Devil's Bible

Chapter 460 The Future of Swordsmanship
"Any other tricks up your sleeve? Feel free to use them!" Nemus asked.

Nemus brandished his sword, unleashing a strike with a value of nine thousand.

Faced with this sword strike, both of Alaros's heads instantly became extremely solemn.

The flesh and blood throughout the body proliferated and hardened, and only after this hardened flesh and blood broke open a large gash was it barely able to defend against it.

All I can say is that at this moment, Nemus is the biggest monster.

Its stats are slightly weaker than traditional demon lords, but this weakness will likely be overcome soon, and it possesses a variety of top-tier traits.

Most importantly, it's about technique. Luck is so crucial; it significantly raises the bar for Nemus's skill level.

Otherwise, Nemus wouldn't be able to maintain his technology multiplier at this moment.

He was, after all, just a sword saint; to be bold, he could call himself the number one swordsman in the material plane in the present era.

To be more modest, one can only say that one has made a name for oneself in history.

Swordsmanship alone is still too weak.

Nems sighed with emotion.

Fortunately, the Sword of Fortune has been promoted during this period.

Countless swordsmen are practicing this swordsmanship, continuously providing Nemus with inspiration and nourishment.

This also allowed Nemus's swordsmanship to improve constantly.

At present, he actually has three directions to develop his swordsmanship.

Alalos let out a frenzied roar, and then began to grow flesh and blood at an alarming rate.

This flesh and blood then transformed into a large number of insects, which rushed toward Nemus with a strong forbidden aura.

Upon closer inspection, each one seemed to possess power approaching that of a Gold-ranked creature, and exhibited the three characteristics of a Calamity Creature. Even a novice Gold-ranked individual might not be able to defeat them.

But at this moment, these insects surged toward Nemus like a tidal wave.

Most importantly, the insects' scents are connected.

An ordinary attack, once it lands, will instantly be distributed among all these insects.

This minimizes the damage from the attack, thus neutralizing it.

It can be said that, using this method, the cumulative tolerance of these insect swarms to certain types of damage can reach tens of thousands or more.

It requires the kind of wide-ranging, shadowy strangulation of Atata to destroy it, which is precisely the nemesis of swordsmanship.

Seeing this, Nemus remained calm and swung his projection sword.

The first direction – transportation!

Swordsmanship skills, by their very nature, have limitations. To increase those limits, you need to increase leverage.

Luck, one of the fundamental rules of the world, is the best leverage, but luck alone is not enough.

It can only allow the Sword of Fortune to catch up with some spells, and its multiplier is still slightly lower than some top-tier spells.

Therefore, we need to delve deeper!

Nemus took a deep breath and then swung the sword in his hand.

Fortune was formed at this moment, and the sword unleashed terrifying power the instant it was swung.

Even with many insects sharing the burden, a large number of insects still died at once.

"This swordsmanship!" Alaros, who had a certain connection with the insects, also sensed something at this moment.

In that instant, he seemed to see countless swords being wielded.

Each of those swords was different; some were clumsy, some were agile, some were exquisite, and some were inferior.

But in any case, these swords are gradually merging into one.

This is what Nemes calls in-depth operation.

It is also the fourth stage of the universal version of the Sword of Fortune - Sword Fortune!
The connection formed by all those who cultivate the sword of destiny is this sword destiny.

As time goes on, this luck will grow larger and deeper, essentially establishing a unique pool of luck specific to the sword.

From then on, those who cultivate the Sword of Destiny can not only activate their own destiny, but also establish a connection with the elements of heaven and earth to form destiny, and the two combine to form their own path of swordsmanship.

It can also draw upon the sword luck inherent in the sword technique of the Sword of Luck.

It's like having an additional type of luck-generating power, an extra lever to increase the multiplier.

This can also solve, to some extent, the predicament of insufficient elemental power in the natural environment at the ten-thousand-level threshold.

Seeing that his sword strike had failed to kill the insects, Nemus shook his head.

The Sword of Fortune has been passed down for too short a time and has not yet accumulated enough sword fortune. Perhaps I will need to find a way to pass on a secret technique that allows people to actively help accumulate sword fortune.

The more help you accumulate and the more contributions you make, the more sword energy you can draw from the sword energy pool.

This creates a positive feedback extreme value.

Thinking of this, Nemus swung his sword again.

And this sword strike is the second path of swordsmanship that Nemus has explored—concept!
The sword is clearly a concept.

Nemus wouldn't be surprised if there were a conceptual sword lord in the abyss.

As a concept derived from man-made weapons, the sword has been endowed with many qualities and meanings, and these qualities and meanings have shaped the concept of the sword.

If one follows the conceptual training method, it involves constructing the rules of the sword, gradually absolutizing those qualities and meanings, and then controlling all concepts related to the sword.

The force of leveraging physical assets has shifted to the force of concepts.

“A sword is a weapon of killing, so if you are killed by a sword, you will die!” The sword that Nemus was wielding was given some conceptual meaning at this moment.

And so, many of the insects that had surged forth again were killed by the sword.

But it's still not enough.

Alalos sensed something and continued to frantically generate insects, his aura rapidly connecting with them.

Under the influence of alchemy, streams of power are being channeled.

Clearly, he was planning to use this opportunity to deliver a final blow using some special technique.

He had determined that ordinary moves were useless against Nemus, so he decided to concentrate his strength and fight to the death!
The only bone spine he hadn't used before was rapidly changing.

Nemus sheathed his sword, realizing that his understanding of concepts was still too shallow.

That's why this sword strike failed to follow the connection and kill all the insects.

He had never truly delved into concepts before, and what he used this time was the insight gained by another sword saint after obtaining the Sword of Fortune.

This also cannot be considered his path.

It can be used as a reference, but it should not be taken as the primary guideline.

and so……

Nemus raised his sword, aiming it at Alalos.

There is a third path in the path of swordsmanship.

The moment they were aimed, both of Alalos's souls felt a sharp, piercing aura penetrate their very being.

A feeling arose within him that a sword was already at his neck.

The essence of a sword is a weapon, and the essence of swordsmanship is the technique of using this weapon.

So there's no need to think about it too much.

Nemes' third option was to cram everything that could be crammed in.

Use the sword to bear and unleash these powers.

Whether it's luck, a concept, or other characteristics of Nemus, forge them into a sword, and then use that sword.

This is what it means for everything to be a sword!
