Devil's Bible

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.

Chapter 41 Crossing the Dark Crow

"Hey, now's not the time to daydream," Nemes's reminder snapped Isabella out of her reverie.

Only then did they realize that the big black creature hadn't retreated after its claws were severed by the sword.

On the contrary, this only fueled its ferocity.

Furthermore, there was no blood flowing from its severed arm; instead, there were numerous broken 'hairs'.

These hairs continued to wriggle, interlocking with the hairs flowing from the severed hand, and then quickly pulling them back together.

Suddenly, the large black hand seemed as if it had never been severed.

The blood vessels throughout this large black animal's body have undergone mutation and have gained active control.

Simply severing a limb will not harm it at all.

"The stats of this body are still a bit lacking, making it unable to freely wield the secret sword."

The three elements of strength are: numerical value, characteristics, and skills.

The problem with Niall's body right now is that it lacks certain numerical values.

Thirteen's stats are still too low, and while his traits are good, they're only good enough to not truly unleash Nemus's skills, which are already far beyond his current limits.

Back when Nemus was still human, he became famous not only for his secret sword, but also for the powerful numerical values ​​he gained from pushing the Holy Breath to a higher level through the Dual Law Synergy.

At that time, Nemus was considered the most likely paladin of that generation to become a Gold Saint.

"It seems we'll need to use the variant secret sword, Devouring Whale, to kill this thing."

Swordsmanship is actually not suitable for fighting monsters with limb regeneration capabilities.

Swords are primarily used for cutting and stabbing, making them very effective against enemies that lack self-healing abilities.

Of all the wide-range sword techniques Nemus can use, the only one he can currently manage is the Devouring Whale.

but……

"Using that sword won't do me any good." Nemus wasn't here to fight to the death, at least not now.

"Faced with this kind of monster, magic is much more effective. Isabella, it's time to reveal some of your trump cards!"

While giving Isabella information to test the old priest, Nemes also naturally tested Isabella himself.

Last night at the cemetery, Isabella didn't trust herself much, but she agreed to Naemus's suggestion to conduct a search in the wild.

This wasn't Isabella being naive; rather, she was confident she could handle Nems's sudden attack.

This confidence was also revealed today.

Big Black is very strong and can show his dominance over Nemus. However, Isabella was able to withstand the monster's attack and fight it for so long without any damage.

This shows that Isabella is definitely not that simple.

As expected, with Nemus's secret sword failing to achieve any further results, Isabella realized that things were getting complicated.

With all this commotion here, the old pastor might come back anytime.

If you don't want to face this monster while also having to deal with a priest of the Iron race, then you'll have to bring out your trump card.

Thinking of this, Isabella looked at Nemus. After confirming that Nemus, who had cast the Thousand Moon Annihilation Bird Reincarnation Sword, was trustworthy, she said, "Buy me some time. I have a powerful non-holy spell that I need to prepare."

After hearing this, Nemus nodded and then unleashed the Secret Sword Technique: Whirlwind Swallow once more.

The force of rotation enhances the penetrating and cutting power of swordsmanship.

And this sword strike was no longer aimed at the big black claws, but at the opponent's head.

Nemus stopped defending at this moment and instead planned to trade blows.

The instinctive threat made Big Black slow its attack. Although all the blood vessels in its body had mutated, it was unlikely to survive with its head split in two.

So Big Black instinctively ducked his head and simultaneously rammed into Nemus with his body to the side.

The spinning blade sliced ​​through some of the black fur, and Nemus's body was knocked to the side.

The power of forgiveness saved him from much harm.

This level of damage tolerance also exceeded Dahei's expectations.

The moment Nemus landed, the sword in his hand underwent a different transformation.

He held the sword in a reverse grip, bringing the blade close to his arm, lowered his body, and changed his breathing accordingly. From Naim's perspective, the sword almost disappeared.

Secret Sword: Dark Raven Crossing!

Nemus lunged forward, almost into Big Black's arms, and the vanished blade suddenly reappeared, instantly piercing Big Black's body from below.

With just one sword strike, Dahei's entire body was almost sliced ​​in two.

However, Big Black was prepared for this. At the point where his body was severed, numerous black blood vessels shot out from both sides and then bound together.

The entire body was like a black rice cake, stretched apart, yet covered with a large number of sticky threads.

Under the pull, the bodies quickly merged, and throughout the process, a large number of black blood vessels stretched towards Nemus, trying to pull him into the body and be enveloped by it.

