Chapter 436: The Path to the Mythic
Looking at Helaire's wicked and exceedingly flirtatious action, Fisher's breathing instantaneously grew extremely hurried. Unknown why, clearly the Helaire before his eyes wasn't even female, yet her body inadvertently invariably carried a faint warm fragrance.
That fragrance was difficult to describe specifically. If Fisher were to formulate an evaluation, estimating he uniquely could simply utter a phrase "smells good" and nothing more.
Yet the sensation could be resonated with, akin to laying lazily within the shade formed by a densely packed sunflower field in the afternoon, wrapped by the ice-cold earth yet still capable of faintly witnessing the sun in the sky thus.
Uncontrollably, he extended his hand toward the white robe Helaire lifted single-handedly, desiring to touch her tender and fair skin through that minuscule thin robe. Yet clearly just about to touch her skin, she extremely abhorrently gently lowered the white robe she grabbed single-handedly. That robe fell like an iron block, knocking down his suspended extended hand.
Before Fisher could react, her bare foot directly landed upon his chest, pressing him against the tree he leaned on behind him.
The shape of her jade-like foot landed like a branding iron upon that "Infinity" sigil left by Renee, effortlessly intending to erase and overwrite the trace left by Renee.
Her clean right foot lightly stepped upon Fisher's chest. Accompanying the swaying of her index finger, seemingly expressing the meaning of "no allowed", yet clearly her gaze was invariably that playful and enticing,
"Exactly how did your Reproduction Ability transform into this? Could you be a heir or眷族 (dependent/kin) of the Black Goat? Having just suffered injury yet utterly unable to cease..."
"Black Goat, what is that?"
"Mm..." She tapped her chin, pausing to ponder for a second or two before smilingly stating, "A powerful creature fantasized by the Angels. Because we lack Reproduction Ability and are exceptionally arrogant, therefore for a long time we invariably viewed reproduction as an original sin. The Black Goat is precisely such an ugly, exceeding-ethics, only-reproducing bizarre creature, holding equivalent marvelous effect with you.""...I've already mended my ways anew."
Helaire smilingly shifted her line of sight downward bit by bit. Subsequently, she seemingly witnessed something, her smile deepening a bit. Yet she didn't continue teasing the stubborn-mouthed Fisher; conversely, she stated,
"Mm, looks completely unlike it. But right now it's not allowed. Rewards are the return for giving. If you let me perceive amusement, it identically isn't impossible oh~ Naturally, you identically can become sufficiently powerful, for example crushing me in rank, and then forcefully teaching a lesson to this bad Angel solely capable of teasing you."
She invariably carried a playful smile, yet her body assumed the posture of a bashful woman embracing herself, rendering Fisher speechless. He rubbed his head, stating,
"For example, what you mentioned previously, the method to help me enter the Mythic Rank?"
"Correct, I indeed possess a method to let you enter the Mythic Rank."
"...Letting a person ignited by desire like me enter the Mythic Rank, aren't you afraid the first to suffer disaster would be you? You must know, a year ago, my rank hadn't even reached the Transcendent Rank."
Helaire slightly augmented the force stepping upon Renee's sigil on Fisher's chest, her smile remaining undiminished,
"Seeking amusement invariably accompanies risks. I am deeply adept at this path. Moreover, presently it appears your risks are far greater than mine oh~"
"Truly a lunatic. However, I don't believe you are purely seeking amusement... even if refusing to help me, you identically possess countless other methods to seek amusement, no?"
Hearing this, Helaire retracted the right foot placed upon his chest, squatting before him. Looking at the twisted branches in the surroundings, she supported her chin and stated,
"True, if I must mention other reasons... just now you identically witnessed it, you were targeted by an unknown existence, and the other party is an existence of the Mythic Rank. As the saying goes, a hundred carefulness yields one negligence; highly likely next time I'm busy seeking amusement and neglect managing you, you'd succumb to a mishap, no?"
"Therefore, who exactly is the Mythic Rank existence taking action against me? An Angel of the Sanctuary? Archangels Raguel and Raphael?"
Helaire decisively spread her hands, innocently stating,
"How would I know? Mythic Species fully calculated uniquely number two hundred, let alone potentially other races breaking through to the Mythic Rank呢. Highly likely the matters you've committed rendered the deities unable to stand watching any longer, invariably dispatching Death to collect you for expiation, no?"
"..."
Truly or falsely, aren't the deities excessively Narrow-Minded?
If following this standard, then many gentlemen of Naris would invariably be liquidated countless times by Death, no?
If compelled to truly differentiate, probably solely his favored ladies encompassed a slightly broader scope?
"Clap clap!"
"Alright, returning to the main topic, let me narrate to you the method for other races to enter the Mythic Rank."
