The Handbook for Completing Demi-Human Girls

Chapter 715: Magic Lord

Seeing the appearance of "Teacher Fisher" wearing a kasaya smiling and reaching out his hand towards her before her eyes, Jasmine's gaze also drifted bit by bit as if intoxicated by mellow red wine.

So, the one Teacher Fisher liked the most most most was actually herself?

She pursed her lips, but the blush on her slightly red cheeks grew heavier and heavier. The corners of her mouth also hooked upwards uncontrollably, and she couldn't suppress her secret joy,

"Hehe... Hehe..."

But laughing and laughing, Jasmine seemed to sober up a bit. Shaking her head, she hurriedly said,

"But Rabfaela is still waiting for Teacher Fisher... waiting for you... If it's like this, Raphaela, she..."

Specks of Buddhist incense wafted from "Teacher Fisher's" body. Reaching out a hand towards Jasmine at the same time, he said to her,

"But, you have waited for me for so long, don't you feel unwilling? Obviously before deciding to go to death, I even entrusted my close friend to take care of the human who might bear my existence. But now, you can't even stay by your side for a long time..."

His bitterly heartbroken appearance made Jasmine feel confused, because Jasmine had never heard of anything Teacher Fisher said right now. But somewhere unseen, her inner heart actually seemed to be guided by "Fisher's" words, as if saying the thoughts and feelings she had suppressed deep in her soul for many years.

"Don't you want to make me belong to you alone? What Angel Helaire, what Raphaela, wouldn't it be better to let them go to hell?""I- I'm not, I didn't..."

She murmured and retreated, but the more she retreated, the more cramped the space under the table behind her seemed. A palm coming from nowhere suddenly pressed down on her shoulder, making Jasmine's pupils shrink slightly. At this moment, the long blue hair on her head had completely turned black, and the azure blue in her pupils was totally obliterated, turning into a deep and painful brownish-black.

Between the twisting of the Buddhist scriptures, an angry roar suppressed for a long time squeezed out with difficulty and pain from Jasmine's throat.

"You false shadow, how long are you going to pester me for?!"

She paused slightly, not knowing why she would say such words. But in her eyes, her hand had already raised uncontrollably, like a move engraved in her genetic instinct. Under the manipulation of her soul, streaks of the black color of the Buddhist scriptures instantly turned into extremely precise Magic Crests, and subsequently those Crests emitted a bizarre scarlet color...

"Buzz!"

At this moment outside the tent, Xuan Can who was sitting quietly in the tent suddenly opened her eyes. In just an instant, her medium violently wrapped up the entire space within a radius of several miles.

And sure enough, in the next moment, an extremely dense fluctuation of the World's Echo blossomed from Jasmine's tent. Closely followed, a mysterious magic comparable to a Mythic Rank instantly erupted, blooming violently in the night sky like a cross.

Due to the wrapping of Xuan Can's medium, the entire Saint-Nazareth urban area remained dead silent. Only a minority of people who were still awake suddenly saw that white light that seemingly wanted to pierce through the heavenly dome.

And within the medium, Raphaela who was still fast asleep instinctively felt danger as well. She opened her eyes instantly, but the white light before her eyes had already swallowed over. She had no time to think in detail. A longspear transformed from Dragon Blood stretched out in her hand to wrap herself up.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

This is...

Magic?!

Raphaela had a foundation in magic. When that powerful magic power enveloped over, she recognized what the foundational source of this massive power was. But she had never seen Fisher cast a magic exceeding the Mythic Rank by his side. Or rather, magic above the Mythic Rank was never designed for humans in the first place, but exclusively someone's patent...

"Ugh!"

Gritting her teeth, Raphaela exerted her strength to force herself to hold on, but still couldn't match that incomparably powerful magic energy. After the tent was the first to fly out, her entire person could no longer support herself, being lifted and flown up into the sky.

But before she had any movement, Xuan Can's figure suddenly appeared behind her. She effortlessly reached out to catch Raphaela's body, and returned to the surface at a speed fast as lightning.

In the sky above, her medium operated automatically, pulling all the rest of the people around who couldn't dodge in time backward, exclusively leaving her and Raphaela blocking in front of that massive white cross that was blossoming open.

