Devil's Bible

Chapter 352 Disaster
"Oh!"

A violent gust of air surged forth, and the Holy Son Nemus leaped into the air, his sword about to be swung, but he was frozen in place.

Red-Eyed Three crouched not far away, both of its eyes gleaming with a ferocious red light, and the middle pair of eyes was slightly open at this moment.

However, at this moment, those eyes did not swallow up the light.

On the contrary, in those almost black, red eyes, there seemed to be some kind of light gathering.

In those eyes, Nemus even sensed a power similar to that of a saint.

Clearly, although Red-Eyed Three could only be considered a semi-successful experimental subject, in some aspects he did indeed come close to becoming a saint.

On the other hand, Jin Sheng's methods were also quite remarkable.

In terms of approaching sainthood, he was not as extreme as Red-Eyed Three, but his physical condition was clearly more stable.

Like Jane, his saintly essence is embodied in his lungs.

Therefore, his breathing technique is extremely powerful; even a slight breath can generate a huge airflow.

Furthermore, during this process, his exhalation can also form a kind of 'attack,' such as the previous oscillating airflow.

Jin Sheng could even use his breath to emit a special aura that completely covered his body, forming a protective barrier.

In addition, although Jin Sheng does not know swordsmanship, he has mastered extremely rare hand-to-hand combat techniques.

Generally speaking, practitioners on the life side mostly use weapons such as swords and knives to fight.

So-called close-quarters combat is actually quite rare.

They are all made of flesh and blood, and even if they have some defensive characteristics, they would basically not do such a thing, as the risk is too great.

There is an insurmountable chasm between armed and unarmed combat.

If hand-to-hand combat becomes widespread, there is only one possibility: the Church forbids warfare.

It is said that a certain god known as the God of War, under whose church the use of weapons in battles other than war is forbidden, has resulted in a high level of melee combat skills there, which has given rise to many different styles.

Unfortunately, the God of Discipline does not impose such restrictions here, so melee combat is mostly considered a supplementary skill, and even has a performative aspect.

Jin Sheng's physical skills are very high.

It's clear that he also made use of his own sacred lungs, coordinating every movement of his body with his breathing, so that he could generate the power of wind with every step he took.

He could be considered a worthy opponent to fight against.

"So... that's all?" Nemus brandished his sword. Red-Eyed Three and Golden Saint were both formidable opponents.

However, after several encounters, Nemus had roughly calculated the limits of their abilities and discovered their weaknesses.

Normally, Nemus might spar with his opponent a few more times to gauge their strength and perhaps gain some inspiration from them.

But now, Nemes thought that if they were still in this state, then he would kill them.

Based on the current situation, these two test subjects may very well be just pawns discarded by the mastermind behind the scenes.

This Holy Son's completion of the ritual will most likely involve nothing else.

After all, the mastermind behind the scenes was fairly certain that he had not used the Saint Transformation.

Once he activates his Sainthood, all these enemies will be nothing but dirt chickens and dogs.

Except for the swordsman Nemus.

To assume that one is bound to clash with the Sword Saint Nemus is not a well-thought-out plan.

In this situation, it seems unnecessary to waste time on them.

However, Jin Sheng remained remarkably calm, clearly still possessing some trump cards. With each breath, the circles previously laid out on the ground began to transform into new power.

Within the three red circles, the animals, birds, and plants that had been there before began to die in large numbers.

During this process, something converged towards the circle where Jin Sheng was located.

Even though Jin Sheng and the others weren't in the circle at that moment, some power still flowed into their bodies through a special connection.

Unable to suppress a low growl of pain, Jin Sheng trembled all over, and then a thick black aura began to emerge from his body.

The moment that aura appeared, Nemus felt 'uncomfortable'.

This discomfort stemmed from the instinct of life, and then Nemus felt a slight tremor in his own hidden soul.

The thrill wasn't from encountering someone of the same kind or a natural enemy; it was more like encountering a fellow 'competitor'.

“Calamity…” This message immediately came to Nemus’s mind.

No one knows how the so-called great calamity came about.

Of course, the gods might find out.

Signs appeared about 1,200 years ago, and then humans completed their evacuation around 1,100 to 1,000 years ago, retreating to the backs of floating whales.

The only information Naim currently has is that the land is covered with calamities and calamity creatures.

These calamity creatures are at least of the Iron-type level, possess multiple characteristics, and are extremely powerful.

"Now it seems that calamity may very well be a kind of broken number?"

"It was only the majority of the fragmented elements that converged and became the abyss."

"Yet another fragmented number fell upon the land of our material plane, causing calamity?"

"Or perhaps, is the fragmentation of numbers not just the sole taboo of fate?"

“Does number also have other forbidden manifestations, and this manifestation occurred more than a thousand years ago, thus forming the current catastrophe on earth?” Nemus speculated.

Meanwhile, watching Jin Sheng and Hong Mu San, the challenge began to increase.

Although he had never actually experienced Calamity, Nemus was still familiar with its three characteristics.

'Calamity Creature': Its body is like a calamity, possessing ethereal and intangible characteristics, making it difficult to be damaged by conventional physical attacks.

'Calamity Attack': The attack is like a calamity, difficult to predict, and has a certain chance of causing instant death.

'Calamity Contagion': Its very existence is a calamity, capable of spreading calamity to other things around it, thereby increasing their danger.

These are the famous three characteristics of Calamity.

All three of these characteristics are gold-level.

Ordinary calamity creatures also exist.

This is why, before becoming a golden seed, getting close to the earth is tantamount to suicide.

In the current situation, the Holy Son's Completion Ritual actually managed to seize some of the Calamity from the dangerous creature and condense the Calamity's characteristics.
Nemus became interested, and at the same time, the revelation of meditation was passively activated. Nemus vaguely sensed that the entire Instrumentality Ritual might have another use.

The so-called differentiation, and then acquiring the characteristics of other things to complete one's own holy son essence, may just be the mastermind behind the scenes... or rather, Clement, Nems has already figured out his identity.

All of this may just be a lie Clement told his experimental subjects.

It's almost impossible to expect a morbid person to think about the future of a group of experimental subjects.