Helaire clasped her hands and clapped, emitting a crisp sound, pulling Fisher's scattered attention and gradually raising Reproduction Desire back onto the correct track, rendering him refocusing his gaze entirely anew upon Helaire's absolutely beautiful face.
"You ought to already know, the Mythic Rank in a certain sense can already achieve surpassing the limitations of certain Rules. Essentially speaking, it equates precisely to the life quality of this individual surpassing the limitation of general Rules. Yet although the terminal point reached is identical, the process conversely possesses two different paths to traverse."
Helaire smilingly raised her first finger,
"Firstly, the path traversed by the vast majority of Mythic Species and Mythical Creatures, 【Surpassing Rules themselves is conforming more to the Rules】. All lifeforms in a certain sense are believers of Order. This method of climbing actually refers precisely to increasing one's own adaptation compatibility with the Rules. Yet for you to traverse this path would be exceptionally difficult, because your starting point is human, an existence with the lowest rank in this world. Your capability to climb to this point has already defaulted to traversing another path, therefore we shall place the focus upon another path."
Not until this moment did Fisher abruptly realize a certain matter.
That is, previously when others encountered him and perceived his rank surpassing ordinary humans, they invariable defaulted to him being a Mixed-Blood Species luckily birthed between humans and other high-rank races. Yet Helaire, from appearing up till the present, had invariable addressed him as human.
Although his soul had already been twisted by the Soul Completion Handbook, and his body supplemented with Constitution by the Demi-Human Completion Handbook, yet she uniquely could ascertain at a glance that he wasn't a mixed blood.
Is this the unique discerning eye of Mythic Rank existences?
He didn't open his mouth to doubt. Helaire smilingly continued to raise her second finger,
"The second method, actually holds equivalent marvelous effect with that thing named 【Magic】 you utilized previously. Moreover, it appears you are exceptionally proficient in this path, previously identically laying quite a bit of foundation. 【Destroying the Rules thereby surpassing the Rules】, this isn't a method permitted by this world, yet essentially you have already taken many steps. Even if I don't tell you, you will identically slowly approach the Mythic Rank."
Fisher's eyes condensed. He relied upon the Constitution supplementation obtained via the Demi-Human Completion Handbook to slowly attain today's rank. Yet equivalently precisely as his previous analysis toward the Completion Handbooks, these items essentially resembled Magic, invariably constituting 【Path of Securing Chaos】 and 【Forbidden Arts】 contrary to Order. Even if the burden brought by the Demi-Human Completion Handbook was an unreliable matter like "increasing Reproduction Desire", yet it identically couldn't negate it was an item written by a Transferred Person.
"You know Magic?"
"That thing you utilized just now, although it's identically my first time encountering it, yet I can roughly guess its nature... mm, let me guess, it uniquely can broadly cover the might of rank one to Thirteenth-Tier at most. To surpass the might of the Mythic Rank, it exclusively can rely upon the pure method of 'stacking' to achieve, correct? Because it is a 【Neither One Nor The Other】, essentially non-Order, yet intending to fit Order, therefore appearing bizarre."
Helaire smilingly looked at the Fisher before her eyes. Looking at his slightly blank appearance, identically not stating whether her guess was correct or not, conversely continuing to explain,
"Pulled too far entirely, better continue speaking of the method rendering you entering the Mythic Rank. You can utilize the method of destroying the Rules to surpass the Rules, via the opposite fashion surpassing the restraint of Rules, rendering your body and soul simultaneously breaking away from the restraint of Rules, thereby transforming into Body and Soul Unity."
"This simple?"
"To other people, extremely extremely difficult, because all creatures within this world are imperceptible believers of Order. All Mythic Species, Mythic Rank existences you witness invariably traverse the first path; yet to you, conversely extremely extremely simple, because you already possess two requisite prerequisites."
Helaire pointed at Fisher's body, excitedly stating,
"Your soul has already mutated to the verge of non-Order, your physical Constitution identically sufficiently strong to a certain degree, this is one of the requisite preparations; whereas the other preparation equates to, you possess the 【Catalyst】 leading toward Chaos."
"Catalyst?"
Fisher stared blankly slightly. Subsequently, abruptly realizing something, he fiercely lowered his head to look at his chest. There, that purple inverted-figure-eight symbol left by Renee remained incomparably bright. And Helaire's smiling voice continuously transmitted in,
"Correct, you require a Catalyst to help you break away from the restraint of Order. Ordinarily speaking this is impossible, but your body harbors dense meaning of Chaos. This clarifies traversing the second path will be highly effortless for you. You uniquely require to extract the Catalyst, utilizing its aura to help your flesh and soul break away from the restraint of Order, then you can attain the Mythic Rank. The prerequisite is, your rank has already attained the peak of Thirteenth-Tier; presently it appears, you still possess a segment of distance to traverse."
