I am fully capable of advancing to the Gold rank using this!

So, in the next step, Dartmanli instinctively wanted to use the sacred relic, the "Sacred Path," to activate the remaining power within it to help him defeat the White-tailed Fox and then complete his advancement in one go.

However, just as he was about to make his move, Datmenley regained some of his senses.

His purpose in wanting to have another golden seed in the family was to break the bloodline curse and allow the family to continue to thrive.

The Dartmenley family is now openly attacking church institutions. Even if he, the nominal head of the family, succeeds in his promotion, it will likely be difficult to quell the church's anger, and he will definitely be dealt with.

Only the Holy Son, who has broken away from his family and has little connection with it, is qualified to rebuild the Dartmenley family after becoming a Golden Seed.

The Church is not unaware that this is D'Artagnan changing his identity to come ashore, but when the person who comes ashore is someone like the Son of God, whose identity is complex yet whose nature is pure enough, he may be able to shed the sins of D'Artagnan now.

"Furthermore, and most importantly, this golden medicine is perfect because of the bloodline curse; it is perfectly suited to the bloodline curse."

"The bloodline curse within me has also manifested, turning me into a cursed being."

"Through this I might be able to become a Golden Seed, but it will be absolutely impossible to break the bloodline curse."

The moment he regained consciousness, Dartmenli immediately abandoned his plan to use the "Holy Path". If the Holy Son Nem was the main life vessel for the continuation of the family, then the "Holy Path" was the spiritual vessel for the continuation of the family.

It was because Saint Dartmanley walked the holy path that the saint was born and the family was established.

Given the current situation, I absolutely cannot continue to take advantage of the Holy Path, as this would completely destroy the sacred object.

"I am willing to succumb to the curse of my bloodline, but I would never want to become a sinner of my family!" This thought became the last rein for Dartmenley, controlling his out-of-control mind and body.

Dartmenli, whose body was covered in bone armor and bone spikes, held the Holy Path Sword. His entire being was a combination of cursed madness and calm determination. Therefore, apart from the bone armor and bone spikes, he still retained a certain human form.

Bloodshot eyes, seemingly fused to bone, trembled rapidly as they stared intently at the white-tailed fox retreating.

At this moment, the white-tailed fox wanted to tear off the layer of 'body' on her body, but found that there were already many bone spurs inside, linking her with Cecilia. If she wanted to break free, she would have to tear off a layer of skin herself.

Furthermore, those bone spurs possessed a special power that allowed them to penetrate even deeper into their bodies.

As this curse was activated, all the changes she could control with her magic body technique became ineffective.

Without the aid of the Golden Medicine's power, and without that hardening and softening ability, she would be nothing more than an ordinary steel creature.

It's unrealistic to try and take on Dartmenley.

Unlike other cultivators, the White-tailed Fox's physical body is extremely important because she cultivates the Body Technique. Once her body suffers irreparable damage, it will cause a double blow to both her body and mind.

Even if limbs are regenerated by divine magic afterward, it's useless; conventional healing magic cannot repair both the body and the mind simultaneously.

If the damage cannot be repaired simultaneously, the process will fail due to the incoordination of the physical body, the injury will remain forever, and her stats will be permanently missing a piece.

At this moment, as she watched Dartmenley approaching, her fear reached its peak.

Even so, she gritted her teeth and prepared for battle.

Because much earlier, her heart had already been overwhelmed by another kind of fear.

The sword blade flashed.

The sword suddenly became lighter, and the originally precise sword path went astray.

The blade sliced ​​through the outer layer of Cecilia's flesh, but did not harm the inner white-tailed fox.

'Pul' appeared not far away.

Unlike the previous Poole, the current Poole has a significantly improved level of fine control over his power.

And his entire demeanor instantly changed.

If Dartmanley had noticed the problem before, he wouldn't care now.

Nemus briefly tested the properties of the bone fins, assessed Poole's progress over this period, and then raised his hand. Some pebbles floated up under his control, fell into his hand, and condensed into a sword made of pebbles.

He then swung his sword, clashing with Datmenley's.

The sword, which was originally just a pebble, shattered in an instant.

Like tiny cannonballs, they pierced into Datmenli's bone armor.

This is the third time!

Chapter 245 Revealing a Card

With a flick of his wrist, Nemus caused all the pebbles to tremble and then break down further.

Some of them sank deeper into the ground.

At the same time, some small fragments flowed and rejoined each other.

A sword with slightly variegated scales appeared in Nemus's hand.

Dartmanley felt countless subtle forces coursing through his body.

It was as if he was about to lose the power to resist in an instant.

Secret Sword: Approaching the Beehive!

Using gravity to control the formation of stone fragments into a sword completely abandons the sword's toughness and conventional power transmission methods.

Essentially, it is a flying sword.

Poole's body is still quite good.

Among the three elements that constitute combat power—numerical value, characteristics, and skills—whale transformation brings about an increase in numerical value and characteristics.

The only problem lies in technique.

The key to skill lies in control and the understanding of power.

This is something that heavily relies on talent.

What ordinary people practice diligently for a lifetime, relying on practice to achieve mastery, is merely the beginning of a skill for a genius.

Because the other person's intentions were clever from the start.

When mind and body are in harmony, skills will improve steadily.

Poole's problem is that while his hands are steady and his control is decent, his mind is too reserved.

If your body is stable, then you can relax your mind.

