mercy? Executioner Scythe wielding? Killing demons is a snap.

"Sylas? Aren't you also from the abyss world? Why is there no psychological burden to kill demons?" Nero finally couldn't help asking during the rest time after a hunt.

"Huh? What psychological burden?" Silas was stunned by this question and said, "Isn't this normal? Demons and demons will also kill each other!"

"What does Nero mean? Between demons and demons, there is no concept of the same kind?" Nicole interjected and asked.

"No way..." Silas tilted his head and thought for a while: "Although there is cooperation between demons, but the foster father said that it is more of a relationship between superiors and subordinates. A powerful demon rules a weak demon. It's a matter of course... After all, is it true that humans don't kill each other?"

"Uh..." Both Nicole and Nero were stuck, they didn't know how to answer this question.

Yes, even though they have the same kind of concept, it is not uncommon for people to kill each other, and even this kind of fighting seems to be worse than killing demons in moral terms...

Similar dialogues appear between Nero and Silas every day, making both parties aware of the conflict of ideas with each other, but this does not prevent them from hunting demons.

Half a month has passed, and the group of four has hunted and killed nearly a thousand demons during this period of time. However, the number of demons in the entire Red Tomb City has not decreased, but has increased faintly.

This may be caused by Yuri's constant summoning of demons from the Demon Realm in the Tree of Reverse Kabbalah. The increasing number of demons did not have much impact on Nero and the others, but for those demon hunter organizations, The impact is a bit big. Although these demon hunters can hunt low-level demons and monsters, their number is much smaller than that of demons. Once they accidentally provoke more demons than they can deal with, it will often lead to huge disasters. casualties.

So in the past half month, the number of demon hunter organizations encountered by everyone has become less and less, but the number of military troops has increased.

Razing a city with a nuclear bomb is easy, but once the Red Tomb City is destroyed, hundreds of thousands or even millions of civilians will become homeless. How to resettle so many refugees is the most difficult question. What's more, the whole world is now paying attention to the Devil's Tree that appeared in Red Tomb City. Any excessive action by the military will be seen by countless people, and the consequences of a carelessness may be scolded. You will never be able to stand up... So after the debate, the military still thinks that it is better not to use nuclear bombs as much as possible.

Fortunately, after so many days of observation, humans have also discovered that the huge demon tree has not changed much. Although demons continue to appear from the tree to hunt humans, the harm seems to be... that's all?

So in the end, the military sent a large number of troops into Red Tomb City to wipe out the demons. This approach was very effective. They once reduced the demon's hunting range by a large circle.

But the closer you get to the range of the Tree of Reverse Kabbalah, the more demons you will encounter, so gradually the advance of the military troops will be greatly hindered, and there will be a lot of gunfire every day. Similarly, every day There were also a large number of soldier casualties.

It seems that some progress has been made, but both Nero and Nicole realized that this might be done on purpose by the demons. After all, many civilians have already fled, and these human soldiers who keep entering have become the demons. The Tree of Reverse Kabbalah provides the main object of blood. Simply put, this is a trap that lures humans to send people to die...

However, knowing that it was a trap, Nero and the others could do nothing in the face of this situation. It was impossible for them to find the military commander and let them evacuate, right? They don't know Nero at all, so how could they listen to them?

"So... we still have to solve the root cause as soon as possible!" Nero looked at the huge Reversed Kabbalah tree, and sighed, "But my strength is not enough... I don't know what happened to Dante and Lady Tracy. , in case they are really dead, then I..."

"Don't worry!" Nicole patted Nero on the shoulder and said, "You have to believe that that man will not die so easily. He held it, but it was a weapon made for him by my grandmother... let's not talk too much Come here and help me debug it."

In addition to hunting demons and then devouring their souls to enhance their magic power, Nicole has been using the materials obtained from those dead demons to make weapons for Nero these days. Nicole plans to make weapons for Nero. A prosthetic arm allows his right hand to recover its combat power, but pure technological materials are not compatible with magic power, so it can only be replaced by materials such as devil horns or devil bones.

The right wrist prosthesis made by Nicole is still in the debugging stage, and it is not useful for the time being. Similarly, although Nero's magic power has increased, he still feels that it is not enough.

"Here you are!" V came back, looking panting. A huge black demonic crow was parked on his shoulder. The corner of the crow's mouth was still stained with purple blood. After panting for a while, V stretched out his hand towards the Nero handed out two jet-black soul light clusters, and said, "Two of them were killed..."

"Are you participating in the battle again?" Nero took the soul light group, frowned and said to V: "Is your body okay?"

"It's okay, I can still hold it..." V closed his eyes and leaned against the car door to rest, while the black demon crow on his shoulder laughed at this moment: "Hehehe, isn't it? This guy almost died just now." dead..."

"Shut up! Griffin!" V reprimanded.

The demonic crow named Griffin let out a sly laugh, and stopped talking.

"Hurry up and eat!" V said to Nero: "Silas is still hunting on the other side, and he may bring back more later."

Nero held these two soul light clusters, looked at the dark light, and sighed: "To be honest, I really don't want to devour the souls of these demons. This kind of dark light makes me very uncomfortable. Comfortable, every time I swallow them, I will feel the blood of the devil in my body is agitated... By the way, if such a soul eats too much, I won't become a real devil, right?"

"Who knows? We have no choice now." V replied.

Thinking of Dante whose life and death are unknown, Nero didn't say much. He gritted his teeth and stuffed the two souls into his mouth, and then felt the two souls become a thin stream of magic power in his body and merged into his body...

Silas's suggestion to Nero is of course well-intentioned, but he, who doesn't know much about souls, doesn't understand one thing: the devil's soul is an "evil soul", and such a soul contains With too much negative power, it might be fine for a pure demon to eat it, but if a half-devil like Nero eats too many evil souls, it may not be a good thing...
