Devil's Bible

However, most of these enemies are after money and resources.

So often, things don't actually reach the point where it's a matter of life and death.

However, Poole was different; he had faith.

Just like Aro, who possessed convictions, he was often unable to communicate because of his convictions.

Poole was the same; he also had convictions, perhaps even more so than Arrow—it was faith.

“I’m useful!” Op immediately said, “I know a lot of information about Nair.”

"Once I die, those intelligence reports will be lost."

After confirming that his opponent was not so easy to stop, Op immediately switched to psychological warfare, hoping to make Poole hold back in the following battle and maintain his own safety.

At the same time, Opp also felt some regret.

He was ultimately not good at fighting, and he also had some problems with strategic planning.

He made many mistakes from the very beginning of this battle.

For example, he had a ring that solidified the force field spell 'Avoidance of Arrows', so he didn't need to immediately summon the Feather Serpent back.

Instead, they should have him help Aro quickly deal with the village guards, and then concentrate their own forces.

At the same time, from that point onward, I should have directly used high-power spell scrolls instead of saving them at this time.

As a result, because the Feather Serpent entangled Pull and the two swordsmen were also next to the enemy, his own scroll was not so useful and he was afraid of accidentally injuring his allies.

There are many more details like these in other places.

As long as I don't make those mistakes, the battle will be much easier now.

“But it’s not too late now.” As he backed away, he continued to draw Poole’s attention with his words, while gently lowering his hand so that his sleeve covered it.

“Nair’s family has actually been secretly collecting intelligence information about him.”

"And he even contacted me, hoping that I could add something to his food while taking some of his blood and hair."

“In addition, there is another very important piece of information, which is absolutely crucial for Niall.” Op said with conviction, and his tone didn’t seem feigned.

It did indeed attract some of Poole's attention.

“That is…” Op’s tone changed, and a scroll in his hand was unfurled and displayed in front of him.

As the voice faded, a large number of blinding white lightning bolts flashed.

Shaping spell - Lightning Strike!

This is one of the trump cards that Opp acquired from others in exchange for five whale skin ore scrolls.

Op turned his head and closed his eyes to keep the lightning from blinding him.

At the same time, continue retreating at a steady pace while preparing to cast a spell.

The Summoning system is also divided into many factions.

Ops favors Void Summoning and specific summons.

Void summoning is the release of spiritual energy, which pulsates and spreads at a specific frequency, penetrating deep into the darkness to sense and summon one's own 'summoned creature'.

This requires constantly coordinating one's own mental frequency to resonate with the summoned creature, and also requires paying a portion of one's mental energy as a toll to some unseen being before finally summoning it.

For example, the Feather Serpent is summoned in this way.

The specific summon is the previous Green Elf Embrace.

It limited the power of the green elves residing in the surrounding vegetation.

The summoning spell that Op is preparing now is also a specific summoning.

This time, the target was something on his body, and also the other creature most closely connected to him—the Nest Beast.

This thing came from the old pastor, but it has changed drastically due to different training methods.

The old priest enhanced his control over blood and his own power.

Op, on the other hand, amplifies its parasitic nature.

However, each time it is used, its ferocity increases, so Op doesn't like to use this guy.

But at this point, it seems we can't do without it either.

Just now, he sensed that a dormant nest beast had been activated once again.

This indicates that another of his subordinates was also critically injured and on the verge of death, forcing him to activate the symbiotic healing of the nest beast.

That Towns was stronger and more troublesome than he had imagined.

However, the next moment, Opp had to be thankful that he had made the right choice.

Because of the lightning, a huge figure emerged from a cloud of smoke created by the electric shock, tearing through the smoke with a wave of its arm.

Poole's body was charred black, but his already large height had increased even more, reaching about four meters.

“It’s very strong, but the power that Master bestowed upon me is not just whale transformation!!” Poole’s still trembling body quickly stabilized.

The pain was quickly transformed into power, filling the body.

The characteristic known as the essence of pain made pain a driving force for his further growth.

Poole's back throbbed, and then some bone spurs pierced through his skin and emerged, forming a dorsal fin similar to that of a whale, but with sharper protrusions.

His whale transformation, fueled by absolute faith in Nemus, marked another evolution!

They successfully acquired two additional characteristics derived from whale transformation—

Self-healing: The self-healing ability is further enhanced and solidified, and most bodily injuries can be repaired quickly.

Bone fins: Bone fins grow from the back of the fish, giving it the ability to slightly adjust its own weight, currently within ±10%.

"The power bestowed upon me by the master will allow me to grow stronger through suffering, and then sweep away all obstacles in my way!" After these words, his enormous body rapidly approached!

what! ! !

Chapter 50 Take action

Numerous black lines burst forth from Op's body, forming a black clump of threads that met the monster's charge.

The black lines writhed and, at the moment of impact, rapidly launched their tips, attempting to pierce Poole's body.

However, beneath the phloem, the strength of these black lines is still too weak.

