Chapter 201: All the troubled women met
"Kaalindra," Valentina said, and immediately the woman appeared. "Since when are you so weak as to be knocked out with one blow?" She questioned seriously. "Sorry, My Lady, it was a plan of Morgana's to let Dante deal with things with you."
Upon hearing the response, Valentina couldn't help but bite her tongue, after all... "What happened?" She inquired. Dante, however, remained silent, unlike minutes before; he became the focus of the issue again.
"Ask our husband," Morgana said seriously, and Valentina looked into Dante's eyes, who quickly turned his head and began to whistle.
"F-fi-fi-fi-fi-fi," he began to release Valentina's waist and step away, sensing that something would happen. "Morgana... He..." Valentina murmured, almost speaking in code, but Morgana clearly understood what she was referring to. "Yes," she replied.
Dante felt a shiver down his spine quickly; it seemed like two dragons had joined forces to devour him. "I thought you were calm!" Dante quickly shouted in Morgana's direction, who already had her eyes completely blackened; he felt the shadow of death lightly hovering over him.
"Dante Scarlet," Valentina said, her steps began to sink into the ground, leaving a trail of magma. "She's gotten stronger!" Dante shouted internally as he walked backwards slowly, still watching the approaching woman.
"My dear mommy, love of my life... I didn't do anything! I swear!" he said, raising his hands, trying to understand the situation the best he could, but... These women were irrational...
"It seems my work here is done. Come to my realm when you've sorted out the issues with these two women; I'd love to understand how a dead man revived. We can have tea!" Alice said, waving her hands to him...
"Alice... Mother-in-law, please! Help me! I'll tell you the secret of reincarnation!" he shouted quickly, but she made a "o7" gesture to him, while smiling playfully. Not even Dante knew that witch understood common human gestures...
"I remember very well... we agreed that when you were to be with a woman, she had to be approved by us," Valentina said, and Dante's whole body trembled, remembering that day... "I-it's not exactly like that, y-you know," he said, stuttering. Valentina's gaze started to ignite with each moment he tried to step away and she insisted on pursuing him. "I'm absolutely sure you agreed.
Remember?" She questioned again, as he walked backwards, but soon... His steps were definitively cut off.
Valentina grabbed his collar firmly and looked into his eyes. "How many?" She asked. Dante, however, turned to the right without facing the woman... "If I find out by myself, I'll kill you," Valentina said, however, Dante knew she wouldn't do that... Right? He was already starting to break out in a cold sweat...
"I revived just to have you back, and now you're threatening me?" He commented, nervously laughing, trying to find an escape, but this irrational woman...
"Morgana," she said seriously, and Morgana quickly responded. "Counting you and me, this brat now has about... hmm let's see." Morgana began to think, while Dante's heart pounded like a bomb, ready to explode at any moment. "Currently, he has 7..." She said... Valentina slightly trembled. "How many years have passed since I was sealed?" She asked.
"Only ten years," Morgana said, nodding at the "only."
"I'll kill you," Valentina said, trembling, Dante's collar already starting to burn, and he felt the flame nearing his neck... "Well, maybe there are more? I mean, of course, I'm sure he wouldn't let the other 5 escape," Morgana commented. When she looked again, Valentina was holding him by the neck. "Hey, calm down, he awakened just a few weeks ago," Morgana spoke.
"Morgana, shut up! She's going to kill me!" Dante said quickly, stiffening his whole body to free himself from the woman, but... "Enough, Valentina." A woman held Valentina's arm that was lifting Dante. Morgana looked at the scene a bit astonished... Valentina's special eyes, which could previously understand people, started to go wild, and she had a slight headache looking at the woman...
"Voralith, step back," Dante said, knowing they couldn't face each other. "Quiet," she replied, her demeanor towards him changing completely suddenly. "I thought you didn't care about him," Morgana said. "My feelings for him don't concern you, Witch," Voralith replied seriously...
"I hate having so many incredibly crazy women by my side," Dante said, feeling all of them beginning to close in. In fact...