Raphaela's long red hair was blown frantically by the terrifying shockwaves generated from Xuan Can's medium suppressing it. Raising her dragon claws to cover her eyes, she asked with difficulty,

"Aunt Xuan Can, what on earth is this..."

Xuan Can didn't answer, merely bearing a serious expression operating her medium to press that massive white cross back to its original place bit by bit. But the more she did so, the stronger the resistance she could feel.

"Rumble!!"

"Stop!! Stop quickly!! God of Destruction, stop quickly!!"

Right at this moment, an anxious shout sounded from behind. Xuan Can remained motionless. Looking back, Raphaela saw the Lord of Fate Aris entangled with golden silk threads flying towards this side with an anxious and agitated expression.

"I recognize this magic... It's Asuka's magic! This is the Apostle Magic she created herself... She's back, she's back here, right? Stop, God of Destruction!"

"Asu... ka?"

Raphaela turned her head doubtfully. Conversely, Xuan Can sighed, and her expression grew even colder.

Only to see Xuan Can suddenly raise her hand. The medium around Aris instantly pressed down perfectly on her like a massive mountain, preventing her from continuing to approach this place. And simultaneously, without stopping for a moment, Xuan Can raised her other hand and flicked her backhand. That medium violently pierced through the blossoming Apostle Magic before her eyes.

"Rumble!!"

That white cross shattered open like glass, and very quickly revealed Jasmine who was wrapped within the white cross.

Sharp-eyed, Raphaela quickly saw Jasmine's figure clearly. Looking at the black-haired Whale-kin wrapped by Buddhist scriptures within the cross, Raphaela's expression became astonished.

"Jasmine? How could it..."

Xuan Can continued to say nothing. Looking at Jasmine struggling with her eyes closed in that white cross and covered in Buddhist scriptures all over her body, her gaze couldn't help but flicker, unknown if it was because she recalled the past.

She suddenly recalled the time she first met this child. At that time she was still young and full of vitality, struggling to survive in this world like a fledgling bird that had just left the nest.

That was exactly when she had just left her so-called teacher. No matter how much Asuka exaggerated her own strength, she still lived a reluctant and difficult life under the pursuit of Mythical Species filling the sky. It was Gou Wen and Mikhail who secretly helped her.

Of course, since Gou Wen reached out to help this junior, Xuan Can couldn't be bypassed.

At that time, Xuan Can who had witnessed the rebellion of the Ideal State from afar rightfully agreed with the thought that all Transferred Persons were a scourge. Perhaps to her and most other Mythical Species, Transferred Persons were demons silently hiding bombs waiting to exact revenge on the world.

But after getting along, Xuan Can realized that the so-called Transferred Persons perhaps possessed the same souls as them.

Asuka stayed with the Xuan Can and Gou Wen couple for a very long time. Even afterwards when Asuka had to leave to search for the whereabouts of other Transferred Persons, attempting to "Complete" them to prevent them from devolving into a scourge, Xuan Can and Gou Wen still frequently contacted Asuka.

Having successively been hurt by two "mothers," Asuka had also become vigilant, no longer daring to entrust any similar emotions to others; at that time, Xuan Can was already at the Mythic Rank, which also meant that starting from that time, Xuan Can no longer had the possibility of having her own children. It was just that Xuan Can at that time was still in a frivolous temperament, and of course felt indifferent regarding descendants.

She merely felt this Transferred Person was very pitiful, feeling a kind child like her shouldn't receive such treatment, and hence naturally took special care of her with Gou Wen...

Feelings of when she was tortured and her mind disturbed by that Chaos in the past inevitably surfaced in Xuan Can's eyes. Inevitably surfacing was how she lost her rationale under the erosion of the Scarlet Mist, throwing herself into her own embrace and crying out screaming the title of mother...

She had already suffered in that pollution for as long as ten thousand years. Right now, having finally abandoned everything of the past with great difficulty, and having finally obtained everything she dreamed of in the past with great difficulty, all of this amounted to no more than a little over a hundred years. Why make her return to that hell again at this moment?

