Around the coast, on the ritual to summon the demon god, the sticky scarlet like a sea of blood was fading away little by little with Fisher's movements, as if the branches that had lost their root system could only wither, and the entire earth and sky were also withered.
Be quiet, as if what just happened never happened.
Seeing that the sky and the earth were quiet, and Fisher's figure became particularly clear, Rafael and Jasmine hurriedly ran towards the shore.
At the center of the ceremony, they first saw the girl named "Ingrid" unconscious and lying on her side on the ground, and Fisher was half-kneeling in front of her. There seemed to be something going on on her body.
Squirming, or rather, it was more like his own body was squirming irregularly.
But long before the two ladies arrived, he returned to his original human appearance.
Hearing the sound next to him, Fisher turned his head subconsciously, but there was almost no expression on his face, his eyes were a little vacant, and he looked quite absent-minded.
"Fisher?"
Seeing this, Rafael was the first to speak with some concern, but Fisher in front of him didn't react at all when he heard the words. Even Emhard on his shoulder became nervous. After all, he was leaving Fisher just now.
Scheer, who was closest to him, certainly knew what had just happened, so he seemed particularly worried.
"Fisher, are you okay? Just talk!"
But what they didn't know was that at this moment, in front of Fisherman Lake's sight, in the constant, harsh tinnitus and murmuring, he seemed to see a gray sky, like a sky shrouded in darkness.
A continuous rain fell in the sky, shrouding all things in light, leaving only the sound of the knife-like wind passing by my ears.
Right in the middle of the dark sky, Fisher's sight was filled with a huge, seemingly strong-looking creature...
It was a giant dragon with many haloes surrounding it and full of indescribable divinity!
At this moment, there was a huge golden sword wound hanging on the shoulder of the giant dragon in the sky, but this horrific wound did not affect his terror at all. He only stared at "himself" coldly, as if looking at a person.
Like a hated mortal enemy.
That's...Fermat Bach Dragon God?
"You damn transfer guy!
"
He roared at himself with extreme anger, as if the world was being pulled and changed color by his emotions, but "himself" seemed to feel nothing, like a piece of wood or stone without emotion, completely unmoved by it.
, just minding his own business.
As the extremely angry roar of the giant dragon sounded, a crimson breath that could penetrate the continent continued to gather in his mouth, condensing chilling and terrifying destructive power.
It was Fermanbach's anger that made Fisher come back to his senses from his confusion. He was slightly startled and looked down at "his" body, but he didn't see any human form in the lake...
He only saw a mass of indescribable black sludge that was constantly bubbling and expanding as if it were endless.
Is this you?
still...
Just when Fisher was stagnant, the mud on his "own" body was completely uncontrollably spreading out in all directions like a tsunami. The huge waves of black mud instantly corroded the exquisite and magnificent buildings around him.
Devouring the souls of the dragon races and various sub-races that are constantly fleeing in panic in the city, they are like a black hole without intelligence and purpose, greedily demanding everything around it...
And seeing what "himself" did, the dragon in the sky became even more angry!
"Roar!
"
The roar like thunder reignited, and the breath from the opponent's mouth came uncontrollably. Just when the confrontation between "black mud" and "breath" was about to occur, the illusion in front of Fisher also stopped abruptly. At this moment
What appeared was not the catastrophic scene like the earth was shattering that day, but the rather worried faces of Rafael and Jasmine.
"Fisher?!"
"ha..."
Fisher opened his mouth, and his breathing became heavier. The black eyes in his eyes seemed to disperse into stars and condensed little by little, turning back into human eyes like a chameleon changing back to its own color. The terrifying look made
Rafael took a breath, wondering what had happened to Fisher over the years.
She was about to ask, but Fisher took a deep breath, shook his head, interrupted her question, and said,
"I'm fine..."
"It's good that you're okay, Mr. Fisher!"
Just as Rafael's face was about to light up and make physical contact, Jasmine next to him hugged Fisher first, making her expression freeze in place.
She curled her lips imperceptibly, and then turned her head. While observing the surroundings, she gently tugged on Jasmine's robe with her paws. When Jasmine turned her head around in hindsight, Rafael was already smelling bad.
Face stood up and went to take care of the soldiers who didn't know anything behind him.
"We will deal with the situation here later. Jasmine, please first take Fisher and...this human named. There is too much movement here. We will talk about other things later."
"...Well, Rafael."
Jasmine also realized that her actions were a bit excessive, especially in front of Rafael. She could feel that it was not that Rafael didn't care, but because he still had to face many difficulties and did not want to ruin the relationship between them.
That's why I endured it again and again.
Accordingly, you should also pay attention to it.
