Demi-human Girls Completion Manual-Chapter 888 - 23: Nonexistent

As the words of the "Eyeless Angel" Pandora seated in the center came to an end, the trial against Fisher and his companions also concluded. Except for Gabriel, who remained reclined on his chair, the other Angel Leaders stood up, and the divine light surrounding them grew increasingly radiant, gradually obscuring their complete figures.

Yet, in the final moments, Fisher still saw Emhardt looking pitifully at him, only to be pushed by Michael towards Gabriel’s side...

The next second, the light above dimmed bit by bit, and the figures of the seven angels faded away until they disappeared completely.

Hooked kiss let out a sigh of relief but did not fully relax. He turned his head, looking worriedly at Fisher beside him, but seeing that he was simply staring at the place where Emhardt had disappeared, his expression was not very pleasant.

Helair, standing ahead, remained in place, watching the high platform above and shaking his head slightly with a sigh, saying,

"Do not worry, your friend from the book is temporarily safe with Lord Gabriel. It’s much better than being taken by Lord Michael for research. However, he cannot stay on the Sixth Day indefinitely; whether he remains safe depends on how you perform. You all must be tired after such a long trial. Rest here for a while; I have some matters to attend to. I’ll take you to the Fifth Day once I return."

"Alright, thank you."

Fisher nodded, watching Helair slowly walk in another direction until he completely disappeared, and the venue instantly fell silent, leaving only the three unfortunates.

"Mr. Fisher, you are really... I didn’t expect you to speak up to save me. I truly have no way to repay this kindness. For a moment there, I thought I would be executed by the angels."

Hooked kiss smiled at Fisher, but soon realized Fisher’s expression was not good at all, momentarily stunned. He quickly caught on, incredulously guessing,

"Wait, you... you can’t possibly have no idea how to create such miraculous items, right?"

Just as Tangze Asuka had barely settled down to catch her breath on the ground, hearing Hooked kiss’s words made her heartbeat race again. Her face turned pale as she looked at Fisher beside her.

Right now, she was utterly speechless, as she had likely never encountered a greater setback than not finishing her summer homework and returning to school with an empty backpack.

And just moments ago, this ordinary high school girl, who had never faced life-or-death threats, felt as if she had ridden a roller coaster, teetering on the edge of life and death multiple times. Being unable to speak was entirely normal; not fainting from fear was already beyond what most could endure.

Under Tangze Asuka’s trembling gaze, Fisher glanced around, then nodded slightly and said,

"Emhardt was not created by me; I encountered him during my travels. He claimed to be an item created by the Angel Species, but I didn’t expect that the current angels lack the ability to create him..."

"This is truly..."

Hooked kiss’s smile grew more strained as he sighed,

"I truly admire you, Mr. Fisher. You managed to lie so extravagantly in front of a group of Angel Leaders without changing your expression. If it were me, I would’ve given myself away quickly, yet none of the Angel Leaders noticed a thing... But either way, it’s a matter of life and death. If this gives us more time to live, I’m satisfied. I still have the chance to send a letter to my wife in the sea."

"A letter? To have her avenge you?"

Fisher teasingly quipped, but Hooked kiss shook his head and sighed,

"Let’s skip that. Although my wife has a bad temper and usually likes to pick fights, in terms of levels among humans, she hasn’t reached the mythical stage. Coming here would only add more resentment."

"I see... But at the time, I had no other choice. If we hadn’t done it, we would’ve died immediately, so under no circumstances could we show weakness. Besides, I do have some leads on how Emhardt was made..."

Fisher touched the Demi-human Girls Completion Manual at his chest, recalling that during his time at Sema Snow Mountain, he received an item named the [World Tree Tear] after gathering the Snow Mountain Clan. The item was now tucked inside the Demi-human Girls Completion Manual: a strange, faintly glowing substance. The manual had introduced this item:

"[World Tree Tear: Used as an additive for forging Angel Holy Objects. Legend has it that a master with exceptional forging skills can endow a Holy Object infused with the World Tree Tear with consciousness and thought. This is the pinnacle skill known as the Stealing God’s Method.]"

Clearly, this item is key to forging conscious holy objects.

Holding this unplayed card, how to use it now rests on Fisher’s mind.

Beside him, Tangze Asuka, sitting on the ground, watched Fisher’s profile as he pondered, subconsciously pressing her lips together. It seemed as though, at this moment, the overwhelming fear that seemed poised to crush her dissipated slightly. She struggled to stand up, her face pale, and stood behind Fisher.

