"Fisher!"
Around the coast, above the ritual of summoning the demon gods, the viscous scarlet like a sea of blood was fading little by little with Fisher's movements, as if the branches that had lost their roots could only wither, and the entire earth and sky were quiet, as if nothing that had just happened had never happened.
Seeing that the sky and the earth were quiet, making Fisher's figure very clear, Rafael and Jasmine hurriedly ran to the shore.
At the center of the ritual, they first saw the girl named "Ingrid" lying unconscious on her side, and Fisher was half-kneeling in front of her, as if something was squirming, or rather, his own body was wriggling irregularly.
But long before the two ladies arrived, he reverted to his original human form.
Hearing the sound next to him, Fisher subconsciously turned his head, but there was almost no expression on his face, his eyes were a little empty, and he looked quite distracted.
"Fisher?"
Seeing this, Rafael took the lead in opening his mouth with some concern, but Fisher in front of him didn't react for a while when he heard this, and even Emhart on his shoulder became nervous, after all, he was the closest to Fisher just now, and of course he knew what happened just now, so he was extremely worried,
"Fisher, are you alright, you speak!"
But what they didn't know was that at this moment, in front of Fisher's blurred vision, in the permanent, piercing ringing and whispering of tinnitus, he seemed to see a gray, dark-shrouded sky. The sky was covered with a continuous rain, enveloping the light of all things, leaving only the sound of the sword-like wind passing through my ears.
Right in the middle of the dark sky, Fisher's vision was filled with a mammoth that looked exceptionally strong.
It was a dragon with many halos around it, full of ineffable divinity!
At this moment, there was a huge golden-colored sword wound hanging from the shoulder of the dragon in the sky, but this terrible wound did not affect his terror in the slightest, he only stared coldly at "himself", as if he was looking at a hated mortal enemy.
Is that the dragon god Femabaha?
"You damn shifter!!"
He roared at himself with extreme anger, as if the heavens and the earth were going to be pulled by his emotions and change color, but "himself" seemed to feel nothing, like an emotionless piece of wood or stone, completely unmoved, and only doing his own thing.
As the dragon's extremely angry roar rang out, a crimson breath that could penetrate the continent continued to converge in his mouth, condensing a terrifying destructive power that made people chill.
It was Fehma's anger that brought Fisher back to his senses, and he was slightly stunned, looking down at "himself" body, but he didn't see any human form in the blur.
All he could see was a bubbling and expanding mass of indescribable black sludge.
Is this yourself?
Still is
While Fisher was stagnating, the sludge on his "own" body had spread out in all directions like a tsunami completely uncontrollably. The black mud like a huge wave instantly corroded the exquisite and magnificent buildings around it, swallowing the souls of the dragons and various sub-races in the city who were constantly fleeing in panic, like a black hole without intelligence and purpose, greedily demanding everything around it.
And when he saw what "himself" had done, the dragon was even more angry in the sky!
"Roar!!"
The thunderous roar rekindled, and the breath in the other party's mouth came uncontrollably in an instant, and just as the confrontation between "black mud" and "breath" was about to occur, the illusion in front of Fisher's eyes also came to an abrupt end, and what appeared at this moment was not the scene of the catastrophe that shattered the earth, but the worried faces of Rafael and Jasmine.
"Fisher?!"
"Hah"
Fisher opened his mouth, his wheezing became heavier, and his black eyes, which seemed to be scattered into stars, condensed little by little, like a chameleon changing back to its own color, and the terrifying appearance made Rafael gasp, not knowing what had happened to Fisher all these 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 okay, Mr. Fisher!"
Rafael's face was about to make physical contact, but Jasmine, who was next to her, hugged Fisher first, causing her expression to freeze in place.
She pouted imperceptibly, then turned her head away, and gently tugged at Jasmine's robe with her paws as she looked around, and when Jasmine turned her head consciously, Rafael had already stood up with a stinky face, and went to deal with the soldiers who didn't know anything behind.
"We'll deal with this situation later, Jasmine, and I'll take care of you to bring Fisher and this human with a name first. There's too much movement here, and we'll talk about other things later. ”
"Well, Rafael."
Jasmine also realized that her movements were a little excessive, especially in front of Rafael. She could feel that Rafael didn't care, but because she still had to face a lot of problems and didn't want to destroy the feelings between them, she endured it again and again.
Correspondingly, you should also pay attention to one point.
She pursed her lips and stood up, looking at Fisher, who was not fully awake in front of her, and Ingrid, who had fallen unconscious to the ground behind him, and was about to make a move, but she realized that something was wrong.
