Chapter 455: Mana Value Equals Spirit Equals Soul

"Tsk, feels a bit troublesome."

The battle outside was still continuing. Although it was a retreat battle, it was still very intense.

And in the Central Habitat, inside those tree trunks originally used as warehouses by Lan Qingyou, lay the corpses of witches one after another.

Most witches were killed in the early stages when they were ambushed.

But fortunately, because they knew about these guys' plans, the blood of most witches was snatched back by other witches before it could be extracted.

So only a small number couldn't be successfully snatched back.

But facing Typhon City's base number of over a hundred thousand witches, this so-called 'small number' wasn't small either.

At least for the witches, it was unacceptable.

Even one death was unacceptable.

Of course.

There were also some whose blood had been extracted but was desperately snatched back by other witches.

In everyone's words, 'since we won't die, then there's nothing to be afraid of'.

After all, even 'injuries' like Lucia's were saved.

It's just that right now, this 'saved' needed to have slight quotation marks around it.

"Why hasn't she woken up yet?"

By the bed, the [Steel Witch] Erica frowned as she looked at Lucia lying on the bed with a pale face.

Beside her was the [Lantern Witch] Nightingale, one of the members of the Witch Coven, wearing glasses and a white lab coat, with her long brown hair tied into a side ponytail resting over her shoulder.

She was also one of the few people who went to check on Lucia after learning she was attacked.

Only because the distance was slightly farther, she simply went to Cynthia's station together with the [Summoning Witch] Martha, who was examining the scene of the attack, and then they all came to the Central Habitat together.

At this moment, Nightingale was arranging the IV tools by the bed.

Previously, it was relying on these tools that the originally lost blood was infused back into her.

Of course, besides the tools, she also used a little bit of the medical magic she had researched herself, such as cardiac resuscitation.

And apart from these two, there were also several other witches who participated in this 'Resurrect Lucia' operation.

For example, the [Toy Witch] Katie, the [Thorn Witch] Cynthia, and the [Knowledge Witch] Diana, who was supervising this 'Resurrection Operation'...

"I'm not sure. She's definitely alive again, but... how should I put it, Lucia's current state is a bit similar to a vegetative state on Blue Star. You should be able to understand if I put it this way, right?"

Originally, Nightingale wanted to casually say some specialized medical knowledge and terminology.

After all, it would flow more smoothly for her that way.

But thinking that no one around was a medical graduate, she changed it to an explanation that everyone was familiar with and could understand.

"A vegetative state... then wouldn't finding Alice do the trick? Isn't it said that people in a vegetative state are actually conscious, just unable to wake up?"

Erica, who completely failed to understand Nightingale's words, proposed her own solution after thinking for a bit.

In her cognition, people in a vegetative state also had consciousness, so if Alice used her magic, perhaps she could wake the other party up.

However, that wasn't the case at all.

So.

"Sigh..."

Nightingale sighed.

It seemed that even if she used common terms everyone could understand, there were still problems.

After all, Blue Star and the Karim Continent were fundamentally different.

But how exactly should she explain the 'phenomenon' currently happening to Lucia?

Nightingale struggled for a bit, then pushed up her glasses and finally spoke.

"Uhh... it's slightly different. How should I tell you... it's like the body can slowly recover to its peak state after treatment, but the spirit hasn't recovered, so that's why she can't wake up."

"Is there... any difference?"

The [Toy Witch] Katie, who was only eighteen years old and 1.5 meters tall, looking very small, didn't quite understand, but the people nearby basically understood after this explanation.

"According to Mana Value equals Spirit equals Soul."

Erica recited this formula.

"Hmm?"

Katie still didn't understand.

"It means that if the soul hasn't recovered, the spirit won't recover, and if the spirit doesn't recover, the Mana Value won't recover, resulting in falling into this kind of meaningless slumber."

Nightingale handed her glasses to the other party.

Although she still didn't quite understand, Katie took the glasses and put them on her face.

These were Appraisal Glasses, something Lan Qingyou had also used before.

Then, she saw a string of numbers she had never seen before.

No... accurately speaking, it should be the first time seeing numbers arranged like this.

Lucia's current Mana Value was 0.

That's right, no matter how one used magic, the Mana Value could never become 0.

After all, this thing increased every minute and every second.

Moreover, the higher the level, the faster and larger the increase.

"Then what should we do?"

As a character who only needed to use her talent to turn the person into a stuffed toy in this operation, and then turn her back later, Katie was also a bit panicked.

No matter how you look at it, this was her first time participating in a plan where multiple 'leaders' were personally getting hands-on.

She truly hoped to do it well and perfectly.

But this question of hers was inherently very sharp, and the other few people didn't know how to answer it.

"How about... letting Martha come over and try a summoning spell?"

Erica scanned the crowd in the room, then voiced her new plan.

"Martha?"

Diana was puzzled.

"The guy who calls herself the Summoning Witch, she's very good at summoning magic."

"...You mean summoning the soul directly?"

"Right. Most of the things summoned by the summoning magic the boss makes are hell creatures. Then after a person dies, their soul should also go to hell, right? As long as we grasp this point, I don't think there's no room for operation."

Erica raised her head with a proud face.

She felt that she was really too amazing to be able to think of this method.

After all, no one else had thought of going to hell to snatch a soul, right?

"..."

Don't say it, really don't say it!

Although it looked like a wild fantasy, in reality, it was indeed a wild fantasy.

But it wasn't like this plan had no possibility of success.

Thus, everyone who understood applauded Erica, and then they called over Martha, who had come together with them earlier, and explained the situation.

"A bit complicated..."

Martha looked at Lucia on the bed, pinching her chin in deep thought.

"Doing this would be equivalent to a targeted summon. Although compared to those creatures from hell where it's like a chicken talking to a duck, the soul might at least understand human speech."

"Katie, please turn Lucia's body into a toy first. I'll go think about how to construct the Summoning Array."

After thinking for a while, Martha said a word to Katie and then flew out of this tree hole.

Seeing that the other party actually 'entered the zone' at a time like this, apart from Katie who had things to do, the rest of the people in the room were momentarily speechless.
