Devil's Bible

Chapter 49 Bone Fins
The terrifying force of the punch struck, causing the two swordsmen to react instantly and change their footwork, but they were already a little slow.

The punch left a trail of afterimages; the enormous fist resembled a wild boar charging wildly.

If hit, the body would probably be torn to pieces.

Fortunately, in the next instant, a phantom figure appeared and embraced him.

Summoning spell: Green Elf's Embrace.

Summon the power of spirits from the plants and trees to embrace the target and provide protection and healing.

Opus then cast a second spell, which saved the two swordsmen.

The green elf's phantom shattered instantly, and the two swordsmen were sent flying backward, but their bodies were not seriously injured.

Poole retracted his fist, his eyes, which also resembled those of a whale, fixed on Oppein.

“What price did Nair pay you? I’ll give you double.” Opp involuntarily stepped back, his slightly fat hand gripping the handkerchief tightly, and hurriedly said.

Upon seeing Downs, Op knew that behind Poole and the village guardians might be that muddle-headed paladin.

Of course, in retrospect, perhaps it is he who is truly confused.

“You can’t afford it.” A hint of murderous intent flashed in Poole’s eyes as he walked toward Op.

Opp keenly sensed the killing intent and immediately realized that this was the most difficult enemy to deal with.

Throughout his years in business, he has encountered many things, including numerous instances of double-crossing.

However, most of these enemies are after money and resources.

So often, things don't actually reach the point where it's a matter of life and death.

However, Poole was different; he had faith.

Just like Aro, who possessed convictions, he was often unable to communicate because of his convictions.

Poole was the same; he also had convictions, perhaps even more so than Arrow—it was faith.

“I’m useful!” Op immediately said, “I know a lot of information about Nair.”

"Once I die, those intelligence reports will be lost."

After confirming that his opponent was not so easy to stop, Op immediately switched to psychological warfare, hoping to make Poole hold back in the following battle and maintain his own safety.

At the same time, Opp also felt some regret.

He was ultimately not good at fighting, and he also had some problems with strategic planning.

He made many mistakes from the very beginning of this battle.

For example, he had a ring that solidified the force field spell 'Avoidance of Arrows', so he didn't need to immediately summon the Feather Serpent back.

Instead, they should have him help Aro quickly deal with the village guards, and then concentrate their own forces.

At the same time, from that point onward, I should have directly used high-power spell scrolls instead of saving them at this time.

As a result, because the Feather Serpent entangled Pull and the two swordsmen were also next to the enemy, his own scroll was not so useful and he was afraid of accidentally injuring his allies.

There are many more details like these in other places.

As long as I don't make those mistakes, the battle will be much easier now.

“But it’s not too late now.” As he backed away, he continued to draw Poole’s attention with his words, while gently lowering his hand so that his sleeve covered it.

“Nair’s family has actually been secretly collecting intelligence information about him.”

"And he even contacted me, hoping that I could add something to his food while taking some of his blood and hair."

“In addition, there is another very important piece of information, which is absolutely crucial for Niall.” Op said with conviction, and his tone didn’t seem feigned.

It did indeed attract some of Poole's attention.

“That is…” Op’s tone changed, and a scroll in his hand was unfurled and displayed in front of him. Accompanying his words were flashes of dazzling white lightning.

Shaping spell - Lightning Strike!

This is one of the trump cards that Opp acquired from others in exchange for five whale skin ore scrolls.

Op turned his head and closed his eyes to keep the lightning from blinding him.

At the same time, continue retreating at a steady pace while preparing to cast a spell.

The Summoning system is also divided into many factions.

Ops favors Void Summoning and specific summons.

Void summoning is the release of spiritual energy, which pulsates and spreads at a specific frequency, penetrating deep into the darkness to sense and summon one's own 'summoned creature'.

This requires constantly coordinating one's own mental frequency to resonate with the summoned creature, and also requires paying a portion of one's mental energy as a toll to some unseen being before finally summoning it.

For example, the Feather Serpent is summoned in this way.

The specific summon is the previous Green Elf Embrace.

It limited the power of the green elves residing in the surrounding vegetation.

The summoning spell that Op is preparing now is also a specific summoning.

This time, the target was something on his body, and also the other creature most closely connected to him—the Nest Beast.

This thing came from the old pastor, but it has changed drastically due to different training methods.

The old priest enhanced his control over blood and his own power.

Op, on the other hand, amplifies its parasitic nature.

However, each time it is used, its ferocity increases, so Op doesn't like to use this guy.

But at this point, it seems we can't do without it either.

Just now, he sensed that a dormant nest beast had been activated once again.

This indicates that another of his subordinates was also critically injured and on the verge of death, forcing him to activate the symbiotic healing of the nest beast.

That Towns was stronger and more troublesome than he had imagined.

However, the next moment, Opp had to be thankful that he had made the right choice.

Because of the lightning, a huge figure emerged from a cloud of smoke created by the electric shock, tearing through the smoke with a wave of its arm.

Poole's body was charred black, but his already large height had increased even more, reaching about four meters.

“It’s very strong, but the power that Master bestowed upon me is not just whale transformation!!” Poole’s still trembling body quickly stabilized.

The pain was quickly transformed into power, filling the body.

The characteristic known as the essence of pain made pain a driving force for his further growth.

Poole's back throbbed, and then some bone spurs pierced through his skin and emerged, forming a dorsal fin similar to that of a whale, but with sharper protrusions.

His whale transformation, fueled by absolute faith in Nemus, marked another evolution!
They successfully acquired two additional characteristics derived from whale transformation—

Self-healing: The self-healing ability is further enhanced and solidified, and most bodily injuries can be repaired quickly.

Bone fins: Bone fins grow from the back of the fish, giving it the ability to slightly adjust its own weight, currently within ±10%.

"The power bestowed upon me by the master will allow me to grow stronger through suffering, and then sweep away all obstacles in my way!" After these words, his enormous body rapidly approached!

　what! ! !
