Free Web NovelChapter 583: Saviour of Soul
Her surroundings felt warm. Warm enough to feel comfortable to continue sleeping. But Elaina didn’t want to continue sleeping. Every single detail of what happened is still fresh in her memories. If she decided to continue sleeping, didn’t that mean she was slacking off?
As much as her body and mind seemed to oppose so badly to his awakening, Elaina forced herself to do so. She needed to go to her children, rescue them, fight Selena, drive her away, and ensure she wouldn’t be causing any more trouble.
Opening her eyes, Elaina is greeted with a bright light, so bright she has to cover her eyes...only for her hand to look transparent.
"Ah!" Elaina got startled and stared at her hand in a panic. She sat up from where she was lying earlier and noticed one more thing. Not only is her hand transparent, but her body is also transparent. And she is wearing a white robe for some reason that she doesn’t remember. frёewebnoѵēl.com
"[Elaina?]"
Elaina looked around after hearing a familiar voice. "Is that you, God of Farming?"
"[Looks like you are awake...or more like...your consciousness is awake.]"
"Wait, what? What do you mean? Don’t tell me...I am already dead?!"
"[Relax, you are not yet dead...however, you are also in your deathbed and if I didn’t pull out your soul in time, you would have died without any chance of getting back your life again.]"
Elaina remembered everything that happened to her prior to waking up. She examined her chest, but she could tell there is no wound nor there is a visible scar. It’s like she didn’t get stabbed at all.
She then move her gaze on her surroundings and realized that she is no longer around the farm. It was like she is on what most people call as "paradise". The place is peaceful, the water is serene, birds are chirping and the light of the sun is warm enough that she felt that this isn’t similar to the heat back in the farm.
"Where am I, by the way? I am quite sure I am still present with the others back in my farm, but how did I end up here? And what’s with these clothes? Where is my farm clothes?"
"[Calm down, Elaina. And you don’t need to worry about your clothes, your old clothes should still be in the human world. That one you are wearing are the clothes that are automatically donned by souls. It is a clothing that doesn’t get wet, get dirty, and remains comfortable. It also protects the soul from fading away. And as for where you are, you can say that you are on a small pocket dimension, one I call the Saviour of Soul.]"
"Saviour of Soul?"
"[Most souls that get detached to their bodies for a prolonged period of time, will eventually die as their bodies would soon sever their connection to the soul that may have gone far away especially those who have not returned to their bodies for a long time. This would eventually kill the body after losing the soul, hence, you hear news about a neighbor that remained sleeping but died on their sleep. That is one of the dangers.]"
"Wait...then how many hours have I been out of my real body then?!"
"[...Relax, Elaina and please let me finish explaining first before you freak out, alright? I am not yet done talking.]"
"Ah...sorry about that."
"[Sigh...well, as I was saying, if a soul remains to be apart from the body for a long time, it is only a matter of time before the body dies in which the soul will lose the chance to even return to their body which would also stop them from even going to the afterlife as most souls will end up wandering the earth, carrying regrets and unresolved problems. Your situation right now is slightly different, Elaina. You might have been removed from your body, but your soul is still currently tethered to your normal body. Thanks to the Saviour of Soul for maintaining the connection, even when you are not inside your body, you won’t be dying.]"
"But why separate my body and soul? I know it is a fatal attack, but from the looks of it, I was immediately rescued right?"
"[You are mistaken there, Elaina. The dagger that is used to stab you is imbued with divinity that allows the user to separate and forcefully severe the soul of the target. Without me removing your soul would have caused you to die in the end without even recovering or even giving your body a fighting chance to recover. That divinity power is meant to fully kill you in the end. I only managed to avoid you from dying thanks to me, snatching your soul and placing it there for the time being.]"
Elaina was not expecting this situation. If the God of Farming didn’t intervene, she would have been dead no matter the outcome?
"Then, does my body recover slowly but surely? When will I be able to return?" Elaina asked, wondering when she will be able to come back to her body. She needed to know what happened to her children and what happened to the others.
"[Well, that’s the problem, Elaina. Thanks to the dagger used to stab you, your body is totally damaged that the moment you try to return now would cause you immediately die before even settling down to your body again. Your body has been drained with a lot vitality to the point that housing even a sliver of your soul will cause it to slip away without resistance. You might remain in a coma for years if we don’t do anything.]"
"No...no, no. I can’t accept that! My children needs me! I need to know if Julia is still alive as well! I can’t afford to stay here and let them suffer! That woman is still out there!" fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
"[Don’t worry about her, your grandparents actually managed to drive her away. She will likely try to train or enhance her powers before she plans to attack or try to beat them. Don’t underestimate the previous heroes. With their bodies returning to their prime age, they didn’t have difficulty driving her away. As for your children, they did suffer a lot of wounds, but they should be safe. They are not in immediate harm. Julia is also relatively safe during that encounter. It seems that your sister only stole the likeness of Julia before putting her to sleep in the kitchen.]"
"But then, what do you mean I will remain in coma for years? Is there a way for my body to recover the needed vitality or anything? I will do whatever it takes to do that. I can’t let my children lose their mother because of a careless accident!"
"[I know. That is why I a have a proposal for you. If you really want to do anything for your children, I hope you listen to what I am gonna offer to you.]"
