Devil's Bible

Chapter 16 Transformation

The village keeper carefully examined the contract, reading it word by word, and then flipped through various parts of the contract, searching for patterns on the paper.

He had heard that some demons would disguise their demonic language as patterns and write them on contracts to form supplementary clauses.

Many people sign contracts without understanding why, and thus are tricked by the devil.

The village keeper wanted to conduct further research, but simply didn't have the necessary resources.

Given the current situation, until he immediately identifies a clear problem, signing the contract is his only option.

As the village guardian drips his blood onto the contract's designated spot for the second party, the contract is officially established.

It was at this time that Nems received some feedback.

As Nemus used the Oath Rope to subdue the whale-woman Lya, he took her to the basement of his house and set up a protective barrier at the entrance to the basement using the Oath Rope.

Only when the contract is signed can the preliminary conditions be considered officially completed.

The precepts have been updated.

[Identity 1 Main Ring: Keeping the Oath]

[Discipline Feedback: New - (Alteration): The material of the artifact has altered, acquiring some characteristics of life.]

[Identity 2 Main Lawyer: Forgiveness]

[Discipline Feedback: New additions—(Village Guardian): Containment and Control—possesses extremely high adaptability to abnormal forces entering the body; (Whale Woman Leah): Picavener—can consume abnormal foods to acquire certain traits.]

Although the purpose of signing the contract was to better exploit the village guards, Nemus did indeed use this method to forgive the village guards and Lia.

“I see…” Nemus sensed the newly acquired information about the precepts, and thus gained a general understanding of the whole matter concerning the village guardians.

Feedback on discipline is not entirely arbitrary; it is all based on the individuals involved.

Based on the information provided by the village keeper, he was able to deduce the whole story.

The village guards took the opportunity to steal a piece of whale skin ore.

The villager took the ore back to his home.

Based on Leah's feedback about the pica, it's highly likely that Leah ate that piece of whale skin mineral, and it was because of this behavior that she contracted whale-like disease.

That's why, when Op held her accountable later, Lydia entered a state of suspended animation and didn't actually die.

“This ability is still somewhat useful…” Nemus stood at the basement door, stretched out his hand, and a faint black aura emanated from it.

This is the trace that Nemus left on his body when he used his true power.

Because of his ability to contain and control, Nemus was able to remove that wisp of energy relatively easily.

At this moment, the village keeper took one last look at the basement and then turned and left.

Downs was also asked by Nemes to go into hiding, which is why he used the power of the demon, and his body was covered with demonic marks.

If we run into the old pastor again, it won't be so easy to get away.

Of course, this is not absolute. Nemus does have a way to deal with the situation where the demonic aura is too obvious, but it will take some time to study.

After that, only Poole remained in Nemes's house.

"I beg you, my lord, to grant me power!" Poole knelt and looked up at Nemus, making his request.

In this ambush, Poole's two arrow attacks were perfectly timed.

But... it's too weak!

He had no chance to officially participate in the battle; he could only use archery to find weaknesses in the enemy and then cause some disruption.

It seemed like Leah had been blinded in one eye, but by the time Nemus took her to the basement, her eye had almost fully recovered.

While this is a unique recovery ability of patients with cetaceanosis, it also illustrates some issues.

Poole has no problem dealing with some wild beasts, but he can't really fight against the superhumans.

"Whether it's summoning a demon to possess me or some other method, I need to gain power."

"Only with power can I better assist you, sir!" Poole's eyes burned with fervor, a deep yearning for power.

“I had already made arrangements for this,” Nems said with a smile, satisfied with Poole’s attitude. “What do you think of the village guardians’ ability to autonomously transform into whales?”

He already had this idea when Nemus chased the village guards with his shadow hounds.

The controllable whale-like transformation of the village guardians was replicated in Poole.

After all, Poole himself was a prospective village guardian and had drunk water from the deep well, which already met some of the requirements.

Nemus once encountered a demon in the abyss.

Normally, the maximum value of a demon is 100. It may exceed this value by 10 to 20 points due to various circumstances, but that is still the limit.

Alien demons are special cases among demons. Although they are not as powerful as high-ranking demons, their stats can reach two to three times that of regular demons due to the inflation effect.

Nemus's demonic form has a value of 300.

In this situation, Nemus possesses overwhelming power among demons, and most demons cannot even withstand a single blow from Nemus.

However, that one demon was an exception; it was the whale-transformed demon.

The demon seized the whale's body in the material plane, thereby gaining many extraordinary properties.

Despite possessing those extraordinary abilities, Nemus expended considerable effort to defeat his opponent, and even managed to let the opponent escape.

That's why the other party left a deep impression on Nems.

The current village guardians and Lia seem to have gained the power of whale transformation, but in reality, they have not developed its full potential.

“This is exactly what I need!” Poole did not back down because of the danger of whale disease.

"Then take a rest first. I will modify you when the dawn breaks." Nemus already had some understanding of how the village guardians controlled their whale-like power.

It's time to put it into practice.

As for whether this would put Poole in danger, Nemes didn't care.

As the 'Abyss', what we need to do is to condone the evil of demons.

Let wandering souls rejected by reality find a place to belong.

Poole should rightfully dedicate everything he has to himself.

He wanted to be the savior of villains like Poole, not their nanny.

Time passed quickly, and it grew brighter and brighter outside the window.

Nems took Poole to the basement and took some of Lydia's blood.

Waiting for the right opportunity.

When a floating whale sees the sun, it lets out a long cry.

As this cry was made, Lydia couldn't help but join in.

The two whale calls are similar yet different.
