[Keltic_Spirit: Another possible favour. Seems interesting. Onto another topic, do you think the dao path or luck skills truly exist / work of actual luck or are they all predetermined by the author?

…

Theo had the Soul Scythe, Valentine, and his experience. He couldn't guarantee it, but there should be a chance.

"That depends on the condition and even if it's possible, I need to remind you that I can't guarantee it will work," Theo waved his hand down, calming Meleida down.

Meleida obviously understood it. However, she still said, "It doesn't matter. A chance is better than nothing. Please do whatever you need to do. In case it doesn't work, it's fine."

Meleida had given up on this possibility, so the Crimson Witch was as good as dead. It meant nothing if Theo failed. At the very least, he had tried. If he succeeded, it would definitely bring a great change.

The Crimson Witch was her finest subordinate as she made the country prosper. Having her back meant a lot to her and the whole kingdom.

"In that case, do you mind telling us about the 'darkness' you saw?" Theo asked.

"I understand." Meleida took a deep breath before answering, "From what I saw, the Crimson Witch had been replaced. No. Instead of 'replaced,' I think you could say that she is possessed by something.

"I'm not sure about the thing that possesses her, but I believe that her soul remains intact. You can say that it's being suppressed inside her body. I'm sure of it because I still see her unique darkness."

Theo looked down, contemplating. The situation seemed to be similar to that of Aurora's uncle.

'What do you think, Valentine?' Theo asked inwardly.

'I'm not very sure about this, Master. Are you perhaps intending to separate her soul from her body like me?' Valentine furrowed her eyebrows.

'That's also a possibility. However, I don't plan to have another familiar for the time being. Besides, it will be better if we can restore her to the way she originally was.'

'It might be possible. I've heard that you also have the Soul Scythe. Maybe you can rip her soul apart from her body and seal it inside your scythe first. Then, we'll use the Exorcism method to take the soul out of your scythe and put it inside a body, whether it's her original body or an artificial body. I'm not very familiar with this process, so there might be compatibility between the soul and body.'

'I can confirm the latter. Does that mean we have to somehow get rid of the 'thing' that possesses her?'

'I believe yes. That's the only way to return her body. If her condition is similar to mine, as long as you don't damage the brain and heart, it should be fine. We can patch other things up. In the worst case scenario, she can become half-undead… not very sure about this world's norm though.'

'Unlimited Sword, Barrier Shield, Lightning Summoning Bow, Gravity Staff, Unbreakable Wire, and Soul Scythe. I guess only the last one we can use. How about my Illusory Dream?'

'There are theories that the soul is the same as consciousness, linking directly to the brain. However, right now, I'm able to separate my soul from my body thanks to the exorcist. At the same time, I can't really function without my brain. If that's the case, Illusory Dream might be able to affect her somehow.'

Theo closed his eyes for a moment. He consulted with Valentine because she was one of the possible outcomes for the Crimson Witch.

At the same time, Theo wanted something a bit different for the outcome. That was why he couldn't really calculate the possibility.

After some thoughts, Theo asked, "Does a witch have a core of their existence, power, or something?"

Meleida was perplexed by the question, but she soon shook her head. "No. We don't have anything like that."

Theo pinched the bridge of his nose. "I can't guarantee, but I think it's possible to rescue her. I don't have a lot of confidence in restoring her to normal, but if it's just 'bringing' her back, there's a high chance of success."

"Bringing her back?"

"Yeah. Of course, alive. But I can't guarantee the form she takes when coming back."

Meleida didn't answer immediately. Theo wasn't a doctor, so he didn't have to sugarcoat his words to assure the relatives.

Meleida knew that Theo would do his best to restore her to normal, but it didn't have a high chance of success. After considering the matter carefully, Meleida nodded. "I understand. Even if it's meant I can only hear her last word or see her one last time, that's enough. Please don't take it as a huge burden."

Theo nodded his head. "Alright. I'll do my best."

Aurora looked at her teacher. After learning a lot from him, she knew that there was a discrepancy between Theo's and Meleida's low confidence.

'For Queen Meleida, low confidence means that there is less than thirty percent chance of succeeding. But if you have been with Teacher Theo for a long time, you will know that his low confidence is about 60 to 70% of success. The rest of the possibilities are up to 99%. However, I don't know why, but he always has that 1% of uncertainty even though he is certain,' Aurora thought.

She didn't know about the curse of the author. If the author wanted someone dead, even Theo couldn't change it.

Theo glanced at his students. "Luca, Lucas. You might also need to help me in this matter."

"Y-yes!" Luca and Lucas didn't expect that they would contribute to it. However, Theo wouldn't ask them if they were not capable.

It seemed that Theo knew something they didn't realize yet.

"Aurora. You can increase our chance of success if you do it correctly."

"Do it correctly?" Aurora tilted her head in confusion.

"Ask your spirit, not me." Theo shrugged. After saying some words to his students, Theo turned back to Meleida. "If it's not too much, I'd like your help as well."

"Of course. I'll give you all my support." Meleida answered without hesitation.

"In that case, please send someone that can bring a letter to my daughter and give me the reply letter."

"To your daughter?" Meleida was confused, not knowing why Theo would involve his daughter. But as long as he could do it, she wouldn't bother to question that decision.

Meleida didn't realize the real reason why Theo wanted to involve Mia.

Theo thought, 'Mia might be the key to this. I don't care which ones. But if it's not too much to ask, can you, dear readers, send a message to Mia to use her power for the condition of the Crimson Witch's restoration?

'If it works, I'd like to know about the essence consumption so that I can see the impact of the Crimson Witch in the story or the kingdom. From what I can see, the Crimson Witch is very popular because of her work, so if it doesn't work, it means the Crimson Witch might fully recover.

'To make this work, I'm not going to reply to the comments in the next chapter so that Mia's condition of getting the comment works.

'So, yeah. Let me reply to the comment first. Yes. It's a possible favor, but it's more like I'm preventing my student's trauma from getting worse. As for luck, I do believe it exists.

'But as long as I'm in a story, I don't think it exists. It's a paradox. Like if I reply to you guys, is it me replying to you or is it the author replying to you since he writes me replying to you?

'Once I break free from the story, that's where the luck truly exists for me,' Theo explained.
