YM778.TV Chapter 57: Keep Fighting!
The pain still throbbed in his chest, but the blade that had pierced him was no longer a concern.
Thanks to his demonic heritage, his body was regenerating quickly, aided by one of his abilities…
Blood manipulation.
He had used everything he had and, thankfully, managed to heal his heart almost immediately after the blade had struck. It was time, the moment had come, and there was nothing left to do but release a warm breath.
A mist of hot air escaped his lips as he listened around him. The sounds of growling, blades being unsheathed, and claws scraping the concrete and asphalt echoed, like the deadly symphony of destruction preparing to play its final, fatal notes.
"Ah~ I hope this will be fun..." Vergil murmured, his body heating up, causing more steam to escape his mouth.
The demons were ready, hungry, eager to feast on the targets before them—the three Demon Heiresses and... that man, their primary objective after Ada Baal.
There was no more time for conversation.
"Fuck it," Roxanne was the first to move, storming toward the horde like a living tempest. Her blade gleamed with insane speed as she slashed through the first group of demons that dared to approach. Blood and flesh flew in all directions, heads severed with cruel precision.
Her sadistic grin grew wider with each strike, as the demons fell before her, one after another.
\'W-was she always this brutal?\' Vergil wondered for a moment.
"Who... DARED... to ATTACK... MY DARLING!" she roared, summoning a whirlwind of wind that quickly turned crimson, sucking in and shredding the demons.
"Now this is what I call fun!" Roxanne screamed, spinning through the battlefield with deadly grace, her sword twirling as an extension of her own body.
"Well... fuck it." Vergil wasted no time.

He shot forward with superhuman speed, the sound of his footsteps barely audible as he launched himself into the fray.
His fists tore through the air with brutal force, punching the demons that came close with the impact of a battering ram.
Each hit was lethal—skulls exploded, ribs shattered, and bodies crumpled as if crushed by an invisible force.
In the blink of an eye, he grabbed the neck of a larger demon, a brute with two horns who had tried to strike him with a club.
Vergil twisted the creature\'s arm with ease, ripping the club from its grasp before smashing its skull into the ground with such force that the impact left a crater.
"Just a normal day, huh?" Katharina muttered sarcastically as she used her superior agility to avoid the incoming attacks. Her small, lethal daggers were like vipers, striking in precise intervals. She danced between the demons, dodging their claws and puncturing their hearts and throats with relentless efficiency.
"You\'re no match for us," she laughed, slicing the wings off a demon that tried to lift her into the air, only to send it crashing to the ground with a shrill scream.
Ada stood further back, her eyes assessing the situation with tense calm. She conjured pure blood, releasing volleys of blood-shaped stakes at the distant demons. The creatures\' cries filled the air as they were impaled and melted into the ground of the battle dimension.
"Don\'t let your guard down," Ada warned, releasing another burst of blood that cut through three demons at once. "There are many more coming."
And she was right. From all sides, the horde seemed endless. The demons, ranging from small and agile to hulking, muscular beasts, kept pouring in like a black tide, their eyes glowing with hunger and madness.
\'That damned bitch... she\'s sending the fodder first, the throwaways... When the real ones arrive...\' Ada thought, slaying more and more demons.
Vergil quickly spun around, blocking the attack of a winged demon that swooped down on him with razor-sharp claws. He sidestepped, and with a swift motion, ripped off one of its wings.
The demon roared in agony, but Vergil didn\'t hesitate, driving the club he had stolen from the previous demon straight through its chest, piercing it completely.
On the other side, Katharina was facing off against a four-armed creature, its claws slicing through the air with destructive force. But Katharina, nimble as a shadow, danced between its attacks. With a twirl, she leaped onto the creature\'s back, severing the tendons with precise strikes before spinning and decapitating it in one clean motion.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Roxanne, already drenched in blood, laughed maniacally as she sliced another demon in half. "NO ONE TOUCHES MY HUSBAND!" Her eyes gleamed with pleasure as she tore through her enemies with ruthless brutality. The ground around her was a sea of mutilated bodies and demon blood.
"More! I want more!" she screamed as another wave of demons charged at her. Her arms were moving faster now, as if each new foe was fuel for her growing bloodlust.
But despite the carnage they were wreaking, the demons\' numbers kept increasing. It was as though Hell itself had opened its gates and unleashed all its creatures to crush them.
"These bastards…" Ada muttered, feeling fatigue beginning to creep in. She fired another blood sphere that expanded like a spiked wrecking ball, annihilating another horde of demons, but for a moment, she felt her energy wane. "They just keep coming."
Vergil, now surrounded by several demons, kicked one of the creatures so hard it was launched into the sky, disappearing into the dark clouds above the dimension. "We just need to keep the pace. They may be many, but they don\'t have our power."
The ground beneath them began to tremble, and a deep roar echoed from afar. Something large was approaching.
From the horizon, a massive figure began to emerge. A colossal demon, its back hunched like a living mountain, dragging an enormous chain behind it. Its eyes glowed with primordial hatred, and its claws looked capable of crushing an army.
"Ah, fantastic," Katharina muttered, narrowing her eyes. "As if things weren\'t bad enough."
"Focus!" Vergil shouted, knowing this new threat could be deadly if they didn\'t deal with it swiftly.
The colossal demon advanced, each step making the earth quake. Vergil gritted his teeth, preparing for the attack, but before he could act, the creature swung the massive chain in his direction. He barely had time to leap aside, the chain crashing into the ground where he stood with enough force to carve a deep fissure.
"Well, well," Vergil murmured, his eyes glowing with a mix of challenge and excitement. "Looks like we finally have an opponent worth our time."
