Chapter 249 - Forbidden Skill - Part 3

Arina ignored the Guardian Knights' sharp gazes. The moment they heard they would be sacrificed to revive a girl, all of them gazed at her coldly. If their gazes could kill, she would die many times for sure.

She ignored the furious glares and also curses directed toward her. She walked next to Delia's body. Looking at the naive and pure smile upon her death caused her to feel guilty for not being able to save her.

That was one of many reasons she had for her willingness to use [Revival] on her. Arina closed her eyes as she extended her hand toward the young girl. She took a last long breath and activated the skill.

[Revival]

All of a sudden, Arina's body discharged a bright light. It started from her body before the light gathered around her palm, creating a ball of light that was brighter than the sun in the sky.

Tang Shaoyang had to close his eyes as it was unbearable even for him. However, he used [Spirit Eyes], his skill was not affected by the blinding light.

Through [Spirit Eyes], Tang Shaoyang witnessed the whole process of [Revival]. He could see the ball that released the blinding light was absorbing the blue energies from the hundred Guardian Knights.

The Guardian Knight fell lifeless one by one, it was as if their life was sucked into the ball of light.

The more energies it absorbed, the ball of light was getting smaller and more solid. It took a full minute to absorb all blue energies from the knight. At the end of it, the ball of light was suppressed to the size of a marble.

He checked Arina, the High Cleric had her eyes closed as well. The blinding light was affecting her too, she could not open her eyes to see what happened. After absorbing the energies from the knights, the ball of light slowly descended to Delia's body.

The ball of light entered through her forehead. The light spread out all over her body, shining brightly. In the next split second, Delia's body disintegrated into light particles.

Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brows. Arina said this was her first time using the skill, so she did not know the whole process. It was the same for him, so he did not know this was a good sign or a bad sign, 'Is it possible for [Revival] to fail?'

He did not act rashly, but his gaze was focusing on the light particles that still floated in front of Arina. Soon, he noticed the light particles were moving. The light particles started to fuse once again.

A single light particle fused into another light particle, and it continued until all light particles came together, forming a humanoid shape. Slowly, the light dispersed from the head, and Delia's face came into his sight.

The girl closed her eyes, sleeping peacefully. Slowly, the light around her chest area also disappeared as her naked chest showed herself. At this sight, Tang Shaoyang moved, he came closer to Arina while taking out his clothes from the inventory.

He then stood next to Arina, waiting for the whole process to finish. It did not take a long time before the [Revival] was over. As soon as the blinding light was gone, he squatted down and put the clothes on the girl. Before she could open her eyes, he dressed the girl. He would not let the girl's body be seen by the knights.

Arina felt that the light was gone, she slowly opened her eyes to see Delia was in Tang's embrace. She was surprised, but her main focus was on the girl. She was curious if the [Survival] had failed or not.

Tang Shaoyang turned around to see her, "Is it possible for [Revival] to fail?"

Arina nodded her head, "I have been researching about the skill. [Revival] does not guarantee a hundred percent success, but ninety-nine percent success for the first resurrection. The chance of failing is very low unless…"

Unless Delia was unlucky, but she did not finish her words. She did not dare to, she saved the last part for herself. Now they were waiting for Delia to open her eyes.

Tang Shaoyang nodded and looked back to the girl who was sleeping peacefully. He then placed his hand on her chest to feel her heartbeat. If the [Revival] succeeded, her heart should have to pulsate by now.

The moment he placed her palm on her chest, Delia opened her eyes wide. He could also feel that her heartbeat was spiked up suddenly. As soon as she opened her eyes, she gasped for breath as tears fell from her eyes.

Tang Shaoyang immediately hugged the girl, rubbing her back gently to calm her down. She just experienced the scariest thing in her life which was Death itself. It was normal for her to be disordered like this, "It's okay, you are safe~ It's okay, you are safe~," he whispered gently to her ears.

It was proved his effort was not futile as the girl calmed down. Delia recognized the man's voice as she immediately hugged her back, sobbing right after.

"I… I…" she wanted to say something but the words just would not come out of her mouth, "It's okay~ It's okay~ I am here, no one can hurt you again, it's okay~."

Arina let out a relieved sigh, if [Revival] failed, there was no more chance for the girl.

It took fifteen minutes for Delia to calm down, "Darkness, I can see nothing, I can't even breath, I am so scared," those were what she said after she calmed down.

'Is that how you feel after you die?' He was asking his spirits who had experienced death.

—That's true, I still have my awareness, but I can't see anything but darkness, and of course, I am no longer breathing. But the realization that I am no longer breathing hurts me a lot, anxiety and more negative things start to bubble up. That was the worst- the second worst thing I have experienced.

Zowen shared her experiences while Zaneos and Karan did not reply to him. But he knew they should have experienced the same thing.

"It's okay, you are safe now. I have punished the bad guys, and I will destroy all of them, I will!" He whispered to her ears.
