The serpent demon grew even more greedy, and with its next strike, the original six swords seemed to bloom, instantly filling Nemus's vision with sword shadows.

Illusion Sword Technique: Sword Shadows Obscure the Eyes.

However, Nemus couldn't help but laugh at this swordsmanship.

The next instant, the blade trembled.

Secret Sword: Raven Feather - Modified!

The blade seemed to split instantly, yet the split blades were connected by arcs of lightning condensed from thunder energy.

Previously, Nemus had observed the illusion of the third team captain's lightning aura instantly shattering.

This indicates that lightning has a certain degree of effectiveness against illusions.

The countless sword shadows vanished instantly; the six swords, created to create the illusion of sword shadows, now revealed a flaw in Nemus's eyes.

Then he stabbed the six-armed serpent demon in the head with his sword.

Chapter 194 You're still a bit lacking when it comes to playing mind games with the devil.

However, the feel of this sword strike was still off.

The pierced phantom slowly dissipated, and the true body of the six-armed serpent demon had coiled up.

Multiple illusions are combined to cover up one's own attacks and defenses, creating a mix of reality and illusion.

With its body crouched low and its six arms flying, one has to admire the snake demon's incredible flexibility.

The combination of illusion and swordsmanship does indeed have certain advantages.

The attacks of a six-armed being are not something that ordinary people can stop, especially since some real attacks are replaced and concealed by illusions.

For someone with poor senses, they wouldn't even know when they were suddenly killed by a sword.

Nems, however, was different. He didn't rely entirely on senses like sight to judge the enemy's sword moves; he used 'calculation' instead.

In the clash of swords, he can judge the opponent's strength, the trajectory of the sword, and the opponent's specific attack posture by feeling the touch.

Furthermore, Nemes wasn't solely focused on defense.

Facing six swords, interspersed with illusions, no matter how well you defend, it's difficult to completely protect yourself, and mistakes are inevitable.

So the counterintuitive part is that at this point, a certain degree of offensive action is actually needed.

By launching attacks, they establish their own combat rhythm.

Faced with this kind of output, the six-armed serpent demon must take certain defensive measures and slow down its offensive pace.

Once he put on a defensive stance, his sword was restrained by Nemus's attack, and the sword paths of those other swords were pretty much set.

Of course, the most basic point in order to break the six-armed serpent demon's illusion sword technique with an offensive approach is that Nemus's sword can deal with the most complex attacks in the simplest way.

At the same time, a thrust should be made, posing a significant threat so that the opponent will use more of their sword for defense.

If your basic skills are inadequate and your numerical values ​​are insufficient, then this approach is simply suicidal.

The correct approach for ordinary people is for the third team captain to release sword energy from a distance without engaging in direct combat.

The six-armed serpent demon vanished in the next instant, and the six swords that had obscured the view also disappeared.

Illusion Sword Technique: The Invisible Sword!

The approach is the opposite of the previous "sword shadows obscuring the view." Instead of the sky being filled with sword shadows, all attacks, along with the swordsmen, vanish without a trace.

Nemus twisted his blade and pointed it at empty space.

Secret Sword: Sparrow Breaks the Sky!

The rapid swing of the sword cut through the air, forming a swirling white line around its body.

However, there was nothing around it.

Clearly, at this step, the six-armed serpent demon chose a different approach.

He has discovered that Nemus is able to accurately detect his attacks within the illusions by using both offensive and predictive abilities.

So what he needs to do most is not to maintain his previous fighting rhythm and launch a frenzied attack.

His advantage lies in his ability to withstand relentless attacks from others, which will eventually lead to their deaths.

However, his relentless attacks on Nemus only caused him to abandon all his illusionary advantages.

Therefore, the six-armed serpent demon deliberately did not follow its original attack rhythm.

When the invisible sword appeared, he did not actually launch an attack.

At this moment, Nemus's defensive sword technique had been unleashed, but the old power had been exhausted and the new power had not yet been generated. His body posture and the position of the sword revealed a large number of flaws.

"You're still a bit lacking when it comes to playing mind games with the devil."

In order for this attack to succeed, the six-armed serpent demon also used his rarely seen secret sword - the tail sword!

The tail controls its movements and cannot participate in combat for long periods of time, so this sword strike can only be used for a sneak attack.

The snake's tail, coiled around the longsword, pierced through Nemus from the bottom up after traversing the ground.

"Ah, I'll accept your soul..."

Before he could finish uttering the word "finished," Nemus's pierced body went ethereal and then vanished.

A sword pierced the body of the six-armed serpent demon, and the real Nemus appeared on the other side.

Secret Sword Technique: Illusion Sword Art: Brilliant Parrot!

The six-armed serpent demon's body gradually collapsed, and all the investments he had made in this body were in vain.

Although he won't truly die, returning to the abyss is another story.

Demons come into reality through contracts, requiring a special vessel or their own condensed body as a vessel.

When they are killed in ordinary circumstances, it is only the vessel that dies; their true bodies return to the abyss.

However, this does not mean that the demon has no losses. In order for the vessel to fully exert the demon's original value, it requires a long period of resource investment and a close connection with the original body.

