The twin demons, cleaved in two by a single sword strike, vanished into black smoke in the next instant.

On the other side, some black smoke appeared, and the twin demons reformed, grabbing the piece of flesh that had been thrown out.

There was no joy in his eyes as he clasped the flesh and blood in his hands together.

As some force surged, this mass of flesh and blood dissipated.

And the twin demons' body began to crumble.

It gradually turned into black smoke and dissipated.

The sword strike that evoked tears together possesses a strong causal connection.

It even contains a certain conceptual power.

Because after the death of his most beloved saint, the God of Discipline wept for him before unleashing his most ruthless revenge.

No one who is connected with his death can escape the judgment of the God of Discipline.

In this situation, even with its top-tier "two lives" ability, the Twin Demons would not be able to dodge this attack.

At most, it only delayed the damage to oneself from the sword by a few seconds.

Even in the abyss, one's own physical body may be damaged as a result.

The slowly dissipating twin demons were buying themselves a final chance to sever the causal link, while also looking around at everyone.

Saints, Saint Ne, Guilliman, and other golden species.

Their gaze finally settled on Saint-Nai.

At this moment, the numerical aura of Saint Nai's recent advancement was very obvious.

"I will come back for you!" the twin demon uttered his last words, and his final body vanished.

All his plans ultimately failed because of Saint Nai's sword strike.

The turn of events from victory to defeat was only possible if, at the very end, someone realized something was wrong, chose to be cautious, and focused their attention on the person who had turned the tide.

Even if the twin demons didn't obtain a piece of reversed flesh derived from the saint, their main body would probably be severely injured as a result.

The saint repelled the twin demons with a single sword strike, but he did not let his guard down. He continued to carefully observe his surroundings, searching for any trace of Angel Nai.

However, before he could find any trace of Angel Nai, his time was up.

His severe injuries shortened the time it took for him to be summoned.

“Be careful, the fictional demon wasn’t killed by me; he’s somehow gone into hiding.”

"You need to be careful!"

"You're very good!" the saint said, looking at Saint Nai and nodding in praise.

After saying that, the sword of light in his hand fell and flew towards Saint Nai.

Then the saint also transformed into a phantom and disappeared.

At the very moment the saint disappeared, the figure of Angel Nai appeared. She did not doubt whether the saint had really left or whether it was an illusion to deceive him.

The moment Angel Nai appeared, she grabbed Moritulus.

Gotthard, who was already standing next to Moritorus, immediately reacted and launched a counterattack.

However, at this moment, the gap between them is still very real.

Angel Nem's current value is one thousand, while Gotthard, although a genius, is only around five hundred according to Nem's judgment.

If the numerical values ​​differ by a factor of two, it's a complete stomp.

Sword of Fortune: Whirlwind Swallow.

The Whirlwind Swallow move has two main advantages: it can break through armor with its spin and it's fast enough.

Under this sword strike, Gotthard only felt the unstoppable force of Angel Nai's sword, and the intense aura of death that followed.

However, at that very moment, Killieman arrived to provide assistance.

A surge of orderly power descended upon Xuan Feiyan, restraining her.

Angel Nai made her move and left without lingering, carrying Moritulus away swiftly.

It's not that he doesn't want to kill Gotthard or Rost now.

Reducing the number of these two gold-producing species will gradually limit Guilliman, forcing him to rely more heavily on Saint-Nai.

Unfortunately...

In an inconspicuous place far away, a large number of spatial fluctuations suddenly appeared.

Subsequently, a large amount of gold coins emerged from it.

At a glance, there were more than a dozen golden seed individuals.

Most importantly, there are also extremely valuable gold varieties with a value of over 1,000 among them.

This is one of the reasons why Angel Nai had to leave.

If we try to kill two Gold Saints and end up getting entangled with these people, it will probably be another fierce battle.

In addition, it's because Angel Nai's combat power is declining at this time.

Previously, due to the threat posed by the Twin Demons, the Azure Whale sensed a fatal threat and disregarded everything else, giving top-level support to Angel A, who could directly contact Him.

But now the twin demons have been defeated, and the deadly crisis has been averted.

While Sister Whale wouldn't completely turn her back on people, the level of support she receives is decreasing.

Not long after escaping, Angel Nai's stats began to drop from one thousand.

Azure Whale is, after all, the territory of the Discipline Church. Although there is no absolute master-servant relationship between the Discipline Church and Azure Whale, Azure Whale is not very willing to support someone and fight the Church head-on.

As things stand, the relationship hasn't reached that point yet.

On the other hand, the consequences of the causal property used by Angel Nai—"Self-Protocol: Cause of the Past"—began to backfire.

All causal abilities have this problem.

