Traveler of the River of Time and Space-Chapter 441 - 45: Eldritch, Devourer of Gods (Part 3)
Su Ziyu felt a bit of agitation in his heart. He withdrew his longsword from You’Er Xia’s neck, glanced at Gwendolin’s corpse with a frown, and then said in a deep voice, "I can try to see if I can bring your brother back to life!..."
"Although it may not necessarily succeed!..."
"But you have to remember, you still owe me a huge favor!... You can’t just directly turn into a zombie!..."
"I’m still counting on you to help me deal with the Painting World..."
He finally had hope of completing the second main task, but in the blink of an eye, damn it, there’s not even one living person left.
FUCK!
A faint, peculiar fragrance emerged.
You’Er Xia’s expression slightly changed after hearing Su Ziyu’s words, but before she could make a move, this half-dragon girl was directly pushed away by Su Ziyu. He then carefully took out a special sealed box. There was a simple seal on the box, although it wasn’t yet opened, a strange fragrance inside was already gradually spreading.
—"Soul Reviving Incense [Legendary Artifact]!"
This was the reward given to Su Ziyu by Yama after defeating Orochi in the Night Parade of Hundred Demons World. Inside the box, there were three portions; he saved one for Pasha, and the other two were here. Su Ziyu hadn’t used it yet, so he took out a piece to test if it really works, whether it can truly be used for resurrection.
"Hope it works..." Su Ziyu cautiously placed the Soul Reviving Incense under Gwendolin’s nose.
His body had not decayed, apart from the part that was eaten, the other parts were well preserved, just looking a bit pale.
Now he could only try anything in a desperate situation.
The souls in this world are special, maybe they can really be revived.
If it succeeds, You’Er Xia would owe him a tremendous favor; if it fails, he would kill the zombified You’Er Xia.
This world is truly beyond saving.
A perfectly good living person, in the blink of an eye, is about to become a zombie.
A thread of spark emerged.
In Su Ziyu’s line of sight, the Soul Reviving Incense was ignited, strands of pale purple mist gradually appeared and slowly flowed into Gwendolin’s nose.
Seems effective?
No!
Su Ziyu quickly realized something was amiss; that is, Gwendolin’s body was visibly shriveling at a rapid pace. His body was initially well preserved but started showing traits of zombification after inhaling the Soul Reviving Incense.
Did it fail?
No! 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
Su Ziyu could sense a faint aura of life emerging from Gwendolin’s corpse, very weak but increasing. However, no consciousness emerged, like a revived undead.
"What’s going on?"
"Has he turned into an undead?" Su Ziyu couldn’t predict what using the Soul Reviving Incense would do in this world, and although Gwendolin’s body hadn’t decayed, he had been dead for so long; his lower half was even eaten by Eldritch. Now he could only patiently wait for Gwendolin’s body to fully absorb the Soul Reviving Incense.
Time ticked away bit by bit.
In You’Er Xia’s gradually sparkling eyes, Gwendolin’s corpse slowly revived, but the body shriveled promptly, turning into a zombie. Although the zombification wasn’t too severe, his self-awareness didn’t appear; the whole person lay dumbly on the ground like a zombified vegetative.
Wait!
Why can’t his soul be sensed within Gwendolin’s body?
Su Ziyu suddenly recalled the soul he obtained initially and took it out for a look. Instantly he felt a twisted entity, entangled and devoured, that was the soul of Gwendolin and Eldritch.
Gwendolin had been resurrected.
But his soul was still eaten by Eldritch, Su Ziyu seemed to have merely revived a corpse.
A completely unconscious undead.
"Brother?" You’Er Xia’s mind seemed to recover quite a bit; she looked at Gwendolin’s zombified, expressionless form in front of her, suddenly reaching out to embrace him, her self-awareness slowly reviving too.
