"Besides the one used against Erwin, had she made another Death Rune before?"
"Yeah, but I don’t know what she did with it. It should have been used to kill some entity..."
In other words, whether it’s Holan or that Solomon, the reason for their deaths being lost is because Agares turned their deaths into Death Runes.
This makes sense. Pursuing Erwin shouldn’t have been too long ago, at most ten years, just coinciding with Holan’s affair.
But at the same time, Fisher had a doubt; he couldn’t help but ask Elliog,
"If that’s the case, isn’t this kind of ’Undying’ like a blessing for others? The attribute of being unable to die no matter what is quite powerful, and it can even form weapons. Why doesn’t Agares apply this method to himself, or is there some special requirement in this process?"
"Ah, you’re right. The choice of the subject for this magic technique has special requirements. It has to be an existence that resonates with the Death Authority and is weak enough. The mechanism of Death’s pursuit will elevate the Power of Death against humans to the Twentieth Rank, and the Twentieth Rank’s Death Power is already extremely difficult to control. Anything above surpassing the power of a True God is beyond Agares’ control, with significant risks... After all, the Death Authority is not quiet. Once out of control, it would be a disaster for us and the entire world."
Elliog nodded and then glanced at Moli, who was sleeping soundly beside Fisher. For some reason, a wicked thought arose in her mind, causing her to turn her head and suddenly kiss Fisher, then shrink back a bit amidst his puzzled look.
Fisher touched the kissed lips and couldn’t help but ask,
"What... what are you doing?"
"Nothing, ah, continue."
Elliog smiled, the tail behind her swayed once in a "cat-like mischief" manner, rendering Fisher speechless, who had to continue asking,
"Then how can you make someone from whom death has been stolen die again?"
"...Isn’t he your comrade? Why do you want him to die so much?"
"He’s the one who wants to die, and besides, I indeed need him to die to obtain the Completion Manual on him."
"You already have more than one Completion Manual, don’t you? You should know not to read more than one, or the rejection and chaos within will turn you into a monster. You wouldn’t want..."
"I’ve already read two."
Elliog’s words paused slightly, staring blankly at Fisher in front of her. After confirming he was still the same as before and not some lunatic, she began to answer Fisher’s question,
"There’s no other way unless you let him directly face the Death Authority, otherwise, he won’t be able to die. But that’s impossible."
"Impossible?"
"Yeah, how did you come in here? The portal?"
"I entered from the Competitive Gate..."
"Ah, that makes it convenient then."
Elliog crossed her arms, nodded, and added,
"You don’t understand the Demon Dynasty. In essence, the existence of the Demon Dynasty is merely to suppress the Death Authority hidden beneath it. And those ten gates are actually not channels for our ingress and egress. In reality, even for us, it’s extremely cumbersome to pass through them. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have built so many external portals to use... Those ten gates are actually the Sealing of the Death Runes, formed from the substance of the Sea of Chaos before we were born, the power of the chaotic source."
Fisher was mildly stunned, recalling the black ocean he had once leapt into to save Helair. The extremely dense Power of Chaos within that ocean had all transformed into those ten gates, meaning that what he previously saw as some Yin Yang Sea was actually a part of the chaos itself?
"With those ten gates, the Death Authority cannot manifest. Even someone skilled in this field like Agares can only perform magic through the connections between the Death Authority and the outside world. However, once the gates are fully opened and the Death Authority manifests, it will trigger disaster. At that time, it would be more terrifying and serious than you directly facing the two Demon Gods..."
What to do then? You brought the Death Lord all the way here from Kado, and now you finally enter but have to tell him it’s really impossible to let him die?
Forget that, but the key issue is, now you can’t finish reading the Life Completion Manual. Without the Death Completion Manual, he’d at most reach the Sixteenth Rank. Even with Elliog’s help, it would be difficult to confront the two Demon Gods.
Or could he find the base that Helair placed before the two Demon Gods?
Fisher rubbed his temples with some headache, and in the corner of his eye, he looked at Elliog. He certainly hadn’t forgotten the purpose of his visit here.
Besides inherently being very fond of this demon, he had come to seek her help. It’s just that the sudden events made it difficult for him to open his mouth.
But the situation was urgent, and he had no choice but to muster up the courage to say,
"...Elliog, I don’t understand anything about this place, and I need your help."
"Hmm, it’s not impossible to help you, ah. After all, I’ve always been very fond of you, and this issue is essentially because of that guy Paimon. But..."
Elliog turned her head to look at Fisher, her smile lazy and wicked, like a true demon, causing an inexplicable ominous premonition to rise within Fisher,
"But?"
"There is a condition. Agree to it, and I’ll help you, and unconditionally... You know, ah, I’m the most tolerant and fond of you."
"...So, what’s the condition?"
The ominous premonition within Fisher deepened, and Elliog’s smile grew more profound as she glanced at the Seal on Fisher’s chest before saying,
"Hehe, I want you to say now: I’m Elliog’s person, not Paimon’s... Oh, no, I should say it in more intimate terms of yours."
"Say: ’I belong to Elliog, not Helair.’"
The surrounding darkness suddenly grew deeper, as if some invisible presence were waiting alongside the smiling Elliog in front of Fisher, awaiting Fisher’s answer.
