Dante made a stylish landing in the lower chambers of the Qliphoth after parting ways with Nero and Izuku. Gazing upward, he addressed the situation with his signature casual confidence.

"Hey, no hard feelings, guys, but this one's all mine!" he shouted spiritedly. Spinning around to face the opening above him, he appraised the hole he was about to descend through.

"Trust me, boys... This is gonna be a bit too much for ya," he quipped with a playful grin, then leaped into the hole.

As he delved deeper into the Qliphoth's depths, Dante encountered a succession of demons. Dispatching them effortlessly, he employed an array of weapons, from guns to his new sword, as well as his devil arms – Barlog and Cavalier – punching and slicing through any demon audacious enough to cross his path.

Finally, he reached a chamber blanketed in ice. Over the din of a mighty demon's grunts and the clanking of chains binding the creature, Dante descended nonchalantly. His arrival revealed a colossal three-headed dog thrashing in a struggle to break free from its restraints.

"Leave at once! Only the kings of the underworld may enter through these gates!" the demon bellowed, its chains rattling. Dante's smirk broadened, the challenge clearly energizing him.

"Whoa, easy there, fella. Hey... I remember a stinky little pooch just like you," Dante quipped, his mind drifting back to his younger days when he had encountered a Cerberus.

"You insult me, foul-scented creature!" the Cerberus retorted with a roar, unleashing a blizzard of ice that Dante shielded himself from.

"Looks like your master's got you on quite a short leash. Come on, little puppy. I'll take you on a walk. C'mon, let's go!" Dante taunted, treating the formidable demon like an unruly dog. The Cerberus's anger erupted even further.

"You've fought our kin in the past, but I am the King of the Cerberus tribe! They were weak! But WE will feast on your flesh and gnaw on your bones!" The creature roared, its three heads spewing ice, fire, and lightning as it shattered the restraints that had held it in place.

"So... You're the strongest of the litter, huh? Looks like we're gonna need a bigger leash. Come on!" Dante exclaimed, shifting into a confident fighting stance as he embraced the challenge posed by King Cerberus.
King Cerberus lunged at Dante with all three of its heads simultaneously, each head wreathed in a different element - fire, ice, and lightning.

Dante's eyes narrowed as he sidestepped the fiery maw, his coat billowing as he deftly evaded the attack. With a twist of his body, he managed to dodge the icy bite, feeling the chill of the frosty breath against his skin.

The lightning head struck next, bolts of electricity crackling towards Dante. He leaped into the air, performing a mid-air somersault to narrowly avoid the electrifying strike that scorched the ground where he had stood a moment earlier.
