Demi-human Girls Completion Manual Chapter 1573 - 91: The Ends Everywhere

At this moment, below the kingdom in the Seeking Knowledge Gate area, within Paimon’s palace, Death Lord Holan’s expression was unusually serious compared to his usual casual demeanor.

The reason was none other than the presence of Moli before him.

Ever since she touched that base and began to manipulate its power to release Elliog’s true form from the Mother Goddess’s seal, her state had become increasingly bizarre. It was as if the scarlet power had grasped her entirely, leaving her unable to escape. Her originally blue hair started to darken, and her face was covered with countless black lines, making her look particularly frightening.

Initially, Holan thought it was because Moli needed to wholeheartedly control the base and thus couldn’t move. But soon, he noticed that the base’s power was continuously corroding Moli’s body, prompting him to remind her,

"Lord Priest, this base is..."

"I know, but if I stop, the Elliog Demon’s seal might once again..."

Moli’s long eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings, but at that moment, her face turned ashen. Her words were interrupted by a sense of coldness spreading within her. She quickly lowered her head before saying,

"I don’t know what the situation is above, and about Mr. Fisher’s status... so, we at least need to wait until we get definite news, or until they return."

Emhardt flew back and forth anxiously, watching as Moli’s white arm quickly became covered with scarlet marks, causing him to grit his teeth and say,

"Fisher really owes you all, gah, I can’t stand it, I need to go out and see what’s going on outside! Paimon, that scoundrel certainly..."

"..."

Looking at Moli, Holan seemed moved, but soon he turned his head outside, apparently sensing something,

"What is this..."

"Boom!"

"What’s going on, why is it shaking again, isn’t the fight above, why does it feel like it’s coming from underground?!"

Holan looked somewhat dazed, feeling the aura continuously leaking from the ground, his already lifeless body seemed to sense that aura, feeling a long-lost tremor...

It was Death.

He uncontrollably walked out of the palace, looked up towards the top of the lava, and soon saw a door open in mid-air, as if some seal was broken, gently awakening the terror suppressed at the kingdom’s base.

"What?! Which beast did this?! The Seeking Knowledge Gate, no... it’s not just the Seeking Knowledge Gate, this rocking sensation, did some fool open all ten gates?!!"

The square-shaped Emhardt flew out, looking up at the wide-open door in great panic, flying back and forth like a headless fly,

"We’re done for now, originally Fisher had enough trouble dealing with those guys above, even with Elliog, they’re probably not a match. Now it’s even more heavyweight, how did Death get released too, isn’t this just adding to the chaos!?"

At this time, Holan finally snapped out of that mesmerized feeling, but his soul, which had been calm for so long, faintly felt some kind of opportunity. He turned around and hurriedly asked,

"What does it mean that opening ten gates releases Death?"

"It means that the Death Authority will awaken again! Last time this thing came out it was right in front of me, at this place called the Ideal Country... forget it, you wouldn’t understand even if you knew, you weren’t born yet. You just need to know that a lot of people are going to die! Now isn’t the time for that, there’s no Demigod here, the only remaining Mythical Species are either asleep or fighting above... oh dear, oh dear, we’re doomed."

Emhardt’s single eye looked at the open door above, glanced back at Moli, sitting on the floor in the palace, her body rendered scarlet, after a moment of hesitation he made up his mind and said to Holan,

"No, we can’t just leave it like this, there’s still a chance. I’m going to find the culprit who opened that door above and quickly shut it, otherwise... once the Death Goddess fully awakens, it’ll be chaos here!"

"Wait, you?"

Holan raised an eyebrow, looking at the square-shaped Emhardt about to fly up, and said,

"Yes, it’s the great Book Knight me! What’s it to you?"

"..."

Holan was silent for a moment, then looked up towards the sky and shook his head, saying,

"No, let me go, I should be a bit more convenient than you."

"You go?"

Emhardt looked at Holan suspiciously, honestly, he didn’t trust the other party much, especially at this time.

Anyone could see that this guy was seeking death. Now that the Death Authority is about to fully awaken, it might just be his only chance. If he goes at this critical moment, it’s like throwing a bun to a dog.

With this, not only will the situation above not be alleviated in the slightest, but Moli on this side will only be looked after by him, which would be troublesome, unable to attend to both sides.

Confronted with Emhardt’s hesitation, Holan hunched down and pulled out a cigarette from his pocket, placed it in his mouth, and said softly,

"I’ll close that door. As for here, Fisher trusts you the most, so I’ll leave the Dragon Court’s Priest to you."

"...Alright, but keep your word."
