Alice’s Kidnapping

When Dante released his suppressed umbra in front of the massive demon's illusion, the monster took a step back with a hint of fear.

"What's wrong? I thought I was weak…" Dante commented with a mocking tone.

"Why are you scared? Aren't you just an illusion anyway?" he continued, slowly walking towards the demon with his hands in his pockets.

As the warlock stood right before his tall and burly body, he looked up with a severe gaze and saw that there was no umbra flowing from the impaled Alice.

'She is also an illusion…' Dante thought.

"Where is the detective?" he asked, confusing June, who was frozen in place in the back next to the teenagers.

"Hahaha! My name is Nihilor, and I'm the strongest corruption fiend-!" *Boom!* The monster was swept away by Dante's destro spell, turning the illusion into dust.

"I didn't ask…" Dante muttered.

"Alice!" June exclaimed, rushing towards the area where the demon disintegrated.
