Devil's Bible

Chapter 195 Fall
The fact that Aro hadn't managed to kill the fifth team captain was something the demon warlock hadn't expected.

As a different kind of demon, Aro's value has reached over 190.

In other words, some newly promoted gold-tier individuals may not even have as high a stat as him.

However, that old codger who appeared out of nowhere truly blocked the path of Arhat.

Of course, it doesn't seem strange now.

The old man from the referee team had his shirt mostly torn, revealing his aged but not wrinkled skin.

When he was curled up, he looked thin and frail, but after the battle, his muscles bulged, making him appear exceptionally strong.

Even the aged skin on her face was stretched open, giving her a youthful vitality again.

On his naked body, Nemus saw countless holy nails and a powerful demon sealing array composed of several seals.

Although this guy is only a Steel-type, even Gold-type soldiers wouldn't dare to be too careless in actual combat.

Argos didn't seem to care when he heard the demon warlock's words.

He'll do anything as long as there's profit to be made.

As for that old human, all he needs to do is avoid being caught and killed along with it.

At most, his opponent could only restrict his movements. If the time dragged on a little longer, he would naturally be able to kill most of the people in the vicinity.

However, since the demon warlock himself had backed down, he was actually happy to see it happen.

Instead, I felt even happier.

The demon warlock's soul is corrupting.

Previously, the Demon Warlock firmly believed in his theory of success, thinking that as long as he succeeded, everything could be salvaged and everything could be under his control.

However, in his behavior and inner thoughts, he still retained that human thought—some things were very important to him.

This importance, to a certain extent, surpasses his own life, and at least in the short term, it makes him overlook this point.

For example, the demon warlock thought he could give up everything, but after the butler died, his inner emotions surpassed his concern for his own life and future.

That's why he used the soul of sin he had been so reluctant to part with as a bargaining chip, asking me to help him kill.

This emphasis on emotions is a human aspect of demon warlocks.

Now, under the threat of life and death, the human side is gradually suppressed, and reason and animalistic instincts reach a reconciliation.

The demon warlock who chose to retreat, faced with his conflicting choices, would naturally try to avoid the pain of admitting 'defeat'.

The easiest things to do are simply to shirk responsibility and to ignore or downplay the human emotions that came before.

He is currently an indispensable force for the demon warlock, and he cannot shirk responsibility. Therefore, he naturally made the choice to belittle his feelings for the butler.

Since Arojie has stopped attacking, his movements have become difficult to predict.

The speed generated by the numerical value of over one hundred is completely beyond what normal perception can achieve.

The demon warlock was completely shrouded in shadow, and a standard demon on the other side quickly came to his side to protect him.

The three demons then attempted to leave through the surging shadows.

But the next moment, a sword was already stuck in the ground.

Suddenly, a large number of tree vines rose up and quickly wrapped around the three demon warlocks.

At the same time, countless vines and branches swayed continuously, and all the shadows began to change rapidly at this moment.

That's when the three demon warlocks' shadow leaps stopped.

Shadow Jump is not a spatial ability; it simply uses shadows as a medium for movement.

Therefore, the medium of shadow cannot change too quickly.

Nemus keenly noticed this; the Forest Sword's ability to summon the power of trees to grow, which seemed somewhat useless to him, was now proving useful. And upon closer inspection, one could see that the roots of those plants, anchored in the ground, were drawing upon the power of the shadows to some extent.

The sealing technique, using the opponent's own weapon against them, is in operation.

The vines and trees summoned by the Forest Sword are not simple things.

Otherwise, this sword could not be called the Forest Sword.

"Damn it!" The demon warlock gritted his teeth, unleashing a burst of dark demonic aura from his entire body, attempting to create a black environment once again to envelop everything around him and stabilize the shadow medium with complete darkness.

From beginning to end, he never really thought much of Naimus, the great knight.

He's just a nobody who's been promoted to the Steel Ranks for a little over six months.

The swordsmanship is touted as amazing, but it's probably just so-so.

Perhaps they have the means, or perhaps they have connections in Qiquan City.

But so what? His strength far surpasses Nemus's.

Previously, he believed that only Rhine and another 'old codger' could threaten him in Tailwind Town.

Even if Nemus were to arrive, he would only be an ordinary paladin with decent swordsmanship.

But this Nems, whom he didn't even consider a threat, first killed one of his generals, and now prevented him from escaping.

It's just that the timing isn't right today, otherwise he would have made Nems pay the price!
"You just wait!" the demon warlock said threateningly, then completed the expansion of darkness. Sensing that the shadows had stabilized, he prepared to truly leave.

However, Nems will not give the other party that chance.

“Stay here.” Nemus flicked his wrist, and the sword was now held upside down.

Secret Sword: Dark Raven Crossing!
A flash of sword light pierced the curtain of darkness.

Nemus had already appeared beside the demon warlock.

Arojie's eyes flickered slightly, and he took action.

With a flick of his finger, a surge of energy emerged, attempting to halt Nemus's movements.

However, in the next instant, Arojie reacted and his figure flashed to the other side.

But this Nemes suddenly flickered for a moment and then disappeared.

It's still the Illusion Sword Technique!

This time, however, it was combined with the Dark Raven Crossing.

The real Nemes has appeared on the other side.

With a sword thrusting upwards, penetration became inevitable.

The demon warlock felt as if he were trapped in place, unable to move at all, and even his thoughts seemed to have become somewhat stiff.

The aura of death, like ravens, had already circled and locked onto him.

At this moment, he felt that he was not facing swordsmanship, but rather a 'death spell' disguised as swordsmanship.

The shadows on the demon warlock's body shifted constantly, but they were essentially ineffective, piercing through instantly with the sword.

Swordsmanship and magic have been combined, with the sword as the edge and the magic as the blade.

The demon warlock kept manipulating the shadows, trying to cast spells with his limited mental energy, but suddenly discovered that all the shadows around him were trembling.

It's like water placed on a vibrating copper plate.

"Oh no!" He's having trouble controlling the Shadow Demon.
