Devil's Bible

Chapter 14 Threat, Secrecy

Saliva dripped from the whale's mouth, and its enormous eyes were fixed on the bellies of Nemus and the others, clearly craving their innards.

Its massive body charged forward, its enormous weight even causing the cave to tremble slightly.

The shadow hound suddenly pounced and bit the whaleman's neck.

Towns mustered his courage and charged straight at it.

At this moment, Kurog, who was sealed in his body, also began to exert his power to the fullest extent. Black demonic aura filled his entire body, pushing his stats to the limit. At the same time, the immortality trait was temporarily granted to Downs.

At the moment of impact, Towns staggered back a few steps.

In terms of pure physical strength, he was no match for the whaleman.

Clearly, although the opponent did not transform into a whale, it had reached the limit of the Black Stone species and thus acquired extraordinary characteristics ahead of time, such as its enormous size.

The whale-man's running steps were forced to stop by the impact. His fat, inflexible hands kept grabbing at his neck, trying to pull the shadow dog that was biting him off.

However, the Shadowhound's agility completely overwhelmed the Whaleman.

His body would occasionally turn into a shadow to evade the whaleman's grabbing hands.

Meanwhile, the four limbs leaped continuously on the whaleman's broad shoulders, while the forepaws and sharp mouths aimed at the whaleman's face, neck, and other areas.

Nemus's true demon form, being a variant demon, is considered a special type of demon.

The Little Devil is equivalent to an Ultimate Black Stone species that possesses extraordinary characteristics in advance.

Demons are equivalent to the Iron race.

Aberrant demons are a type of demon, but to a certain extent, they surpass normal demons and are slightly inferior to high-ranking demons equivalent to the Gold-rank demons.

The Shadowhound summoned by Nemus using his own power is a monster from the Abyss, distinct from demons.

These monsters cannot evolve by devouring souls and killing like demons, but they are able to survive in the abyss, which means they have their own abilities.

The agile body constantly harassed the whale-man, who dared not even open his eyes, lest sharp claws pierce and gouge out his eyeballs.

"Aaaaaah!" Faced with this situation, the whaleman had no choice but to open his mouth and roar.

The enormous roar was accompanied by the calls of whales.

The shadow hound's body rippled and trembled, the power of the sound waves making its body unstable.

While whale-men have lost some of their rationality, their animalistic fighting instincts have been enhanced.

It keenly grasped this point, its slightly open eyes aiming at the shadow hound's position, and it grabbed it with one hand.

At the same time, he swung out his other hand and collided with Towns, who was charging at him again.

But at that moment, a sharp arrow shot over and accurately hit the whaleman's slightly open eye.

Poole, who was hiding at the cave entrance, was an excellent archer.

The whale-man, in pain, turned his head and felt the shadow hound in his hand oozing out of his fingers like liquid.

Towns, who had been punched, acted as if nothing had happened and pounced again, grabbing the whaleman's fat thigh.

As demonic power surged, Downs struggled to move the whaleman's leg, causing him to lose his balance.

"You beast!!!" the village guard shouted hoarsely, instinctively wanting to turn around and help his daughter.

However, the numerous ropes spun rapidly and soon became entangled around the village guards.

His ability to move, his strength, and even his voice were instantly blocked.

"Save your energy, I'll need you to explain some things later." Seeing that the village guard was still struggling, Nemus tightened the ropes.

"Your lives, father and daughter, are now in my hands!" As soon as he finished speaking, a muffled thud came from the other side, and the whale-man finally fell down due to losing his balance.

The ropes of the oath wriggled and quickly bound the whaleman together. Only then did Nemus turn his gaze to the village guardian.

In comparison, the whale people are a treasure, and so are the village guardians.

After all, while whale disease is rare, it can still be found if you look for it.

This is the only known case of whale-like disease that can be controlled autonomously.

Nemus didn't care about the combat power provided by the whale-like disease, but its value lay not in combat power, but in the 'whale-like' transformation.

The White Whale Church is a cult.

They believed that the floating whale was a miracle of the world and had nothing to do with the gods, and they worshipped everything about the floating whale.

They are scattered throughout the major floating whale cities and have a deep understanding of whale-related diseases. Most of their members gain power and elevate their species by transplanting whale flesh, organs, and tissues.

Once they learn of the existence of controllable whale-like disease, they will be absolutely willing to pay any price for it.

If used properly, this church can become an asset.

and so……

“If you don’t want your daughter to be treated inhumanely, then cooperate obediently. Say whatever I tell you to say!” Nems’ tone was calm, but his words were firm and resolute, conveying his determination to the village guard.

Nems then gave the village guard some time to think before releasing the guard's silence control.

"Speak up, you have at least three things to say!"

"You beasts, you lackeys of the devil, I will kill you all... Ah!!!"

"Ahhhhh!!"

Nemus tilted his head slightly to one side, revealing more of the whale-man behind him.

The ropes twisted violently, causing the whaleman to let out painful howls, but he was then controlled by silence.

So soon, only the painful cries of the villager guarding his daughter echoed in the cave.

"Snap!" Nemus snapped his fingers, and the village guards, bound like hunched shrimps, became silent shouters.

He opened his mouth wide, his face flushed red, and saliva dripped down his throat as he shouted, but he couldn't make a sound.

“That’s not it!” Nemus said calmly, without any emotional fluctuation.

He simply continued, “I have the ability to control my pain perception. If you keep talking nonsense, I will make your daughter experience ten times more pain than she is now.”

The village guard stared intently at Nemus, his bloodshot eyes filled with hatred.

However, Nems seemed unconcerned, as if a gentle breeze had swept over him. He simply waited a few more minutes for the village guardians to regain their composure and reason.

Nems then released the silence control and waited once again for the village guardian's reply.

"I summoned the demon..." As reason returned, the village guardian, forced by reality, had no choice but to confess.

Once you open your mouth, everything will be easy.

Soon Nems learned everything he wanted from the village guards.

Information about controlled whale transformation, the secret of Op, and the village guardian's knowledge of the old priest.

The information regarding whale transformation involves too many complex factors, and further experiments are needed.

The village keeper didn't know much about the old pastor either, but he opened up a breakthrough for Op.

"You mean, he's mining whale skin?"
