"...Greed demon?"
The world around Dante slowed down. Instinctively, Dante turned his centipede into a sword and spun around, aiming his sword to the neck of the mysterious man behind him.
Just then, the man blocked the blade by gripping it with his bare hand, causing Dante's jaw to drop in disbelief and preventing him from pulling it free.
Centipede of Greed — Abyssal Slash!
Boom!
The sword glowed faintly before unleashing an abyssal slash, causing an explosion that affected even Dante due to how close he was.
'Explosion?!'
The Abyssal Slash explodes only if it falls to slice through its target.
'Damn it—!'
All of a sudden, the man let go of Dante's shoulder and gripped his neck, raising him above the ground as if raising a toy.
Dante's eyes widened as he saw a familiar person, a man with golden hair and golden beard.
He wore golden armor without a helmet, standing over 2.3 meters tall with an air of pressure and authority.
'The… baron...'
