“Fisher!”

At this moment, the ancient book Philone handed to Fisher began to emit a faint warmth, just like the Demi-human Girls Completion Manual in his arms, suggesting that they were essentially the same kind of object.

Therefore, the Soul Completion Manual should also be invisible to others.

From a distance, Rafael hurried over.

Fisher held the Soul Completion Manual in his hand, yet she seemed unable to see it, her gaze only on the charred remains of Philone on the ground, and Fisher, covered in wounds.

Rafael ran over worriedly, wanting to extend a claw to embrace and soothe Fisher, but fearing to touch his injuries, she hesitated before him, her tail shifting uneasily behind her.

Fisher silently placed the Soul Completion Manual into his chest, alongside the previous Demi-human Girls Completion Manual.

The Inner City had been nearly destroyed by the battle between Fisher and Philone, and the outside was becoming increasingly unsettled; it was likely that the soldiers outside had heard the commotion in the Inner City and were on their way here.

They had to leave quickly.

Fisher tried to move, his body aching fiercely.

He closed his eyes and took a breath, and Rafael, seeing this, supported him.

“…thank you.”

Rafael’s azure eyes met his, but when he lowered his head to look at her, she diverted her gaze, her voice somewhat unclear,

“Thanks for what…

you really are…”

“Where are Lar and the others?”

“They’re up there, nothing’s wrong.”

Rafael might be recalling the events in the cave with Nana, including when she killed so many demi-humans.

Even though those were just soulless shells, Rafael could still feel the passing of life.

Seeing so many demi-humans slaughtered by humans, and now, killed cruelly by one of their own, a fellow demi-human…

Rafael’s thoughts grew heavy, as she was beginning to notice the issues among the demi-humans.

It was true the humans invading their homeland were the main culprits, but did the demi-humans themselves bear no issues?

Banding together independently, indifferent to each other, dispersed until the humans picked them off one by one.

“That’s good.”

Fisher leaned against Rafael and looked towards the City Lord Mansion, only to see a disheveled, blond, bull-man girl with a vacant stare walking down from above – if not Nana, then who?

The golden adornment on her head was gone, and who knows what will sustained her escape from that cave.

“Phi…

Philone…

my lord…”

Her legs seemed too weak even to walk down the slope of the City Lord Mansion, and after a few steps, she tumbled down, her body covered in cuts.

She lay dazed on the ground for a moment before lifting her head to see Philone, lifeless.

“No…

no…

don’t…

Lord Philone…”

Nana’s once gentle face was now completely void, as if all of her had been cruelly stripped from within. freeweɓnøvel.com

Her low murmurs slowly turned to disbelief until the reality of Philone’s death was fully engraved in her mind, and she realized what had happened.

“Lord Philone!

Please, no!

My…

my…

my Lord Philone!”

Unable to shed tears, she covered her face with her hands, her fingers digging into her skin, blood seeping from beneath her nails.

Her eyes were wide and staring blankly, as if wishing to cry, but blood was all that streamed beside her eyeballs.

Rafael watched her somewhat pitifully, yet feeling no sympathy.

But at her side, Fisher’s expression suddenly changed.

In that second, all the hairs on his body stood on end as if some great terror had descended upon them.

He stared in horror at the distant Nana, only to see her bleeding slowly tainted by a blue hue, her soul torn away in an instant, not just hers, but also at her lower abdomen, there was a tiny speck of light.

This was the onset of Soul Loss.

Losing her horns, losing Philone, for Nana, it was the greatest blow.

The intense despair had shaken her soul, which was then taken away.

Taken…

Fisher’s eyes lifted, only to see in the night sky behind him, something vast and phantom-like had appeared behind Nana.

It was an eye, like that of a human, a demi-human, and also like the pupil of an animal.

In that pitch-black pupil, it seemed as though the entire galaxy overflowed, as if millions of souls were flickering.

But most astonishing was that the upper and lower eyelids of that eyeball were not like a normal eye’s, but resembled the upper and lower lips of a mouth, making the whole structure seem part eyeball, part mouth.

Nana and her child’s souls were swiftly engulfed in that thing’s eyeball, crossing through a door and quickly submerging into the galaxy within.

Little by little, blue light also rose from Philone’s body lying behind her and entered into the body of that thing, resembling an eye.

Fisher’s body suddenly stiffened as, after consuming their souls, that enormous eye didn’t depart but hovered mid-air, facing Fisher on the ground.

The eye seemed to curl up in mirth or mockery; though curved as if smiling, the shape of the mouth turned down in a sobbing expression.

The upper and lower lips parted and came together, slowly emitting sounds that seemed like murmurs, yet also like the tolling of a bell,

“Fisher…”

“Well…

done…”

“Owed…

one…

time…”

“Hee…

hee…”

In the next second, that massive entity merged with the bright moonlight like a black hole, becoming darkness and vanishing into the sky, leaving Fisher soaked in cold sweat and rooted to the spot.

“Fisher!

Fisher!”

“…It’s all right.”

Amid Rafael’s repeated calls, he snapped out of his dazed state and turned to look at her.

She looked at him with concern, seemingly oblivious to the massive presence that had just been before them.

She…

couldn’t see it.

“Heh…”

Nana, in the distance, became like those other soulless demi-humans, a kind of living corpse.

She struggled to stand, only to collapse weakly.

But right beside her was the underground plaza where Fisher and Philone had fought, now ablaze with flames.

She blankly fell into that flame-engulfed underground structure, vanishing entirely from sight.

Fisher took a deep breath, pressing the vision he had seen to the back of his mind.

This was not the time for distraction; soldiers were approaching, and they needed to leave the city at once, or else they would be in trouble.

“Rafael, get Lar and the others.

We’re leaving now, right away from here.”
