"So you're my son."
Vergil looked at the Variant of his supposed son with interest, the only woman he had bed was someone from the church that worshiped his father and he doesn't expect the first woman that he loses his virginity to be the mother of his child.
A few seconds prior he was resting as he had just finished killing a horde of demons that were hunting him, he took refuge in a nearby cave as being out in the open while you're in the underworld was suicide.
"So what now are you gonna give me some random advice that you took from my head 'father'?"
"Hmm, you should watch your tongue boy and what do you mean give you advice from your head?. How would I do that exactly?"
Hearing Virgil's question and putting it together Victor concluded that he wasn't able to read his mind specifically his memories and it would make sense as unlike his grandmother if Virgil knew about his future he would definitely try his all to change it.
"Don't gotta watch my tongue when I'm literally just a hologram old man."
"Tsk, are you sure you aren't Dante's son?"
"Red isn't exactly my color, and with my hair slick back I look alot like you"
"Dante looks like me when his hair slick back, that's how twins work boy."
After having a short conversation between each other the father and son duo sat in silence as Vergil kept an eye outside for any demons while Victor was admiring the view of the Underworld, suddenly a worm like demon appeared and leaped towards Vergil who didn't even bother looking at it as a small spectral sword made out of his inferno appeared and stabbed the demon killing it.
"How do you do that so easily, doesn't it hurt like hell?"
Hearing Victor's question Vergil looked at him with a gaze and as if knowing what he meant Victor formed a small sword made out of his inferno and his current blue spiritual form seemed to have dimmed slightly, seeing Victor form a mirage blade Vergil looked at him as if he was an idiot.
"You're doing it wrong."
"No shit Sherlock."
"Just watch."
Vergil formed three mirage blades and made them float near him and with a flick of his finger the two out of the three mirage blades went into separate directions and Vergil disappeared with a flash, but not long after the single mirage blade that was replaced by Vergils figure now holding the throat of an Imp before applying pressure to it and killing the poor thing.
"You don't rip a piece of your soul and mold it instantly, you instead need to make sure there's a small connection with yourself and whatever you're creating unless you want to feel the pain."
Hearing Vergils explanation Victor couldn't help but feel like he was the stupidest being on the entire multiverse, you see when using mirage he would do what Vergil said and rip out a piece of his Inferno which was his soul and use it as a weapon severing the connection with it. But what Vergil did was form the mirage blades but still left the connection the easiest way to explain this would be something similar to gum.
Victor needed to not just rip the two pieces of gum off each other in an instance but instead gently pull them apart so when he needed to teleport to his mirage blades he could just pull himself to the blade.
'So that's why I couldn't use his 'Teleportation' .'
Victor didn't say anything as he sat in silence across his genetic father, he didn't know how to feel or what to say. In his past life Victor was a big fanboy of Vergil but now after everything he had experienced he didn't know how to feel, If he were to tell his past self that he would be a badass demon hunter he would probably be excited. But now his naive point of view was already messed up and he knew his attitude of making quips and jokes during fights was just a way to cope on how scared he was.
"Strange."
Breaking their silence Vergil looked out of the cave to see that the seal seperating the Human world and the underworld had another crack appear, this seal was up in the sky in the form of multiple blue slashes in space itself. Vergil stood up and made his way outside of the cave and as he did so Victor began fading away just like how his time with Eva had run out but he couldn't help but be curious on what his 'Father' was gonna do.
"So what are you gonna do about that thing..."
"Hmm, I suggest you mind your own business."
Vergil didn't say anything else as he leaped from the ground and started making his way towards the crack on the seal, but as he did so Victor couldn't help but think on how different Vergil was.
'Then again Visions of V showed how broken Vergil actually was.'
That was Victor's last thoughts as his consciousness disappeared from the underworld and the last thing he saw was his father with Yamato in hand approach the crack .
[Dimensions May Die]
It was never showed how demons came to the human world other than being summoned by Magic Circles casted by cults, but then I remembered how Sparda sealed the DemonWorld and that seal had to be weakening for demons to actually escape.
[Dimensions May Die]
"S-So did you find a way to fix the sword!?"
After seeing Victor pass out for an hour and wake up Raku suspected that it had to do something with the Yamato, but instead he was left disappointed when Victor shook his head in annoyance.
"So we're all stuck here with a demon hunting us." Aizawa was currently leaning on a tree clearly still injured as his wounds that were bandaged up and healed by Rem's minimal knowledge in Healing Magic began to slightly bleed.
"This is quite troublesome indeed..."
Despite Rem's bland words and reply anyone could notice how nervous she was, even someone like Raku could sense it.
"I think you guys should leave, you won't be able to make it out alive if you fight him."
Now hearing Victor's words each of them had different reactions, Raku was confused he had just seen a battered and bruised Victor barely survive his encounter with their target and now Victor wanted to fight him again. Rem was worried for her friend as despite them only knowing each other for a total month she felt a bond towards them so hearing how Victor wanted to fight alone Rem didn't believe that he won't be able to make it out alive.
Aizawa on the other hand understood what Victor meant, all of them were completely useless even with their new abilities and gear it was nothing against their target who he knew from Victor explanation of what biological demons were and who created them would be someone out of his league. But that didn't mean he wasn't worried about Victor because he reminded him of someone and he didn't want him to die just like he did, but with a sigh he couldn't help but agree.
"You're right we won't be able to help you when It comes to fighting 'Muzan', even Rem won't be able to do anything. But what makes you think fighting him and his demons alone would make a difference when you lost the last time."
"I honestly don't know, but it's better than have either of your blood in my hands."
Victor and Aizawa looked at each other causing the surrounding to be tense, Rem and Raku thought they were going to fight but instead Aizawa placed a hand of Victor's shoulder.
"Don't die."
"Don't worry old man I won't, just look out for a notification from the system when I beat Michael Jackson's ass."
Without saying anything further Victor immediately grabbed his things before projecting his wings and making his way towards the direction he just ran from, while Rem on the other hand reached for him and tried calling out his name but was stopped by Aizawa who grabbed her shoulder before shaking his head.
[Meanwhile back in the village]
The once peaceful and thriving village that boasted about their wonderful Onsens was now a sea of flames, the streets were littered with corpses being eaten by lesser demons and some were even having their way with the dead bodies of the women. But in the middle of it all was Hyakkimaru bound in a hogtie on the shoulder of Muzan's Puppet version of Akaza, and behind them was the decapitated body of Dororo.
"RAGHHHH!!!"
Hyakkimaru did everything from flailing around to bitting 'Akaza' but it was all useless, now Hyakkimaru didn't know what Dororo looked like but his ability to see the flame of someone's soul showed him how her soul slowly started to fade away. But sadly he wasn't strong enough to handle Akaza, who despite not having an actual conscious was still a formidable opponent.
"Lay him down there."
Muzan commanded Akaza as he dragged a man with all his limbs removed leaving him just a torso and a head near Hyakkimaru, this man was one of the many system users that were fooled by the false ranking Muzan had and was immediately defeated and captured.
"Since that faker escaped I might as well get over with plan B, congratulations my dear friend you will now be able to finally rest in peace."
The gagged system user started to flail around in fear but it was a futile attempt as a red and white wire that came from Muzan's system pierced his heart while another pierced Hyakkimaru's heart but unlike the now dead system user it didn't seem to be fatal with Hyakkimaru.
[System Transferring...]
Muzan smiled as he looked at his system, what he was doing was something akin to a transplant he was transferring the low rated system his attacker had too Hyakkimaru.
"It's only a matter of time before I escape this wretched world, and you my dear friend are gonna help me with that."
