Devil's Bible

"A demon!" Al's expression hardened, and his ears twitched slightly, a twitch that was unusual for humans. His elven blood gave him extremely quick reflexes.

The moment he spotted the lame demon, he immediately grabbed his bow and arrows.

He gripped the arrow, calming his mind.

An arrow flies!

The arrow sliced ​​through the air with a whooshing sound.

Elf Secret Technique: Signal Arrow!

It can create unique vibrations, allowing those around it to sense the location of the arrow.

After Al awakened his bloodline, although some people in the family did not intend to acknowledge him, his elven bloodline still led several elders to find him and provide him with the family's inherited elven secret techniques.

Faced with the arrow, the lame demon didn't even try to dodge, letting the arrow pierce through him.

Having necrotic flesh, he was completely unafraid of ordinary injuries.

He doesn't need to worry about penetrating wounds as long as they don't hit his head.

Filled with fear, the lame demon immediately ran in the other direction.

He might be able to kill Al, but that would be too much of a waste of time.

Seeing this, Al did not intend to let the other party go.

Picking up an arrow, Al quickly chased after the demon.

He must capture this demon and obtain clues from it, which might allow him to save Phos!

"Damn it!!" The lame demon darted into another sewer and soon saw Brent and Isabella appear in front of him.

Clearly, these clergy members had somehow found traces of him and then surrounded him.

"I must have given myself away when I went up to investigate the whale's pregnancy," the lame demon cursed inwardly.

Even if the floating whales mate, these people cannot immediately use this method to pass through.

The church will inevitably exercise control.

Every year, many wanted criminals try to escape onto the back of another whale, only to be caught in the process.

Smuggling to the back of another whale also requires connections. Without prior preparation, someone like him with something on his plate would have no chance of safely reaching the back of another whale.

"I've never caused any trouble, so why are so many clergy being sent to arrest me?!" the lame demon asked, puzzled.

However, Brent did not respond to the other party at all.

The sword in his hand trembled slightly, and then a ripple began to emanate from the blade.

Secret Technique: Wave Sword!

Upon seeing this, the lame demon could no longer bear it, and a surge of desire arose, which then coalesced into even more necrotic flesh.

In an instant, he entered his ultimate state—a six-armed demon with two extra arms on his chest and two extra arms on his back.

The lame demon grunted and charged toward Brent.

At this moment, he realized that escaping easily was not so simple.

There is only one way to find a way to survive—

"Take a hostage!" Although he was rushing towards Brent, the lame demon's gaze fell on Isabella.

Given Isabella's beauty, he was absolutely certain that many of these people would be attracted to her.

As long as he captures Isabella, he will definitely be able to survive.

The necrotic flesh expanded rapidly, displaying terrifying numerical values.

He felt that with his current strength, even a so-called Iron Seed could probably be killed by him with a single punch.

However, the next moment, the sword strike was transmitted with the ripples, severing his swinging arm.

Then came the holy, pure white flames.

The necrotic flesh was quickly burned.

Brent and Isabella's perfect teamwork showed the lame man that he was nothing but an arrogant and conceited man.

Brent swung his sword swiftly, the blade seemingly leaping over the limitations of distance, and quickly severed the lame limb.

No matter how strong he was, at this moment he could only become a target.

To avoid being quickly shredded into a dried-up corpse, the lame demon could only adjust the density of his muscles to increase his defense. However, this would reduce his reaction and movement speed due to the tension in his muscles, making it even harder for him to escape.

"Give up the resistance, you demon."

"Only by surrendering and confessing everything about the fabricated agreement can you have a chance to live." Just then, Isabella's voice rang out, giving the lame demon a moment of hope.

Although he didn't believe in the church, at this point, he seemed to still have some leverage to fight back...

But the next moment, a sharp sword appeared out of nowhere and pierced through the lame demon's head in an instant.

Galen, who had taken the other route, drew his sword with a serious expression.

But astonishment lingered on the demon's face. He looked at Galen, his lips trembling slightly as if he wanted to say something, but in the next moment, his entire body rapidly decayed. The necrotic flesh quickly rotted and became a black, gelatinous mass.

Galen's face also showed surprise.

Seemingly surprised, he killed the demon monster with a single sword strike.

Brent and Isabella, who were not far away, were also stunned.

Chapter 138 If you can't escape fear, then surrender to it.

"It's all my fault. I misjudged his weakness," Galen said remorsefully.

However, Brent and the others couldn't very well blame Galen at this moment.

After all, anything can happen during a battle.

They hadn't been entirely certain that the head was the demon's weak point, and the Wave Sword was indeed still cutting through the monster's necrotic flesh.

The monster showed no signs of stopping its attack or surrendering.

On the contrary, the other party was shrinking the necrotic flesh at that time, which may have been a precursor to some kind of attack.

