Chereads / Demon Hunter: In a Chat Group / Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: "The Encounter at the Summit"

Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: "The Encounter at the Summit"

Dante approaches the door when he hears something at the top of the statues: two floating heads with incorporeal bodies.

The turquoise head says, "Look, brother, it's been a long time, but we finally have company."

The orange head responds, "I see."

Then the turquoise head speaks again, "We must entertain our guest."

The orange head replies, "You're right, we need to be kind hosts."

Seeing that the heads keep talking among themselves, Dante begins to walk impatiently, waiting for them to finish.

The turquoise head asks, "Brother, what should we do?"

The orange head responds, "How am I supposed to know? We need to think of something."

Dante sighs as he watches the conversation continue and quickens his pace.

The turquoise head comments, "Brother, our guest is... sighing."

The orange head asks, "SIGHED? What is a... SIGH?"

The turquoise head answers, "Well, a sigh is when..."

Dante, tired of waiting, yells at the heads, "Enough! How long are you going to keep this up? If you didn't get the hint, I'll explain it to you."

Dante steps closer, and pointing at the heads, says reproachfully, "Your guest wants to pass. Got it?"

The room begins to tremble as the heads rise. First, the turquoise head speaks: "Our job here is to protect this door."

Then the orange head adds, "That's right! We can't let you pass."

The heads, with their incorporeal bodies, rise from the statues, each wielding a scimitar. They lower themselves, preparing to fight Dante.

The music starts to play ('Agni & Rudra').

[Guitar Hero: "More music again, I wonder how the chat group creates it."]

[Cat Guru: "It seems to have some lyrics related to what's happening, but this one doesn't."]

[Crimson Haired Princess: "It also seems to play when Dante fights stronger demons."]

[Guitar Hero: "It doesn't seem like it'll take long for him to defeat the talking heads."]

After the fight, two scimitars, one turquoise and the other orange, fall to the ground.

The turquoise one says, "Wait!"

Then the orange one speaks: "Yes, wait. We've been waiting for a long time."

The turquoise one says, "Yes, a long time."

The orange one continues: "Waiting for someone stronger than us."

The turquoise one says, "Someone who could control us."

The orange one says, "My name is Agni."

The turquoise one adds, "And my name is Rudra."

Together they say, "You will take us with you; we could be of great help to you!"

Dante thinks about it, places his hand on his chin, and says, "Alright, but with one condition."

Agni asks, "What is it?"

Rudra exclaims, "Say it."

Dante looks at them and points to each one while demanding what he wants: "That you shut up."

Agni responds, "Alright."

Rudra also replies, "As you wish."

Seeing they agree, Dante picks them up and begins to test them, making cuts with them very naturally, as if he were dancing with them. It shows how Agni has the power of fire and Rudra the power of wind.

After testing them for a while, Dante ends with a pose, and Rudra says, "Impressive."

Dante then hits the grips of the scimitars and looks at Agni and Rudra to say, "No talking."

When he sees they no longer speak, Dante gives a nod of approval and says, "That's better."

[Guitar Hero: "New stuff, although it seems they are still expensive."]

[Crimson Haired Princess: "Well, it seems that strong demons can turn into weapons."]

[Cat Guru: "Also, it seems that if the system considers them a set, taking one means you get both; at least that's something."]

After Dante passes through the door and continues moving forward, some time later, he picks up a new ranged weapon: 'Artemis'. As he approaches an abyss in the tower, he looks up and quickly catches a girl falling from the sky, realizing that she is the same one he encountered some time ago.

The girl, upon seeing that she has been saved, points her guns at Dante. He looks at her and says sarcastically, "Well, this is my kind of rain," then looks up at the clouds and adds, "No wonder the sky looks so strange today." The girl exclaims, "Let me go already!" Dante looks at her and, in a carefree tone, replies, "Let you go? But it would be a waste if you ended up being just a pretty stain."

The girl shoots Dante in the head, causing him to fall backward. He then stabilizes, approaches the edge of the abyss again, and complains, "What the hell was that? I'm here to help you, and you thank me by shooting me!"

The girl, who is hanging from the tower with her rocket launcher stuck, shoots at Dante again. Then, she settles on top of her rocket launcher and aims at him once more.

Dante looks at her, spits to the side, and says, "As you wish." Then he turns around, and as he begins to walk away, he comments indifferently, "Do whatever you want." As he moves away, he adds playfully, "I'm starting to think I have bad luck with women."

[Guitar Hero: "Looks like another new weapon was added."]

[Crimson Haired Princess: "True, and he also ran into that girl again."]

[Cat Guru: "It seems she doesn't like Dante."]

After Dante spends some time climbing the tower, he is now close to the top and begins to walk the final stretch. It shows how the rain begins to fall as the full moon shines in the sky.

When Dante reaches the top, he sees the back of a man with white hair slicked back, who is holding a katana with both hands for support. He slightly turns and says to Dante, "You've finally arrived."
