The Son Of Dante

This continued for a while before they stopped appearing. After clearing the puppets they continued through the hallway before arriving in front of a statue of a female in agony at the end of the hall with a sword in her chest and a door to their left.

"Is that a sword?" Naruto walk closer to statue to take a better look. Upon closer inspection he noticed some writings at the foot of the statue. "There are words written at the bottom of the statue"

"For real? What does it say?"

Upon Dante's prompting Naruto proceeded to read out loud for Dante to hear. "I am alastor. The weak shall give their heart and swear their eternal loyalty to me".

As soon as Naruto finished reading the words the statue suddenly disappeared leaving only the sword now stabbing into the wall behind. It crackled with lightning and flew out of the wall.

"Look out" Naruto move out of the way but Dante wasn't so lucky. The sword stabbed into his chest pinning him to the ground.

"Dante!" Naruto shouted in worry when he saw the sword impaling Dante.

Although he has seen Dante survive fatal wound that would have killed a normal human being. He couldn't say the same about the mysterious sword.

"I'm alright" Dante waved off Naruto's worry, then he looked down at the sword sticking out of his chest releasing lightning arcs that electrocuted him frequently. With a weak grown he grabbed the hilt of the sword and gently pulled alastor out of his chest before standing back up to his feet.

His body crackled with lightning as he raised the sword before a huge lightning bolt come crashing down shattering the stained glass above him.

"Hey watch it!" Naruto shouted as he hurried like moved to avoid the pieces of glass raining down from the roof.

Dante ignored his words as he made a few casual swing with Alastor before he turned to Naruto with a smile.

"So what do you think?"

"Only one word. Shocking" Naruto replied as he stared at the sword still crackling with arcs of lightning.

Dante nodded seaming to agree with Naruto's words. "It's not a bad sword"

After inspecting the sword for a few more seconds he placed it on his back. As if two magnet were suddenly placed together the sword sticked to Dante's back without falling off.

"Let's keep moving" Dante said before approaching the door to their left.

"I still can't believe Trish ditch us" Naruto whined as they walked through the door. That lady had come to them with a job and had volunteered to show them to the island. But almost as soon as they got here she disappeared

Dante rolled his eyes at Naruto and was quick to point out, "You were the one who insisted to come. it's not too late to go back"

"Never!" Naruto blurted out next to Dante causing him to wince from the loud voice.

"Then quite your whining!" Dante roared angrily. If it wasn't for his demonic heritage he was sure that his ears would have bled from Naruto's loud scream. How the hell did he scream that loud?!

It took all he had not to smack Naruto in the head.

"Fine" Naruto finally relented but his eyes were glued to alastor as he followed behind Dante.

'I wish I had a cool sword like that'

The room they entered this time was a library.

Naruto picked up a few books in the library to check out but quickly lost interest. The books were only about demon history which he wasn't too interested in right now.

They searched around for sometime finding a key and a shotgun which Dante handed to Naruto, his reason being that he already has two guns. Unless it can shoot something other than normal bullets then it was meaningless.

After handing Naruto the gun he took hs time to observe the other item in his hand, which is a key.

"This key should probably open one of the doors in the hall"

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get on to it"

Naruto prompted before they walked back out the library and return back to the hallway, they tried to open the door with the key one after the other before finding the right door.

They spent the rest of the day moving, fighting and searching around the castle. Sometimes discovering hidden locations.

After an arduous journey they finally arrived at a cathedral where there was a small object glowing blue light on an altar.

Naruto walk up the aisle to get a better look at the object in the light.

He reached out a hand to touch it "What the hell is that?"

"Naruto, wait!" Dante seeing this tried to stop him but it was too late. A beam of light shot out from object hitting the door opposite it and shattering the demon seal on the door.

Naruto scratched his head while laughing sheepishly. "Sorry. But at least the seal on the door is broken"

"You idiot. Do you even know what the beam of light even means? You've just triggered a trial mission" Dante scolded Naruto seriously. He felt annoyed by the kids waywardness. What was withbthe child like curiousity?

"What?" Naruto look lost for words when he heard this. Wasn't it just a glowing orb? How was he supposed to know that it was a trap? In his defense this ws his first time in a demon castle, there was no way he could know this things.

Dante was also aware of this hence why he didn't hold it against Naruto. But still this kid seriously needs to learn to keep his hands to himself.

"Let's just get this over with" Dante sighed. Hopefully the trial wouldn't be a difficult one.

The worst part about triggering a trial mission is that it had to be completed before you can be allowed to leave. And to say that the trial was difficult is an understatement.
