Bury The Light In The Shadows II [The Eminence In Shadow X Devil May Cry]

The Resurrection

Yukime's nine tails flicked in unease, and she exchanged a glance with Juggernaut. "Who is he?" she muttered, her voice carrying a tinge of curiosity and apprehension.

Juggernaut, still recovering from their earlier battle, nodded slowly. "I don't know, but he appeared out of nowhere"

On the other side of the enigmatic trio, Shadow, concealed beneath his hood, watched the arrival of Nero Angelo with a faint, knowing smile. It was a reunion that had been long anticipated, and he recognized the enigmatic figure immediately.

Their history and their connection remained shrouded in secrets, and this unexpected encounter marked a new chapter in their intricate and mysterious relationship.

Beneath his hood, Shadow's voice held a note of curiosity as he asked Nero Angelo, "It's been a while, Nero Angelo. What brings you here? Do you seek to partake in this frenzy under the Red Blood Moon?"

Nero Angelo's response was measured and deliberate. He turned his gaze upward, directing his attention to the pinnacle of the Crimson Tower, and remained silent for a moment. His intent was clear: his goal lay within the tower, where the Blood Queen, Elizabeth, resided.

Without uttering a word, his actions spoke volumes. His presence here was not merely coincidental, and it was evident that he had a deeper purpose and agenda, one that was inexorably tied to the secrets and supernatural forces that lurked within the tower.

"Wait, that name..."

"Nero...Angelo..." Yukime and Juggernaut shared a moment of realization as Shadow mentioned Nero Angelo's name. The enigmatic figure known as Nero Angelo appeared to be as shrouded in mystery as Shadow himself, yet they had distinct and contrasting roles within this enigmatic world.

While Shadow had taken the path of leadership, guiding an organization like Shadow Garden, Nero Angelo appeared to be a lone wolf, a solitary force in this turbulent realm. Recent reports had linked him to the God of War Festival incident in the Midgar Empire, where he had teamed up with Shadow against formidable opponents like Iris Midgar and Beatrix. These rumors had given rise to speculations about their connection, despite the fact that they were not true comrades.

In this chaotic city, where supernatural forces, powerful individuals, and enigmatic organizations vied for dominance, the presence of both Nero Angelo and Shadow only added to the layers of intrigue and complexity that defined Lawless City's enigmatic tapestry.

The understanding that passed between Juggernaut and Nero Angelo was palpable. They shared a common goal, and the enigmatic figure's intentions were as clear to Juggernaut as they were to himself.

However, Juggernaut's fury flared as he perceived Nero Angelo as a potential interference in his hunt for the Queen of Blood. With a menacing brandish of his massive ax, the Tyrant positioned the weapon right above Nero Angelo's head, his tone filled with unbridled determination.

"Listen here" he growled, his voice a low, menacing rumble, "I don't give a damn about who you are or what you want. I'm here for the Blood Queen, and I won't let anyone stand in my way. Interfere, and you'll suffer consequences you can't fathom."

The tension in the air crackled as Juggernaut issued his challenge, the clash of powerful individuals within Lawless City's enigmatic realm threatening to ignite a new chapter of conflict.

Shadow, concealed within his hood, couldn't help but chuckle at the audacity of Juggernaut's challenge to Nero Angelo. He knew better than to underestimate the enigmatic figure.

With a cautionary tone, Shadow offered a piece of advice to the Tyrant. "I wouldn't do that if I were you," he warned, his voice carrying the weight of experience. "Fighting him without proper preparation would be akin to committing suicide. I've crossed paths with him before, and I can attest to the strength and dread he wields."
