Demi-human Girls Completion Manual

Chapter 1464 - 58: People of the Gate (Part 3)

"Let’s go."Moli covered her neck, following quietly behind Fisher. As Fisher glanced at the birds, he asked the Death Lord while heading into the cave,

"How far have you read in your manual?"

"Only the beginning. If I could, I’d love to share it with you, but the Cardinal of Destiny advised me not to."

"Because it would lead to opposition and rejection between us?"

"Very clever... Before my manual becomes yours, the manuals instinctively reject their owners from leaking or sharing knowledge, which is also why such knowledge can’t be recorded by ordinary means. And trust me, even if you found the correct method, you wouldn’t be able to record it; the moment you try, the Completion Manual you once owned would turn into a pile of blank paper."

With the Death Lord’s explanation, Moli and Fisher quickly stepped into the deep darkness.

Emhardt in his arms shrank its head back fearfully, dreading that something terrifying might leap out from the surroundings.

Fisher rubbed the walls with his hand, the Magic Circuits on his body instantly lit up, bursting into dazzling light in the dimness.

But in an instant, the light was swallowed by the surrounding darkness, and the Magic Circuit was uncontrollably shut off. When Fisher tried again, he couldn’t summon the Magic Circuit no matter what.

This darkness here really swallows light...

But fortunately, their formation was reasonable, and with the Death Lord’s supposedly noisy yet effectively reporting group of phoenixes existing, they walked for a long time without any incidents.

Nobody knew how deep this cave went; Fisher felt they had been walking for at least an hour or maybe longer, continuously advancing into the earth’s depths, yet it seemed like they were treading in place.

"Thud!"

The entrance behind them was completely out of sight, even to Fisher’s Mythical Rank sight. All that remained was darkness, but suddenly, ahead of him, the sound of a bird colliding with something echoed in Fisher’s ear, followed by echoes bouncing around the cave as if tearing through the darkness.

He quickly turned to look, only to find that the cave ahead had expanded more than double, transforming into a vast space reminiscent of an underground plaza.

And from the darkness ahead slowly came the Death Lord’s voice,

"Ahead, it seems there’s a door."

"...It’s not just seems; there really is a door."

Fisher and Moli, whose vision in the darkness far exceeded that of the Death Lord, looked ahead, easily spotting the door in the darkness emitting faint phosphorescence.

It was a massive door about thirty meters tall, entirely silver, and extremely smooth on the surface. Fisher couldn’t tell if it was the material itself or a layer of frost due to the cold, but given the temperature, the former seemed more likely.

The Death Lord let the phoenix group around him settle quietly back on the ground, and the three of them gradually approached the enormous "Frost Gate". In the eerie darkness, the phosphorescence it emitted became the only light source, helping them discern the structure on it.

Above the door, its name was inscribed in ancient human and demon’s chaotic scripts.

"Competitive Gate... We’ve arrived."

"...But the problem is, how do we get in?"

The Death Lord examined the Competitive Gate, which was so immense and tightly shut, and wondered aloud.

Fisher was silent for a moment, then reached out to place his hand on the slightly chilly door. In the darkness, his body gradually transformed into a more powerful shape, then he began to exert all his strength trying to push the door open, but to no avail.

"No, brute force can’t open it,..."

He muttered, slowly reverting his body back to human form, conveying the conclusion to the two beside him.

The toughness of this Competitive Gate exceeded his expectations, certainly not something a regular Mythical Rank could open by brute force. He even suspected that Moli’s mother, Xuan Can, might have to come herself to open it.

And the rocks beside the door? If the door couldn’t be opened, perhaps smashing some stones would bypass the gate, which should be easy for Fisher now...

But just as he thought this and prepared to act, he suddenly realized that neither the Death Lord nor Moli responded to his words, and even the phoenix group quietly resting on the ground suddenly vanished, as if into thin air...

"Moli?"

"They... seem to be gone!"

Emhardt in his arms evidently noticed the bizarre scene as well, tremblingly burrowing deeper into Fisher’s embrace, and said.

Fisher furrowed his brow, turning to look into the boundless darkness around him, finding not a shadow in sight.

"Buzz..."

They didn’t know where they’d gone, but in the next moment, the surface of the enormous door before Fisher, like frosted glass, began to ripple slightly, gradually dispelling the invisible ’frost’ layer on its surface, making it become as transparent as a mirror or glass...
