Chapter 160: Lilith... let me think

Dante trained with Velryna and Vex in the private battlefield, both women were truly energetic!

"Can you handle both of us?" taunted Vex, her captivating smile failing to disguise her determination. Dante didn't let his guard down, skillfully dodging a sneaky blow.

"You two are moving too slow," he commented as he slid along the walls towards Velryna, who wielded a sword, while he brandished a wooden spear.

The sound of the wind echoed as he silently approached behind Velryna, ready to take her down, but she wasn't about to surrender.

"Not today, honey!" She skillfully jumped, kicking the spear out of Dante's hands in a synchronized move.

"HA!" Velryna struck with a firm sword blow, but Dante intercepted with his own hands, counterattacking with agility.

"Come on, Princess of Cuteness!" He challenged her to a hand-to-hand combat, but Velryna wasn't naive.

'It's impossible to beat him alone. We need to work together,' she thought, exchanging a meaningful look with Vex, who sweated and panted beside her. Both understood that cooperation was essential.

They nodded silently, adopting combat stances. 'Finally acting like sisters. We need to understand that unity is our advantage, especially against someone stronger,' Dante reflected, watching them calmly. He not only trained them physically but also mentally and strategically.

Dante was determined to become stronger in all aspects, especially after past events. "We're almost there," he stated, advancing for the final showdown with the two women, who skillfully dodged, moving in sync.

"Honey!" Vex shouted, throwing her sword towards Dante, her speed drastically increasing as she appeared behind him, pinning his arms.

"Sorry, honey, this will hurt!" she warned, demonstrating her newly acquired telekinetic skills on the sword coming towards him.

"Who would've thought my perverted succubus would learn a trick like that," Dante joked, admiring his companion's cunning, but ahead his Blonde came charging to hit him hard, but...

"Bold as always, my wife," Dante said, and Velryna smiled as her sword grazed Dante's face.

"But not today." He said and raised his knee, kicking her stomach and tossing her away while releasing his arms.

Velryna coughed in pain as she tried to get up, but Dante had used magic on her, incapacitating her.

"I thought it was just sword techniques, little Vex," Dante said, laughing as he held Vex by the arm, who pouted.

"HUMPF! You're cheating! There's no way to beat you like this! Your body is naturally much stronger than ours! We're Ladies and you're an Ogre!" She shouted as she was held up like a punching bag by both hands.

With a sudden lunge, he summoned his mana into his hands, transforming them into claws to grasp Lilith's neck, but before he could reach her...

BONK!

A punch struck him squarely in the face, sending him back onto the throne, shattering it into pieces as Lilith stood up from his side and approached toward the man's broken body.

"Be thankful I'm in favor of you, but don't abuse it, boy," she said with an imposing attitude, leaving Dante startled, but he couldn't afford to waste time.

"Spit it out!" He shouted, his unwavering determination despite the injuries. Time was crucial, and he needed to resolve this as quickly as possible. His women were in danger, and he couldn't stay there debating with this foolish Empress.

"Oh, eager to hear, are you? Well, it's simple... you just need to come to hell when the time comes...," she said, prompting a raised eyebrow from Dante. "That's vague, say it clearly."

"A war is going to happen in a few years, and you will be by my side," Lilith said, catching Dante off guard.

"Against whom?" he questioned.

"Lucifer."

Dante absorbed Lilith's words, his heart beating faster at the revelation.

"Lucifer," he repeated, letting the name echo in his mind. The idea of facing the fallen angel himself filled him with a mixture of emotions.

"Why should I fight by your side?" Dante asked, his voice sounding firm despite the tension surrounding him.

"Because I want you here. Progenitor of Hell," she said firmly, looking into his eyes, and Dante looked away.

Dante pondered Lilith's words for a moment, his mind spinning with possibilities and consequences.

"I need time to think," he finally said, his voice sounding calmer than he actually felt.

"You will have your time, Dante. But remember, the clock is always ticking. I will give you this courtesy, and I will help you," Lilith said, her expression serene, but her eyes shining with an unfathomable intensity.

With that, she disappeared into a cloud of black smoke, leaving Dante alone in his destroyed throne room.

He returned to the palace.
