Chapter 110 Virgil: Insufficient preparation prevented his brother from having a good time.
The middle level of the Magic Tower.
Li Engang walked to the door leading to the upper level and observed the statues on both sides.
The statue holds a long sword standing in a niche, with each blade inserted into a stone base and a head embedded at the end of the hilt.
The left head glowed with a bluish light, while the right head emitted dark red sparks.
The statues standing on the left and right sides suddenly spoke, and the mouths on both heads moved at the same time.
The red statue on the right spoke first: "Brother, it's been a long time since we've met you."
The blue statue on the left added, "I see, it really is a guest."
"Guests must be welcomed with great fanfare."
"That's right, we should give them a proper welcome."
"But how can we demonstrate our enthusiasm?"
"I don't know, what do you think we should do?"
"How about we sing a song together?"
"No, that alone can't show our enthusiasm."
The two heads spoke one after the other, their voices bouncing back and forth in the room, hitting the walls and bouncing back, overlapping with new sentences, making one's head buzz.
Li En immediately drew his two guns, fired them from both sides, and pulled the triggers.
Bang bang bang.
The flash of the pistol simultaneously illuminated the two mouths still chattering in the niches on either side, as the bullet struck the stone base beneath their feet, sending stone chips flying.
Both of them shut their mouths at the same time.
"Brother, the customer seems a little dissatisfied."
"Yes, the guest seems angry."
After a round of shooting, the two statues were still chatting.
Li En tilted his head slightly, his voice filled with obvious impatience: "Go ahead and fight, I want to go up."
"That won't do, sir. Our mission is to guard this place and absolutely not let anyone up there."
"Brother is right."

Click, click.
The stone shell on the surface of the statue has begun to peel off.
Cracks spread from the top of his head to his chin, and large chunks of stone peeled off, revealing the metallic blade underneath.
The stone base in the niche shattered at the same moment, and two knives sprang out from the stone wall. The blades flipped half a circle in the air and landed in the hands of two demon bodies that had completely broken free from their petrified state.
One was red and the other was green. Their heads were attached to the ends of the sword hilts, and their bodies were the arms and torsos that gripped the swords. They held long swords that were connected to the hilts.
These two are Agni and Rudra, who come from hell.
The red Agni possesses the power of fire, while the blue Rudra controls the wind.
Agni made the first move.
He stepped forward with his right foot, twisted his waist sharply, and swept his long sword horizontally.
Dark red flames erupted from the blade, trailing along the edge in a curved arc.
The high temperature caused the air around the blade to distort and deform, making the entire field of vision tremble as if it were placed above a furnace.
Li En jumped back to dodge, and just as his shoes left the ground, a sharp whooshing sound came from above.
Rudra had already leaped into the air.
The cyan blade was enveloped in a rapidly spinning airflow. Before the blade even fell, the whirlwind around it had already whipped up all the gravel on the ground.
It slashed down fiercely directly above Li En's head.
Li En's body was currently suspended in mid-air after jumping backward, his old strength exhausted and new strength yet to be generated.
His right leg suddenly bent, his calf muscles tensing to their limit in the instant of the bend, and then he stomped hard into the air.
A dull thud exploded from the sole of his foot, and the force of his foot striking the air generated a real recoil, pushing his body to the side.
Lou Tuoluo's longsword slashed down just past the outside of Li En's shoulder.
The wind blades wrapped around the blade touched the ground before the blade itself, tearing the stone slab apart. The rubble flew into the air and was then swept up by the whirlwind attached to the blade, splashing towards Li En.
Each piece of gravel has a speed and kinetic energy comparable to a large-caliber bullet.
Li En drew a circle with his right hand, and the Rebellious Greatsword slid from the spatial storage into his palm.
He gripped the hilt of the sword and began to spin it at high speed, the blade transforming into a silver fan that deflected all the incoming pebbles.
The pebbles struck the rapidly spinning sword and were instantly pulverized upon contact, exploding into a cloud of grayish-white stone mist in front of him.
Before the mist had even dissipated, an extremely hot aura surged around me.
Li En immediately raised his left hand, and the ebony appeared in his palm. Without even aiming, he pulled the trigger, pointing the gun at the blind spot on his left side.
boom.
The bullet grazed Agni's blade and struck his wrist where he was holding the sword.
The demon's gauntlets sparked from the bullet impact, its attack rhythm abruptly interrupted, and it staggered back two steps.
