Don't confiscate my identity as a human race

Chapter 695 - 644: Lanci’s New Boss Finisher

The living room was bathed in the soft golden-orange light of the afternoon sun, which added a profound hue to the entire wooden cabin room through the windows.

A gentle breeze slightly moved the curtains, bringing in the fresh air from outside along with the faint scent of summer flowers, constantly flipping the pages of books.

The subtle sound of turning pages had become very clear at this moment.

It was a while before anyone spoke.

"Is that professor of yours telling the truth?"

Talia watched Lanci with an even tone.

She had never heard such a claim back in the Demon World.

Of course, the card making approach of the Demon Race was completely different from that of modern human cardmaking techniques.

"I don’t know either."

Lanci shook his head.

Although Professor Bolao sometimes liked to play pranks, as one of the exceptionally reliable seniors at Ichrite Academy, it was essentially him propping up the school, and he had never played Lanci for a fool before.

Talia seemed to fall into thought at his words, without a reply.

"..."

Both of them seemed to become especially awkward, not knowing what to say.

"You two are going to the Poseen Kingdom, why don’t you make more dates along the way? Consider it an essential part of card making, a training to improve mutual understanding, it’s surely more enjoyable than bickering all day long in the house."

Cat Boss interjected from the side.

This made the room even more silent.

"I have no objection."

Lanci glanced at Talia and murmured to himself.

"Then I also have no objection."

Talia said.

The two of them seemed reluctant.

"Meow sigh."

Cat Boss shook his head and sighed.

Clearly, the two of them must have enjoyed themselves yesterday. But asking who would initiate a suggestion to play together was probably more painful than killing them.

Both of them had particularly strong pride in this respect.

"Let’s rest for today. Also, we need to make a trip to the Magic Engineering College tomorrow. You need to confirm your personal information as an accompanying person, and the Southern Continent Card Maker Association will help us book the itinerary."

Lanci stood up, pushed the chair back under the table, and said to Talia.

Tomorrow would be the new week’s Monday, and the Magic Engineering College would resume work. He and Talia were to set off for the Poseen Kingdom next week, and certain things needed to be reported in advance.

"What time?"

"Around nine. I’ll come to find you at Boss Cat Restaurant."

"Okay."

Talia was actually curious about that old man at the Magic Engineering College who suggested they date—the one whose magical engineering textbooks Lanci would often read when they were in the Nanwantina Border. She was quite impressed with the name, "Bolao."

"Right, didn’t Hyperion give you Epic Earrings?"

Just before leaving, Lanci remembered something and asked, resting his hand on the back of the chair.

"Yes, I’ll be making her an Epic Card later."

Talia rarely looked as if she remembered something that pleased her, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly as she chatted with Lanci.

Lanci watched Talia, whose aura seemed to soften, and he wasn’t sure what to say.

She treated Hyperion so differently from how she treated him.

But the thought of Talia treating him in the same way made him shudder.

"In most cases, this magic card that costs you six card slots is basically of no use, although fusing with Antanas or Sinola will make you stronger, but you would still lose a member of the Great Demon Clan."

Lanci said.

"..."

Talia looked at him.

She knew this Epic was a bit useless in the present day.

Talia looked down at her hands in confusion; it seemed there was no change to her physical appearance following the merger.

Their appearances had already been identical.

Only her eyes had one gold and one blue heterogeneous pupil.

"Meow meow!"

The Cat Boss was shocked to see Tata.

For some reason, it felt a kind of indescribable Demon Race majesty in front of Tata, causing all of its fur to stand on end.

Talia remained silent for a moment, then went to the wall, took out paper and pen from a cabinet, wrote something down, and showed it to Lanci—

"I feel like I’ve learned the Demon Sound of the Great Love Poet."

That’s why she didn’t dare speak.

It seemed that due to the 100% fusion rate, Talia’s attribute, together with the Great Love Poet’s minor attribute, multiplied by one hundred percent, was still almost her own original attribute.

"Try this ring, it will allow you to speak through your thoughts, helping you to talk without using the Demon Sound."

Lanci observed Talia and took out a metallic ring from his pocket, handing it to her and instructing her on how to use the intention vocalization ring developed by Professor Bolao.

As one taught and the other listened and slightly understood, she nodded.

"I feel really strange right now, as if I’ve contracted a Destined Familiar, and..."

Talia finally spoke confidently, murmuring.

Suddenly, as if realizing something, she grabbed Lanci, dragged him into her bedroom, tossed him in, and locked the door behind her.

"I... I’ve become your Destined Summon?"

Talia leaned against the door and asked with a trembling voice.

This odd feeling was like being able to communicate with him through heart voices without speaking.

"...Yes."

Lanci closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, feeling the same.

He could now clearly sense that his soul was connected with Talia’s.

Under this state, Talia had replaced the Great Love Poet and became his new Life Card.

[Mad Love Demon King - Talia]

[Category: Summon Card]

[Grade: Orange Epic]

[Order: 8]

[Effect: Influence all beings with the demonic rhythm, causing emotions to erupt by an unknown multiple, and possessing all the original abilities of Demon Princess "Talia."]

[Note: A new miracle demon born from the merger of the Poem of Pity and Demon Fusion.]

"So, undo it quickly, our heart thoughts are connected now, and it feels really weird."

Lanci, feeling his mana draining rapidly, promptly suggested.

Maintaining the Eighth-order [Mad Love Demon King] summoning state, the mana consumption was far greater than that of the First-order [Great Love Poet].

If she were to enter a combat state, he couldn’t even imagine the rate at which mana would be consumed.

But the problem wasn’t just the power drain.

Talia could now hear his heart voice without needing any mind-reading magic.

He could normally communicate with the Great Love Poet through thoughts, as true childhood sweethearts, so there were no inhibitions.

But Talia was different; being in mental communication with her, he might die!

Thinking about her over a hundred times a day, even if she was in Boss Cat Restaurant, she’d come to Ichrite Academy to kill him!

"I can’t undo it..."

Talia said, standing there in a daze.

This equipment had a separation cooldown after each use, and the higher the fusion rate, the harder it was to separate.

Her fusion with the Great Love Poet had reached an improbable level of perfection, and now she could hardly feel how to separate from the Great Love Poet.

"What?"

Lanci became petrified, cracking apart.
