Devil's Bible

Chapter 153 One Sword

Previously, Dartmanley confirmed with Nems that Nems would only be an obstacle to the family and would not be loyal to it when White-tailed Fox joined forces with Nems.

Each generation of Dartmenti patriarchs has been able to establish a connection with this thing, using it as a guarantee for their own and their family's progress.

Once the head of the household completes the connection, this thing can use this momentum to move forward quickly.

However, at this moment, Dartmenli stopped and did not continue to activate the Holy Path.

He stood up unsteadily.

"No, the family's accumulated strength is insufficient to move forward; we cannot waste it here." Dartmenley suppressed his feelings of shame at this moment.

Although he was kicked away, he still had the upper hand.

Nemus could only pull off some minor tricks, which were hardly fatal. He had just suffered a loss because it was his first time encountering such a situation.

However, as long as the fight continues, with the superior stamina brought by the numerical advantage, I will surely win.

Shame and conviction spurred Dartmenley to quickly break free from his years of inexperience.

As the head of the family, he had received the best training and he was not lacking in conviction.

"If it weren't for my father's sudden death, the family's sacred path would have been greatly weakened by the unknown events that drained too much of its power, adding numerous obstacles."

"I might still be able to advance to the Gold Rank!"

Being chosen as the family heir from a young age, Dartmanley naturally possesses extraordinary talent.

In a sense, his family was both his strength and his weakness.

He received strong support from his family and entered the steel industry at a young age.

However, when his value reached seventy, because of the connection to the Holy Path, the Holy Path no longer provided any assistance, but was instead full of obstacles.

These obstacles also affected him, which is why, despite cultivating for so many years, his score has only just reached ninety-three.

Furthermore, due to the numerous obstacles, he was essentially disqualified from being promoted to the Gold rank.

Over the years, the family has worked hard to develop and accumulate some resources, but those obstacles have not disappeared.

He could certainly use these aids to defeat Nemus at this time, but even if he refined the Golden Elixir, it probably wouldn't be able to help him ascend to the Golden Seed.

He needs to accumulate enough support to briefly break through obstacles during his promotion and qualify himself for advancement.

"Unfortunately, due to obstacles in recent years, the talent of the family members has not been high." Normally, even if it is difficult for a descendant of a saintly family to produce a golden seed, it should not be that they cannot even produce a seed with the relevant qualifications through bloodline experimentation.

Dartmanley was well aware of this, but he didn't care.

His belief was that his family would prosper.

“Even without the power of the Holy Path, I might still be able to defeat Nair!” Datmenli looked at Naimus, but his eyes began to flicker, and his killing intent diminished.

“Nair,” he suddenly said, “Perhaps the family was wrong before, and I was too arrogant.”

“I also want to reiterate the family’s sincerity.” Dartmanley’s expression was extremely serious: “Nair, as long as you return to the family, I, in the name of the head of the Dartmanley family, guarantee that we will use all the family’s resources to help you ascend to the Golden Throne.”

As soon as these words were spoken, everything around them trembled slightly, as if echoing them.

This is practically equivalent to making a vow. Even without a contract or anything like that, as long as Nemus agrees, the Dartmenley family will definitely do everything in their power to nurture Nemus, just as he said.

"If you harbor resentment towards me or the family, you may kill me, or anyone involved in those events back then, or even eliminate all those in the family who you cannot stand after you ascend to the Golden Throne."

"But as long as you can inherit the name of Dartmenley, I will give you everything!"

"Master!!" Upon hearing this, some of the onlookers couldn't help but cry out. The condition Datmenley had offered was simply too much.

They devoted themselves to their family, but now they are being sacrificed and discarded?

"Shut up!" Datmenley said without even looking at the family members. "Nair, believe it or not, Ron did what he did back then voluntarily."

"If he can sacrifice for his family, then they can too."

"Me too!"

Dartmanley looked at Nemes, waiting for his answer.

“At this moment, the head of the Dartmenley family is probably not joking.” Nems was not swayed by this.

If Naims might have been tempted six months ago, by now he has realized the problems behind it.

The name Dartmanley is more than just a family honor.

From the moment the Holy Path was activated, one could vaguely sense something.

Over the years, Nemus found himself consistently finding himself having an exceptionally smooth run when fighting Dartmenley.

A closer examination of the Dartmanley family reveals a recurring 'habit' of failing at crucial moments.

Although they all seem perfectly reasonable, such as a bad family atmosphere or arrogance of the person involved.

However, this kind of thing happens far too often.

This seems to be a problem.

There may be fools and bad people in the Dartmenley family, but a family of saints cannot be full of such fools who still don't learn their lesson after being beaten so many times.

Then it can be basically determined that there may be some problems with the bloodline or something else in this family.

As Nemus learns more about fate, he discovers that the problems involved may become increasingly significant.

Therefore, wise people do not fall into traps.

Having received a definite answer from Nemes, Dartmanley, though knowing Nemes wasn't the type to surrender easily, couldn't help but feel disappointed.

“What a pity…” Dartmanley looked at Nems, then said seriously, “Then let’s make it our last move.”

Dartmanley realized that whether he played it safe or used his special abilities to attack aggressively, as long as he could drag things out, Nemus would inevitably find an opportunity.

You can't fight a protracted war with this kind of person; instead, you have to seize the opportunity and crush him in one fell swoop.

Having confirmed that Nemes could not return to the family, Dartmenley gathered all his energy.

He slowly raised the sword in his hand, and on the sword, the complete sacred text was lighting up word by word.

And if one is familiar with sacred writing, then one will surely know that this sentence is—

"May you grant me the strength to overcome obstacles and continue my journey!"

The moment the sword lit up, Nemus simultaneously swung it.

Secret Sword: Rising with the Wind.

The sword and the wind merged, and with each instant, power rapidly increased within them.

The witnesses around them, as well as the members of the Dartmanley family in the distance, all held their breath and stared intently at the scene.
