Devil's Bible

Chapter 162 Black Mask

Nemus then carefully perceived the changes in Phos's mind.

The focus is more on the interaction between Soul Accessories and Berserk Accessories.

In Nemus's eyes, the Soul Accessory is like a '0', while the Berserk Accessory is like a '1'.

Their existence is treating the spirit of Phos in different ways.

The soul component will absorb it and then stabilize it.

The rampage accessory becomes a stimulating iron rod, providing mental stimulation.

Normally, these two work together to keep Phos's mind stable.

But now, Phos's mental state has become much more elevated.

This adds a variable between zero and one.

Thus, the originally stable mental state began to rapidly shift, turning into a 'vortex'.

"Now we need to see how resilient Phos is."

"If he is resilient enough, then perhaps he can achieve balance under dynamic conditions and truly break through his own limitations."

At this moment, Nemus began to understand the old pastor's state back then.

Like a saint, the power of the gods is not insignificant.

As long as one has sufficient faith, one can obtain enough divine power at any time.

But does God not wish to have enough saints?

No, a saint can greatly expand God's church.

Saints are God's representatives on earth, and their propagation of church doctrine is unparalleled by others.

There is only one real reason: many people are simply not worthy.

"Divine power is a power that surpasses the limits that humans can withstand, so it requires the human soul to be pure to the extreme."

"Now, with the Soul Accessory and the Berserk Accessory working together, they have formed an extreme power that the Black Stone species cannot withstand. Although Phos does not need to have a pure soul like a saint, he absolutely cannot lack the necessary beliefs."

"Otherwise, once the soul loses its faith, it will lose its resilience."

At that moment, Phos didn't know much; all he knew was that he would never die in obscurity.

A large amount of black energy overflowed from his body and then became the tentacles of his senses.

All his senses were focused into a single thread, and then he observed the person who attacked him for the first time.

It was a guy wearing a priest's white robe, but with a black mask on his face.

Seven or eight white orbs of light were flying around him at that moment.

These orbs of light exhibit a strong energy reaction.

Phos then saw one of the orbs of light suddenly shoot out a beam of light.

This light is almost invisible during the day, nearly blending in with everyday light.

If it weren't for the fact that some light was a bit too bright, a normal person probably wouldn't have been able to detect where the attack came from.

The attack landed in the blink of an eye, instantly shattering the black tentacles of energy that Phos had extended from the pit.

"That attack was extremely fast and incredibly powerful, but it couldn't directly damage ordinary matter," Phos noticed the problem.

The previous attack should have been able to penetrate the black mist and create a large crater in the ground.

After all, the initial attack shattered its own shield when it landed, generating tremendous kinetic energy.

However, this attack only pierced through the black mist, and when it landed on the soil, it was no different from ordinary light.

"It seems that the opponent's attack needs to collide with other forces to generate powerful force," Phos conjectured. With this deduction in mind, Phos immediately devised a battle plan.

Black smoke spread, and then a large handful of soil flew up from the bottom of the pit.

The scattered soil blocked out the sun, obstructing the view.

A dark shadow flashed past from behind the soil.

However, this did not affect the opponent's attack.

The orb of light beside the black-masked priest flashed by, followed by a burst of light that merged into the normal light.

The shadowy figure was hit accurately, but no problems occurred.

Phos, beneath the crater, looked at his robes that had been thrown out and struck, confirmed that they were mostly intact, and then extended his black aura perception into the soil that had been there.

They found some small pieces of minced meat in the soil.

"It has no effect on non-living matter, but it is very effective on living things." Among the soil that Phos threw up, there were some small creatures such as earthworms and beetles.

This further confirms the nature of the Black Mask's attack—it does not cause damage to inanimate objects or those without strong energy responses.

"And it has a certain degree of penetrability; loose soil and clothing cannot form a defense." There was quite a bit of soil that flew up just now, but it did not stop the attack, and his robes were still hit.

After confirming the nature of the attack, Phos stopped waiting and asked, "You're from the church, right?"

"You appeared here and tried to kill me. Do you have a secret here?"

The black-masked figure stood in the distance, his eyes trembling slightly beneath the mask.

However, he did not stop casting his spell, and several more orbs of light appeared around him.

From now on, if Phos dares to show his face, he will inevitably be shot through.

However, Phos seemed determined not to come out of the pit and continued, "Al most likely had a mark left by Isabella on him before."

"It won't be long before Isabella leads her team to track us down."

"When the time comes, I won't be able to escape, and I will definitely point out your problems."

"How about this, you let me leave, and I'll take Al's body in another direction to draw your attention?!" Phos suggested at this moment.

However, all that greeted him was a beam of transparent light flying overhead.

Clearly, the black-masked priest rejected his offer.

Then Phos heard extremely faint footsteps.

After discovering that Phos did not leave the pit, the other party planned to approach and kill him, silencing him completely.

Upon hearing this, Phos immediately manipulated the steel balls to create a force field and began digging again.

However, he did not choose to continue drilling into a deeper pit.

In that case, his own actions would also be restricted.

I guess I really won't be able to escape from here then.

Indeed, although he had thoughts like "it would be worth it if I died now," Phos did not give up hope of living.

Although he is behaving strangely and his mental state is extremely complicated, he will never give up as long as there is a glimmer of hope.

With this in mind, Fass began his work, digging a shallow underground passage along the ground in another direction, forming a shallow underground trench.

Soil kept flying out of the pit, attracting the attention of the man in black.

However, because the steel balls can work independently, the movement of the soil cannot be used by the black mask to determine the exact location of Phos, thus slightly obscuring his own position.
