Devil's Bible

In this process, Nemus made some references to the Church's disciplined paladins.

After all, there are some similarities between the two.

Disciplined Paladins are holy nails formed from faith, which, together with the discipline, nail the life essence of the Paladin.

The accessories for the rampage are themselves a condensation of soul and life force, and also contain the power of faith.

"So... it should be a similar effect!" Nemus thought to himself.

Then we saw the berserk parts merge into Phos's body, with the shared faith acting as a medium in the process.

Just like when Nemus became a Discipline Paladin, the medium at that time was Discipline.

Under the influence of the same source, the berserk accessories began to integrate into Phos's body.

However, it was not Phos's body that reacted first, but his mental state.

Within the berserk accessories, the restless mental fluctuations rapidly mobilized Phos's mental state through the connection.

Nemus could sense that Phos's mental potential was being rapidly developed.

Like the side of life.

Meditation is also a method to gradually develop one's own spiritual potential. Generally, when people reach a value of seven, eight or nine points, they will stagnate.

"So the Berserk accessory is actually a Holy Nail on the mental side?" Nemus watched as Phos struggled painfully on the operating table, and immediately controlled the Oath Rope to restrain him and limit the strength of the Berserk accessory.

Otherwise, if this continues, Phos might be driven mad by his restless spirit.

"My mental strength has increased to three. Sure enough, the crooked path is fast."

"But his mental fluctuations seem to have become particularly agitated as a result. This kind of mental energy is not suitable for spellcasting." Nemus frowned. Spellcasting requires mental stability.

An unstable and restless spirit is actually less effective in combat than a life force with the same value of three.

Chapter 113 Alchemical Armguards

Compared to life, the spirit has no substantial form.

Therefore, the value of mental energy cannot be released through conventional means.

If you unleash all your mental energy to attack others, the conversion rate of the numerical value will be less than 10%.

For example, if a mage's current mental power value is three, and he releases all his mental power to attack the target, the final damage will only be 0.3.

An average person with a power value of one can achieve a punch that is approximately 0.7 to 0.8 in force, provided they learn how to generate power.

"So what is this restless mental energy suitable for linking to?" Nemus pondered.

He doesn't believe that restless mental energy is useless; often, something is considered useless simply because it hasn't been placed in the right position.

I still have to go down the path of a spellcaster.

In order for a spellcaster to achieve its intended effect, they need to mentally connect with other things.

“Summoning? Not suitable. This level of mental power would immediately dissipate due to excessive error once it enters the void.”

"Alchemy? That's even less suitable, as alchemy requires precision."

“Holy magic? That won’t work either. These kinds of spells require stability, the purity of faith…wait a minute.” Nemus suddenly thought of something.

Nems then checked Phos's mental state once again.

"Holy magic is indeed ineffective; its purity stems from the agitation of the mind."

“But there is one type of spell that is very suitable!” Nemus looked beyond the Church of Discipline and then thought of another field—the Berserk pantheon.

The Berserker pantheon is a group of righteous gods whose main elements are natural or savage imagery such as wilderness and disasters.

They demand that believers be afraid, and that fear be transformed into faith.

Therefore, their clergy are not of pure faith, but they are still able to cast berserk spells and divine magic.

"Although I do not possess such divine arts, I can use this principle as a basis for development."

"After all, many people believe that the Berserker faction is the pantheon closest to the abyss."

“Furthermore, individuals equipped with berserk accessories have a major advantage: they can unleash divine magic at any time!” Nemus immediately recognized the value of this.

Blackrock priests, when performing divine magic in small villages like Dorsal Fin Village, need to borrow the faith accumulated in the church.

In densely populated areas like Baiwei Town, with its large churches, one only needs to sense the grid to cast divine spells.

However, regardless of the circumstances, priests need the support of external faith to cast divine spells; otherwise, they can only use magic.

The Rampage accessory is different; this thing is essentially a 'mobile chapel'.

Because the connection is established through the recipient's own beliefs, the Berserk accessories can store those beliefs to a certain extent.

Therefore, the user can cast a certain number of divine spells anytime, anywhere!

“The true gods should all possess this technology, but they have restricted it,” Nemus realized.

For the gods, the stronger the believers, the better.

Because the scope of the gods' control is too vast, if too much authority is granted, problems can easily arise, and the gods will not be able to control them in time.

"So today's priests are most likely products of castration."

“But I’m not like those powerful gods with vast resources. I don’t need to be so particular in the early stages of starting a business.” After confirming the value of the berserk accessories, Nemus began to think about how to create matching spells and divine arts.

As a demon of a different species, Nemus has mastered some spell-like abilities.

However, the fact that it resembles a spell means that this kind of spell is more of an instinctive act than something learned through knowledge.

Those magicians also spent many years learning and transforming the demonic spells into magic that they could learn.

"Sure enough, we still need to develop further." Nemes tried to figure it out and found that there were significant problems.

Converting demonic spells into magic and divine spells is not so easy.

At this moment, Nemus thought of the mastermind behind the Floating World Society.

If the opponent is a demon warlock, then they must possess a vast amount of magic.

