Chapter 144: Odd World

Once the spirit of Chaos, Might and Reborn said that, Helena's eyes lit up with happiness.

She then said "Yes, I want to know more. Please teach me."

"Okay." The spirit of Chaos, Might and Reborn said.

It then continued "Actually, it's a ritual that involves one using one's blood to resurrect a dead person. Through utterance of a particular incantation and using your blood, you might be able to recall back the soul of your friend. Yes, it could fail too. It's not definite. Because by doing this, you are wrestling for your friend's soul with the spirits of the Deathworld. So, if you show sign of weakness, they could snatch your soul too with that of your friends." 

Helena's eyes widened in shock. 

"Wow!" She exclaimed with astonishment in her voice. 

She then asked with curiosity in her tone "This ritual that you spoke about, what's it called?" 

"It's called the Heavenly Defiance Soul-Recalling Ritual. It's a really ancient ceremony performed by the Bartunis race from tens of billions of years ago. They performed this ritual to awaken their dead relatives and friends. But it was mostly used to awaken their dead, mightily powerful empress so she could continue to rule over them. She was the one that brought up this ritual and developed it so that the members of her race, the higher-ranking ones to be precise, would join their mystical energies together and utter the Recalling Incantation to bring her back to life so she could continue ruling over them. They also used this primitive Death Aura Expulsion technique to bring back their generals who were slain in battles weeks, months or years ago." 

"Although they tried to do this, most of them however ended up dying instead, with their souls journeying with the others who they planned to resurrect into the Deathworld to enter another cycle of reincarnation." 

When the Spirit of Chaos, Might and Reborn said that, it then continued "It's a really dangerous thing to do, Helena. That was why I said that there was technique or method for awakening your friend. It's better not knowing the technique than knowing it and using it, then end up dying. That would be disastrous to everyone and the universe at large."

Helena nodded her head. 

She then said "What you mentioned to me now is very scary, I however still want to do it. If I can't bring back my friend, then I will give up on it since this is the very last mean that I have to resurrect my friend. And if you are frightened that those Nether Spirits or whatever they are called will come for my soul too to drag it out of my body, you don't have to, since their pull on my soul to bring about my own death too wouldn't work. And I don't want you to see me as being arrogant, because that's just level of confidence I have in my abilities. I believe in the unparalleled supernatural powers that I inherently possess, which may even allow me to conquer death itself" 

The spirit of Chaos, Might and Reborn nodded it head with glee in the eyes of it towering, corporeal figure which emitted a dazzling resplendence, making it seem like it was a divine entity of light. 

It then said "Now, you are beginning to talk like a Chosen One. But if your friend didn't die, you won't believe that you have the power to chase away the engulfing, pervading aura of death that might come upon you and fully encompass your being, right?" 

It was only now that Helena could manage to break a small smile across her gloomy and unhappy face.

She then said to respond to the questions that the Spirit of Chaos, Might and Reborn asked her "Actually, I know that I have the power to resist or totally chase away the embracing coldness of death that might come upon me. I can feel that kind of power coursing deep in my being. I just didn't want to believe that I have such type of power. But now that my friend is dead, I have no choice than to use that power to fight death and bring back my friend."

"Okay" The Spirit of Chaos, Might and Reborn said with a slight nod of it head. 

It then continued "Open your mind for me. I want to transmit the method to your mind now."

Helena nodded her head when she heard that. 

Then she did as she was told. 

Immediately she did that, a ray of light shot from the body of the Spirit of Chaos, Might and Reborn towards her. 

Then when that ray of light penetrated into her mind which had formed into a being before the Spirit of Chaos, Might and Reborn, it instantly turned into a massive amount of information that made her feel like her head was greatly swelling in size. 

Then when she looked at the voluminous amount of information that had surfaced in her mind, she saw the Soul-Recalling technique mentioned by the Spirit of Chaos, Might and Reborn. Then she nodded her head. 

"You can go back to slumber now. I promise not to disturb again." Helena said with eyes that radiated bliss. 

"That's if I would answer you" The spirit of Chaos, Might and Reborn seriously said. 

It then vanished away from Helena's presence to a deeper part of her Soul Dimension where she wouldn't be able to find it. 

Since the spirit of Chaos, Might and Reborn had abruptly disappeared to leave her alone in the vast boundary of her mind, she then brought back her awareness to the world around her. 

Then with a bright smile suddenly appearing in her utterly sad face which then shocked Lydia and the rest of the girls that were looking at her, Helena said to Sylla "Sylla, brace yourself for me. I will try to bring you back now. Although there would be many forces that will try to stop us, I believe that we can do it."

Once she said that, with Lydia and the others who didn't try to stop her and curiously looked on to see what she wanted to do now, Helena knelt beside Sylla's cold and lifeless body.

She then cut one of her fingers open with a sharp fragment of Sylla's broken armor.

Immediately after she did that, she threw away that fragment of Sylla's armor and pressed blood to drop from the cut made into that finger into Sylla's mouth.

She then closed her eyes and placed that finger on Sylla's forehead. Once she did this, she began to utter the incantation that was transmitted to her memory.

"From death your soul shall return. I ask that light surfaces in the dark and lead your soul back into the world. Your soul shall be spared from journeying into the realmsphere of the dead..." 

Fifteen minutes later after she finished uttering the spell, she suddenly felt that the world around her had changed.

Then when she opened her eyes to see what had occurred, she saw that the world she was in had changed to a world she couldn't really say what it was.

At the moment, the endless stretch of sky in this world was dark red in color. Then if one observed further, one would see that there was no sun or moon or any other massive luminous objects shining down upon this region, making one ask the question that were was the light that illuminated this place really coming from. 

Then if one looked into the distance in the South direction, one would see that there was something that seemed like a shockingly massive thundercloud there. It was actually the one that caused the loud rumbles that rampantly shook the entire earth in this region that also seemed unbounded. 

Then if one looked at the earth that continually shook like a giant from far was stomping upon it, one would see that it was dark black in color, then that various types of strange, dark-shelled insects, arachnids, dark-skinned reptiles could be seen moving upon it.

Then lastly, a wide road that could seemingly fit thousands of people who stood side by side could be seen. But this road stretched for as long as the eyes could see, towards that area where that thundercloud pulsated with lightning and produced those rampant, earth-shaking thunderous booms. Then on this really wide road could be seen millions of people walking towards that area where the thundercloud was.

"Where is this place?" She asked with shock in her eyes.

Then a thought struck her in the next moment that she was no longer in the world of the living, but in the world of the spirits.

"Oh my!" She said with a tone that couldn't really be comprehended. 

"That mystical incantation actually brought me here? To the world of spirits?! That's..." 

She was speaking within herself when she suddenly saw some type of horned demonical beings who had large wings approach her with flaming whips in their hands.

"Hey, dead soul. What are you standing there doing? Now move! Or you will be mercilessly dealt with." One that seemed bigger than the others suddenly said to Helena with a harsh look in it scarred hideous face when it appeared in front of her.
