Chapter 130: Healing Sorrowful and Pained Souls...

-----

Kamei and Frank glanced at the Souls of their parents, as the lifeless eyes of the souls seemed to regain some light.

Frank's presence seemed akin to death, something that they were now awfully familiar with.

The moment Frank began to unleash his Death Aura, the Souls felt naturally attracted to him, moving around.

And then, as they noticed his face and that of Kamei, they slowly began to regain some of their conscience, breaking through the strange world they were in.

"Eh…? Where… Where am I?" wondered Amelia, Frank and Kamei's mother.

"Mother? Are you there?" asked Frank.

"Mommy!" cried Kamei.

"I… Ah… It… Ungh…! It hurts…! Ahhhh…!" cried Amelia, as she suddenly began to remember the pain.

"Mother, stay with us, remember our faces, remember who you are, Amelia! Your name is Amelia!" said Frank.

"Ah! F-Frank… my little… my little boy… I… Of course… I would never forget who you are… Kamei… my little angel… Ahh… It all feels so dizzy… Am I… dreaming?" wondered Amelia.

"You're not dreaming mom…" said Frank.

"I'm… I'm sorry…" cried Kamei.

"My little angel, why are you crying?" asked Amelia, approaching her daughter and extending her arms, only to see them pass through her daughter.

"A-Ah? W-Wha…" muttered Amelia, seemingly in shock and confusion.

Frank gnashed his teeth, as Amelia noticed his fists clenching in frustration.

"Frank…? What… What has happened with your hair? Did you dye it? And your eye seems oddly red… Did you get an infection?" asked Amelia.

"…No, mother, I am fine, I just… It is like you said, I just dyed my hair… sorry for not asking you beforehand," said Frank.

"O-Oh… Well, that's how young boys are I guess…" said Amelia, as she slowly realized that she wasn't dreaming, her body was no longer here, and she was now a weightless ethereal body.

She then noticed Okita, who was still struggling to comprehend things.

Unlike her, Okita seemed to have an even more painful death, making his soul appearance resemble a body that was constantly melting.

"Aaahh… Agh! Aghhhgh…! Ka… Kamei-chan…" muttered Okita, flying towards Kamei.

Okita's appearance was even worse than Amelia's, akin to monstrous, even Kamei could not help but feel a bit frightful while seeing her father in such a condition.

"Daddy… I love you!" said Kamei, crying as she tried to hug her father, her hands passing through his ethereal body, she hugged herself, but still kept near Okita.

"Ah… Kamei-chan… Uuughh… Gaaaaghhh…! Kamei-chan… Frank… Frank…" muttered Okita, glancing at Frank with his deformed eyes.

"F-Father…" muttered Frank.

"Frank… Why… Aaggh… Why… Am… I… Uuhughhh…! Like…. Thisss?" asked Okita, struggling to generate words that could be heard.

"I… Everything happened because of my weakness because I wasn't prepared because I wasn't able to prepare… I thought I was being cautious, I thought that the Clan would have helped us and protected us as they said… But it seems that Earth is just filled with beings whose power can even ignore what we think is safe…" muttered Frank, although Amelia and Okita could not understand what he meant, Kamei seemingly understood a bit more, recalling what her brother said about having joined some kind of Clan in Earth.

"Mommy… daddy…" cried Kamei.

Amelia and Okita's minds were slowly settling, seemingly acquiring a bit of stability.

Although they did not understood much of what Frank meant, they had already assumed that if this wasn't a dream, and that if they didn't have anybody, that this was most likely death, of some sort.

Something within them was telling them, something deep within their very souls was making them realize that they were no longer living… and that they were not dreaming either.

This was reality.

The memories of their death were still fresh.

They just had to connect the dots and then, they finally realized it.

"We died…" muttered Amelia.

"Agghh… Dead… Amelia-chan… S-Sorry… I… weak…" muttered Okita, his eyes seemingly crying, although no tears flowed, his own soul shaped itself was tears.

"Okita… Don't worry…" muttered Amelia, giving Okita a bitter smile, as she hugged him.

Although they were both ethereal, it seems that they were able to touch each other a bit, compared to those that were physical.

Okita felt Amelia's hands as both hugged, crying.

"I… I will make sure to revive you…" muttered Frank.

"I-I am with onii-sama too! We will… find a way!" said Kamei.

"Ahh… There is so much that we do not know… But I am so glad that you two are alive…" said Amelia.

"Live… Happy… Uughh…" muttered Okita.

"Come, I believe that you should be able to come to this world with us," said Frank.