If we could capture them and add them to our collection, then developing the Berserk series of spells and divine arts probably wouldn't be so difficult.

"Then let's leave it at that for now." Nemus slowly withdrew his attention, informed Becky of Phos's situation, and asked Becky to find a way to improve Phos's combat power.

Becky was also very interested in Phos's transformation, and then thought of a type of tool used in alchemy.

Alchemists are actually not very good at fighting; they are better at creating than fighting.

However, in order to ensure their own safety, they often need to fight.

Therefore, some alchemists would choose to create items to ensure their combat effectiveness.

One type of device possesses considerable power, but it requires constant mental connection to function.

Because it severely depletes an alchemist's mental energy and increases their burden, and because its use is limited, only some alchemists who live alone are forced to use it.

"Alchemy arm guards." Becky took out a box, rummaged through it for a while, and found one of her own stock.

"This thing needs to be worn on the hand for a long time. There are three compartments on the arm guard, which contain some small steel balls."

"We can use these steel balls to form a protective star system, and the resonance between the steel balls can create a protective force field."

"It can also launch steel balls to damage the enemy."

"The numerical power can reach around five."

“However, according to you, Phos’s mental energy is rather restless, so he probably wouldn’t be able to control the steel ball precisely.”

"We can only release them all at once."

Becky said with a hint of regret.

Nemus was taken aback. Wasn't this just an alchemical version of a gun?

So it seems that it's enough for now.

While mental energy cannot be used to cast spells, the alchemical gun is sufficient.

It should be enough to sustain him until he creates the Berserk series of spells.

"Continue to observe the changes in Phos's body, study the stability of the berserk accessories, and upgrade them further." Nemus entrusted this task to Becky, though he himself would also take the time to observe as well.

“However, in that case, we’ll have to manipulate things a bit more,” Nems thought to himself.

The original plan was to have a few trainee paladins find something out, then determine that the problem wasn't serious, thus buying time.

However, the Phos that has now entered the game has become a relatively important experimental subject.

Therefore, we cannot let things develop freely, otherwise things may get out of control.

"It seems we can make some arrangements to further unleash his potential," Nemus gradually came up with an idea.

The South District is too crowded and chaotic, filled with various forces and a lot of true and false information, making it difficult to distinguish between them. Every year, many people are scammed.

"Then perhaps we can use Fass to run an advertisement."

"Making a big fuss about it a bit won't be a big problem."

Chapter 114 Report

After Phos woke up, he received the alchemical bracers and felt the power flowing through his arms.

Of course, before that, he needs to get used to releasing his mental energy.

This still requires practice. His mental strength has suddenly increased several times. If he doesn't adapt and practice, his already restless mental strength will only become more and more dangerous.

"You never know when you might blow your brain up if you're not careful," Becky said, temporarily taking on the role of teacher.

He guided Phos on how to guide the changes in his spiritual power.

Phos's condition is similar to being cursed.

Some sorcerers of pain use curses to inflict pain and madness on others, causing their mental energy to go berserk and thus harming themselves.

“That’s why you need to be calmer all the more.” Becky took out a small ball and placed it in front of Phos, letting him practice controlling it.

Although Phos desperately wanted to save his family, he also understood that if he couldn't even control the power he had, rushing over now would be futile.

"Fos, don't worry, I'll go help you save them." At this point, Booker no longer regarded Fos as his little brother.

He keenly sensed that Fass was important in the fabricated agreement.

After all, he himself was only given physical strength, while Phos was given spiritual strength.

In terms of productive capacity, the spiritual side is far more noble than the physical side.

Furthermore, the importance attached to Phos can be seen from some details.

In that case, I need to pay even more attention to this matter.

"People are prone to taking their anger out on others." Booker was well aware of this. When bad things happen, people instinctively shift blame to themselves and then magnify the faults of others.

For example, in this case, the reason why Booker gathered people in the Rope Gang's territory was the cause.

Although it was Phos's own decision to gather around and ultimately leave with Booker.

He didn't consider his family when making the decision, and then desperately sought help after his family members were arrested.

But when a person is in a state of displaced anger, they cannot see this point; they will only think that Booker is the origin of everything and that Booker is responsible for their situation.

"So we still have to go and rescue them, and we have to do it as soon as possible!" After asking about the physical characteristics of the Fass family, Booker said goodbye and immediately set to work.

He didn't even go back to the warehouse; instead, he went straight to the Rope Gang's location.

At this moment, Becky expanded the seal's capacity, and the demonic power within his body increased several times over.

Not only did the duration increase, but the physical enhancements gained under this temporary power also increased.

Now, he is fully confident that he can take on the entire Rope Gang single-handedly.

"However, this time we're going to rescue people, so we still need to prioritize the safety of the hostages." Booker had also thought of this, which is why he acted alone.

Most of the newly recruited members are ordinary people who can cheer and shout, but they are not very useful.

Booker quickly arrived at the Rope Gang's headquarters, which was really just a run-down tavern next to Seventh Street.

There are many similar taverns throughout the South District.

For many workers, after a hard day's work, only a beer here can soothe their weary souls.
