Sorry to be gone for so long people. But im back and with two chapters to make up for it. I promise more will come but for now enjoy Dante reaching a new level of badassness
Dante swung Rebellion over head, bringing the full force of the blade down on Balor's head. The blade bounced off the devils rock hard skin with a ring. Balor shook his head, swinging his horns at Dante, who landed on the horns and jumped away as the demon swung up. Dante whipped out ebony and ivory as he fell, shooting the demon full of lead as he fell to the street. But like the sword, the bullets resounded off his rock skin. Balor laughed as he brought his sword high in the air, flames twisting around it, and swung it down on the devil hunter.
Dante jumped back onto a building as the sword demolished the street below, the flames burning even the concrete to ash. "Careful there pal." Dante taunted, "Fire isn't good for my skin. It takes work to look this good."
"Insolent pest!" the demon howled, bringing his flame filled fist down on the building. Dante slid to the right, evading the fist and jumping onto the devils arm. Reaching under his coat he drew out Agni and Rudra. Running up the devil's arm, he dragged the two swords along his arm, cutting and burning the devil. He leaped up from his elbow and crossed the swords over his face in a flash of wind and fire. Balor reeled his head back slightly from the attack, but immediately opened his mouth, a massive fire ball erupting from within.
"Uh oh." Dante said as he blast exploded outward. The smoke filled the air around Balor's face as he looked around for the son of Sparda. "I told you already, easy with the flames." Balor whipped around to see the half devil on a building to his right waving to him. "So are we ready to get serious, or what?" he said throwing his arms out.
Balor roared and swung his sword sideways at Dante. But Dante held his ground, bringing up Rebellion, he caught the massive sword and held his ground, giving a small chuckle all the while. "Well the big boy has some the strength in him after all!" Dante pushed back, forcing Balor's sword back far enough to where he could jump toward Balor's face again. Joke as he did, Dante could see he was in trouble. There were no marks on the demon from any of his attacks and they seemed to do nothing but annoy the massive demon. He was actually in trouble in here.
Balor swung his left arm around trying to grab the devil hunter, but Dante stabbed the hand and used rebellion to swing himself towards the devil's face. Before he could react, Dante drove rebellion into one of the demon's searing red and black eyes all the way to the skull guard on the blade. Balor screamed and brought his hand up to his face. Dante quickly swung behind the demon and slid down its back and tail like a slide with a very enthusiastic, "Whooo!" the whole way.
The moment he landed on the burnt out ground, he grabbed Rebellion backhanded. Red energy flowed over the blade and he turned back to Balor. The beast spun around to face Dante just as he swung the sword, sending a red crescent slash through the air and colliding with Balor's face. Dante swung the blade back around two more times sending two more red slashes at Balor. Each strike caused the giant demon to stumble slightly.
Dante pressed the attack. Rushing foreword he launched himself upwards, slashing the demons leg. Once high in the air, he threw his arm foreword and sent rebellion flying at the devils head. The sword dug in to the devils forehead throwing his head back. Dante created a red circle beneath his feet, using the air hike to climb higher in the air. Then he changed, his devil trigger taking over and changing his whole body to that of a red devil. "You're going down!" He yelled in his demonic voice as he dove towards the demons head, his right foot outstretched in a kick. Dante became a red comet streaking towards the monster before colliding, his foot landing firmly on the pommel of rebellion with a shattering explosion.
Balor did not react to the attack, as Dante remained suspended in the air, his foot still planted on the sword. Balor's eyes narrowed in on him, burning. "Oops." Dante grabbed rebellions hilt and made to pull away. Balor shook his head, throwing the half devil off before opening his maw and letting out a massive cone of flames. Dante couldn't dodge this time and took the full brunt of the attack. The fire flowed over him, but was not too damaging, but as the flames cleared, he looked to see Balor's sword raised high and coming down on him. Dante barely had time to move his sword between himself and the enormous blade. The sword connected with full force driving him into the ground. Dante lay there, still holding rebellion in front of him as he lay in the crater.
