Chapter 40 A Thousand Moons Annihilate the Flying Birds, Turning to the Netherworld Sword

“That’s…a church?” Nems was slightly taken aback, then realized the direction from which the sound came.

Then Nems looked up and glanced at the other people around him.

The village keeper, Poole, and Downs exchanged glances to signal them to get ready, and Nemes rushed toward the church.

The villagers who had come to search with them were also stunned at this moment. Should they follow the commotion?
Nems was incredibly fast; despite it being a mountain road in the wilderness, he quickly traversed it, and the church soon came into view.

The situation at the church surprised Nemus slightly; things were somewhat beyond his expectations.

Although he had sent Isabella out to test the waters, he hadn't expected to find out about this thing.

The church had already collapsed most of the way, and a humanoid creature called "Big Black," covered in black fur, was lying on all fours on the side, its scarlet eyes fixed on Isabella on the other side.

This large black creature is about five meters tall, and its black fur bears a strong resemblance to that of a nest beast.

However, its black fur is much longer, and this fluffy fur makes it appear even larger.

"Sure enough, everything was going on under the old pastor's influence." Nemus thought for a moment and then understood.

When Op came to give Naim the house and let him move out, it was most likely the old pastor who pushed for it.

The church had actually been converted by the old pastor, and there was an experimental base of the old pastor in the church's base.

Otherwise, the elderly pastor, who was unable to move around easily, would have nowhere else to hide if he stayed in the church all day.

That's why the old pastor tried to get Nair to move out.

They also generously ignored Naim's rule-breaking behavior.

Isabella had clearly thought of this as well, and she had an additional piece of information than Nemes: the old priest was still conducting bloodline experiments. So, after confirming that the old priest was problematic, she went to the church to investigate.

Just now was a good opportunity. When she returned, she intended to go to Nemes first, but she learned from the villagers that the old pastor had left the church, which was unusual for him.

She had lived there for about ten days and had a general understanding of the old pastor's daily routine. Knowing that such a situation was rare, she immediately went into the church to search for him.

They quickly found the entrance to the basement in the confessional, and upon opening the entrance, they discovered the large black creature.

Upon smelling the scent of a stranger, the giant black beast went berserk, and the restraints on its body were instantly torn off.

If Isabella hadn't run fast, she probably would have been caught by the big black creature and swallowed whole.

Isabella then used her faith in the church to cast a divine spell, but she still couldn't subdue the giant black creature.

Despite possessing a strong aura of evil, he has a high resistance to divine magic.

Isabella had to use all sorts of divine magic on herself to enhance her mobility and defense in order to dodge until now.

“Huge size, divine resistance, this thing is not a Blackstone species, but a malnourished Steel species!” Nemus revealed the true nature of the Great Black in one breath.

As he lifted the sacred sword and gripped it tightly with both hands, the sacred characters lit up one by one. Nemus felt a surge of power coursing through his body, which invigorated his spirit.

This is the sword's 'motivational' effect, which can boost morale and thereby unleash a person's physical potential.

Without any fear, Nemus charged toward the monster.

The danger it posed forced Big Black to temporarily set aside his 'desire' for Isabella. Although he was enormous, he was not slow in his movements.

With a jerk of its body, it leaped into the air, its arms raised, and sharp claws, hidden in its black fur, popped out.

The claw light shone the next moment.

Several enormous beams of black light, as if about to tear the earth apart, pressed down on Nemus from above.

He raised his sword and slashed upwards, the blade clashing with his claws, sparks flying. Nemus's raised arm involuntarily bent downwards.

Using this pressure, Nemus retreated, turned and swung his sword, which collided with Big Black's other claw that was swinging out.

His feet dragged on the ground, and Nemes slid back a few meters before regaining his balance.

"This thing's stats are around eighteen," Nemus concluded, and as predicted, it was an underdeveloped Steel-type.

"Support me!" Nemus shouted, then charged towards Big Black.

The blade sliced ​​across the ground, then slashed upwards at an angle!
Faced with the attack, Big Black simply raised his arm, and the numerous black hairs on his arm wriggled and wove together, wrapping around Nemus's blade layer by layer.

The intention was to limit Nemus's weapons.

The black fur wriggled before Nems' eyes, finally revealing its true nature—blood vessels.

He turned and spun around, the blade slicing through the black fur, and white light fell upon Nemus.

The divine spell, Protection, has already been cast.

This slowed down the black giant's waving claws, allowing Nemus's spinning slash to catch up in time, collide with the claws, and successfully stop it.

"Sure enough, one of the old pastor's research findings was the Nest Beast." The Nest Beast's black fur was its embryo.

To provide these embryos with nutrients, the black fur is directly connected to the blood vessels of the nest beast.

The large black creature before us had its black fur completely de-embryonic and integrated with its blood vessels.

"The Nest Beast disaster eight years ago was not entirely an accident."

"It was because the old pastor's research on the Nest Beasts reached its final stage and encountered a problem, which led to the leak of the Nest Beasts."

“Op was also parasitized by the hive beast during that time, and he was probably bribed by the old priest around that time.”

"So, what is the purpose of this big black beast in front of us?" Nemus retreated, dodging another attack from the nest beast, then slightly raised his hand, rubbed his palm together, and the longsword in his hand began to spin.

Secret Sword: Whirlwind Swallow!
It was clearly a long and wide knight's sword, but at this moment, as the sword spun, it transformed into a white line.

Then the white line shot out and collided with the claws that attacked again.

Black fur flew everywhere, a hand flew up, and the big black claw was severed.

Isabella, standing behind Nemus, watched all this in disbelief, muttering, "The Thousand Moons Annihilate the Flying Birds and Turn to the Netherworld Sword?"

Isabella had a very deep impression of this strangely named secret sword technique, so when Nemus performed one of its moves, she recognized it immediately.

She never expected that Nemes would possess such swordsmanship, which had made him famous just a few years ago.

This sword technique was developed by a genius paladin and can achieve 200% of its numerical effect.

Although the swordsmanship has been passed down, very few people have been able to successfully master it.

It is said that one needs a level of spiritual control comparable to that of a practitioner of meditation to successfully master this swordsmanship.

That genius was also believed that if he were to undergo priestly training, he could also reach a very high level.

Isabella had only ever seen one exercise-loving priest use this technique.

Unexpectedly, I saw it here again today.
