Devil's Bible

There's not much to say about what happened next.

Nems took the two in.

He was indeed short-staffed in Silver City.

The phantom is not weak. As one of the few 'generals' in the secret arts lineage, his strength is actually quite good.

Most importantly, the secret arts lineage possesses a certain 'qualification'.

Emerson, on the other hand, was a man of considerable talent and ability.

His only shortcoming is his lack of resources.

If he has enough resources to complete his card collection, he might be able to become a decent Silver-tier attacker.

Of course, as the price for their attack on him, their lives were temporarily entrusted to Nemus.

This is not just a statement, but a real threat.

The phantoms stared in disbelief as Nemus invented a secret technique on the spot, then used crystals as materials to implant it into their bodies.

From that point on, their lives were no longer in their own hands.

The phantom tried to probe the secret techniques within his body, but found that he couldn't understand them.

He, a high-ranking member of this secret arts lineage, couldn't understand the secret arts invented on the spot by someone who had only been exposed to them for half an hour.

Although he already knew that Nemus was not human, he did not expect the difference to be so great that he could not even understand it.

It wasn't that he wanted to unlock the secret technique; ever since he witnessed Nemus's abilities, he suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with lying down and clinging to Nemus's leg.

He simply has a burning desire to learn.

"I'll wait until I have more time to learn from Lord Nemus."

"But... my identity isn't very good." The phantom man sensed the secret technique within his body. He hadn't forgotten that he had previously been an enemy of Nemus.

After a moment's thought, the phantom figure gradually made a decision.

He needs to make a contribution!

He was determined to achieve great merit.

He was willing to do anything, whether it was betraying the grain supplier or harming Moro!

Only in this way can he quickly shed the labels on himself, become Lord Nemus's normal subordinate, and then learn the real secret arts from him.

Regardless of whether it was proactive or reactive, the Shadow Man and Emerson's actions were maximized.

On the other hand, there is the matter of dealing with Moro.

Come and don't go indecent.

Since the other party dared to send someone to kill him at this time, he should fulfill his original promise.

The other party cannot learn to respect the strong.

Then don't learn it.

Nems didn't do anything more on the spot.

All actions require strength as support.

Although Nemes managed to suppress the attack using various methods, he also exposed many problems in the process.

Battery life is an issue.

Although he wasn't as weak as people imagined, he still had the fighting strength of eight or nine rounds even without using secret techniques.

But overall, it's still too little.

Nemes always held himself to the highest standards.

In Silver City, although he had less than ten days to develop, he still couldn't take on the entire city by himself; it was a bit slow.

We still need to speed up development, and ideally complete the planned tasks in the coming period, and then unravel the secrets of the entire Silver City.

At that time, whether it is through alchemical rituals that it is refined into the Philosopher's Stone, it will be possible to achieve this.

Alternatively, they could find the corpse, confirm whether it was Saint Dartmenley, and understand why Dartmenley's corpse became the key to the Philosopher's Stone. By grasping this key, they could reverse the alchemical ritual of the Philosopher's Stone.

Then they all felt confident.

As for taking revenge on Moro... Nemus is considering how to do so.

To be honest, the current Moro is just a pile of shit wrapped in gold paper.

Forcibly killing him will only cause trouble for yourself.

Therefore, Nemus only taught the other party a lesson at the city lord's banquet, and did not kill him directly.

Furthermore, killing the other party is retaliation, but not the ultimate revenge.

The City of Silver holds a strange attitude toward death.

The root cause lies in the fact that the Silver City possesses the ability to 'refresh'.

After someone dies, there is a possibility that they will be resurrected at some point in the future.

Therefore, although they fear death, they are relatively calm in the face of death in many situations.

There have even been individuals who actively seek death, such as reincarnated beings.

Murder is only a last resort.

Revenge must begin with destroying the spirit.

After thinking for a moment, Nems ended his break.

After his physical strength and energy had been almost fully recovered, he stood up and took a step forward.

The phantom and Emerson both retreated.

On the road to despair, having others help kill monsters will only hinder the development and purification of one's potential, requiring more steps to complete the physical development.

While fighting monsters and drawing cards, Nemus took the initiative to demonstrate his alchemy skills.

His spirit, his existence, at this moment resonated with the entire Path of Despair, and even the alchemical ritual of the Silver City.

This is largely thanks to the fact that the Path of Despair is closely linked to alchemical rituals.

At that moment, Nemus did nothing more than convey a single thought—I am going to kill Moro.

Then Nemus revealed his method for killing Moro.

At that very moment, Nemus could feel the entire alchemical ritual begin to vibrate, followed by a sense of repulsion emanating from it.

During this process, the monsters that Nemus faced were all rapidly increasing in strength.

No matter how much they were strengthened, these monsters seemed unable to suppress Nemus.

On the contrary, after Nemus killed these monsters, he obtained some crystals that were quite large.

And at the moment of killing the monster, Nemus finally used the Sword of Fortune.

The system that was originally 'abandoned' and ineffective began to operate at this moment through a certain medium.

Thus, Nemus's existence became an inescapable obstacle in the entire alchemical ritual.

In this context, he made it clear that the core component of the entire ritual was to be killed.

Thus, under the influence of ritual, fate is inevitably drawn into it.

This unique destiny, which was originally reluctant to come into contact with Nems, had to negotiate with Nems's fate.

There were no specific words, no specific actions, only a kind of inexplicable fate inclining in, as if asking Nems what he wanted to do.

“I have a suggestion,” Nems said.

"You need that converter to grow."

"I need to retaliate against the other party's disgusting behavior towards me."

"In that case, how about we let him use pain as motivation?"

"You should know how to maximize his pain."

Nemes' meaning was clearly and unmistakably conveyed to fate through luck.

Soon, a picture appeared in front of Nems.

Seeing that scene, Nemus stopped interfering with the alchemical ritual.

Moro, bravely fighting monsters on his perilous journey, knew nothing of the world. (End of Chapter)