Therefore, Poole's skills couldn't improve, and he could only rely on the power of his special ability and the clumsy method that Nemus had taught him—to sense pain and then fight back against it.

This also explains why, despite possessing top-tier abilities, he could only barely evade Dartmenley's attacks and maneuver around him, but rarely posed a fatal threat to Dartmenley.

However, with Nemus's 'descent and possession', the skill aspect was also completed.

The true power of the whale-transformed beings is unleashed.

Even if changes in weight cannot affect life force other than one's own, they introduce entirely new variables into the transmission of force by various substances, thus giving rise to countless variations in power.

And change is the foundation of skill.

"The most common technique is to use the body as leverage to generate more force."

"One lever can increase the multiplier."

Nemes swung his sword, the blade changing as he launched an attack on Dartmenley, while simultaneously teaching Poole a lesson.

Once again under the control of the hummingbird, Dartmanley was like a piece of meat on a chopping board.

Dartmenley reacted immediately, activating the Path of the Saint. Nemus's attack was immediately recognized as an obstacle and could not hit him. At the same time, some of the rubble that had been embedded in his body was squeezed out.

The dense, overwhelming feeling from before seemed to have lessened somewhat.

Dartmenley's sword, under the influence of the Path of the Saints, is about to reach Nemus first.

Then, in the next instant, Nemus moved his feet, took a step forward, and slightly touched Dartmenley's sword, cutting off a hair on his body, before retreating close to the blade.

In the process, Dartmenli's path to sainthood had already completed one of its attacks, and the power that had pushed everything away had vanished.

Since the enemy's ability is conceptual, as long as the conceptual requirements are met, even the smallest attack can be considered a completed attack.

Nemes flicked his hand.

The fragmented sword in his hand transmitted force as he swung it.

The power of each stone fragment shifted, piercing through Dartmenli's bone armor once more. A tingling, numbing power traveled through each fragment into Dartmenli's body.

Although Dartmenley's faith strengthened at this time, he also gained the power of the curse, and his various abilities were enhanced to varying degrees.

Even without using his own body, Nemus's fight seemed much easier.

Because compared to Dartmenley's progress, Nems has made more progress.

After each battle with the characteristics of the Path of the Saint, Nemus would have a lot of inspiration.

The next time he fights against a similar type of characteristic, he can always come up with a better way to deal with it.

“Well then, farewell, Patriarch Dartmenley…” Nemus said softly.

Dartmenli wanted to launch another attack and move forward again, hoping to draw upon the power of the Path of the Saints and remove the influence from his body.

However, the next moment, Nemes appeared in front of Dartmenley with a light touch of his toes.

Twisting his body, shifting his weight, the black spots covering his whale-skin-like arm became his most deadly weapon in that instant.

It easily pierced through Datmenley's bone armor, seized Datmenley's heart, and then pierced his back, revealing his still-beating heart behind him.

"Stop!" The shouts rang out at this moment, and the figures of the clergy appeared not far away, namely Isabella and Roman.

The fighting in the North District has been going on for some time, and the clergy were delayed because of the attack on the prison.

They weren't trying to save Datmenley, but rather because Daros was now dead.

Most of the Dartmenley family members who had escaped earlier were also dead.

There are still many questions regarding the Dartmentley family that need to be asked.

Datmenley cannot die at this point.

With a slight squeeze of the palm, the beating heart was crushed.

While divine magic can repair damage, it is only possible if the missing organs are not fatal and there is enough time for the divine magic to regenerate the limbs.

Otherwise, they'll still die even if they're destined to.

“I’m sorry you’re late, Ms. Isabella.” Poole withdrew his hand, and Dartmenley’s body slowly fell to the ground.

"Who are you?" Isabella suddenly sensed a familiar presence emanating from Poole.

"Long time no see." As he spoke, Poole's whale-like features disappeared, revealing his original appearance.

“Pur…!” some clergy exclaimed in surprise.

For the past six months, Poole has been following Nemes as a knight's squire. Although he is taciturn, many people have become aware of his presence.

They had absolutely no idea that the whale monster that was about four meters long was actually Pull in disguise.

"This...is this the Great Knight's hidden power?" someone murmured to themselves, feeling that their understanding of the world had changed.

“It’s you!” Isabella naturally recognized Poole as well, the little reserve village guard from back in the village of Dorsal Fin.

A flash of shock crossed Isabella's mind, and she immediately realized: "Are you trying to silence me? Is the Dartmenley attack on the prison related to you?"

“I don’t know anything about what you’re saying. All I know is that Dartmenley came to see her.” Poole said expressionlessly, then pointed to Cecilia (the white-tailed fox) standing to the side.

The white-tailed fox, with some bone formation on its body, also smiled at the right moment.

Chapter 246 Chips

Meanwhile, in the southern border region, Towns and Becky did not disappoint Naim.

Of the two of them, one was considered poor in combat ability, and the other was even worse.

On the contrary, Jacques seemed to have divine assistance under these circumstances. His combat abilities, which were originally only average, seemed to rapidly increase with the power passed down through his bloodline.

While fighting the two, he quickly discovered that there was something wrong with the space in this area and successfully found a way to escape.

When Jacques broke through numerous obstacles and left the underground park, he felt his entire being trembling.

Outside lies a free future; after being imprisoned for an unknown period of time, he has once again gained his freedom.

However, the next moment, a large amount of cursed power from the bloodline was directly poured in.

His sanity and his personality are being rapidly destroyed.

Having previously absorbed the power of the curse, he was now powerless to stop it all.