Her sudden rise immediately attracted the attention of Fisher and Hooked kiss. Fisher saw she was standing fairly steadily without any intention of falling, nodded, and said,

"Are you feeling better? Earlier, I noticed you looked very pale, and thought you were about to faint..."

Tangze Asuka blushed and lowered her head a bit. For some reason, Fisher always felt that this girl from the Otherworld was quite shy and awkward, always liking to lower her head and avoid the gaze of others. But since there was some cultural difference between the two worlds, he didn’t mind too much at the moment,

"No...no, sorry... Until today, I was just an ordinary high school student watching anime at home, who knew I’d be judged by a character with the same name as in the anime today."

"Anime?"

"It’s... something broadcasted by Tokyo TV Station like ’Neon Genesis Evangelion’. There’s also some Remiel or something, seems like the Fifth Angel Thunder Angel or something, it’s like a big cross... Ah, anime is a kind of moving picture, it should not exist here, but the stories are still very interesting. I used to watch TV when I got home, and I really like this work..."

Speaking of that "anime" Fisher had never heard of, Tangze Asuka’s timid demeanor finally became a bit lively. Her speech became quick and continuous, and although Fisher could completely understand through the rules of the Holy Land, he still felt a bit overwhelmed, as if seeing another side of this transplant-like timid girl for the first time.

Tangze Asuka, while speaking, looked up and saw the two handsome men in front of her, both looking abstractly at her. Her face became even redder, she hastily waved her hand and lowered her head, her voice becoming smaller and smaller,

"Sorry, sorry... I shouldn’t say irrelevant things at this time, sorry."

"No, you just said in your world, there are angels, and the names are very similar?"

"Yeah... Ah, yes, we don’t come from the same world, why are there angels with the same name? Could it be some parallel worlds? Also, thinking carefully, I seem to be familiar with other angels too, I should have heard of them somewhere..."

Fisher quickly realized something was wrong from this transfer girl’s words. He turned his head to look at Hooked kiss and saw him also looking surprised,

"This is strange. Angels are creations of Lord Heavenly Lock, and the names should have been personally given by him. If the names of angels alone have connections with the Otherworld, could it be that the always unseen Lord Heavenly Lock has been to the Otherworld? In that case, Little Tangze Asuka has hope of going home."

"Really?"

Tangze Asuka’s eyes lit up slightly; obviously, the wish to return home was still strong. Her mind had been blank before, but she deeply remembered the name [Heavenly Lock] in her mind, as if it was her hope to return home.

But Fisher was still pondering, unsure if it was only the names of the Holy Land that had connections with the Otherworld. He quickly thought of other mythical species. He doesn’t know much about Elf Species, nor has he seen any documents. Stars should not have invaded reality yet, so, how about demons?

Demon Species are closely related to humans, often appearing in human society as mythical species. There used to be lots of humans who believed in them; then, might there be concepts related to the Otherworld within Demon Species?

"Tangze Asuka, does your world have Demon Species? Can you name a few names, and let me see if they match up with the demon species here?"

"Um, Mr. Fisher, actually, you can just call me Tangze. In our culture, Tangze is my family name, so just call me that... Regarding demons, hmm, let me think, it seems like there are many impressions, but besides Satan, I don’t remember others. It’s strange for demons to have names..."

Fisher listened to Tangze Asuka’s words, showing a bit of disappointment. He had never heard of a demon called by that name, thus unable to determine if demons have a connection with the Otherworld...

If Emhardt were here, it would be fine. He not only had connections with angels but also knew a great deal about demons.

But at this moment, Hooked kiss beside him had a somewhat strange expression and patting Fisher’s shoulder, after pondering for a moment, still spoke to Fisher,

"Mr. Fisher, even though I don’t wish to interrupt you... I’ve traveled all over many places in this world, the sea floor, Snow Realm, Dragon Continent, and Tree Continent, I’ve been to them all. But regarding the demon species you said, I don’t think I’ve ever heard of them..."

Fisher’s pupils constricted slightly, somewhat incredulously turned his head to look at Hooked kiss,

"You said...what?"

"I’m saying, the demon species you’re talking about seems not to exist at all..."

Hooked kiss smiled wryly and chose to clarify his words a bit, saying so.
