Chapter 63 - 54

Soul Completion Manual 63: 54.

Soul Completion Manual After the steamy cleaning session had ended, Fisher took the opportunity to return to his own room to study the somewhat strange Soul Completion Manual.

Shutting the door, he first took out the Demi-human Girls Completion Manual and placed it on the desk, flipping to the classification of the Dragon-man Species.

Gold magic-like handwriting instantly became alive on the page, frenetically leaping about, recording a lot of what Fisher had learned about the Dragon-man Species recently.

Without the need for him to write, it seemed that merely by conceptualizing in his mind, the manual would automatically record the information.

[Dragon-man Species Re

Having hesitated for a long while, Fisher seemed to think of something and first placed the scroll on the desk.

Having collected the reward, Fisher temporarily put aside the Demi-human Girls Completion Manual and opened the Soul Completion Manual given to him by Philone.

The manual’s surface was vastly different from his own, not only was the color dark and simple, but it also lacked any decoration, with only the name printed on the cover indicating that they were of the same kind of item.

Upon opening the title page, there was no Doomsday Prophecy engraved like in the Demi-human Girls Completion Manual.

The moment Fisher opened it, the phantom text instantly changed into Nali’s language, reading,

And then, beneath that introductory text, on the bottom right of the title page, there was a line of particularly small text, which was extraordinarily special, being the only handwritten text.

Even though Fisher did not recognize those strange characters, he could understand their meaning.

Fisher furrowed his brows, as the meaning of that text endlessly flashed through his mind.

Firstly, the manual’s author referred to themselves as a traveler who could not leave this world, which also indicated that the author of the manual was not from this world, but an outsider who was unable to leave for some reason.

By extension, could it be that all Completion Manuals were left by individuals not from this world?

This might also explain why they were all so mystical?

With such a question in mind, Fisher continued to flip through the manual.

Unlike his own blank Demi-human Girls Completion Manual, this book was densely filled by the author, resembling more the scholarly books that Fisher frequently read rather than a magical artifact.

The first chapter was: What is the nature of the soul?

The author seemed to be encountering the concept of the soul for the first time, and expressed their records of researching the world’s souls in a semi-biographical and semi-research record manner.

But among the content, there were bits that intrigued Fisher.

For instance, the author was quite unfamiliar with demi-humans and magic, even feeling fear upon their first encounter with a demi-human.

Could this mean that such entities, including souls, did not exist in the author’s original world?

He said it was the first time he witnessed prosperity in another world, the immense Dragon Court in the south rising like the Sun, using its vast wings to shield the safety of the entire continent.

Many strangely looking demi-humans were filled with wisdom and exchanged much knowledge about souls with him.

Ultimately, he concluded: The soul is a material entity that influences and accomplishments the body mutually; it is the source of magic, the source of spirit, drawn by some kind of rule independent of the world.

The souls of the deceased will be “reset” until newly born life quietly receives them by some majestic power and fuses with a new body.

Caleb emphasized multiple times that the soul and body were always unified, and that any views studying them separately were foolish, including the Ancient Dragon Court scholars’ debates on whether the body or soul came first.

Fisher, thirsty for knowledge, soon became immersed in Caleb’s records and quickly noticed some issues.

Firstly, the time Caleb was active in this world was very ancient compared to the current day.

Secondly, the Ancient Dragon Court spoken of in Dragon-man legends did exist; he had close exchanges with the Ancient Dragon People within the Dragon Court.

According to Caleb’s description, the Dragon Court was a very friendly and open realm where numerous demi-humans lived under their jurisdiction, worshipping a dragon-shaped God named Fermat Baha.

However, Caleb’s analysis suggested that this was just a belief existing since their ancient primitive times.

Upon confirming the unification of soul and body, Caleb began to discuss independently the properties of the soul, but Fisher soon realized that many of his discussions were based on the soul being verifiably tangible.

Yet, Caleb did not mention by what means this was achieved.

Did the ancient demi-people have a method to touch the soul so in that era, Caleb assumed that the readers knew of this method?

But for some reason, the method had become lost?

Fisher’s fingers tapped on the desk, then suddenly he thought of something.

The realm where Caleb lived was the Dragon Court!

The realm of the Dragon-man species!

Dragon horns were the outward traits formed by the Magic Circuit, which, in some sense, meant protruding souls!

He did not need to extract souls; he just needed to study the traits of Dragon-man horns to infer the properties of souls!

So all experiments needed only to be conducted on the horns of adult Dragon-man Species, touching them would thus be very simple; a Dragon-man’s horn could touch another horn, and other magic-covered objects could also make contact, just like when Fisher had earlier touched her dragon horn with his Handcane.

Did that mean last time he had accidentally poked at Mier’s soul with his Handcane?

No wonder her reaction was so severe…

The content of Chapter One was quickly read through, briefly introducing the author’s background and basic views on the soul—more of an introduction.

When he wanted to read more, he found that the text ahead was all blurry, only slowly becoming legible for reading as his eyes focused on it.

But then he discovered his entire Magic Circuit light up, reading the text was consuming his magic power, and the amount was substantially large!

In the first line of Chapter Two, the author named Caleb wrote,

“The first property of the soul is .

It would be such a pity if you could only obtain a little information about my research from this Completion Manual, so I encrypted the text which requires the use of soul power to unlock.

This process will bring pain, which is proof your soul power is being drained by this Completion Manual.”

“It will cause a massive burden on your soul, and you may need a long time to let the soul repair itself.

But once it’s repaired, your soul will become stronger.

This is the principle behind Mages continually engraving magic to increase their magic strength, and it is also the proof of the first property of the soul: .”

Having just read two lines, Fisher felt as if he had suddenly inscribed a Six-Ring Magic spell, his vision becoming somewhat blurry, so he had to close his eyes and digest the information from Chapter One.

It seemed he would have to study this book slowly.

Fisher looked down at his body’s Magic Circuit, seeing those lit up branches slowly reigniting; this was far faster than the speed of his initial magic engraving recovery, which corresponded perfectly with Caleb’s theory.

However, the intensity of Caleb’s Soul Completion Manual’s training was beyond Fisher’s imagination: inscribing a Six-Ring Magic spell would take a long time, but this manual could achieve the same training effect instantly—its miraculous nature was evident.

It was a wonder how it was done.

Fisher massaged his temples.

Although he felt somewhat unsatisfied, he had no choice but to stop for now, planning to continue reading after a full recovery.

Plus, being on the dangerous South Continent, it was very risky to deplete the Magic Circuit casually.

He also needed to inscribe other spells to deal with danger, so he would probably wait until secure circumstances, like returning to Nali, before resuming his reading.

But at this moment, Fisher suddenly thought of something—if Caleb left his own mark on the Completion Manual, then what about his own “Demi-human Girls Completion Manual”?

Did it also have a mark from the author or its previous owner?

He picked up the nearby Demi-human Girls Completion Manual, flipped to the title page, but saw no author’s record beneath the Doomsday Prophecy…

Not there?

Or was every Completion Manual different.

Fisher subconsciously stroked the same spot and felt like he touched a mechanism in the moment of contact; that spot burst out with a bit of active golden glow.

Then, a line of text appeared before his eyes in a font Fisher didn’t recognize, but seemingly hand-written.

The ethereal text floated up, and at the bottom of that page, the golden text was shaped like blocks, different from Caleb’s own handwriting, but all Completion Manuals shared a nature that allowed Fisher to understand it.

It read,
