Demi-human Girls Completion Manual Chapter 1604 - 100: News from Nali (Double - )

When the Dragon Court and Fisher left, there was a significant transformation, primarily occurring above the sea.

Similar to the South Branch Mountain Range, which was dramatically reshaped by immense power, there arose sudden steep peaks above the sea, like islands formed from the aftermath of some fiery force exploding on the surface.

"Is that the trace left by the battles of the Demons... but even though I’ve entered the Mythical Rank, it still feels so incredible?"

Sitting in the carriage about to enter the Red Dragon Court, Rafael gazed from afar at the wondrous sight on the sea with a sense of reflection.

Meanwhile, Emhardt, standing on Fisher’s shoulder, yawned and added to Rafael,

"That’s because you aren’t of the Mythical Species, but rather entered the Mythical Rank through acquired means. Although it might seem there’s no difference, there actually is. Species that enter the Mythical Rank later often have inadequacies compared to the Mythical Species due to their original racial structure and capabilities..."

The example Emhardt gave was something Fisher had long been aware of, for instance, Elves are naturally able to use fate and the Elf Secret Skill corresponding to their name tree, and Angels can naturally use forging and the accumulated solar energy. Coupled with their Mythical Species physique, their combat performance appears quite dramatic.

But what about those who enter the Mythical Rank later?

Not to mention, the range of the species that can later enter the Mythical Rank is close to the Mythical Rank itself. The pivotal issue is that breaking free from the limitations of the rank doesn’t mean they aren’t still of their original species.

Phoenixes enter the Mythical Rank later and still only possess the ability to see future fate; other magical powers still rely on a few Swords crafted by Angels to be unleashed since the Phoenix Species isn’t innately capable, even upon reaching the Mythical Rank.

The ranks constructed by the gods have always been unfair. The naturally Mythical Species can possess abilities and blessings matching the Mythical Rank, whereas those who enter the Mythical Rank later can only largely change their constitution, falling evidently short of the Mythical Species.

Phoenix Species are like this, let alone humans, who originally would have no chance of stepping into the Fifth and Sixth Ranks. If they normally entered the Mythical Rank, Fisher would probably just be a "superman" with a Mythical constitution, without any special abilities, because humans were originally such a race.

Yet, unlike other species that enter the Mythical Rank later, entering the Mythical Rank through Chaos can grant blessings and abilities comparable to those of a Myth, derived from the Completion Manual within, albeit with some cost when used.

Hearing Emhardt’s explanation, Rafael seemed a bit perplexed,

"Then what about Moli’s mother? Moli is of the Whale-man Species, so logically her mother should be of the Whale-man Species too, but in all of what Fermat Baha, Moli, or Fisher have said, it feels like her mother is incredibly formidable."

"Destructive God..."

Emhardt opened his mouth, yet didn’t know how to explain it, as logically it should be so, which makes the Ocean Emperor so exceedingly special, mumbled: "Well, I don’t know either, but if even Fermat Baha respects her, she must really be impressive..."

As one of the three tempered demigods, Fermat Baha is known for berating his two comrades with extreme arrogance, but if even Fermat Baha speaks highly of Xuan Can, it shows that she, as someone who entered the Mythical Rank later, has reached an indisputable level of strength.

Yes, which is why Emhardt has no doubt that if Fisher had earlier personally gone to see Xuan Can to seek her help for Rafael, he would likely have indeed been swept away by her.

"Lord Raphael, you have returned!!"

Most of the buildings in the city were temporary structures erected during wartime, and their quality had been tested under the aftermath of previous battles, basically falling apart at a touch. When Rafael and Fisher returned, all the officials of the Praying Tower were leading the few garrison troops inside the city walls to clean up the aftermath.

It was the soldiers who noticed Rafael, promptly relaying the news back to the interim leaders Fasher and Kexier, who then sent Mier over to report the situation to Rafael.

"Mier, how is the situation here, where is my Mother?"

"Other than some damage to the buildings, everything else is still fine. Lord Yaril is also not in any trouble; she just happened to fall unconscious in the Flower Garden during the prior evacuation, but the soldiers have already protected her, and she is residing inside the Praying Tower."

Upon hearing this, Rafael finally sighed in relief, patting his chest with gratitude,

"That’s good, that’s good..."

"Lord Raphael, how about the frontline situation?" Seeing Rafael’s relief, Mier also greeted Fisher and then cautiously inquired about the frontline status, "How is Burr...?"

"Burr is fine, to be accurate, this war had ended even before it properly began. But in any case, we’ll finally have some peace here for a while... without Barbatos, those scoundrels of the Fake Court and the humans too..."