The reason why Xuan Can and Gou Wen were so dissatisfied with the arrangement of Jasmine returning to the Spirit World originated from this. Fisher crossed ten thousand years to return to the present day, but Gou Wen and Xuan Can watched helplessly as that child headed towards tragedy...

"Tsk..."

Xuan Can clicked her tongue lightly, and the force of her hand suppressing that powerful magic magnified once again. After Xuan Can finished repairing her Laws, having obtained complete power, she just moved slightly, and the cracks on the surface of that magic multiplied. The resonance of the world was also suppressed to a misfire by Xuan Can's powerful medium, gradually shrinking down to a certain extent.

"Crack crack crack crack!"

In the next second, all the white crosses enveloping Jasmine abruptly cracked open, revealing Jasmine whose Buddhist scriptures on her body were fading bit by bit within.

Xuan Can's medium withdrew. The suppressed Aris hurriedly raised her head to look in the direction of that cross. She anticipated seeing that President she had waited for for many years from within. Her breathing stagnated when seeing that black long hair fluttering in the wind, but closely following, the whale ears and long tail that entered her eyes made her suspended heart shatter apart.

That clearly wasn't Asuka, but why...

Aris's pupils shrunk slightly. Xuan Can and Raphaela hurriedly arrived in front of Jasmine, only to see her rubbing her own eyes exhaustedly and whimpering softly,

"Mother, Raphaela, Teacher Fisher, what happened to me just now... It felt so strange..."

Raphaela, who was just about to step forward, paused slightly upon hearing this. She turned to look at the expressionless Xuan Can and said blankly,

"Fisher? Jasmine... Fisher isn't here..."

"He isn't?"

Jasmine rubbed her own eyes, then muttered and shook her head. Reaching out a hand pointing beside Raphaela, she said,

"But, Teacher Fisher is clearly right there. He even said that if seeing him talking to other women, to... beat him to death... He also said he likes me the most... Hehe..."

"..."

Raphaela shot a weird look at the empty space beside her, helplessly reaching out to pinch her chubby baby face, saying,

"I think you're really sleepy, Jasmine."

Conversely, Xuan Can beside them seemed long accustomed to this strangeness. She reached out and patted Jasmine's head, her words remaining calm, even bringing up a bit of doting,

"Mhm, it's fine. Later you just rest by my side with your Teacher Fisher."

"Mhm..."

Jasmine nodded, exhaustedly throwing herself into Xuan Can's embrace and closing her eyes contentedly.

Raphaela opened her mouth and frowned. And behind her, Aris with a face full of disbelief also hurriedly rushed forward wanting to look at Jasmine, but was stopped by Raphaela reaching out her hand.

"Wait a moment, Miss Aris..."

"What exactly is going on, God of Destruction? Tell me, that magic just now was clearly Asuka's magic! Right, you should have recognized it!"

"Asuka..."

Raphaela chewed on this name, while Xuan Can's expression didn't look too good.

"Your President won't appear again. Go back to rest."

"But..."

Yet Xuan Can no longer paid attention to her. Merely turning her head to look at Raphaela beside her, she said to her,

"Raphaela, when early morning reaches tomorrow, I will personally bring Jasmine to temporarily leave for the Spirit World. The aftermath of everything here will be handed over to you all."

"Mhm, Aunt Xuan Can."

Xuan Can nodded, then hugging Jasmine whose black hair slowly changed back to azure blue in her embrace, she walked towards her original resting place on the other side, leaving behind Aris with a face of unwillingness and Raphaela who looked at the mess all over the ground with a bit of a headache.

In the Spirit World, inside the Angel's Shelter.

Standing on the deck of the Cardinal Warship, Fisher suddenly involuntarily shuddered for some unknown reason. Touching his nose, he watched David starting this warship manufactured by Alajina in the cockpit. Following the warship slowly swaying, Emhart also secretly poked his head out from Fisher's embrace. Seeing Renee wandering around, he shrank back into his embrace again like a mouse seeing a cat.

The regret in his heart right now ah. Had he known earlier, he wouldn't have succumbed to the majesty of the Xuan Can and Jasmine mother-daughter duo back then. Now look, not seeing even a single person's shadow after arriving at the Spirit World, and just like how he was loyal to Renee previously but she didn't show her face as a result...

