Chapter 187: Arduous Testings Lead To Great Results

—–

After using Decomposition over the rabbit’s corpse, I used Corpse Healing to heal and recover the rotting body slowly, bit by bit.

Flash!

As if it were a wondrous sight, the decaying corpse gained some freshness, and the more mana I poured, the fresher it looked.

The wound that Skadi left on its stomach recovered and closed, and even some fur went back.

But sadly, this can’t bring someone back from the dead, the corpse is still a corpse.

Inserting the soul inside… might do the trick though, if I had a rabbit soul though, if not, it will become an Undead if I insert a soul that has already been infected by mana.

Due to this, there’s a certain window of time that corpses have before they can be recovered and then revived by putting the soul back… And that’s without even considering brain damage and the like, which might end up making the person a vegetable.

This is why if they become Undead, they don’t have to worry about brain damage because their thoughts and emotions are within their souls instead of their brains, although the body is also used…

I ended practicing these two spells over and over again over the course of the day… I needed to gain as much proficiency and understanding over these arts before doing anything rashly.

In the end, I had to postpone this because I felt I wasn’t ready yet and wanted to practice more. The more I use a spell and magic type, the better I become, so what I must do is simply… use the spells over and over again.

“Sorry, Benladann… I think I need some more time to prepare, I don’t want to mess this up,” I said.

“Oh, it’s fine! You stayed most of the day there, so why don’t we eat something together, dear?” she asked.

“Sure.”

In the end, we had dinner just the two of us rather later, it was quite romantic, and I enjoyed it a lot.

After that, I wanted to keep experimenting with the spells, but Benladann wanted to sleep cuddling with me, so I had to leave this for tomorrow.

We kissed a lot while in bed, and then we fell asleep after showering each other with love.

I think I require just some more days of practice… And I can do it.

I suppose I will take the week off and just stay in the fortress with everyone. We can postpone dungeon exploration as there’s no rush.

[Day 114]

Around four days had passed since I began practicing the spells, the days have been quite normal, although it included myself closing inside of the laboratory doing all sorts of experiments with corpses, Benladann missed me through the day, but at night we compensated with it by having dinner together.

However, I woke up very early today, and… I think I’ve done it…

I did it… and it only took just a few days…

There were two pale Ice Giants in front of me. One was a woman and the other was a muscular man. Their hair was still short, but it had grown a bit more.

Yes… These are… my parents-in-law. They are Benladann’s parents.

It was so hard… I had to use thousands of Mana Stones to refill my Mana because it took so many thousands of mana to recover completely burnt corpses into such conditions… It took almost ten hours. It must be midday by now.

I am really quite amazing, aren’t I? Heh… Ugh…

I am tired, my Mana Cores are so exhausted they are actually giving me pain in the chest and stomach.

But there they are… the corpses… recovered…

At long last…

Phew…

Now… we just need to bring Benladann’s weapon and shield here.

I quickly rushed outside to find Benladann peeking over the door.

“Uwah!” she cried in surprise.

“Benladann, perfect timing, bring your parent’s souls! Look!”

I showed her the fruit of my relentless work, as her eyes opened wide.

“T-Their bodies…! T-They’re recovered?!” she cried, tears quickly beginning to be poured from her eyes.

“I did… it! I really did it! But don’t cry yet! Bring the weapons!”

“Okay!”

Benladann brought the axe and shield quickly after, the soul presences of her parents were dormant inside.

I placed both on a separate table and began to manipulate the souls inside through my Death Magic. I used my own soul and gently grabbed her mother first, putting her slowly over her corpse.

Benladann’s mother had just woke up from her dormant state and felt strange. At first, the corpse began to tremble a bit, but then, it receded…

I quickly did the same for her father, and the same thing happened to his body.

After that, we were done with this… both corpses began to slowly emanate more and more essence, the Ice Giants corpses slowly began to move, but something strange happened, the bodies suddenly gained a new essence within them, as the mana cores in their chests, which were still intact, flashed with bright light, connecting with the souls.

“I-Is it working?” asked Benladann nervously.

“It seems so… they are adapting to their bodies again… It seems to have been a long time since they got inside. Let’s wait for them a bit more,” I said. Benladann held my hands tightly as I hugged her, both of us glanced at the scene nervously, our hearts were pumping incredibly fast.

“Please… come back…!”

“Mom… Dad! Please!”

“Mama! Papa!”

“Come back with me! Sniff…”

FLAAAASH!

Suddenly, an explosion of mana came from both corpses, blinding our sight for a bit.

And then… it dissipated.

The two bodies stopped moving, as their eyes began to slowly open. They were crimson red this time…

The handsome muscular ice giant man and the beautiful ice giant woman slowly sat down over the tables, looking at their nude bodies.

“Ah… What is going on?” wondered the man.

“Hmm… It feels as if I was… in a very long dream…” sighed the woman.

Benladann was paralyzed and left speechless. Rivers of tears began to come out of her eyes.

“MAMA! PAPAAAA!”

She jumped over the two, who were still dizzy, and hugged them.

“Eh? Ah…! Who is she? Wait…!”

“That voice… How can we forget?”

“Benladann?! Is it really you?!”

“My daughter!”
