Custom Made Demon King Chapter 415 – You Haven’t Swallowed a Soul?!

Chapter 415 You Haven’t Swallowed a Soul?!

When Sareth returned to the small town of Fortuna and went to Nero’s store, he found that there was currently a gloomy atmosphere.

“What’s… wrong?” Sareth looked at everyone with a puzzled expression.

“Sareth?! You…” When Nico saw Sareth, she was stunned for a long time. When she came back to her senses, she suddenly stepped forward, held Sareth’s shoulders, and looked him up and down excitedly. “Great, you’re okay!”

Sareth twisted his shoulders unnaturally and shook off Nico’s hand before looking at V. “Didn’t you tell them?”

At this moment, V was looking down at the poetry book in his hand and said slowly, “Sorry, I forgot…” Yes, Nero, Nico, and Kyrie had not received any news about Sareth recently. Ever since Sareth rushed into the spatial rift, they had not seen him, so they thought that something had happened to him. After V brought Nero back, he did not mention him, so Nico and Kyrie were very excited to see him.

Of course, Dante, Lady, and Trish were lost in the Qliphoth, and this incident was a tremendous blow to Nero. After losing his right arm, he had lost most of his strength, so not only did he not help in this battle, but he had instead become a burden. This made Nero very dejected, and he was currently blaming himself strongly. So when Sareth appeared safe and sound, Nero was a little excited and asked, “Sareth, where have you been during this time?”

“Here. I went looking for the Demon Bible stele!” Sareth did not hide it as he put down the bag on his back and showed the stele to everyone.

“Is this the thing you were talking about?” Nico and Nero gathered around the stele curiously and sized it up. But no one, including Nero, could understand the demon characters on it.

After looking at it for a long time, Nero could not find anything, so he could only ask Sareth, “What’s the use of this thing?”

“I actually don’t know…” Sareth scratched his head. “Foster Father asked me to find it, but he once said that there are seven of them in total. It seems like you have to gather all seven before you can understand the specific usage…” “What kind of demon is your foster father?” Nico could not help but ask when she heard him mention his foster father again.

Sareth said with a look of admiration, “He’s a very powerful demon lord. I heard from Mother Julia that he is probably the fastest demon to promote from high-rank demon to lord in the entire Abyss! Mother Benia also said that even though Foster Father has just become a demon lord not long ago, he’s already stronger than many demon lords! He may be the most promising demon to promote to the demon king level in the Abyss in the past thousand years!”

Hearing this, Nico could not help but look worriedly at Nero. They all knew that Sareth’s foster father was a powerful demon lord, and he had sent Sareth to search for this Demon Bible stele that Spada had taken away. Now that Sareth had found it, and Nico and Nero had not been able to stop him, they did not know what he would do next and whether the foster father he mentioned would descend into this world…

Now that Urizen, a powerful demon, had appeared, if Sareth’s foster father appeared as well, then…

Therefore, Nico and Nero felt that it was necessary to understand what kind of demon this foster father of Sareth was. In their impression, demons were cruel and bloodthirsty evil existences, but… weren’t there demons like Sparda? In addition, Trish was also a demon, and she was now on the side of humans. Although Sareth’s foster father was a demon lord, since this demon was willing to adopt a demon-human hybrid, perhaps they could communicate with him?

Urizen’s strength had exceeded Nero’s and Dante’s expectations. So at this moment, Nero, who was in a dejected state, actually had the thought of ‘Can we get Sareth’s foster father to deal with Urizen?’

Of course, Nero knew that this thought was very dangerous, so he quickly threw it aside.

V, who was standing at the back, realized that Sareth’s background had exceeded his imagination. He had thought that Sareth was a friend of Dante… or possibly his offspring or something. Now, after hearing what Sareth said, he realized that it was totally different from what he had imagined, so he raised his head and looked at Sareth in surprise.

Was it a mistake for me to tell him the clue about the Demon Bible stele? V thought.

However… it was already a fact that Sareth had found this stele. Even if V regretted it, it was useless. The only good news was that this stele did not look strange…

Sareth did not think too much about it. After chatting for a while, he remembered to ask where Dante and the others had gone. But when he asked this question, the room fell silent again. After a long time, Nero told Sareth about what had happened in the Qliphoth. It was only then that Sareth knew that such an enormous change had occurred in the past ten days after he left.

“Is that Urizen really that powerful?” Sareth asked in surprise.

Nero and V nodded in agreement. What else could they say? Urizen had beaten them badly just by sitting there. If this was not powerful, then what was?

Sareth was a little flustered at this moment, so the first thought that came to his mind was, Looks like I really have to get Foster Father to come… This Urizen probably needs Foster Father to deal with him.

