Devil's Bible

Emerson was quickly thinking about what to do.

He considered the information from both sides together.

First and foremost, it's himself.

His current combat capabilities are not actually fully developed.

I acted too impulsively and used up all my main cards.

Furthermore, it lacks the ability to perform targeted searches in this situation.

Although he possesses decent skills, he can consistently unleash sufficient combat power in the first round.

However, if he fails to achieve the desired results in the first round, allowing him to smoothly advance to the second round, then he will be in danger.

If he hadn't used his core cards so early, he would have been relatively safer in the second round.

On the other hand, there's the situation with Naim.

While Nemus's deck is much more well-structured, even the most well-structured deck cannot be used indefinitely.

The human body gets tired.

Each time you use a card, it consumes stamina and energy.

This implicit need is the biggest limitation that restricts the use of cards in combat.

Of course, there are also some cards that can replenish stamina and energy.

However, using these cards requires taking up action time and may pollute the deck.

There are also synergy requirements between different card decks.

For example, the "Sword Combo" deck requires most of the cards to be sword-related cards.

Including one or two non-sword-type cards won't necessarily render [Sword Combo] unusable, but it will cause some flaws in its resonance with itself.

Those ordinary cards don't need to worry about this.

But the strong need to be mindful.

The more skilled a person is, the more they need to be mindful of the existence of the Divine Hand.

The consequence of an unbalanced and flawed deck is that you're always just a little short in battle.

In the end, they were just a little short of victory.

Nemus is indeed very strong now, but can his battery life really keep up?
But at that moment, Emerson seemed to have thought of something.

If it were just him and Nemus, he would be inclined to kill Nemus.

But there were two other silver hunters at that moment.

Silver hunters generally have a bad reputation.

Among them are many unreasonable and immoral people.

Most importantly, the person they are about to kill, Nemus, seems to have a rather unusual background.

The city of silver is neither too big nor too small, and some information does not actively flow to the lower and middle classes.

But I will still know some of the things I need to know.

For example, Nems' identity doesn't seem to be simple.

With this in mind, Emerson made a decision.

He lunged towards Nemus's location and then kicked the pica-loving man, who now resembled a ghoul.

He wasn't afraid of retaliation from the forces behind Nems.

For people like them who constantly take dangerous risks and gamble their lives for a future, the retribution in the future will all be dealt with by their future selves.

He chose to target the Silver Hunters because of the logic behind it.

The Silver Hunters are clearly targeting Nemus; there must be a conspiracy behind this.

Since it's a conspiracy, it can't be made public.

Even if he helps these silver hunters kill Nemus, he will definitely be silenced afterward.

On one side are the Silver Hunters, known for their low morals, and on the other is the unknown Nemes.

Faced with a hopeless situation where defeat was inevitable, and a possibility of winning, Emerson ultimately chose to take the gamble.

Faced with his choice, a strange light flashed in the eyes of the pica sufferer.

They had naturally considered this possibility, especially pica, when they pressured Emerson.

He flipped over a card in his hand.

The Celebration of the Feast of Food

【★★★★】

[Type: Sacrifice Card]

[Usage Requirements: Ghoul Characteristics]

[When drawn, this card will continuously consume the [Vengeful Appetite] cards currently in your possession, consuming one card per action time, until it returns to the card slot at the end of the battle, or you can sacrifice a corpse of a similar card that you have personally killed.]

After the sacrifice is completed, all the food you previously consumed will reappear in your mind. This food will actively attack you, but as long as you defeat it in your mind, you can obtain the corresponding food to replenish your life force. Your life force will never be extinguished until the food is exhausted.

[Restriction: Have consumed more than one corpse of the same type]

[Origin: Ghoul Feast]

This is why pica stimulated Emerson.

If Emerson can join forces against Nems, that would be best; if not, then let him be their sacrifice.

He decided to wage a war of attrition against Nems.

Nemus has been fighting for so long, his endurance can't possibly hold up!
The phantom and the masked man on the other side also used their trump cards at this moment.

The Phantom Man is a powerful individual who focuses on the path of crystallization in desperate situations.

He practices a [secret art].

If others use secret arts as a mere skill, then their lineage elevates that skill into a powerful technique akin to witchcraft or swordsmanship.

The key to [Secret Techniques] lies in using external objects with powerful energy to unleash various unique methods.

It is said that one branch of witchcraft used to do this, employing foreign 'spellcasting materials' as a medium to cast spells.

However, the [Secret Arts] lineage takes it a step further, elevating the importance of 'spellcasting materials' even more.

The environment in Silver City is simply too good. Various resources are condensed into cards, and there are also pure substances like Silver Card Crystals, which are formed by purifying external objects.

Given enough materials, the [Secret Technique] can produce all sorts of amazing effects.

Their lineage is the most suitable for the path of desperate situations.

"Nemus, let me go! I don't want to be your enemy!" the phantom said.

He regretted it; from the very beginning, he had hesitated to target Nemes.

The existence of the grain owner, coupled with his own advantage on the road to despair, gave him a false sense of security.

“No, I’ve been hunting you from the very beginning!” Nemus reached out, and some of the cards that had been on the hook-nosed man’s body flew up and appeared in Nemus’s hand.

Along with it, there were also many crystals.

"I'm a hunter too!"

When those words were spoken, the phantom figure felt a sudden darkness before his eyes.

"hunter……"

At this point, there's nothing more to say.

As silver hunters, those who enter the Desolate Lands are not considered human beings, but prey.

Just as their ideology suggests, those above them are oppressors, and those below them cannot be considered human beings, but rather prey for their resistance against oppressors.

However, now that they too are being treated as prey and stripped of their right to be human, the despair has driven them to the depths of despair.

"Fight!" With that thought, he released the cards in his hand.

The crystals he had once used with utmost care were now being used by him to unlock even greater secret techniques.

The masked man took a deep breath and silently drew his sword. (End of Chapter)