Dante opened his eyes from the pain. "Well that was . . " But he was cut off as Balor's fist slammed into the ground over top of him. A massive blast of fire erupted from the devils arm, burning the street and causing a giant explosion of fire. Dante was sent careening from the pit down the street, his coat a flame. As he stumbled to recover and knock out the fire he stood and then collapsed, coughing up a trail of blood.
"Foolish half breed." Balor said triumphantly, stepping towards Dante. "You cannot hope defeat me. The demon emperor's greatest servant, Balor!" with a roar, Balor spread his wings and a wave of flames erupted all around him. The buildings nearby were burnt to ash and the force sent Dante hurdling down the street, rebellion slid from his hands and landed in a wall down the street.
Dante tumbled and finally stopped lying face down on the street. He groaned as he put his hands down and pushed himself up. Dante staggered to his feet, blood dripped from his head and arm, mixing with the red of his coat. He staggered as he tried to stand up straight, the blood loss and least two broken ribs not agreeing with him. "Well," he sighed breathing heavily. "Looks like you really are a tough basturd." Balor was slowly walking down the street towards him, each footstep was like an earthquake. "No holding back anymore I guess." Dante said trying to steady himself as the demon got closer. "I'll give you credit, you probably gave my old man a run for his money . . ." Balor was now much closer, his shadow looming over Dante. "But you're not good enough for me." Balor stopped in front of Dante raising his sword with both hands, flames swirling around it. Dante reached his hand to his back where rebellion usually hung. "Sorry pops, but I need to use this real quick." His hand shifted to the other side where Sparda's hilt was. Balor brought his sword down in full force to Dante as he grabbed the blade guarded hilt.
A burst of energy erupted from Dante. Black and red energy swirled around him like a vortex the moment he touched the sword. Balor's sword slowed to a stop as it neared Dante. The great demon pressed harder trying to force the blade closer but the sword stopped in its tracks, the flames twisting around him, the energy pushing it away. More and more power flowed from Dante, making the air denser and darker. He reached up and gripped the sword with his left hand as well. The sheer force pushed Balor's sword back, forcing the demon to take a step back. Now Dante raised his eyes to meet the demons. His eyes had now gone empty, filled with a deep red light. Then he spoke, but not with his own voice, a voice much older, wiser and far more powerful and cruel. "Die." It said.
With just the word, he swung the massive sword off his back downward. A gargantuan black wave erupted from the blade. The energy was at least a hundred feet tall and cut down the street over a mile. The black slash cut straight through Balor. Cutting to the right of his right leg and through his collar bone on the right side, taking off the devils right horn, arm and leg, which sent him crashing to the ground. The giant black energy slash cut down the street and even seemed to cut the sky before dissipating. Dante swung the blade around before bringing it to rest on his back once again. His eyes faded to the calmer blue as he looked on his fallen enemy.
"What are you?" Balor howled in pain as he writhed on the ground, his blood poured out of his stone skin onto the pavement. "What are you? Sparda! Devil? Human?" The devil cried out trying to pull away from Dante.
Dante walked slowly towards the devil. "Well, tough basturd or not looks like its time to put the dog down." Dante said as he drew Ivory.
"No! I will not fall like this!" Balor roared, letting his remaining wing flail around. "Lord Mundus!" Balor threw himself at Dante. Dante whipped Ivory up and squeezed the trigger. The red energy charged shot tore the devil's head apart and ripped the whole demon apart, dissolving into ash.
Dante heaved a sigh and then coughed up some blood. "Okay. That could have gone better." He sighed, walking back up the street to retrieve rebellion. He pulled the large sword from the wall and slung it over his shoulder to his back, next to Sparda. The black devil sword was still pulsing slightly as if happy about the destruction it had caused. Dante looked back up to the black sky and the eye that was his goal. "Don't wanna be late for the party." He said stepping forward.
