Demi-human Girls Completion Manual Chapter 1807 - 164: Prelude to the Final Battle (Part 4)

"Master Tao! Why are you harping on about death all day!? Fisher is trying to save you, give us a chance, don’t be like this."

Listening to Valentina’s persuasion, Master Tao became more angry. She shook her head with difficulty, breaking free from Valentina’s embrace.

"Who needs his rescue? If he can save himself and save you, that’s already good enough. How can he save me? Can he save the world?! This pathetic man, driven by lust, dares to promise anything just to stay by your side, trying to act important!"

Emhardt on Fisher’s shoulder seemed eager to start a confrontation, but at the crucial moment, Fisher restrained the general Emhardt, walked to her and straightforwardly said,

"Even if you die, it’s useless. Elizabeth can’t be killed, chaos will still occur and attempt to assassinate Dalasgon."

"So what, reducing even a bit of chaos is better than nothing, can you handle it all?"

"Yes."

"Handle it, my foot! You handle what, you pathetic..."

"I can mobilize the authority of Dalasgon. Although I can’t fully control it due to its condition and consciousness, but in the gap, we have a great chance. As long as Dalasgon survives, the doomsday prophecy cannot be fulfilled."

With a height barely reaching Fisher’s waist, Master Tao found it difficult to look up at him, almost at a ninety-degree angle, making verifying Fisher’s claims increasingly challenging.

Thankfully, Valentina stepped forward to embrace her again, allowing her to see eye-to-eye with Fisher...

It was somewhat like a mother holding a child, but now wasn’t the time to settle this.

Master Tao frowned, contemplating while Fisher, not wanting to waste time on words, glanced back at the fully prepared Wutong Tree Soldiers, then at the increasingly fierce collisions of the Chaos Species in the sky, and simply said,

"After all, Outer Gods are Outer Gods, their powers possess unimaginable properties. Even a fraction that flows over still fills the battlefield with uncertainty. Senior Ashley understands the chaos of fate better, aside from you, there’s no expert in the chaos of vitality, as for the chaos of death, it’s rooted with He Ya; having been pursued by the Death Authority for so long, I have some say in this matter. Therefore, I need the two of you to help me with the gap, the rest is up to Valentina and the others."

"Master Tao, please agree with Fisher..."

With Valentina’s request from behind and Fisher’s reasoning before her, Master Tao, much like a child besieged by parents, quickly ran out of ways to resist.

The situation was thus, even if she took her own life, other holders of the Destiny Complement Manual had already been persuaded. What use was there anymore?

Thus, she could only glare viciously at Fisher and say,"If things go wrong, all the blame is on you, Fisher!"

"It’s always been on me."

Fisher said helplessly, while at the same time, he glanced at Master Tao, asking,

"Your current state is somewhat damaged; how much power can you exert?"

"If I don’t use the chaos of vitality, it’s approximately around the Sixteenth Rank, not too different from you."

"...Should be enough."

Fisher stroked his chin, but the key lies in how much of Dalasgon’s authority he can use.

After waking up this morning, he went with Ashley into the gap to experiment, replicating the previous method of engulfing soul chaos, and indeed, came in contact with Dalasgon’s authority; it hadn’t regained consciousness yet, allowing Fisher to gain partial control over the gap.

The gap represents the realm of subconsciousness, meaning he can construct scenes within as if with Dream Magic from the past, and can drive a small portion of Dalasgon’s power, conservatively estimated to be around Nineteenth Rank.

Though small for authority, it is sufficient for use; the issue is this power isn’t very stable. Fisher attempted three times, succeeding twice, a probability of two-thirds, but this one-third chance of failure at critical moments could be fatal.

After all, this authority still belongs to someone else, being able to borrow and accommodate its power is already quite remarkable.

It makes him increasingly curious about what exactly he is.

How can he make the authority manifest its name and form without rejection, it’s completely a mystery.

"Fisher, Valentina, it’s ready on the other side."

At this moment, behind, Alagina, equipped with numerous cardinal gears, led approximately ten towering humanoid cardinals over, their forms resembling angels, similar though less advanced than the ones David had back at the Sanctuary.

These are the flagship cardinals used by angels in the past, Fisher found it hard to determine rank for them, as being constructed from dead matter, rigorous testing is required to establish conclusions.

Now, the troops prepared to attack Saint Nali are ready; Fisher glanced over, seeing Isabelle gripping a musket and sword, taking deep breaths, cloaked Ossie among them as well.

Valentina put Master Tao down, looked at Fisher and said,

"Shall we prepare to set off now? The situation in the sky seems to be worsening... Slime has already clarified the status of Saint Nali, it’s under martial law, taken over by the military, almost all of Nali’s main force; I fear a great battle will ensue. But with me here, a bunch of humans and cardinals won’t hold out long."

Fisher’s expression wasn’t easy; instead, he told Valentina,

"No, Valentina, you cannot just crush Saint Nali’s troops directly; first, I don’t know what backhand Elizabeth might have left there, even if none at all, when you only face humans, you can’t simply do this. Elizabeth has the Nineteenth Rank Pandora’s Illusion beside her, an entity not something you can deal with, a hard confrontation would be disastrous, so I need you to delay time and create chaos instead of directly confronting her, do you understand?"

"Alright, I understand. What if she deems Saint Nali insignificant, sending Pandora’s Illusion to the gap to aid chaos?"

"That is my purpose... having one more doesn’t make a difference, leave it to us then."

As Fisher spoke, he looked at Emhardt on his shoulder, who earlier this morning also brought a letter from the Dragon Court,

"Regarding the Dragon Court, they will come from the sea; surely Elizabeth’s navy will be there too, aiding you in attracting the naval artillery, so just focus on dealing with the land matters."

"Okay!"

Valentina nodded, unsheathed the Ice Phoenix Sword. Though the sword belonged to the Phoenix King, it was always unwieldy for her; the Moon Princess Sword was more practical; she typically used the former as a ceremonial weapon, a symbol to command the Wutong Tree.

For instance, at this moment, before marching off, she raised the long sword high, shouting to the army gathered in the snow,

"Ladies and gentlemen!! We are about to set off, lift your spirits and be ready!!"

"We, are about to head to Saint Nali, to fight that damned Elizabeth in a battle to the death!!"
