Devil's Bible

Chapter 166 Sacrifice was his choice
"Whoosh!" Fass dodged another round of magical bombardment, feeling weak all over.

Just now, he almost lost his temper and exploded with these people.

Whether those people will live or die is unknown, but he will definitely die.

His current problem stems not only from external battles but also from his own inner issues. If anything goes wrong, his mental state will shift, causing him to lose control.

"I need pressure, but I can't be under constant pressure," Fass told himself, strengthening his mental resilience.

Amidst a flurry of thoughts, and after dodging another attack, he approached the black-masked figures.

Phos's whole body was trembling slightly, as if something had burrowed into it.

Once the extreme values ​​of one's own numbers are developed, the values ​​of others are also added accordingly.

However, there is still an obstacle behind those numbers, making it impossible to understand them.

It's like meeting someone you like, rushing towards them, only to find that they're wearing thick clothes.

He wanted to take off the other person's clothes, but found that no matter what he did, he couldn't find the button to unbutton it.

This feeling was like a fire propelling Phos, making him immediately engage in violent and reckless actions.

But reason clearly reminded me that if I acted violently at this moment and hurt the other party, I might lose this hard-won opportunity.

All sorts of anxiety and frustration made Phos feel as if his mind was as still as a lake on a rainy day.

Every emotion, every thought, struck like raindrops, creating ripples upon ripples.

Sometimes, even Phos wasn't sure if he was still lucid.

He constantly oscillated between chaos and reason.

My thoughts and perceptions kept changing, and then I experienced several moments of sudden clarity, only to realize what I was doing.

What's strange is that, despite being in this dreamlike, illusory, and occasionally lucid mental state, Phos's mental strength is extremely resilient.

They can clearly perceive changes in their surroundings and make accurate responses. Although those black-masked people are elites, their spells at this moment, except for those wide-area attacks, are basically difficult to hit Fass.

Or perhaps, just before it arrived, it was protected by Phos using steel balls to create a celestial force field.

"Why have I changed like this?" Phos occasionally regained his senses and then pondered the changes in himself.

He didn't believe he possessed such talent, so his ability to evade those attacks so easily must have been due to some other reason.

Therefore, Fass immediately thought of his own characteristic—group symbiosis.

After defeating and killing the enemy, a portion of the enemy's soul and life essence will be collected and stored in the berserk accessory.

It's as if he himself possessed the demon's ability to plunder.

Furthermore, these souls possess a certain degree of independent consciousness and are able to make their own judgments.

When creating the Rampage Accessory IV, Nemus also 'organized and planned' these souls to ensure that these consciousnesses would not rebel at will.

"The reason why I can maintain a high level of combat intensity while in a semi-conscious state is because these consciousnesses can also fight automatically."

"So, is it possible to make these consciousnesses 'surrender' to me on their own, unbutton that button, and thus allow me to obtain the key number?" As soon as this thought came to mind, Fass immediately felt that he had grasped the key.

However, at this moment, Phos couldn't help but wonder what charm he possessed that could make these consciousnesses hand over their 'origin' to him, the being who had killed them.

Although the main self of these soul consciousnesses has been released, some 'resentment' will still remain in the remaining part of the soul.

"So... there's still no way?" Phos couldn't help but fall into despair.

But the despair in his mind did not mean that Phos's actions stopped. On the contrary, his actions became even more violent.

After dodging a wave of spells, all the steel balls around Phos changed.

Force Field Shield Transformation - Force Field Sword!
Previously, Phos was able to use the force field as a 'digging tool' to help him dig a hole. Now, he was simply pushing the steel ball to change again, thus causing the force field to change once more.

The force field suddenly flattened and rapidly extended forward.

With a single thrust, the sword struck the black-masked man who had previously released the bullet.

The black-masked figure sensed that its body had been pierced, but it did not stop; instead, all its spiritual energy flowed at that moment.

These mental forces forcibly penetrated the force field.

Spell hijacking!

However, it is natural to fail to forcibly hijack the mental power of a strong person with the mental power of a weak person, especially the violent and volatile mental power of Phos.

However, this resolute spirit is not so easy to eradicate.

Upon entering the force field, this mental force caused interference, thus disrupting the previously stable force field.

Even the steel balls that formed the force field fluctuated and jumped in mid-air, losing their original 'position'.

The force field spell was thus broken.

The other Black Masks immediately seized the opportunity created for them by their comrades' lives.

A person wearing a black mask suddenly jumped out from the shadows.

This person had never appeared before, and this was the first time he had made a move.

The sword in the opponent's hand was dull and lifeless, and his eyes seemed to contain many dim embers.

Then came the flying of sword blades.

Ascetic paladins, who strictly adhere to various commandments, are even rarer than the disciplined paladins that Nemus achieved through the Holy Nail.

The discipline he adhered to even caused Phos's spiritual perception to ignore his inaction.

The blade flashed and then struck Phos's neck.

A large amount of black energy surged at the neck, forming an obstacle that blocked the sword strike.

But it was too late.

The ascetic paladin kicked out, but failed to send Phos flying as he shifted to the right and rear without sensing the kick. However, Phos inevitably lost his balance as a result.

Although it is possible to forcibly control the rapid changes in the body with mental power, ignoring the inertia and force exertion of the body.

However, without any coordination at this moment, the control of mental power also has its limits.

The further changes in his body slowed down.

Predictably, the other black-masked spells would immediately follow in a sweeping fashion.

The ascetic paladin made no move to dodge; on the contrary, he was determined to pursue further and restrict Phos's movements.

Sacrifice was his choice!
