Chapter 521

Takumi finished the first stage and then carefully put away the items in his hands. Just at this time, Keqing returned from work. Seeing Takumi, she couldn't wait to ask.

"How's it going? Is there any problem?"

Hearing Keqing's question, Takumi nodded confidently.

"No problem. However, it may take some time to fully recover them. But it's not a big issue."

Of course, there was no real problem. All he needed now was time. In at most two or three days, Takumi could revive all of them.

Keqing sighed with relief.

"That's good. As long as they can be resurrected, then everything is fine."

A smile appeared on her face. She had full confidence in Takumi.

Without saying much, Keqing walked directly to the kitchen and started preparing dinner. Since no one else was around, they had to cook for themselves.

After a while, dinner was ready. There were only three people at home, so they made a simple meal. After eating, they rested for the night.

The next day, Takumi continued the restoration process for the Yakshas. Using the power of the Herrscher of Death, a rich life force began to flow into one of the shells. Takumi decided to revive Bonanus first, then Indarias—ladies first, as he thought.

Consciousness was complete, so the next step was to restore the soul. Once the soul was restored, a physical body could be created. Takumi had already planned everything.

As the powerful vitality surged, the water elements in the room started gathering. Under Takumi's guidance, Bonanus's soul began to mend steadily.

Meanwhile, Xiao sensed the energy and rushed to Takumi's manor. He appeared suddenly beside Takumi, his eyes fixed on Takumi's movements. Feeling the familiar aura, Xiao was visibly excited.

Before long, Zhongli, Guizhong, and Cloud Retainer also arrived. Their eyes focused on the blue figure gradually forming before them. The curled-up figure had blue hair and bore the sign of Pisces. It was indeed Bonanus, the Conch General.

Takumi noticed the crowd but didn't mind. He concentrated on fully restoring Bonanus's soul. Nearly an hour later, he finished the process.

"Phew~! All done. I'll take a break now."

Seeing Bonanus floating beside him, Takumi finally relaxed. Xiao immediately stepped forward, extending his arms as Takumi released his hold on Bonanus. Gently, Xiao caught her in his embrace.

"Is it okay?" Xiao asked nervously.

Takumi nodded.

"Yes. She'll wake up in a moment. As for the rest, I'll continue tomorrow. I need to take it slow."

One Yaksha a day was all Takumi could handle. The Yakshas' resurrection process was particularly draining, not just because he needed to repair their souls but also because he had to cleanse their karmic burdens. Crafting a physical body was comparatively simple.

Now, all they needed to do was wait for Bonanus to awaken. Xiao's eyes remained fixed on her, filled with hope.

Of the five Yakshas, Xiao was the youngest. Bosacius was the eldest brother, Menogias the second, Lumineda the third, and Bonanus the fourth. Xiao was the little brother of the group.

Seeing Bonanus reappear, Xiao's excitement was evident. Zhongli, standing to the side, couldn't help but comment.

"Your ability has grown stronger. Can you truly restore even the faintest trace of consciousness?"

His tone was filled with a mix of surprise and admiration. These Yakshas had been reduced to mere wisps of consciousness, their souls nearly lost to the void.

Hearing Zhongli's words, Takumi explained:

"Actually, resurrecting Yakshas is quite troublesome. Otherwise, I could go much faster. Their karma makes the process slow and delicate."

Everyone present understood immediately. The Yakshas had accumulated immense karmic debt over the centuries, making their resurrection uniquely difficult. It wasn't like resurrecting others, where Takumi had managed it with relative ease.

While they spoke, Bonanus finally stirred.

"Where... am I?"

Her soft voice echoed in the room. She slowly opened her eyes, confusion clear on her face. Wasn't she dead? She vaguely remembered her final moments, and the painful memories made her expression darken. Tears began to form in her eyes.

"Wake up! It's okay now."

A gentle voice brought her back to the present. Bonanus blinked and looked around, her vision settling on Xiao and Zhongli.

"Xiao? And... Rex Lapis?!"

Realizing her situation, she hurriedly sat up, looking around in a daze. Everything seemed surreal.

"Bonanus! You're awake!"

Xiao's voice trembled with joy. Zhongli nodded kindly at her.

"It's good to see you awake."

Bonanus's confusion deepened.

"What... what happened? Where are the others?"

Her voice held a mix of hope and fear.

"Don't worry," Xiao reassured her. "In a few days, the others will also be resurrected."

Hearing this, Bonanus's eyes widened.

"Really? Even Menogias too?"

She could hardly believe it. The thought of seeing her siblings again made her tremble. Her memories of Menogias' tragic end resurfaced, filling her with uncertainty.

Takumi, who had been watching quietly, finally spoke.

"Check yourself. You should find that your karma is gone."

Bonanus hesitated, then closed her eyes to sense her internal state. Suddenly, her eyes flew open in shock.

"It's... gone!"

Her voice was filled with disbelief. The heavy karma that had always weighed on her soul was completely gone. Tears welled up in her eyes again, but this time, they were tears of joy.

The Yakshas' karmic debt, which had plagued them for centuries, was finally cleansed. A burden lifted, Bonanus felt truly free for the first time in her life.

Everyone present shared in her joy. Xiao remained by her side, not letting go of her hand. Zhongli, Guizhong, and Cloud Retainer all smiled, their hearts warm with the reunion of old friends.

Takumi sat back, watching the scene unfold with a gentle smile. He had only completed the second step, but it was a powerful reminder of why he undertook this task. The days ahead would be busy, but seeing this moment made all the effort worth it.
