Devil's Bible

Chapter 50: Taking Action (Please continue reading)

Numerous black lines burst forth from Op's body, forming a black clump of threads that met the monster's charge.

The black lines writhed and, at the moment of impact, rapidly launched their tips, attempting to pierce Poole's body.

However, beneath the phloem, the strength of these black lines is still too weak.

However, these black lines quickly and cleverly began to drill into the orifices on Poole's body.

They wanted to penetrate his body through these places.

Poole, however, showed no alarm.

He calmly mobilized the power within his body—the water of the deep well.

This thing is the power of the village guardian system, but now Nemus has developed the power of whale transformation.

Before it turned into a whale, this thing had been providing the village guardians with strength and various resistances.

The villagers face various dangerous creatures on a daily basis, with nest beasts being one of the most frequent encounters.

Before he even became a formal village guardian, Poole dared to wear leather gloves and torture the hive beasts.

Now that the deep well water within his body has been fully developed, his body is now like that deep well.

A floating yet chilling aura emanated from within his body.

The Black Line, which was about to burrow in, seemed to have encountered a natural enemy and immediately turned around and retreated.

This is the most important power of deep well water – resistance.

Previously, whether it was cetacean disease or dangerous creatures like nest beasts, their direct attack power was not strong; what was strong was their troublesome ability to infect.

Whale-like diseases can infect others through whale calls, and nest beasts can use black fur as embryos to parasitize others.

That's where the danger lies.

The fact that deep well water can withstand these dangers and then provide a not-so-weak stat is enough to explain why the village-guarding system is prevalent in various places.

However, Op's goal was not to solve the problem by parasitizing Pull with the Nest Beast. He lacked strategic thinking in battle, but he was still relatively clear-headed.

Naturally, the fact that Poole was a reserve village guard could not be ignored.

He summoned the nest beast for another purpose—

Some dark figures climbed up from the ground and rushed straight towards Poole.

After the battle began, Opp kept retreating to adjust his position.

At this moment, he was already standing in the middle of a crowd of people.

Previously, his subordinates had shot and killed many villagers with arrows. These villagers, who had come out to search with the village guards, became tools controlled by the nest beast after their deaths.

The nest beast's threads penetrate deep into the muscles of these corpses, controlling their movements through stimulation and pulling.

Furthermore, these Necromancer Black Lines, after being cultivated by Op, can enhance, heal, control the brain, and bestow a unique set of perceptions upon the host after parasitizing a human.

Poole swung his fist at the parasites, but apart from a few that were too slow to be hit, most of the parasites were able to dodge in advance and avoid Poole's fist.

Poole blinked his whale-like eyes and quickly locked onto the tiny black hairs on the surface of these parasites.

These fine hairs are extremely sensitive to airflow and the scents emitted by other organisms, enabling them to quickly detect approaching danger and then prompt the parasite to take action.

"I see. Perhaps that's why Towns hasn't been able to secure the win yet?" Poole guessed.

that's the truth.

Towns is facing four enemies, all of whom are agile.

Not to mention the two halflings, the same was true for the two desperate men from before.

As Towns punched another man in the chest, the Nest Beast activated and repaired him. Their senses became exceptionally sharp, and the four of them worked together to make almost all of Towns' attacks miss.

In comparison, Downs lacked the ruthlessness of the village guards and the talent of Poole. All he possessed was the power brought by the demons and—a strong desire for revenge.

Although Towns wasn't actually injured by the repeated attacks, the pain he felt was real.

He simply gritted his teeth and endured it.

At that moment, he felt extremely uncomfortable all over, and he even had the thought of running away immediately more than once.

However, those thoughts were quickly dismissed.

On the one hand, it's because deep in Towns' heart, the figure of Nemes exists; he feels fear, admiration, and respect for Nemes.

As long as Nemus exists, he would not dare to disobey Nemus's orders.

On the other hand, it was for revenge.

"Aaaaaah, is it done yet, Kurog!" Downs cried out in his mind as he asked Kurog.

"Just bear with it a little longer. The pain is being transmitted remotely, and the reduction in pain is too great."

"We still need to accumulate some..."

“And I can already sense that the master is approaching. You don’t want to lose face in front of him, do you?” Kurog said afterward.

These words made Towns shudder; the fear in his heart overwhelmed his fear of physical pain.

Towns immediately gritted his teeth and endured it, while glancing around at the four people. In his mind, he imagined how he would turn the tide and crush them all.

After being attacked a few more times.

Kulog's "Okay" became the key to unleashing Towns' flood of desires.

The next moment, Towns' eyes turned red, and without any hesitation, he rushed toward the person whose neck he had previously crushed.

The man immediately sensed the attack and quickly retreated to avoid it. At the same time, the other three men, positioned in different directions, launched a coordinated attack to interrupt Downs' pursuit.

However, at that moment, a black aura suddenly spread from Towns' body to the surroundings.

A halfling who got too close immediately felt an unbearable pain, and its originally agile movements went out of control.

Towns grinned maliciously, turned around, and kicked the halfling straight at the head.

Upon seeing this, the other half-man immediately pounced on him and grabbed Towns's leg from the side.

It acted as a human buffer, preventing the kick from directly smashing the head of the halfling when it landed on him.

Instead, two half-human figures were sent flying at the same time.

Victory is decided!

Just then, a tall, slender paladin with a sword at his waist and a smile on his face walked towards them.

An aura of oppression, stronger than four meters high, emanated from him, drawing everyone's attention.

Poole ignored the ongoing battle and knelt down, his head, which had never bowed, filled with unwavering loyalty to Nemes.

Towns, who had just secured the victory, was a step too slow, but he immediately abandoned any further offensive plans, kneeling down and bowing his head, not daring to make any rash moves.

The only one still moving in the arena was Aro.

He didn't know why the village guards had stopped; he only knew that he was determined to take them down.

The blade danced in his hand, and he concentrated all his strength into the tip of the blade. With the village guards still, he had already aimed at their vital points and was sure to capture them with a single blow.

But in the next moment, a sword pierced through from a tricky angle.

As the sword and blade collided, a clever force caused Aro's hand to go numb, and the knife flew out of his hand.

　Guaah!!
