Devil's Bible

“…Then, as Mr. Inner says, let this lowly commoner be exonerated.” Op was momentarily stunned, and after a while, he replied, not caring at all about this kind of lowly commoner.

What he didn't know was that as soon as he said those words, a piece of information flashed through Nemus's mind.

The precepts have been updated.

[Identity 2: Paladin Nair]

[Main Law: Forgiveness—You pardon the mistakes of others and forgive their sins]

[Discipline Feedback: Every time you forgive someone, you will receive a portion of their life bonus.]

At this moment, a certain power also seemed to emanate from Downs and fall upon Nems, making Nems' life force even more vigorous.

This boost isn't a form of exploitation; it's a benefit that will continue to be provided as long as Towns exists.

After casually dealing with Towns' problem, Nems and Op went to a corner of the sheepfold.

At this moment, a hole has been cut in the sheepfold fence, and the cut is very clean, which shows the strength of the vandal and the sharpness of the weapon.

On the grass outside the sheepfold, a splash of blood stood out prominently, along with numerous drag marks.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that a 'demon' had broken through the fence, grabbed a sheep, and dragged it away.

The damaged fence was in a rather remote location. If Towns hadn't been so familiar with the number of sheep, and if the village guards hadn't vaguely heard shouts the night before, prompting Op to patrol the sheepfold, they probably wouldn't have discovered the hole so easily.

He then asked, "Mr. Nair, was this the work of a demon?"

"Hmm, a fairly clear demonic scent. It's probably an unexpected little demon." Nemus made a professional assessment: "No one knows demons better than me, so it's not a big problem."

When it comes to demons, no one is more professional than him.

The Abyss of Hell is a lower dimension. In the lower dimension, demons possess physical forms, but those forms become formless and intangible when they come to the material plane, because demons do not possess actual matter.

Therefore, in order to remain in the material plane for a long time, demons need to absorb matter in various ways to anchor themselves.

The demon statues that Nemus previously used were anchors, using the image of demons in popular perception to maintain their own existence.

This little devil doesn't have that skill, so it's highly likely that it has corrupted and taken over the beast's body.

However, due to the conflict between its demonic nature and its beastly body, it needs to consume large quantities of other animals to alleviate this conflict.

Only a little devil with a muddled mind who unexpectedly gains the opportunity to enter the material plane would do something so awful.

However, imps happen to be the most numerous group among demons, which is why the negative stereotype that demons are mindless is so persistent.

"So, you'll leave the rest to me?" Nems asked Op.

“Since it’s a minor demon, I believe Mr. Nair can handle it.” Op nodded and then said, “I’ll have to trouble Mr. Nair this time. Resolve the demon problem as soon as possible, and I will donate enough tokens to the church afterwards.”

What Op was unaware of was that, with the moment he finished speaking, a simple contract was formed through verbal agreement.

The shamanic vows of Nemus's demonic identity require sufficient covenant oaths to continuously strengthen the artifacts he forges.

A smile appeared on Nemus's lips as he watched Op leave.

It all felt like a mess made by an ignorant little devil, and the scene reeked of evil.

But as he said, no one understands the devil better than him.

The demonic auras we see now, though pure, are not ferocious enough. A real demon wouldn't just steal a single sheep.

Even if it were a little devil, the sheep pen, including the Towns around it, should have been torn to pieces!

This demonic incident was by no means an accident.

Please read it carefully, it's very important for the new book, thank you!

Chapter 3 A Once-in-a-Lifetime Perfect Wave

"But no matter what, we still need to catch that little devil first in order to find out who's causing trouble in this village!" Nemus carefully sensed his body's condition and then made an assessment.

"This body is only of the Black Stone type. Although Nair maintains his exercise routine, he still smokes and drinks, and his body and mind are both injured. He has not reached the limit of the Black Stone type. According to the value of a normal Black Stone type being one and the limit being ten, this body, even with the breathing technique and the life enhancement just now, only reaches a value of eight."