No, why does whoever's side I stand on not appear? Could it be that my, the great Book Viscount Emhart's, judgment really has problems?

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

"Mr. Fisher, you can move away the material of the ceiling..."

"Okay."

Fisher manipulated the Fluid Sword to open a gap above. Just when Fisher vigilantly used Gou Wen's small boat to open a protective shield to cover the entire warship, he surprisingly discovered that outside was pitch-black, without seeing the slightest sign of scarlet mist.

"This is..."

Renee leaned against the guardrail of the deck. Looking at the scene outside, she said,

"The pollution should have been attracted away by something else, temporarily leaving this area. After the thing attracting it disappears later, it will unconsciously spread back again..."

Fisher frowned. Generally speaking, this kind of situation should be related to Jasmine in reality. But he hadn't reached the Twentieth-Tier Rank yet, and didn't dare look towards the position of the Crevice.

Fortunately the Destiny Completion Manual didn't require any reading conditions, feeling like it could be considered the lowest reading threshold among these Outer Gods. Otherwise Aris wouldn't have been able to drag on until now either, and it also smoothly allowed him to meet the conditions for advancement.

It was exactly also because of the sudden dissipation of that scarlet mist that let the Spirit World reveal its originally profound and secluded appearance. Fisher looked at deep space all around. Turning his head to measure giving a glance at the mushroom umbrella-like shelter, he suddenly saw a massive shattered statue not far away in the darkness outside the shelter.

"That is..."

He squinted his eyes, looking at that massive statue of a person bearing a hazy rugged aesthetic with difficulty. Only after half a day of identification did he recognize that it was the lower body of a woman, while the upper body of that statue was already shattered.

[You have unlocked the map: Statue of the Magic Lord · Three]

"Statue of the Magic Lord?"

Fisher muttered a sentence. The Renee beside him was somewhat astounded, asking Fisher doubtfully,

"You actually recognized the true body of that statue? Clearly it doesn't even have a head."

Fisher shot a glance at Renee's face full of suspicious expression, merely saying,

"I also have a Completion Manual, and have a connection with the Creation Society. I just felt like it... Was this statue built by members of the Creation Society? Why is it already shattered?"

Looking at the statue with its upper body shattered in the dark deep space, Renee shook her head and said,

"No, this statue was built by my previous incarnation. Moreover, there isn't just this one, there are fully as many as seven."

"Built by the Mother Goddess..."

The corners of Renee's mouth curled up slightly, it was just that the smile carried a bit of sadness,

"My previous incarnation and that Transferred Person were very good friends. The solitude since my birth wasn't so etched in bones and heart because I have you. And it was exactly also because of that close friend of Hers that my previous incarnation could distance Herself from loneliness. The Stars are followers of my previous incarnation. Much like humans, They similarly respectfully refer to my previous incarnation as 'Mother Goddess'. They esteem Her, support Her, and were also sheltered by my previous incarnation...

"When the Spirit World pollution just erupted, it was my previous incarnation who mediated them. That's why even when the Spirit World pollution was at its peak back then, only five relatively weak Chaos-kins crossed the Crevice to enter reality. But all of this changed after my previous incarnation interfered with reality and was besieged by the Gods. She completely perished, and I was subsequently born... The Stars believed it was that Magic Lord who caused the perishing of my previous incarnation. Therefore they resented her. After the perishing of my previous incarnation, they completely ruined all these Magic Lord statues built by Her."

Fisher detected the sadness in Renee's tone. It was because of those Stars.

"They don't view you as the Mother Goddess, right?"

"Mhm, although I also feel this way. But actually from the very beginning, they still viewed me as the Mother Goddess. After all, we are all consciousnesses born from one Authority. They hoped I would reject the treaty established by the Gods, hoped I would lead them to escape the pain of the Spirit World pollution. But for me who was just born, I didn't even know them, how could I know so much? Thus, amidst disappointments time after time, they completely broke off relations with me, and their address towards me changed from 'Mother Goddess' to 'Authority'..."
