Failed?
Not quite!
Because right before their eyes, Gwendolin’s fingers suddenly moved slightly.
Although the movent was subtle, neither of them were ordinary people; they noticed it instantly.
Su Ziyu could sense a faint breath of life emanating from Gwendolin’s body, very weak but gradually strengthening. However, his life force was abnormal, and no self-awareness erged, almost like an undead in the process of resurrection.
"What’s happening?"
"Did he beco an undead?" Su Ziyu couldn’t predict what would happen using the Soul Reviving Incense in this world, and although Gwendolin’s body had not decayed, it had been dead for too long, and his lower half was eaten by Eldritch. What would happen was beyond his prediction; now he could only patiently wait for Gwendolin’s body to completely absorb the Soul Reviving Incense.
Ti passed by the second.
In You’Er Xia’s gradually radiant eyes, Gwendolin’s body slowly revived, but his body rapidly shriveled into a zombie form, albeit not too severely zombified. anwhile, his self-awareness did not appear, and he lay dazedly on the ground, like a zombified vegetable.
Wait!
Why is there no soul fluctuation within Gwendolin’s body?
Su Ziyu suddenly thought of the soul he acquired at first; he took it out and took a look, imdiately feeling a tangled and devoured deformity — it was Gwendolin and Eldritch’s souls.
— "Eldritch’s Twisted Soul (Refinable): The Devourer Eldritch beca worthy of the title of Fire King by consuming people. This soul contains many impurities, among which Gwendolin’s consud soul is the most intact. Their souls are completely twisted together. Refinent can yield 3000 Energy Value. 4 points of Source Power Value can be consud to convert into a High Tier Legendary Quality Soul Crystal Stone."
Gwendolin was resurrected.
But his soul was still consud by Eldritch, and it seed that Su Ziyu only resurrected a corpse.
A completely unconscious undead.
"Brother?" You’Er Xia’s consciousness seed to recover so, and she embraced the zombified and dazed Gwendolin, her self-awareness slowly reawakening.
Finally, soone was saved.
Gwendolin turning out like this was sowhat unexpected for Su Ziyu, but there was nothing he could do, because Gwendolin’s soul was devoured by Eldritch. Who knew how to unravel this large twisted soul, and Su Ziyu had already absorbed all the divine power from it.
Su Ziyu had already done his best.
If You’Er Xia’s condition continued to deteriorate and she lost her humanity completely, turning into a zombie, he would have no choice but to kill her.
More than an hour passed like this.
Su Ziyu studied the Soul Reviving Incense ticulously. He found out that although this Legendary Artifact could truly resurrect people, it had a very high requirent: the soul of the deceased must not leave the body. If the soul was gone, even if resurrection succeeded, it would beco soulless.
In Eastern terms, it was a living dead without three souls and seven spirits.
Su Ziyu wasn’t a god, and he had no way to handle Gwendolin’s current situation. Not many in this world could solve this problem. It was now up to You’Er Xia to figure it out.
At least her brother wasn’t completely dead; the remaining half of his body had turned into an undead, and should be less likely to die again.
In fact, the Soul Reviving Incense’s effectiveness was also sowhat related to Su Ziyu extracting the Divinity Value from Eldritch’s soul. Without the divinity, Gwendolin was rely an ordinary Divine Race, with a body at best of Legendary level, just within the revival range of the Soul Reviving Incense. If he still possessed the power of the Shadow Sun’s divinity, the chance of a successful resurrection would probably be very low.
Inside the grand hall.
Taking advantage of this mont, Su Ziyu walked around the majestic palace. His injuries hadn’t fully healed, and he wasn’t in a hurry to find Sister Fried. From what the old woman said, he deduced that Sister Fried was most likely teleported back to Lothric Royal City.
This palace seed to have been uninhabited for a long ti.
Dust was everywhere, and in a side chamber, Su Ziyu saw a portrait of a woman, quite beautiful and shapely, seemingly an important mber of the Divine Race.
In a chamber with a large bed, Su Ziyu unexpectedly found an artifact.
— "Sun Princess’s Ring (High Tier Artifact): A relic said to be left behind by the Sun Princess, wearing it grants the power of the Sun Miracle, continuously restoring one’s Life Force."
The ring was under the bed in the chamber, seemingly placed there for a long ti.
"Who is the Sun Princess?"
Curious, Su Ziyu examined the ring and wore it on his finger, imdiately feeling a warm stream flow all over his body, slowly healing his injuries.
Its effect wasn’t particularly strong, but slightly more effective than High-Level Regeneration, and it continued to work as long as the artifact was worn.
When Su Ziyu ca down, You’Er Xia and the revived Gwendolin were no longer in the palace.
But they didn’t seem to have gone far.
When Su Ziyu walked out of the hall after taking a turn, he soon spotted the half-dragon girl again. She had found a chair from sowhere and was placing Gwendolin on it while standing quietly behind the chair, gazing at everything outside Yanorlund.
"Thank you." You’Er Xia seed to have regained her senses, turned her head to look at Su Ziyu, and gently bowed in gratitude.
After all, Gwendolin was resurrected.
Even if he had beco a speechless undead, he was still a ntal solace for her. As long as there was hope, she probably wouldn’t continue to zombify.
Both of them now showed certain signs of zombification.
Yet traces of their forr beauty remained barely visible. Standing together, You’Er Xia and Gwendolin didn’t resemble siblings, but rather a bit like sisters. Their relationship must have been excellent; otherwise, You’Er Xia wouldn’t have lost her humanity because of Gwendolin’s death.
Perhaps to her, Gwendolin was both brother and sister.
"What do you plan to do next?" Su Ziyu asked after so thought.
You’Er Xia glanced at the dazed expression on Gwendolin, considered for a while, and softly said: "Yanorlund is no longer suitable for us..."
"I might take my brother to Airelde’s Painting World..."
"There are still so knights loyal to the Divine Race."
