Devil's Bible

Chapter 265 Challenging the High Mountains

Parsons was Nems's weak point.

Of all the people, he has the worst mentality, the worst fighting spirit, and the worst reaction speed.

The moment Isabella gave the warning, the others either went on the defensive or prepared to respond.

Zovin even prepared for a rescue because of Lillian's reminder.

Unfortunately, Parsons still didn't realize that he was Nemes's target.

With a successful strike, Parsons' abilities were temporarily sealed, and Nemus's gaze immediately fell on Zovin.

Parsons is the weak point, and Zovin is the point of collapse for this besieging team.

Although Zowen's stats may not seem high, he is an absolute mainstay.

The Polar Star Sword: Back then, this 'Sword Saint's' swordsmanship had reached its peak, just like Nemus's. Then, relying on a certain characteristic, he found another power, 'space,' as the vessel for the sword and developed this Polar Star Sword Technique.

To some extent, Nemus's Sword of Fortune is still in the early stages of development, while his opponent has already reached its peak.

It was Zovin's swordsmanship that allowed him to spar with him for so long.

Without Zovin as a direct combatant to contend with him, the others...

The Holy Son could protect himself, but saving others was virtually impossible.

Isabella is a formidable adversary and a great threat, but as a priest, she lacks mobility. Without others, it would be difficult for Isabella to survive against him, and under the influence of luck, it would be difficult for her to hit herself.

Seppelison has an interesting ability: he can lower the values ​​and levels of other people and things. His own values ​​are also sufficient, but that's about it. When facing the Three Swords alone, he's just average.

As for the others? Let's not even mention them!

"Is this all you've got?" Nemus's voice was full of questions, and the others couldn't help but be shocked by Nemus's fighting prowess.

But upon closer reflection, it doesn't seem exaggerated.

After all, the once invincible Aro realm was defeated by Nemus just like that.

The sheer brilliance of Nemus's talent—his mastery of combat and his ability to exploit enemy weaknesses—only becomes truly terrifying when one actually engages in combat.

Sepperison was the most shocked by this.

The harsh reality slowed his reaction time.

Only now did he realize how arrogant he had been, how arrogance had unknowingly seeped into his very bones.

He always viewed Nems from Lord Gotthard's perspective.

To take Lord Gotthard's comments about Nemes as gospel.

They believed that Nemus would run out of potential once he reached the Gold level, and therefore did not consider him a true opponent.

He even presumptuously tried to order Nems around.

However, the moment they actually clashed, the enormous difference in their strength left him breathless.

Its unique characteristic—discrete suppression—can suppress most of the energy in a target.

This manifests as suppressing certain human attributes or suddenly 'downgrading' something, rendering it less powerful.

Nemus's stats have been suppressed by at least twenty points, and now his stats are at most sixty points.

Yet he was able to advance and retreat freely despite being surrounded by so many people.

If I were to face Nemus alone, even if my stats were higher than Nemus's, I would probably die from Nemus's sword within a few moves.

The opponent's swordsmanship was terrifying.

And this shame caused by contempt is followed by an even stronger will.

"I must be here, capture Nemus, and put him to trial!" Having realized Nemus's power, Sepperison made up his mind. He also wholeheartedly agreed with Isabella's earlier assessment: someone like Nemus absolutely could not be allowed to live.

Nemus's sword energy shot out, its movements controlled by his will, becoming increasingly unpredictable.

When needed, the Qi Sword becomes as hard as steel, with countless Qi energies intertwining to form powerful resilience.

It can also disperse instantly; each wisp of energy is a sword aura, which can be commanded as if it were an extension of one's arm, flowing with Nemus's thoughts.

And everyone in the midst of the battle felt that Nemus's swordsmanship was improving rapidly.

This is especially true for Zovin, who faces his enemies head-on with swordsmanship and Nemus.

His swordsmanship has improved so rapidly because he has the soul of history and the Polar Star Sword as his foundation.

It's like having all sword techniques and moves laid out there, and even many formulas for dealing with enemies; he just needs to apply them.

All Nems could rely on was his talent and the pressure of being attacked by so many people.

Under these circumstances, Nemus's swordsmanship developed at an increasingly rapid pace.

“Nair is a genius who can absolutely shine in history… Wait, I think I’ve heard of a swordsmanship genius like that before, in the gaps of history.” Lillian floated to the side, constantly providing various forms of assistance.

For example, during breaks in the fight with Nemus, he could switch to the Historical Soul within Zovin to restore Zovin's strength, and use his own insight to tell Zovin about the possible weaknesses in Nemus's sword techniques, and so on.

Although Zovin memorized Lillian's words, his attention became increasingly focused on swordsmanship.

He gradually mastered the swordsmanship of the Polar Star Sword.

The sounds of swords clashing echoed constantly between the two, and sword shadows flew everywhere.

Zuowen's sword constantly leaps through space and traverses distances.

Nemus's sword energy is constantly changing and seems to be becoming increasingly bizarre.

Those auras changed rapidly, fading from white to become an invisible sword, only to turn back to white in a few breaths.

"The power he uses is somewhat similar to fate, or a part of the power of fate."

“Right now, he’s experimenting, using this power as a vehicle for his swordsmanship!” Lillian immediately reminded him upon seeing this.

Zovin quickly spoke up, relaying Lillian's words.

At this moment, Nemus's understanding of luck was also rapidly increasing.

He slightly rotated the Qi sword, and then a blue dot flashed across the Qi sword.

With a horizontal slash, the glowing substance that suddenly appeared from the side and swept towards them was cleaved in two by Nemus's sword.

Thick white vapor emanated from the sword in Nemus's hand. However, the luminous substance that Nemus had previously dared not face directly had now been dealt with by Nemus in a way that allowed him to confront it head-on.

Isabella frowned slightly; in that instant, she sensed more elements being stirred.

It gave her the feeling that a spell had been cast.

And as expected, the element that was just mobilized was—ice!

Nemus frowned slightly, and then the qi sword in his hand turned blue once again.

The unstable blue color gradually stabilized, and the originally flowing sword of energy gradually transformed into a solid blue ice sword.

Nems' brow unfurrowed and a smile appeared on his face.

Isabella, Zovin, the Holy Son, Seppelison, and other clergy stood in different positions surrounding Nemus in the center.

It didn't give people the feeling of being besieged; instead, it was like a group of fools challenging an insurmountable mountain.
