Demi-human Girls Completion Manual Chapter 1593 - 96: Conflicts (3)
Previously on Demi-human Girls Completion Manual...
The living creatures couldn’t see through the burning gap above, so they could only identify it by the scarlet mist spreading inside the gap, thinking it was merely a mass of never-dissipating and expanding red clouds appearing in the sky.
The human army collapsed completely, presumably needing to retreat dozens or even hundreds of miles to the north before being able to report the situation here gradually, with keywords such as the appearance of natural disasters, the disappearance of the main leader, and military chaos; the situation was not much different at the Dragon Court, as Elliog and Barbatos had fought all the way from here to the back end of the South Continent, so they too were disorganized, not to mention they couldn’t find their leaders Rafael and Moli either. At the moment, they were still treating wounded and lost soldiers, and some troops were searching for the Queen on the battlefield below.
Fisher and Emhardt of Holan soon came through a teleportation gate to the ground.
Earlier, after Elliog fell asleep, Fisher could only take Holan and head back to find Helair, as he needed a teleportation gate to leave the Dynasty.
Helair generously gave Fisher the rune of the teleportation gate outside her palace. Using this rune, Fisher could open a teleportation gate to her palace from anywhere in the South Continent.
As soon as he emerged, Fisher’s attention was drawn to the overwhelming gap and its fissures above, just as Holan had said, the gap was collapsing, but it would take some time.
Judging by its stance, it might last... one or two months?
Fisher looked at the gap fissure that had spread to around several hundred miles after a day and night, his expression also becoming somewhat grave.
"Fisher!!"
At this moment, a figure appeared from not far away, observing the area, and soon Moli’s voice calling out quickly reached him, prompting Fisher to quickly look towards her direction.
He stomped on the ground and hurriedly went to Moli’s side, seeing her face covered in dust carried by the storm generated by Barbatos earlier, even her blue hair had gathered some dust, yet it couldn’t mask her joy and excitement upon seeing Fisher as she landed directly into his embrace.
"Moli..."
"That’s wonderful, Fisher, I’m so glad you’re alright!"
Moli buried her head in his chest, then suddenly thought of something and pointed to the distant sand dunes,
"Rafael is over there, earlier influenced by the Demon Dynasty inside, so progress was particularly slow, but it should be better soon, Rafael will soon reach the mythic life level."
Moli initially said this happily, but quickly her expression showed a subtle hint of melancholy.
Because she hadn’t yet reached the mythical rank, still hovering at its threshold. While genuinely happy for Rafael, compared to her stagnant self, she felt somewhat disappointed.
Fisher sensed her thoughts and held her tightly, speaking softly,
"It’s alright, Moli, if it wasn’t for you, I might have died down there earlier, thank you."
"Hehe..." Hearing Fisher’s compliment, Moli’s spirits lifted a bit, she nodded and said, "Though it seems like I didn’t help much, being the first person Fisher chose to thank is quite worthwhile."
"..."
Hm, but wasn’t he thanking Elliog earlier before this?
Forgotten, it’s fine, seems it’s just like Moli said.
"Sir Book Knight! Mr. Holan, you’re also alright... Oh, I totally forgot about Mr. Holan’s situation."
Holan nodded to Moli with a smile, then looked up at the sky, seeing the illusionary scarlet mist and sunlight filtering through. After taking a deep breath, he turned to Moli and Fisher and said,
"So then, it’s time to say goodbye. Priestess Moli, farewell."
"Eh? What do you mean?"
Moli pursed her lips, not understanding Holan’s meaning, but Emhardt flew to her shoulder and shook his head.
"That urgent?"
"Ah, I’m not sure either, but I feel now is the right time as I’ve been waiting so long, haven’t I?"
"...Indeed." Fisher gave a bitter smile, then left Moli’s side to approach him, asking, "Is there anything I can assist with?"
"Yes, come with me over here, then I need a knife, and I want you to use that knife to behead me, just like an execution."
In the end, Holan added,
"The ritual I drew was a beheading ritual, those madmen believed that separation of head and body, consciousness escaping the embodiment of death could make one closer to He Ya."
"...I understand, then give me some time to prepare the knife."
"It’s fine, I need to prepare a bit myself too."
Holan gave a pale smile, then moved a bit further away with Fisher, taking off his coat and then his upper garment until his exceptionally thin, malnourished, and hunched upper body was completely exposed.
Fisher sat silently on a nearby mound, while retrieving the essential oil of Olympics and the fluid sword handle from the Demi-human Girls Completion Manual.
The essential oil was completely colorless, like a bottle of clear water it was stored in a glass bottle, making Fisher suspiciously shake the liquid inside, wondering if the Demi-human girl control had mistakenly filled it.
