Chapter 10: Healing The Empress
After the light around her faded, her fully healed body came into my view.
She was beautiful.
(Host, stop drooling at her body and look at her soul’s condition.)
"Hey, I wasn’t drooling over her body, and I can see her condition. Jokes aside, do you think I could use my Devour and Synthesis to heal her soul?"
(Yes... you could do that, but it will be very dangerous. You will be basically taking the remnants of her soul, which are scattered around this realm, and putting them together like a puzzle. You will see her memories and could lose yourself in them.)
"Wow, no pressure, huh?"
I walked toward her, took out a mattress from my inventory, gently laid her down, and immediately started scanning her soul fragments scattered throughout the realm.
The fragments were everywhere. Tiny, scattered echoes of what was once a fierce and indomitable soul. Each fragment carried her memories, her emotions, and her knowledge. It was what made her whole.
I placed my hand on her chest.
I saw her soul. It was badly fractured and just barely stable, thanks to the elixir.
"Pixia," I whispered, but her voice was already serious. Different from her usual self.
