Chapter 52 The Utility Of A Lifeless Vessel
As I sat there, trying to relax, I felt Serenu's eyes on me. I turned to look at him, and he began to explain his plan how he was was going to use a spell to bring Nari's soul back.
"It will take a few seconds, but after that, I will need a day off," he fixed his glasses again.
A glimmer of hope sparked inside me, and I couldn't help but feel grateful to have Serenu by my side.
"Yes, take as many days as you need!"
But as we talked, I noticed that Nari's body was slowly turning blue. Panic sat in, and I looked at Serenu, urging him to hurry. I couldn't bear the thought of losing Nari forever, and I know that time was running out.
I watched in nervous anticipation as Serenu began to perform the spell, his hands moving gracefully through the air as he chanted softly under his breath. The room filled with an otherworldly energy, and I simply felt my heart racing in my chest.
Suddenly, there was a blinding flash of light, and I shielded my eyes with my arm. When the light subsided, I saw Nari's body lying on the bed, her chest rising and falling with each breath.
Relief flooded through me, and I couldn't help but let out a sigh of gratitude. Serenu has done it - he brought Nari back to life. I turned to him, my voice filled with emotion as I thanked him for his help.
"I don't know what to say anymore… thank you!"
pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ As we sat there, basking in the warmth of Nari's return, I felt a sense of hope for the future. We've overcame this challenge together, and I knew that we could face whatever else may come our way.
I looked down at Nari's body, my heart raced with excitement and a sense of invincibility. I knew that with my two powers, I was now unstoppable. No one could take me down, and I had the ability to eliminate anyone with just one move of my finger.
It was a feeling of absolute power, and I relished in it. The thought of being able to control life and death was exhilarating, and I knew that no one could stand in my way. I could rule the world and do whatever I pleased, without any fear of retribution.
However, as my mind raced with these thoughts, a sense of caution crept in. I knew that with great power came great responsibility. I had to be careful not to let my newfound abilities consume me just yet.
I turned to Serenu, whose forehead broke down in sweat and without realising it, the right corner of my lips lifted on its own.
Serenu, who was a healer, stood there without understanding what was going on with me, he couldn't read my mind but my vision was clear.
Having him, a healer by my side, I was unstoppable… I was now able to easily kill and bring back that bastard to life and kill him again just for fun. Torture and when he's out of breath, kill again and bring back to life one more time… Not only Hector, all of them!!!
All my enemies will die, every single one of them who went against my word…
"Master Rowen…"
As I was sitting, lost in my thoughts, I suddenly heard Nari call out my name. It was as if her voice had cut through the haze in my mind, bringing me back to reality.
I turned to face her, and in that moment, all my thoughts of power and invincibility vanished. I was reminded of the person I was before I gained my abilities, and the person who Nari was expecting to see.
Her voice was like a soothing balm, and it was as if she had pulled me back from the edge of a precipice. I realized that my thoughts had been consuming me, and I was grateful for her presence, which had brought me back to reality.
I got up from my chair by pushing it back with my feet and using my hands to steady myself as I stood.
I slowly walked over to her and asked her how she was feeling, "is there any pain in your body?"
She gently shook her head to the both sides, relieved to see that she was alive and breathing. I knew that I had to be careful with my powers, and that they could not be used to hurt those who were close to me.
In that moment, I was reminded of the responsibility that came with my abilities…
"…I'm really sorry," I spoke calmly.
"Master, let's do it again!"
As Nari spoke, I leaned back in surprise, my eyes widening and my jaw dropping at her words.
"What the actual fuck…" I raised my voice, "what are you talking about? Are you insane, you almost died!!!"
I mean, technically, she was already dead but thanks to Serenu, she was brought back again.
"It was a great experience, let's do it again!" Her eyes sparkled when she looked at me.
'Is this woman crazy?' I gulped as I thought inside my head…
Was she a masochist perhaps?
"Can you even hear yourself?" I asked her.
I couldn't help but feel like she wasn't really listening to me. It was like my words were just bouncing off her, as if she wasn't really taking in what I was saying. And the worst part was that I could tell she was just wanted to repeat the same mistake again.
It was frustrating, to say the least. I cared about Nari deeply, and I wanted to help her avoid dying again. But it seemed like she was determined to go down that path again, no matter what I said.
And then, something strange happened. As I was watching her, I noticed that her pale skin started to turn back to life. It was like a wave of energy was passing through her, bringing color back to her cheeks and brightness to her eyes.
In that moment, I realized that maybe Nari wasn't ignoring me after all. Maybe she was just lost in her own thoughts and needed a little time to process everything I was saying. And as I watched her come back to life, I felt a glimmer of hope that maybe, just maybe, she would be more careful with her own body.