Once the vessel is killed, the demon that retreats back to the abyss will also lose this investment.

And the body will definitely fall into a state of weakness.

This weakness is not the weakness of humans, but a special state of numerical deficiency.

The numbers are still there, but they are struggling to exert their full potential.

The demon needs to replenish itself with a large amount of other flesh and soul to complete the restoration and emerge from its weakness.

The more powerful a demon is, the stronger these weaknesses become.

Therefore, lesser demons are relatively easy to deal with, as they generally have difficulty forming closely connected entities. This weakness can be compensated for by hunting some magical beasts.

Of course, lesser demons are also weak in their protection against external forces. Sometimes, if they are killed by some slightly special means in the material plane, they are truly killed.

However, true demons are different; they need to hunt more lives to replenish themselves.

During this process, the demons in the abyss are not unnoticed individuals.

Every demon is a potential hunter and prey. They observe other demons, waiting for them to weaken for various reasons, while they themselves are likely also being observed.

After the six-armed serpent demon arrived in the material plane, it fell into a state of weakness. Once it began hunting life in large numbers, it would be difficult to conceal the fact that it might be in a weakened state.

He will inevitably become someone else's prey.

After sending his fellow countryman, the six-armed serpent demon, back to his hometown, Nemus looked in the other direction, sword in hand.

The old man in the archives of the adjudication team and Isabella barely managed to hold off the alien demon, Aro.

And at the very moment Nemus killed the six-armed serpent demon.

The standard demon, who had fought with other clergy and killed many people, let out a strange cry, broke free from the clergy, and headed towards the demon warlock.

"Ben, dispel the summons, I want to return to the Abyss!"

"What time is it, still thinking about infighting!" The demon warlock naturally couldn't agree to the standard demon's request. His Shadowfiend transformation ended in failure as he made his final attempt to kill the five team captains.

Unfortunately, as time went on, more and more support from the church arrived.

Due to space constraints, most of the priests who were not strong enough could no longer participate in the battle and began chanting hymns once again.

However, the Church ultimately held the advantage in terms of steel.

Although not all of them have arrived, most of them have come at this moment.

Several members of the Iron Race have formed a mutual protection network. Although the captain of the fifth team has lost most of his combat power, he is protected by a heavy array of divine spells and magic.

He was also protected by the second team captain, who had come over wielding twin hammers after dealing with most of the gargoyles.

Clearly, if this continues, he might not even be able to run away.

"Aro realm, cover our retreat, the deal is still valid!"

Chapter 195 Fall

The fact that Aro hadn't managed to kill the fifth team captain was something the demon warlock hadn't expected.

As a different kind of demon, Aro's value has reached over 190.

In other words, some newly promoted gold-tier individuals may not even have as high a stat as him.

However, that old codger who appeared out of nowhere truly blocked the path of Arhat.

Of course, it doesn't seem strange now.

The old man from the referee team had his shirt mostly torn, revealing his aged but not wrinkled skin.

When he was curled up, he looked thin and frail, but after the battle, his muscles bulged, making him appear exceptionally strong.

Even the aged skin on her face was stretched open, giving her a youthful vitality again.

On his naked body, Nemus saw countless holy nails and a powerful demon sealing array composed of several seals.

Although this guy is only a Steel-type, even Gold-type soldiers wouldn't dare to be too careless in actual combat.

Argos didn't seem to care when he heard the demon warlock's words.

He'll do anything as long as there's profit to be made.

As for that old human, all he needs to do is avoid being caught and killed along with it.

At most, his opponent could only restrict his movements. If the time dragged on a little longer, he would naturally be able to kill most of the people in the vicinity.

However, since the demon warlock himself had backed down, he was actually happy to see it happen.

Instead, I felt even happier.

The demon warlock's soul is corrupting.

Previously, the Demon Warlock firmly believed in his theory of success, thinking that as long as he succeeded, everything could be salvaged and everything could be under his control.

However, in his behavior and inner thoughts, he still retained that human thought—some things were very important to him.

This importance, to a certain extent, surpasses his own life, and at least in the short term, it makes him overlook this point.

For example, the demon warlock thought he could give up everything, but after the butler died, his inner emotions surpassed his concern for his own life and future.

That's why he used the soul of sin he had been so reluctant to part with as a bargaining chip, asking me to help him kill.

This emphasis on emotions is a human aspect of demon warlocks.

Now, under the threat of life and death, the human side is gradually suppressed, and reason and animalistic instincts reach a reconciliation.

The demon warlock who chose to retreat, faced with his conflicting choices, would naturally try to avoid the pain of admitting 'defeat'.

The easiest things to do are simply to shirk responsibility and to ignore or downplay the human emotions that came before.

He is currently an indispensable force for the demon warlock, and he cannot shirk responsibility. Therefore, he naturally made the choice to belittle his feelings for the butler.

Since Arojie no longer intends to attack, his movements become difficult to predict.

The speed generated by the numerical value of over one hundred is completely beyond what normal perception can achieve.

The demon warlock was completely shrouded in shadow, and a standard demon on the other side quickly came to his side to protect him.

The three demons then attempted to leave through the surging shadows.

But the next moment, a sword was already stuck in the ground.
