Chapter 440: Awakening

Roy did not say anything else and let everyone stay here while he flew out of the rift valley with Sparda’s soul and headed for the points of the pentagram that he had calculated.

Most of the places in the Demon World were dark wilderness, and demons and monsters were only roaming sparsely. But the area near Demon King City was a city of demons, and the number of demons living nearby was much denser.

This situation was very normal. After all, the nominal ruler of the Demon World, Mundus, was in Demon King City. Demons would spontaneously approach this place. Once the ruler needed them, he could immediately recruit these demons living nearby to form a massive demon army.

After all, wars, destruction, ruin, and killing were the most popular entertainment activities of demons…

However, although there were many demons living near Demon King City, because Mundus was sealed, he was currently ruling only in name. Without being able to sense the aura of a demon king, the demons lived here in a loose and independent behavior. They occupied territories among themselves as lairs, fought and hunted other demons, and while reproducing, they were constantly increasing their strength. This looked no different from the demons in the Abyss.

Precisely because of this, when Roy’s demon lord aura appeared, demons would spontaneously pursue him. The other four points of the pentagram also had powerful demons entrenched in them. But unlike the whip demons, these demons still had the rationality and thinking of demons. When Roy appeared, they all maintained their reverence for him. Although they followed him, they did not obstruct him.

Thus, Roy successfully found the rest of Sparda’s body parts at the other four points. As he had guessed earlier, there was the right arm, left leg, right leg, and torso with the head.

Without exception, these body parts of Sparda were hidden very well. They were either deep underground or at the bottom of a deep body of water. These places were places that demons usually had difficulty reaching. Even when Roy found these body parts, the demons entrenched in the periphery were still ignorant and did not know when a sealing magic formation had appeared in their lair.

This made Roy believe that Sparda had not alarmed these demons when he set up these sealing formations. He should have teleported directly to the depths of these demons’ lairs and completed all of this without the demons knowing, so these demons did not know that they had actually become guardians of the seals invisibly…

Perhaps someone would ask, are these demons stupid? Can’t they feel Sparda’s aura?

The answer was yes. The demons could not sense any trace of Sparda’s aura because these sealing arrays extracted Sparda’s magic power. Since the seals were constantly operating, it meant that there was no possibility of Sparda’s magic power aura leaking out. Even the demons nearby had not found Sparda, let alone Mundus, who was far away in Demon King City. This was also why Mundus had not been able to find traces of Sparda for decades.

This was true darkness under the light! Sparda cleverly completed all of this under Mundus’s nose. Mundus had sent people to search the entire Demon World, but he had never expected that Sparda was actually just twenty kilometers away from his demon king city…

After figuring all of this out, Roy could not help but exclaim at Sparda’s boldness. He found that not only did Sparda absorb his magic power and aura with the seal formations, but he could not even find any traces of Sparda’s soul in all of his body parts. It was probably shielded and blocked by the seal formations.

There was no leakage of magic power, and there were no signs of soul activity. These body parts of Sparda seemed to be really dead. In simpler terms, they were tools without souls. If Roy had not pulled out Sparda’s soul fragments from Dante’s and Vergil’s weapons and used them for guidance, it would have absolutely been impossible to find his main body.

Hehe, the legendary demon swordsman, Dark Knight Sparda…

Roy was now at the fifth point. In the seal in front of him was Sparda’s torso. This torso naturally did not have arms and legs, but the black armor that looked like a carapace was still on. Behind the torso, the elytra-like demon wings folded up like a cloak… Roy was puzzled as to how he managed to complete the last sealing formation without limbs.

On Sparda’s head, a pair of large black demon horns curved down, with a scarlet color at the tips. Sparda’s helmet connected to his demon horns, and it was a whole. There was a long gap in the helmet on his forehead, and it had a long and narrow red crystal inlaid in it. This crystal kept emitting a faint light, and it looked like Sparda’s third eye.

Sparda, who was lying in the middle of the seal formation, had his eyes closed and looked silent. But only by placing his hand on Sparda’s body and carefully sensing could Roy feel the blood flow and magic power flow in his body.

After Roy found this torso, he stretched out his demon claws and poked Sparda with his index finger. But even so, Sparda still did not wake up.