"The little devil only needs to adapt to the physical body slightly to directly reach the limit of the Black Stone Seed, and will possess the extraordinary characteristic of immortality in advance, and will not be harmed by ordinary weapons."

"Of course I can also strengthen my body with demonic power, but that would expose me. My current Paladin Breathing Technique can harm the opponent, but killing them would require too much of my life force, which is not worth it."

"Furthermore, demons are excellent henchmen; we can't afford to waste them..."

A series of thoughts flashed through Naim's mind, and then he had an idea.

He glanced at Towns, who was standing to the side with his head down, pondering how to repair the sheepfold.

Towns originally lived near the sheepfold, and now Naim's excellent eyesight allowed him to easily see the other's residence and the remaining sheep huddled together inside the sheepfold. The situation inside gave him a general idea of ​​Towns' personality.

Beneath his dutiful shepherd persona lies a restless heart.

He was a person who was tempted by the 'devil'.

“Downs, right? You want to make a change, gain power, and become someone important?” Nemes said directly. There was no need for beating around the bush with people trapped in small villages; they might not understand anyway.

"I...can I?" Downs looked up at Nemus and saw himself reflected in Nemus's eyes once again, so humble and so weak.

“I’m just a lowly commoner, a shepherd, how could I…”

Towns simply lacked the confidence to do anything well except herd sheep; his inner darkness confined him to the sheepfold area.

Until now, a ray of light pierced through the darkness.

“Of course!” Nems’s firm tone made Downs feel his blood start to boil.

"Towns, what you need to know is that the most terrifying thing in life is not mediocrity, but accepting your own mediocrity."

"A monotonous life, day after day, will wear everything down."

“Now is an opportunity.” Nemus’s words had a seductive power: “Assist me in resolving the demon incident, and you will gain power, and your status will be completely transformed!”

"You will break free from the cage of mediocrity and become a completely new person."

"So you're willing to obey my orders in exchange for this opportunity?"

In the daily grind of life on Earth, Nemus felt an unprecedented anxiety, as everything about him was being worn down by a curse called ordinariness.

When the miracle of time travel happened to him, he was overjoyed, knowing that what he had been waiting for had finally arrived.

Everything he did was in preparation for that once-in-a-lifetime perfect wave to crash in, and then to ride it and reach the pinnacle!

Even falling into the abyss did not change this idea.

That powerful force emanating from within infected Downs, leaving him speechless, his mind completely occupied by Nems' words.

Confined by his status as an outcast, and believing he would be a shepherd for life, he learned the meaning of life for the first time.

His whole body trembled slightly with excitement.

"I am willing!"

As Downs answered, Nemus's demonic power shifted slightly, and a new contract was formed.

Dealing with people who don't understand demonic knowledge is so easy; a few words are all it takes to get them to blurt out the contract.

"Very good, you just wait here in the sheepfold. I'll be back here tonight, and I'll tell you what to do then. When you hear my voice, you must do as I say immediately, understand?!"

"Understood!" Towns nodded vigorously, and the muttony smell on his body seemed to have faded considerably.

After making this arrangement, Nemus turned around and returned to his residence, ate a meager lunch, and then completed the secondary law inherent to Nemus's identity, maintaining the enhanced power of his swordsmanship.

It was dusk.

Although demons are not afraid of the sun, they are basically nocturnal.

It is only because people are more vulnerable at night, and all sorts of wicked desires emerge, that the devil's actions are greatly facilitated.

That little devil ate a sheep last night, so it must be hiding its presence during the day and digesting it in secret.

Nemes had no intention of looking for rats in the gutter.

Now, as the sun gradually sets and night is about to fall, that little devil is already stirring, his desires overflowing uncontrollably.

In Nems' eyes, it was as clear as a bonfire party in the dark.

"This demon was most likely summoned by someone." Nemus walked unhurriedly in the darkness. The night did not hinder him, and the torch in his hand was more of a disguise for his night vision.

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark figure lunged out from the shadows.

