The Kind Devil (FemVergil x Male Reader)

Ch 20: Final Battle

Nero's Pov

As we got further in, thing were more and more destroyed. I eventually came upon two large demons, one riding a horse billowing blue flames. They were talking and one said something about the Sparda. 

That one left, and I attacked the other one, but only managed to kill the horse. When it was down, I suddenly looked around and things were frozen around me. I realized that I'd gotten its power of controlling time. Its rider fled.

The other demons ran off. Luca and I decided to split up. He would go further down into the holes created by the tree while I would keep moving where we were. We knew if we could find the Sparda it might be our only way to end this.

Luca's Pov

I had to push through the roots down where I went. They had grown over everything. I found several demons I'd never seen before and killed them. As much as I hoped Dantine was alive, I had every reason to think she was dead.

I looked up at a wall and saw the Sparda embedded in it. I jumped up and grabbed it off the wall. I wondered how Mundus's forces hadn't found it. Then I looked down and saw something that I never expected.

Dantine and Vergilia were lying unconscious in a pool of blood. Their white hair was red with blood. I jumped down and walked over to them.

Luca: "Dantine? Can you hear me?" Neither of them responded. "Don't play with me! Wake up!" They didn't move. "Please!" I couldn't tell if they could hear me. "Wake up. Please. This isn't funny." They still didn't stir. I decided to try something I hadn't wanted to do. "Well Dantine, since you apparently cannot hear me, I can say whatever I want." I paused and sighed. "I love you. Ever since you called me cute, I did. So please... Stop this little routine and wake up." I embraced her and hoped she could hear me. Then I felt her grab me and pulled me into a forceful kiss.

Dantine: "Hey there cutie." We enjoyed the moment for a short time, but then we realized her sister was still unconscious. "Don't worry about that." She took the Sparda and violently stabbed it into the ground next to her. She woke up immediately.

Vergilia: "What happened?"

Luca: "You have both been missing for weeks. The Qliphoth has destroyed the city." They stood up.

Dantine: "No wonder I'm so stiff."

Luca: "We need to find the others."

Dantine: "Are Lady and Trish ok?"

Luca: "We never found Trish. Lady was being used to power an artificial demon."

Nero's Pov

I'd lied to Luca earlier. I wasn't looking through the city, I was making a beeline for Mundus. I was going to kill him this time. I knew if I said anything, he wouldn't let me. I got back into the tree and went the same route we took the first time, quickly making it to him.

Nero: "So, ready for round two?"

Mundus: "I wondered where you went to. And here you are, coming to me. If you wanted to die so badly, I would gladly have obliged before."

Nero: "Where is my mom?"

Mundus: "Dead. With her sister. You are the only blood descendent of Sparda. You are only half as much a demon as them. You are weaker than even they are."

Nero: "I was rusty the first time. Now I have weeks and weeks of daily practice behind me." I drew Red Queen.

Mundus: "Mere skill will not save you. Before we begin, out of curiosity, which twin was weak-minded enough to become attached to a human?"
