Gods' Impact Online

Chapter 260 259- Necromancy

"I know Aria warned me to not use necromancy on the players and the NPCs, I am still curious. But what I am more curious about is why Aria warned me about it?" Rudy wondered.

'Isn't it for the best if I can revive the dead people? That's a blessing in my opinion…'

Zach gathered the bodies and placed them next to each other.

The first body was Ishajreon, who was left at fate's will, but he died after falling from Elliott's carrier.

The second body was Razeir, who died after losing all his HP.

The third body was Evonik, but his body was divided into two parts; his head and the bottom.

The fourth and the last body belonged to Thomas' Chick, who was cleaved into three parts by Zach's rank-5 undead demons.

Zach had assumed that Jeremy had also died, but he turned out to be alive. He had surrendered after his HP had decreased to 2%.

"Which one should I try first?" Zach asked himself after looking at the four bodies.

Zach decided to do it from the best body condition to worse, so he placed his hand on Ishajreon's body and uttered:

"Arise."

[Process failed! Unable to revive!]

[Zero attempts left!]

"..." Zach raised his brows in confusion and muttered, "So… there is only one try for the players?"

Zach moved to Razier and placed his hand on top of him before uttering, "Arise."

[Process failed! Unable to revive!]

[Zero attempts left!]

"Why is it failing?!" Zach then realized he wasn't pouring MP into them.

When Zach used necromancy for the first time, he had to pour all his mana into Cerberus' core to revive it. But after that, he revived everything else normally without pouring extra MP into them, and they confused a normal amount of MP upon revival.

Zach wasn't certain if he needed to pour mana into the players while reviving them. And even if that was the case, how much MP was he supposed to pour?

It gave only one attempt to revive the players, and pouring the wrong amount of MP would fail him too. Not only that, but every player had different types of MP requirements to get revived.

So it wasn't the only reason why Zach failed the first two revivals, and using MP wasn't a solution.

However, Zach was simply curious, and he didn't care if he failed or succeeded. He just wanted to see what would happen if he revived a dead player on NPCs.

Zach was very well aware of the fact that the bodies of the players in Gods' Impact were their soul shells. Once they died in the game, the link between the soul and the real body was severed. Hence, killing them in the real world too.

Zach was also curious as to what would happen if he managed to revive them. What will happen to their body in the real world, and how would they react?

Will they become alive again, or stay dead in the real world? If yes, then what will they be in Gods' Impact?

'An NPC?' Zach wondered.

He had too many questions, and the answers to them were very vague.

Zach moved to Evonik's body and placed his hand on it.

"I don't know how much MP I need to pour, but let's try 1000 first."

Zach poured 1000 MP and uttered, "Arise."

"..."

[Process failed! Unable to revive!]

[Zero attempts left!]

"Dammit!" Zach yelled in frustration and fury. But he wasn't angry because the revival failed, he was angry because he lost 1000 MP which he had managed to cultivate after the ten battles.

"And I still don't know why I am failing. Do they need more MPs? Or am I doing something wrong? At least tell me why it failed, dammit!"

Zach had already given up and lost hope about reviving them. And he didn't even know what he would do after reviving them.

Still, Zach wanted to try for the last time. So he moved to Thomas' Chick's body, which was the last and looked most gruesome of all.

He placed his hand on a dry spot and uttered, "Arise."

"...."

[Process successful!]

"...!"

Zach was enveloped by a bright light that blinded him, so naturally, he closed his eyes. But when he opened his eyes, all he saw was darkness; a void where nothing existed.

[Be careful what you wish for. You just revived a dead soul, you went against the law of the universe and broke the rule of life. You tampered with the cosmic frequency, and you did something that shouldn't have happened,] an ethereal voice resonated in the void.

[You… have triggered the fourth impact.]

Zach found himself with his eyes closed-- seemingly oblivious to the voice, so he opened them and saw the zombified body of Thomas' chick.

However, unlike dead bodies that rot as time passed, Thomas' chick could level up to get stronger and evolve. Which also meant that her body would get better as she grew stronger.

Zach was left baffled after seeing Thomas' Chick standing alive in front of him. He had too many things to ask her, so he slowly opened his mouth and asked:

"Where were you after you died?" Zach asked.

"..."

"Did you feel something when you came back to life?"

"..."

"Does your body still hurt?"

"...."

Zach asked many questions to ask her, but he didn't get a single response. He wasn't sure if she was unable to speak, or she simply didn't want to answer.

"Could it be the case like the demons?" Zach wondered. "The demons can't speak, not even the rank-5 demons. But Cerberus can despite being level 10. Well, he could speak at level 1 too."

"So if that depends on the species or race, humans are intelligent enough to…" Zach scratched his head and stared at Thomas' Chick with a confused and curious look on his face.

He asked her a few more questions, and after not getting any reply, he sighed and uttered, "Do you know me?"

Thomas' Chick still didn't answer.

Zach furrowed his brows and uttered, "Kneel."

She immediately knelt down.

That was when Zach realized that he didn't revive Thomas' Chick. Rather, he made her a brainless puppet who could follow his orders.

He now knew that reviving a dead soul was impossible.