Actually, the Catalysts Helaire spoke of comprised two. One was that sigil left by Renee on Fisher's chest, the second was that item Renee handed him, rendering him to throw it into the Holy Grail.
Since that sigil on his chest was highly unlikely to be extracted forth, Fisher uniquely could consider utilizing the second. Regardless, according to Helaire's statement, this sigil didn't require being utilized; he purely required utilizing its aura and it would be fine.
Yet such smoothness triggered two doubts within Fisher.
Firstly, regarding the Demi-Human Completion Handbook. He still remembered before Fisher headed to the Southern Continent, when he bound Renee, it additionally supplemented the 【Strength of Soul】, thereby he obtained the supplementation for engraving Magic. Yet ever since researching Raphaela, the strength of soul seemingly never supplemented anew...
Thinking carefully, was it truly after researching Raphaela?
No, accurately speaking it ought to be... after he obtained the Soul Completion Handbook and subsequently read it.
If he obtained the Life Completion Manual and subsequently read it, then would the Constitution supplementation of the Demi-Human Completion Handbook identically vanish呢?
Then, could this infer, the supplementation of the Demi-Human Completion Handbook was essentially identical to other Completion Handbooks; or perhaps, its contributor desired the future generations obtaining the Demi-Human Completion Handbook to head toward the direction of Chaos呢?
This was the first doubt, whereas the second doubt was...
Fisher raised his head to look at the Helaire before his eyes, abruptly inquiring,
"Why would you be so familiar with Chaos? You are an Angel, you identically ought to be a believer of Order correct."
"I indeed am ah, additionally the deities told Chain of Heaven, the World Tree, and Lord Dragon God regarding the terror and danger of Chaos long ago. As their progenies, naturally we identically know. But you know, the tranquility of time has been truly too long. Within tens of millennia, not even a single hair of Chaos appeared. The duties the deities arranged for several lordships day after day exclusively remained with dullness."
Helaire smilingly supported her chin, stating to Fisher,
"Therefore, their true target of detestation transformed into each other rather than Chaos. And presently, the finally-appeared mark of Chaos exceptionally comprises solely you and these Transferred Persons... mm, truthfully speaking, truly too weak. The ranks are truly too low, we none of us are immensely concerned呢.
"Do you know why the lie you told the Archangels could take effect? You claimed yourself to be a Transferred Person, and they genuinely believed it. It's precisely because your body harbors an extremely dense aura of Chaos, denser than little Karasawa and Mikhail and their ilk. Therefore they genuinely believe you hail from Chaos, additionally bringing forth techniques unknown to believers of Order."
The words reaching this point, she watched the surroundings gradually calm down. She identically stretched lazily and stood up,
"Seemingly the earthquake has already ceased, we additionally ought to return la... In short, you first attain the peak of Thirteenth-Tier yourself. Subsequently extracting the Catalyst of Chaos, its aura will guide you to attain the Mythic Rank, requiring no other miscellaneous items for auxiliary and help. You turning slightly stronger identically can save me a bit of worry. Additionally, truthfully speaking, the amusement of the Mythic Rank is quite a bit more enjoyable than the amusement of other ranks呢."
Fisher identically mellowed quite a bit. The injury and assault just now seemingly wholly unoccurred. He looked at the Helaire before his eyes. Intuition and the various existences of Completion Handbooks invariably told him, this method was indeed correct and feasible.
Seemingly ever since he arrived at the past, Helaire invariably nurtured him with exceeding care... Fisher utterly disbelieved things like pies dropping from the sky. Perhaps she was identically scheming something upon his body as well?
Yet seemingly, her scheme and the direction of his own scheme were identical. Then looking presently, cooperation was a reasonable choice.
He nodded and stood up, sincerely uttering a sentence of thanks to Helaire. Yet Helaire seemingly entirely disliked such etiquette, uniquely curling her lips, un-politely offering any pleasantries either... Indeed, this fellow's single glance proved she was no rule-abiding Angel.
Fisher looked at her neck and side profile revealed by her thick white robe, abruptly feeling his heart somewhat itchy. He abruptly began generating interest regarding whatever reward this fellow mentioned just now. He faintly remembered it seemingly was a reward related to her transforming into a female Angel, yet he fuzzily didn't remember what Helaire's requirement was.
If this fellow were a female Angel...
Fisher the Mended-Ways, thinking and thinking, abruptly ceased his thought, inquiring to Helaire,
"Right, wasn't Asuka Karasawa with you? You came here, is she over there at the Phoenix Race?"
"..."
The bare-footed Helaire floating in mid-air humming an unknown short tune ahead stalled her body slightly — she seemingly highly adored singing, although the vast majority of times singing these ballads with indiscernible tunes, yet she truly highly adored singing.