The two demons worked together in perfect harmony.
Each time one attacks, the other will strike the moment Li En finishes dodging and before his old strength is replenished.
Lou Tuoluo pressed down from above, while Agni blocked from the side. The intervals between their attacks were almost seamless, keeping Li En pinned down in a constant defensive posture with no window for counterattack.
They are extremely fast and quite strong.
What's more troublesome is that fire and wind combine together after the attack spreads.
After Agni's wall of fire is caught in Rudra's whirlwind, it can turn into a roaring fire tornado within half a second, covering a small part of the room.
Moreover, the wind force of this tornado can cut cracks in the ground, comparable to that of swords.
The ensuing flames instantly vaporized the rocks blown up by the wind, causing them to disappear.
If Li En were hit, even with his body possessing demonic blood, he would likely be severely injured.
Fortunately, the room was big enough to provide ample space to hide.
Using the body's powerful explosive force, Li En continuously stomped and changed direction on the walls, under the ceiling, and in mid-air.
Each time the toes touch any surface that can provide leverage, the body can change direction in the next instant, dodging a series of combined attacks that almost completely block all escape routes.
But the rhythm was always firmly in the hands of the two demons.
He could only passively take the beating.
After another round of attacks, Li En was forced into the corner of the room.
The two demons, one on the left and one on the right, blocked all escape routes.
This time they did not intend to rotate attacks again.
The two attacked simultaneously, sealing off all escape routes within the area.
Lou Tuoluo leaped into the air, his blade carrying a fierce gust of wind, his entire body and the blade transforming into a massive, downward-pressing blue wave.
The wind pressure had already enveloped the entire corner before the blade even fell.
The pressure forced Li En's shoulders down, and his knees involuntarily bent.
Almost simultaneously, Agni's fire blade swept across from the side, dark red flames spreading along the ground, completely blocking his escape route.
Just as the flames and gale were about to touch his body, Li En pressed himself directly to the ground.
Agni's sweeping air passed over his head, the scorching heat leaving scorch marks on the back of his coat.
When Rudra saw this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
His brother's sweeping attack was indeed dodged, but it was a downward smash, which would have been impossible for someone lying on the ground to avoid.
Finally, they managed to stop the guest who was trying to break into the tower.
The moment the thought crossed his mind, a sharp, tingling sensation shot through his hand.
With a loud clang, his downward slash struck a blade that was slashing horizontally from the side.
The two swords collided violently in mid-air, but the flames and wind did not merge into a fire tornado as they had done in countless previous collaborations.
Instead, they tear each other apart, repel each other, and explode.
The shockwave spread outward from the point where the blades collided, pushing both demons back several steps, their chests gaping open, their sword-wielding arms going numb.
Lee En sprang up from the ground, propelled himself forward with his legs, and instantly slashed in front of Agni, who was bracing himself on one leg, his body wide open and staggering backward.
The Rebellion Greatsword was already in his right hand, its tip aimed at the center of Agni's stone chest, and he thrust it in.
The blade pierced through the breastplate and emerged from the back.
He twisted his wrist holding the sword sharply, arched his body, and kicked hard at the end of the sword hilt with his right foot.
The sword churned violently inside Agni's chest cavity, shredding the stone structure inside, along with the still-beating demon core, into dust.
Using the power of the Rebellion Greatsword, Li En charged towards the Lou Tuo Luo in the sky.
The nunchaku appeared in Cebras's hand, its shaft radiating an icy blue aura.
He launched a frenzied attack on Rudra, who was still waving his arms in the air and whose body had completely lost its balance.
The two ends of the three-section staff struck Lou Tuo Luo's chest, shoulders, and abdomen in succession, each blow accompanied by piercing frost magic.
White mist quickly rose from the point of impact, solidifying into solid ice on the carapace surface, layer upon layer.
A moment later, Rudra's entire body turned into an ice sculpture and fell from mid-air.
The ice sculpture shattered the moment it touched the ground, sending shards of ice and stone fragments flying in all directions.
Li En, who had been passively taking hits, guided the two demons to collide their attacks, thus gaining an opportunity to counterattack.
The battle ended in an instant.
He walked over to the two knives that still had heads attached.
The demon's body had been shattered, but its head, which served as the hilt of the sword, was still embedded directly above the hilt, and the mouths of both heads could still move.
