The Handbook for Completing Demi-Human Girls

Chapter 487: Sea

Dragging the time of this moment back bit by bit to several hours ago, precisely when the setting sun was just preparing to fall into the ground, Fisher, who had parted ways with Gou Wen, was leading that incessantly singing camel, searching for a location that could be used to advance to the Mythic Rank.

However, he was somewhat worried about the matters on Gou Wen's side, so Fisher didn't immediately leave the place he was at.

Since the other party's matters were related to a Mythical Species, then it was obviously very dangerous. Therefore, he wandered for a long, long time in a place not far from the coastline.

It wasn't until nearly two hours had passed and that side remained completely silent that Fisher clearly understood Gou Wen's thoughts.

He didn't want him to interfere in this matter.

Since that was the case, Fisher also had no choice but to silently bless him in his heart, or perhaps he should wait until he had advanced to Mythic and then come back to see if he could help. He felt this process shouldn't take too long.

In short, it was already night, and he couldn't delay any longer.

Thus, Fisher, having made a decision, walked along the undulating, uneven cliffs to the inner side of Dragon Tail Island, and subsequently entered a seemingly very quiet forest.

Originally Fisher was prepared to find a burrow in the ground, but then he suddenly remembered Gou Wen had said that Fafnir often returned from the Crevice of the Spirit World to sleep on Dragon Tail Island, and his method of sleeping was probably just digging a hole to burrow into and rest. Who knew which of these caves on land might be connected to him? If he hit the jackpot and got unboxed by him, it wouldn't be fun.

But then again, Fafnir was a Twentieth-Tier Dragon God. Even on the Surface, he might be perceived by him; it was just deceiving oneself to seek psychological comfort.Thinking thusly, he casually found a rather quiet place. Subsequently, he left the led camel and that seemingly half-finished Crown on him at his original spot in the woods, then he walked forward alone for several hundred meters before finally settling on the place for his final "tribulation crossing".

He first took out the Fluid Sword hidden in his robes, then took out the teardrop-like structure Renee had given him, used to breach the structure of the Holy Grail.

The method Gui taught him was: create a wound, connect it with his own wound, and then he would know the method to advance.

Looking at the teardrop swirling with wondrous purple brilliance in his hand, Fisher hesitated for a moment, because he indeed felt somewhat suspicious of Gui's motives. It was impossible that he had to believe her just because the other party looked exactly the same as Renee. By comparison, he was even more willing to believe that trash angel Helaire.

It was just that when he truly looked at this purple teardrop emitting bizarre fluctuations before his eyes, he unexpectedly truly felt a bit of unique resonance. This unique resonance seemed to be some sort of self-evident proof, proving that what Gui told him was true.

As if this thing was pointing to some location he couldn't reach.

"..."

Fisher paused for a moment, then he gently used the Fluid Sword to cut a small opening in the palm of his hand.

In the next second, a magical thing appeared.

The instant that wound appeared, the blood on Fisher's palm gathered in a way resembling a blood mist, spiraling upward and intertwining with the purple Matter on his hand.

At the moment those two parties touched, Fisher's body also shivered, as if he felt some sort of calling. Subsequently, he no longer paused, completely grasping that purple teardrop with his injured palm.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

At the moment of contact, Fisher's everything seemed to be completely covered by blackness.

He seemed to fall once again, once again into an endless descent, continuously falling amidst the lingering of ear-piercing noise beside his ears, within the boundless darkness...

But for him, this feeling no longer seemed to amount to anything.

He even felt familiarity and a trace of intimacy that surprised even himself.

While this feeling of being startled arose, Fisher's sensation of falling also vanished instantly.

He had unknowingly bared his feet, tangibly standing on a rather damp, uneven reef.

"Splash... splash..."

In the eternal darkness where one was So Dark You Can't See Your Own Hand before his eyes, the nearby, eternally unchanging sound of ocean waves he had heard many times beat extremely rhythmically against the reef he stood on.

He seemed to have arrived at the center of an extremely vast Ocean. Within the entire majestic Ocean, there seemed to only be this lone island, as if he was the only person.

Where is this?

Fisher finally was no longer muddleheaded, thinking thusly.

