In this epic battle, Dante faced off against the formidable trio of demons: Griffon, Shadow, and Nightmare. The dark atmosphere was charged with tension as the demons circled Dante, ready to strike.

Dante cracked a cocky smile and quipped, "Three against one? Those are pretty slim odds for you guys."

Griffon, the lightning bird-like demon, screeched and launched a barrage of lightning bolts at Dante. He deftly dodged the attacks, using Barlog to send fiery kicks towards Griffon, forcing the demon to retreat momentarily.

Meanwhile, Shadow, the shape-shifting panther-like demon, lunged at Dante with blinding speed. Dante countered with his Devil Sword, parrying Shadow's strikes with expert precision. "Nice try, kitty," Dante taunted as he slashed at Shadow.

The towering Nightmare demon, a hulking mass of darkness and metal, loomed over the battlefield. Dante knew he had to deal with it strategically. He revved up Cavalier, transforming it into twin chainsaws, and charged at Nightmare. Sparks flew as he clashed with the massive demon.

Dr. Faust, Dante's fedora, levitated above him, and he sent it spinning towards Griffon. The fedora unleashed a storm of bullets made from demon blood, causing Griffon to screech in pain. Dante laughed, "Time to tip the scales in my favor."

The battle raged on, and Dante's Ebony and Ivory guns sang their deadly duet, peppering Shadow with bullets. Griffon and Nightmare regrouped, launching a coordinated assault. Dante switched to his rocket launcher, unleashing a devastating explosion that sent the demons sprawling.

Breathing heavily, Dante stood amidst the chaos. "You guys just don't know when to quit, huh?" he smirked. With a final, powerful strike from his Devil sword he sent them flying back.

"We won't back down! Not until we see him!" Griffon's voice thundered as all three demons closed ranks.

They began to amass their energy, a sense of impending danger making even Dante, seasoned as he was, uneasy.

Suddenly, the familiars' eyes emitted an eerie purple glow, enveloped in a sinister aura. They surged toward Dante with even greater speed, while Nightmare unleashed a barrage of laser beams that triggered a massive explosion, forcing the devil hunter into a tactical retreat.

"That was a bit too close," Dante remarked, his breath ragged. Just as he tried to regain his composure, Shadow pounced on him. He managed to parry the beast's assault using the flat side of his sword.

However, this proved to be a cunning diversion. Above him, Griffon unleashed a relentless torrent of lightning, electrocuting Dante and forcing him to his knees. With Shadow's tendrils impaling him, holding him aloft, Nightmare began charging a colossal beam of demonic energy.

In a desperate bid to survive, Dante's eyes flared a dangerous shade of red, and beneath him, a malevolent sigil materialized. He was undergoing a transformation into his Sin Devil Trigger.

Dante pierced Shadow with his Devil Sword, impaling the demon amidst a flurry of mirage blades. He then hurled the demon aside, turning his attention to Nightmare, the source of the demons' power. Dante, engulfed in flames, dashed toward the colossal demon. He spun in mid-air, drilling through Nightmare's massive frame, leaving a gaping hole in its chest. As a result, Nightmare lost its corporeal form, reduced to just its eye and a swirling black mass.

Next, Dante unleashed a barrage of fireballs at Griffon. The lightning-fast demon tried to evade the fiery onslaught, but Dante's speed surpassed even lightning itself. Griffon plummeted to the ground, defeated swiftly by Dante, who had now conquered his brothers familiars.

Dante reverted from his Sin Devil trigger, returning to his human form. He lowered himself to face the defeated demons, taking a moment to catch his breath after the intense battle they had just endured.
