Don't confiscate my identity as a human race

Since the Great Love Poet was absorbed by Tata, Lanci never had to worry about the Great Love Poet causing trouble again, because if the Great Love Poet accidentally damaged any priceless musical instrument, any damage caused by the summon was the sole responsibility of the summoner, and Lanci would be fully accountable.

It was still fresh in Cat Boss's memory, undoubtedly the most fatal was the piano in the Duke's House, known as a priceless treasure. Previously a foreign tycoon offered 180,000 pounds, but Duke Migaya did not sell it.

After the Duke disappeared, if not for the piano being too heavy, plus the multiple barriers of the Duke's Mansion, it might have been stolen long ago.

That piano was also the most likely target for Lan Fu to set her sights on.

However, now that Lanci has been with Talia for a while, he probably doesn't hope for Lan Fu to come back.

While they were frolicking, the evaluations from the Shadow World continued to refresh.

[First Attempt at Blood Moon City Siege S——In the company of a strong member of the Great Demon Clan, you passed the defense of the underpowered Blood Moon End of the World Blood Moon City.]

[Recognition by the Great Demon Clan A——You have gained the recognition of the Blasphemy Lord, Lord Skeleton, Mercury Lord, and Mighty Lord, four ancient members of the Great Demon Clan.]

[Return to Purgatory City C——You've returned to the place where you control lightning.]

[Fusion Master E——You still don't know the full extent of what you've played with.]

[Mirror of Tiberius S——You attempted three times the dangerous Magic Device left by the ancient Great Demon Clan's Inverted Lord.]

[Endless Space-Time E——You have experienced a punishment that was too long.]

[Small Spark C——You have protected the Small Spark left by Calila, which will continue a new story and hope.]

[...]

[Riding the Wind Home E——Go home with the fluttering wind, with the drizzling rain, forget everything entirely, let go of all old dreams, until your heart gradually fills.]

"..."

Talia slowly released Lanci, looking at the evaluation content that gradually came to a stop.

"Some of the achievements seem to be from Hyperion and their side, the shared achievements can be seen on our side too," Talia said.

Lanci also looked at the text they could understand and chatted with Talia.

[Achievement combing complete, evaluation generation finished.]

[You have traversed a long and arduous road, shrouded in darkness, seemingly unreachable. You've heard their voices, weighing every choice you've made, sinking deeper into the tranquil embrace, as love rushes in like a tide to knock you down, encountering souls that emerge from beneath the surface and soar upwards, even with a still heart, you sincerely cannot find peace.]

[A life, a road, burdens heavy beyond measure, forgotten by all, souls in pain always yearning for Heaven.]

[The life-binding song played then was a new starting point for the old destiny to unfold.]

[As the waning moon turns full again, enacting the cycles of reunion and farewell.]

[Comprehensive Evaluation: SSS]

[Rank Amplification: Lanci Sixth-order→Sixth-order (Limit), Talia Eighth-order→Eighth-order, Yami Eighth-order→Ninth-order.]

At the moment when the rewards were settled, Cat Boss achieved a rank breakthrough.

Already being at Sixth-order, Lanci reached the limit of the Sixth-order and was temporarily blocked from advancing to Seventh-order due to the promotion conditions.

Talia, looking somewhat surprised, clenched and unclenched her fists, feeling her strength and Magic Power growing.

"Master, how is it?"

Lanci asked Talia.

"By your level measurements, I'm probably around 83 or 84 now?"

Talia guessed uncertainly.

Now, even without Lanci's mark, she believed she could contend with Perlman, the formidable opponent she faced at the end in Huadu.

If she also added the boost Lanci gave her, she might fearlessly take on the last-ranked War God in battle!

Having confirmed her own power, Talia couldn't help but get excited; she was finally not the bottom-ranked member of the Great Demon Clan.

"You really are the Master's good disciple!"

Talia hugged Lanci tightly and then let him go, praising him while grabbing his shoulders.

After wandering for a hundred years, it turned out to be better following Lanci into the Shadow World.

If she had met him earlier, she might have been able to restore the kingdom.

"..."

Lanci looked bewildered.

He never thought Talia would hug him.

"Celebrate, just celebrating, don't get the wrong idea, it means nothing else."

Seeing the expression on Lanci's face, Talia also realized she was too excited, she quickly pulled back her hands and stammeringly said to him.

Meanwhile, Cat Boss, still entranced by the rank breakthrough, was stuck in a crash state.

"Cat Boss, how do you feel?"

Lanci asked the motionless Little Black Cat.

It seemed caught in a thought-typhoon.

Although Cat Boss was a tardigrade and lacked the combat prowess of normal creatures, as a miraculous Ninth-order, it was probably the first ever Ninth-order mascot.

First, it had to survive long enough to reach a high rank before entering the high-tier Shadow World; then, not only did it need to be dragged through the high-tier Shadow World, but it also required the collection of Power of Faith, something it could never gather on its own. By common sense, this species would not be able to reach the Ninth-order.

"...Lanci, I'm really Ninth-order now, meow, look, look!"

Cat Boss felt its life was complete, floated around Lanci for a while, and exclaimed excitedly.

Its Psychic Power caused Lanci and Tata to float as well, like they were in the starry cosmos in a weightless Fringe Space, drifting freely.

If there was a desire to inscribe again, one would temporarily reach a limit state; if there were no thoughts of inscribing, then one would directly break through.

Cat Boss probably thought it was difficult to find links to spatial attributes or mechanical materials, and with its own strength, there was a high chance of failing the inscription and losing a significant portion of its power, missing the chance to advance to the Ninth-order.
