Chapter 288 Ressurection

MC POV

Darkness...

Everywhere I looked, there was nothing more than just the darkness and more and more of darkness... 

And cold, I felt immense cold, which was weird... normally I would be immune due to my Lord Class Knight of Niflheim, but now I was feeling cold like the coldness itself was penetrating deep into my very own soul...

And on top of that, my memories were hazy... I felt like I got kicked into the head by a horse or kangaroo... 

I remembered a bit of the recent events, how I walked directly into the trap orchestrated by the Magisterium through some of their intermediaries... and how I felt some wannabe Pirate King called Wentworth Ruthland...

The only true Pirate King is Roger...

But that aside... I also remembered...

Dying?

Yes...

That would be that one...

That feeling and experience...

Dying...

What a life... that was why I was right now feeling like a falling down? 

And I was also feeling a pain, so much pain that I never felt through my entire life and existence, it hurt so much, but yet I couldn't even scream or feel anything else aside from the pain coming from my soul.

[User Samiel Zentaur has been inflicted with severe Anti-Void Injury.]

Yes, I remembered that one... nasty thing to be inflicted with the Anti-Void weapon specifically crafted to kill Eldritch Beings, those of that origin or the ones dwelling in the Void, such thing I couldn't have survived indeed...

[Physical Body has been killed.]

[User Samiel Zentaur has lost a large portion of the Soul Source.]

Soul Source was the origin of someone's very own soul, any damage done to the Soul Source was almost night impossible to heal and it was also extremely dangerous and deadly, as most of the injuries to the Soul Source resulted in swift and sure death.

That fact that I suffered one and was apparently in some sort of state between life and death, or whatever I was in right now, was a miracle in itself that I couldn't really fully comprehend and it was highly possible that the sole reason why I was still alive was due to the direct interference of the Great Dreamer.

[User Samiel Zentaur has lost the Unique Class Grand Necromancer.]

[User Samiel Zentaur has lost control over his all Undead.]

Losing a portion of my Soul Source was something very severe because now that I lost part of my own Soul Source, I knew I lost all of my affinity for the Necromantic Arts with the loss of the Soul Source of the Necromancy.

However I couldn't say that it was really surprising me because my affinity for the Necromancy and the Class Grand Necromancer was actually much weaker than for the Knight of Niflheim since I entered the Tower.

Now, holding on to all aspects related to the Necromancy would be redundant from a certain point of view.

It was logical that I would be losing everything related to that; without the Class, its usage was futile and in truth, I wasn't even a good Necromancer and it was not suitable for me.

Since I have obtained the Lord Class Knight of Niflheim and the Level 3 Ultimate Ability Winter Ruler coupled with the Winter Magic, I found the unnatural joy in the close combat mixed with the Magic Combat.

Not to mention the newly obtained Mystic Arte Thorns Arte... 

[Revival Protocols have been initiated by the ?!?]

[The Sacrificial Rebirth has been started.]

Indeed there was something that was supposed to keep me alive as it was... something immediately reacted and activated itself as I felt an unnatural amount of power congregating around my falling consciousness...

It was power far higher than even that I felt from my master Hall Master Menuhyutt Faulhaber.

[Commencing the Evolution.]

[Suitable Materials have been found: Bloodline Crystal of Fallen Angel, Lesser Divine Shard, All Mana Crystals and Soul Force Crystals.]

[Sacrificing the unnecessary parts of the Soul Source. Does the User Samiel Zentaur wish to sacrifice: Undead Creation, Swordsmanship, Necromancy Arts, Basic Necromancy Magic and Intermediate Necromancy Magic?]

[Sacrificing the redundant parts of the Soul Source will make the Evolution stronger by a great margin.]

Indeed, to obtain something, you need to sacrifice something at first, as I agreed to it... now, after losing the Unique Class Grand Necromancer, the knowledge, while albeit undeniably useful, I am willing to sacrifice for the greater good...

Not to mention, Swordmsnaship was mostly wasteful to me... not only that, but I planned to sacrifice everything that was cumulated through the Soul Devouring...

[Does User Samiel Zentaur wish to proceed?]

Indeed... do I?

Sometimes, I wondered... if death wasn't the best solution because I would finally get my peace...

No... 

For the first time in my life, I felt some longing to live again...

I wondered what had changed...

Perhaps the time I spent in the Tower has changed me more than I have thought. 

For what do I want even to live? 

What was the reason?

Does all of this even have some reason? 

For what were we there?

I don't know... for some time; I was just starting at it...

At the translucent words in front of my eyes as they were just levitating up there...

Maybe I was not sane for wanting to die?

Maybe yes, and maybe no...

Who knows...

But now I felt a weird longing to live...

I clicked on yes as I felt the Bloodline Crystal containing the Fallen Angel Bloodline levitating in front of my eyes together with the Lesser Divine Crystal; countless Mana Crystals and Soul Force Crystals were also floating around me as they shined in a myriad of colors...

If I could, I would certainly be screaming at the pain that I was feeling right now, but I couldn't... yet I felt it... my body was being reconstructed into something greater and newer, into something stronger and more powerful.
