Chapter 66: 66

"The egg?"

"What?"

"Nothing…"

I unconsciously spoke out loud without realising, and Ena looked at me with a puzzled expression.

'What about the egg? What does it have anything to do with my current situation?'

I obviously knew which egg he was talking about. It was the mysterious 'Unknown Egg' that I had gotten after defeating that lion of Summoning General Felice. Lucas told me that the egg was significant and had appeared in history a few times, making the owner turn into people who played critical roles in their eras.

~~If Mystic Seed is nurtured in a conventional way, you will be able to make it hatch in about one or two years. But that will be a total waste of its true potential. Most people who got it were idiots who were never able to utilise the full potential of the mystic egg. Well, most people, excluding my former master.~~

Although I was curious about who this former master was, I decided to focus on the more pressing matter right now. And Mystic Seed?

[The information regarding the 'Unknown Egg' has changed.]

[Mystic Seeype: Pet Egrade: Unknow mysterious egg. Its origins are unknown, and it has a very, very low encounter rate. It can appear when killing monsters, opening chests, or as a reward for achievements and quests.

The pet that hatches out of it depends on the type of care it gets. Mystic pets have always been recorded to bring prosperity to their masters.]

The name of the egg changed, and there was a bit more information in it, but I was still clueless about its grade.

'So… what are you suggesting right now? Do you want me to heat the egg? Boil it? Freeze it? Or directly crack it open?'

~~No, no, no, no! Stay away from that route. How were you planning on reviving your lover?~~

'I actually have a…uh, something like a one-time soul nourisher.'

~~Okay, got it. Let me tell you something, which is more of common knowledge regarding the Mystic Seed than a secret. The more diverse and pure energy you feed your egg, the more characteristics the creature born from it will have.~~

I slowly got a hunch of what Bloodsong was trying to suggest.

'Are you suggesting using the soul nourisher skill on the egg rather than on a person? But what are the chances that the creature born from it will have any powers related to gathering scattered souls? Isn't that too far-fetched to even be considered a possibility?'

~~That is indeed a problem. To be honest, the reason I am recommending this is that the Mystic Seed is one of the most mysterious and awe-inspiring items I had come across when I was alive. I want to see what kind of creature or beast you can turn it into, and I am sure it'll have abilities related to the soul. But I can't guarantee it'll have what you're looking for.~~

It's not time to be testing stuff when I just have one shot at it. I need something more foolproof.

After a while, Bloodsong seemed to have thought of something else as he said excitedly.

~~Master, how about transferring the soul of the girl that you originally wanted to revive into the egg? That way, she'll also be able to reincarnate and you'll have one less trouble finding a suitable body, as the egg will construct the most suitable body for her by itself. Don't tell me that you think a mere ogre's body will still be intact after so many days, and after that grave plummeting… I don't believe so.~~

Realisation suddenly struck me. I had assumed that as long as I could bring her soul back to her body, Jeze would be revived, but I had totally forgotten about the condition in which her body must be currently.

'Will her memories be intact if she's reborn in another body?'

~~That… even I am not sure of. We can just hope for the best.~~

Hmm.

Well, of all people here, although it was harsh to say it out loud, Jeze was my priority. I really want to help everyone here, but if I had to pick just one from them, then it would undoubtedly be Jeze.

"Let's do it, waiting any longer does not benefit us."

"How can I help?"

Ena asked me as soon as she heard that I was about to proceed.

"Can you help me line up all the other bodies in one place? And can you please set up a barrier? Can you do that?"

"A barrier? I can do it… but why?"

"Souls would disappear after some time, but this is the abyss and the concentration of magic is higher here, so I am sure souls would last longer here. But we still can't be too sure, it's safer to put a barrier around the dead bodies to prevent their souls from totally dying out."

I could say all this because necromancy was a class here and there were many people who dealt with dead souls, so there was enough information even for someone like me. That's why a battlefield was called the heaven of necromancers, due to the large number of dead bodies it had.

'First of all, alchemy.'

I took out an alchemy pen and started to draw a hexagon. Drawing a circle inside and outside of the hexagon, I made a star interconnecting all three diagrams.

'Now's the tough part.'

According to the formula in the book of alchemy, the alchemy related to soul and spirit needed various types of incantations related to the calling of the spirits. It was said that it was a way to communicate with Gaia, the spirit of the earth, on a much stronger level.

'Fuck, who even makes these.'

The symbols were very intricate, far away from any English letter, but I just somehow tried to replicate them as well as I could. Even after many tries, the symbols weren't exactly the same, but they were enough to perform the alchemy.

I took out the fruit of unification and directly placed it inside the circle, without cutting it into pieces. I needed to perform alchemy on the whole fruit at once, and one failure would mean the end.

That is the reason why something as rare as the fruit of unification, with its heaven-defying powers, was still rated as just an Epic II item. It only had one practical use, and that also had very low chances of happening.

"I seeketh thy assistance in making what the heavens f'rbid. Oh, most wondrous Gaia, holp me maketh the remedy yond unifies hath lost souls."

I chanted the spell and the incantations and symbols lit up with a bright violet flame, starting to circle around and change on their own. The symbols started gathering around the fruit and slowly climbed all over the fruit. After attaching themselves to the fruit, the symbols formed two rings around the fruit like the planet Saturn.

Boom!

Suddenly, the fruit burst like a balloon, but the pulp didn't scatter around, instead, it turned into an essence of air, as if the fruit never existed and all that existed was that greenish essence.

Soon after, soil from inside the circle started gathering and turned into a small glass vial. The essence entered the vial and the lid of the vial closed itself. Right after, the lit-up incantation started dimming and the bottle slowly landed on the ground.

"....."

~~Wonderfully done!~~

"But I didn't do it… or was it that easy?"

~~....~~

[The alchemy has succeeded and the 'Quintessence of Unification' has been created with the assistance of Gaia.]

[Your heartfelt feelings and your brilliant chant had summoned Gaia itself!]

[Luck increased by +10.]
