Krune looked at Olave and Valindra and said.
”It is as I told Olave in the past. My Purple Flame Pills are very tyrannical, so if you decide to step back, now is the time to do it. If you choose to go ahead, then make sure that enough Spiritual Energy is provided.”
Olave looked at the Pill and at his daughter Soul. It was then that he remembered that all of Jolk's Pills had a Purple Flame once you injected some Spiritual Energy. He tried it out, and sure enough, an ethereal Purple Flame that didn't cause any harm appeared.
Olave and Valindra looked at each other and exchanged a few words through Divine Sense. In the end, both nodded at each other.
”Alright, we will go ahead.”
Krune smiled, hearing that.
”Just approach the Pill to the Soul and use your Spiritual Energy to melt it. Because of the Life Dew of the Death Tree, the Soul will immediately start absorbing it. From then onwards, it is up to your daughter's luck.”
Olave did as Krune said and began to melt the Pill. Right after, the weak Soul felt the presence of the Life Dew and started to absorb it. Olave
prepared everything and even brought out thousands of Spirit Stones that filled the ground around him.
While the Soul absorbed the medicinal liquid, Feifei decided to ask Krune through a Divine Sense.
”Don't your Purple Flame Pills usually have some extra effect?”
Krune nodded.
”Yes, but this time, it seems like it is not related to the effects after being swallowed.”
Feifei was puzzled at first, but then she remembered what Krune told her about the Life Dew Pill.
”I see, this Pill is supposed to be consumed as fast as possible, or its properties will disappear. Could it be that the side effect this time is related to it?”
Krune smiled at Feifei after hearing that.
”Precisely. Check it out with your Divine Sense.”
Krune brought out the last bottle with Life Dew Pill and gave it to Feifei.
She then user her Divine Sense to feel the Pill itself. Sure enough, the leaking of Life Energy that was supposed to be happening was nowhere to be found.
”Doesn't that mean that you can make Life Dew Pills that last forever? Just how much would it be able to de sold for if others find about it?”
Krune shrugged his shoulders.
”Who knows? Anyway, we would need the help of Divinity Realm cultivators and demon beasts to be able to get Life Dewdrops in the Underworld. So it is not very realistic to want to sell it. I will just keep this one for an emergency.”
Feifei had to admit that Krune was right. No Divinity Realm would pay much attention to the money that a Golden Stars Pill could make. Of course, unless they are also in a situation similar to Olave and Valindra.
”What is happening?!”
Krune sighed.
”I told you, didn't I? My Purple Flame Pills are just like that. Her Soul is too weak, so she is struggling to deal with the Medicinal Properties. Look at the Spiritual Energy coming out of the Spirit Stones, it is being crazily absorbed. I reckon that if she can hold for at least a minute, the most dangerous part will be over.”
Both Olave and Valindra got nervous and looked at their daughter's Soul. Krune had mentioned about this risk several times, so they couldn't really complain about it.
Every second was like an eternity for the couple, but the Soul resited. Finally, the first minute that Krune talked about passed. By now, Olave and Valindra could see that the struggle that the Soul was passing through lessened. Krune saw that as well and smiled.
”The recovery already started. If she didn't disappear until now, then she probably won't anymore.”
Olave and Valindra let out a sigh of relief and kept waiting.
Sure enough, they could finally sense with their Divine Senses that he deteriorated state of the Soul was disappearing. It quickly began to grow in size as well. Eventually, the speed which it was absorbing the Spiritual Energy started to reduce until it stopped altogether.
Suddenly, that mass of soul energy started to change, and it took the form of a girl who seemed to be in her teens. Krune and Feifei immediately understood that that was how that couple's daughter looked like before she died. Of course, they know better that it was only her appearance. Her real age was probably several times higher than that.
”W-Where... am I?”
Valindra started to cry.
”Maelyrra, it's me, your mother. Can you remember me?”
Maelyrra Merfil was her name. She looked at her parents and felt like the world around was spinning. She couldn't make heads and toes of what was happening.
But after a few minutes, her Soul began to stabilize, and her memories got clearer.
”Ah! I.. my heart was pierced through by that Saber. I was supposed to be dead, what is happening?”
