Restarting Life In Another World - 160 4.22 The revival ceremony

To be honest, there wasn’t much point in asking them now since most of those questions were just to quell my curiosity. And for some reason, I didn’t feel like disturbing him as he, himself, was anxious about how things would go from here.

Even though he was an immortal dragon who had lived for thousands of years, he was acting like an ordinary human.

‘So, this is what love does to the immortals.’

I had never experienced a situation like this one myself, but one thing was for sure. He looked weak and vulnerable right now.

Compared to the almighty dragon that I fought a while ago, the person standing near me and staring at the coffin was more like a human.

While I was thinking about that, I could see Flare approach the cave. The seal was still intact, and the door was locked, so there was nowhere for her to enter.

I stood up from my chair, which caught Hazel’s attention. “She is here.”

He nodded and opened the main door of the manor. After Flare entered, he closed the door again.

“How’s everything there?” I asked.

For now, I just wanted them to stay calm and wait a bit until we resolve the issue. From what I knew about Anna, she wasn’t the type to just stay calm and wait in this situation. So, the best thing to do here would be to complete the ceremony as soon as possible and return.

“I informed them of your well being and the current situation. They still seem somewhat anxious. However, I have told them that there is nothing to worry about, and you are completely safe.”

“Thank you, Flare”—I turned towards Hazel—”I think we should get started.”

“For the first step, we would need to remove the spirit from the pendant.”

Hazel walked up to Flare and handed her the pendant. After receiving the pendant, she looked at me for confirmation.

Once I confirmed it with a nod, she used her flames to purify the pendent. As she was doing that, a blue smoke appeared out of the pendant.

“Thank you for freeing me from this curse, oh great sun spirit.”

After saying those words, the cloud disappeared into nothing. I was not sure about what that was, so I looked at Flare for an explanation.

“It was a water spirit. He was probably cursed due to the excessive intake of miasma during the era of chaos. Usually, when that happens, a spirit can be corrupted and changed into an evil spirit.”

The spirits could never die, but they could be trapped like this. For them, this was probably worse than death. Now that it was free, it could reincarnate with its memories intact, so there was nothing to worry about.

“Now that we are done with the first part. I will need both of your help for the second part. We will need to do a lot of things simultaneously for it to work.”

“Alright, we are prepared. What do we need to do?” I asked.

Hazel walked inside the room and stood next to the coffin. “You, boy, need to stand in front of me. And as for the sun spirit, I would like her to empower the circle with her flames. It is said that her flames can even heal the wounds in the soul, so I would like to request her to support all three of us.”

I walked to the center of the circle and stood next to the coffin. After everyone was in place, Flare lit the stone stand with wood with her flames. From there, her flames slowly ran throughout the magic circle.

After the circle was ready, Hazel removed the lid from the coffin and started supplying his mana into the circle.

“You, boy, will need to do the most important thing of all. You will need to bring her consciousness here, and the moment you do that, I will insert her soul and start the body functions using magic. But as said, everything should happen simultaneously.”

I had started feeling the pressure, so I took a long breath to compose myself. I then closed my eyes and started meditating.

The first thing I realized as I was meditating was how hard it was to focus while standing. My mind was mostly just focused on my body. It was noticing every little detail and movement.

However, staying stuck here would make everything meaningless. My goal here was to reach the gap between spaces, and not just anywhere in the gap between space. I had to get to the place where her consciousness was.

Slowly, I accepted everything about my body, and as I got used to the little uneasyness, I was able to go beyond.

I had already gotten a hold of my conscious and subconscious thoughts, so it didn’t take me long to get past that stage. And once I got past that, I reached the darkness, the gap between the spaces.

I was somewhere in the gap between the space, but it wasn’t where I saw her last time. That meant the first attempt was a failure.

I brought my consciousness back to my body and countered my thoughts again. However, this time, I thought about her and the places where I was then.

I realized I was thinking about her when I lost my consciousness last time. That must be why I ended up reaching to her in the gap between the space.

“You came back. It’s a surprise that you are still alive.”

I heard her voice even before I could confirm where I was. I was glad that I was able to reach the place, but the real challenge was in front of me now.

‘Hopefully, I will be able to convince her this time.’
