Devil's Bible

After witnessing Nemus's swordsmanship, the masked man lost all confidence in claiming to be a master swordsman.

But now that he's at this point, he has to use the sword in his hand to fight for his own survival.

Nemus exhaled slightly, looked at the cards in his card slot, and briefly assessed the current state of his body.

"I can fight for about ten more rounds. After that, my body will enter a state of exhaustion."

“So, let’s finish them off in ten rounds,” Nemus thought to himself.

Previously, they considered the three-step maneuvering space here to be Nems' dilemma.

But now it has become their predicament.

Taking one step forward with one foot is one step, and then taking another step forward with the other foot is another step.

The distance of three steps means walking three times with one foot in front of the other.

too close.

So close that Nemus's sword seemed to be right in their faces.

The sword light was piercingly sharp.

As the Nemus sword was swung, a card appeared in the phantom's hand, and then a gray streak shot towards Nemus.

[Secret Technique: Corrosion]

【★★】

[Type: Arcane Ascension, Current Price]

[Requirements for use: Understanding the principles of the secret technique]

[Using this card releases a corrosive light; weapons hit by this light will rust and become extremely prone to breakage. Requires either the resource cards [Rust] or [Rotten Item].]

[Restriction: You must be carrying the necessary materials for casting the arcane spell, or you can use silver crystals instead.]

【Origin: Secret Arts House】

Although it's only a two-star card, this spell is extremely effective against opponents who use weapons.

Many cards, such as those related to swordsmanship, become unusable once the sword is lost.

Especially now, the phantom is using a large amount of crystals as a substitute to temporarily enhance the power of this card.

The gray, rusty light fell on Nemus's sword.

The weapon, which was not bad, quickly turned into a wisp of rust powder under the effect of the corrosive light, leaving only the wooden hilt.

At that moment, the masked man suddenly stepped forward with his sword, thrusting it towards Nemus.

The two had worked together several times before, and now was their chance.

"Die!!!" the masked man shouted.

On the other side, the pica also reached out its claws to grab Emerson.

The essence of the Ghoul deck is to transform a person into a ghoul and master various ghoul-related abilities.

Similar examples include non-human monsters such as harpies and serpent demons.

This series differs from the constitution-based series; in addition to possessing a monstrous physique, they also possess monstrous special abilities.

Therefore, the Monster series is often considered a superior alternative to the Constitution type.

Of course, this is on the premise that one can tolerate the monster series and its inhuman demands.

Ghouls are the most common type, and they need to eat the corpses of their own kind.

This also leads to all ghoul-themed card users being psychologically twisted perverts.

The same applies to pica; at this moment, he is facing a life-threatening crisis brought by Nems, while on the other hand, he is experiencing a hunger rising from the bottom of his heart.

He didn't develop pica because he used the Ghoul deck.

Rather, it was because he had pica that he chose to become a ghoul.

The city of silver has a population of 50,000, most of whom are struggling to survive amidst hunger and hardship.

Pica is one such example.

He embarked on this path when he was on the verge of starvation.

That's when he realized that the Silver City was a cannibalistic place.

Only in this way can one become a superior person.

At this moment, all he wanted was to use Emerson as a price to survive.

Sacrifice Emerson to activate the [Feast of Feasts Celebration]. After Emerson kicked out, he could sense something was wrong; the other person seemed to be covered in a layer of gelatinous substance.

After kicking, I felt a lot of the force being deflected.

Emerson gacha.

[Leg sweep]

A one-star ordinary leg attack card can knock down the target.

These are the types of cards that many card players will include.

It cannot draw cards and its attack boost is not strong; its only advantage is that it prevents the enemy from continuing to attack.

I can't cycle through card draws; the card circulation will stop.

Then I will use status cards to influence the enemy and also disrupt their actions, wasting their time.

This is what is meant by drawing the enemy into a situation of equal standing.

Then use your extensive experience to defeat your opponent.

If you can't cycle through all the cards, you'll ask others to do single draws.

Then it depends on your luck in the single draw to win.

This is basically the only chance of victory for someone who can't cycle through cards when facing a skilled opponent.

With a sweep of the leg, even the person with pica was knocked to the ground.

The body enters a negative state of 'falling to the ground'.

In this state, one's own mobility is limited, and the card chain effect is somewhat disrupted.

Other similar cards include [Sandstorm], [Leg Kick], [Grotto Kick], etc.

During his previous reflections, Emerson was very clear about one thing: his combat power was limited, and it was impossible for him to defeat the pica.

He only had one option: to stall the enemy.

If Nemes can defeat the other two, then he will still have a chance to survive.

After the pica victim collapsed, he grinned and then reached out to pull out a card.

The card drawn was an attack card from the Ghoul series called "Gnawing".

This card attacks by biting.

If you can bite off a piece of meat and swallow it, you can draw a related card.

However, now that he was swept to the ground, he had no way to bite Emerson.

This can probably only be used as a regular attack card.

Therefore, the pica mindset shifted, and the card was kept.

It's a battle of wits between the opponent's mindset and your own luck in single draws.

Then you also need to change your mindset.

It's difficult to execute a small loop of card combos within a single turn; the key is to draw one card each turn and keep it.

Then wait until you have enough for one set before using it.

Anyway, the Ghoul series gives you ghoul traits; you're covered in rubber, and your opponent, who relies on speed and leg techniques, can't possibly kill you.

If something needs to be done, then just put it off.

He had only one thought in his mind: Nemus's battery life would definitely not last.

Let the phantom and the masked man confront Nemus directly, to wear down his physical strength and energy.

By then, even if Nemus could still use the cards in a cycle, he wouldn't have the energy to use them.

besides……

The pica man looked brooding, glancing out of the corner of his eye at the battle on the other side.

A glint of sword light flashed in his peripheral vision, prompting him to make a decision.

At this moment, a sword wound had appeared on the masked man in front of Nems.

The sword in his hand disappeared and appeared in Nemus's hand.

At that moment, Nemus once again used his core card, Swordsmanship.

His opponent's understanding of swordsmanship allowed him to completely see through his attack, enabling him to disarm the attacker bare-handed. (End of Chapter)