She looked behind Ingrid with some confusion, and suddenly found that the two headless corpses that seemed to be demons had completely disappeared, and she wondered if they had been consumed in the ritual just now.
"Teacher Fisher, you can rest here first, and I'll arrange other things."
Since the previous incident on the shore, the entire Red Dragon Court has become restless, and Rafael has blocked the news, and only a few people know exactly what happened. But this did not prevent the people of the Dragon Court from having all kinds of speculations about the cause of the loud noise.
Some say that it was called by the puppet court; It is also said that the soldiers of the shore defense line tried to defect and flee to the north, but were discovered by the queen; Well, even more so, they thought it was a curse, saying that it was the revelation of the war sent down by the gods.
All in all, the entire Red Dragon Court is now busy for the time being, 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 treatment, and Fisher could make sure that he had only eaten Barbatos's sigil, that his soul was not damaged, and that the rest of his wounds would be healed by the dragon's doctors.
When it was quiet, only Fisher and Emhart were left in the room, who had their eyes closed.
Emhardt flew around him for a moment, and saw that he hadn't told him about Jasmine's presence for a long time, and knew that something was wrong.
He hurriedly flew around Fisher again and asked,
"Fisher, what the hell is going on with your body, this level of chaos in your soul too"
Hearing this, Fisher also opened his eyes, he glanced at Emhart, who was next to him with a concerned gaze, and explained,
"Remember when I was in the North, I showed you some knowledge?"
"You mean the forbidden confusion of knowledge?"
After being reminded by Fisher, Emhart quickly remembered the painful memory of being confused after reading a few words, he shook his head, and quickly exclaimed,
"No wonder you've entered such a strange rank of mythology, you. Didn't I tell you to stop reading those things? Otherwise, sooner or later, you'll either go crazy or become a monster! ”
Fisher suddenly thought of the hallucination caused by using the power of the soul to complete the manual just now to devour the imprint on Ingrid's soul, and the black mud that would absorb the soul may be his future fate.
He shook his head and said with a smile,
"I had given up reading them before, and part of the reason I entered the Mythic Rank was to settle my debts properly, and then I stopped there, but now it seems that I can't stop like this. You said before that Barbatos is a demon duke, then his body should have eighteenth rank, and I have just entered the mythic rank, that is, the fifteenth rank, if he wants to make a move against the Dragon Court, what should Rafael and Jasmine do? ”
Emhart was slightly stunned, and then listened to Fisher continue,
"And they are in the army of Saint Nari, I don't believe that Elizabeth will have such a ability to drive this group of demon species that destroy the world, they must have something to ask for Nari and Elizabeth. Just to protect them, I'm going to have to climb the ladder again.
"But after all, I'm just a human being with only zero ranks, and in this world where all levels are fixed, I can only use chaos that cannot be controlled by the rules when I enter the mythical rank, and even go backwards. I know the side effects, but that's the only way to do it. ”
Emhardt opened his mouth, and after a long time, he gritted his teeth and held back a sentence,
"It's all to blame!!"
Fisher couldn't laugh or cry, so he asked,
"What's this about Heller?"
"You forget, she's also a member of the Devil, and the only free one for thousands of years. She must have done a lot of bad things in the four and a half years since we left, including the fact that the demons were able to escape! ”
"So, what is her purpose?"
Emhardt's indignant expression froze suddenly, he could know that Baimon was very bad and bad, but when it came to her specific purpose, he didn't know, the only thing he could be sure of was that her purpose was not pure!
Fortunately, Fisher didn't expect Emhardt to give the answer, because this question might be what he wanted to explore. It's just that there are too few clues at present, and he can't come up with any meaningful conclusions, so he can only focus on the problem at hand.
"Regardless of whether this group of demons was released and had anything to do with Helaire, but the problem of the demons is real, I have to face it, who told me to be so greedy, I asked for too much at the time, and now it's time to pay back."
I'm just worried that you're going to do bad things with good intentions. With the help of such a dangerous thing as chaotic knowledge, I am 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 want you to be safe, except when they find out about each other's existence. ”
Fisher smiled and shook his head, but his heart became a little solemn,
"I'll be careful, Emhat."
Although in the past Sanctuary, the mysterious elf "Tsuki" reminded him that there seemed to be something special about Chaos, but Fisher certainly did not let this hold him back.
Even if the sequelae of his reading and finishing the manual were much better than those of the Creations Society, there were still sequelae, otherwise he wouldn't have hallucinated out of control just now. Reading the handbook is like walking a tightrope for Fisher, and he has to be careful if he is not careful, he will fall off a cliff.
