Chapter 465 - Strawberry Sundae
Chapter 465: Strawberry Sundae
Dante was right. With the sound of high heels, a tall and sexy black-haired beauty appeared.
Her long black hair was soft and beautiful, and it was tied into a tall bun on top of her head. There were fluttering ribbons decorating her hair bun, and she was wearing a black, tight-fitting suit. At least, it looked leathery. This tight leather suit accentuated her figure to perfection and exquisiteness, and her long legs and high heels made her hips and butt stand out. On her fair face, there was a pair of black-rimmed glasses. In addition, there was a small black enchanting mole at the corner of her mouth. When people saw her, it felt as though she was a mature elder sister.
However, the most surprising thing was the two golden-red guns in her hands!
Not only was she holding them in her two hands, but if you looked closely, you would find that there were two similar guns inserted in the heels of both her high heels.
Sareth’s eyes widened. The visual impact this beautiful big sister gave him was tremendous…
When she turned the corner and saw Dante’s group of four half-demons, the long, straight, black-haired lady was clearly stunned for a moment. Then she immediately raised her hands and pointed her guns at the four of them. But after seeing that the four of them did not look like angels, she asked doubtfully, “Who are you? Why are you here?”
“Relax, relax!” Dante smiled and gestured with his hands face down. “We’re just lost. Beautiful lady, it’s an honor to meet you. May I know your name?”
However, maybe it was because Arthas and his beard stubble was not her cup of tea, but the black-haired lady turned a deaf ear to Dante’s pick-up line. Instead, she sniffed in puzzlement, and then her expression changed. She immediately pulled the trigger and shot two shots at Dante.
“Whoa!!” Dante squatted down with his hands behind his head. Two bullets flew over his head and hit the shop sign behind him, causing it to collapse with a crash.
Problems with objects in the Purgatory Space would also happen in the human world. The blurry human figures around seemed frightened and scattered in all directions.
The moment she fired, it naturally caused the half-demon team to become tense. With a whoosh, Sareth took out Calamity. Nero also took out his Blue Rose and pointed the muzzle at the black-haired lady opposite him. Vergil did not have a gun, but his left thumb was pressing against Yamato’s hilt.
“I’m fine. Calm down!” Fortunately, Dante spoke out at this moment. After standing up, he hurriedly stopped everyone and told them not to be rash. Then he said to the black-haired lady, “Ma’am, it’s not polite to greet people like this!”
“Shut up. I can smell the scent of sulfur on you from miles away!” The black-haired lady held her guns, which were still emitting smoke from the muzzles, and said coldly, “When could demons appear in this world?”
The four of them looked at each other. So that’s how it is.
It could not be helped. Although they were half-demons, Dante and the others also had demonic auras. Although the smell on their bodies was much fainter than that of true demons, considering that the Purgatory Space here was full of the aura of holy light, the demonic smell on their bodies naturally seemed a bit thick.
“Hey, there’s no smell of sulfur. Did you smell wrong?” Dante tried to joke as he spread his hands and smiled. “It’s clearly a masculine scent. I admit that I haven’t showered for a few days, but you shouldn’t have such a big reaction, right?”
Nero almost fell. To think that you can describe the smell of sulfur as masculine. Dante, you’re really talented…
However, the black-haired lady was not so easy to deceive. Facing the grinning Dante, she shot twice at the ground near his feet, scaring him so much that he took two steps back. She said coldly, “Don’t move! I’ve been dealing with demons for a long time, so it’s impossible for me to be mistaken. Tell me, what are you trying to do by pretending to be humans?”
“Huh?” Hearing her words, Dante was stunned for a moment before reacting and probing, “You’ve dealt with demons? You’re… an Umbra Witch? Are you Bayonetta?”
This time, it was the black-haired lady who was stunned. She asked skeptically, “I’m Bayonetta. How do you know my name?”
Yes, the one who appeared in front of them was Bayonetta, the Umbra Witch who possessed the Left Eye of Darkness. It was precisely because of her identity as a Witch that Bayonetta said that she often dealt with demons, so it was reasonable for her to smell the demonic auras on the four of them.
“Haha, great!” Dante could not help but slap his thigh and laugh. Nero and the others heaved a sigh of relief and put away their guns. Dante turned around and clapped Nero. “I didn’t expect us to be so lucky. It didn’t take much effort!”
Putting away their guns naturally meant putting down their hostility. Seeing their actions, Bayonetta lowered her guns slightly, but she did not let down her guard. “You haven’t answered me yet. How do you know my name?”
