**The Battle at the Qliphoth Tree**
Setting: The Qliphoth Tree looms over Red Grave City, its roots spreading like veins, feeding on the blood of the fallen. The sky is crimson, filled with dark clouds swirling above the monstrous structure. Demonic growls echo from within as Dante, Nero, and V prepare to face the horrors inside.
Nero: Cracks his knuckles, gripping the Red Queen tightly. "This damn tree has been sucking the city dry. Time to chop it down."
V: Steps forward, reading from his book in a calm voice. "A tree born of darkness shall wither in the light of battle." Shadow growls beside him, its form shifting like liquid.
Dante: Spins Ebony & Ivory in his hands, smirking. "Well, I hope this fight is worth my time. I didn’t put on my best coat for nothing."
A monstrous roar erupts ahead. From the darkness, a towering demon emerges—roots wrapped around its decayed body, eyes glowing with hunger.
Nero: Revvs Red Queen, flames sparking from the blade. "Oh, you’re ugly as hell. Let’s fix that."
Dante: Grins, drawing his Devil Sword. "Who’s first? Me, you, or our poetic friend over there?"
V: Closes his book and smirks slightly. "Nightmare will answer that question."
With a thundering crash, Nightmare crashes down from above, obliterating the ground beneath the demon. Shadow and Griffon attack in sync, while Nero dashes forward, slashing through the demon’s vines. Dante leaps into the air, switching between Cavaliere and Balrog in mid-combat, tearing through waves of smaller creatures.
Demon: Writhes in agony, screeching. "You cannot stop the Qliphoth! Its roots run deep!"
Dante: Stabs his sword into the ground, leaning on it casually. "Yeah? Well, I’ve got a chainsaw motorcycle that says otherwise."
Nero: Panting, looking at the destruction. "That all you got?"
Dante: Sighs, cracking his neck. "Well, let’s go deeper, boys. We still have a tree to burn."
