Chapter 829 - The Logic of Death
Chapter 829 of "Demi-human Girls Completion Manual" introduces the scene: "Everyone I knew from my hometown was blown to pieces by soldiers from those small... Keep going!
"Everyone I knew from my hometown was blown to pieces by soldiers from those small countries. The girl I liked was beaten to death by her husband after getting married. I cried as I stabbed him with a knife, then got caught and beaten to death by his family. Then I came back to life and fought with his family again, only to die once more, and then revive again, getting up to fight the familyâs servants! Over and over! I lost count of how many times I fought, but eventually I killed them all, and yet I still couldnât die..."The Death Lord exhaled the smoke from his cigarette, stomping it beneath his foot while furiously scratching at his head as if trying to tear his scalp off,
"At first, I was quite happy to realize I couldnât die; I wanted to do everything, I had so many desires... But later, I found it was truly exhausting, never being able to die. I started becoming more like those members of the Death Cult, wishing for an early release to the afterlife. So, I joined this damn society and got this damn manual, learning a lot of things from the Cardinal of Destiny, hoping to escape the mortal worldâs sea of suffering sooner. Thatâs why I know so muchâshe told me it all..."
The Death Lord laughed mockingly and kicked the to the ground. As the book flipped open to the first few pages, Fisher saw no words on it because he was not the manualâs owner,
"After anticipating for so long, the first page of this cursed manual says, âThis manual will teach you the secrets to escape deathâ... Ha, itâs rendered me speechless. Fraud! This is downright fraud! Iâm like a monkey toyed with by that dead woman, the Cardinal of Destiny! This time, she said there might be a Death Rune in your possession, an item that can absolutely bring death. Even after itâs used, youâre likely to receive clues related to death, which is why Iâm here."
In other words, the Death Lord himself didnât know how he was exempt from death, but it was likely due to a mistake by He Ya, as He Ya is a unique deity without self-awareness and therefore should not pay special attention to any life, leaving the only plausible explanation of someone else intervening.een Ranks, could they accomplish such a feat?
The topic returned to the Demon Species that terrified Emhardt, and Fisher suddenly remembered the matters in the Northern Realm, pondering whether the calculation against the Phoenix Species formed the base or not.
Yet Fisher vaguely felt something was amiss, like why did Paimon gift that painting to the Moon Princess? Was it truly just to appease her? What deeper logic and purpose were behind Paimonâs removal of the base? Having hidden within the Turand Family for so many years, surely they didnât do nothing, so where did Valentinaâs mother get the strange Dream Magic they created?
In those brief considerations, he first began to truly comprehend the terrifying nature of Demon God Paimon that caused Emhardt such dread; he arrived at no answers without any substantial clues as support, failing to grasp any lead, forcing him to temporarily bring his focus back to the present predicament,
"Ahem... So, the death affecting me now is for humans, and if I find a Twentieth Rank existence, I can rid myself of it, right?"
The Death Lord lifted his head, voice hoarse,
"Yes, but it must be an existence skilled in this path, as emphasized repeatedly by the Cardinal of Destiny and myself. She seemed to know we would have this conversation long ago... Anyway, if you encounter such an existence, could you ask them if they can send me away too? Or, if you find the one who made the Death Rune, could you ask them if they can make another to send me off?"
Fisher rubbed his brow, speechless, unsure if it was an illusion, as if this guy, after so much drinking, seemed to be getting drunk now. It appeared that aside from being exempt from death, the Death Lordâs other functions remained unaffected; he was just like any other human.
At this moment, he recalled Erwinâs words before dying, warning him to be cautious of the Creation Societyâs words. After pausing for a moment, he asked,
"By the way, can you tell me everything you know about the Creation Society? Shouldnât the Cardinal of Destiny allow that?"
