Chapter 628: Farewell Scene
Fisher stood alone on the outskirts outside Dragon Court City. Behind him was the Dragon Court currently handling various affairs post-war, seemingly even busier than before the war.
Although that previous war caused the Dragon Court to suffer some losses, but since then, the most powerful enemy the Dragon Court faced in the Southern Continent had already been eliminated. What awaited them in the future would be a smooth path.
The victory of this war gave many eagerly awaiting demi-humans hope. They seemingly already saw the beautiful future, saw the possibility of them one day returning to their homeland, saw the tomorrow of driving the hateful invaders out of their homeland and purging the shameful betrayers.
Therefore, at this very moment, before the dawn of the rising sun, all vitality was the most exuberant.
Fisher's feelings towards this were limited, because his difficulties hadn't been resolved yet, the future was also undetermined. It was only because he helped Raphaela and Jasmine that made him slightly gratified. Next he still needed to continue rushing about, first returning to Naris, that was his first stop.
Right now, he stood amidst the reed grass about half a person tall. The Southern Branch Mountain Range that altered the terrain leaked out trickling streams from somewhere, filling this place. Or perhaps even before the great battle with Eliog this place already had such a scene. Anyway there were many birds here, giving him the opportunity to experiment with the Death Completion Manual's contents.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
"Pfft!"
"Chirp chirp chirp!"
Following the transmitting cutting sound of a high-speed rotating blade, amidst the fluttering reed grass, large swaths of sparrows took flight in fright. And Fisher also fiercely withdrew the blade akin to flowing water, bringing back a twitching sparrow.Under the gap of the blade edge, the sparrow losing a massive amount of fresh blood very quickly completely lost its vitality and died. Fisher then squatted beside it. Amidst his prolonged gaze and observation, his spine and skin very quickly produced a faint itchy feeling. Accompanying a cold sensation, he very quickly felt something currently twining upon that sparrow's body.
He slightly narrowed his eyes, reaching out his hand to beckon, that minute energy twining upon the sparrow all surged into his body.
At this instant, his fingers were stained with a bit of yellow grease. Not knowing what substance it was, it smelled with a pungent putrid scent.
Fisher frowned waving his hand, again reaching his hand into the river water washing a bit. After the grease disappeared the "mysterious energy" that previously surged into his body didn't disappear, conversely giving him a feeling capable of being manipulated.
He once again stretched out his fingers, using consciousness to manipulate that power to re-enter that sparrow's corpse. The next second, wisps of yellow grease also emerged out of thin air on that sparrow's body, subsequently that sparrow then bizarrely twitched standing up, twisted its head, using its incomplete body and pale pupils obediently looking at the Fisher before its eyes, obviously already obeying his commands.
"..."
How was this achieved?
Just now what lingered on the sparrow's body should have a portion of Hela's Authority, which was also the logic of death in this world. Because Fisher drew his sword striking the sparrow, therefore it died. Then what was the situation now?
The chaos of the Death Completion Manual seemingly absorbed certain manipulable energy from its process of dying. Right now what supported this dead corpse sparrow's movements was precisely this portion of power, but he hadn't figured out how the death chaos worked yet.
"The End of Impurity huh..."
Recalling the naming given to this Completion Manual upon Lord Tao's Chaos Completion Manual, Fisher couldn't help but murmur like so.
He didn't continue any further, conversely standing up hooking his finger drawing back the energy supporting that corpse sparrow's movements into his body. When that bizarre yellow grease was once again produced on his finger, that sparrow once again lost its vitality, seemingly even more withered than previously.
He wanted to try accumulating this kind of mysterious energy within his body like this. The Completion Manual said completing reading the first part required massive amounts of animal deaths, merely killing them should be completely useless. Accumulating energy like this not knowing if it was the correct method.
And next, he then took out that rune Helaire handed to him prior to leaving the Demon Dynasty. This rune could let him return into the Dynasty.
But afterwards after leaving the Southern Continent this rune would no longer function, therefore before leaving he still had to return to bid farewell to Helaire and Eliog once again.
As the rune in Fisher's hand became increasingly bright, his entire person was also instantly wrapped in the morning light seeping out from that rune. In the blink of an eye disappearing in place, once again appearing in the Gate of Knowledge region within the unbearably scorching Demon Dynasty.
He sized up the quiet surroundings, retrieving the rune back into his embrace.
This time there was only Fisher alone, because Eimhart refused to come down no matter what. Because here there was also a living evil Angel. He feared coming down would directly faint on the ground, therefore this arduous task was only left to Fisher.
He cast a glance at Helaire's tightly shut palace doors not far away, didn't directly head over there, conversely planning to go find Eliog first.
Couldn't explain clearly if it was exactly because he didn't know how to face Helaire, what kind of words and attitude to use to converse with her, then had no choice but to turn around in place bidding farewell to Eliog first.
When walking out the Gate of Knowledge arriving at the Gate of Expression's region, his nose suddenly sniffed a faint scent of saltpeter, making him couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
No way...
This was the place he converged with Eimhart and Holland when he came out previously. At the time Eliog listening and listening accidentally fell asleep. It had already been two days past, she couldn't possibly still be sleeping here right?
