[Soul Magic Stone: A golden magic gem refined in a mysterious way. It is used on objects whose souls have been dispersed but not annihilated. It can reunite the lost soul, but cannot resurrect the dead. 】

"Um?"

Li You raised his eyebrows.

What is this soul magic stone?

In the game, the purpose of the golden magic stone is very simple, it is a resurrection item, but the system's explanation is somewhat vague. What does it mean to be able to reunite the soul but not be able to resurrect the dead?

But obviously it was impossible for him to take this thing out and try it out, so he just crushed the purple magic stone and increased his magic value by about one-tenth - this was a real enhancement.

"Hey, Li You." Nero's voice came from the side, "It's about time you explained it to me, right?"

"Qiang."

The Crimson Queen pierced a Strike Demon Soldier and stuck it on the ground. It struggled for a while and then stopped completely. Black mist-like blood spread out.

Nero pulled out the Crimson Queen, put it on his shoulder, and turned to Li You.

"Didn't you promise to explain it well?"

The two of them had already passed through the area where the small Hell Gate in the forest was located, and were heading towards the headquarters of the cult. Although there are still sporadic demons appearing on the road, it is obviously impossible to block the way of the two of them.

Li You's spiral spear pierced another parasitic scarecrow, piercing the upper and lower parts together, killing it with one blow. He shook his spear out of habit and then remembered that demons would not leave traces of blood.

Li You turned back to look at Nero: "Of course I remember this, but...it's indeed a long story."

"Well, if you want to know anything, just ask and I will give you the answer."

Nero opened his mouth, but didn't know what to ask first. He thought for a while and then said: "I don't want to get to the bottom of it...Then at least tell me what happened to your companion named Yuzu and those 'night demons' What's going on?"

Li You replied: "As you can see, Yuzi is the last companion in my team. He has the ability to change his own form. The flying dragon's posture is one of his changes."

"As for those night demons... you can understand that they are Aiji's dependents and warriors, and they obey Aiji's orders."

Nero was stunned: "This..."

Although Li Yuan's speech was simple, the amount of information was still a bit large, and Nero couldn't understand it for a while.

But Li You had already continued: "You should remember that I came to Foduna just to investigate the sect. More than half a month ago, I discovered that they were operating secretly and it was very suspicious, so I carried out targeted operations. "

"This is why Yuzu and Aiji acted alone. I arranged for them to go to the forest because the devils here are the most active and the most dangerous for ordinary people."

Nero agreed with this point: "...Indeed, if the Mitis Forest is occupied by demons, then they will flock to the city, just like...a month ago."

"So there haven't been any large-scale demons in the forest since that time. It turned out to be you...you did it?"

Li You smiled: "It's the credit of Yuzi and Ai Ji."

Nero turned back and looked at the forest area where the two of them walked. It seemed that he could vaguely see Yuzu flying around in the distance, hunting demons. He couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that from that time on, you would be in the dark." Help the residents of Fortuna...but why? Aren’t you here to complete the commission?”

Li You shook his head slightly: "I just don't like involving innocent people in missions. And by arranging them here, they can also gain something. It's not just doing good deeds without asking for anything in return."

Nero glanced at him: "If you let Ji Liye know this, she will not agree with your opinion. In any case, you did protect thousands of innocent residents of Fortuna, which is undoubtedly a heroic act... She will definitely say that.”

Li You just smiled: "You really understand her."

Nero blushed slightly and did not continue the topic. Instead, he said: "Forget it, it's enough to know this. I won't get to the bottom of your secrets."

"Compared with these, the headquarters of the cult is ahead... I'm going to see Credo and ask him face to face what he knows!

"Li You, don't interfere when the time comes. This is what I have to do."

Li You said: "Actually, it just so happens that I have to go to Aiji and Yuzi now, so you should go first."

Nero was a little surprised: "Aren't you coming with me?"

"You have to meet with Credo first, don't you? If I follow him, I'm afraid he won't treat me well." Li You smiled, "Don't worry, I'm just leaving for a short while, waiting for you to meet Credo. I should be back after Ledo finishes talking."

Of course Li You knew that according to the original plot of the game, when Nero arrived at the gate of the cult headquarters, the person who came out to greet him was none other than the fully armed Credo.

The brothers will probably say something heartfelt at that time, so as an outsider, there is no need for me to intervene, lest I end up making things worse.

It just so happens that he really needs to go to Yuzu and Edge right now.

Although Nero was surprised by this, he didn't think there was any problem, so he said: "Okay, after I question Credo, we'll meet at the entrance of the headquarters!"

"Okay, be careful."

The two simply bumped fists and then parted ways near the exit of the forest road.