“Hello, Bayonetta, let me introduce myself. I’m Dante!” Dante introduced them one by one. “This is my brother Vergil, my nephew Nero, and this brat is Sareth. We’re not demons but half-demons. We do have demonic auras, but we’re not disguising as humans like you think.”
“Half-demons?” Bayonetta looked at the four of them doubtfully for a while. To be honest, she was a little unclear.
“It’s great to meet you here!” Dante continued. “In fact, we need your help now!”
Bayonetta spun the guns in her hands, then slung them over her shoulders and raised her chin. “Okay, tell me first.”
“We came from the Demon World!” Dante pointed above his head. “We came here to find a demon named Rodin, but we don’t know where he is. The person who sent us said that if we could find you, you might know his whereabouts. We were worried about how to find him, but we didn’t expect you to appear…”
“Demon World?” Bayonetta frowned and pushed a gun against her glasses. “Why are you looking for Rodin?”
Thus, Dante selectively told Bayonetta about the current situation.
“You’re saying that you came from the twin world on the other side?” Bayonetta was really shocked this time. “The former ruler of the Demon World colluded with the Lumen Sages and escaped here? Now that the spatial channel between Heaven and the Demon World has opened, the two worlds are facing war?”
“Yes, the situation is serious. We don’t have much time, so we need to find Rodin quickly!” Nero said.
“No wonder…” Bayonetta finally put away her guns. She stood on the spot with her hands on her hips and muttered to herself, “No wonder the angels have disappeared in the past few days. I was still wondering why and specially entered the Purgatory Space to find traces of them. I didn’t expect such a big event to happen…”
“The person who took away Mundus’s soul is the last Lumen Sage, Balder. Since you’re an Umbra Witch, you should know his name…” Dante spread his hands. “It concerns the safety of both worlds. We need your help.”
“Okay, I’ll believe you for the time being!” Bayonetta raised her head. “Follow me. I’ll bring you to the Gates of Hell bar. Rodin is there. If such a big event really happened in the Demon World, he should know…”
With that, Bayonetta stretched out her hand and drew a circle above her head. Along with her hand gesture, a golden magic formation formed. She jumped lightly and entered the magic formation.
“That’s the exit of the Purgatory Space, right? Hurry up and follow!” Dante called everyone to run over. “As expected of a Witch. They know how to enter and leave the material world and the Purgatory Space…”
After the four of them followed Bayonetta out of the magic formation, although they saw the same scene, the sense of reality told them that they had indeed entered the human world and were no longer in the reflected scenes of the Purgatory Space.
Ignoring the strange gazes of the humans around them, Bayonetta led the four of them forward. After crossing a few streets, they arrived at a subway station. After getting on the subway, they passed through the city and got off of it halfway. After leaving the subway station, they turned into a quiet street. In the corner of this place, Dante and the others finally saw the destination of their trip—a bar with a shabby appearance and the sign ‘Gates of Hell’.
“Fortunately, this place is in this city…” Dante nodded in relief.
Bayonetta did not say anything and brought the four, who were looking around, into the bar. The moment they passed through the door of the bar, the four of them felt the existence of a magic barrier. It seemed that it was set to block ordinary humans outside. But for those with magic power, they would not be hindered at all.
After passing through the bar’s door and walking underground, they finally met the proprietor of the Gates of Hell under Bayonetta’s lead.
He was a bald black man wearing sunglasses. On his shiny scalp, there were some tribal-like tattoos. He was standing behind the bar counter with a cigar in his mouth, his ten fingers full of shiny rings, and a large gold chain around his neck. His fierce appearance was full of an unapproachable pressure, but he was making a cocktail. His meticulous and skillful movements were a big contrast to his appearance.
When Bayonetta brought Dante and the others in, Rodin did not greet them. Bayonetta looked as though she was used to it and walked to the counter. As soon as she sat down, Rodin finished the cocktail in his hand. He put a green olive in it and handed it to Bayonetta.
“Thanks!” Bayonetta smiled and took the wine glass. After smelling it, she said in surprise, “Martini?”
“You should change your taste from time to time!” Rodin grinned, but his smile looked like that of a fierce bandit. After he finished speaking, he took out a glass of strawberry sundae that he had prepared earlier from the bar and handed it to Dante, who had come in.
Looking at the strawberry sundae, Dante was stunned. He was certain that this was the first time he had seen Rodin, but Rodin actually knew what his favorite dessert was. This feeling was too strange!
