It could be possible in theory, but to actually perform something like this should be impossible.

To recreate cells and tissue while keeping the smallest microscopic details into mind was just too much, no matter how remarkable one's control over magic was.

"It's possible to create a body, but the hard part is inserting the soul back once someone dies. No one has ever been able to perform the magic of that level successfully."

"But how were you able to do this? To recreate the human body from scratch, you would need a phenomenal amount of control. And along with that, you would need extensive knowledge of the human body, down to the smallest details."

"The control that you speak of is something that I was born with. I can combine any and all elements out there, so it's not a big deal for me. And you don't need all the knowledge of the human body if you know how to use elements properly."

"What do you mean? How were you able to create all the organs and body parts without the knowledge about her body?"

Hazel turned around and looked at the coffin. After staring at it for a while, he turned towards me and continued.

"The knowledge of one's body holds little to no importance in this ceremony. You would need a constant supply of pure, highly concentrated mana for eleven days. If you are able to provide that and just follow the directions the cell will give, it will replicate itself and form a body on its own. It may be hard to believe, but the smallest fragment of the human body possesses enough knowledge to recreate the complete body."

I had heard about that during the biology classes, but even then, it was just a normal regular scientific theory for me. Something that I forgot after graduating from school. It's not like I was going to use that in my daily life then, so there was no point in remembering all that.

'But now, it feels like it might have been better if I had paid attention.'

I was lost in thought for a few seconds, which wasn't unnatural. Compared to the knowledge that this world's people possessed, the information he provided must be of grave importance.

"That makes sense, but you would need to be able to control and convert the raw mana into magical energy. Then combine multiple elemental magic delicately to change it into the organic components that make the human body. Does that cell regulate that all too?"

"Yes, but at the start, you would need to control it through your supply of mana. A single cell is too delicate to perform all those functions, so there is a high chance it might break. But your control only needs to be delicate at the start. As time passes and the body grows, it will be able to handle more and more mana without breaking."

"Alright, I now understand how you made this body and why you kept it sealed here. But you said something about reviving, how do you plan to do that?"

It was apparent that it would require three things. First the body we already had, then the soul that he had already taken with him, and then her memory or consciousness. Without any of the three, the revival was impossible.

Hazel put his hand into his chest pocket and pulled out a pendant made of sparkling blue crystal.

When I looked closer, I realized it was like a deep ocean. Inside the blue crystal, there was a small white fish swimming around.

"Do you know what this is?"

"...I am not sure. But it does look beautiful."

"Ha-Ha! This, my friend, is a Soulstone. A very precious stone formed at the deepest part of the sea once every millennium."

The name made a few things obvious, and just by looking at it, I could tell that it had some sort of charming power. Something inside me was naturally attracted towards the blue shine that it was emitting.

"It's dangerous to stare at it for long. You better shift your focus somewhere else."

"Y-yes."

I turned towards the painting on the wall to shift my focus somewhere else. Even while I was looking somewhere else, I could feel the pendant calling me. However, I had prepared myself this time, so I stayed focused on the painting and tried not to even think about it.

"It captures the soul of anyone who stares at it for a long time. Fortunately, this only applies to mortals with a short lifespan, which makes me immune to its power."

"Are you saying this thing holds her soul?"

"Yes, but not just her soul. The Soulstone is naturally just transparent, so the fish inside it is her soul. But the blue color you see is the evil spirit that had possessed her. Strangely, it has developed some kind of symbiotic relationship with her, but it won't be possible to revive her while the spirit resides within this pendant. I would like to request the help of your spirit in removing the evil spirit from this pendant."

That sounded like something Flare could do. If all he wanted was the removal of spirits, Flare's flames should be more than sufficient. However, something was telling me that that's not all he wants.

"Is that all the help you will need from us?"

"At the moment, I think that's all. But as you can see, this process is very complicated as her memories are trapped within the gap between spaces. When I created this body and separated her soul, I had to store her memories somewhere where it won't deteriorate or disappear, so the gap was the only place that came into my mind."

"It's alright. But how do you plan to get her consciousness back? I am sure she will try to resist anyone trying to bring her back."

The gap of the space was large, and trying to find memories there was like trying to find?bacteria in one's food.

"That's the tricky bit in all this. Even I cannot stay in the gap between spaces for longer than a fraction of a second. Only Black may be able to do that, but I am sure he won't. He believes that the dead should just stay dead."