Nero went to the headquarters of the cult, while Li You turned around and headed to the other corner of the forest.

The Mitis Forest has a complex terrain, with hills, canyons, plains, rivers, and many ancient buildings. With such a complex terrain, it is naturally very simple to choose a suitable location to place the Night Demon's nest. The only thing to consider is the safety of the nest.

But this forest is full of demons after all, and it is really not safe anywhere. That's why Li You left Yuzu and Aigi here to hunt demons and fight against Echidna.

At this time, in order to go back quickly, Li You directly turned on the dragon man, spread his four wings and rose into the sky, flying towards the location of the night demon's nest at the fastest speed!

Under the fast flight, Li You returned to the Destruction Canyon where he and Nero first met Echidna in almost a blink of an eye.

Yes, the night demon's nest is set at the deepest part of the bottom of the canyon.

In fact, the reason why Echidna appeared here today was because she was searching for the location of the nest. She naturally didn't know how the night demons were born, but she could guess that most of them were born from the same mother body as her own seeds.

Unfortunately, she had been looking for so long and was about to find something, but she ran into Li You and Nero coming here together. It can only be said that it was really unlucky.

Li You was flying over the canyon. With a glance, he had seen several special night demons attached to the rock walls on both sides of the canyon, disguised as mountain vegetation.

They are the latest mutated species of Night Demons, and they are the scouts released by Aggie. These mutated Night Demons have a very strong camouflage ability. Even Li You can detect them because of Aggie's spiritual connection.

He nodded with satisfaction, flapped his wings, and slowly fell to the bottom of the canyon.

The deepest part of the Destruction Canyon was originally a semi-open-air cave of medium size. The sun shone in from large and small openings, making the interior of the cave very bright.

Logically speaking, this kind of landform is not good for the Night Demon's nest. After all, unless it is transformed with a living body, the nest cannot directly hatch and sense the Night Demon, and ordinary Night Demons cannot tolerate ultraviolet rays.

But now the core of the nest has mutated, so this is not a problem.

When Li You landed, he saw a whole piece of thick land covered with vegetation, and the original cave could not be seen at all.

But then, a crack suddenly appeared in the land, and then the ground slowly opened to both sides, revealing the road leading to the bottom.

If you look closely, you can find that underneath the moving "soil" are actually entangled plant roots.

Li You then removed his dragon-man transformation, fell back to the ground, and walked into it along the opening. The ground formed by the entangled roots then closed up, and no trace could be seen from the outside.

Coming to the underground area, there is also a different world here. The original cave space has been greatly widened, and it is dozens of meters downward and inward. A large number of plant roots and vines cover the entire space, making this cave seem like some kind of mysterious country.

The vines extending from the cave floor have entangled into underground caves, and a large number of night demons are sleeping in them at this time. And walking down along the sloping ground, through the protective layer extending from the nest, you can reach the most important core.

Li You strolled to the core and took a brief look. The core of the nest is no longer a layer of eggshell-like gray-white translucent material, but has become a dark green color. There is also an additional thick black biological protective wall on the outside for protection.

"Well... it looks pretty solid." Li You nodded.

As he approached, a figure stood up next to the core and came to him. It was Edge.

"Finally you're willing to come to inspect?" She complained.

Li You said, "You've worked hard during this period."

"Oh." Edge pouted, "Just talking? What else?"

Li You laughed and waved his hand. Two lunch boxes appeared in front of him: "How about this?"

Edge opened it and looked. Inside was the Fortuna-style pizza that she particularly liked recently. She was finally satisfied: "That's right."

She took the lunch box to the side, and Li You came to another figure sitting next to the core and looked at his condition.

Of course, this is Yuzu who has returned to the first stage of human form. In appearance, she is exactly the same as him.

It's really exactly the same, because Yuzu now has even grown hair. If she wears the same clothes and Yuzu deliberately imitates her, even familiar people may be deceived.

However, at this time, Yuzu's injuries, big and small, have not healed yet. These are left from the previous battle with Echidna.

Although Echidna's body is dead, her magic power still remains in Yuzu, corroding his flesh and blood. In other words, this residual energy is the last trace left by Echidna.

But it's not a big problem. Yuzu also has Harlan virus in his body. He can also use the core of the nest to recover from injuries and speed up the period of weakness after the transition. This is very critical.

Hearing Li You approaching, Yuzi also opened his eyes, with a smile on his face: "Li You." Li You nodded, checked his physical condition, and after confirming that he was okay, asked the key question. : "You seemed to have released magic power before?"

This is the question that Li You is most curious about. He asked Yuzi to prey on demons. It was just a sudden whim when he had nothing to do. But when he fought Echidna before, Yuzi really used the power of the devil!

