And they are now powerless to refute this insult.

Nemus is too strong, so strong that it defies common sense.

Even if they unite now and defeat Nemus, they won't feel any glory afterward; it would be too humiliating.

Given this disregard, the Holy Walkers were the first to take action.

He did not continue to perform the "holy practices" in order to accumulate divine power.

Based on his previous battles, he was basically certain that his accumulated abilities were no match for Nemus.

Nemus's judgment of the situation was superhuman; he could accurately assess the changes in power and then make the most correct arrangements.

The emergence of any power holds little mystery for him.

Nemus himself is a monster skilled in combat.

The greater the accumulated power, the more cumbersome it is to use, and the lower the chance of hitting Nemus.

Furthermore, Nems can interfere with him in advance.

Given Nemus's mastery of power, no one else could stop him.

Therefore, continuing to accumulate strength is just a waste of one's own time.

“No one can insult me, Nemus,” the Holy Walker said, as countless spells flew toward Nemus with a shift in his mental energy.

His spellcasting differs from Isabella's approach of pursuing the fusion and control of spells.

The Holy Walker's spells are entirely based on chain reactions.

Dozens of spells were cast in the blink of an eye, and most of them, individually, posed no threat to Nemus.

However, once a spell is cast, the next spell will be extremely lethal.

It's like Nemus was first hit by a Vulnerability spell, and what follows Vulnerability will inevitably be a kinetic spell.

Following kinetic magic is a type of control magic.

The Holy Walker is like an entire legion.

The casting speed is astonishing, but these spells can work together to create a chain reaction upon impact.

While it may seem that fusion spells are not required, the actual difficulty of casting them is much greater.

One link leads to another, and time seems to be on the side of the Holy Walker.

“As expected, in terms of combat prowess, you are the highest.” Nemus’s sword blade shifted, then dispersed and flowed.

Sword of Fortune: Raven Feathers!

Each wisp of sword energy shot towards a different location, stirring up different elements and severing the chain of destruction of the linked spells.

However, when faced with this situation, the Holy Walker will immediately release a new method to complete the chain of events.

This kind of magic can only be described as pleasing to the eye.

The ten spells form a chain of destruction, much like the destructive power of ten people working together with a single-minded determination.

If we say that the mental energy value used by any magic holy warrior is one.

Therefore, the numerical output of the two spells combined is three.

The combined numerical output of the three spells is five.

Then, following this pattern, the numerical output of these spells would be eight, thirteen, twenty-one, thirty-four, fifty-five... eighty-nine.

At first, the combined effect of multiple spells is not very obvious, but as time goes on, the multiplier of the spell destruction chain increases with each additional spell cast that works in tandem with the spell.

When the spell reached its tenth level, the numerical output had already reached 144.

Each spell costs one point of spiritual energy, and the multiplier between ten and one hundred and forty-four is 14.4.

Of course, this is only in an ideal situation.

Currently, this type of spellcasting method cannot avoid the dilemma of reaching tens of thousands of levels and is still subject to the constraint of diminishing marginal returns.

It is indeed possible to increase the multiplier using only a small amount of mental energy.

However, now each spell cast by the Holy Walker is not just a single point of mental energy, but has reached the gold level of one hundred.

At this point, he needs to cast dozens of different spells within a few seconds to form a chain in order to maintain a certain multiplier.

It's equivalent to every second, mental energy is being released outwards at full power and constantly changing and stirring the elements to form spells.

This process also requires the use of advanced spellcasting techniques such as 'spiritual energy return', 'spell synchronization', and 'spiritual conversion'.

However, the results were exceptionally outstanding.

As long as the spell chain is not broken, there will be a continuous output of 6,000 every moment.

A Holy Walker can maintain this state indefinitely by simply reapplying a spell when its duration expires.

This shows that the Holy Walker's understanding of power has surpassed that of Big.

With the individual acting as a legion, they further ensured that their own 'legion' could exert continuous power.

That's why Nemus said that his combat prowess was the highest among this group.

Each of his spells can be seen as a 'golden combat power' of 100, although this combat power can only last for one to three seconds and requires legion-style coordination to unleash its multiplied combat power.

Chapter 544 Synchronization, Cooperation, Control, Competition

The Holy Walker's spells bombarded Nemus rapidly, and countless bursts of power nearly overwhelmed him.

However, it turned out to be useless.

The moment the spell lands, wisps of sword energy shoot out, precisely hitting the core of the spell.

The power of luck plays a role in this, disrupting the coordination of spells.

When these spell chains landed near Nemus, their original output of several thousand was transformed into dozens of spells with an output of one hundred.

The spell struck Nemus as if it were raindrops falling on the earth.

