He never imagined that the true face of Amel, whom he admired and regarded as a goddess, would be like this.

Then I realized that Amel had no shortage of suitors. Even when Nemus was still around, members of the great noble families, such as his brother, had shown her a lot of interest.

However, after that incident, the pursuit of Emerald by the members of the noble families also disappeared.

Because those nobles all knew what had happened, they also learned Emerald's true identity.

No noble family would be willing to let such a woman marry into their family.

Agnelli now understood why his older brother always wore that pitying yet mocking expression whenever he saw him.

The truth is so ugly.

He became the most ridiculous part of it all.

“I originally thought you would have empathy for those at the bottom of society, but I was overthinking it.” Nemes shook his head, not arguing about right or wrong.

The existence of the world renders that approach unworkable, but humanity is still humanity, and the desire for happiness is not wrong.

But now all of this is meaningless.

"So, have you prepared your last words?" Nemus asked.

Nemes's long-decayed body is no longer sublime, and at this moment he has no intention of discussing the right or wrong of lofty ideals, so he no longer possesses a grand narrative, leaving only the simplest personal grudges.

"Die!" At that moment, Aimelu unleashed a spell she had prepared beforehand.

A barrage of sharp light needles flew towards Nems like raindrops.

Meanwhile, a sword of energy appeared in Nemus's hand, which he casually swung.

Those light needles had all disappeared.

"It's the real Moritorus!" Emerald exclaimed with delight.

The church sent them here for a very simple purpose.

It's all to attract hatred.

People's hatred for betrayers is instinctive.

When a traitor appears, the vigilant Nemus is highly likely to be drawn to him.

At this point, Nems had nowhere to escape.

“Nemus, you were besieged and captured here back then, and you will be the same today!” Aimelu said with a determined look as she watched Moritorus rush forward.

Chapter 309 The Saint

Without any hesitation, Moritolus charged toward Nemes.

He roared, and a thick crimson hue emanated from beneath his armor.

This made Nemus frown. Although Moritulus had been taciturn, he was not an irrational monster.

Most importantly, Nemus sensed the aura of an alien demon on Moritulus.

There aren't many mutant demons, since mutants are formed only when the soul is abnormal.

Instead, it gives people the feeling that alien demons are not very common.

"So, is there something unusual about Moriturus as well?" Nemus couldn't help but wonder.

He remembered that at the very beginning, Moritulus was only sealed with an ordinary, formal demon.

And these demons sealed by the church obviously cannot be changed at will.

"Or perhaps Moritulus's soul is special, which caused the demon to change during the process, transforming it from a regular demon into a different kind of demon."

"Or perhaps his body is special, capable of containing different demons, and he later captured a new, different kind of demon and sealed it away."

"Regardless of the type, with the Church's capabilities, it can strengthen him to the level of the first tier of Golden Seeds."

"But is that enough?" Nemus dodged Moriturus's charge, his aura sword easily slicing through Moriturus's armor.

The other party's true face, which they had never shown to others, could no longer be concealed.

Its entire body was covered in black scales, and its horns on its head and tail behind it had been cut off.

His hands, having been confined within the armor for so long, had become deformed, with countless pieces of flesh and scales crammed together.

The only thing that was 'normal' was probably his face.

It was the face of an ordinary middle-aged man; Nems vaguely seemed to have seen this face before.

With his current golden-seed-like memory, he quickly recalled it.

Does this face look like that of a fanatic in the church?

Nemus raised an eyebrow slightly, sensing something was amiss. He had read Moritorus's file, and Moritorus certainly didn't look like this before he was possessed by the demon.

However, there was no significant change in his aura or anything else.

Although there are some differences from before, the main theme is still Moritorus!

Even more eccentric than him was Moritorus.

The moment his true face was revealed, the reflection of the sword in Moritulus's hand allowed him to see his own face.

Then Moritolus's entire body began to undergo a dramatic change, emanating a blood-red aura.

He threw the sword aside and then grabbed his face with both hands.

The face, which was originally covered in these kneading and squeezing, changed rapidly.

"Aaaaaah!" Moritulus roared, and then his face was torn off, revealing not flesh and blood, but another face underneath.

A face that Nemes had seen in the Moritorus archives.

"Nemus, run!" At that moment, Moritulus's gaze became familiar: "I have a Saint's Secret Spell on me!"

After Moritolus said this, his face began to change again.

His skin and flesh writhed, and then a new face appeared on his face.

"Nemus, you're finally out! I'm going to kill you, wipe out your entire Anin family!!!" Moritulus screamed madly, his eyes and tone now completely different.

This person was once an enemy of the Anin family. When he sought revenge against Nemus, he was easily defeated by Nemus.