"World…?" asked Amelia.

"Geehh…?" asked Okita.

"Well… Let's explain everything very slowly then…" said Frank, smiling bitterly alongside Kamei.

Both Amelia and Okita souls were taken out of Frank's shadow, as they didn't seem to be affected by the world or anything of the sort, Frank wondered if they were affected by his System somehow, or perhaps by being feed with his Mana, something else made their otherworldly souls not be suppressed by this world's laws.

Nonetheless, he was happy that no difficulties were experienced in that regard, as he, Kamei, and the newly introduced Orb and Nezhit explained things to Amelia and Okita as slow and detailed as possible.

As they were now dead, their minds were all over the place, and without a brain to sort their thoughts, it was very hard for them to keep focus, even when Frank feed them with Mana regularly.

After what seemed to be around four hours of explanations, it seems that Amelia and Okita got a general idea of the entire situation… Or so, Frank and Kamei hoped.

"This is why I… Well, we do not want to revive you into the bodies of monsters or as Undead… It would not feel right… You are our parents after all… We do not want you to be turned into a monster or a strange Undead being… We want you to be alive and to regain your former happiness," said Frank.

"Maybe… are we being too selfish?" wondered Kamei.

Reviving the Death was not a concept known in Terra, and not even in Earth.

Although Undead and Necromancer existed on Earth, it was unknown to Frank if there was anyone with the ability to generate a new living body for souls to be reborn, and even more, if those bodies could be similar to their former selves.

Although there was the possibility of retrieving the corpses of their parents, they might already be rotting away, and it would be too hard to maintain them without any sort of special magic other than Frank's Inventory.

And even then, if Frank were to revive Amelia and Okita into their original bodies, they would become Zombies, not Living people. He didn't have any other way of reviving people that it wasn't turning them into Undead… and he and Kamei didn't want this.

He knew that turning them into Undead might bring even more changes to their minds and thoughts and that they might even become monstrous and inhumane, something that they did not want.

They did not want to lose their parents completely, they wanted to revive them into living bodies resembling their original ones, if possible.

But even then, just killing some random people and using their corpses would not work, and there was already the issue of reviving someone without making them just Undead.

Frank's Gift of Life Skill was certainly strong, but it was not able to regenerate lost limbs, bones, nor organs, even less would it be capable of reviving someone.

"However… I have met Gods. Gods of this world, such beings even created this entire world… I believe that… there might be a way if I ask them… Even if it might sound bold from someone that comes from another world… I have to try…" said Frank.

"Oh right… that Chimera God you talked about… and there was also the Goddess of Chaos and those of Time and Space! Were they all friendly? Then maybe…!" said Kamei, light coming back to her eyes.

Amelia and Okita heard the words from their children with mild smiles, although they wanted to tell them that there was not any need for them to go to such lengths, they did not want to make their efforts useless…

Perhaps, if this could give them some happiness, they would let them try it…

And deep inside, they could not deny that they wanted the same…

"Thing is… I don't know how to contact them, usually, Abraddon would call me through my Dreams, but I can't really call him- Wait, maybe if I pray to him?" wondered Frank.

"Pray? Oh right… as he's a god and everything… make sense…! I think…" said Kamei.

"Orb, what's the hour?" asked Frank.

"A-Ah! It is… five pm, I believe… Master, the sun is slowly beginning to set in the horizon…" said Orb.

"Maybe we should finally go back to Gwendolyn's place… After all, I am connected to those people through this System, and if they die, I might die too… We have to go back there and tell them everything… All of the truth about us, and well… I will introduce all of you as well," said Frank, glancing at Kamei, Amelia, Okita, Nezhit, Ruby, and Zhulong.

"Ah well Ruby was already introduced…" said Frank.

"Grawr!" said Ruby.

"Roar…" said Zhulong.

"Oh my, so adorable…" said Amelia, gently trying to pet Ruby and Zhulong.

"Dragon…?" asked Okita.

"Y-Yeah, they came as gifts from part of my abilities… They're my loyal companions," said Frank.

"M-My lord…" muttered Nezhit.

"Oh right, Nezhit too, he is my guardian," said Frank.

"Thank you for taking care of my son…" said Amelia.

"Thanks…" said Okita.

"It is a pleasure to meet all of my lord's family, I will gladly serve my lords as well," said Nezhit.

"Hey, me too!" said Hades.

"They can't see you, and I don't think they would be happy to know you if I were to tell them that you literally killed me…" said Frank.

"O-Oh…" muttered Hades.