However, these black lines quickly and cleverly began to drill into the orifices on Poole's body.

They wanted to penetrate his body through these places.

Poole, however, showed no alarm.

He calmly mobilized the power within his body—the water of the deep well.

This thing is the power of the village guardian system, but now Nemus has developed the power of whale transformation.

Before it turned into a whale, this thing had been providing the village guardians with strength and various resistances.

The villagers face various dangerous creatures on a daily basis, with nest beasts being one of the most frequent encounters.

Before he even became a formal village guardian, Poole dared to wear leather gloves and torture the hive beasts.

Now that the deep well water within his body has been fully developed, his body is now like that deep well.

A floating yet chilling aura emanated from within his body.

The Black Line, which was about to burrow in, seemed to have encountered a natural enemy and immediately turned around and retreated.

This is the most important power of deep well water – resistance.

Previously, whether it was cetacean disease or dangerous creatures like nest beasts, their direct attack power was not strong; what was strong was their troublesome ability to infect.

Whale-like diseases can infect others through whale calls, and nest beasts can use black fur as embryos to parasitize others.

That's where the danger lies.

The fact that deep well water can withstand these dangers and then provide a not-so-weak stat is enough to explain why the village-guarding system is prevalent in various places.

However, Op's goal was not to solve the problem by parasitizing Pull with the Nest Beast. He lacked strategic thinking in battle, but he was still relatively clear-headed.

Naturally, the fact that Poole was a reserve village guard could not be ignored.

He summoned the nest beast for another purpose—

Some dark figures climbed up from the ground and rushed straight towards Poole.

After the battle began, Opp kept retreating to adjust his position.

At this moment, he was already standing in the middle of a crowd of people.

Previously, his subordinates had shot and killed many villagers with arrows. These villagers, who had come out to search with the village guards, became tools controlled by the nest beast after their deaths.

The nest beast's threads penetrate deep into the muscles of these corpses, controlling their movements through stimulation and pulling.

Furthermore, these Necromancer Black Lines, after being cultivated by Op, can enhance, heal, control the brain, and bestow a unique set of perceptions upon the host after parasitizing a human.

Poole swung his fist at the parasites, but apart from a few that were too slow to be hit, most of the parasites were able to dodge in advance and avoid Poole's fist.

Poole blinked his whale-like eyes and quickly locked onto the tiny black hairs on the surface of these parasites.

These fine hairs are extremely sensitive to airflow and the scents emitted by other organisms, enabling them to quickly detect approaching danger and then prompt the parasite to take action.

"I see. Perhaps that's why Towns hasn't been able to secure the win yet?" Poole guessed.

that's the truth.

Towns is facing four enemies, all of whom are agile.

Not to mention the two halflings, the same was true for the two desperate men from before.

As Towns punched another man in the chest, the Nest Beast activated and repaired him. Their senses became exceptionally sharp, and the four of them worked together to make almost all of Towns' attacks miss.

In comparison, Towns lacked the ruthlessness of the village guards and the talent of Poole.

All he possessed was the power of the demons and—a strong desire for revenge.

Although Towns wasn't actually injured by the repeated attacks, the pain he felt was real.

He simply gritted his teeth and endured it.

At that moment, he felt extremely uncomfortable all over, and he even had the thought of running away immediately more than once.

However, those thoughts were quickly dismissed.

On the one hand, it's because deep in Towns' heart, the figure of Nemes exists; he feels fear, admiration, and respect for Nemes.

As long as Nemus exists, he would not dare to disobey Nemus's orders.

On the other hand, it was for revenge.

"Aaaaaah, is it done yet, Kurog!" Downs cried out in his mind as he asked Kurog.

"Just bear with it a little longer. The pain is being transmitted remotely, and the reduction in pain is too great."

"We still need to accumulate some..."

“And I can already sense that the master is approaching. You don’t want to lose face in front of him, do you?” Kurog said afterward.

These words made Towns shudder; the fear in his heart overwhelmed his fear of physical pain.

Towns immediately gritted his teeth and endured it, while glancing around at the four people. In his mind, he imagined how he would turn the tide and crush them all.

After being attacked a few more times.

Kulog's "Okay" became the key to unleashing Towns' flood of desires.

The next moment, Towns' eyes turned red, and without any hesitation, he rushed toward the person whose neck he had previously crushed.

The man immediately sensed the attack and quickly retreated to avoid it. At the same time, the other three men, positioned in different directions, launched a coordinated attack to interrupt Downs' pursuit.

However, at that moment, a black aura suddenly spread from Towns' body to the surroundings.

A halfling who got too close immediately felt an unbearable pain, and its originally agile movements went out of control.

Towns grinned maliciously, turned around, and kicked the halfling straight at the head.

Upon seeing this, the other half-man immediately pounced on him and grabbed Towns's leg from the side.

It acted as a human buffer, preventing the kick from directly smashing the head of the halfling when it landed on him.