Galen's attack, though somewhat reckless, was not exactly a mistake.

“Alright, the problem isn’t too serious. He already showed a weakness, so the trail isn’t completely gone.” Brent didn’t want to strain the relationships within the team.

However, nitpicking over every little mistake is one of the best ways to damage team relationships.

At this moment, we can only put this aside.

As the matter passed, Galen seemed to feel increasingly guilty.

He turned around and saw Isabella staring at him with her icy blue eyes.

Galen was slightly taken aback, but quickly calmed himself down and a look of guilt appeared on his face.

"So this is enough to make me suspicious?" The thought flashed through his mind, and then Galen cleared his mind and stopped trying to put on a show.

People with guilty consciences will naturally exhibit some unusual behaviors.

I just didn't expect Isabella to be so perceptive.

Six months ago, Galen, Brent, Gabriel, and others faced the entity possessing Phos, and the three of them reacted differently.

Gabriel was easily defeated by his opponent, but was taught the Blood Sword, which became his own secret technique.

Currently, it has even been vaguely referred to as the Blood Knight by outsiders.

Brent, on the other hand, overcame the opponent's courage and rushed to rescue Gabriel, achieving remarkable success. He was of noble birth and grew up quickly.

Only Galen was intimidated by Nemes's imposing manner and chose to stop immediately.

Although he was not punished afterward, he inadvertently created a rift between himself and Brent, Gabriel, and others.

In that instant, Galen felt a tremendous sense of panic.

So he made his own choice.

"If you can't escape fear, then surrender to it." Galen later arrived in the South District, still clueless, when a fictitious agreement came knocking on his door.

The being known as the God of Fiction opened its arms to him.

It was after that experience that he was no longer afraid, and his mind became at peace.

Furthermore, he received support from a fictional agreement, which greatly enhanced his strength. He also passed a new test and became a formal paladin.

This time, his task was also very simple.

The investigation team was guided to gradually encounter the fabricated agreement.

Fictitious protocols have evolved to the point where they no longer need to hide themselves too much.

Instead, many people have used fictitious agreements to expand their organizations, resulting in bloated organizational structures.

These people, lacking in training and strength, have also shown signs of wavering loyalty to the organization.

Therefore, the church is the best crucible for tempering.

They guide the conflict between the church and these fictitious agreements—outer organizations—to screen out qualified members.

It doesn't matter how many members of the organization die during the process.

However, it is necessary to quickly silence those who have become demonized and broken away from the fictitious agreement.

This is why Galen suddenly intervened and silenced the lame demon.

Although Isabella may have doubts about herself, Galen is not worried.

She had some doubts. As long as she didn't reveal any other flaws, Isabella, even as the captain, had no right to investigate her.

Furthermore, since he has no need to worry about being at odds with the fabricated agreement on the surface, any suspicions about him will likely be dispelled quickly.

Looking at Galen, Isabella looked away, sensing something was amiss.

Just now, although Galen was full of apologies, she sensed something was off.

Why would someone who made a mistake in judgment, someone who feels guilty, show a slight sense of relaxation?

However, relying solely on one's own intuition is certainly not sufficient as evidence.

“No rush. If Galen really has a problem, he will definitely slip up during the investigation.” Isabella firmly believed that as long as the right thing was done, all the other people with ulterior motives would be exposed in the process.

Isabella put aside her doubts and began to think about what to do next.

They learned that there were demons on 13th Street and came to investigate today. Isabella keenly noticed the lame demon's special features and immediately began tracking him down.

They initially thought it was just someone equipped with a berserk accessory, but as they tracked the person, the person quickly began to flee and move, which led to today's manhunt.

Although the person is now dead, his movements can still be traced.

After all, the limp is a relatively obvious trait.

Soon, Gabriel's interrogation revealed the locations the lame demon had visited during this time.

In the past six months, after recovering from his injuries, Gabriel could not bear the humiliation of being taught a lesson by the enemy and applied to become a sentry.

He was already relatively familiar with the South District.

The investigation is not particularly difficult now.

The only thing to be careful about is that the investigation should not be carried out under the guise of the church.

The scale of the operation should not be too large.

At least maintain the status quo. Although it is an investigation, treat it as just a small religious group or something.

It's just a bit stricter than before.

The goal is to prevent the fictitious agreement from realizing that they are serious this time.

Soon, the identity of the lame demon and what he had been doing all this time were discovered.

“His identity has been identified, and we can continue our investigation by looking at his previous relationships.” Isabella glanced at the clues and found a new lead.

The lame demon was just an ordinary worker at the shop, who had been fired four months ago for dishonesty.

The underlying reason was his gambling addiction.

However, it was precisely because of gambling that he couldn't make ends meet and that's why his leg was broken.