Nemes didn't kill him back then, but now he's inside Moritorus's body.

At this moment, Nemes had a general understanding of Moriturus's situation.

His body had become a hodgepodge, with various people possessing him for various reasons since the demon first possessed him.

Judging from some of the details, these people were possessed partly because of their special physical condition, and partly because the church was actively facilitating it.

And this incident most likely occurred during the period when he was betrayed.

“I knew it. No matter how bad I am, I wouldn’t be so bad that all my teammates would betray me.” Nemus smiled, ignoring Moritorus’s reminder.

"Although I don't know what the Saint's Secret Incantation is, you all seem to underestimate me!" Nemus's sword of energy changed.

"Let me cut you open and liberate the real Moritulus."

As soon as he finished speaking, a bright white light flashed within Moritulus's body, instantly piercing through Nemus's body.

Then these white lights continued to spread rapidly, attempting to penetrate the body and pierce the soul.

A figure also vaguely appeared at this moment.

This person was covered in various colors, including black and white, and his clothes were also different colors.

But the moment I saw this person, it seemed that only one color remained in my eyes—golden yellow!

Its flesh is golden yellow, and its blood is golden yellow!

This is a way for people to praise a saint.

This figure was none other than the Saint!

When it comes to matters of great importance concerning God, Nemus, who was sacrificed to become a prayer angel, has become a different kind of demon, and his prayer angel body has become his clone.

In this situation, if Nemus cannot be found among the Gold-type, how could they possibly only send a few Steel-type?

Saints, as representatives of God, are bound to appear.

If we can capture Nemus, we might be able to find out what really happened in the Abyss.

So that in the process, they could do their utmost to help God recover.

"Indeed cunning!" With a wave of his hand, the pierced Nemus had changed his appearance.

Although he had never met the person before, he knew their identity at a glance.

He was a local Ironblood paladin from Nanping Town who had his memories completely rewritten not long ago.

She was then manipulated and became Nemus's stand-in.

Although they are connected, they are not the same person.

“But in order to make it realistic, you still used his body and used a technique similar to ‘descent’. These traces…” The sage saw through everything.

Then suddenly he discovered that all the traces had disappeared.

The saint narrowed his eyes, and countless things changed, the past and the future intertwined in that instant.

However, he still found no trace of Nemes.

It was as if, in an instant, everything about Nemus had been banished from the world.

The saint was not angry. He looked around and found some clues to the dream.

But upon closer inspection, it turns out that they were all planted unintentionally by a man named Phaethon, and they themselves had no connection with Nems.

The key point is that this dream spell is still in effect, but where have Phaethon and those followers of the fabricated agreement gone?

Chapter 310 Pupil Lake (Bonus Chapter 6/10)

A void of independent time.

Nemes stood still, while Isabella remained unchanged opposite him.

She gazed at Nemus, her eyes still filled with complex emotions.

As for Phaethon, Downs, and the members of those fictitious agreements, they have all been reduced to fleeting silhouettes in time, stored in this void of independent time.

“It seems that such an event is already the limit that ‘Knotting Records’ can currently store.” Nemus had studied it and found that the ‘Knotting Records’ feature could only store ‘one thing’ most of the time.

This "event" roughly corresponds to the battle that took place in the Sky Curtain area of ​​Baiwei Town at that time.

The same applies to the length of time; as long as it stays within the scope of one thing, there shouldn't be much of a problem.

Therefore, it is also a matter for Fahrenheit to cooperate with Nemus in mobilizing the fictional agreement and using dream magic to test Emerald and the others.

In this matter, Nemes was able to 'memorize' most of the elements.

The storage time is...infinite.

That's right, Nemus has not yet discovered the storage limit of "knot-tying record-keeping".

Of course, this also has a limitation: as long as a knot is not untied, no matter the time or the size of the event stored in the knot, Nemus cannot store a new time.

Nemes speculated that one reason was that the time of independence was not 'large' enough, and another reason was that the rope of oath was not long enough on a time scale to be tied continuously.

Another key point in this process is whether the target cooperates.

If the target cooperates, Nemus can temporarily keep them in the time silhouette, preventing them from continuing to appear in normal time.

Conversely, if the target does not cooperate, then forcibly keeping it in the time silhouette will only lead to unstable storage time.

As for what will happen if things continue as they are, Nemes doesn't know yet.

He plans to continue exploring this topic once he has a better understanding of time.

Therefore, at this moment, no trace of Naimus could be found in Nanping.

Saints may be able to see the world and gain revelation, foresight, and other abilities through their insight.

However, a saint is ultimately just a saint, not a true mythical being.

They also couldn't fathom the power of time and were unable to accurately locate Nemes amidst these events.

But a saint's time is very precious.
