Devil's Bible

Chapter 114 Report (15th of 20 chapters released)

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.

This is why there are bars of all sizes in various parts of the South District; you can find one almost every other street.

Booker took advantage of the darkness to try to control his movements.

He had experience as a thief, so this kind of infiltration was not difficult for him.

And to avoid making mistakes, he even activated his demonic power. This power made him agile, allowing him to easily traverse obstacles without causing a disturbance.

Soon, Booker slipped into the tavern.

Clearly, the Rope Gang made a big mistake.

They knew that Fass's family was important, so they arranged for people to look after them.

But these people know even better the importance of clergy.

Thus, a few individuals with some skill points within the Hemp Rope Gang were now surrounding and protecting the clergy.

Like lackeys, even late at night, they still wait outside. At the clergy's call, they immediately rush forward, eager to serve them.

Therefore, the people guarding the Fass family in the back room of the tavern were mostly ordinary gang members.

After all, they hadn't expected that Fass and Booker would be so bold as to come and rescue people that very night.

These gang members were arrogant when they bullied ordinary people, but when faced with Booker, who now possessed demonic power, they were like lambs, powerless to resist.

Booker dealt with the guards without much effort, took away Phos's family, and didn't even cause a commotion.

Not far from the tavern, in the inn, Gabriel sensed something was amiss.

I was immediately jolted awake from my light sleep.

"There's some noise at the tavern!" Gabriel immediately got up, and after pushing open the door, he saw the leader and elders of the Rope Gang running over.

At this point, Gabriel realized that they were still too arrogant.

Phos's family were poor, their clothes were rotten and smelly, and Gabriel himself did not want to get involved in kidnapping the target's family and threatening their reputation.

Therefore, the Fass family was not taken to a hotel for accommodation.

This arrogance, ingrained in their very being, may be the reason for their defeat.

"Go call for help, something's wrong at the tavern." Gabriel couldn't care less at this moment. He intensified his breathing technique and immediately sensed the demonic scent.

The leaders and elders of the Hemp Rope Gang were also shocked and immediately rushed back to the tavern, where they found their subordinates lying on the ground and the room completely empty.

By this time, Booker had been running with the Fass family for a while.

Brent and Galen also woke up from their sleep and immediately knew that someone had come to rescue them. They immediately searched everywhere with Gabriel.

However, they were a little too late. The demonic aura was fading, and they could no longer pinpoint which way their target had fled. The southern district was too interconnected.

In addition, it is nighttime now, so conventional tracking methods are unlikely to be effective.

As Gabriel chased after him, regretting his carelessness, he suddenly noticed someone running towards him.

Gabriel immediately became alert.

In the dead of night, apart from the oil lamp in my hand and the dim stars, there was no other light. At this time, any encounter or battle was dangerous.

The person who ran over seemed to have seen a savior and ran towards him.

That person was Al, who had quietly slipped out of the warehouse while everyone else was asleep.

"My Lord Paladin, I have something to report!"

Gabriel narrowed his eyes.