In fact, during Roy’s explanations to Sareth, he had not said that Sareth definitely had to summon him to this world. Roy was just curious about the Devil May Cry world. What he truly valued was the Demon Bible inscription. He had gotten Sareth to come here only to train him and let him gain experience, and there were also half-demons like Dante, Vergil, and Nero in this world. Sareth was also one of them, so they could communicate with each other.

Moreover, when Roy sent Sareth over, he did not know what time it was in this world, and he would definitely not be able to guess what Sareth would encounter, so he did not force him to complete the missions. If he could find the Demon Bible, he would find it. If he could not find it, he would return after gaining some experience. As for whether Roy could descend into this world, he did not care that much.

However, Sareth’s mission experience in this world could be said to be much smoother than Roy had expected. He actually found the Demon Bible stele so quickly, which was something Roy did not expect, and Sareth himself felt quite proud. Once a child at his age had some achievements, he could not wait to boast to his parents so he would receive his parents’ recognition. Therefore, this made Sareth want Roy to come and take a look… He hoped that Roy would praise him…

Of course, this thought was only in Sareth’s heart, and he did not say it out loud, so Nero and the others were not too clear about what Sareth was thinking.

In any case, Sareth had returned safe and sound. This was good news for Nero, so he pulled himself together and stood up. “Dante failed, but I’m still here. I have to find a way to defeat Urizen. I have to find a way to obtain stronger power…”

Nico thought about it and said, “Your demon right arm is gone. This will have an immense impact on you, but I might be able to find a way to get you a right arm… the kind that you can use as a weapon!”

“Oh? That’s a good idea!” Nero was stunned for a moment before laughing. “Then I’ll leave it to you. Tell me what materials you need, and I’ll go find them!”

“Yes, you indeed need you to go out!” At this moment, Nico got inspiration. She lit a cigarette and pondered. “In order to fight against demons, purely technological weapons have little effect, so you have to have demonized technology that matches your magic power to fight, so the material requirements are naturally special…”

“Do you want to get them from demons?” Nero asked. “In that case, right now is the best opportunity. Those damn demons that appeared from the Qliphoth are wreaking havoc in Red Grave City, and we also need to find a way to hunt them down.”

“That’s right!” Nico nodded. “This R&D will take time, so you can take advantage of this time to reduce the number of demons.”

At this moment, V stepped forward and said, “And there’s also that Qliphoth. Urizen is waiting for the fruit of the tree to ripen, so during this time, he might not appear in front of the world. This is our opportunity…”

Hearing V mention the fruit of the Qliphoth, Sareth thought of something. His eyes flickered, but he did not say anything. The three of them discussed the next course of action eagerly, and Sareth could not interrupt for a while. After finally waiting for them to calm down, Sareth said, “If you want to obtain stronger power, can’t you just devour souls?”

“Huh?” Upon hearing this, the three of them turned to look at Sareth in surprise. “What did you say just now?” “Devour souls!” Sareth was also surprised. “You don’t even know this? There are many souls floating around in Red Grave City currently. The souls of those dead humans and demons can strengthen you, Nero!”

“This…” Nero was stunned, and he could not help but ask, “Aren’t souls only used to strengthen weapons?” Of course, Nero could see souls, but in his understanding, he had always thought of himself as human, so he had never thought about devouring souls like demons, especially human souls! After all, he could not accept it psychologically… He knew that the souls of those demons had special effects, but people had always used them to strengthen weapons. In particular, some stronger demons would leave behind ‘Devil Arms’ after dying. They were weapons made by demons using their own souls, so these weapons naturally could not be eaten, right?

It was not only him, but Dante was the same. They had never thought of directly devouring souls.

Of course, this was also related to the fact that half-demons did not have Soul Devouring Addiction. They could see souls, but they would not immediately think of ‘eating’ them. They did not have the concept of ‘edible’ for souls… It could be said that the magic power in Nero and Dante had gradually grown through their long years of training and fighting. This was also a special aspect of half-demons. But Sareth was different. He had been growing up in the Abyss, and to him, souls could be devoured to strengthen magic power. This was almost common knowledge!

So to Nero’s question, he replied in disbelief, “Who said that? Foster Father said that we half-demons can also devour souls to strengthen our magic power. This is an ability inherited from the demon bloodline. Y-you’ve never devoured souls to increase your magic power?”

Nero was stunned, but he immediately understood.

In fact, since the first time he saw Sareth, he felt that it was a little strange. Sareth was only around nine years old, but he already had a decent amount of magic power and could even use demon armaments. In comparison, Nero could not do this when he was at that age.

Now that he heard Sareth say this, he suddenly realized that this was probably because Sareth had devoured souls. His growth was much faster than Nero’s, and even faster than Dante’s during the same time…

What should I do? After realizing this, Nero looked at Nico hesitantly and then at V. Sareth’s words had shown Nero a new way to obtain great power. Should I do what Sareth said and give it a try?