"So, you're back, hi!" Valentina heard coming from the skies, the Enormous Phoenix now looking like a little bird. "Tsk, you're here too, just missing telling me you were seduced by my son," she commented. "Hm? I'm a spirit," she said. "That one there was too," Morgana commented, pointing at Voralith. "Let go, he's dying," Voralith spoke again, and Valentina shoved her.
"Don't touch me," she said, letting Dante fall on his butt.
"Ouch," he grunted in pain, feeling Valentina approaching again, he looked at her.
"We'll have a long talk, boy," Valentina said seriously as she summoned Gungnir back into her hand. "And what's the story with merging my weapon with yours?" she said and once again the red spear flew into her hand and she broke it in half. "Tsk, legacies," she said and tossed the sword to Dante.
"Now, can someone explain to me why there's a Dragon heading our way?" she said, looking to the skies. "Wow, an Arcane Dragon, it's been millennia since I've seen one, last time was that black Dragon we killed in ancient times," Igris commented.
"Damn it..." Dante murmured, after all... Velryna, Vex, Sara, and Nagasawa were coming his way, and especially Eldrax... "I'm going to die," Dante murmured as he began to conjure a magic circle at his feet. "None of that," Morgana said and the circle shattered. "You're not getting away," she said, looking him directly in the eyes, Dante had no chance of escaping, he just accepted his fate.
Soon the women began to appear at the scene... it was literally the first time all those women had met... And Dante began to break out in a cold sweat seeing them all.
Eldrax was the first to descend, while carrying Velryna, Nafiri, Misty, Aldria, and Mercedes in a magical sphere. Then, Sara's angelic wings folded and she landed on the ground, along with Nagasawa and Elizabeth... who was actually starting to feel uncomfortable being around so many people who loved the same man. "Why am I here?" she questioned Sara, "Be quiet," she replied quickly.
Valentina looked at the scene, clenching her fists, and when she turned around, a succubus was helping Dante to his feet. "Are you alright, dear?" Vex questioned while holding his hand, "Yes, I'm fine," he replied, at the same time, Valentina raised her aura, however... None of them felt threatened.
"At least you didn't bring trash home," Valentina murmured angrily, correctly analyzing all the women. "Dante," she called. "Yes?"
"Start talking, how did you come back to life. Before I end it again," Valentina said firmly holding his fists that were already glowing, ready to destroy Dante.
"Yes! Right away!" he said quickly as a puppet, after all... the only one he truly bowed to answer to, was Valentina... and if he refused to do so... Well, the training he had as a child was brutal with only 5% of her power... Imagine if Valentina used 90%...
He didn't even want to think about it and just did what she wanted...
While all this was happening... Let's just say Lilith was not at all pleased with the demons' problems but...
"Paimon," Lilith said and a demon Maid appeared. "Yes, Empress," Paimon bowed, currently she was one of the only Demon Kings who submitted to Lilith, well... she was lazy and didn't want to fight in a lost war.
"Our forces...", Lilith commented as she held the Legendary Blade in her hands as if she were holding a bread knife.
"Baal refused to participate in this, Beleth is also out of the game. So besides me and Vine, all the demon kings are against you, Empress," she commented.
"I understand Baal... but Beleth? Why doesn't that strange man want to participate in something like this?" Lilith questioned, letting her thoughts slip and Paimon completed. "It seems he's about to become a father." Upon hearing that, Lilith stared at Paimon with a dead look. "Since when did that man care about fatherhood?" She questioned and Paimon shrugged, showing she didn't know...
"So, Asmodeus Balam Zagan and Belial are siding with Lucifer...", Lilith murmured. "My Lady, if you allow me...", Paimon wanted to say something and Lilith agreed, listening to what the woman had to say "Say."
"When will the Demon King of Devastation come? I don't want to doubt you, but... Is this man reliable? I mean, he's a new Demon King," Paimon commented, Lilith could only laugh lightly at the situation "He's not a Demon King, Paimon." Paimon looked at Lilith without understanding.
"Let's just say Dante Scarlet... Might be your Emperor," she commented with a grim smile "Emperor?! but! He would be the Emperor if..." She began to mutter and then she froze...
"My Empress... You... are you getting married?" She commented trembling, after all... Lilith was not a very sociable demon. "Well, let's just say I'm already married," she said smiling as she held a paper in front of her and smiled at Paimon.
