Devil's Bible

Chapter 194 You're still a bit lacking when it comes to playing mind games with the devil.

However, the feel of this sword strike was still off.

The pierced phantom slowly dissipated, and the true body of the six-armed serpent demon had coiled up.

Multiple illusions are combined to cover up one's own attacks and defenses, creating a mix of reality and illusion.

With its body crouched low and its six arms flying, one has to admire the snake demon's incredible flexibility.

The combination of illusion and swordsmanship does indeed have certain advantages.

The attacks of a six-armed being are not something that ordinary people can stop, especially since some real attacks are replaced and concealed by illusions.

For someone with poor senses, they wouldn't even know when they were suddenly killed by a sword.

Nems, however, was different. He didn't rely entirely on senses like sight to judge the enemy's sword moves; he used 'calculation' instead.

In the clash of swords, he can judge the opponent's strength, the trajectory of the sword, and the opponent's specific attack posture by feeling the touch.

Furthermore, Nemes wasn't solely focused on defense.

Facing six swords, interspersed with illusions, no matter how well you defend, it's difficult to completely protect yourself, and mistakes are inevitable.

So the counterintuitive part is that at this point, a certain degree of offensive action is actually needed.

By launching attacks, they establish their own combat rhythm.

Faced with this kind of output, the six-armed serpent demon must take certain defensive measures and slow down its offensive pace.

Once he put on a defensive stance, his sword was restrained by Nemus's attack, and the sword paths of those other swords were pretty much set.

Of course, the most basic point in order to break the six-armed serpent demon's illusion sword technique with an offensive approach is that Nemus's sword can deal with the most complex attacks in the simplest way.

At the same time, a thrust should be made, posing a significant threat so that the opponent will use more of their sword for defense.

If your basic skills are inadequate and your numerical values ​​are insufficient, then this approach is simply suicidal.

The correct approach for ordinary people is for the third team captain to release sword energy from a distance without engaging in direct combat.

The six-armed serpent demon vanished in the next instant, and the six swords that had obscured the view also disappeared.

Illusion Sword Technique: The Invisible Sword!

The approach is the opposite of the previous "sword shadows obscuring the view." Instead of the sky being filled with sword shadows, all attacks, along with the swordsmen, vanish without a trace.

Nemus twisted his blade and pointed it at empty space.

Secret Sword: Sparrow Breaks the Sky!

The rapid swing of the sword cut through the air, forming a swirling white line around its body.

However, there was nothing around it.

Clearly, at this step, the six-armed serpent demon chose a different approach.

He has discovered that Nemus is able to accurately detect his attacks within the illusions by using both offensive and predictive abilities.

So what he needs to do most is not to maintain his previous fighting rhythm and launch a frenzied attack.

His advantage lies in his ability to withstand relentless attacks from others, which will eventually lead to their deaths.

However, his relentless attacks on Nemus only caused him to abandon all his illusionary advantages.

Therefore, the six-armed serpent demon deliberately did not follow its original attack rhythm.

When the invisible sword appeared, he did not actually launch an attack.

At this moment, Nemus's defensive sword technique had been unleashed, but the old power had been exhausted and the new power had not yet been generated. His body posture and the position of the sword revealed a large number of flaws.

"You're still a bit lacking when it comes to playing mind games with the devil."

In order for this attack to succeed, the six-armed serpent demon also used his rarely seen secret sword - the tail sword!
The tail controls its movements and cannot participate in combat for long periods of time, so this sword strike can only be used for a sneak attack.

The serpent's tail, coiled around the longsword, pierced through Nemus from the ground upwards. "Ah, I'll take your soul..."

Before he could finish uttering the word "finished," Nemus's pierced body went ethereal and then vanished.

A sword pierced the body of the six-armed serpent demon, and the real Nemus appeared on the other side.

Secret Sword Technique: Illusion Sword Art: Brilliant Parrot!
The six-armed serpent demon's body gradually collapsed, and all the investments he had made in this body were in vain.

Although he won't truly die, returning to the abyss is another story.

Demons come into reality through contracts, requiring a special vessel or their own condensed body as a vessel.

When they are killed in ordinary circumstances, it is only the vessel that dies; their true bodies return to the abyss.

However, this does not mean that the demon has no losses. In order for the vessel to fully exert the demon's original value, it requires a long period of resource investment and a close connection with the original body.

Once the vessel is killed, the demon that retreats back to the abyss will also lose this investment.

And the body will definitely fall into a state of weakness.

This weakness is not the weakness of humans, but a special state of numerical deficiency.

The numbers are still there, but they are struggling to exert their full potential.

The demon needs to replenish itself with a large amount of other flesh and soul to complete the restoration and emerge from its weakness.

The more powerful a demon is, the stronger these weaknesses become.

Therefore, lesser demons are relatively easy to deal with, as they generally have difficulty forming closely connected entities. This weakness can be compensated for by hunting some magical beasts.

Of course, lesser demons are also weak in their protection against external forces. Sometimes, if they are killed by some slightly special means in the material plane, they are truly killed.

However, true demons are different; they need to hunt more lives to replenish themselves.

During this process, the demons in the abyss are not unnoticed individuals.

Every demon is a potential hunter and prey. They observe other demons, waiting for them to weaken for various reasons, while they themselves are likely also being observed.

After the six-armed serpent demon arrived in the material plane, it fell into a state of weakness. Once it began hunting life in large numbers, it would be difficult to conceal the fact that it might be in a weakened state.

He will inevitably become someone else's prey.

After sending his fellow countryman, the six-armed serpent demon, back to his hometown, Nemus looked in the other direction, sword in hand.

The old man in the archives of the adjudication team and Isabella barely managed to hold off the alien demon, Aro.

And at the very moment Nemus killed the six-armed serpent demon.

The standard demon, who had fought with other clergy and killed many people, let out a strange cry, broke free from the clergy, and headed towards the demon warlock.

"Ben, dispel the summons, I want to return to the Abyss!"

"What time is it, still thinking about infighting!" The demon warlock naturally couldn't agree to the standard demon's request. His Shadowfiend transformation ended in failure as he made his final attempt to kill the five team captains.

Unfortunately, as time went on, more and more support from the church arrived.

Due to space constraints, most of the priests who were not strong enough could no longer participate in the battle and began chanting hymns once again.

However, the Church ultimately held the advantage in terms of steel.

Although not all of them have arrived, most of them have come at this moment.

Several members of the Iron Race have formed a mutual protection network. Although the captain of the fifth team has lost most of his combat power, he is protected by a heavy array of divine spells and magic.

He was also protected by the second team captain, who had come over wielding twin hammers after dealing with most of the gargoyles.

Clearly, if this continues, he might not even be able to run away.

"Aro realm, cover our retreat, the deal is still valid!"