She pursed her lips and stood up, looking at Fisher who was not yet fully awake in front of her and Ingrid who was unconscious and lying on the ground behind him. Just when she was about to make a move, she realized something was wrong.
She looked behind Ingrid with some confusion, and suddenly discovered that the two headless corpses that seemed to be demons had completely disappeared. She wondered if they had been consumed in the ritual just now.
...
...
"Mr. Fisher, you take a rest here first, and I will arrange other things."
Since the previous incident on the shore, the entire Red Dragon Palace has become restless. Rafael has blocked the news, and only a few people know what happened. But this does not prevent the people of the Dragon Palace from reacting to the loud noise. Various speculations have arisen as to the cause.
Some said it was the puppet imperial court; others said it was soldiers on the shore defense who wanted to rebel and flee to the north, but were discovered by the queen; well, some even thought it was a divine punishment, saying it was a revelation of war sent by the gods. .
All in all, the entire Red Dragon Palace is temporarily busy, and the first ones to bear the brunt are Rafael as the queen and Jasmine as the priest.
Fisher was temporarily placed in a room in the royal court by Jasmine, while Ingrid went to receive some treatment. Fisher could make sure that he had only eaten the mark of Barbatos, and his soul was not damaged. The wound was healed by giving it to the doctor at Longting.
After it quieted down, only Fisher and Emhardt were left in the room, who had their eyes closed and were concentrating.
Emhardt flew around him, and saw that he hadn't calculated the reason for not telling him about Jasmine's presence for a long time, so he knew something was wrong.
He quickly flew around Fisher again and asked,
"Fisher, what's going on with your body? With this level of chaos, your soul is also..."
Hearing this, Fisher also opened his eyes. He glanced at Emhardt, who was looking concerned next to him, and explained,
"Do you still remember when I was in the north, I showed you some knowledge?"
"You mean...the forbidden chaotic knowledge?"
After Fisher's reminder, Emhardt quickly recalled the painful memory of being knocked unconscious after reading a few words. He shook his head and hurriedly exclaimed,
"No wonder the level of mythology you entered is so weird. You...didn't I tell you before to stop reading those things? Otherwise, sooner or later, you will either go crazy or become a monster!"
Fisher suddenly thought of the hallucination caused by using the power of the Soul Completion Manual to swallow the mark on Ingrid's soul. The black mud that would absorb the soul might be his future fate.
He shook his head and said with a smile,
"I had given up reading them before. Part of the reason why I entered the mythical realm was to properly settle the debt I owed, and then I stopped... But now it seems that I can't stop like this. You said before that Barbatos is a demon duke, so his body should be at the eighteenth level, and I have just entered the mythical level, which is the fifteenth level. If he wants to take action against Long Ting, La What should Fael and Jasmine do?”
Emhard was stunned for a moment, then listened to Fisher continue,
"And they are in Saint Nali's army. I don't believe that Yin Lisabai has such ability to drive this group of demons who are destroying the world. They must also have desires for Nali and Yin Lisabai... It's just that In order to protect them, I have to continue climbing the ranks.
"But after all, I am just a human with only level zero. In this world where all levels are fixed, if I enter the level of mythology or even go back, I can only rely on chaos that cannot be controlled by rules. I am well aware of its side effects, but this is the only solution I can take.”
Emhard opened his mouth, and after a long time, he gritted his teeth and choked out a sentence,
“It’s all Baimon’s fault!
"
Fisher didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he asked,
"What does this have to do with Heller?"
"You forgot, she is also a member of the demons, and the only free person in thousands of years. She must have done a lot of bad things in the four and a half years we left, including the fact that the group of demons escaped was related to her!
"
"So, what is her purpose?"
Emhardt's indignant expression suddenly stopped. He could know that Baimon was very bad, but when it came to talking about her specific purpose, he had no idea. The only thing he could be sure of was that her
The purpose is not pure!
Fortunately, Fisher doesn't expect Emhardt to be able to tell the answer, because this question may also be what he wants to explore. But there are too few clues at present, and he can't draw any meaningful conclusions.
You can only focus on the problem at hand,
"Whether or not the release of these demons has anything to do with Heller, the problem of the demons is real and I have to face it. Who told me to be so greedy? I took too much at that time. Now is the time to pay back.
.”
"...I'm just worried that you will do bad things with good intentions. With the help of dangerous things like chaotic knowledge, I'm afraid that in the end your goal will not be achieved and it will cause harm to those women. You want to help them, and on the contrary, they will also
I hope you are safe...well, unless they discover each other's existence."
Fisher smiled and shook his head, but his heart became a little more solemn.
"I'll be careful, Emhart."
Although when he went to the sanctuary, he was reminded by the mysterious elf "Tsuki" that he seemed to have something special about chaos, but Fisher would certainly not be emboldened by this.
