The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess

At that moment, I quickly suppressed my surprise, and a faint smile appeared on my face amidst my tears.

"Huh? What nonsense are you spouting? Even the highest god cannot resurrect a god, let alone you, who is just a child who is half human and half god..."

Upon hearing this, the goddess Lanis's face showed even greater surprise.

It was precisely because this was impossible that she was so surprised, especially since she was the one who brought me from that world and reincarnated me.

She certainly knows best what resurrection is all about.

"There's no time to lose. Before Herilia's soul completely dissipates, let's hurry and bring her back!"

Without saying a word, I summoned my Alice Staff and forcefully slammed it into the ground.

"O great world-destroying witch Alice, I summon you in the name of the Lord of the Contract. Please appear before your host in your true form."

At this moment, I chanted the first spell of the forbidden magic law, and then gathered light magic in my hands and aimed it at the magic core gem of Alice's Staff.

A red light flashed past our eyes like a flame, and then a witch's ghost, exactly the same as the witch named Alice I had seen in the Witch's Forest, appeared in front of me.

"This is... the spirit of a witch? And a witch, also known as a witch."

Upon seeing this, the goddess Lanis seemed somewhat surprised, perhaps because she was taken aback by the incredible artifact. Moreover, the so-called witch's spirit was not easy to find.

However, what follows is the most crucial step... Next, I need to check whether the witch spirit Alice I have contracted is just an empty shell, a bare witch spirit, or a real witch spirit.

If it's just an empty shell, then things will be much easier; we can simply imbue it with the soul of the goddess Herria.

If it is a spirit in a physical body, then it will take a long time to drive out Alice's remnant soul, and then merge it with the goddess Herylia.

However, this is rather cruel to the spirit of Alice the Witch.

Finally... there are physical spirits, which are actually the most difficult to deal with... If they are truly physical spirits, then the witch can directly manifest and materialize them, making it impossible for the goddess Herelia's soul to transfer into them.

In other words, the success rate of all of this is about two-thirds.

However, this world-destroying witch named Alice was like an empty shell from beginning to end, only ever smiling slightly and never saying a word.

If I'm not mistaken, it's more likely to be an empty shell or a raw, unadorned witch's spirit.

If she were a real, physical witch spirit, she would be like an elf, talking incessantly at any time, so it wouldn't be necessary to use forbidden magic to summon her now.

"In that case..."

There's no time to lose, because the longer it drags on, the lower the success rate of the fusion and the lower the chance of recovering memories.

That's right, the soul of the goddess Herilia is currently dissipating, and even sealing it in a bottle cannot stop its consumption.

If this continues, the soul will completely dissipate within about a day.

At that moment, I quickly picked up Alice's Staff and, following the forbidden magic laws, gently waved it three times with the power of light on Alice's materialized spirit.

It will take about a minute to show exactly what it looks like.

At this moment, countless red dots of light began to slowly fly from her body to the top of her head, and then a core appeared in front of us.

However, what I saw next was something about the size of a small wooden fingernail, like a water droplet, stuck to the core.

"Is this the spirit of the Unseen Witch?"

However, this is somewhat strange, because if it's the undead soul of a witch, then the amount is really too small.

No wonder the one I summoned now seems dazed. She can only roughly understand what I say and smile. In reality, her soul had already dissipated into chaos after her death.

Now, this witch Alice's ghost is nothing more than a remnant of her soul, which sustained her for so many years.

Indeed, she is quite a persevering witch.

However, this is just right; it seems that the goddess Herilia is saved.

I'm in an exceptionally good mood right now because I can finally see her again.

Since that's the case, the second part of the magic spell will begin. That's right, since it's only a small part, I only need to release her soul.

At that moment, I closed my eyes and chanted a spell that I didn't understand at all.

Since the incantations for sending away souls are all reduplicated words and their meanings are unknown, I can only recite them according to the intonation.

Although the forbidden laws of magic have appeared outside, the incantation has already been engraved in my mind.

Therefore, I don't need to use my eyes to sing it directly.

"The Heavenly Sound of Returning Souls!"

Finally, the moment the final incantation was finished, golden musical notes suddenly appeared on my Alice Staff, enveloping the last remaining fragment of my soul.

Then they lifted it up.

In fact, another soul appeared on the already materialized witch Alice. She smiled at me again, as if to thank me, and then, like a golden firework, the soul exploded right in front of us.

As expected, the forbidden magic law allows any magic appearing on it, even if it's not my attribute, to be released.

