Chapter 2: The New Ragnarok

Dante chanted the incantation of the magic powder which the old man told him. And, he vanished in a thin white smoke. The old man coughed quietly. And he left the office in peace.

But he planned to put a defense to Dante's office. He took out his red powder and sprinkled on Dante's front door and chants the spell. There was red flashing happen in a split-second. The old man walks out Dante's place at once.

"Do your best. Son of Sparda." The old man mumbled himself.

Around Nelde Forest

Ein and his party were about losing to a horde of demons. He holds his sword. But, before he charges his enemies, a sudden shot landed to the one of the demons. Ein think it was the gods again help him.

But, a wrong guess.

It was Dante. He was making a perfect entry.

"Hey pal, look someone else before you bully them." Dante told the demons.

This man, is he really talented? Ein dazed off until, he was shocked by the axe landing again to him.

BANG!

Another shot happen again. Dante hold up a large sniper rifle.

"Any of you guys kill me?" Dante taunted his enemies.

Suddenly, a skeleton knight came rushing with a spear on it. It was ready to stab Dante but, Dante evaded the stabbing with sidestep.

Dante unsheathed his trademark sword, Rebellion and send a first slash to the unwary skeleton knight. Sending the slash, he damages the ribs of the skeleton. And he kicks the skeleton knight on his upper leg. This sends it crumbling. Not in dust. It was turn into a hunk of skeleton bones.

Dante took the skull and examine it. Then he throws it at the nearby troll. Good thing it landed on the heretic's foot.

"Yo mister! Any purpose of your own book?" Dante ask.

Without moment of waiting, Dante backflip away from the heretic who cast an icy spell. He retaliates on sky with several gunshots.

"No way! He's better than me! He's got a better weapons!" Lina pouted.

The heretic was shot severly by Dante's Ebony and Ivory guns. The heretic fall on its knees and died.

"Now that's wizardy!" Dante pointed his gun at the heretic's body. But to an unknown, somebody shot him an arrow on his head. Blood spurted out at his forehead.

"No." Fia was shocked to see the man in red died.

"Oh dear." Cierra was also shocked and the rest too was surprised.

But for Dante, means heavy payback.

Dante grab the arrow back at his head and shouted.

"What? He could possibly survive the fatal?" Ein was surprised on Dante.

"Who's this jerk shooting me like this?! I'm gonna kill him for sure!" Dante was raged by the headshot.

No one answered. He suspects that the trees around him were the culprits.

"Fine. If you don't wanna get out there, then, I will get you out of there."

Dante took out his Spiral and aim point-blank at the bark of the tree.

"What's he doing?" Malice was puzzled.

"Ready, steady and OPEN FIRE!" Dante shot and the bullet bounce and hitting one of the archers.

"So, you're the one. Heh, case solved. Now were was I? Oh, yeah." Dante blocked a nearby slash. It was a knight.

"Imbecile fool! You will die on my sword." said the knight. The knight raised again his sword but, his sword was being kicked away by a glowing greaves. The sword fling over away to the knight.

"I think it not." Dante gave the knight an dearly uppercut. He hit him on the chin.

Seeing him rising in the sky and falling like a injured bird, Dante watch him suffer.

"Well Sir Slash-Me-If-You-Can, giving up so soon. Hmmm?" Dante watch the knight.

"Don't think its over, we got a big weapon." The knight said in last word, spouting drips of blood and died.

Suddenly a huge force swing around Dante and he manage to dodge it by crouching.

It was an ogre.

Dante decided to activate his true self. By means of Devil Trigger.

Dante, in a flash, transformed into a demon too. But he was pure red at all of his body, on his upper part, he has a demonic-looking face and has a Rebellion equip on his back.

Suddenly, Ein remebers something. That the man in red wasn't an ordinary joe. It was the Son of Sparda. Dante Sparda. The Son of the Dark Knight Sparda. Ein communicate Rose again with telepathy.

"Rose! This man is Dante Sparda!" Ein told to Rose.

"What?! That man in red was the Son of Sparda?!" Rose look flabbergasted.

"Yeah! According to legends, a Dark Knight chose to save humanity rather than empowered. So he took out many his brethren just for humanity!" Ein replied.

"Also, he has two sons. His name was Dante and the other was Ve...Ver..Ver? I forgot what was his name!" Rose also explained.

"I dunno! That's really him." Ein pointed to that man in his Devil state.

"Are you sure of that Ein? Or is it just an impostor?" Rose ask.

"No! It's real! He's using their hidden potential, the Devil Trigger!" Ein was sure of the answer he told to Rose.

"Now's the time to whip your butt!" Dante jump higher than before and slashed the face of the ogre and it was crying in pain. It swing it arm around blindly and stamping the ground flat.

Dante regard this ogre as a "giant baby."

Using his Beowulf, he punch the feet of the ogre and the ogre fall down on his demise. And it died.

Dante step over the ogre's body and shout, "Any one next?" while his Devil Trigger was still active.

While the rest of the horde retreated. Because they feared Dante's mighty onslaught on their secret weapon.

"That sums up they were chickens." Dante unsheathe his Rebellion at his back.

"And the rest" Dante fire blindly without looking at the retreating hordes, he fire off couple of gunshots from his Ebony and Ivory. His shots were able to hit some Berserker and Gremlins.

"Were bunch of suckers who weren't prepared for the war" Dante said. Putting his guns at his holster.
