Is That A Wisp?

Chapter 372 - Guarantee



Krune looked at Olave and Valindra and said.

"It is as I told Olave in the past. My Purple Flame Pills are very tyrannical, so if you decide to step back, now is the time to do it. If you choose to go ahead, then make sure that enough Spiritual Energy is provided."

​​

Olave looked at the Pill and at his daughter Soul. It was then that he remembered that all of Jolk's Pills had a Purple Flame once you injected some Spiritual Energy. He tried it out, and sure enough, an ethereal Purple Flame that didn't cause any harm appeared.

Olave and Valindra looked at each other and exchanged a few words through Divine Sense. In the end, both nodded at each other.

"Alright, we will go ahead."

Krune smiled, hearing that.

"Just approach the Pill to the Soul and use your Spiritual Energy to melt it. Because of the Life Dew of the Death Tree, the Soul will immediately start absorbing it. From then onwards, it is up to your daughter's luck."

Olave did as Krune said and began to melt the Pill. Right after, the weak Soul felt the presence of the Life Dew and started to absorb it. Olave 

prepared everything and even brought out thousands of Spirit Stones that filled the ground around him.

While the Soul absorbed the medicinal liquid, Feifei decided to ask Krune through a Divine Sense.

"Don't your Purple Flame Pills usually have some extra effect?"

Krune nodded.

"Yes, but this time, it seems like it is not related to the effects after being swallowed."

Feifei was puzzled at first, but then she remembered what Krune told her about the Life Dew Pill.

"I see, this Pill is supposed to be consumed as fast as possible, or its properties will disappear. Could it be that the side effect this time is related to it?"

Krune smiled at Feifei after hearing that.

"Precisely. Check it out with your Divine Sense."

Krune brought out the last bottle with Life Dew Pill and gave it to Feifei.

She then user her Divine Sense to feel the Pill itself. Sure enough, the leaking of Life Energy that was supposed to be happening was nowhere to be found.

"Doesn't that mean that you can make Life Dew Pills that last forever? Just how much would it be able to de sold for if others find about it?"

Krune shrugged his shoulders.

"Who knows? Anyway, we would need the help of Divinity Realm cultivators and demon beasts to be able to get Life Dewdrops in the Underworld. So it is not very realistic to want to sell it. I will just keep this one for an emergency."

Feifei had to admit that Krune was right. No Divinity Realm would pay much attention to the money that a Golden Stars Pill could make. Of course, unless they are also in a situation similar to Olave and Valindra.

The Soul finally finished and absorbing all the medicinal liquid, and suddenly, it started to contort. Seeing that, Olave and Valindra immediately got frightened. They could only look at Krune for an answer.

"What is happening?!"

Krune sighed.

"I told you, didn't I? My Purple Flame Pills are just like that. Her Soul is too weak, so she is struggling to deal with the Medicinal Properties. Look at the Spiritual Energy coming out of the Spirit Stones, it is being crazily absorbed. I reckon that if she can hold for at least a minute, the most dangerous part will be over."

Both Olave and Valindra got nervous and looked at their daughter's Soul. Krune had mentioned about this risk several times, so they couldn't really complain about it.

Every second was like an eternity for the couple, but the Soul resited. Finally, the first minute that Krune talked about passed. By now, Olave and Valindra could see that the struggle that the Soul was passing through lessened. Krune saw that as well and smiled.

"The recovery already started. If she didn't disappear until now, then she probably won't anymore."

Olave and Valindra let out a sigh of relief and kept waiting.

Sure enough, they could finally sense with their Divine Senses that he deteriorated state of the Soul was disappearing. It quickly began to grow in size as well. Eventually, the speed which it was absorbing the Spiritual Energy started to reduce until it stopped altogether.

Suddenly, that mass of soul energy started to change, and it took the form of a girl who seemed to be in her teens. Krune and Feifei immediately understood that that was how that couple's daughter looked like before she died. Of course, they know better that it was only her appearance. Her real age was probably several times higher than that.

"W-Where... am I?"

Valindra started to cry.

"Maelyrra, it's me, your mother. Can you remember me?"

Maelyrra Merfil was her name. She looked at her parents and felt like the world around was spinning. She couldn't make heads and toes of what was happening.