Amidst his uneasy panting and breathing, coldness bred like a virus.

His body suddenly became somewhat stiff, as if he couldn't stand steadily, precariously about to fall towards the Ocean.

For some reason, he just knew that if he fell into the Ocean, he would instantly merge into one with that Ocean, like bubbles scattered all over the ground.

But precisely in this trembling darkness, from the distant horizon, from that slice of deathly silent Ocean, a massive circular celestial body carrying bright and clean light miraculously rose.

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

That circular celestial body seemed to be born from that black Ocean, its body still carrying a bit of gloomy tide. It slowly rose from the horizon until it suspended in mid-air, suspended in the position Fisher was most, most familiar with, turning into the moon that had illuminated the Surface since he was born...

"The moon..."

In that originally gentle moonlight, everything just now felt like an illusion. Fisher's sanity instantly cleared up. He looked around and discovered he seemed to be standing exactly on that small island in the Eastern Ocean where he first saw Renee after leaving the Northern Border, a place not far from the Pirate Port, it was just that compared to the noon at that time, it seemed to be night here now.

The surrounding atmosphere instantly became warm. Fisher let out a long breath and sized up the surrounding environment.

"Fisher... Fisher..."

Behind Fisher, a voice he couldn't be more familiar with transmitted once again.

He turned his head back in astonishment, and sure enough, he discovered that beauty wearing the black gauze dress he was most familiar with was standing gracefully in the center of the small island, exactly where that streak of cold moonlight stood.

"Renee..."

For a moment, Fisher's heart stirred, and his footsteps walked uncontrollably towards that direction. At this very moment, he was incomparably certain that the person before him was Renee, not Gui.

"Fisher... you didn't happen to, find another female in the past, did you?"

That Renee, with both hands placed on her lower abdomen, smilingly looked at the Fisher before her and suddenly said this, causing Fisher, who was moving his footsteps, to suddenly freeze in place as if struck by lightning, not daring to advance further.

He suspected that the current Renee was hugging a Machete in her arms, waiting to cut him down with one slash once he went over.

"No, Renee... about that..."

Fisher's expression changed slightly, just as he was about to say something, the black beauty before him covered her mouth and laughed "Pfft",

"Pfft, are men with guilty consciences all idiots... or is a female's intuition too accurate?"

"You..."

"Her in the future, she said it herself, she had no way to monitor the past. She doesn't know at all what you did or didn't do, idiot."

"..."

The figure of that "Renee" blurred bit by bit, hazy like moonlight blooming in a kaleidoscope, until that "∞" symbol familiar to Fisher completely filled his vision, only then did the Renee before him slowly turn back to her original appearance.

"Fisher, I am [Authority], the manifestation of her power, the essence of her that cannot be killed."

"Authority, huh."

Renee walked to Fisher's side with a smile, sat gently on the pure white sand, and looked at the pitch-black Ocean before her,

"Curious about what Authority is?"

"A little."

"Actually, this is only the terminology of [Here], newly created just like [Chaos], merely a vocabulary term created to describe the Traits possessed by certain existences. You can view it as an apt description of the deities' powers. The meaning I symbolize is [Infinity], representing [immeasurable order of magnitude] and [endless repetition and reincarnation]..."

No wonder, that guy Renee possessed such a massive amount of Magic Power. Even though she concealed her true body and altered into a Witch, the nature symbolizing her power was still replicated upon her body.

"How about it, do you have a deeper understanding of her? She believes the less you know, the safer you are. She wishes she could stay by your side for a lifetime with the identity of an ordinary bad Witch, no threats, just living like ordinary people... It's just a pity, this is merely her hope."

Fisher also sat beside her and asked her,

"You mean, the less I know, the more dangerous it actually is?"

She smilingly turned her head, shook her head and said,

"I don't know either. After all, I am merely an Authority. I am not her, nor do I know her considerations. I can only feel her attachment to you... and as for why you would see me, it is entirely because of your uniqueness and the goal you want to achieve."

"Uniqueness? I don't feel it at all."