Just like this spell, although it looks somewhat like light magic, it actually resembles dark magic, and it doesn't even belong to any attribute...

"Alright, now let's infuse Herilia's soul into this witch's empty shell, and then she can be resurrected!"

Seriously, the feeling of getting something back is just wonderful.

If I could really resurrect the goddess Herilia, I can't even begin to describe how happy I would be.

Just as I was about to chant the incantation and prepare for the final step of the magic, the goddess Lanis suddenly grabbed my arm, as if trying to stop me.

Chapter Nineteen: The resurrection magic almost cost me my life.

"Ivy, stop right now."

At this moment, the goddess Lanis frowned deeply and looked at me with a serious gaze.

"Uh... Sister Lanis, what are you doing? I'm about to revive Sister Herrelia."

Honestly, what I don't understand is why she would stop me when success was so close.

“No, that’s not it… Even I can’t understand the principles behind the forbidden magic laws. The reason they’re called forbidden is because the magic within them doesn’t conform to the laws of this world. Although the magic that reduces lifespan is no longer useful to you, this magic that resurrects Herria is also something I can’t quite figure out. So I’m afraid that if you use it, you’ll hurt yourself. If it’s a matter of trading your life for another, then it’s not worth it.”

It's clear that Goddess Lanis is very worried about me, afraid that something might happen to me and I would let down Goddess Herylia's good intentions.

Although they can start over, the huge price they paid will certainly leave them feeling resentful.

However, since I have the opportunity to revive the goddess Herria, I will naturally not give in.

"Don't stop me, my mind is made up. This time, I will definitely bring Herilia back to life and bring her to our side!"

Now that things have come to this point, I absolutely cannot give up easily, because everyone knows I am a stubborn person.

"Alright, in that case, I'll stay by your side and watch. If your body can't hold on, I really will stop you."

It's clear that Goddess Lanis can't stop me with words, and since I'm now in the body of a demigod, as long as I have even the slightest desire not to leave her parallel world, she absolutely cannot let me go.

If I were forcibly removed from here, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Therefore, Herylia, you should hurry back to my side. Although we have fulfilled one of your wishes, you must have more wishes, right?

At that moment, I closed my eyes, raised the Alice Staff high in my hand, and began to gather my own magic power.

Soon, I could feel my body getting warm, and it seemed that this was the perfect time to chant the resurrection spell.

"Great God of all spirits, hear my call, appear before me!"

Then a powerful light burst forth directly from my Alice Staff, and the empty Alice entity also emitted a golden beam of light.

"Great God of All Spirits, I know you possess immense power, capable of reviving the dead. I have used the body of a superior witch as a vessel. Please use your great power to bring my beloved back here. Sound-Shifting Star Wheel Style: Destiny-Transforming Heavenly Radiance!"

With that, I aimed at Alice's empty, materialized body and forcefully swung the Alice Staff, which was now radiating golden light, down onto the ground.

In an instant, I seemed to hear the sound of the ground cracking open, followed by countless musical notes and stardust dancing in the air, gradually illuminating the parallel world of the goddess Lanis.

At this moment, the soul of the goddess Herilia, who had been temporarily sealed by the glass bottle, began to stir. In the end, she broke through the seal and merged directly into the myriad musical notes and stardust.

Immediately afterwards, Alice's empty, materialized body began to appear in magic circles, one, two, three, then five, ten.

Of course, each magic circle that appeared consumed a significant amount of my magic power.

Then, my eyes could no longer keep up with the speed of the magic circles, because twenty, thirty, and fifty magic circles began to appear on her body.

"puff……"

A wave of nausea surged up my throat, followed by a mouthful of blood gushing from my mouth.

Sure enough, the more numerous and denser these magic circles became, the more my magic power was being drained. If this continued... I'm afraid I'll be drained of my magic power prematurely.

Left with no other choice, I opened the magic potion that Wenya had given me at my waist and drank it all in one gulp.

I never expected this potion would come in handy at this time... but it's worth it.

Then, there were basically thousands of magic circles stacked up densely, and my magic power was still being consumed.

Soon, I finished the second and third bottles of magic potions... but it still wasn't enough.

What should I do? If this continues, Miss Herilia might not be able to save me, and I might even run out of magic and die prematurely... and that kind of death would be extremely painful...

"Sigh, really, I knew you were being too reckless."

Just as I was starting to panic, the goddess Lanis appeared directly behind me, raised her palm, and began channeling magic into my heart.

"Feel sorry……"

I quickly apologized.
