The attack was caught by Dante's mind, before slamming his fist into the enemy's stomach.
'This is a pretty cool sword,' Dante thought as he glided his steel-covered hand over the frozen blade.
[ Name: Broken wind ]
[ Strength: 1,000 ]
[ Durability [ 2,500/2,500 ]
[ Weight 2.3lbs ]
[ Material used: Frostenite ]

'Pretty good indeed' Dante said as he manipulated the blade, swinging it toward the enemy.
The figure formed an ice shield out of thin air, the shield quickly caught the blade as the figure left the shield in place, rotating their body around it before a hidden blade came out of its sleeves, their slender fingers grabbing it as they charged toward Dante. Dante was unmoving as he manipulated the blade to block every attack that came his way, the sounds of blades colliding were all that was heard, as the person chanted.
"Shing*
*Shing*
*Shing*
The battle continued, neither of them seeming fazed by the prolonged fight. The figure flash stepped around twenty feet away from Dante as a large amount of mana could be seen gathering above her head.
"Sesna," A cold voice rang from the figure, and the sharpened forming nine frozen spikes atop the slender figure's head.
*Suu*
*Suu*
The gigantic spikes flew at an alarming speed, quickly appearing before Dante's still visage.
"Hmmm?" Dante placed his hand on his chin, deciding to end this charade.
"Why are you here?" Dante asked the figure as his telekinesis caught the spikes.
"That is none of your concer-" The mysterious woman's neck was suddenly found in Dante's grasp before Dante's nano-bionic armored mask revealed his alluring face as he brought the woman's face close to his.
"Yes...It...is," Dante took away her mask, a pale white face greeted him, the eyes of the coldblooded woman, one a silver blue, the other exuding a very uncomfortable feeling of dread. The woman's sleek black hair slowly grew, as the tips of her grand locks revealed thousands of tiny daggers pointing toward them both. The woman was willing to kill herself before she gave away the details of her mission to this bastard.
"Cut that shit out," The command halted the movement of the daggers, as the woman's hair returned to its original length.
"Now...why the hell are you trespassing?" Dante continued to interrogate the woman as his grip slowly tightened around her petite neck.
"I-I will die before I tell y-you a-anything human!" She spat as she cracked a poison-filled vile in her mouth.
'Master, I have failed you, please forgive this unworthy subordinate!' The woman thought as the poison slowly made its way down her throat.
"Are you dumb?" Dante looked at her with a Stupefied look before putting two fingers in her mouth, streaming a minuscule amount of his divine flame out of his saliva-soaked fingers, guiding it into her body, as he forcibly rid her body of all impurities including the poison.
[ New skill unlocked ]
[ Divine cleanse| S | Active ]
[ Description: cleanse individuals of the dirt that is their life. ]
'Such an edgy description, the hell's wrong with you, system?' Dante questioned the system; his stern face from before was confused.
[ It is your skill host, not mine ]
'Haaa~, Forget it,' Dante resumed the interrogation as he pulled his fingers out of her mouth.
"Now...Will you comply?" Dante focused on the girl once again.
"N...Neber~!" attempting to form a sentence, the girl began to point at Dante.
'I should just read her mind,' Dante peered at the thoughts in her wandering.
'I'm *Burp!* neber gonna gib you anythin!' Her cat-like senses from earlier were completely lost as Dante loosened his grip on her neck, shortly before she passed out, falling out of the sky before Dante caught her limp body.
Her thoughts weren't giving Dante any hints about her motive.
'Let's at least see who you are,' Dante said as a blue screen appeared before him.

'God damn blood suckers huh?' Dante thought as the limp body of the girl floated in front of him.
'Arkan must be fairly fond of this assassin if he trusted her with such an important task,' Dante's vile smirk stretched beyond the bounds of his face as he delved deep into the mind of Tatiana.
...
