Devil's Bible

Chapter 241 Curse and Mutation
Becky also received orders from Nems at that moment.

As an alchemist, his main abilities lie in research rather than combat.

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, he immediately rushed to Jacques's location.

Their protective measures for Jacques were extremely thorough.

He was not only subjected to multiple sealing spells, but also had his senses blocked by secret techniques, and was given drugs to keep him in a state of long-term slumber and weakness.

In addition, there was the most direct physical restraint—a heavy, enormous iron ball, which held him firmly in place by thick chains.

Given all these methods, the experimental subject should have no chance of escaping.

After all, Jacques hadn't even reached the 'Steel Seed' level back then. Although the old priest had given him a small amount of the Saint's Potion to observe the reaction, the effective ingredients in the potion were negligible.

Therefore, even now, Jacques is still only a black stone variety.

In this situation, could Jacques escape control simply by relying on the power brought by some curses?
Becky quickly opened the entrance to the underground prison.

At the same time, Towns, who rarely appears in public, also appeared not far away.

He has been hiding here all this time, running his demon park.

The summoned lesser demons are not only required to hand over 30% of their accumulated resources according to the contract, but also to undertake tasks such as nurturing resources and producing extraordinary materials.

The entire underground park is heavily guarded, and theoretically, it is impossible for anyone to escape.

However, given the unexpected situation, some things have to be temporarily abandoned.

A thick black aura surged from Downs' body, and Crogg, who had become a full-fledged demon, moved in sync with him within his body, instantly breaking off a large number of demon contracts.

In an instant, the entire underground park was filled with the ecstatic screams of the little devils, which then vanished without a trace within seconds.

The members of the fictional protocol who had been lurking there immediately sprang into action, gathering all sorts of key materials and equipment to completely erase any trace of the little devil's activities.

If Jacques really loses control and causes a huge commotion, leading to the exposure of the park, their troubles will follow.

It is not yet time for the news that the fictitious agreement has not been destroyed to be revealed.

Becky quickly walked towards the area on one side of the park where experimental subjects were kept.

They went straight to the private room where Jacques was.

Upon opening the cell door, Becky's pupils contracted—Jacques inside had undergone a dramatic change!
Numerous white bone spurs pierced his skin and muscles, writhing like living things, intertwining and fusing to form a menacing layer of bony armor on his body.

During this process, many things implanted in his body are being forcibly 'squeezed out' by his continuously growing bones.

Scattered on the ground were large amounts of murky medicinal liquid, as well as fragments of alchemical tools that Becky had once implanted in his body.

The thick chain connecting the heavy iron ball had broken and was hanging on the ground.

The light from the sealing technique on his body was also flickering violently, clearly on the verge of collapse.

The power of the Dartmanley bloodline is breaking through all the constraints imposed on him at an astonishing speed!
If Nems hadn't noticed something amiss and thought of Jacques, it would have been a different story.

It's likely that after some time, Jacques will be able to break free of his shackles and escape.

At that moment, Jacques also noticed the arrival of Becky and Downs.

The eyes that were still exposed were filled with hatred.

Unlike the previous Daros, he didn't have any magic circles or runes on him to accelerate his monstrous transformation. However, the power of the curse had already eroded most of his sanity.

Its exposed teeth struggled, but it could barely utter a roar.

His remaining senses told him that in his current state, he was no match for the two people before him. He was in extremely poor condition and desperately needed to absorb more power from his shared bloodline to propel his further transformation.

The name 'Isabella…' also surfaced in his chaotic mind.

Towns was the first to make a move, and a large amount of green-black sacrificial fire surged forth as he reached out.

The pain caused by the sacrificial fire also surged into Jacques's body.

The ordinary sealing spells on Jacques shattered instantly, leaving only a special seal similar to the one that had bound Zovin before—preventing Jacques from escaping the area of ​​Tailtail Town.

However, the ability "Path of the Saint" is specifically designed to target obstacles, and restraint is also a type of obstacle.

It's unlikely that Jacques can be kept under control for long.

Almost as soon as the pain struck, Jacques turned and ran without any hesitation!
The pain that Towns conveyed did not break him.

His strong convictions and the loss of rationality brought about by his monstrous transformation ironically gave him a strong resistance to this sensory torment.

For the past six months, he has been imprisoned here. Except for brief periods when he is awakened for experiments, he has spent most of his time in a drug-induced coma, and is almost completely unaware of the outside world.

His memory was still stuck on the time when the old pastor was defeated by Nemes.

Based on the deal he finally made with Nemes, Isabella should have survived without knowing anything.

Knowing Isabella as he did, he knew she would never easily let go of her doubts about what happened back then.

As long as she continues her investigation, Nemes will never let her go!
He had to escape; he had to tell Isabella the crucial information he possessed!

It was this obsession that led him to accept the power originating from his bloodline, even though he sensed an ominous aura, and even though he himself loathed the Dartmenley bloodline.

Under the influence of that force, he not only cleansed himself of the various methods implanted in his body, but also successfully advanced to the Iron Seed level.

At this moment, a continuous stream of power is being transmitted through the bloodline connection.

He is getting stronger and stronger, and the power brought by his unique characteristics is also getting stronger.

He slammed into the wall, shattering it like paper, and plunged into the adjacent passageway.

The ground in front of him softened and churned instantly, enveloping him like a swamp. Jacques neither dodged nor avoided it, but roared and charged straight at it!

At the same time, a black aura landed not far from the underground park and condensed into Kru's body.

He frowned, sensing how tricky the situation was.

As he entered the underground park, he took advantage of the moment when Becky activated the protective barrier to think about the information given to him by Nemus.

"If the unknown bloodline curse is not dealt with quickly, the power of the bone monster might change and reappear in Jacques." As a curse sorcerer, Kru has an extremely deep understanding of curses.

This level of curse is highly likely to be related to something extremely troublesome, and in such cases, the curse is usually exceptionally complex and unpredictable.

It undergoes unpredictable adaptive changes based on individual differences in the host and environmental factors, which is precisely what makes this kind of curse so troublesome—it is difficult to eradicate and unpredictable.

But it was at this moment that Kru suddenly sensed danger approaching.