Agni quickly opened his mouth, speaking twice as fast as during the fight: "You're strong, take us with you."
Lou Tuoluo followed up, his voice squeezing out from the throat at the end of the hilt: "We brothers will be your help."
.
Li En walked over and reached out, attempting to store the pair of demonic swords into his spatial storage.
The light screen popped up, indicating that storage had failed.
It is not standard equipment and may be classified as an independent consciousness.
He squinted, staring at the two red-glowing heads at the end of the hilt.
If the head is destroyed, will the wind and fire properties of these two swords also disappear?
However, without these special properties, there's no point in having them; the light wheel material isn't any better than vibranium.
He seemed to be watching very intently, so intently that Agni's head, which was hovering over the hilt of the sword, involuntarily shrank back a little.
It spoke quickly, its tone much more urgent than before: "We didn't unleash our full power just now!"
Rudraksha followed closely: "Only when we are held by truly powerful people can we unleash our full potential!"
Both heads shouted simultaneously, "Take us with you!"
Li En thought about it and realized that there really weren't many empty spaces left in the space warehouse.
This time, entering the dungeon, the difficulty of Devil May Cry is completely different from the previous Resident Evil series.
Conventional firearms are useless here, and grenades are pointless.
He unloaded all the equipment from the space warehouse into the restroom stall beforehand, leaving only the Requiem with its special abilities and the Vibranium Dagger.
But in such a short time, the compartment already contains ebony and white ivory, the Rebellion Greatsword, and that shotgun with abnormally high power.
There are only nine squares in total, and six of them are already occupied.
Ebony and white ivory each occupy one compartment.
These twin swords of wind and fire are indeed quite powerful; you can try carrying them out when you finish the game.
He stated directly, "There are conditions for taking you away."
Agni's eyes returned to their original position: "What are the conditions?"
"Don't speak."
"Why are you not allowed to speak?" Rudra asked immediately.
Li En raised his right hand, and the Rebellion Greatsword slid from the spatial storage into his palm, its blade reflecting a cold light in the dim light of the room.
Both heads simultaneously pursed their lips into a straight line.
Li En slowly pressed the Rebellion Greatsword down towards them, and even the red light in the two guys' eyes stopped.
He paused the greatsword in mid-air, waited a moment to make sure that the two mouths would not utter another word, and then satisfied, he put the greatsword back into his spatial storage.
Then stretch out both hands, grasp the handles of the two knives, lift them off the ground, and cross them over your back.
He went up a few more floors and went through three trials before obtaining Artemis's crossbow.
The crossbow body is made of an unknown dark purple metal, and the grip has an extremely perfect curve that fits the palm of the hand.
Two pale blue energy cores, still slowly rotating, are embedded on either side of the crossbow arm.
This crossbow can fire tracking lasers without arrows. Once the trigger is pulled, the beam will automatically lock onto the demon target within the line of sight, curving in the air to chase and strike the target.
Its range is also very long.
Li En stuffed it directly into the space storage, leaving only two empty slots.
This time, in order to guarantee a minimum, we must leave two slots open.
The Yamato in Virgil's hand, and a possible sample of a demon's body.
You must take these two items no matter what; everything else can be left behind in this instance.
Li En did not linger in the trial level.
He accelerated immediately and sprinted all the way to the upper levels of the Magic Tower.
A new hellish demon, Greed, has appeared on this floor.
Their appearance was unlike any of the demons they had encountered before.
It does not carry a sickle, does not use a bow and arrow, and has no sharp teeth or claws.
They were holding a coffin in their hands, the coffin being about the same height as their bodies, the wooden planks covered with dark patterns.
Upon seeing Li En, the greedy men immediately raised the coffin and threw it at him.
The weight of the coffin itself, combined with the force of the demon lifting it, caused a dent in the stone slab when it hit the ground.
But they were too slow; they tried to grab it several times but couldn't even touch the hem of Li En's coat.
After confirming that physical attacks were ineffective, the greedy group collectively changed their strategy and simultaneously smashed the coffin upright onto the ground in front of them.
The coffin lid popped open, and a large cloud of black smoke billowed out.
The moment the black smoke landed, it coalesced into the arrogance, lust, and wrath of the other hellish demons encountered in the previous levels.
Skeleton minions, red hunters, and bomb demons poured out of the coffins, densely filling the entire hall.