After Nemus raised his sword, he immediately launched his next attack.

It was no longer some secret sword technique, but a very basic move—a jumping slash.

The blade rotated slightly, no longer going straight up and down, but slashing downwards from right to left, aiming straight for the opponent's head.

I tested them before, and it turns out that their heads aren't immune to damage; if their heads are split open, they'll die just the same.

However, the creature itself was aware of this, and so its head was 'severed' in the next moment.

The blood vessels in his body tore his bones, ripped open his skin and flesh, and pulled his head to one side.

Numerous black threads spread from all parts of the body, gradually attaching themselves to the head and spine.

It didn't affect the monster's ability to continue controlling its body in the slightest.

In fact, if it weren't for the inertia of his past as a human influencing him, hiding his head inside his body and then controlling his body from within would have been his best way of being.

And the monster quickly discovered this.

After dodging Nemes's leaping slash, it retreated backward, its entire body undergoing changes.

The eyeballs on his head shot out like bullets, revealing a trail of black blood vessels behind them.

Then the two eyeballs landed on his shoulders, and his head was stretched and wrapped by more black blood vessels.

At this point, a tall, headless monster covered in black fur and with an eye on each shoulder appeared before Nemus.

The monster twisted its body and lunged at Nemus once again.

"His strength is good, and he has a certain level of intelligence, but his combat experience and skills are average," Nemus analyzed.

This big black skill cannot fully utilize its stats and characteristics.

If Nemus had the same stats and traits as his opponent, he could probably defeat him within three moves.

It was at this moment that Isabella's spell was ready.

Chapter 42 All Things Obey

"The chaotic wilderness obeys my commands."

"The ashes from the burnt-out coalesce into a shape."

"All things are shaped, originating from within."

"This is the time to act, to follow the principles of destiny!"

As the last incantation was uttered, Nemus could clearly feel everything around him change.

Soil, vegetation, house debris, air, and everything else are all changing accordingly.

These things seemed to dissolve like paint, and then a spark suddenly appeared.

These dissolved elements become unified—a controllable energy substance.

This substance rapidly changed, turning into water in the next moment and surging towards the large black mass.

For spellcasters, magic is their skill.

Furthermore, the upper limit of this skill is generally far greater than that of skills such as swordsmanship.

It can continuously amplify the caster's mental energy, thereby leveraging more natural forces to ultimately create a powerful effect.

However, precisely because of this, the casting of spells has become exceptionally delicate.

It requires an unusually long preparation time.

If Isabella were to fight Nemus, not even considering the preparation time beforehand, the incantation she's currently performing would be enough for Nemus to kill her a dozen times over.

The moment it was covered by those energy substances, Dahei's body began to struggle violently.

"Shaping spell - All things submit".

“Genius,” Nems exclaimed, marveling at Isabella’s talent.

This level of magic is not something an ordinary priest can access.

Even many Ironborn priests don't know this kind of spell.

This is not a traditional priest spell.

Spells have undergone many evolutions and have long since become numerous schools of thought.

There are spells derived from demonic magic, spells developed by humans, and spells simplified from divine magic.

All kinds of magic interpret the world from different perspectives and utilize the power of the world.

The more powerful the spell, the greater the skill required to control it from the user.

Just like Nemus's Thousand Moon Extinction Bird Turning Nether Sword, many people try to learn it, but they only learn the empty shell and cannot unleash its true power. Instead, they end up hurting themselves.

Most priests integrate their spiritual power with faith, which makes their minds exceptionally stable and gives them a boost when casting various holy and corresponding divine spells.

However, this advantage is lost when casting spells of other types.

Shaping spells are often used by wizards.

To manipulate and shape a certain element with one's own spirit.

Isabella's ability to perform such a complex and extremely difficult "Compassion of All Things" without any spiritual enhancement is a testament to her talent, which is almost on par with his.

Countless energy substances rapidly transformed and pierced into Dahei's body, then triggered a synchronous transformation within Dahei's body.

This spell is a classic example of shaping magic.

Matter is transformed into a pure energy state, and then it is subjected to various reshaping processes. In this process, the individuals caught up in it will also undergo countless changes.

If even the basic structure of a living organism is reshaped, then basically only death remains.

Big Black struggled incessantly, trying to break free from the intrusion of these energy substances.

Then his body suddenly reached a critical moment, with a large number of black blood vessels intertwining on his body.
