Devil's Bible

Chapter 400 War Objectives
Nemus avoided the recruiting demons and arrived at a nearby demon town.

Although it's called a town, most of the houses are actually made of mud bricks, with some tattered furs covering a makeshift shack, which is considered a decent place to live.

It's safe to say that even the worst slums aren't necessarily as bad as this place.

Apart from the yellow mud, very little else can be seen.

As a result, the pillars of the shacks were basically made of bones, tendons, and skin.

This desolate place has virtually no other supplies.

The only material that is relatively abundant is 'human resources'.

As soon as Nemus entered the city, he saw a demon's hut collapse not far away.

Without any hesitation, the demon reached out and grabbed another demon that hadn't managed to escape or was trying to steal something.

Then, ignoring the demon's struggles and howls, he ripped off its head and pulled out its bones and tendons.

Without any special technique, they repaired the collapsed shack extremely quickly.

Then, he didn't forget to lick the demon's flesh and blood clean, and condensed its soul into his own body.

"Yo! Nemus!! You're still alive?" The demon repairing the shack had very sharp senses. Nemus had barely gotten close when the demon had already sensed Nemus's presence.

“Salishi, you’re still doing business here, how could I possibly die?” Nems said, already preparing to make his move.

"Wait, wait, wait, what do you want to ask? Speak up." The demon named Salish spoke up immediately before Nemus could make a move.

Salish is a Campion demon.

Its entire body is red, and it has two horns on its head.

This demon also fits very well with human perceptions of demons.

One of the main reasons is that these demons are basically conceived by humans and demons.

Among the formal demons, there is one type called the Nightmare.

Nightmares are demons that are not particularly strong but are quite intelligent. They usually serve as advisors, torturers, or lovers to high-ranking demons.

Meanwhile, demon warlocks among humans also have a great fondness for summoning nightmares.

Because the Nightmare is a rare demon with a spiritual side, it possesses a great deal of knowledge about demons.

At the same time, nightmares are mostly indiscriminate in their acceptance of anyone, and they can perfectly combine with humans, causing human women to become pregnant.

If this human woman were in the abyss at that moment, she would have given birth to a Cambyon demon, not a human-demon hybrid.

The demon Cambyon isn't particularly strong. If it weren't for its ability to use some mental magic-like spells, it might be classified as a lesser demon.

The fact that Salishi was able to survive in the town for so many years, occupy a shack, and kill passing demons at will all indicate that he was no ordinary person.

Salish was in the intelligence business, and he always claimed that his nightmare father was an advisor to the demon lord in the City of Absurdity.

Of course, nobody cares about this.

Demons, beings that casually scatter their offspring, have absolutely no regard for blood relations.

Let alone their own children, even if it were their own mothers, they wouldn't feel any reluctance to eat it; they would only find it delicious.

Demons are like that, a group of beings devoid of any morality.

There are only two ways to deal with demons: fists or interests.

Nems had previously sought out this well-informed Salish in order to gather information.

Salish had initially wanted to take money from Nems, but after Nems beat him up, he wisely informed Nems of the situation.

The reason we didn't kill him was because this kind of guy, once he knows he's going to die, will definitely provide false information. Only by making him certain that he has a way out can we get him to tell the truth.

"Which side is the Clown King planning to attack this time?" Nemus asked.

“I guessed it was this.” Salish straightened his leather armor and said, “You’ve been in the material plane for the past two years, haven’t you?”

"I don't want much, just let me have some good stuff from the material plane... Don't do anything!!"

“You can’t always get something for nothing. Last time you got your autonomous passage to the material plane from me, so you have to pay me a consultation fee this time.” Although Salish knew he was no match for Nems and could be killed at any time, he still insisted on the consultation fee.

Clearly, he was confident in his information, and it was also a way for him to protect himself.

If Nemus continues to take advantage of others for free, not only will he be unable to do business, but some demons who previously sought information from him will also feel they have lost out and will then think he is weak and easily bullied.

One or two won't be a big problem, but if there are too many, he'll most likely fall.

“You do have some confidence now…” Nemus looked at a castle made of scorched earth and flesh and bones not far away, and realized the source of another part of his confidence.

"I didn't expect that you didn't change anyone, but instead the local city lord was replaced."

The lord of such a demon-infested city is usually a high-ranking demon.

The presence of high-ranking demons barely brought a semblance of order to this place.

When Nems captured Salish, he sensed a wisp of perception extending from within the city and resting there.

Clearly, the current city lord is Salish's backer.

Nems thought for a moment, then took out a berserk accessory and placed it in front of Salish.

Salish's eyes lit up, and he was about to reach out to grab it, but the next moment he felt a murderous intent surrounding his neck.

Without any embarrassment, he withdrew his hand, then grabbed a demon that had been lurking nearby and beat it to death. Only after making sure the other demons were far away did he reveal the information.

This time, Clown King's target has changed to the 333rd floor of the Abyss, formerly known as Flesh Canyon, but now renamed Twin Peaks.

Upon hearing the name, Nems immediately understood the reason.

One can't help but marvel at how fast news travels in the abyss, much faster than one might imagine.

In less than two months, some demon lords had already received news that the twin demons were injured.

And they are actively preparing to launch a war to take advantage of his weakness and kill him.

Nems did not reveal his connection to this matter.

As of now, no news has come back to me.

Different material planes exist within the abyss.

There are quite a few experts here.

If you're not careful, the Clown King might appear in front of you and then 'friendly' ask Nemus about information related to the Twin Demons.

Nems didn't linger; after tossing the berserk parts to Salish, he immediately left.

After Nems left, Salish didn't pay much attention to the berserk accessory.

He squinted and thought for a while.

They ran straight to the castle.

A nightmare is right here right now.
