Chapter 486: Revival Process
-----
"Alright guys, infuse life mana into the corpse." I said.
"Wouldn"t that purify it though?"
"Yeah, it will be even more damaged!"
"How can this even work?"
Some of the arrogant mages from the Jade Snake Sect began to refute my orders.
"I had conjured a Spell on it named Undead Healing and then Death Refreshment, the flesh had suddenly lost the "death" within itself, and now can be infused with life once more. Just trust me. It is like making something fresh once more. I remember regenerating entire skeletons into having flesh this way." I said.
The nine-year-old Samantha, one of the kids I had rescued back then and a reliable older sister figure to the other kids nodded to my words, she was an excellent life mage at Rank 3 already.
"Indeed! Drake had already practiced this with us before, he had brought back to life other smaller creatures and even monsters. So experiments had been made already." Said Samantha.
"O-Oh…"
"I see…"
"Well…
"Just get to it." I said.
"Y-Yes!"
…
After some time, the corpse, instead of burning or something, was filled with even more freshness. After half a day, it felt as if it was just recently killed. It took some effort from everyone, but they really did a good job.
"Nice, now go rest for the moment, you all earned yourselves your rest." I said.
"Thank you, Drake."
"We are on our way."
"Phew…"
"Zephyr-sama looks like he"s alive…"
"We really did that?"
In these twelve or so hours, I had already healed most of Zephyr"s mind, so he was ready to get in there. Maybe I could take a few more days, but he can recover the rest by sleeping a lot.
I grabbed his soul, which looked like a jewel and inserted it inside of his chest.
FLASH!
A bright white light came from his corpse, the soul quickly expanded across the body as if it were flowing everywhere. I then called Rose and she used Blood Magic to make his blood flow begin, alongside his heart to begin to beat.
Blood Magic was very useful in these things, so having this Vampire Ghost was useful, and Rose had been grown fond of me now and even without the charm working on her anymore, she"s loyal.
"I-It is working, my lord?" she asked.
"Yes, keep the blood flow going, now move it to the brain… I will insert oxygen into his lungs through my wind magic, and this oxygen will then spread across his blood. Reaching the brain." I said.
"Understood…" said Rose.
After thirty minutes, the boy began to breath, and he slowly began to move his fingers.
Clarity reached his brain once more, as his consciousness finally transferred into his head.
"Huh?"
Zephyr slowly opened his bright purple eyes, looking at me us with a tired expression.
"Huh? What… happened? Ah… I am so tired…" he sighed.
"Rest for now, boy, you"ve been revived." I said.
"R-Revived?" he asked while wondering what I was talking about.
Indeed, it worked better than I thought, using all these procedures, he actually was revived for real.
To think that by combining all these types of magic, revival seems to be so trivial… of course, the crucial part is the soul. The body at the end is like your clothes, it can get eventually repaired or even replaced by a new one, but your true self is the soul.
If the soul is broken down or destroyed, that person simply disappears and there"s no way back to life… but as long as the soul is left, there are always chances.
I guess for most mortals this still seems mildly impossible, perhaps immortals can easily revive mortals, but I"ve achieved something legendary by itself. He isn"t even an Undead as I thought, he did indeed become alive once more.
His Mana Core began to flow with mana, and it was as if it was activated once more.
I used the Illusion and Dream Spell [Hypnosis] to make him sleep once more, and then I carried him in my arms outside the room.
I was greeted by a large crowd, Thaletus and Zetice were there, looking at the boy, they noticed he was breathing and sleeping peacefully.
"Y-You did it…?!" asked Thaletus.
"I-I can"t… I cannot believe it!" said Zetice.
"Shut up! He"s sleeping, you"re going to wake him up… Somebody, guide me to his room to leave him there. He needs to seriously sleep for now." I said.
"V-Very well!"
The two old men guided me to the kid"s room, and I left him over his bed, resting peacefully.
I guess that was that for now. I made sure to give him good dreams using dream magic, so he can recover well enough
After that, there were left some guards around Zephyr to monitor him and then we moved into celebrations, a big feast started in the palace, with food from the ice moon sect, and the winter lotus sect, alongside some of the food that was barely left in this sect.
The food was comforting and hit the spot after not having eaten in like 12 hours, so I felt rather happy myself.
"Thank you very much! I am so happy my kid is back! I will do anything! I will do anything for you, Drake! You have my utmost loyalty! Tell me who I have to kill!" said Zetice.
"I agree! You"ve already earned our loyalty. The miracle you"ve done is something that not even Immortals would be able to accomplish so easily! It was said that the Venerables were able to bring back people from death, but it was very hard for them!" said Thaletus.
"Eh? Really? It is so hard?" I wondered.
"Yes! It was outstanding!" said the grandma who was the wife of Thaletus.
"Indeed, you"ve left the entire place shocked." Said Thaletus.
"It wouldn"t be far to say they would worship you like a G.o.d from now on…" said Mikohime.
"That much? It was an arduous job, but it wasn"t as HARD as I thought." I said.