Fisher unbelievably jumped onto that large boulder she previously rested on. Sure enough, that demon duke of the Gate of Victory was currently sleeping sprawled on her back here, the arrow tail behind her even gently swaying.
Seemingly sensing the breeze brought by Fisher jumping onto the giant boulder, she even foolishly reached out her hand scratching her muscular lower abdomen, appearing extremely comfortable.
What kind of farewell was this still, might as well let her sleep to death here.
Fisher helplessly squatted down, just gazing at her sleeping face like this. During this moment not yet opening his mouth, the Eliog lying on the boulder seemingly sensing something suddenly the flames on her tail lit up—this represented the awakening of her consciousness.
"Ugh..." Eliog hazily opened her eyes, looking at Fisher before her eyes, not saying a single word, conversely first opening her bloody gaping mouth, letting out a super super long yawn, "Aowu~"
From her wide-open mouth, happens to perfectly see her uvula and throat emitting faint light, looking just like a pool of magma was packed in her stomach.
Also precisely because of this, when kissing her he always felt it was boiling hot.
Thinking of these irrelevancies, Fisher gently reached out tucking up the red hair strands scattered between her forehead, provoking her to squint her eyes "purring purring",
"You woke up."
"Aow, you guys finished talking?"
"..." Fisher helplessly smiled, touching her forehead and the horns on her head, saying, "Finished long ago, you have already slept for two days."
"Two days isn't long ah, previously I actually slept for several hundreds of years."
Eliog smiled, didn't get up, just languidly looking at him like this.
"For humans it's one sleep a day alright?"
"So saying back then when living in Naris with you you waking me up everyday felt very much like waking up a napping me. Besides I didn't say one sleep a day is no good ah."
Fisher sighed, looking at the magma firelight in the distance saying to Eliog,
"Next I will leave the Southern Continent, return to the West Continent once."
"Is it to meet other women, or is it to resolve that what's-it... World-Ending Prophecy?"
"... Both."
Hearing this, Eliog fiercely opened her mouth violently biting on his fingers. Canine teeth resembling a cat's bit on top of his index and ring fingers in one mouthful, bringing a bit of stinging sensation, provoking him to withdraw his hand.
"Hss..."
"You kid are quite honest oh."
But saw her shake the red hair on her shoulder, then executing a carp kip standing up. After looking Fisher up and down said,
"However you also look to be in a not bad condition, this is also good. Going this trip will be very troublesome, especially matters regarding Chaos. You take good care of yourself, I temporarily cannot be of any help to you."
"You previously have already helped me a lot."
"Humph humph, who told you to be my Favored One..."
Eliog smiled craftily, while smiling entirely suddenly remembering something again, reaching out to touch Fisher's chest. There, an imprint marked with a crown was still obvious, making her unhappily click her tongue "tsk", saying,
"Tsk, at the time restoring the main body the situation was urgent, I completely forgot to erase that guy's imprint on your body... Aiya, so annoying aow, looking at it is truly an eyesore."
She swayed her tail, pondering for a moment under Fisher's innocent gaze then hooked her finger towards him, saying,
"You come over first..."
"Doing what?"
"Aowu!"
Having said that, she once again bit on Fisher's right chest with one mouthful. Following the contact between the canine teeth and his body, a distorted circular illusory imprint in the shape of an iron fence also resembling the letter "m" also appeared above.
"Here, I wanted to do this."
"..."
You guys depositing seals here huh?
Fisher speechlessly touched his own chest. This row was simply the permanent residence for imprints.
Previously it was before transmigrating back to the past, the imprint Renee left here. That imprint later transferred to the kidney, vanishing after exploding.
Subsequently it was Helaire shattering Eliog's imprint placed on the left chest. There was also a scar left over from Fisher sealing the Soul Chaos there. Coincidentally, the two of them now resided in one place. Helaire also didn't look like having the intention to change positions.
Now it was this new imprint Eliog left on the right chest, obviously compensating for the vacancy from her imprint being erased previously.
If every lady familiar with Fisher did this, his body would probably be one imprint here one imprint there, even resulting in the absurd situation of "imprint quantity competition".
Probably because "who has two imprints", therefore "I must also have three imprints, more than her", then again because "how come she has three imprints", finally "I must definitely have four", leading to Fisher's entire body being covered in imprints top to bottom.
That scene is too beautiful, Fisher simply didn't dare to imagine.
However fortunately, this kind of bad habit was only possessed by the two Demon Gods, Renee, and Chaos. The remaining females probably couldn't even see such imprints either, Fisher then also let it be as it wished.
After being silent for a moment, Fisher again asked about Eliog's subsequent plans,
"What about after that, will you return to your main body to hibernate?"
"Otherwise what? The soul power you infused into me previously is also almost used up."
"... You know what I'm asking about." Fisher shook his head, continuing to supplement, "Afterwards is there any possibility to bring you to break free from the seal, regaining freedom."
"What, do you feel this world isn't chaotic enough?"