Roy rubbed his chin, shook his demon tail, and began to ponder.

In fact, Roy had not rashly moved Sparda’s body parts in the five seal formations. He had not thought of forcefully removing these seal formations. Now that he looked at Sparda’s true body, he kept thinking about the meaning of his actions.

The ‘thing’ that Sparda wanted to seal must have suddenly appeared. Otherwise, Sparda would not have used his body as the sealing item in such a hurry. But it seemed unlikely that Sparda would continue to stay as the sealing item forever. When he disappeared, it was not long after he rescued Dante and Vergil from their predicament. Of course, he should know that his two sons were still in the human world. Wasn’t he worried about how his two sons were doing?

Demons actually cared a lot about their descendants, and the stronger the demon, the more it was so. Even Julia and Benia wanted to have a child with Roy, let alone a demon full of human nature like Sparda.

Roy was certain that Sparda must have had a backup plan when he sealed himself. Generally speaking, when self-sealing, only you could unseal yourself. And if you wanted to unseal yourself, you had to wake up first. So while he might have been in a hurry at the time, he had probably left a way to escape.

And this method was very likely his soul fragments sealed in the several weapons!

However, Sparda might have imagined that when his two sons, Dante and Vergil, came to find him, they would use the soul fragments in their weapons to help him wake up, then he would unseal himself. But he would never have thought that Roy, a demon who suddenly interfered, would gather his soul fragments from Dante and Vergil first.

With this thought, Roy took out Sparda’s soul fragment. He only took a glance at it before holding it and pressing it down on Sparda’s torso!

The Sparda projection in this soul fragment struggled unwillingly, as though it did not want to return to its main body and fuse with it. But Roy had already expected this. Under his forceful suppression, this soul fragment finally fused into Sparda’s body. After a faint light flashed twice, it fell silent again.

However, after the soul fragment entered, Sparda still had no reaction.

Roy frowned and then thought of a possibility, so through the spiritual connection, he asked Fat Tiger to bring everyone to him.

After waiting for a while, Fat Tiger brought everyone to him. Before they could be surprised about seeing Sparda’s torso, Roy opened his hands and grabbed Dante and Vergil through the air.

“Hey! What do you want to do?” Dante and Vergil struggled in the air, but they could not escape from Roy’s Psychokinesis.

“Cut open your wrists and drip your blood into Sparda’s mouth!” Roy ordered. “The soul fragment has entered, but your father shows no signs of waking up. He might need your bloodline to awaken!”

“Is… is that so?” Dante and Vergil were stunned for a moment and then looked at each other. After Roy let go of them, they followed Roy’s instructions.

One drop, two drops, three drops, four drops… The blood on the two brothers’ wrists kept dripping into Sparda’s mouth, and Sparda, who was lying quietly in the seal formation, suddenly opened his eyes!

Not only his eyes, but even the long and narrow crystal on his forehead burst out with intense light at the same moment. At the same time, an incomparably powerful magic power aura suddenly appeared from Sparda’s torso!

The powerful magic power brought with it an immense magic power pressure that instantly swept through everything around, startling Julia and Benia.

“How is this possible? This magic power pressure… feels stronger than Osiris’s?!”

Julia and Benia looked at Sparda, who opened his eyes, in surprise and doubt. They began to believe the legend of this demon lord sealing a demon king…

Roy was surprised by Sparda’s strength. He could feel that Sparda’s magic power was indeed far stronger than his, but considering Sparda’s age, it was not strange. This demon lord in front of him was at least nine thousand years old. It was not unusual for him to accumulate such powerful magic power over such a long period of time.

But it was one thing to have powerful magic power, and another to have combat strength. Roy was still very confident in his current combat strength. He would not lose to Sparda if he fought seriously.

Although he was still trapped in the seal formation, the return of this powerful magic power did indicate Sparda’s awakening.

However, before Sparda could wake up and say his first sentence, everyone suddenly felt another equally powerful magic power appear! And the source of this magic power was in the direction of Demon King City!

“Sparda!!!” A furious roar resounded throughout the entire Demon World. “So you’re here!?!?”

When everyone heard this roar, their expressions changed drastically, including Roy’s.

It’s Mundus! Damn it! Wasn’t it said he was sleeping?!