Aside from making the elemental aura around Nemus even stronger, it had no other effect.

The automatic reduction of low-value power by higher-level life forms already allows Nemus to ignore spells that are not linked together.

“Unfortunately, you’re still a bit lacking,” Nems said softly, without changing his position or even launching an attack.

Instead, he glanced around, waiting for others to make their move.

Hayes removed the "give up" mentality and emotions that Nemes had previously instilled in him through an artificial soul. Once his mental state recovered, his mental value also increased back to two thousand.

He exchanged a glance with Adrian and Alice, who were not far away, and knew that they would not be a match for Nemus if they continued to fight one-on-one.

They are like the spell chains of a holy warrior; if they are released in a scattered manner, the damage they cause is extremely limited.

Only by uniting and cooperating can we create power beyond our limits.

However, since all of the Holy Walker's spells are cast by him alone, and his mental energy can be synchronized, they can cooperate with each other.

But they are different people, even competitors.

Asking them to agree with each other is practically like exposing their own private parts to others.

If they take the initiative to agree with each other, while others are on guard, then their true intentions and nature will be discovered by others.

At that point, they will be extremely vulnerable to targeted backstabbing.

Therefore, any normal person would be wary of such harmony.

However, once a sense of vigilance arises, then when synchronization occurs, there will inevitably be a situation where mental will and strength cannot be in sync.

In that situation, such thoughts would be called distracting thoughts.

However, at this point, it seems they have no other choice.

Next, Hayes was the first to initiate the ability to synchronize.

As the heir of the Saintly family who possesses the 'heart' of a Saint, his thoughts transformed into a unique and direct frequency in that instant.

At this frequency, Hayes became like a 'base station,' connecting Adrian and Alice.

The moment the connection was completed, a thought began to stir within me.

The perceptions and thoughts of the three people intertwined under these circumstances.

A series of distracting thoughts collided with it.

For example, Adrian has Alice's original appearance in his mind.

His appearance, which could be described as ugly, left a deep impression on Adrian.

At that moment of shared thoughts and intertwined understanding, such ideas become impossible to conceal.

Adrian immediately pictured that image.

Alice herself was well aware that she had been ugly, and she also knew that these 'companions' who knew about her past would gossip about her behind her back and in secret.

She could tolerate such underhanded behavior, but now that their minds were aligned, it was essentially like stabbing someone in the face.

An uncontrollable rage rose within him.

This anger wasn't particularly intense. Under normal circumstances, Alice would at most make sarcastic remarks and talk about Adrian's sex scandals before moving on.

However, when the mind is aligned, this anger seems to be multiplied threefold in an instant.

My mind instantly began to stir with unease.

Hayes was afraid that the two of them would get really angry and lose their minds, or even start fighting amongst themselves.

Fortunately, whether it's Adrian or Alice, regardless of their moral character or whether they are good or bad, none of this can deny their talent.

Having reached this point, what they have in abundance is willpower.

Even Hayes, despite his constant desire to back down, to deal with the situation, and to protect his own interests, was willing to retreat.

But even at this moment, he still had the courage and conviction to fight Naims to the death.

The anger in Adrian and Alice's hearts quickly dissipated, and all the previous changes rapidly reversed at this moment.

My mindset has stabilized, and my thoughts have returned to a unified state.

Without any testing or hesitation, the three of them, in perfect sync, launched an attack on Nemus.

The main target of the attack was Hayes.

The essence of the saint of the heart is that the heart is power.

When the mind changes, the power changes.

It emphasizes the connection between thoughts and the power of change.

In that instant, Hayes's stats rapidly increased from two thousand to three thousand six, equivalent to a demon lord in his own territory within the abyss.

Most importantly, this increase in numerical value has not significantly reduced the impact on the multiplier.

Because at this moment, there are three thoughts helping him stabilize this value.

Previously, when Hayes had a value of 2,000, he could achieve about three times the value, with an instantaneous value output reaching nearly 6,000 or 7,000.

Even with a slight reduction, it's still more than double.

The value is 3600, and the instantaneous output at this moment is—

Nine times nine times nine!

The three of them worked together and at this moment, their output was almost in the tens of thousands.

The combined attack of Hayes and his two companions presented a peculiar phenomenon.

Its internal power is constantly circulating, and a triangle has appeared in the air.

The three points of this triangle are all shimmering with different lights.

The spatial medium is constantly changing.

Therefore, the triangle appeared next to Nems almost instantly.

Nems' attention was instantly drawn to it as well.

Mocania immediately seized the opportunity. The Fate Puppet appeared beside him, and he clenched his fist, drawing upon the little puppet power that Nemus had accumulated within him.
