Demi-human Girls Completion Manual Chapter 1532 - 80: Child (2)

"...Did you forget that I have a partner? They may not necessarily predict that I know the location of Sidi’s portal, and even if they do, Sidi has more than one portal, they can’t destroy them all..."

"..."

Agares stared blankly at Barbatos, whose expressionless face showed a hint of pride and happiness, as if having a partner was such a wonderful thing, making her want to hit him.

What’s so special about it, you’re just pretending...

She sighed, then stood up, looking at the camp outside that began to stir at Barbatos’ command.

She had a premonition that the moment Paimon mentioned was approaching.

...

...

Agares might not understand nor want to understand if having a partner is beautiful or not, but Fisher undoubtedly understood the joy of having a partner, even at this moment, his consciousness was engulfed by Elliog’s demands, as if constantly falling into emptiness.

"Drip... drop..."

In the dream-like remote space, Fisher lay on the ground, listening to the sound of a viscous liquid seemingly dripping downward from all directions, a sound distinctly heavier than water droplets hitting the ground.

He sat up blankly, trying to find Elliog or other companions in this darkness, but as he got up, he suddenly found the scene around him changed, filled with towering buildings of various styles, displaying a distinct South Continent style.

Various wooden buildings were engraved with dragon-like curves in their shape, and the majestic beauty of them blessed every living creature here.

Intuition told Fisher that this was the Fermat Baha Dragon Court.

But now, the city that originally symbolized prosperity and greatness was empty, with a dead silence lingering in the air, leaving only lifeless, skeletal structures with their insides unseen.

Wasn’t he supposed to be with Elliog and the others in the Demon Dynasty, how did he suddenly appear here?

Fisher couldn’t help but wonder, but in the next moment, he suddenly saw a familiar figure sitting on a public bench by the roadside ahead.

The sparse golden hair on the back of that figure’s head could be clearly seen reflecting the light off his scalp. He sat quietly in a classic Dragon Court robe on the public bench, silently gazing at the empty, dead Dragon Court ahead.

"Caleb Wuz?"

Fisher muttered as he slowly walked toward him, and upon hearing Fisher’s voice behind him, Caleb Wuz’s contemplative posture trembled slightly, and he turned around to look at Fisher, showing a bit of relief in his expression after a long silence.

"You came..."

"...Why am I here?"

"Because you’ve finished reading the Completion Manual I wrote, and you haven’t gone mad yet, which is no small feat..."

Caleb Wuz’s face still bore the middle-aged appearance he had when he first arrived in this world, but with far too much fatigue on his face, barely able to keep his eyes open. After explaining this to Fisher, he turned back to the dead Dragon Court ahead, as if his soul was trapped here, never to be free.

This quickly made Fisher realize that the presence before him was different from the illusion of Caleb Wuz he saw when reading the myth part of the Soul Completion Manual; he paused briefly before questioning,

"Did I finish reading it? I remember I was just looking at it, but I was thinking about something else at the time and don’t recall what you wrote at the end..."

"You may not remember, but that knowledge has indeed been read into your body... And honestly, the last part doesn’t matter much whether you read it or not, it’s just a bit of my confession."

"Confession, confessing what?"

Fisher wondered as he sat beside him, looking at the empty Dragon Court ahead.

Caleb Wuz remained silent for a long time, then continued,

"Indeed, confessing what... I think it’s to my wife and daughter, I’ve let them down, and I’ve fooled myself for so long like a fool."

"Your wife and daughter, I remember..."

"Actually my wife and daughter died long ago, I only discovered this during the search of my soul much later. My wife didn’t cheat, and my daughter actually loved me. It was my fault; I neglected them, valued others over them, until I made my wife unable to bear it, and made my daughter disappointed, even though I disagreed with divorcing my wife, one night she still left home with my daughter... The tragedy happened that night."

Caleb Wuz held his face calmly recounting all this, as if it was someone else’s story entirely unrelated to him.

Fisher couldn’t help but think of how he had read many memories of his past lives, wondering if this was the consequence of him doing so, making him a "composite" existence beyond "Caleb Wuz," rendering matters significant to Caleb Wuz unimportant.

"Why did you think they would still be alive at the time?"

"Because of Tangze Asuka, the president of the Creation Society..."

Fisher paused slightly, then heard him continue,
