Devil's Bible

Chapter 368 Combat Alchemy

"There's really no other way then, since I still have some use for your mother's body."

"Maybe after this battle, there will be some limbs and scraps left. I'll make sure to leave some for you." The twin demons made a casual remark, their words revealing their complete indifference towards Kru.

From the day he became a high-ranking demon, he set his sights on the Azure Whale.

Having plotted for nearly two hundred years, during which time he had even become a demon lord, it was time to reap the rewards of his schemes.

He will swallow the entire Azure Whale whole, as for Kru...

It was just a backup plan that never got used.

The purpose of getting his mother pregnant was simply to keep her body under the influence of the Gemini Demons, making it easier for the other's body to become the vessel for the child.

This situation actually became irrelevant after Kru was born, because by then the woman's sense of self had been gradually restricted.

The twin demons never cared about this child.

He has many similar offspring in both the Abyss and the material plane.

Although it is difficult for those of superior bloodlines to conceive offspring, he has been sowing seeds continuously.

These offspring...

The aura of the curse flashed by, but it had no effect whatsoever.

The twin demons glanced at Kru with a smile, and then the malice in their eyes materialized.

He reached out and grabbed his face with both hands.

"This beauty mark is your memory point, right?" he said, while unhesitatingly digging out a piece of flesh from his face and throwing it into the soil in front of him.

Kru closed his eyes as he looked at the twin demons with a bloody hole in their faces.

Just as the Twin Demons were about to say something, Guilliman appeared in front of them, his longsword flashing out swiftly.

Sword of Fortune, Sword of Order!
All the forces, arranged in order, the blades like a natural battleground.

Although the sword was aimed at the twin demons, it actually struck them instead.

With just one sword strike, it seemed as if it carried the power of the entire city.

"They really are... not to be underestimated!" Countless streams of light flashed in front of the twin demons, and then a force was formed, blocking Guilliman's sword.

“You’ve grown quite a bit over the past seventy years,” Gemini praised.

Seventy years ago, Guilliman's score was only three hundred, but now it has grown to around five hundred, which is a truly rapid increase.

Besides that, there was Guilliman's swordsmanship.

"So this is the Sword of Fortune? It seems the leader my son has allied himself with is quite capable; this swordsmanship has actually allowed you to approach the threshold of Sword Saint."

The power surrounding the twin demons was constantly shifting, and various dazzling lights were flashing.

"Battle alchemy?" Guilliman naturally recognized the power the Twin Demons were currently using.

In the environment of the Abyss, it is difficult for the Twin Demons to find a suitable vessel, and in order to increase the margin for error, he had to let his two innate bodies cultivate the life aspect on one side and the spirit aspect on the other.

While this ensured the growth of the twin demons, it also significantly reduced the range of options available to him when choosing a third 'avatar'.

So he chose Kru's mother, a woman of divine blood, who, although a spellcaster, was an alchemist whose primary purpose was to connect the astral plane, the etheric plane, and other multiverses.

Guilliman's gaze sharpened, and then he immediately increased the speed of his sword, slashing towards the twin demons.

Alchemy requires extensive preparation and coordination; even combat-oriented alchemy suffers from a severe lack of adaptability. Essentially, if a fast-paced, multi-faceted battle overwhelms the alchemist, victory is virtually guaranteed.

Guilliman could also sense that the Twin Demons' body was not strong enough, and its stats might even be lower than his own.

It's highly likely that the value is only around 200, and it might only become a golden variety within the next ten years or so.

As the masterminds behind the scenes, they could only feel at ease letting others deal with the warden's problem after cutting him off.

The Sword of Order in his hand was swiftly swung out, its offensive power growing stronger and stronger, and its attributes were constantly changing.

Just a moment ago, the focus was still on the divine attribute.

The next moment, the blade in Guilliman's hand had already changed to another attribute.

Regardless of the type, their foundation is the Sword of Fortune, imbued with the Order Power unique to Guilliman.

The protective barrier that had been forming in front of the twin demons gradually weakened, and finally, when Guilliman converted his power attribute into wind attribute, the shield shattered.

Because the material plane is now closer to the earth elemental plane, according to the alchemical principle of "the lower is above the higher."

This shield is primarily composed of earth elements, which in turn counter water, balance fire, and are weak against wind.

At this moment, the positions of the astral plane and the etheric plane have not changed much.

The power that can be formed through communication, if the structure is to be changed, then more processes are needed to transform it.

This is the alchemist's impasse.

By harnessing the power of celestial phenomena, the external environment, and various distant planes and realms, they are able to unleash power at an extremely high multiplier.

The Twin Demons, with a current value of only 200, managed to block four or five sword strikes from Guilliman, who possessed a value of 500 and used swordsmanship comparable to a Sword Saint, with just one layer of shield.

However, if their dimensional position does not change, the types of forces and methods they can use will be very limited in the short term.

In this situation, one becomes very rigid when facing opponents of the same or even higher level in real-time combat.

Sure enough, Guilliman's next sword strike was imbued with the power of wind, and new streams of light flashed around the Twin Demons' bodies.

This layer of shields transformed into a water-based system, successfully suppressing the wind.

Even so, the entire shield still shook rapidly.

“The attributes are wrong, the alchemy multiplier has decreased, and my casting speed can’t keep up with the changes in swordsmanship…” The twin demons were well aware of this.

Sure enough, the next moment, the sword in Guilliman's hand became primarily an earth elemental.

At this point, it would be too late to change the main structural elements or perform new alchemy.

However, the twin demons showed no panic whatsoever.

Since he dared to come out and use a vessel with a value of 200 to fight, he must have extremely powerful trump cards.

Behind the twin demons, a dark shadow appeared, and a gigantic demon phantom hundreds of meters tall stood there.

At the same time, everyone smelled a sulfurous odor.

Then a touch of blood appeared on the shield in front of the twin demons.

The territory of the demon lord can also be regarded as a small plane!
