The voice carried a familiar lilt in it...different to Trish's casual tone. Narcisse... Vergil reined in his thoughts the second the name reverberated through his mind.
He ignored Xevnas's confusion, and looked at the hand resting on his own before meeting Trish's gaze evenly. Her blue eyes were replaced with geen eyes that sparked a cold fire back at him - familiar, devious eyes. Demonic possession.
Vergil made a slight nod with his head to acknowledge the foreign presence residing inside Trish's body.
"You're right," he said, slowly stepping away from her and shifting the Sceptre into his left hand.
The Greshall's Spine manifested in his right at his command, the same instant the two hooded figures moved toward him. It felt good to have a weapon of power in his hand, and he wielded the zweihander sword with the natural finesse of a well conditioned swordsman. It wasn't the katana he was accustomed to, but it served his intent nonetheless.
The rest of the covenant descended on him when he arched the sword through the air. The blade met brief resistance when it collided with flesh, again...and again... and again...
Vergil finished off the last attacking figures with a spin of his heel and a swing of the sword. He took a moment to catch his breath, and straightened into a relaxed stance. Simple and direct, the way Vergil prefered to address things.
His footsteps squished across the quickly spreading pools of thick blood on the floor. Vergil stepped across a few severed limbs, and paused to pluck Xevnas out of him. The Greshall's Spine vanished from his grasp the moment Xevnas was separate from him.
Vergil crouched to pick the briefcase up from the floor, and ignored the rich scarlet liquid dripping from the silver casing when he strolled toward the exit. He stopped beside Dante, and looked him in the eye.
There were no words. There was no need for them. Vergil pushed the briefcase, heavy with the rewarding funds for Dante's endeavours, into his brother's chest. He tightened his grip on the Sceptre as his resolve tightened within him. Then without a word - without another backward glance - Vergil walked out.
