The shoujo's lovely appearance was one reason, the other being the girl's presence that quenched any rebellious thought against her.

With this statement, the others had finally regained their memories, and realized the abnormality of the current situation.

Certainly, Calgurio and co should have been slain by the Demon Diablo.

"My name is Calgurio.

Besides that, are you the one who saved us?"

"Hm? Operation or whatever, we're the ones who annihilated your army you know?
Since it looks like you misunderstood something I'll give you an explanation, you're all already dead.
Or rather, didn't every soldier in the army died?
Maybe some of you may have survived, but lets talk about that later.
But since it looks like you perfectly retained your memory, the ritual was a success.
Now, lets start again.
Nice to meet you, My name is Rimuru, Demon Lord Rimuru.

Well, even if I called it a resurrection, it is only a temporary one.

However, for various reasons I've decided to perform the resurrection ritual.
®è¡¯ä»®å®çä¸è¡§
This ritual, only grants someone a temporary life.

After the incident of Shion's death, Wisdom King Raphael had been smoothly analyzing the soul.
¯¬¤³å¥ª£"èé"®å®ç"¯åææ'¯äººé®éåºæ¥...
The raw materials of the "Soul Jewel" taken from Clayman are human souls.
¨«®¼é«æç®äººé1ä¸äººå®é«ç¸å½'
In terms of energy, it's equivalent to 10,000 human souls.
®å¯æ'éå¶é'ä»®®§äºä¸ç¬ ®ç缫å®å¢å¹ è¡£...®¯æç'½ £
However, this strength carries with it a time limit, and could burn off strength to provide amplify strength for an instant.
äºå®æ'ºæ §ä¹ç®è§£æ§¯äººé100åå種éèåç¬éåºåé«äºåºæ¥« ®å®ç £®
In fact, according to Wisdom King Raphael's analysys, 100 human souls could be fused to make a Jewel that could increase strength for an instant.
åå®å²«¯å¤§äº®ç¡¢¤ §
Comparing it to its name it wasn't that great an item.
ä¸ç¨®®¼³°«è©²å½'® ªç©«é ¼®§¯å ç¡ ¨æå解...é«æ»®§
It's probably similar to doping, however I think relying on such a thing would not fare well in the future, so I simply decomposed it into souls.
¾å¾©å å¯è½ å®è¡® ®éç 究«æµç¨...¨è¨³
And since we would simply revert the process, the souls were used in research.
人«é'髯質¨éåå"¨'
Not limited to humans, all souls have quality and quantity.
質¯¨åæ¤ç©«å ¥£...鮨«®¼é¯æ¥µå°§£
Quality aside, the souls of plants and animals contain very little energy.
«æ¯¹...人é®é«¯è«å¤§ª¨«®¼è¾¼...
Compared with that, a human's soul contains an immense amount of energy.
¯çå¹³ç«èª°«§ä¸å®æ°ä¸...®¯ç¢ºèªæ¸¿§£
It was confirmed that everyone would have the same equal amount of energy.
®é®¨«®¼ä½¿ª©ï¼¹«¨å¼ç§°'é®å§
And to actually utilize the energy of the souls? This was referred to as, soul force.
é«å»¾æ å ±åè¡ä½¿'å «ª
The information engraved onto the soul, would become the origin of its powers.
§¯¨«®¼«ç´æ¥æ å ±å»¾®¨¨§¯ª
Then, does the energy directly engrave the information onto the soul, that's not it.
¾èªæå å¿æ ¸
First, there's the ego, wrapped around in the core.
«å ¨...®æ å ±¯å»¾
This, is where all the information is engraved on.
®å¿æ ¸è...¨«®¼çµæ'¶é¨ª
And so in conclusion the crystalized energy encases the core and becomes the soul.
å®ç ®å¿æ ¸®æå½±'å翨...éç'º®§£
The Possession Jewel was developed in order to project the core.
TN Note: read chapter 119, cheers to Lion san for remember what it's called.
å¿æ ¸«¯¨«®¼ç¡ç¶æ èªæ¯
The core has no energy. However the ego does.
é®å硹«¯è¡ä½¿åºæ¥ª©èªææ£...è¡å'亯å¯è½ª®
Without the soul force skills couldn't be activated, but it's possible for the ego to operate.
¯å®ç ¯éç´ «...鮨«®¼ä»£ç¨...§
And the possession jewel is used to substitute the soul's energy with Magical essence.
¨«®¼®è³ªéçºé'箯å...å®åºæ¥ª¾§è¿·å®®æ¥½çº®ç©å ·ª® å顯ç¡
However, it's undeniable there would be limits due to the difference in the quality of energy. Since in the end it's simply used as a toy in the dungeon thus there are no problems.
ä½è¨¨¨å¿æ ¸«¹«æ å ±å»¾......é®åç¡°è¡ä½¿åºæ¥ª¨äºª®
In the end what I wanted to say is, even if the skills are engraved onto the core, if there's no soul force it couldn't be used, that's about it.
ä»å«ª®¥ªªé®è端å®ç ç¨...
This time, the possession jewel is used to resurrect Calgurio.
é奪å¿æ ¸æ"å£...å®ç «ç§»®
The soul was reaped, the core taken out, and moved into the jewel.
å®ç åµ®¯ç°¡å ¨«®¼«¯å人æ"å£"é®å"®ç'¾å®ä¸ä»¥ä¸®å°éæµç¨...
Making the jewel was simple, it requires less than 1% of the soul force's energy.