Nemus raised his knight's sword, clashing with the dark figure, sparks flying in the night, like metal clashing.

In Nems' eyes, the dark shadow was a pitch-black rat, as big as a large dog.

Its entire body exuded a black aura, as if it were smoking, and the demonic aura was particularly obvious.

The rat demon missed its target and quickly darted to the side, then a dark, gooey thing was flung at it.

Nems could see clearly that it was the large, flesh-colored tail of the segment, which swung with lightning speed.

However, although Nair is an awkward person, his own strength is still quite sufficient.

Nemes dodged the attack by sidestepping, then maintained his breathing. The unique breathing technique passed down from the church slightly stimulated his body, and a spark of inspiration burst forth from within him.

With a single upward slash, the demon's body, which was originally as hard as metal, and its rat tail, which was as strong as iron chains, softened under the spiritual light.

The blade sliced ​​across the tail, and some black blood dripped down.

Although the large tail was not completely severed, it was no longer flexible, with only a little skin and flesh remaining, drooping at the base of the tail.

The pain fueled the demon's ferocity; it opened its mouth wide and let out a low growl.

"Alright, don't force me to kill you. Can we talk now?" Nemus said, ignoring the demon's roar, while releasing a hint of greedy desire from his body.

During this crucial period for the new book, your continued reading is especially important. Thank you all for staying tuned.

Chapter 4 Harm

"Demon language?" The rat demon's anger vanished in an instant, replaced by an equal amount of greed.

"Your fluency in demon language is not that of a paladin!"

In the material plane, some villages and towns are often garrisoned by two to five clergy.

Priests need to master certain divine spells, while paladins need to master the Holy Breathing Technique, which allows them to draw upon their life force to kill demons at any time.

These clergy members need to have a certain knowledge and understanding of demons. Demon language is an elective course, so it's not normal for people from such a small place to be so fluent in demon language.

“People always need to be prepared, otherwise how can they succeed?” Nemus gave this reason, and then went straight to the point: “Let’s sign a contract, demon.”

"I know a way to free you from your current physical form and allow you to exist permanently in the material plane."

"I will help you get out of your current state, and in return, you need to lend me your own strength to do some things for me!"

Nemus revealed his 'purpose'; he knew all too well the cognitive circuits of these little devils.

They have brains, but not many.

"Hehehe...Looks like he's an ambitious person!" The rat demon chuckled, then spat out a mouthful of black blood.

The blood emitted black smoke, and then the power of the abyss was activated, and a demonic contract containing the power of the abyss appeared before the two of them.

The Little Devil's only Abyss Authority—the Demon Contract.

He can use his demonic identity to involve a portion of the power of the abyss in binding the contract.

Subsequently, the black blood that the rat demon had spat out earlier formed demonic characters and landed on the contract.

"Come, ambitious paladin, sign your name!"

Nemus took the contract, his fingers tracing the paper's texture—ordinary demon parchment. As for the terms, he glanced at them and immediately recognized the several major pitfalls within.

“I think some changes are needed, as this does not conform to the principle of unified rights and responsibilities in the terms.” Nemus grasped the contract, activated it with his mind, and the terms on the contract began to change.

This is the basic manifestation of the power of the abyss, ensuring that even ordinary people who do not recognize demonic script can understand the contents of the contract when they hold it, and providing the power to easily modify it.

Of course, this power of written language is limited to demonic script.

The rat demon was taken aback when he saw the changing contract. Why did this paladin seem more professional than him?

Their gazes were involuntarily drawn to the contract.

[Term One: Niall Dartmenley will provide a method for demons to permanently reside in the material plane, and will assist the demons (—) in accomplishing this method.]

[Clause Two: The demon must cooperate with Nel, try to avoid attracting attention, and maintain secrecy.]

[Clause Three: After the method is completed, Niel must ensure that he does not harm the demon and that the method remains effective.]

[Clause Four: After the method is completed, the demon must provide assistance when Niel needs demonic power.]