Because of the law of causality, the essence is a strong connection, and it is determined that there is a cause before there is an effect.

Once it is broken, there will inevitably be a price to pay.

Angel Nai felt as if countless winds were piercing her body, and every inch of her flesh was being transformed and twisted by the power of the ritual. The pain made Angel Nai frown.

This is the price: to invoke a particular past cause, one must bear all the pain that part of oneself ultimately suffers.

If the cause of that past event does not involve intense pain, then it will transform into a kind of pure causal backlash to make up for it.

Suppressing the pain, Angel Nai looked at Moritulus, or rather, at the Sinful Soul.

Chapter 386 Goodbye

“Nemus…” Moritulus had now ‘awakened’. He looked at the angel Nemus, and the first hint of fear on his face was quickly suppressed.

It quickly turned into a pleasant surprise.

"Nemus, I'm so glad you're alright." Moritulus's armor was now completely shattered, revealing his bizarre and ugly face.

"Are you sure your disguise can fool me?" Nemus stared at the other person as if he could dissect their soul.

Moritolus shuddered, as if he felt some kind of unprecedented pressure.

“Nai…” Moritulus forced an ugly and stiff smile, and the next moment he was cleaved in two by Naimus.

After his death, a lump of mud-like substance emerged from his body.

Then a shadowy figure leaped out from Moritulus's corpse, attempting to seize the sinful soul and leave.

However, Nemus was prepared for this. He slightly changed the shape of his sword, and strands of divine power formed a net that firmly grasped him.

It was the demon that Moritorus had previously sealed within his body.

Because of the taboo, this demon transformed from an ordinary demon into a different kind of demon.

Nemus wanted to study the differences in order to understand the distinctions between souls.

As for Moritorus...

Nemus looked at the mass of sinful spirits.

Unlike Balthazar, Moritulus's sinful soul, though also muddy, contains a complex of many 'souls' within it.

Whether they were monks of the church or souls of other beings, they were now deeply mired in the mire of sinful souls and could not extricate themselves.

Moritolus was naturally among them.

However, what is called a soul is actually just a part of the soul that forms a persona.

The true soul has long since turned into part of the mud.

This is why Moritolus's body master constantly changes.

Nemus looked at the other party, then grasped the sinful soul, and powerful holy power pierced into it, briefly severing the persona that belonged to Moritulus himself.

Moritolus's faded, ghostly figure appeared before Nemus.

"Feel sorry……"

"Sorry……"

The first apology was from Nemes, and the second was from Moritorus.

He looked at Nems, his eyes filled with no hatred for his own death, but only regret for his own lack of ability.

When his sin of fusion erupted, the church forcibly took control of him.

Because he incorporated some demonic traits and absorbed the soul of another person.

The situation is extremely complicated, and those golden-type or forbidden hunters are currently unable to deal with him.

Therefore, the only option is to send out some ascetics to integrate them and thus gain the upper hand.

Then came the betrayal of Nems.

He was too weak. If he had been able to regain control of his body back then, perhaps Nemus wouldn't have died.

Nemes felt no joy or happiness in response to Moritorus's apology.

“You don’t need to apologize to me.” Nemus shook his head and said bluntly, “While I have the intention to free you from the sinful soul, I also have a greed for the sinful soul.”

“In essence, I’m also treating you as a rare resource, a material I can use,” Nems said.

Balthazar's sinful souls were created by the Abyss, and offering them to the Abyss's will does not necessarily guarantee the Abyss's assistance.

Therefore, Moritolus's sinful soul is just right.

Nemus knew in his heart that if he dragged this out and waited until he became stronger, then as his research into the forbidden would deepen, he might one day be able to purify Moritulus, thereby saving him and giving him peace.

But Nems did not make that choice.

He didn't have that much time and energy to waste on saving Moritorus.

Even though they had a deep friendship before, and even though Moritulus had reminded him about the Saint's Secret Spell.

Moritolus was well aware of this, and he smiled and shook his head, not caring about it.

Many people take life and death, and whether they can die peacefully, very seriously.

Moritolus, however, was not like that.

"If I can help you, then I can die in peace."

As he spoke, the persona of Moritorus gradually faded and disappeared.

"Goodbye." Nemus nodded and said goodbye, then naturally put away the Sin Soul.

He planned to study the taboos and souls for a period of time before returning to the abyss to begin his own ascension.

While they were at it, they continued to expand their fictitious agreements and began to plan their independence.

Although Nemus did not completely master the Azure Whale this time, it does not mean that he has really given up.

It's just that the plan has been slowed down a bit.

The church in Saint-Née still held some use for him.

With the saint's approval, it is basically confirmed that Saint Nai, who has become a legendary species, will enter the upper echelons of the church.
