Chapter 1336: Chapter 22: News (3)

Fisher shook his head with a smile, but his heart gradually grew heavy,

"I will be careful, Emhardt."

Although in the past, during his time in the Holy Land, he was warned by that mysterious elf "Gui" that there seemed to be something special about him concerning Chaos, Fisher definitely wouldn’t become complacent because of this.

Even if the aftereffects of reading the Completion Manual were better for him than those for the bunch of guys at the Creation Society, there were still aftereffects; otherwise, he wouldn’t have experienced an uncontrolled hallucination just now. For Fisher, reading the Completion Manual was like walking on a tightrope, with the slightest mistake leading to a fall into an abyss, so he had to be careful.

Another problem was that the gap between Mythical Ranks was significant. Never mind his Fifteenth Rank compared to Barbatos’s Eighteenth Rank; even if he were at the Seventeenth Rank, he would stand no chance against Barbatos.

Moreover, from the two demon servants just now, another demon’s name had emerged: "Agares."

Fisher had heard this name before, from Elliog and Emhardt. This demon seemed to have a good relationship with Elliog and also possessed Eighteenth Rank abilities.

This meant that, conservatively estimated, Fisher would have to face two Eighteenth Rank demons, while he himself was only at the Fifteenth Rank.

This was a gap that bordered on despair.

According to the prompts from the Demi-human Girls Completion Manual, he needed to fully read the Soul Completion Manual to advance to the Sixteenth Rank. Assuming that reading one Completion Manual could only raise him by one rank, he would need three Completion Manuals to reach the Eighteenth Rank. Since the Demi-human Girls Completion Manual didn’t count, he only had two in hand, namely Soul and Life, which would only just barely get him to the Seventeenth Rank.

He not only needed to find other Completion Manuals to reach the Eighteenth Rank, but also needed an ally who could fight alongside him.

For the Completion Manual path, he might seek help from the Cardinal of Destiny, who hoped he would find the Magic Minister. Although he only found the past Tangze Asuka, at least he had a clue, and might seek some help from the Creation Society, which he didn’t know whether it was disbanded or had collapsed by now.

As for the ally path...

The first person he thought of was Renie, because Renie’s rank was high enough that if she stepped in, these issues wouldn’t even be problems. If she were a Twentieth Rank demigod, seeking her help would undoubtedly be wise, but the issue was, she might be a True God above Twentieth Rank.

And True Gods, no matter what, could never intervene in the world; Fisher had heard this iron rule more than once. So Renie, in reality, hardly ever intervened directly but dealt with occurrences through magic and other strange little means.

So what other allies could he consider?

Helair?

Well, it was unclear whether she had anything to do with the demon’s appearance, and he didn’t know where she was; it was quite difficult. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Elliog?

Seems like another demon; whether she has left the Demon Dynasty is unknown, and even if she did, she might stand with Agares and Barbatos?

Hmm, it seems there’s a small problem...

Fisher suddenly recalled seeing a seal of Helair on his chest earlier. But when leaving Saint Nali, the two demon servants on Snake Head Street said that he bore the seal of Duke Elliog?

That is to say, did Helair erase her seal?

Although his relationship with Elliog the cat was a bit ambiguous, he had a premonition that it wouldn’t be good if Elliog saw her seal being removed...

Alright, after considering a round, the ally issue was essentially moot.

The only existing mythical species might just be demons, and conveniently, this mythical species was now his enemy.

Beyond demons, he might be the only one at the Mythical Rank; how was he supposed to fight?

Fisher felt somewhat isolated and helpless, but could only press on, knowing that continuing to read the Completion Manuals was necessary.

Starting with the Soul Completion Manual in his hand, then moving on to the Life Completion Manual, and then considering others...

Seeing Fisher’s determined expression, Emhardt couldn’t persuade him further, so he simply flew to Fisher’s shoulder, saying,

"Alright, since it’s like this, I will accompany you, and I will supervise you."

Fisher smiled slightly, but suddenly remembered something, looking at him and asking,

"By the way, you knew Moli was here earlier; why didn’t you tell me?"

"Uh, this...that...what? Moli is here? I only just found out too...huh, quite unexpected..."

Speaking of this, Emhardt’s gaze quickly drifted, mumbling as he was about to fly away to escape, only to be caught by Fisher with a blank expression, almost wanting to turn him over and see what was noted inside his little belly,

"You traitor, still making excuses."

"Waaah, who told you to make me sleep outside for a night! It’s not my fault aaaah!"

"Knock knock knock!"

It was at this moment that the door to the room suddenly was knocked upon, bringing Fisher and Emhardt’s scuffle to an abrupt halt.

Raising an eyebrow, Fisher let Emhardt fly up, and simultaneously spoke,

"Come in."

"Fisher..."

The door opened, revealing Mier outside, wearing glasses and cautiously, she observed Fisher, and then spoke to him,

"Miss Ingrid has woken up, but she seems to be very disoriented, as if she’s in a constant nightmare..."

"But she said she wants to see you, claiming that she learned some news in her dream, about someone called...um, Paimon, and wants to tell you."

Fisher opened his mouth but said nothing, while Emhardt immediately jumped up, shouting,

"Holy crap, Paimon!"
