Chapter 242: Guild Registration Complete!
-----
After a few hours of paperwork and more, Frank finally managed to get a registered guild license, it cost around 120 Gold Coins though, and it also needed him to complete several papers.
The man that helped him do everything was thankfully an acquittance with Adrian, so everything went quite smoothly, nonetheless.
In the end, he also had to register more people to make it an "official" guild, so he chose the talented people from the Acacia Town inside of his Divine Realm for the task, which he had been preparing as much as he could for this occasion, all of them were at a minimum of Rank 2, so it all went quite well.
Frank had considered naming the Guild Monarchs of Unity such as their party name… but that might have been way too exaggerated, so they ended up naming it "Accursed Family"… although that also sounded quite edgy, it made sense seeing how Frank had the power to control the dead and had many of such subordinates.
Although such powers were kept hidden, and Frank only showed his Dark Attribute Spells, without revealing that he could indeed wield many attributes.
As the group walked back home, Frank gathered a lot of new Dead Spirits, and had also sent back the spies to their respective bosses after having brainwashed them and enslaved them, telling them to pretend to have found out clues, which were of course false.
The Dead Spirits were mostly of random dead people, sometimes they would be able to say something interesting that could be of some use, and other times they simply groaned in agony or screamed in horror.
Frank, who pitied these souls, decided to heal them back inside of his shadows, while the soul of Henrietta saw him do such good acts of benevolence.
"My lord, you\'re such a good person! Helping these… strangers! …Anyways, do not you want me to tell you more about my parents? My father or my mother! I want to speak! P-Please, I want to speak or do something… being dead is rather boring…" sighed Henrietta.
"You can always speak with everyone else, you don\'t have to just speak to me, Henrietta," said Frank rather expressionlessly.
"B-But you are my lord! A-Anyways, my father\'s name is Andrew Eastgrande, he is very nice and always treats me nice! And he likes to eat sweets sometimes… a-and… Eh? What was I talking about?" asked Henrietta, as a Dead Spirit, she had very unstable memories due to lacking a brain or having a phantom body through converting herself into an Undead, so she often forgot things or blanked out.
…This is why Frank usually let her rest, although he was planning on turning her into some kind of Undead, he wanted to heal her soul a bit more from her traumas through Soul Therapy, a Death Attribute Spell that slowly healed souls filled with negative emotions, the main spell he used to heal the souls of the people who had died traumatically or that harbored too many negative emotions.
"You were talking about your father, Henrietta," said Frank with a gentle smile.
"O-Oh! Yeah, my daddy! He must miss me! I died after so many days… I wonder how he is…" said Henrietta.
"You could go meet him if you want, you know where he lives, right?" asked Frank.
"Yeah! I could go! In fact, I will!" said Henrietta, flying away.
When Frank finally reached Yurei and went to rest over a couch while Gwendolyn and everyone else prepared things for dinner, Henrietta suddenly came back crying.
"Sniff… My lord… My father doesn\'t recognize me… Sniff…" she said.
"Henrietta…" said Frank.
"He didn\'t saw me… sniff… No matter how much I screamed at him, no matter how much I tried to call for him… Sniff… I even moved something for him but… Sniff… he thought it was a ghost… I am not a ghost…" cried Henrietta.
"Sigh… I should not have let you go then… Well, Henrietta, you are dead. Normal people in Terra can\'t see the Dead Spirits," said Frank.
"But the why can you see me and speak so much with me my lord?" asked Henrietta.
"W-Well… I am not normal," said Frank.
"Will you help me speak with my father one day, my lord?" asked Henrietta.
"…Sure thing. Whenever the opportunity arises, I can help you, I don\'t really mind, and it doesn\'t really cost me anything. But make sure to rest for now, alright? Your soul is still rather weak, come here," said Frank, inviting Henrietta to his arms.
Henrietta gently moved to Frank\'s arms as he began to pet the crying young lady.
"There, there… Don\'t worry, everything will be okay," said Frank.
"Sniff… Thank you, my lord… You are the only person that has shown me such kindness that wasn\'t my father… Sniff…" cried Henrietta.
Frank used Soul Therapy on Henrietta\'s soul while comforting her until she relaxed and fell into an induced sleep, where he gently put her inside of his Shadow.
As everyone prepared food, Frank kept doing this with every other Dead Spirit that he found, spending his mana, and putting effort into helping them.
Frank did not know why he was doing this so much, even when Hades told him that this was because he fused his soul with him, it felt different for him, it was as if this feeling of wanting to help the souls of the fallen was something that surged from the depths of his inner self.
It filled him with a small feeling of fulfillment, and each time he helped them, he also felt like his powers began to slowly evolve.
Although he was doing this out of pure goodwill, he was also feeling like he was grasping something within these actions, an inner meaning that he had not thought could be attained before.
"Phew…"
Frank sighed as he cleaned the sweat off his forehead, only around an hour has gone by but he had healed over 30 souls and put them to sleep to recover faster… it was arduous work, but it made him feel like it helped him develop his Death Attribute Magic.
Alongside that, he could, later on, ask for help to these souls, which could become Skeletons summoned by his Boneyard Skill, Golems, or fuel his Death Attribute Magic Spells.
For some reason he felt stronger with each soul he helped, as he created a soul connection with them, and even felt a slight surge of power similar to worship from them, so even from a selfish standpoint, doing this was beneficial and easy.
But unknowingly, as Frank kept healing souls and being nice to them, more and more souls appeared near him, seeing him as some kind of savior that could free them from their suffering.
Slowly but steadily, Frank began to add them to his Shadow, unaware that a mystical power within his soul started to awaken…
"Frank, dinner\'s ready!" said Annabelle, calling Frank for dinner.
"Alright!"
Frank quickly stood up as he walked back to the table, deciding to relax and enjoy some food with his beloved ones.
Meanwhile, within the confines of the world of Terra, in a Divine Realm that connected to many worlds, a divine entity resembling an old and bearded man glanced at a certain connection that he had to the transmigration cycle of souls which he administrated.
"Not only Mirror Kritias but Terra now? I have never seen Death Attribute in Terra… This person is constantly making my Transmigration System throw out errors all the time! As if it was not enough with Veronica and Ervas… Is there a way for me to intervene?" wondered the entity, moving around while rubbing his chin, and then waving his hand, glancing at a holographic window once more.
"The Demon King is awakening… This time it took more time than before… Eh? What? Watchers?"
The entity who was often oblivious about anything that happened over the worlds it administrated suddenly noticed that an immense structure was resting within the spatial layers that connected Terra\'s space to other spaces.
These were Watchers.
"They dare come to a world that I administrate… Even though Master Samsara also has jurisdiction over it. Insolent... But my strength is not enough to confront them, nor I want to even enter into a fight if possible. I will simply have to give up on this world for now… I am already entwined with Mirror Kritias, I don\'t want anything to do with another problematic world…" sighed the entity, quickly cutting his connection with Terra, as the transmigration cycle began to slowly stop…
Zudithe and Judith immediately realized this change.
"What?! Hekaton, that bastard just left our world?!" roared Judith.
"It… seems so…" said Zudithe.
"How will we maintain the world if there is no transmigration cycle?" asked Judith.