She embarrassedly twisted her head back, even her signature smile somewhat incapable of being maintained. After a moment of pause, her eyes abruptly brightened, clapping her hands and stating to Fisher,
"Hide And Seek... correct! She is playing Hide And Seek with you! Teacher Fisher yo, imparting you a glorious mission, little Karasawa is hiding somewhere precisely within this expanse of forest waiting for you to find her. As long as you find her, there will be a mystery reward oh~"
"You brought her along?! Intentionally tossing her here?"
Helaire whistled. Looking at the Fisher before her eyes about to immediately reprimand her, she floated upward extremely irresponsibly, flying away toward another place in the blink of an eye,
"No no... yi, the Mikhail and Gou Wen over there seemingly encountered some mishap. Unacceptable, serving as your good leader empathizing with subordinates, I invariably must go inspect it exactly. Teacher Fisher, the mission of discovering little Karasawa is bequeathed to you, Jiayou wa!"
"..."
Fisher stood blankly in place, watching that flighty Angel waving a hand in mid-air flying increasingly distant, speechlessly raising an eyebrow.
Actually Helaire desired to bring Asuka Karasawa down. After all, letting her witness Fisher guiltily rendered chased by ladies within the illusion running all over the forest remained highly interesting. Yet Asuka Karasawa serving as an ordinary human high school student, her body was truly an excessive weak-chicken; halfway flying she began vomiting. The Fisher over there additionally plunged into a killing array. Helaire lacked any option but to toss her within the forest, claiming to return and pick her up later...
Subsequently, she exclusively forgot the location she placed Asuka Karasawa down.
Or perhaps identically intentionally. After all, to a Mythic Species like her, regardless of how broad this expanse of forest was, Asuka Karasawa invariably lacked any place to evade shape. Yet being capable of finding and desiring to find were two different matters; Helaire conformed to the former yet failed the latter.
The Fisher over there prepared to utilize the old method of engraving Magic to go search for Asuka Karasawa. Yet at this moment, somewhere within the forest roughly a kilometer away from him, close to the direction of the Phoenix Race encampment, that Transferred Person hailing from Japan, Asuka Karasawa, was laying unconscious within the encirclement of an expanse of tall trees, sleeping extraordinarily tranquilly.
Looking carefully, the surrounding purple smoke was retreating bit by bit due to Helaire's midway interference. A silhouette possessing the Mythic Rank was rapidly moving into the distance masking an expanse of purple smoke.
Because there existed two Mythic Rank existences ahead and rear, therefore his movements were extremely concealed, deeply afraid of being discovered by any single one of them.
"Margaret, I failed. That Angel discovered."
"..."
Hazy dialogues transmitted from within the forest. The unconscious Asuka Karasawa failed to perceive the slightest bit that she had already been Completely Defenselessly exposed before an existence of the Mythic Rank.
That shadow wrapped in the purple fog carrying a boundless illusion stalled bit by bit before the trees, his gaze landing before that unconscious Asuka Karasawa,
"..."
"...It's that Transferred Person traveling concurrently with them. She highly likely originated from the identical place as you, possessing additionally another one."
"..."
"She is innocent. The one you desire to kill uniquely comprises Fisher exclusively."
"..."
"...Margaret, she is innocent."
"..."
The dialogue of that shadow wrapped by the purple smoke exclusively solely transmitted his own voice. Yet after a long silent contemplation, he unexpectedly directly bypassed that Asuka Karasawa entirely plunged into deep sleep, uniquely traversing alone towards a more distant direction, leaving Asuka Karasawa continuing to lay plunged in sleep upon the ground.
"Wu..."
She seemingly completely plunged into a deep illusion. Seemingly returning anew to the temple her father inherited. Seemingly returning anew to her simple boudoir, sitting upon the Tatami, before a simple wooden table.
Some books were spread open upon the wooden table. Beneath the books seemingly pressed were some Buddhist Scriptures. Those seemingly were the Buddhist Scriptures her father asked her to transcribe which she secretly slacked off and failed to execute as instructed...
She seemingly was writing homework, additionally seemingly watching 《Neon Genesis Evangelion》 broadcasted by Tokyo Television...
"Dong! Dong! Dong!"
"Thus Have I Heard. At one time. Buddha Shakyamuni was at the Avalokitesvara Palace uniquely at Mount Potala. Within the Jeweled Adornment Bodhimanda. Seated upon a jeweled lion throne. Its throne purely utilized immeasurable assorted mani jewels exclusively for adornment. A hundred jeweled banners and pennants. Arranged suspended along the circumference..."
Her father seemingly was reciting Buddhist Scriptures.
The Wooden Fish seemingly resounded anew.
Asuka Karasawa blankly twisted her head to look towards the tightly shut wooden door beside the wooden table, sluggishly and unconsciously thinking thus.
Begging for votes, tips, and support, this is extremely important to me!
