Dante slammed the ground hard after flying a few seconds in the air. Upon raising his head up he realized he had been tossed several meters away giving a distance between him and the lady who was currently in possession of his gauntlet. This only showed him how valuable combat experience was in this new world. Enduring the pain rushing round his body, Dante stood up to his feet giving a cautious look to his opponent. Dante didn't need to be a genius to know that if he continued on with this fight he would most likely end up dead. There were just too many things that were stacked up against him at the moment.
First was the fact that he had just lost his ace to a lady who wanted to kill him. The moment she knew what it was capable of, it would most likely cause issues for him. The Density gauntlet never did give him any form of strength but only gave superior attacking power hence it was understandable why she was able to overpower him and take it off. Secondly was his lack of points at the moment. If he had Nano Lites in his body he would most likely create something else to help him against this enemy or even disintegrate her if she turned out to be too much of a threat. Lastly, he could not even fight against her if he wanted to. She was just way to skilled for him to handle not to mention that he didn't feel okay killing a human being.
At the moment Dante only saw the threat that people with Nano Lites brought to him and he didn't like it one bit. The question now was how was he going to combat his current situation?
"Nice gauntlet, though you can't use it to defend yourself now", his attacker said before dashing out at high speed.
Dante tried his best to evade her attacks, however he couldn't do this due to his inability to predict her moves. She hit him in various parts of his body weakening him until he fell to his knees. Refusing to give up Dante managed to dodge her next attack before landing a blow to her face with his right hand.
The lady looked at him with a hint of confusion before kicking him on the face. Compared to the punch he had given her when the fight started, it seemed like this punch was a whole lot weaker. She was more confused by this since he did in fact attempt to give her a serious punch.
"What was that? Don't tell me you are holding out on me?"
Dante on hearing this spit out a little amount of blood before staring at the gauntlet in her hand with a hint of desperation. On noticing this, the strange lady gave him a look that made him slightly worried.
"Don't tell me that insane power had something to do with this?", She asked before wearing it on her hand. "Guess there is only one way to find out."
Dante opened his eyes terrified, he immediately attempted to move out of her reach but failed. He could feel the gauntlet connecting to his face, ultimately throwing him a few meters away causing him to pass out. The lady was shoked by this since she had held back her punch. Moving up to Dante she touched his neck in search of a pulse. When she found one she smiled on realizing that he had only past out.
"Hmm, so you are human after all. Now the question is where did you get such a powerful weapon from?"
Knowing that there was no way she was getting answers from him in this state she grabbed his shirt and began dragging him on the ground.
Serena had been running around the place trying to find out were Dante had run off to, however she had no success. When she felt like she was too late, she heard a loud noise coming from the east of her current location. Hopping to the top of a tree nearby she had witnessed a large tree collapsing in the distance. Believing whatever did this was the same creature that killed the worm, Serena jumped off the tree and began to run towards that direction. Serena couldn't help but wonder how she would take something with such power down.
On getting to the location, Serena couldn't help but widen her eyes on seeing such destruction. She believed that whatever broke this tree did not just break it in half but actually broke it into many pieces with a single punch. Looking around Serena found multiple things around. She had seen signs of a fight which had taken place in the environment. A blade which was broken in half caught her attention causing her to have bad feelings about moving any further, however that all changed when she saw a piece of cloth from Dante's shirt laying on the ground. On seeing this she instantly knew that Dante had been taken away by someone in the area but she couldn't quite understand how they had caused so much destruction in the first place. As Serena moved around the environment more she identified some foot prints leading to somewhere she knew all to well, a place that she promised to never go back to.
"Don't worry Dante, I am coming", Serena said before dashing off in that direction.
Dante could hear the sounds of fire crackling nearby causing him to regain his consciousness. He could feel pain rushing through his whole body especially his head. Looking around he noticed he was trapped in some kind of cage. Dante tried to break free from it only to fail as it was too strong. At the moment he could not help but wonder where this cage had come from.
"Damn it don't tell me I was knocked out", Dante said rubbing his head.
"You should be glad that's all I did."
The voice Dante heard was one he decided he didn't like already. It was the lady whom attacked him sometime ago. She had some kind of smug look which made Dante really annoyed.
"What do you want!? Let me go already!", Dante said clearly displaying his annoyance.
"I am afraid that isn't possible. At first I thought you weren't human but now I know you killed that worm using this gauntlet. So, where did you get it from?", The strange lady asked him in a serious tone.
"And why would I tell you that?", Dante answered with a question of his own.
"Well because if you don't I will get rid of you", she said with a menacing smile. It was clear to Dante that he was in trouble.
