Devil's Bible

Chapter 6 Hymns
Towns' body has undergone a fundamental change due to Kellogg's influence.

Numerically speaking, he has progressed from the original value one to the value three.

This was still because the demon's power was not manifest. The originally heavy demon corpse was now as thin as withered grass, and he lifted it up with a casual wave of his hand.

This lack of adaptation to the force almost caused Towns, who was in a half-squatting position, to fall backward due to instability.

At this moment, Towns finally realized the true nature of power.

Nemes walked ahead, while Downs followed behind carrying the demon.

As the crowd that had been gathering in the distance grew larger, their gazes fell on the demon, and on him.

Towns felt his whole body burning up, and his blood was flowing much faster because of his rapidly beating heart.

This feeling of being watched was something he had never experienced before.

He even had an urge to 'get lost' and wander around the dorsal fin village a few more times.

However, after seeing Nems ahead, his little scheme quickly vanished.

Everything he had depended on Nems, and he dared not be reckless at this moment.

Even without turning around, Nems knew about Towns's psychological changes.

He had just transmigrated and achieved some small successes, and he became arrogant and complacent.

Reality teaches him a lesson, and those emotions are long gone from him.

The village wasn't very big, and we soon arrived at the village chief's house.

Because of the commotion caused along the way, Aupu, who was resting at home, also learned the truth of the matter from the noisy villagers.

He quickly went out of his house and greeted Nems at the door.

"As expected of Mr. Niall! He managed to eliminate this vicious demon in just one night!" Opp began with flattery, and when he glanced at Downs, he no longer ignored him as usual, but instead smiled gently.

"It's just a little devil, it won't take much effort." Nemus was no longer as taciturn as Nair had been before, as if the world owed him money.

He spoke frankly, and even had Downs bring the demon's body forward and place it on the ground.

Seeing the motionless demon corpse, the surrounding villagers cheered.

Many people were crossing their arms over their chests—a church gesture—and reciting the teachings of the God of Commandments.

"I will deliver the tokens I promised to donate to the church as soon as possible." Op glanced at the demon's corpse, his expression slightly fluctuating, before speaking naturally.

"May you be protected by God!" Nemus said to Op while sensing the changes in the commandments.

The precepts have been updated.

[Instrument: Rope of Oath (New - Length Increased.)]

Only now was Nemus barely satisfied with the Oath Rope.

A contract artifact is a vessel that exists between the real and the unreal, forged by demons to ensure the proper functioning of the contract. It requires decades or even centuries of continuous forging to acquire combat power.

However, with the strengthening of the oath-keeping discipline several times, the combat power of the Oath Rope has become quite considerable.

However, at that moment, Nemus sensed a peculiar gaze. He immediately followed the gaze and saw a somewhat disheveled man.

The man was wearing linen clothes, and his long black hair was matted and stuck together because he hadn't taken care of it for a long time.

He had a small dagger at his waist and a bow and arrows on his back.

People around him kept their distance after seeing him.

Only one person in the village fits this description—the village keeper.

The village guardians in this world are a special custom in certain regions. Some villagers who are unable to perform productive functions are stripped of their names and become prospective village guardians.

For example, Karl-Anthony Towns was afraid of this before.

The person preparing to guard the village needs to enter into a contract with the village and drink water from the deep well.

They must take up arms and fight against various wild beasts and dangers in the wild. Only after fighting to a certain extent and undergoing a certain 'transformation' can they shed the word 'prepared' and become true guardians of the village.

The status of the village guardians is both high and low, making them a contradictory group.

They possess power, but this power has significant limitations. If they break the contract, they may even faint from the intense pain.

Therefore, most villagers keep their distance from the village guardian.

The village guard was taken aback, then looked away, no longer daring to look at Nemus.

"Something's not right with him!" The thought flashed through his mind, but the village guard dared not investigate further.

"Sure enough, the guilty party will come forward on their own!" Nemus looked away, just as most murderers like to return to the crime scene.

The person who summoned the demon will likely come to the scene to see what happened once the demon has been dealt with.

There aren't many people in the village with the right to cause trouble. Extraordinary power isn't something everyone can master; most people are people who never even know about breathing techniques and meditation.

In this situation, someone who can summon demons without revealing themselves during the process must have a deep understanding of demonology.

That means there are only a few suspects left.

One of them is Op, the village chief must possess some extraordinary power, otherwise his business would not be able to continue.

The other is the village guardian. As a demon, Nemus knows very well that the village guardian system is essentially a distorted demon contract.

Through village contracts and the use of local water, people are transformed into 'man-made demons'.

That's why some experienced village guardians have some knowledge of demons.

“Although it’s not certain yet, the probability that the village guardian is a Kurog summoner has greatly increased.” After confirming this, Nemus said goodbye to Op.

His time is not worth wasting any longer.

He called out to Downs, instructing him to carry the demon's corpse and follow him toward the village church.

The church is located at the back of the village, nestled against the back fin mountain.

At this moment, the towering dorsal fin mountain is cutting through the clouds, and some small black dots can be seen on it.

Those are the village's main producers; the herbs and other things they pick are the village chief's main source of income.

Compared to other parts of the floating whale, the output in the dorsal fin area is actually not very high, which is why only a small village has formed under the dorsal fin.

The places where floating whales are abundant are mostly located at the head, such as in the City of Air Springs and Lake Hitomi.

However, the environment in those places is much more complex, with many experts. Although he has some special powers, he still needs time to develop them.

Nemus pondered the unique characteristics of the floating whale and had already arrived at his main destination after diving into the material plane—the church.

Even before getting close, Nemus felt waves of faith emanating from him.

Then a hymn was sung.

Although the singer's voice was old, it sounded exceptionally powerful at that moment.

The power called Holy Light!
This energy, mixed in with the singing, swept towards Nems!
