Suddenly, a large number of tree vines rose up and quickly wrapped around the three demon warlocks.
At the same time, countless vines and branches swayed continuously, and all the shadows began to change rapidly at this moment.
That's when the three demon warlocks' shadow leaps stopped.
Shadow Jump is not a spatial ability; it simply uses shadows as a medium for movement.
Therefore, the medium of shadow cannot change too quickly.
Nemus keenly sensed this, and the power of the Forest Sword to summon the growth of trees, an ability that seemed somewhat useless to him, came in handy at this moment.
Upon closer inspection, one will find that the roots of those plants, anchored in the ground, absorb the power of the shadows to some extent.
The sealing technique, using the opponent's own weapon against them, is in operation.
The vines and trees summoned by the Forest Sword are not simple things.
Otherwise, this sword could not be called the Forest Sword.
"Damn it!" The demon warlock gritted his teeth, unleashing a burst of dark demonic aura from his entire body, attempting to create a black environment once again to envelop everything around him and stabilize the shadow medium with complete darkness.
From beginning to end, he never really thought much of Naimus, the great knight.
He's just a nobody who's been promoted to the Steel Ranks for a little over six months.
The swordsmanship is touted as amazing, but it's probably just so-so.
Perhaps they have the means, or perhaps they have connections in Qiquan City.
But so what? His strength far surpasses Nemus's.
Previously, he believed that only Rhine and another 'old codger' could threaten him in Tailwind Town.
Even if Nemus were to arrive, he would only be an ordinary paladin with decent swordsmanship.
But this Nems, whom he didn't even consider a threat, first killed one of his generals, and now prevented him from escaping.
It's just that the timing isn't right today, otherwise he would have made Nems pay the price!
"You just wait!" the demon warlock said threateningly, then completed the expansion of darkness. Sensing that the shadows had stabilized, he prepared to truly leave.
However, Nems will not give the other party that chance.
“Stay here.” Nemus flicked his wrist, and the sword was now held upside down.
Secret Sword: Dark Raven Crossing!
A flash of sword light pierced the curtain of darkness.
Nemus had already appeared beside the demon warlock.
Arojie's eyes flickered slightly, and he took action.
With a flick of his finger, a surge of energy emerged, attempting to halt Nemus's movements.
However, in the next instant, Arojie reacted and his figure flashed to the other side.
But this Nemes suddenly flickered for a moment and then disappeared.
It's still the Illusion Sword Technique!
This time, however, it was combined with the Dark Raven Crossing.
The real Nemes has appeared on the other side.
With a sword thrusting upwards, penetration became inevitable.
The demon warlock felt as if he were trapped in place, unable to move at all, and even his thoughts seemed to have become somewhat stiff.
The aura of death, like ravens, had already circled and locked onto him.
At this moment, he felt that he was not facing swordsmanship, but rather a 'death spell' disguised as swordsmanship.
The shadows on the demon warlock's body shifted constantly, but they were essentially ineffective, piercing through instantly with the sword.
Swordsmanship and magic have been combined, with the sword as the edge and the magic as the blade.
The demon warlock kept manipulating the shadows, trying to cast spells with his limited mental energy, but suddenly discovered that all the shadows around him were trembling.
It's like water placed on a vibrating copper plate.
"Oh no!" He's having trouble controlling the Shadow Demon.
Chapter 196 I Will Come Back to Find You
Although demon warlocks can practice some spells, their main combat power lies in demons.
However, demons are too difficult to control.
Therefore, most demon warlocks will try their best to completely control a demon.
This demon warlock chose the Shadow Demon, a demon with extremely powerful functionality.
He suppressed the Shadow Demon's personal will through various means, using it as a puppet tool.
However, Nemus's sword seemed to have struck a crucial spot, and the Shadow Demon was seriously injured. Due to the combined effects of the injury and the breakdown of its control mechanisms, the Shadow Demon was on the verge of losing control and might bite back at any moment.
This is one of the problems with demon warlocks: they are powerful, but the various backlashes they suffer from should not be underestimated.
"But why, why is Naim so lucky, hitting the Shadow Demon's key spot exactly!" The demon warlock still doesn't know how Naim did it.
The Shadow Demon uses shadows as its vessel, and its body is entirely black, making it difficult to discern the location of its core using ordinary perception.
The church does have a relatively in-depth understanding of demons, but could it be more in-depth than a warlock who specializes in studying demons?
However, Nemus accomplished it with a single strike.
The same principle applied to the interference with the shadows earlier; it hit him precisely in his key positions, causing his escape to fail.
It was as if Nemes had been studying him for some time.
"Arod, even if I die, you won't get away with it!" The demon warlock shouted at Arod while trying to calm the shadow demon.
In this situation, only the realm of Arhats can save him.
The fear in his heart was growing, and the demon warlock had no choice but to abandon his previous composure and pride.
Previously, he possessed the advantage of the Shadow Demon; as long as the Shadow Demon was not interfered with, he could attack or retreat at any time.
None of the people who could openly challenge him showed up.
He naturally felt no fear and had strong confidence in everything.
But now, all that confidence is gone.
The appearance of Nems enabled precise strikes.
