Chapter 393: The Demonic Energy
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
Mr. Fang’s process in the game was always faster than the others. Whenever he played Devil May Cry, there were always a large group of people standing behind him to watch.
For cultivators, this game was indeed difficult. Just like the Legend of the Sword and Fairy, the main character in this game possessed powerful sword technique and combat abilities which could be used by the players. However, this wasn’t a game for ordinary people since Dante and the demons’ attack and movement speeds had been restored and altered to their original level.
For example, inside this ‘Temen-ni-gru’ demonic tower, the Gigapede, which was the boss after Cerberus, could control groups of lightning bolts and lightning balls. With this giant demonic centipede’s powerful demonic energy and talent, it took little time to cast spells.
In the original game, the lightning balls moved very slowly, probably less than five meters per second, and it could be easily dodged by any ordinary warriors in the shop, let alone Dante.
However, the lightning balls in the remake version were different. Lightning balls could move at an unimaginable high speed of more than 20,000 kilometers per hour in the real world, so it obviously followed the same speed in the game.
For the cultivators, it was difficult for them to deal with these situations with the methods of warriors.
Although the cultivators couldn’t use these techniques, they were eager to watch Mr. Fang play. Different from the warriors in Jiuhua City who were working hard, practicing their skills, the cultivators in Half City were more interested in watching.
At this moment, Divine Ocean Realm cultivators such as Black Demon and Tang Yuan, ordinary cultivators such as Mo Xian, and even Ning Bi were standing behind Mr. Fang and watching him play, each with a cup of milk tea in their hands.
A quilt also floated in the air. “I… I have high hopes for this guy. He has the presence as a member of our Saint Clan!”
Then, it sipped the milk tea and said, “Damn, why is it so cold?!”
Since Mr. Fang didn’t turn on the livestream, a large group of people gathered behind him.
This devil tower was occupied with many horrid demons, and Dante encountered many battles in there. During the process, he acquired many weapons as well.
For example, there was the Moon Goddess Gun ‘Artemis’, a demonic gun which could fire demonic energy arrows.
The creation principles of this gun were clearly different from that of the modern science guns; it was a real demonic gun.
While the science-based guns in Counter Strike, Resident Evil, and Grand Theft Auto 5 were basic guns, Ebony and Ivory, Artemis, and Lady’s, a heroine in the game, powerful guns such as the multi-functional missile launcher gave the cultivators a clear direction for making advanced weapons.
These firearms each had their own combat style.
For low-level cultivators, regular guns were like god-tier weapons since they consumed little strength and unleashed great power. But for grand cultivators, these weapons could offer little help in major warfare, which was why they rarely used guns in their battles.
However, the situation would change if they could produce the guns and combat styles shown in Devil May Cry 3.
Mr. Fang controlled Dante to move forward while he got even more experienced with the battles in this game.
While his techniques leveled up slowly, he could use many more combat styles, such as the Royalguard Style’s Air Block in mid-air and the Gunslinger Style’s various fancy shooting movesets.
After defeating the two headless knights of fire and ice who were known as Agni and Rudra, Dante acquired the Ice and Fire Dual-Saber which were transformed from these two headless knights.
“These two sabers can even talk?!” The audience was pleasantly surprised when the terrifyingly powerful dual sabers asked Dante to take them with him after being defeated.
Dante was thinking if he should bring them to play. After a moment of consideration, he said, “Okay! But you two are not allowed to speak!”
While he said that, he picked up the dual sabers that were engulfed in red and blue flames respectively. While he used them to strike, the red and blue flames danced in the great hall, forming a huge red-and-blue firestorm!
Exclamations rose from behind Mr. Fang.
The first battle with Vergil was even more astonishing. Vergil wanted to open the demonic tower and the portal connecting the human world and the demon world. As a demon slayer, Dante inherited his parents’ love for humans, and he had a human side to him deep down in his heart even though he didn’t admit it.
Driven by their fates, the twin brothers with opposite personalities began their first battle on the top of the demonic tower.
The soaring demonic tower was so high that it looked like the highest point of the world. It felt like the huge full moon hung beside the demonic tower, looking so near as if one could touch it by reaching out their hands.
“So, this is a so-called cozy family reunion, eh?” Dante was still sarcastic and playful while Vergil looked cold and solemn like a merciless demon with his katana in hand.
Dark clouds drifted over and vaguely covered the moon, and the wind fluttered the hem of his blue windbreaker while saber light flashed!
Yamato’s saber light was brighter than the moonlight, making the moon further away lose its glamour.
Obviously, Vergil was more powerful than Dante, and he revealed a small part of his frightening saber techniques in this battle.
Compared with Dante, Vergil’s saber techniques were more orderly and disciplined. He drew and withdrew his saber like an elegant aristocrat who showed great power with aplomb.
“How come I feel like this guy is more dashing than Dante!”
“Someone is more dashing than Dante?! Where?!”
More people came over.
“So fast!”
Vergil’s katana was not only fast but was able to explode the Hell Vanguard which was hard to kill, causing demonic energy to disperse into the area. Vergil’s saber looked like a death blade!
The audience felt like they were watching a fascinating movie instead of a game.
Of course, since Dante hadn’t learned the Demon Trigger yet, he was no match for Vergil in this battle. However, at the end of the battle, even from the screen, the audience could feel the frightening explosive power that Dante unleashed after he controlled the demonic energy in his body.
Obviously, this game was not only enjoyable to play; the viewers behind Fang Qi were having a thrilling time as well.
“Is this demonic energy?”
“Humph! This little guy’s power is still not as great as me, the Saint Lord! Gulp…” Above their heads came the sound of someone drinking milk tea with a straw.
