Devil's Bible

Chapter 214 Catch him
Isabella tilted her head and looked at the sky not far away, seemingly sensing something unusual.

However, from the current visual and sensory perspective, everything seems to be normal.

"Someone actually made a move near the church?" If it weren't for Isabella, she would probably have thought it was just her imagination.

But she was different; her perception was rarely wrong.

Just now, something definitely went wrong in that place.

Thinking this, Isabella quickly moved closer to that direction.

At the same time, the information is reported through the grid, requesting certain support.

The opponent's cover-up methods are very strong, so it can be confirmed that the opponent's strength is not too bad.

The church was nearby, and requesting assistance was much easier than expected.

However, just as Isabella sent her request for backup, Op and the others on the other side received the message that Isabella was on her way.

If it were other clergy members, the problem wouldn't actually be that serious.

The reason why Op and his group chose to use the area next to the church as their base was naturally after careful consideration.

This place connects the north and south districts and is located upstream of the Weizhong River, making it a transportation hub. Otherwise, the church would not have been set up here in the first place.

This place is also exceptionally advantageous for smuggling in the northern district.

Meanwhile, the smuggling of whale products is an open secret among most of the clergy in the church.

By establishing their base here, they would actually receive protection from most of the church members.

Besides, although this is a base, there isn't much 'evidence' here. It's more of an intermediary management task, and it's mostly a place where money flows.

The noblemen of the North District find it much more convenient to buy whale products here than in the taverns of the South District.

So the smuggling issue isn't too big, but the identities of people like Op and others are a bit of a problem.

Their identities were not hidden much from their collaborators.

Those people could accept it, but Isabella couldn't.

After all, Op and the others were closely related to the old priest from the previous village of Dorsal Fin.

She had always been skeptical about what happened in the backwater village, and seeing Op and the others working for Nemus now only fueled that skepticism.

If Isabella insists on continuing the investigation, it will inevitably strain her relationship with Nemes.

Meanwhile, at the new base of the fictional agreement, Nemus sensed the changes at the church and couldn't help but sigh, realizing that the changes brought about by the historical transition period were indeed opportunities to seize.

It just so happens that the research on soul components has yielded new results on the Fictional Agreement side today, which is why he came here.

It was precisely at this moment that Kru's multiple curses reached a critical point, making it impossible for him to intervene.

Poole was also by his side. The results of this soul accessory project were related to whale transformation, so he was here as well.

On the church's side, there was really no one who could support Oppe or stop Isabella at this moment.

“Zoven…you’ve grown up so fast.” Nemus observed the intruder through the Oath Rope on Op’s body. Although his appearance had changed, he still recognized him as his nominal disciple.

After being discovered by Op, Zovin's first reaction was to run away.

However, when Op and his group showed little desire to attack, and even cast spells to conceal what was happening here.

Zuowen immediately changed his plans, stalling Opus and escalating the situation.

After all, strictly speaking, although Zovin is a wanted criminal by the church, he has not been tried, so he is only a suspect, not a criminal with conclusive evidence.

The crime committed by Xibin was serious, but it didn't warrant implicating his family in public.

But besides the obvious problems, there are also hidden ones. When a wall falls, everyone pushes it down. The Xibin family has considerable resources, and with Xibin's downfall, it's foreseeable that his family won't fare well. Too many people will come to kick him while he's down.

That's why Xibin traded the secrets of the fairy for Nemus's help.

After that, the troubles involving the Xibin family gradually faded away under Nemes's protection.

This transaction itself was shady.

Nems' behavior wasn't exactly in accordance with the rules, but most of the clergy didn't see it as a major problem.

It's just that we can't just put it on the table like that.

Therefore, Zovin is now taking the initiative to attack, preventing Op from leaving.

He intends to put all of this out in the open.

Given the current situation, it's unlikely that he can secretly track down Op and search for Nems alone again.

After this incident, the other party will only become more vigilant.

Since that's the case, why not make a big fuss and then Nems' enemies will turn their attention to it?

Perhaps this incident will allow us to concentrate our efforts and bring Nems' real problem to light.

Unlike before, after more than two months of training and a change in mindset, Zuowen's combat abilities have been greatly enhanced.

Even though Op was a Steel-type wizard, and had Aro and the two outlaws by his side, he still seemed a bit flustered at this moment.

At this moment, Zuowen's swordsmanship was greatly enhanced, his strength suddenly increased exponentially, and he quickly walked into their blind spot and disappeared into the shadows.

His abilities are constantly changing, and the variety of powers makes him exceptionally difficult to deal with.

Op's spells failed to hit or restrain Zovin several times.

This is Zuowen's biggest growth during this period.

He was able to skillfully use the abilities of the various historical spirits summoned by Lillian, and could quickly adapt to switching between them in an instant, and then use them to fight.

Op is not particularly skilled in combat, so he has no problem casting spells from a distance.

However, his weaknesses became apparent when dealing with an opponent as agile as Zovin.

He felt that it wasn't his side ganging up on Zovin, but rather Zovin ganging up on them all by himself.

The ability and style are too varied.

The knife-wielder and the bow-wielder on the other side also had completely different feelings.

Previously, Zovin had no fighting spirit at all. Although his swordsmanship was strong, the two of them were able to suppress Zovin.

But things are different now. If it weren't for Aro, a master swordsman, and Op, who provides magical assistance, they would probably have already lost.

In this situation, it would be difficult to even cover Op's escape.

It's only been a little over a month, has Zuowen changed that much?!

Before he could think it through, Op felt the dome he had summoned shatter.

The sacred flames suddenly blazed.

Her golden hair fluttered as Isabella was buffeted by the wind stirred up by the flames.

Although both are of the Steel type and have only recently been promoted, Isabella and Op's auras are completely different.

At first glance, Opp sensed something was wrong.