Is his physique really so strong that he can even absorb magic power through devouring it?

Yuzu nodded: "Yes, the magic power is in the body."

But then he paused and said, "But, it's different."

"Huh?" Li You was confused.

"Let me tell you." Aggie said while eating.

"Yuzu listened to your words and preyed on countless lizard demons and seed demons during this period. The final result was that he was able to temporarily store the magic power of the demons he swallowed in his body.

"But they are only stored or released at once, allowing them to explode, and cannot be freely controlled. So your idea did not succeed. You cannot awaken magic power by eating demons."

Li You understood now that Yuzi had only stored the magic power of the demon he had devoured and treated it as a disposable consumable. He still had no magic power himself.

"I see...but why?" Li You was still puzzled.

If it is possible to temporarily retain the devil's magic power in the body, then the devil's power should be some kind of special substance that can be interfered with physically.

But Yuzu couldn't find a way to use them. He could only sense that the magic power existed in his body, but couldn't find its specific location.

Li You couldn't help but think of the ascension ceremony of the Demon Sword Order, the mysterious ceremony that can transform humans into demons. This ritual seems to require injecting something called "demon factor" into the human body to guide people to become demons.

But Li You doesn’t know what the Devil Factor is, and it’s not mentioned in Devil May Cry 4’s game.

"You don't need to understand the settings of Devil May Cry so clearly...that's weird! Don't hide such key things!" Li You was a little annoyed.

Now it seems that the key to turning ordinary people into demons is to extract demonic factors. Just swallowing demons is not enough.

Seeing the change in Li You's expression, Yuzi was also a little frustrated: "Did I not do it well?"

Li You finally came to his senses and patted Yuzi on the shoulder: "That's not the case. You've done a very good job. You've been eliminating demons and fighting against Echidna this month, and you deserve the most credit."

Aiji on the side also said: "That's right, you are much better than some guy who enjoys himself in the city. Be more confident."

Li You glanced at her and didn't say much. After all, Aiji was also very hard this month.

Yuzi was obviously happy: "That's good! Then I'll continue to recover!"

Li You nodded without saying anything more, letting Yuzi absorb the energy by herself.

He turned to look at the core of the nest, thought about it, and went up to touch it. Sensing his arrival, the outer layer of the core's protection automatically opened a hole, allowing his hand to press on the core.

Detailed nest information immediately appeared in Li You's consciousness.

This is the mutation of the core of the nest after absorbing the improved version of the T-Veronica virus.

The core of the nest was actually level 5 before leaving the cyberpunk world, and it was strengthened again after the mutation. Now it can easily pull up a Night Demon army in most worlds.

However, nowadays, he can't use the human wave tactics more often, so he doesn't show it in every world.

But in the world of Devil May Cry 4, the existence of the Night Demon Army is valuable.

Li You confirmed the information of the core of the nest, pondered for a moment, and then came to Edge again and told her something.

Edge was a little surprised after hearing it, but did not object: "You have the final say."

Li You nodded: "It won't be long, wait for my news."

...

The seaside, the entrance to the headquarters of the cult.

At the edge of the forest, Dante stood under a thick tree, looking around nervously.

"... What are you looking for?" A voice came from nowhere and clearly reached Dante's ears.

"Ah, me...haha." Dante smiled awkwardly, and did not try to find the person hiding in the dark, but explained, "I was on the way...delayed for a while."

"Delayed for a while again?" the voice said, "You seem to be very busy recently?"

"This, I also have a reason..." Dante said, suddenly pretending to be surprised and raised his hand to the front, "Yes, it's over there! Look!"

He pointed his hand, and on the stone bridge not far away, a figure wearing a coat and carrying a big sword was walking along the road to the entrance of the cult headquarters.

"It's because of him that I'm late!" Dante said solemnly.

"...Oh? Really?" The voice obviously didn't buy it.

"This...you'll know when you see it." Dante suddenly regained his composure, "Someone is coming."

...

On the narrow stone bridge leading from the forest to the cult headquarters, Nero was striding forward.

He didn't rush in in a hurry, his steps were not hasty, but very firm.

He quickly walked across the narrow bridge, climbed the steps, and came to the huge circular platform in front of the headquarters entrance.

As if there was a tacit understanding, at the entrance opposite the platform, another figure in a white robe and a platinum sword on his waist also walked out step by step - it was Credo.

Both of them noticed each other, so they stood at one end of the platform, facing each other.

Credo's expression was serious, and he exuded a vague murderous aura, and his sharp eyes pierced Nero's right hand.

Nero wanted to hide for a while, but then he thought of something and stopped trying to cover up. Instead, he raised his head and said:

"Credo, I have a question for you."
