BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1046: A Risky Solution
Although Erika was good at Alchemy, she was not quite good at investigating and researching materials and how they worked. Elizabeth was also okay at Alchemy but suffered a similar problem to Erika. Nonetheless, their help was still crucial due to their innate abilities to purify demonic energy.
I showed them the two types of Spirit Orbs obtained, and Eric and Alberta analyzed them quite thoroughly.
"I see, so these are the orbs you talked about… Majin and Nephalem energies, they just feel like a new type of synthetized Spirit energy, but also it has demonic energy? But purified? How odd…" Eric smiled.
"It is really amazing, outside of this research, I wonder if we could try doing this with other spirit orbs too," said Alberta.
"Perhaps for later," I nodded. "But for now, we must try new combinations and to further purify these orbs. Elizabeth, Erika, I\'ll be hoping for your help again."
"Of course, you don\'t even need to mention it," said Erika, nodding. "Even if it takes a whole damn week, let\'s do it!"
"I agree with Erika\'s words, let\'s get this done with," Elizabeth nodded, her hands overflowing with light. "If you need my help, just ask."
"Thank you," I said. "Rainbow Star"
I summoned Rainbow Star, my secondary, spiritual body, as we started our research.
We tried many types of combinations, purification methods, materials, and spiritual abilities.
Without realizing it, days after days passed, one after another, it ended becoming more extensive of research than we ever imagined.
Across the many days, we found quite a few new discoveries.
The first one was that these two types of orbs were a "final result" and no matter what we did, they couldn\'t be further purified or changed besides their original appearance.
The second thing we discovered was that if too much purification is done, the spirit orbs shatter, so we needed to be careful.
The third thing we discovered in the fourth day was that with a big enough and set up Spiritual Formation, it was possible to do the same with living beings without hurting them.
We used several test subjects, mostly monsters caught outside, who had their spirit orbs contaminated and infested with demonic energy.
After a couple of failures… some survived, and we perfected the formation until it always resulted on perfect success.
Then, we moved to improving the method of purification of these two spirit orb types, the Majin-type, and the Nephalem-type.
Over the week, we constantly attempted to make it so the spirit orbs could produce spirit energy in enough quantities to give it a possibility to the elves to revive their spirits.
However, because we only had test subjects as monster spirit orbs, we couldn\'t completely confirm what could happen.
Nonetheless, we managed to perfect the purification method with the same Spiritual Formation, which I personally engraved into a large stone tablet.
Once the week came to an end, our hard work had paid good results, but I wish I could have had more time.
Unfortunately, we didn\'t have more time, we had to begin our liberation of the continent tomorrow, and to possibly slay the evil dragon Fafnir within a week.
If not, the continent would become completely covered on Miasma and his Flames, and the Yggdrasil Tree, which had become his burning nest, would die.
Its divine soul was powerful, and its core and roots were very resilient, but it was on its last straws.
A week and a half at most, before the Deity of the Elves, the Divine Spirit Tree Yggdrasil… dies.
If Yggdrasil dies, this continent\'s spiritual forests and flora and fauna will never fully recover, and it will become a burning, volcanic wasteland.
We can\'t waste more time.
"Are you sure that this is enough?" Eric wondered. "We could still improve it a bit more!"
"This is more than enough, Eric, we\'re in a hurry," I said. "The people need to be given hope, this will give them hope. And once they regain their hope, they\'ll stay."
"But why can\'t we just delay it and let them go to the human continent for refuge?" wondered Alberta.
"Well…" I sighed. "The Holy Spirits had spoken to me three days ago through a dream, they told me that Yggdrasil required the presence of elves in the continent to keep its vitality. Many elves had died, weakening the tree, but even then, there were still many. As long as these people remain here… Yggdrasil won\'t day too soon.
If we can manage to let people regain hope and faith, and to stay, then we can delay their death until we slay Fafnir and we stop his army."
"T-That\'s… I didn\'t know Yggdrasil worked like that," Eric said.
"Me neither! But I guess that\'s how Deities work?" Erika wondered.
"Yes, only the Holy Spirits can exist without needing Faith and Hope from their believers, although they can still grow stronger from it," I explained. "Other Deities, which I call "Naturally Born Deities", require the Faith, Hope, and Love of their believers to continue their existences.
Yggdrasil is immensely ancient, it has lived with the elves since ancient times, once protected by the Divine Dragons of Nature, the Spirit Tribes of the Dryad, and the Fairies… Yet now only the Elves remain. It was once much more powerful than now because of that."
"I see…" Erika nodded, sighing.
"Then let\'s not waste more time," Elizabeth nodded. "Let\'s do this, shall we try the Formation with someone here first?"
"Yeah, in fact, we already have a volunteer," I smiled.
"Who?" wondered Alberta.
"Who else? Elfriedden\'s beloved came to me yesterday," I laughed, as we stepped inside of their room.
There, Rosenheim smiled, greeting me.
"Blake? Why have you entered out of the sudden?!" wondered Elfriedden, who was tending her needs by peeling apples for her.
"Rosenheim, it\'s done," I said. "It\'s as perfected as we could make it within the given time… Your promise, will you keep it?"
"Yes," she nodded. "Please use me as your first test subject."

"WHAT?!"
Elfriedden was losing his mind.