Aro sensed the demon warlock's panic, but did not, as previously thought, choose to take the opportunity to lower the price and extract more sin souls from the demon warlock.
He looked at Nems, his gaze gradually turning serious.
This was an expression she hadn't shown when facing that old man from the referee team before.
Nems's stats weren't high for him, only a third of his.
However, what happened just now was completely beyond his expectations, and he could vaguely sense that another special power seemed to be surrounding Nemus.
Under that kind of power, the opponent's actual combat strength might be much higher than imagined.
Most importantly, the Arhats can sense that they might be able to obtain what they want from it.
The most difficult part for mutants is promotion.
Their values exceed the extreme values of their rank, but the difficulty of promotion is also the same.
The reason why the Aro realm signed a contract with the demon warlock was to seek opportunities for advancement.
At that moment, he vaguely sensed an opportunity from Nemes.
And the more this is the case, the more he values it.
The golden potions concocted by the demon warlocks were worthless in his eyes. Since Nemus could master something that surpassed even the golden potions, he could not be underestimated under any circumstances.
And judging from those previous attacks, Nemus is indeed no ordinary person.
"I wanted to save you too, but it seems it's too late." Arojie's movements stopped, and he couldn't help but feel unlucky, letting out a sigh.
Having finally found a target, my ability to act freely is now being restricted.
The next moment, Nemus appeared in front of the Demon Warlock, a large amount of shadow enveloping Nemus. This was something the Demon Warlock was very familiar with—short-range shadow leap!
At this moment, a black thing was clinging to Nemus's sword.
The most striking leap in spirit and will is the Shadow Fiend himself.
Nemus's sword strike not only broke his control over the Shadow Fiend, but also severed a portion of the Shadow Fiend's will.
That part of the will became the biggest traitor.
"No!" The shadow that was once his greatest advantage had now become a means of binding him.
"Shadow Fiend, you can't do this! If I'm killed, you'll be weakened too, and you won't survive in the Abyss!" The Demon Warlock frantically transmitted his mental energy, trying to persuade Shadow Fiend with the promise of mutual benefit.
This time, however, Shadow Fiend's will was exceptionally firm.
With a single slash, a line of blood appeared in the middle of the demon warlock's body.
The bone mask on his face shattered, revealing the face of Czech de Beng.
He looked at Nems in disbelief, never expecting to lose so badly.
In terms of his fight against Nemus alone, he believed he could take on three Nemus by himself.
However, the result was that Nemus dealt with him in just three sword strikes.
The first sword strike, the Forest Sword, summoned trees and vines to temporarily restrict his shadow leaps.
The second sword strike sliced through the darkness, breaking his control over the Shadow Fiend and, in turn, drawing out a trace of the Shadow Fiend's spiritual will.
The third sword strike, aided by the Shadow Fiend's short shadow leap, appeared beside him and casually sliced through all his defenses and life-saving measures, ending his life.
It may not sound difficult, but it's like asking an ordinary person how to kill a tiger. The answer is: a knife and a slide tackle.
Everything in every step was illogical.
For example, how did Nemus discover that drastic changes in shadows would interfere with shadow jumps? How did Nemus find the Shadow Fiend's core so easily? And how did Nemus persuade the Shadow Fiend to cooperate in completing the shadow jump, thereby avoiding the Demon Warlock's strongest protection - Arogar?
The demon warlock's unwilling eyes gradually dimmed, and his body, no longer bound by the Shadow Fiend, instantly collapsed to the ground.
The standard demon on the other side let out a helpless roar. As the contract disappeared, he was forcibly sent back to the abyss.
At this moment, however, a strange power surged through Arojie's entire body.
This force forcibly enveloped the Aro realm, causing him to remain temporarily in the material plane.
He didn't make a move against Naimus. He clearly understood that he couldn't take Naimus down in this short amount of time.
"I will come back for you!" Aro said, his body already rushing towards the edge, and the clergy who tried to block his way were basically unable to stop him.
Furthermore, given the current situation, he probably won't be able to stay in the material plane for long, so risking his life just to stop him for a moment is not worthwhile.
The next moment, numerous black veins appeared on the faces of the indistinguishable men and women in the Aro realm.
Then, the person's mouth inexplicably opened, and then rapidly expanded, revealing a giant white egg the size of a human head inside.
Chapter 197 What Happened Afterwards (Please Subscribe!)
A giant white egg flew across the sky and then quickly disappeared.
Meanwhile, Arojie stared intently at Nemus with a terrifying look in his eyes, completely ignoring the copious amount of viscous fluid oozing from the corner of his mouth.
Then, the realm of Aro disappeared and returned to the abyss.
In a terrifying space filled with black, red, gray, and yellow hues, Arojie narrowed his eyes, sensing the familiar abyssal aura, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Then the terrifying impact spread outwards, crushing several small demons that had come after hearing the commotion into dust.
Having completed his daily killing spree, Arojie felt much better and then headed away to the side.
Both the six-armed serpent demon and the shadow demon are in a weakened state, while the standard demon itself is unharmed and can most likely evade detection through various methods.
The abyss is vast and has countless layers.
However, for convenience, demon warlocks will choose the same level for summoning and contracting demons. This not only makes summoning easier but also reduces mental stress.