Eliog smiled. Although the words were said as such, the gaze was joyfully looking at him, continuing to say,
"Well, told you previously. When Mother Goddess used the power of gods to cast the seal upon us, the interference of Her True God's power with reality resulted in irreversible consequences. The power of the Crevice was weakened, the operating rules of reality were also partially affected. The Sanctuary collapsed because of this, Dagon was also affected, ultimately resulting in Him unable to retrieve the Blessing granted to Fafnir, allowing it to be contaminated. Until breaking out completely previously, igniting the Crevice...
"Fisher, [Gods interfering with the world will have severe consequences], this isn't an empty phrase. The Mother Goddess's actions previously still had Dagon's Crevice catching the bottom, and once the Crevice is completely burned out, at that time the Authority of Chaos completely surfaces, probably all currently operating rules will collapse. Therefore, when Mother Goddess issued such an imprisonment, She already made preparations for an irreconcilable fight to the death. Who knows how we demons provoked Her.
"Furthermore the seal of we Demon-kin are connected together. Even if putting me out, I still possess a large pile of headache-inducing compatriots. They will only be a thousand times ten thousand times more difficult to communicate with than Barbatos and Agreas. Although it wouldn't be completely reduced to being a calamity like Chaos, it's definitely also very troublesome anyhow. And then, finally..."
While speaking, she then gently hooked her finger, hooking over both Fisher's chin and face. Subsequently domineeringly kissing Fisher's lips, letting the warm touch and breath slap upon his face. Yet before having the time to deepen it, Eliog smiled and withdrew,
"Finally it's, right now I am already very satisfied. The main body to me is the origin of my nature, releasing or not makes no difference to me, I'm not completely unable to move. As long as there is soul power, we can meet anytime. Let alone that guy Baimon hasn't held back any good farts all along, but this matter indeed ought to thank her. After you finish busying with all this, come find me again... Of course, at that time best not go finding Baimon, otherwise..."
Looking at the Eliog identical to a cat before his eyes, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up a bit. But actually he perhaps possessed another clue capable of helping Eliog escape from the seal, which was the power related to "Gui" Helaire previously used to release Barbatos and the others.
But what she said was indeed not wrong either, at least have to wait until all this is over.
He still had to toil for the World-Ending Prophecy of this world. Eliog knowing she couldn't help him anymore, therefore only spoke like this.
"Waiting until everything is over, either I die, or I will definitely return to find you."
"... Ptooie."
Eliog pinched Fisher's face, tugging the mouth he used to say these words out of shape, seemingly fearing these words were unlucky.
But she didn't say any other words, merely continued stretching, looking into the distance.
To her, the meaning of stretching perhaps was exactly the opposite. Other people stretching is to lift the spirits, relax the body, while she... mmn, is to prepare in advance for the next sleep.
"Alright, I will await you to come find me when the time comes... As for now, do you want to escort me back to sleep, D, e, a, r?"
When saying these words, she even provocatively looked towards the Helaire imprint before Fisher's left chest, seemingly engaging in a magical battle across space with Helaire like that, defeating the opponent on such verbality.
"..."
Perhaps without Fisher saying nor Eliog guessing, she should know Fisher's farewell journey returning this time also included Helaire's stop. Just that she seemingly didn't care. Because even if she knew, she also confidently believed her importance to Fisher wasn't weaker than that Baimon.
Just like the question Eimhart had privately asked Fisher tirelessly all along,
"You have known so many ladies, who exactly do you like the most?"
Of course, every time Fisher responded with silence.
It wasn't that the desire for survival was causing mischief, afraid saying a certain answer to let Eimhart know, later saying it for those females to hear. It was that he truly didn't know the answer.
Perhaps answering this question from the perspective of a scumbag is more appropriate?
When I am with whoever, I like whoever the most?
Then when spending time with Raphaela and Jasmine last night who did he like more again?
Fisher didn't know the answer, merely smiling holding Eliog's hand, responding in a low voice,
"Alright, dear."
"Purr purr~"
Eliog satisfiedly gripped his hand. The other hand rested on her waist, her tail raising looking finally towards the direction where the Gate of Expression led to the Gate of Carnal Desire, preparing to slowly walk returning to the layer land of her main body with Fisher.
Along the way, the idle chatter they conversed also slowly transmitted over, making those little demons and demon attendants hiding due to fearing them unable to hear clearly.
"Ugh, were you truly not frightened by my main body back then? I have six hands oh, and also grew so tall, you only reach my chest here ey..."
"Truly not."
"Could it be you have dealt with guys grown even weirder than me aow?"
"... That's also not it."
"Purr purr~"
"What's wrong, suddenly looking at me like this?"
"Nothing, just suddenly a bit curious, doing that kind of thing with you using the main body what kind of feeling would it be... Eh, thinking about it like this it seems I also have the urge to regain freedom."
"How come having motivation in this kind of strange place..."
"Purr purr~"
"What's wrong again, the gaze is even weirder."
"Hehe, how about..."
"How about?"
"How about, before I fall asleep, we do it one more time aow?"
"..."
This is the scene of Fisher bidding farewell to the cute Eliog before leaving.
