"What did you do with him?" Dante inquired inside the Sanctuary, looking at the woman in front of him, extremely sexy, who swayed from side to side with excitement, replying, "Sent him to the lower fields, to play around with some male demons," she said, smiling.
Dante wasn't sure if that was good or bad, but he knew exactly what kind of play Ethan's soul was being treated to...
"What are they doing to him?" Dante questioned, and Evangeline showed a small screen, where Ethan's soul was clearly being used as...
"They're playing soccer with his soul?" Dante questioned, seeing the unreal scene of a soul being used as a soccer ball.
"Hm? Yes, I isolated it within a dome that reflects soul's pain, but doesn't damage its form. Now he must be quite injured, it's been 1000 hours since he's been there," she said as if it was nothing. "A thousand hours? Didn't I send him here 10 hours ago?" Dante questioned, and Evangeline nodded. "Time here passes 100 times faster, Master."
"Oh, right," Dante said, at this moment he realized... "Evangeline, I've been here for ten minutes..." "Yes, you've lost over an hour in the mortal world." Upon hearing this... Dante shuddered for a second.
"Darn," he thought, and quickly opened a gate and disappeared, leaving Evangeline alone... "Did I do wrong? Should I have cast Ethan's soul into the Lust fields for him to be screwed by male demons?" She questioned, but began to walk again while straightening up the Sanctuary.
As for Dante...
"You jerk! You promised to be here!" Sara's deafening voice echoed. "Hey, calm down!" Dante said quickly, trying to explain himself, but began to receive small slaps on the chest. "Liar! Liar! Liar!" It sounded...
rather cute.
He would even let her continue, but today wasn't the time for it. "Calm down," Dante said, holding the woman in a tight hug, preventing her from moving.
"What happened?" He questioned, and she pouted. "You said you were coming! Why did it take you over an hour!" She yelled quickly, and Dante felt a bit awkward. "Well..." he murmured then, "I was elsewhere..."
Dante decided not to reveal about the Sanctuary yet, for a few reasons... First, to prevent any of these crazy women from having the brilliant idea of following Dante when he opens a portal and ends up dying instantly upon stepping into the Sanctuary, after all...
the Sanctuary is not just a "Location," it's a physical representation of Dante's existence in Hell, meaning the living cannot step there.
The only one who could enter there would be Vex, after all, she's a demon too, who by the way has a physical body. Something that Dante has been wondering since he connected his soul to hers during the incident, when he healed her, he captured her soul. How is a Demon alive and with her own body? That was now a mystery he would try to talk to Vex about to understand.
"Is her Father still alive?" Dante questioned and Sara... "We think he's got just a few hours left, I thought about contacting the heavens but..."
"Don't count on the divine hypocrites, I tried to speak with them, but no one wanted to listen to me, that old man didn't want to give me an audience," Dante said and Sara's eyes widened. "You know about them?!"
"Hm? Of course, I've spoken with the Heavenly Father, a few weeks ago," Dante said, and Sara's face went as white as a sheet...
"Y-y-y-you spoke with the H-h-h-heavenly F-f-f-father???" She asked, clearly having a panic attack.
"Hm?
Yes, he was letting idiots with the church's name kidnap children, so I went to ask for the Longinus Spear, but he didn't lend it to me, at least I got information and found Vex because of him, so I owe the old man one, but he didn't want to talk to me this time," Dante said and Sara looked at him incredulously, not knowing what to say, because it was so absurd what he just said that she simply froze.
"H-how do you know about Longinus?" Sara questioned, but Dante just scratched his head, refusing to tell and saying, "I found out in Lilith's dungeon when I was young, I also found Eve's body," Dante said, and Sara's face turned even paler...
"Eve's... body?" She was starting to have a crisis... the girl had never heard so many absurdities before...
"Yes, I used the remnants of Eva's soul to create that demon whom I granted the authority of Avarice. It's a pity her soul is fragmented, but at least she managed to have the same appearance as Eva. Perhaps by retrieving the fragments, I can bring Eva's memory back," Dante said.
Sara literally froze. She couldn't even think of saying anything. She stood there, white as a sheet, staring at Dante. There were so many absurdities that her brain's processing froze.
"Sara?" Dante questioned, waving his hand in front of her eyes. "I think she couldn't handle all your nonsense," the female voice passed through her ears. It was a woman Dante had his eye on, after all, she was slowly distancing herself from him.
"Already thinking of leaving?" Dante questioned, seeing the white hair being hit by the sunlight streaming through the window. They were in the hallway while Sara was frozen as if time had stopped.
"Leaving?" Voralith questioned. Despite not accepting the situation well, she wouldn't leave. "Well, you've even stopped looking me in the eyes, probably want to leave already, don't you? You've got everything you wanted, you've revived," Voralith heard those words and gave a slight tremble, she hadn't even realized it.
"What are you saying, stop being an idiot," Voralith said and passed by him. But before leaving him behind, she heard: "Are you leaving?" Dante questioned, but Voralith never answered him.
"Idiot," Voralith thought as she clenched her fists and silently walked away after staring at Dante.
In fact, many unsaid things should be told to Dante, but Voralith... was on the verge of giving up on that. After all, unlike Dante, who had a common ascension, only returning his body and his powers to the equivalent level... During Dante's rebirth, it wasn't just Dante who received some new things. The former Dragon Empress also received something... something she wanted to remember, many years ago.
It was a story that died millions of years ago and no longer mattered at this moment. After all, everything was over and the sector where Voralith came from might not even exist anymore.
"Why now?" She wondered, as she continued to walk alone through the palace corridors, upset and hurt by memories she shouldn't give importance to.
"Aren't you going after her?" Dante, who saw the woman disappear around the corner, heard Sara saying. He turned around and saw that she was also watching the scene. "She needs some time, something happened," Dante said and Sara commented, "She seems really serious." Dante nodded, remembering some comedic moments that Voralith caused precisely because she didn't care about anything...
"She turned me into a woman for a few weeks," Dante commented, and Sara raised her eyebrows, looking at Dante. "You're joking, right?"
When Sara blinked, Dante had disappeared and a girl of her age, with white hair and golden eyes like Voralith, appeared.
"Hey," Dante said... "Come back immediately or I'll summon Durandal to kill you," she said seriously and Dante returned to normal. "Thank you."
"What are you planning to do?" Dante heard and replied, "She'll have her time, now I need to focus on what I want for the future. I'm thinking of going to visit Vlad," Dante commented.
"Are you going to fetch your mother? Valentina must already be about to destroy everything if she goes out and doesn't see you alive there waiting for her," Dante heard that and just smiled. "It's okay, knowing the woman who raised me... well, you'll see," Dante said with a very passionate smile.
"Tsk, I hate it when you talk about others when we're alone," Sara said and Dante looked at her with another smile and held her in his arms, kissing her gently as she surrendered more, after all, unlike Dante who had kissed before, both Morgana and Valentina, Sara was having her first experiences.
"Mmmm," she lightly moaned and they parted. "Strawberry gloss? You were well prepared in..." Dante said with a smile and Sara turned completely red and gave him a small punch on his chest.
As they stared at each other, a sound came from the hallway and Dante turned around. It was a complicated sound... "Darn..." Dante muttered.
"Go," Sara said, releasing her hands from Dante's body and nodding her head. She had already understood some things, and now, she knew it wasn't her time... and Velryna would need Dante more than her at this moment.
"Thank you, I'll make it up to you later," Dante said with a smile and a kiss on her forehead...
Dante was now going to face for the first time a problem he never expected he would have to deal with.
The death of someone important to those he loves.
