Chapter 1132 Life
There were no longer ice statues standing.
No more were the chaotic noises brought by the young creatures.
All those things were now gone, replaced by 18 yellow seedlings that arose from the ashes of their remains.
Still shaken by what they had just witnessed, Ery with Twik in his embrace slowly approached the yellow seedlings. A mixed feeling sprouted in his heart.
Imdiately, Ery used his [Nature Grasp] to perceive the seedling once again. Thanks to that, he finally realized that they were not just ordinary plants. Although faint, he could sense a sliver of consciousness within these seedlings.
But what does it an exactly? Does it an that this is all they could beco? Will they even be able to go back to how they used to be?
This line of thought Ery had was interrupted by Grand Magus Yvere as he said words that shot deep.
"Is that all their life an to you?"
Once again, Ery was stunned hearing the elder's words.
Realizing that Ery fell into contemplation at his words as he tried to find aning behind it, the grand magus cleared the confusion by asking another question that stirred him up.
"There is more to life for them than just becoming your little soldier, aren't they?"
Grand Magus Yvere's profound words pierced and etched itself deep within Ery and pondering it, the confusion that was within him slowly disappeared. A glint of realization flashed across his eyes.
He suddenly recalled what the Arbor master had taught him, how ever since one awakened, they had transford from an ordinary plant and beco a true living beings. One with their own consciousness.
aning Ery should stop treating them like a summon who he can order however he wants, he needs to start thinking about what's best for them although it might not be in line with what he needs.
Ery looked upon these 18 Chizpur Fang seedlings with a new understanding of life. He also realized his mistake, that he had been too reckless in his actions by forcing them to grow and threatening their lives.
Staring at the seedlings, Ery's face sported a regretful look as he whispered softly,
"I am sorry… I will definitely take good care of all of you"
After that, his attention fell on the other scattered dust on the ground – the remains of the other twelve little creatures. In that instant, the terrifying images of their death surfaced from his mory.
Subconsciously, Ery turned his head towards the grand magus. Realizing what the gaze ant, the elder shook his head and said,
"Unfortunately, I cannot bring back those who have died."
Even though he had sowhat expected it, the words still brought pain to his chest. Regret welled up inside him again, as he lanted the reckless actions he had taken that had caused all of this.
After expressing his deep gratitude to the grand magus once again, Ery slowly walked over to one of them and using his bare hand, dug a small hole which he used to bury the remains of the little creature.
"Kuang ku ku.."
"You want to help, Twik? Alright, let's do it together."
Ery could simply use spells to do the deed and make it easy for himself. But no.
He perford the burial ceremony of the dead Chizpur Fang one by one with the utmost respect.
Even though he only knew these young plant creatures for a few days at most, they were all created, or rather, awakened by his own hands. They were all his creation, his responsibilities.
Added with the fact their death ca from his mistakes making these much harder than he thought.
With every dirt, he touched and a hole he dug, every dust was filled with his deep regret as they were put into their last resting place.
Since he was subrged in his deep wailing, Ery didn't realize that Grand Magus Yvere still hadn't left. A faint smile crept its way onto the grand magus' face, and it looked like the grand magus started to take so interest in him.
Previously, Grand Magus Yvere only rembered Ery as an acolyte with an interesting rare plant creature.
Although there were a few ways to awaken a plant into a sentient being, he had never seen an acolyte capable of doing such an act. Hence the reason why Ery's figure stuck in his mory.
What surprised him this ti was how far the plant creature he t at that ti had evolved. This was what initially made him disappointed with the young acolyte, that such wonder was about to be destroyed by thoughtless actions.
Despite that, the progress shown by the plant creature still astounded him. Especially the light-base core that had been established in the plant creature and the acolyte himself, which he knew didn't possess it the last ti they t.
With such interest, the grand magus decided to hang around and watch as Ery slowly buried the remains one by one.
Before long, all twelve Chizpur Fangs that died and turned to dust were buried in the ground. There was an air of mourning in the garden as Ery perford the final burial ceremony and looked at the twelve graves he had made.
When he finished the last one, Ery found it so hard to pull his arm away from the earth.
"I… I'm sorry... I really wish I could undo what I've done."
As soon as he said the words, Ery suddenly felt sothing changing. There was a reaction between his arm which still touched deep into the ground and the stone on Twik's chest that started to glow.
"What is going on?"
A brilliant light was ford between the two of them. It was different from the warm sunlight feeling Grand Magus Yvere's [Revival] spell gave off. Instead, this one emanated a golden and divine feeling – the foreign energy.
A flash of light entered Ery's forehead and a certain rune appeared beneath his feet while the ground around started to glow dazzlingly. All of a sudden, sothing that seed to be embedded deep within Ery's mind began to unravel itself.
Watching from a distance, Grand Magus Yvere showed a surprised expression as he realized what it was.
"Rebirth spell!"
What followed after the phenonon was the ergence of brightly glowing yellow seedlings from all twelve graves Ery had created with his own hand.
"They… they're alive!"
Ery watches the scene in front of him in disbelief.
The spell only lasted for a short while, but the mont it ended, his spirit core suddenly shut down and Ery instantly lost consciousness.