But after a few minutes, her Soul began to stabilize, and her memories got clearer.

"Ah! I.. my heart was pierced through by that Saber. I was supposed to be dead, what is happening?"

Olave smiled and then used a Divine Sense message to explain everything that happened.

When Maelyrra finished sorting all the information, she couldn't help but look gratefully at Krune, or better, Jolk. After all, anyone would choose to not have their memories wiped out during reincarnation.

"Thank you."

Valindra and Olave did the same and thanked Krune as well.

Krune nodded and said.

"Don't worry. Just make sure that when the time comes, you will help me."

It was then that Olave and Valindra remembered that Krune said that he would leave a guarantee behind. Both of them immediately used their Divine Senses to thoroughly check Maelyrra's Soul. Still, in the end, they couldn't find anything.

'Could it be that he didn't do anything?'

Krune, of course, could totally tell what they were thinking. He snapped his finger, and suddenly, an arc of Purple Lightning appeared around Maelyrra for a second. 

"Maelyrra!"

Valindra and Olave were shooked to see that and thought that Krune had hurt their daughter. But contrary to their expectation, Maelyrra just looked at them with a puzzled face.

"Is something wrong?"

It was then that Olave and Valindra understood. Maelyrra didn't see or feel anything. At that moment, they received a Divine Sense message from Krune.

"Don't worry, she doesn't know anything. As I said before, this is just a guarantee to ensure that Olave will keep his promise in the future. Do not take it personally, don't forget that your Zenfin Sect and all the others want me dead. So I can't simply trust your words. Also, I did warn Olave about it when we made this agreement."

Although Valindra was fuming, Olave didn't let her say anything. He also sent a Divine Sense message to her

"Don't forget how his Will acted last time you threatened him."

Valindra's anger immediately deflated like a balloon after hearing those words. Sure enough, she remembers how Jolk instantly gave up helping their daughter last time she did that. If things went wrong, he might kill her daughter right here and right now. She felt like a threat would be the worst thing she could say at the moment.

Krune, of course, didn't know what happened between the couple and his Will. A Will is something you leave behind without a connection. It is different from a Soul Slive, which the Soul is connected to. Still, Krune isn't an idiot, so he could tell more or less what they were thinking.

Olave saw that his wife calmed down and then said.

"As I said, as long as it is not something that will harm my Zenfin Sect, I will definitely pay this favor."

He then took out a Token from his Spatial Ring and passed it to Krune.

"In case you need me, put some spiritual energy inside this Token. I will be immediately informed that you want to see me. This Token has a Divine Sense mark of mine, so I can feel its presence anywhere inside Dalin Universe."

Krune nodded and put the Token away. Of course, Krune wouldn't bring such a dangerous thing with him out of the Wisp Worlds. He will simply leave it here and use it when the time comes.

Olave then looked at Maelyrra and said.

"Even though your Soul has recovered, the fact is that you died. So it will start to deteriorate again very soon. Because of that, we will have to send you into the Cycle of Samsara straight away. But don't worry, I already used my Divine Sense to cover your Soul, it will protect your memories during the passage. Once you reach the Divine Soul Realm, those memories will be released."

Maelyrra nodded but decided to ask a question first.

"What about the one who killed me?"

Olave's killing intent started to leave his body after hearing that.

"I haven't found who did that yet. But I will definitely do it."

Valindra also nodded.

"Mother will help too, so go ahead and don't worry about us."

Maelyrra knew that it was time and agreed with them.

"Alright, I will see you again someday."

Olave sighed and held Maelyrra's Soul, Space laws started to get around him, and once more, he connected to the Underworld. This time, he really opened a Spatial Gate. He didn't do that before because opening one to the Underworld used too much energy. But because he had stopped Maelyrra's Soul from crossing naturally before, she wouldn't be able to do that anymore on her own. So he was forced to open the Spatial Gate this time.

Maelyrra felt like something was calling her from the other side of the gate and started to subconsciously move in that direction. Olave and Valindra knew about that already and didn't say anything. 

Maelyrra's Soul passed through and finally, disappeared inside. The Spatial Gate was kept open for just a few seconds, but it was enough to make Olave Sweat bullets. He finally confirmed that she finished passing through and closed the gate.

Maelyrra was gone.
