Devil's Bible

The danger of controlled nest beasts has increased dramatically.

There was still hope if I was parasitized before, but now that I'm parasitized, I'm afraid those black hairs will instantly burrow into my brain and I will be controlled in an instant.

"Is the water in the whale skin mine really that deep?!" Benjamin tried to increase his speed with breathing techniques, but the sin nail in his chest restricted his breathing, which gradually put him in danger.

This puzzled him greatly. The problem with whale skin ore wasn't too serious. Although it was a controlled resource, compared to other non-renewable resources that fundamentally damaged the floating whales, this stuff was renewable.

As long as the excavation is not excessive and the floating whales are allowed to adapt, the worst that could happen is that the floating whales become somewhat unstable in flight, and perhaps dozens or even hundreds of people could die as a result.

However, considering the scale of millions of people on the back of the floating whale, this matter is not worth making a big fuss about.

Is it worthwhile to use a superhuman like the one who controls the nest beasts, whom I never even considered, for this kind of thing?

In the eyes of some, this thing is far more valuable than a few whale skins.

"There's no escaping it!" Benjamin caught a glimpse of black light out of the corner of his eye, and felt a sharp pain in the back of his calf. Clearly, he had been hit.

“We were too passive after the intelligence was exposed.” Benjamin felt despair, and this despair led to his calm.

Neither Isabella, Jacques, nor he expected to be exposed so quickly, and that the other party would seize the opportunity when he was not near the two of them and launch an attack so decisively.

And it was an attack of extremely high danger.

He could feel the thing rapidly burrowing into his body from his calf.

“There must be a big secret in the village of dorsal fins. What Opu has done is definitely not just about mining whale skins.”

"In this situation, if Isabella discovers some secrets, Op might very well take the risk of murdering the clergy!"

“I…I absolutely cannot let Reverend Isabella be in danger!” Benjamin’s mind flashed back to the scene where he was in danger, and Isabella saved him and gently asked him if he was alright.

Then, in a moment of desperation, he reached out and grabbed one of the nails in his chest, pulling it out forcefully.

In this chaotic era, everyone is like a floating whale, carrying a burden and living under this sky with various restrictions.

Their hearts are also adrift, finding it difficult to find people who care about them or whom they can care about.

Perhaps it is only at crucial moments that people can truly see what kind of person they are.

"I, Benjamin, grew up in the slums and always thought everything was a transaction, all about profit. But I never imagined that in the end, I would choose love!"

As one of the nails was pulled out, Benjamin trembled all over. A surge of electric current coursed through his body, stiffening his limbs and freezing even his thoughts.

The black hair was also affected, its upward movement was stopped.

However, at this moment, Benjamin himself was still miraculously still moving.

He suddenly plunged the sin nail into his thigh. The power of the sin nail erupted, immobilizing everything around him, including the hive beast's hair, while causing minimal damage.

The pain made him groan, but it also pulled him out of his numb state.

Covered in cold sweat, Benjamin took a deep breath. With one of the sin nails removed, and his breathing technique now unleashed, he activated it with all his might.

At that moment, he quickly felt the power spread throughout his body, his face became rosy like a baby's, and the pain in his thigh seemed to have disappeared.

He rolled away to avoid a controlled parasite, then quickly ran to the other side.

He needed to inform Pastor Isabella, to make her understand the seriousness of the situation, and to prepare her to flee.

The belief in my heart became exceptionally firm at this moment.

"My thigh is torn apart..." The thought flashed through his mind. The nail had driven into his thigh, and this was a natural consequence of his violent running, but Benjamin no longer cared about such things.

"I'm almost there, I'm almost there..." Various thoughts flashed through Benjamin's mind, and gradually only one thought remained.

“But something brushed against me…” Benjamin felt a slight sensation on his neck.

At the same time, I felt very weak, as if I were flying and couldn't feel my own body anymore.

"Is it an illusion?"

"No, I really flew."

"But it's just the head..."

The flying head spun in mid-air, and Benjamin's gaze followed it.

He saw his own headless body fall behind him.

Behind them, a thin rope stained with blood was twitching slightly before quickly disappearing.

Standing in the shadows, Nemus flicked his fingers slightly, and the blood on the rope of oath was wiped clean.

Chapter 26 Wizard

“Op’s abilities have exceeded my expectations. Controlling nest beasts?” Nemus quickly left the area, pondering what Op had just revealed.

"Unfortunately, his combat ability is too poor, and his use of this ability is not refined enough."

"If I hadn't intervened, he probably would have actually been able to escape from this person."

Nemus had simply gone home to purify his faith when he came across the battle here.

So he did a little work to help Aupu clean up the mess.

I believe that although Op is not good at fighting, he is not too slow in handling things.

As expected, those controlled by Black Hair rushed over without much hesitation.

Then a large amount of black hair overflowed from these people's bodies and burrowed into Benjamin's corpse.

They quickly destroyed other traces, making everything here appear as casualties from a hive beast uprising.

"Several years ago, a nest beast entered and parasitized the village of Dorsal Fin Village."

“That was probably the source of Op’s power.” Nems had a general impression of that incident based on Nair’s memories.

