Chapter 1376: Chapter 34: Demi-human Girl Control
Renie’s long black hair cascades down beside her slightly tilted face, making her blushing cheeks, which are already covered by her hands, appear more ethereal. Usually fond of teasing, she now seems even more alluring in her bashfulness and timidity.
Perhaps this is a male instinct?
Although he had deeper relationships with many ladies and had seen even more thrilling sights than this, seeing her shyness right now still made his heart race.
"Renie..."
He spoke softly, somewhat awkwardly, and Renie, who was sitting on him with her face covered, looked at him in confusion. But the next moment, she suddenly felt something, causing her pupils to slightly contract.
"!"
She suddenly seemed to be pricked by a needle, drifting up and then hurriedly retreating far away to land on the ground beside him.
She sat on the ground in a fluster, retreating a bit, then instinctively touched her hip, her eyes spinning, and her speech stuttered,
"You... you, don’t be... so... excited... I can’t take it... can’t take it..."
"...Sorry."
Fisher laughed bitterly and helplessly, lying on the ground to apologize.
"You... haven’t you already reached the Mythical Rank... how... how can you still not control it..."
"...I’ve reached the Mythical Rank, not died."
"Pfft, pfft, don’t say things like that..."
Renie covered her face, resting it on her knees, turning away to escape by enjoying the beauty of the place at night.
Fisher also took several deep breaths, looking at his hands, feeling a bit melancholic.
In reality, he might be able to change the form of his body, because he had read the Life Completion Manual just like Erwin, which contained chaotic knowledge that could allow him to transform into a form that adapted to climbing during the climb.
But deep down, he didn’t want to do this, or to put it bluntly, he felt... afraid.
He feared this kind of unnoticeable indulgence, like a frog boiling in water, could turn him into a madman like Erwin or Philone, so he strongly rejected the thought of turning himself into a "non-human".
He didn’t know if this was right or wrong, because there were few references for him on this path.
Um, among them, the few references had died by his hand...
They sat on the beach, on the remnants and tombs of the Tree Continent, enjoying the past sea breeze. Looking at the sea, in the silence produced by not having any conversation for a while, perhaps they were both thinking something, or perhaps thinking about nothing, just gazing at the moonlight and each other.
Using a faint fragrance as a rope, tied upon it were her shyness and the fleeting kiss that never went further, yet seemed more than enough.
"Are you leaving tomorrow morning?"
After hanging in the moonlight for a long while, it was Fisher who spoke first.
Renie looked back at him, hugging her knees, and nodded, saying,
"Um, you know, there are matters to handle in the Spirit Realm."
"...How should I reach the Spirit Realm?"
"Why, do you want to see my true form?"
"Can’t it be seen right here?"
Fisher pointed to the cold moon in the sky, saying this.
But such a manner instead made Renie burst into laughter, she covered her lips and chuckled,
"You won’t really think my true form is such a big lump of moon, right?"
"...I was ignorant."
"This is just the manifestation of my true form in reality, my power projection is too obvious, causing it to overshadow the actual satellite in reality."
"I see. But I still want to meet the real you."
"You’re genuinely bold, huh? You know, my true form is quite different from a Witch or the moon. What if it’s a super huge monster, and I devour you in one bite, chew you up, and you’re gone~"
"What’s there to worry about? I’ve just turned into a ball myself, though I don’t quite want to admit it, my preference is indeed odd..."
"Hahahahaha..."
Renie couldn’t help laughing, wiping the corner of her eye with her hand.
"What’s so funny?"
"Nothing, I’m just happy... you know, older sisters are easily touched by such direct words, even if perhaps these words are just meant to coax me..."
"I didn’t..."
Renie, smiling, interrupted him, suddenly saying,
"But actually, I don’t want you to see my true form, Fisher."
"Why?"
"Because not every existence can face the true form of a True God, even demigods can be affected by a True God’s presence, not to mention those of lower ranks. Those at the Nineteenth Rank would suffer severe curses upon seeing us, and those further down would face instant death.
"In the past, I’ve heard that the Angel Leader holding the Holy Grail was cursed for gazing upon Aoyun, I don’t want you to be cursed, nor do I want you to pursue the climb just to see me."
Renie’s tone seemed somewhat desolate, she smiled, looking at the sky where a lone "moon" hung, then said to Fisher,
"Moreover, I still bear a responsibility akin to shackles. My predecessor committed a grave mistake for unknown reasons, leading to my true form being sealed by the gods, making it impossible for any existence to approach.
"Moreover, I can still walk the world as an Avatar, though unable to alter anything, this is still Ramasitia’s mercy. It’s precisely because of this that I can approach you, because of the Completion Manual you possess, I can use ’monitoring and controlling the Completion Manual’ as an excuse to stay by your side, to interact and connect with you."
