Demi-human Girls Completion Manual Chapter 1364 - 30: Renie Arrives (Part 3)

Indeed, the enhancements to my physique stem from the Demi-human Girls Completion Manual.

Following the perusal of the Soul Completion Manual, he found himself repeatedly questioning the unusual nature of the enhancements derived from the Demi-human Girls Completion Manual.

Without any apparent cause, its enhancements seemed to materialize from thin air. While this peculiarity demonstrated its mystique, it remained uncertain whether these enhancements were on par with those from other manuals.

Now, with Erwin’s reminder, Fisher knitted his brows.

"Are you suggesting that the life-level enhancements from that Completion Manual are not the standard equivalent upgrades?"

"Precisely. Your enhancement is incomplete. Even if the Completion Manual you possess is quite unique and potent, it still cannot serve as a substitute for other manuals."

Fisher offered no immediate reply, merely utilizing his "imagined" senses to survey his surroundings. Unable to discern Erwin’s form, he directed his question to the empty air, "What precisely is the significance of the Life Completion Manual's treasure? What did you ascertain from Agares?"

Erwin’s voice maintained its composure as she simply stated, "We are adversaries; why should I divulge this to you? As long as you fail to locate the 'treasure,' you will never be able to fully comprehend the Life Completion Manual."

"In the past, I was bound and stalled for an extended period, dedicating ages to searching and researching before uncovering even a single clue. Why then should I simply hand it over to you?"

Although her tone was calm and unruffled, Fisher could always detect an undertone of smug satisfaction.

He then retorted, "Aren't you already deceased?"

"Indeed, but you absorbed a portion of me through the Soul Completion Manual, remember?"

"So, you have taken root and sprouted within my being?"

"Would the meal you consumed take root and sprout inside you?"

"The meal I consumed wouldn't converse with me."

"However, you would savor its essence."

"Are you implying that I am reveling in the taste of you?"

"Heh, it appears that the Demi-human Girls Completion Manual's choice of you was predestined."

"..."

Fisher found himself at a loss for words, acknowledging that Erwin, now residing within his soul, understood him all too well.

He ceased pursuing this line of discussion, instead scanning the surrounding darkness with a somber expression.

For without the directives toward the treasure, rendering him incapable of fully deciphering the Life Completion Manual, he possessed only the Soul Completion Manual. This limited him to the Sixteenth Rank, making any confrontation with the two Demons seem utterly impossible.

"Crack, crack, crack!"

Amidst this fleeting silence, the shadowy space surrounding him began to fracture, piece by piece.

A subtle, yet captivating fragrance permeated the air, drawing Fisher’s attention.

"You should depart now, Fisher."

Erwin advised.

"Will you reappear?"

"I am already deceased."

"You are correct."

Fisher rose to his feet, his mind feeling somewhat detached, as he had yet to fully assimilate the knowledge he had absorbed.

He needed to return to the tangible world and confront the impending trials.

However, just as he prepared to depart, Erwin's voice echoed once more, "You encountered Anna; she represents the unfinished treasure. You are aware of her genesis, and you have also witnessed the plant-based meat. To acquire the treasure, one must cast aside compassion. To ascend against the established order, one must desecrate life... this is chaos."

"..."

Chaos...

At that precise moment, he began contemplating a profoundly significant question: whence does the chaos originating from beyond the realm arise?

Could it be the Transmigrators?

They should merely be heralds of the chaos.

Margaret, too, had perceived those "voices." When Tangze Asuka was betrayed by Margaret, a crimson power manifested upon her as well...

This line of questioning impelled Fisher to recall every event that had transpired within the Holy Land.

Simultaneously, however, Erwin's voice intruded once more, "Wait! What are you contemplating? You have forgotten that your consciousness has not yet detached from the knowledge; hurry and..."

Her words were abruptly silenced as Fisher's body commenced another transformation within his recollective consciousness.

"Glug, glug!"

He underwent continuous changes, at one moment feeling an inclination to assume the Elf Species form due to his remembrance of Master Tao.

Yet, his current existence had reached its zenith, incapable of replicating the magnificence of the Mythical Rank, managing only a vague and clumsy imitation.

Angel?

In that instant, perceiving this constraint, a figure suddenly materialized in Fisher's mind: Helair.

He abruptly realized that his body's transformations had ceased entirely, unable to mimic further, as if he had never encountered her at all...

Her joyous expression intensified in his memory, yet Fisher felt an unprecedented sense of remoteness.

"Helair!?"

He instinctively cried out, attempting to bridge the growing chasm with his voice. To his surprise, the fragrance intensified, and the light before him grew more brilliant.

In the subsequent moment, a visage, etched with worry yet breathtakingly beautiful, filled his entire field of vision.

She panted heavily, gazing at Fisher, seemingly taken aback that he would utter a stranger's name, and instinctively recognizing it as a female's name.

Behind her, Emhardt trembled, concealed, appearing utterly petrified by his exclamation.

Renie gazed at Fisher, her own concern momentarily forgotten as she blurted out,"Helair... Just who is she?"
