His body in this city of silver is nothing more than a condensation of a dream that is both real and unreal.

It's not even comparable to Meng He's consciousness in the Dream of the Moon Goddess.

“In this respect, the curse on me is constantly changing.” Nemus immediately and keenly sensed this.

After confirming that the corpse was Saint Dartmenley, Nemus felt that he would inevitably become connected to the transmutation ritual of the entire Silver City.

After all, the entire ritual was based on the spirit corpse.

"The key point is, what kind of connection will my curse have with the corpses of the underworld..." Nemus sensed the fluctuations of the curse.

This fluctuation radiates from the body on the other side of reality, forming a special connection.

This connection is constantly strengthening.

"Won't I become the representative of the Corpse of the Dead and an obstacle to the entire Philosopher's Stone alchemy?" Nemus felt that the probability of this happening was getting higher and higher.

After sensing for a moment, Nemus continued walking forward.

With this step, the connection to the ceremony became much clearer.

However, at this moment, Nemus noticed movement coming from the bushes on both sides.

Then two monsters rushed out from both sides.

These two monsters were very familiar; their appearance, shrouded in an aura of calamity, clearly indicated that they were dangerous creatures.

One of them was an old friend—the Nest Beast.

The black fur on the nest beast twitched slightly, as if it were alive.

Compared to the nest beasts on the back of the floating whale, the nest beasts here have been slightly enhanced.

In terms of strength, it's no longer something that can be solved by the previous black stone species.

Even ordinary steel products require careful handling; a single misstep could lead to disaster.

Nemes even recorded some of the unique insights, intending to pass them on to Op when he had time.

As a summoning wizard, Op has been at the Iron-type level for quite a while.

The blood vessels of the Nest Beast are one of its fundamental components.

If we can take this a step further, then perhaps there is a slight chance of reaching the golden level.

Of course, if the Philosopher's Stone can be forged, then the possibility of Op becoming a Gold-type will increase significantly.

The Philosopher's Stone is something that can completely alter the material plane.

"The whole world has been upside down for far too long."

"Gods reside in the upper realms and have little access to the material planes, yet they manage to control all numbers and resources through various means."

"The whole world is shaped like an inverted pyramid, and it's extremely top-heavy."

According to Nemus's current understanding, if most of the gods could be killed, the entire world would instantly escape the end times and enter a state of revival.

In this respect, the sun god probably thought the same thing.

He had been unhappy with the other gods for a long time.

This is His world.

As the most powerful god, He couldn't even get a third of the world's share; the rest was all eaten by other gods.

If they don't intend to kill them, do they expect the sun god to thank them?!

In this case, the philosopher's stone is also a good thing.

It can greatly enhance the spiritual foundation of mortals in the material plane.

If we could break the current value range of gold and allow the value of ordinary gold to reach one thousand to ten thousand, then the imbalance in the world would probably not be so severe.

Of course, improper use of the philosopher's stone can also bring danger.

First and foremost, this thing is feared by fate.

Those golden seeds back then were truly formidable; they must have dismantled countless numbers to create a world-class catastrophe like the Abyss.

The reason why gold is weak now is twofold: firstly, its value range has fallen to the first level, and secondly, its understanding of the rules of the world has declined considerably.

Once this philosopher's stone is completed, it may be possible to produce an authentic golden seed.

If this kind of golden seed wants to cause trouble, it might actually be able to overturn the prime material plane.

Besides that, the biggest fear for the Philosopher's Stone is that it might fall into the hands of the gods.

The world was already top-heavy; if the Philosopher's Stone, representing the 'authority' of mortal limits, were also seized by the gods, it would only exacerbate the imbalance in the world.

As Nems pondered this, he gradually began to grasp the meaning of fate.

The philosopher's stone is not that it cannot emerge from the world, but rather that it should emerge slowly, gradually, and systematically.

At the very least, the Philosopher's Stone must generate enough revenue to restore a certain degree of balance to the world.

At the same time, we cannot allow any lawless elements to emerge in the material plane, causing large-scale destruction and disrupting the world order.

Realizing this, Nemus dodged the attacks of the two dangerous creatures and entered his turn.

Draw a card!

Chapter 738 Three Paths

This is one of the rare card battles that Nemus has engaged in, a direct confrontation.

Because most of the cards Nems needs are sword-type cards.

Swordsmanship, however, is a concept acquired later in life.