This was Fisher's second time hearing this vocabulary term. The last time he heard it was the last time... oh no, it was yesterday, and it was also spoken from the mouth of an Elf who looked exactly the same as Renee and the Authority before him.

She gave an example to describe his uniqueness, but Fisher didn't tangibly feel this point. At most, he seemed to be a bit more durable, completely lacking anything special.

If he was truly that special, then why would he also sink into madness from reading the Soul Completion Handbook?

Hearing this, the Authority didn't say much. She merely explained,

"Gold doesn't know it is gold; it only has such dazzling light in the eyes of greedy gold panners. In my eyes and the eyes of certain existences, you are exactly like this."

Fisher squinted his eyes. He vaguely guessed something and speculated to her,

"Certain existences... you mean, [Chaos]?"

"[Chaos], sounds too derogatory. Like [Authority], this is also a newly created vocabulary term. If we must differentiate, I am also a part of [Chaos]. Do you find me terrifying?"

Authority enchantingly blinked her eyes at Fisher beside her. No wonder this guy was Renee's essence; even her personality was very similar.

But honestly speaking, he was a bit confused regarding these few entities. Gui looked like this, Authority was also like this, Renee even more so.

What is this?

Dating one partner but sharing three?

"No, you're not terrifying... but is this the crucial point? Also, I came to advance to the Mythic Rank, why are you telling me this?"

"It is exactly because you want to enter the Mythic Rank that I have to tell you this!"

Upon hearing Fisher say she was "not terrifying," Authority blushed and touched her cheek, looking shy. Yet in the next second, she glared with purple eyes, poking Fisher's waist with her finger repeatedly, but after discovering he wasn't ticklish at all, she resentfully withdrew her finger.

She pouted, looked at the Ocean before her, and said,

"You don't understand, Fisher. The certain existences I speak of are existences beyond your imagination. I was once a part of Him/Her/It."

"What does this mean?"

Fisher raised an eyebrow, looking at the Authority beside him, hoping to get her explanation. But she smiled slightly, extending her hand forward, slowly plunging it into the deep, gloomy sea surface before her, scooping a handful of seawater in front of herself. Subsequently, she sang to Fisher,

"[You are a happy fisherman living on a lone island, possessing an innate yet unknown precious talent.]"

"[You do not know that before you, the gloom and secrets of the Ocean are See Everything at a Glance; you do not know that before you, the Ocean's words and feelings are so intimately connected.]"

"[You scooped up a streak of heatwave from the Ocean, glimpsing the profound connection between you and the Ocean from it, yet mistakenly believed that was the entire Ocean.]"

"[You do not know that before the tsunami arrived, the Ocean had already discovered you; you do not know that before you recognized the Ocean, the Ocean had already discovered you.]"

"[At this moment, you living on land stand in place.]"

"[Either you walk towards the Ocean, or the Ocean will come towards you.]"

In that poetic and song-like language, the figure of the Authority before him abruptly became so blurry and indescribable. He merely abruptly discovered that he had unknowingly returned to Reality, and his hand was tightly gripping the Matter Renee left behind. Subsequently, from that Matter, endless swirling "∞" symbols resembling reincarnation continuously flowed out.

Those densely packed symbols, like the crawling trails of ants, quickly occupied his entire right hand. But that wasn't enough; from the symbols on his body, a disquieting unknown black Matter was seeping out bit by bit, as if there were still blinking eyes growing on top of it, making Fisher's scalp tingle from watching.

"Not good..."

Fisher's entire body went soft, but the Black Mud seeping out on his body grew more and more until the weight of that Black Mud firmly pinned him in place, slowly wrapping him up.

"Hum~ hum~ hum~"

In the distance, that humming camel seemed to have noticed the anomaly here at this moment. It ran over Following Eagerly, but after seeing Fisher's tragic state at this moment, it was frightened into freezing in place.

"Ca-"

Fisher gritted his teeth and opened his mouth, but unexpectedly, the next second that camel seemed to pretend not to see him, turned its head and left, humming a song and quickly disappearing from Fisher's field of vision.

The instant Fisher was covered by the black Matter, his expression darkened, and he affectionately greeted that camel,

"Your mom..."

In the next second, his everything was completely covered by blackness.
