Demon Bible-Chapter 50: Taking Action

Countless black threads erupted from Op's body, forming a dark mass of filaments that met the monster's charge head-on.
The writhing black threads instantly shot their sharp tips forward upon impact, attempting to pierce into Pur's body.
Yet beneath the Tough Skin, these black threads proved too weak.
Soon however, these threads displayed remarkable intelligence, swiftly redirecting toward the orifices on Pur's body.
They sought to invade his system through these vulnerable points.
Pur showed no panic whatsoever.
With extreme calmness, he mobilized the power within his body—the deep well water.
This was the power of the village guard system, though Naimes had now developed its whale transformation capabilities.
Even before whale transformation, this power had always provided village guards with strength and various resistances.
Village guards routinely faced dangerous creatures, with Nest Beasts being among their frequent encounters.
Before becoming a full village guard, Pur had dared to wear just leather gloves while capturing and tormenting Nest Beasts.
Now, with the deep well water fully unleashed within him, his interior resembled that very deep well.
An ethereal yet profoundly cold aura emanated from within his body.
The Nest Beast threads preparing to invade immediately recoiled and retreated as if encountering their natural predator.
This represented the deep well water's most fundamental power—resistance.
Whether dealing with Whale Transformation Disease or dangerous creatures like Nest Beasts, their direct offensive power wasn't particularly strong;
their true danger lay in their troublesome infection capabilities.
Whale Transformation Disease could infect others through Whale Song, while Nest Beasts could use black hairs as embryos to parasitize hosts.
This constituted their real threat.
The deep well water's ability to resist these dangers while providing considerable numerical value demonstrated why the village guard system flourished across various regions.
However, Op's objective wasn't to solve problems by having Nest Beasts parasitize Pur. Though lacking in combat decision-making, he maintained sufficient clarity of mind.
He naturally hadn't overlooked Pur's status as a reserve village guard.
His summoning of Nest Beasts served another purpose—
Dark shadows emerged directly from the ground, charging toward Pur.
Since combat began, Op had continuously adjusted his position through retreat.
By now, he stood within the 'human' cluster.
His subordinates had previously shot numerous villagers with arrows, and these villagers who had joined the search with the village guards now became tools controlled by Nest Beasts after death.
Nest Beast threads penetrated deep into the corpses' muscles, manipulating their movements through stimulation, pulling, and other methods.
Moreover, these Nest Beast threads, cultivated by Op, could enhance, heal, mentally control, and grant a unique sensory perception system to host bodies after parasitism.
Pur swung his fists at these parasitic vessels, but except for the few slower ones that got hit, most parasitic vessels dodged in advance, evading Pur's punches.
Pur's whale-like eyes blinked rapidly, quickly locking onto the fine black hairs covering these parasitic vessels' surfaces.
These delicate hairs proved extremely sensitive to air currents and other creatures' emitted breath, enabling rapid danger perception and prompting the parasitic vessels to react.
"So that's how it is. Perhaps this is why Tangs hasn't been able to secure victory yet?" Pur speculated.
Reality confirmed this assumption.
All four enemies facing Tangs were agility-based types.
The two half-bodied people aside, even the two previous desperadoes fell into this category.
After Tangs punched through another person's chest cavity and the Nest Beast activated to repair it, both their perceptions became exceptionally sharp. The four coordinated so well that nearly all of Tangs' attacks missed.
Comparatively speaking, Tangs lacked the village guard's ruthless determination and Pur's natural talent.
What he possessed was merely the demon-given power and—an intense desire for revenge.
Though not truly injured from the repeated attacks landing on him, the persistent pain felt entirely real.
He simply gritted his teeth and endured.
Currently, he felt extremely uncomfortable throughout his body, even entertaining thoughts of immediate escape more than once.
However, he quickly dismissed all such notions.
On one hand, Naimes' figure remained deeply ingrained in Tangs' psyche—he felt fear, reverence, and trust toward Naimes.
As long as Naimes existed, he dared not disobey Naimes' commands.
On the other hand, revenge motivated him.
"Ahhh, is it ready yet, Kullog!" Tangs mentally wailed in agony while questioning Kullog.
"Endure a bit longer. Long-distance pain transmission involves significant pain reduction."
"Still need to accumulate more..."
"Moreover, I can sense the master approaching. You wouldn't want to lose face before him, would you?" Kullog subsequently spoke.
These words made Tangs shudder, his inner fear overwhelming his physical pain.
Tangs immediately gritted his teeth and endured, simultaneously scanning his surroundings. As he looked at the four opponents, his mind filled with visions of turning the tables and triumphantly crushing them all beneath his feet.
After enduring several more attacks.
Kullog's "Ready" became the floodgate key unleashing Tangs' torrent of desire.
The next instant, Tangs' eyes turned crimson. Without hesitation, he charged toward the person whose neck he had previously crushed.
That person immediately sensed danger, rapidly retreating to evade, while the other three positioned themselves differently, coordinating attacks to interrupt Tangs' pursuit.
Yet precisely at this moment, a dark aura suddenly expanded outward from Tangs' entire body.
A half-bodied person who had approached too close immediately felt unbearable pain, their agile movements becoming out of control.
Tangs grinned viciously, turning and delivering a straight kick toward the half-bodied person's head.
Seeing this, the other half-bodied person immediately lunged forward, grabbing Tangs' leg from the side.
Becoming a human cushion, they prevented the kick from directly exploding the first half-bodied person's head.
Instead, both half-bodied people went flying simultaneously.
Victory had been decided!
At this very moment, a holy knight with a sword at his waist, slender build, and smiling expression approached.
An oppressive force stronger than even the four-meter-tall Pur radiated from him, capturing everyone's attention.
Pur ignored the ongoing battle, immediately dropping to one knee. Though his head remained unbowed, it was filled with loyalty toward Naimes.
Tangs, who had just secured victory, reacted slightly slower but immediately abandoned further offensive plans, kneeling on one knee with bowed head, not daring to act presumptuously.
The only one still moving in the area was Aro.
He didn't understand why the village guard had stopped;
he only knew he must capture him.
His blade danced in his palm, all his power concentrated at the knife's tip. With the village guard motionless, he had already aimed at the vital point, certain he could capture his target with one strike.
Yet in the next instant, a sword thrust from an awkward angle.
Blade met blade, a clever force numbing Aro's hand and sending his knife flying.