In previous events, since most of the NPCs were somewhat rational, Nemus was able to complete the game without much effort.

After all, having rationality means having basic judgment.

What Nems possessed was indeed an immense treasure to them.

In exchange for this, Nemus is much easier to complete than Death Valley.

This is the first time I've experienced such a purely exhilarating combat event.

Nemus now has two options: use his core card.

The core card doesn't need to be drawn; it's inside your body and can be used at any time.

However, using core cards directly can also lead to a problem: it takes up a slot for drawing cards.

Often, in card battles, you don't just draw a card and use it immediately.

Instead, it's about holding cards in your hand appropriately.

Once you have the key cards, unleash them in one combo to kill the enemy.

Using a core card reduces your card draw chance by one.

It can only be said that although the battles in Card Player are not turn-based, there is still a concept of 'one action' time limit.

Within a single action, some things conflict with each other.

Nems naturally wouldn't use the core card directly.

He held the sword in one hand, and with the other hand he made a gesture, and a card flew out of the slot and landed in his hand.

You don't even need to look at it to know what the card is.

[Sound of Wind Cutting]

【★★★】

[Type: Skill Enhancement, Belief Enhancement]

[Usage Requirements: Swordsmanship skills and willpower must meet the required standards]

[Upon drawing this card, you can directly apply a status effect that allows you to interrupt enemy attacks when attacked. If your willpower is sufficient, you can even interrupt spells. Furthermore, each time you interrupt an enemy's attack, you can launch a slash with extremely fast and silent sword speed.]

[Restriction: You must have a sword in your hand and an opening to strike.]

[Origin: Death Valley, Helans?]

Originally, [Wind Slash] was just a decent two-star card, but now, thanks to Nemus's guidance, it has become a three-star card, and its quality is even capable of becoming the core card for most people's defense and counterattack.

After drawing the card, Nemus casually loaded it for himself.

The enhanced nest beast pounced on Nemus like a shadow.

If no cards are loaded, Nemus can only dodge, defend, or force an attack based on his own base stats.

This combat style dictates that cards determine everything.

and so……

Like the wind, and like the light.

The enhanced nest beast's body was instantly sliced ​​in two.

The sound of wind being cut was triggered, so they switched to offense instead of defense.

However, both halves of the body were writhing, with black blood vessels and connected hairs rapidly flailing and stabbing towards Nemus.

Meanwhile, another dangerous creature appeared not far away and launched a surprise attack on Nemus from the side.

Nemus shifted his stance slightly, and the sword he had previously swung out seemed to be surrounded by wind.

The sword, which had already exhausted its strength, was drawn once again.

This is the subsequent change of the Wind Slash: each time an enemy's attack is cut off, it can trigger a high-speed slash.

Nemus's sword flashed and changed in an instant, and then another sword light slashed out.

This sword light was aligned with the blood vessels, hair, and dangerous creature.

The sword flashed, and both monsters were instantly sliced ​​in two.

Although the battle rules restrict the use of cards as the primary element.

However, the wisdom of combat will not be lost as a result.

Mastering distance and orientation remains an important skill.

With this first attempt, Nemus passed.

The corpses of the two dangerous creatures turned into black smoke and dissipated, leaving behind two grains of rice-like crystals.

This is the crystal that can condense silver cards.

It's the size of a grain of rice and basically useless.

To condense a single card, at least a thousand crystals of this size are required.

While Nems may have defeated the two dangerous creatures with just one card, most card users would actually fall at this stage.

The two dangerous creatures working together exceeded the limits that ordinary steel-type creatures could handle.

The Nest Beast is also a monster with a Deathrattle effect.

With the two monsters working together, some people with poor combat skills will be taken out in the first wave.

Nemus is a good card in itself, and he also has extremely strong combat intelligence.

It would be difficult for others.

After putting away the two crystals, Nemus took a step forward. No monsters appeared with this step; instead, his body was purified to a certain extent by the ritual.

Nemes nodded; nothing had changed.

He's not like those characters in novels who mindlessly run dungeons and know nothing about anything.

Before entering the [Path of Despair], Nemus had already obtained a lot of relevant information from Cat Sister.

The Road to Despair is divided into three sections.

The first section is a muddy path.

On this path, one step is purification, and the other is attracting monsters.

The second section is Chaotian Avenue.

On this path, every step will attract various monsters, and at the same time, it will continuously purify the body.