Even if the after-effects of reading the Completion Manual were much better than those of the guys from the Society of Creation, there were still after-effects, otherwise he wouldn’t have had the hallucination of losing control just now. Reading the Completion Manual was like to Fisher
When walking on a tightrope, if he is not careful, he will fall off a cliff. He must be careful.
Another problem is that there is a huge gap between mythological levels. Let alone being at the fifteenth level and Barbatos being at the eighteenth level, even if you are at the seventeenth level, you have absolutely no chance of winning against Barbatos.
What's more, another demon's name appeared in the mouths of the two demon attendants just now: "Agares".
Fisher had heard this name from Eliog and Emhardt. This demon seemed to have a good relationship with Eliog and also had the ability of the eighteenth level.
In other words, it is conservatively estimated that Fisher will have to face two eighteenth-level demons at the same time, and he is only fifteenth level now.
This is a gap that borders on despair.
According to the tips given, he needs to read the complete soul completion manual to advance to the sixteenth level. Assuming that reading one completion manual can only advance to one level, he also needs three to reach the eighteenth level.
Not counting the completion of the manual, he only has two in hand, namely soul and life, which can only reach the seventeenth level.
Not only does he need to find other completion manuals to reach level 18, he also needs an ally who can fight alongside him.
After completing this line in the manual, she might be able to seek help from the Fate Minister. She hopes to find the Magic Minister. Although she only found Asuka Karasawa from the past, she at least has a few clues. She should be able to ask for help from the current one who does not know whether it has been disbanded or collapsed.
The Creation Society could ask for a little help.
As for the path of allies...
The first thing he thought of was Renee, because Renee's level was high enough that even if she took action, these problems would not be a problem. If she was a demigod of level 20, then asking for help from her would undoubtedly be a problem.
A wise move, but the problem is that she may be a true god of level 20 or above.
The true God cannot interfere with the world no matter what. Fisher has heard this iron law more than once, so Renee basically never really takes action in reality, she only uses magic and other weird things.
small means to cope with what happened.
What about other allies that could be considered?
Heller?
Well, I still don't know whether the appearance of the devil has anything to do with her, and I don't know where she is, so it might be a little difficult.
Eliog?
She seems to be a demon as well. I wonder if she has come out of the Demon Dynasty. Even if she does, she might be on the side of Agares and Barbatos?
Hey, there seems to be a small problem...
Fisher suddenly recalled that the mark he saw on his chest just now belonged to Heller. But when he left Saint-Nali, the two demon attendants on Snake Head Street seemed to have told him that the mark on his chest was that of Heller.
Does it have the mark of Duke Eliorg?
In other words, Heller wiped away her mark?
Although his relationship with Eliog was somewhat unclear, he always had a hunch that it would be bad if Eliog saw her mark erased...
.
Okay, after thinking about it for a while, I basically don’t have to think about allies anymore.
The only mythical species that still exists is the devil, and it just so happens that this mythical species is now his enemy.
And besides the devil, he is probably the only one in the mythical rank, so how can he fight?
Fisher was a little helpless, but he could only go on with courage. No matter what, it was necessary to continue reading and completing the manual.
Just start with the Soul Completion Manual in your hand, then the Life Completion Manual, and then talk about other things...
Seeing Fisher's determined look, Emhart couldn't do anything to persuade him. He just flew to Fisher's shoulder and said,
"Okay, in this case I will accompany you and I will supervise you."
Fisher smiled slightly, but suddenly remembered something, looked at him and asked,
"By the way, you already knew Jasmine was here before, why didn't you tell me?"
"Um, this... that... what? Jasmine is here? I just found out... Hey, it's quite unexpected..."
Speaking of this, Emhart's eyes quickly became wandering. He was mumbling and just about to fly away, when Fisher caught him expressionlessly. He wanted to open his belly and see what was inside.
Remember something,
"You traitor, you are still making excuses."
"Uh-huh, who told you to let me sleep outside for one night? Don't blame me!"
"Dongdongdong!"
It was at this time that there was a sudden knock on the door of the room, and the fight between Fisher and Emhard came to an abrupt end.
Fisher raised his eyebrows, causing Emhardt to fly up, and he also said at the same time,
"Please come in."
"Fisher..."
The door was opened, revealing a cautious Mill wearing glasses. She looked at Fisher, and then said to him,
"The lady named 'Ingrid' has woken up, but she seems to be very unconscious, as if she has been having a nightmare..."
"But she said she wanted to see you. She said she learned some news in her dream, about a man named...well, Baimon, and wanted to tell you."
Fisher opened his mouth and said nothing, but Emhardt suddenly jumped up and shouted,