"Tatiana you must save Revala has given the call that she failed her mission so I'm sending you to clean up and bring her back. kill whoever you must and bring her back, but make sure to gather as much information as possible before reporting back,' A figure standing at around 6'5 had his back turned toward the kneeling woman as he gave, his long ash-grey hair fluttered as he turned around to pick up his a glass of blood before slowly tipping the glass.
'As you wish master,' Tatiana replied as she stood up preparing to embark on the journey to save her mistress.
'Revala?' Dante searched her memories further for this person.
"Oh, kukuku!" Dante chuckled to himself, as he had found what he was looking for, which turned out to be much more intriguing than he originally thought.
...
'Let's take her back to the palace for now, I don't need any more rodents sneaking around my garden." Dante thought as the woman floated behind him as he teleported back to the castle, appearing in front of the royal chambers, along with a floating Tatiana.
'I guess a maid brought him to his room him to his room? Good,' Adonis was not on the bed where Dante had left him earlier.
"Oi, wake up!" Dante gently shook Rosalina.
"Hm, What do you want, you bastard?" Strand's of golden hair stuck to her plump lips as her groggy tone could be heard as she sat up.
"Who's this?" Dante inquired as he brought Tatiana's limp body in front of "Rosalina".
'Tatiana?!' Revala quickly got out of bed to check her friend's condition.
"Hold on. Tell me how do you know this person?" Dante pulled Tatiana back
"She's a friend. now move!" She attempted to shove past Dante.
"Tell me why she was coming toward the palace and who is Revala?" Dante's smug look stretched to the sky as his face loomed over her.
"T-That-," Rosalina tried to defend herself.
"That's you, right?" Dante pointed at the woman.
"W-Well what does it matter, huh!? Just please let me take her to a doctor!" Revala pleaded with Dante, as her patience was wearing thin.
"She's alright, I healed her earlier," Dante calmed the woman.
"Then why is she unconscious!?" Revala did not believe him.
"You really are a little slow, aren't you? She's just sleeping, idiot," Pity is all Dante felt at the moment.
"W-Well how was I supposed to know she was just sleeping?" Revala grumbled as she calmed down.
"Now, tell me how you expected her to get past the Valkyries, let alone me?" Dante took offense to the naivety of the woman.
"She's much stronger than you think," Revala defended her sleeping friend.
"She couldn't lay a finger on me though," Dante pointed towards himself with a smug look.
"That's because you're weird, you've fought all the Valkyries at once and won unscathed, how could she beat you?" Revala felt that she was being wronged in so many ways.
"Oh I know, I just wanted to hear you say it," Dante approached her, standing two 4 inches from her face.
"Now what type of punishment would you like, Miss Vamp?" Dante's question confused her to no end.
"What do you mean? I did nothing wrong here, it's your fault for storming into my and stealing my prey, you are a parasite who feeds off those weaker than yourself, you are much worse than those damned vampires back home, and yet you expect me to take your everything lying down, you are nothing in my eyes other than a bastard who can't seem to think before you say or do!" Revala's royal aura had erupted from her average frame as she stood in Dante's face, staring deep into his soulful eyes.
"Well I mean, technically you did take it laying," Dante's smiled ignoring all the disrespect that was thrown at him.
"You want me to do it again, be honest. You want me to fuck you, you want me to make you feel better than you ever have and ever will. I fucked you until you passed out then I continued to slam this dick in you. Do you really think a vampire can lecture me on morals, you came here under a fake alias, you fucked the king had a kid, and was waiting to gain more control of that poor bastard. You know why you had to wait so long to even fathom the thought of killing that idiot, hm? It's because you are weak, bastards who only linger in the shadows and pull strings are those who Don't have the strength to kill and take what they want with their own hands," Dante returned the lecture with an even stronger point, making the vampire princess think for a moment.
"Oh, I know what your punishment will be," Dante interrupted her racing thoughts.
"What is it, huh? Tell me. It couldn't be worse than anything you've done until this point!" Revala Didn't back down, she was done being afraid of this serpent-like bastard.