In actuality, I don't really lose anything, just a bit of labor cost.
æ»è ®èä½é泧治ç'å®ç åè¾¼
regenerating the flesh of the dead with magic, then embedding the jewel into them.
...å¿æ ¸æµè¾¼®
And finally transferring the core.
ç°¡å«è¨©æ'ºæ §ä¹ç®å"§åçªæ¼ç®å£...®ä½"楧®¯è¨¾§ç¡
It sounds simple, but without Wisdom King Raphael's overwhelming calculation abilities this task couldn't possibly be undertaken.

Specifying an individual alone is already a difficult task, but to also match their genetic code to the soul data, and identify that individual instantly, it was so well done I should call Raphael -sensei instead.

With this method, it was possible to restore the flesh, and after using the jewel the resurrection would be a success.
®èç«åé¡ç¡è¨³§¯ç¡
However, that doesn't mean this method is flawless.
¾å¤§å¼±ä½å'
Firstly, the individual is weakened greatly.

Naturally, it's because I've snatched the entirety of their soul force.

It would be impossible to use skills form now on, and if they're unlucky their magic usage would also be affected.
éèä½ä¿®ç·´ç© æ衯殮§¹««é ¼£±ª§ç¡£ª°å顧¯ç¡
However, since any physical training results or experience is still retained, so as long as they aren't dependent on their skills it would not be a problem.

Then, the second problem.

Something I can't do anything about.

If their corpse isn't around anymore, they couldn't be resurrected.

Without a physical record, it's impossible to create something for the soul data out of nothing without anything to base on.

There are also cases of them being put into dolls, but is it worth the cost?

Even if only a portion of their flesh remained it's still possible to reconstruct it with magicThe reason resurrection magic couldn't be used is because their soul couldn't be reproducedEven so, there are those whose didn't have any remains at all.

There are those who were perfectly combusted by Ultima's "Nuclear flame" and those whose genetic code was completely destroyed by Testarossa's "Death strike"

And then, there are those whose soul simply accepted death due to fear and despair.

Against these, I who have means of spiritual healing could do nothing about.

In the end, those who cannot be resurrected, number over 200,000.

However, they were suppose to be completely annihilated, so when you compare the numbers you could say they were luck to have so few deaths.

In truth, I thought that Testa had truly went overboard, but I haven't gave any instructions to avoid damaging their flesh.

If they were overly focused on this and end up getting injured for that, then it would be meaningless.

Above all, to do something like having a compassionate heart towards invading enemy soldiers, I don't want to be a virtuous saint with a field of flowers for brains.