In an instant, all that remained in Li En's vision was a churning, rolling sea of black and gray soldiers, and countless dark red dots in their eye sockets.
Li En reached behind his back and took out the Wind and Fire Twin Blades.
With his left hand gripping Lou Tuoluo's cyan wind blade, the blade vibrated automatically upon sensing his grip, and the cyan head at the end of the hilt emitted a low whooshing sound.
He swung his blade fiercely at the large group of demons in front of him, and a tornado roared out from the blade, lifting the dozen or so skeleton minions in the front row, along with several red hunters behind them, off the ground at the same time.
They tumbled and collided with each other in the air, their skeletons scattered all over the ground.
At the same instant, he exerted force with his right foot, his body cutting straight into the front of a greedy creature that was opening its coffin lid, preparing to summon a second wave of reinforcements.
He thrust his right-hand fire knife horizontally into the opponent's abdomen.
The dark red flames clinging to the blade erupted the moment they touched the demon's internal organs, spreading outwards from the greedy body.
It spewed out from its chest, abdomen, open mouth, and eye sockets simultaneously, turning its entire body to ashes within seconds.
The coffin lost its support, and the wooden planks shattered into charred fragments scattered on the ground.
At the moment of Greed's death, the other demons summoned from its coffin simultaneously turned into black smoke.
Along with the sickles they hadn't yet swung, and the bomb pustules they hadn't yet detonated, they all vanished into the air.
Li En swept the wind blade horizontally from left to right, blowing away the remaining struggling soldiers, and then crossed the two blades and inserted them back into his back.
He looked up at the last step leading to the top of the tower, and then stepped up.
The platform at the top of the tower.
The sky was gray.
Heavy rain, like goose feathers, pelted down from the depths of the clouds. The raindrops were dense on the stone slabs at the top of the tower, creating a layer of constantly dancing water droplets. The accumulated water flowed in all directions along the cracks in the stone.
The fierce wind swept across the platform without any cover, bringing rain that lashed against the face with such force that it disrupted one's breathing rhythm.
Virgil stood at the other end of the platform, holding the Yamato sword in front of him with both hands, the end of the scabbard resting in the water on the stone slab.
His blue coat fluttered wildly in the strong wind, its collar slapping against the back of his neck, yet he remained perfectly still.
He tilted his head slightly, looking at the churning dark cloud in the sky, raindrops streaming down his nose and chin without him even blinking.
Virgil didn't turn around and speak until Li En reached the top of the tower and stopped about ten meters away from him.
"You've arrived."
His gaze fell on Li En, scrutinizing Dante's face, his brows furrowing slightly.
Lee En was also sizing up Virgil.
His gaze moved down from the other man's sharp eyes, past the fingers gripping the hilt of the Yamato sword, lingered for a moment on the scabbard, and then he raised his eyes again to meet Virgil's gaze.
"Should I not have come up here?"
Virgil still frowned, scrutinizing Lee En for a long while.
He didn't respond to the question, but instead said something completely unrelated to the current standoff.
"Sorry, bro, we were a bit rushed and didn't prepare everything perfectly, so you didn't get to enjoy yourself as much as you wanted."
When he was looking at Dante earlier, he noticed that his brother had a look of unfinished business on his face.
It's like being interrupted at the happiest moment.
It's like being abruptly pulled from the peak of pleasure to the very moment before the climax, and then it stops completely.
He was all too familiar with this feeling; he had experienced it many times before.
This discomfort can feel stuck in the throat and chest, making one inexplicably irritable.
He deduced that it was the trash demons guarding each floor below that prevented his brothers from having enough fun hacking and slashing.
The quantity is too small, the blood is too thin, and the bones are not strong enough; it doesn't even qualify as a warm-up.
Lee En had no intention of continuing his conversation with Virgil.
He flipped his hands in front of him, and the Rebellion Greatsword slid from his palms into between his fingers.
He gripped the hilt of the sword, held the greatsword horizontally in front of him, the spine of the blade obscuring half of his face.
Rainwater pelted the sword, splashing up fine droplets that trickled down the bone spikes on either side of the spine.
Li En spoke in a slightly raised tone: "Come on, let's fight."
"Okay, bro."
Virgil smirked and used his right thumb to deflect the blade of Yamato.
The faint metallic clanging was mostly drowned out by the sound of the rain.
A sliver of cold light emanating from the scabbard shone brightly against the dark tower top.