Another problem is that there is a large gap between the mythical ranks. Not to mention that he is fifteenth-ranked, Barbatos eighteenth-rank, even if he is seventeenth-rank, he has no chance of winning against Barbatos.
What's more, there was another demon's name in the mouths of the two demon scoons just now: "Agares".
Fisher had heard the name from Elliog and Emhart, and the demon seemed to have a good relationship with Elliog, and he also possessed eighteenth-order abilities.
In other words, it is conservatively estimated that Fisher also has to face two eighteenth-order demons at the same time, and he is now only fifteenth-rank.
This is a gap that borders on hopelessness.
According to the hints given by Yaren Niang to complete the manual, if he wants to advance to the sixteenth rank, he needs to read the soul completion manual in its entirety. Assuming that reading a supplementary manual can only advance to the first rank, he also needs three supplementary manuals to reach the eighteenth rank, and Yaren Niang does not count after completing the manual, then he only has two copies in his hand, that is, soul and life, which can only reach the seventeenth rank.
Not only did he need to find other manuals to complete to reach the eighteenth rank, he also needed an ally who could fight side by side.
After completing the line of the manual, she may be able to ask for help from the Secretary of Destiny, she hopes that she will find the Secretary of Magic, although she has only found the past Tang Ze Asuka, but at least she has a little clue, and she should be able to ask for a little help from the Creation Society, which now does not know if it has disbanded or collapsed.
As for the allies this path .
The first thing that came to his mind was Renee, because Renee's rank was high enough that it didn't even matter if she was out of the ordinary. If she was a twenty-order demigod, it would undoubtedly be wise to ask her for help, but the problem was that she might be a true god above the twenty-order rank.
And the iron law that Fisher has heard more than once has been heard by Fisher that true gods can't intervene in the world no matter what, so Renee basically didn't really do anything in reality, and used magic and other bizarre little means to deal with what happened.
And what about the other allies who can be considered?
Heller?
Well, I still can't figure out if the appearance of the demon has anything to do with her, and I don't know where she is, so it's probably a little difficult.
Elliog?
It seems to be a demon too, I don't know if she came out of the Demon Dynasty, and even if she did, she might be on the side of Agares and Barbatos?
Hey, there seems to be a small problem.
Fisher suddenly remembered that the mark on his chest that he had just seen was Herel's. But when he left St. Nari, the two demon squires in the street of Smuggler seemed to have told him that he had the mark of Duke Elliog on his body?
That is, Hellaire wiped her mark?
Although his relationship with Elliog is a little unclear, he always has a hunch that it would not be good for Elliog to see her mark erased
Okay, after thinking about it, the things of the allies basically don't have to be considered.
The only mythical species that still exists is demons, and it just so happens that this mythical species is now its enemy.
And the mythical rank other than the demon is probably only himself, how can this be fought?
Fisher was a little isolated, but he had to bite the bullet and go on anyway, and now it was necessary to continue reading the supplementary manual.
It starts with the soul in your own hand to complete the manual, and then the life to complete the manual, and then to talk about the rest
Looking at Fisher's determined appearance, Emhart couldn't persuade him anymore, he just flew onto Fisher's shoulder and said,
"Well, in that case, I will also 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, why didn't you tell me?"
"Uh, this. That what? Jasmine here? I've just found out. Hey, that's pretty unexpected."
Speaking of this, Emhardt's eyes quickly drifted, and he muttered that he was about to fly up and run away, when he was caught by Fisher with a blank face, eager to open his little belly to see what was being remembered inside.
"You traitor, you're still quibbling."
"Whoa, who told me to sleep outside for one night! Don't blame me! ”
"Knock knock!"
It was at this moment that there was a sudden knock on the door of the room, and the fight between Fisher and Emhart came to an abrupt end.
Fisher raised an eyebrow and sent Emhart flying, and he spoke,
"Please come in."
"Fisher"
The door was opened, revealing a bespectacled, cautious Mill outside, and she looked at Fisher before speaking to him,
"The young lady named 'Ingrid' has woken up, but she seems to have been unconscious, as if she had been having nightmares."
"But she said she wanted to see you, saying that in a dream she got some news about a man called . Well, the things of Bymon want to tell you. ”
Fisher opened his mouth and didn't speak, but Emhart jumped up and shouted,
", Bymun!"
Asking for votes, tips, and support is very important to me!
Thank you very much for your support!