The incident occurred eight years ago, when Nair had just been 'exiled' here as an apprentice paladin.

His mentor was a middle-aged paladin who was about to retire due to injury.

The reason the opponent retired due to injury was because of that Nest Beast incident.

A villager was secretly parasitized by a Nest Beast and returned to the village.

This caused a huge commotion. Some of the parasites ran around in panic, missing the best time for treatment. The middle-aged paladin had no choice but to kill them.

He himself was also infested with some black hairs.

By the time the old pastor came to treat them, it was already too late, and some of their limbs were inevitably affected, leading to their retirement.

“Op was parasitized during that incident, and subsequently, for unknown reasons, instead of seeking treatment, he used a special method to control the fur of those nest beasts…”

"It's most likely the work of a wizard."

"But no matter what, Op is a talented person."

Nest beasts, being dangerous creatures, have naturally attracted considerable research.

Any power will be coveted by some.

It's far too difficult to increase one's power in this world.

Aside from a few fixed methods, ordinary people basically have no way to increase their chances of success.

Church relics and miracles, as well as items related to floating whales, are currently the two main types of items used to increase the number of types.

Both of these were basically firmly controlled by the church and the nobility, and very little of them were released.

Most people who have no way to get promoted have no choice but to take unconventional paths.

In a self-taught approach, one naturally studies whatever possesses power.

Demonic powers, cult beliefs, dangerous creatures, and even research into monstrous beasts.

But most of those who went to the earth never returned.

Only a very small number of people are able to gain some benefits from unorthodox methods, which then backfire and create a major disaster.

They were either arrested and taken away by church clergy, or they killed themselves.

Although the Nest Beast is a relatively simple dangerous creature, the fact that Op was able to successfully control it is enough to show that he is capable.

"If the opportunity arises, we need to try to control Op." Nems' current plan requires a large number of people.

He needs to establish his own cult and then acquire a large amount of faith power.

These things require capable people to manage them; they can't be handled by just Nemes alone.

At present, it seems that Aupu would be a good candidate.

However, such capable people are often very difficult to subdue.

Especially considering that Aupu seems to be doing quite well on his own.

He has the ability to mine whale skin ore and the channels to sell it. He also probably possesses meditation techniques and some unique spells.

"We cannot act rashly without a thorough understanding." Nems also sensed the hidden dangers in this small village.

Previously, Nemes wouldn't have paid much attention to Towns, Poole, or the village guards; he would act whenever he felt like it.

Although these individuals all possess certain skills, their actions reveal their limitations.

Let's leave Towns aside. Poole is limited by his status as a prospective village guardian, and although the village guardian was somewhat mysterious before, his actions have revealed his information.

That is to summon the little devil Crook.

He was careful not to let the imp discover his true form, and used a pre-reserved contract to leave some restrictions on him.

This gives a rough idea of ​​the village guardians' limits in handling matters, which is essentially the level of a minor demon.

So after learning that the village guards would be out in the wild, Nemus immediately gave the order to ambush them.

However, this is not the case for the old pastor and Op, because their actions have not yet been fully revealed.

Just like Nemus now, from the outside, he is just a Discipline Paladin who has lost his limit. Being able to fight against ordinary Ironborn is already his limit.

However, in reality, Nemus's strength exceeded these people's expectations.

In his brief burst of power, most of the steel-type creatures would fall into his hands.

“It’s still not enough.” Nemus thought of the old priest. The old priest had shown that he was a Steel Seer, but a Steel Seer had inexplicably gone into seclusion in this small village. Who knew if the old priest could pull out some trump cards?

“So, I still need to improve myself.” Nems wasn’t annoyed by his involvement in the complicated relationships of this small village; on the contrary, he felt excited.

All these anomalies indicate something. If I can grasp the key behind them, I might be able to quickly improve my status in the material world.

This might allow them to better build their own secret cult.

"Continue to purify the Holy Nail of Faith." Nemus no longer paid attention to the outside disturbances, but instead immersed his mind in the faith perspective brought by the divinity, carefully observing the faith, and using the precepts to assimilate the impure thoughts that existed within it.

Outside, Jacques stared with an extremely grim expression at the pieces of flesh covered in black hair scattered on the ground.

At this point, these black hairs had lost their vitality.

There was no need for a priest to treat them, because there were no survivors.

Isabella covered her mouth, her expression turning sorrowful.

For some reason, upon arriving in this area, amidst the stench of blood, she vaguely sensed something connected to her.

It sounded like a murmur, or perhaps a hallucination from a dream.

Isabella then realized that it was her dying wish.

When her grandfather passed away, he was no longer able to speak; he simply held her hand and looked at her.

Those increasingly faint breaths seemed to be repeating to her, telling her that she must take good care of herself in the future.

And now, she seemed to hear that panting again.

It was at this moment that Opp arrived with his men and immediately organized a blockade.

Jacques looked at the busy crowd, a burning anger rising within him.

thanks for your support.

Chapter 27 The Secret Life of Dartmenley

Gripping the hilt of his sword tightly, Jacques turned and charged to the side.

Isabella, sensing a certain emotion, reacted a beat too late. Normally, she would have been able to anticipate this and stop Jacques, but this time she was still a step too late.
