Devil's Bible

Chapter 12 Whale Disease

After the village guard fell, he grabbed a tree branch and swung himself to the other side.

But the next moment, he felt an unprecedented crisis. Something deadly was rapidly approaching, so much so that the hair on his body stood on end.

He turned his head slightly, glancing at the source of the danger, and saw an ordinary knight's sword slashing diagonally at great speed.

Faced with a life-or-death crisis, the village guards dropped their bows and arrows and drew their short swords from their waists to block the attack.

Swords clashed, sparks flew.

The village guard was sent flying backwards and tumbled, leaving a trail on the ground before crashing into a tree.

"The value is probably between six and seven." Nemus slightly sheathed his sword, controlling his power, and then slowly approached.

Even if Nemus had stopped exerting his power, the village guards simply couldn't withstand the power that surpassed the extreme value of the Black Stone species.

He only felt his arm completely twisted and fractured, the broken blade embedded in his arm, and his whole body aching.

The metallic smell of blood between his nose and mouth reminded him that he had suffered severe internal injuries.

He watched as Nemus approached, letting out a beast-like roar, and then black spots appeared on his body.

The black spots covered the wound, and the broken blade in the villager's arm was squeezed out. He then straightened his twisted limbs and his injuries healed quickly.

“Whale transformation?!” Nemus was taken aback, then revealed an interesting smile.

The floating whale is a product of a special era, originating from the gods.

However, the floating whale is not a carefree paradise. Special beasts such as nest beasts are its specialty.

In addition, some people who live on a floating whale for a long time may develop some diseases related to the floating whale.

Whaleification is one of the most famous examples.

People suffering from this disease will first develop black spots on their bodies, and then gradually lose their human reason, thus turning into beasts.

During this process, patients with whale-like transformation gain immense power and begin to devour human internal organs.

The most critical issue is that this disease is contagious.

In the later stages, patients with whale-like behavior will grow whale-like vocal organs, enabling them to produce whale-like sounds. These sounds will alter life forms, thereby spreading the whale-like disease.

Therefore, once a patient is discovered, most people will choose to kill them in the early stages.

However, the problem now is that the village guardians are generally immune to cetacean disease!

The one who tied the knot must untie it; whale-like disease is not entirely without a cure, such as the deep well water needed to become a village guardian.

The village's wells are generally not very deep, but the deep wells penetrate the ground and come into contact with the flesh and blood of the floating whales.

Such deep well water can help people develop resistance to whale-like diseases.

However, deep well water is a controlled resource and is only used when creating village guardians.

It will also be accompanied by some side effects.

Therefore, whale-like disease is considered an 'incurable disease'.

The interesting thing now is that a person with resistance to cetacean disease has actively entered a state similar to cetacean disease infection.

"If the White Whale Church finds out, they'll probably go crazy!"

"I just don't know what the price will be?" Nemus asked.

The village guard did not answer Nems' question, but instead charged straight at him.

After entering the whale-like state with black spots all over their bodies, the village guardians' strength was greatly enhanced.

This is not surprising.

Patients with whale-like disease who have evolved to the extreme may even increase their own number and transform into whales, becoming a steel species.

“However, it’s still not enough…” Nemus raised his sword diagonally and slashed directly at the charging village guard. However, the sensation was completely wrong.

It was like a sword being slashed at a rubber tire.

It has a buffering ability, which absorbs and cushions the power of Nemus's sword strike.

The village guard was then sent flying.

This was the escape route taken by the village guards.

He was prepared, curling up to accelerate his backward flight, and darted to the side the instant he landed.

At the same time, his originally normal hands now grew sharp claws, and as he lunged forward, his hands slashed down, causing several large trees to fall and block his path.

The village keeper is far more familiar with the terrain here.

Taking advantage of his first move, he quickly escaped Nems's sight.

Nems didn't rush to chase after them, but stood on the fallen tree, watching the bright moon gradually rise higher.

Towns and Poole came up behind him.

The moonlight, now free from the obstruction of trees, fell upon the three, casting several shadows.

"Lord Nair, aren't we going to chase after them?" Downs asked, somewhat embarrassed.

This time, apart from being shot by an arrow, he accomplished nothing in the encirclement. This sense of powerlessness made him, who had gained power and felt superior to others, feel angry.

"When a wild animal is injured, it will choose to return to a place it considers safe to lick its wounds."

“His value is different now; we need him to lead us to where the treasure is buried!” Nemes glanced at Downs but didn’t say anything more about his somewhat exasperated appearance.

Nemus's expression changed slightly, and his shadow began to writhe. Beneath his human body, something seemed to be stirring restlessly.

A demonic aura emanated from Nemus, and Downs felt as if he had fallen into some kind of hellish illusion.

The hierarchy among demons made Downs tremble.

On the other side, Poole also trembled, but this time he was trembling with excitement. This aura, this feeling—this was his abyss!

Nemus raised his hand, chanting demonic language with practiced ease. A shadow rose from the ground and then transformed into a canine demon.

Demonic Spell - Summon Shadowhound!

Under normal circumstances, Nemus is unwilling to use the power of his own body.

The power of the demon has a corrosive effect, which will leave an uncertain mark on this 'pure' body. This will easily expose a flaw when facing a master of the church.

However, now, Nemes believes that the village guardian is worth making an exception for him!
The black shadow hound swiftly picked up the broken blade and ran through the forest, searching for the village guardian's location.

Nems, along with two subordinates, pursued at a leisurely pace.

As expected, the village guardian was not completely brainwashed by the whale disease; after running far away, he began to circle around.

He didn't stop this behavior until late at night and headed towards a certain area.

Little did he know that, in the shadows, a shadow hound was following him from afar.

This time, his premonition was disrupted by his chaotic thoughts.

They were unaware of the impending danger.

Inside a cave, shortly after the villager entered, Nemus arrived, following the shadow hound's trail.

However, Nems then frowned, and a sound that was difficult for ordinary people to hear came from the cave.
