Devil's Bible

Chapter 258 Sword Technique Spellcasting
Nemus could feel the pressure emanating from the Aro realm.

This is not surprising, since the value of the Arhat realm is more than twice that of him.

Furthermore, as a different kind of demon, Arojie is not lacking in special characteristics. Having lived for over two hundred years, his combat skills, while not at the level of a top genius, have been honed to the point where they have few flaws.

At the same time, just as Aro said, he was a carnivore, and his mentality was completely different from that of ordinary individuals.

He will fight to the very last moment, and throughout the entire process, all the thoughts and talents of the Aro realm will be at work for the sake of the battle.

Furthermore, the opponent has developed a very correct combat philosophy—numericals are king.

He would trust the numbers even when he couldn't determine the enemy's strength, or even when he was outmatched by the opponent's techniques.

By simply piling up numerical values, a mindless defense is created.

This concept is indeed correct for the Arhats.

If he tries to take shortcuts, then the Argonauts might lose very quickly.

The more skillful the technique, the greater the risk, and therefore the bigger the flaw.

At this moment, even the world of Arro had to marvel at the power of Nemus.

Given his advantage, Naims should be the one being cornered right now.

But now, he felt as if he were facing some kind of powerful monster, and he had to be careful with every word and action, otherwise he felt like he might die at any moment.

The Aro realm had experienced this feeling before, but it only happened when facing other demons or higher-level demons.

However, Nemus was merely a human paladin who had not yet reached his full potential.

However, the more this was the case, the more certain Aro was that Nemus must possess something he wanted.

Aro made several attempts to probe, constantly releasing invisible power, but without achieving any results.

Each time, they either landed in the illusion's location or had their attack interrupted by Nemus beforehand.

Faced with the sword of energy thrusting towards him by Nemus, although he felt that its power was not as great as the first time, he still had to draw more invisible power to defend himself.

Because every strike from Nemus seemed to land on the spot that hurt him the most.

Having honed his skills through two hundred years of combat, his fighting techniques had few flaws to begin with, but Nemus had managed to figure them out little by little.

In many cases, he himself had not yet discovered the problems, but through Nemus's attack, he discovered that the invisible power he originally thought was all-powerful actually had so many flaws.

When the mobilization speed is not fast enough and there are structural problems, the invisible forces may even conflict with each other. Furthermore, each time the invisible forces move, they carry some external air, thus creating changes in airflow...

These points became opportunities for Nemus to gradually neutralize Aro's attacks.

More often than not, it was Nemes who was on the offensive, as if Nemes had the upper hand.

"The opponent's stats aren't the key point; the key point is their technique, and those strange powers that come with that technique," Arojie assessed.

"The other party may not seem to have any particularly obvious characteristics, but that's not the case. On the contrary, this person has many characteristics, but most of them are not manifest in the outside world."

If it weren't for the fact that Aro had accumulated a lot of characteristics due to the two-sided flip, and these characteristics were fused together because they were of the same type, forming two multi-functional super characteristics, he probably wouldn't have discovered that Nemus had so many characteristics.

"His characteristics are internalized and all of them are applied to himself. It is precisely because of this that he is able to handle so many problems when necessary."

Nems' various actions may seem simple, but the skill required is quite high.

These thresholds are not just about skills, but also about characteristics. For example, Nemus can very naturally detach external power, absorb it through breathing, and then release it in the next instant in conjunction with his own energy sword.

Even though the third team captain had cultivated the Breathing Technique and gained the ability to breathe freely, he still needed to practice many times to barely achieve this effect.

But in Naims's case, it seemed perfectly natural.

This is naturally because Nemus possesses the [Containment Control] from the village guardians, the [Other Eaters] from the whale-woman Lyria, the [Fusion Essence] from the Opp Merchant Guild, and the [Twin Containment] from Kru Kru.

These characteristics all enhanced Nemus's control over external forces.

Nems was already quite used to this.

After confirming this, the Aro realm roughly concluded the reason for Nemus's strength.

Many of his characteristics of controlling external forces, combined with Nemus's powerful skills, make him, although a cultivator on the life side, actually more adept at manipulating external elements than many spellcasters.

Furthermore, because Nemus is physically strong and mentally resilient, he does not need to focus on the manipulation and construction of mental power when casting spells, unlike other spellcasters. He only needs to draw his sword and use it as his spellcasting channel.

In essence, Nemus is a practitioner of magic body techniques who is close to mastery!
That's what makes Nems so powerful.

Having confirmed all of this, Aro finally knew how to deliver a fatal blow.

Others are helpless against an enemy like Nemus, but he is not.

Aro's appearance changed rapidly, and his body quickly swelled into a male form.

The transformation is complete; he is now outwardly masculine and inwardly feminine.

Therefore, the characteristics he uses come from all the female souls he has collected in the past; their traits are combined to form his characteristics.

A powerful life force surged forth.

He was previously cut into several pieces by Parsons' sword but remained undead, thanks to this life-like characteristic.

If Granny Bird's soul had been collected, her life force would have gained an additional quality that would accelerate her self-healing process even after she was injured.

But for now, that's enough.

The surging vitality formed a tangible, blood-red aura that spread rapidly.

Each wisp of crimson aura contained a strong personal imprint of the Aro realm.

Using conventional methods, it would be extremely difficult to remove even a trace of the mark.

Before long, the surging crimson covered the surrounding area.

It was at this very moment that the surrounding clergy began to approach.

Especially those followers who were always with Parsons.

Their faces were filled with terror, as if the sky had fallen.

They never expected that Parsons would be defeated in one move and then captured.

Parsons absolutely cannot get into trouble!

He's the eldest son of the Levin family, a high-ranking nobleman, and a big shot from Qiquan City. If something happens to him, Tailtail Town is finished!
"Don't cast spells recklessly, wait for my orders!" Seeing a priest preparing to cast a spell, fearing he might accidentally injure Parsons, his squire shouted, then led the group cautiously into the blood mist.
