" Should we start now...? " I ask both Twelve and 69 about this as I begin to use the very skill that I want to use since earlier but had not had the right chance, moment, and time to do it.
" We shall... " they both answered as I activate the skill.
" < Skill: Aether Magic I: Black Shadow Magic > " as I spoke the skill's name, the Aether inside me begin to react as it begin to release outside my body.
< Aether Energy is now in the process of resurrecting the corpse into the Player's Shadow Subordinate... >
< Please Stand By >
" Grrkkhhh..... "
" How much AP (Aether Points) does it cost? " I ask as I see the System and tells me that the Magic process needs around 35.000 AP since the monster that I'm resurrecting right now is formerly this area's Boss, and also a dangerous one, in fact, making the System have to give its name with a Red Color.
" Hope this works... " I felt so numb as half portion of the Aether I've gathered immediately left my body to perform the corpse's resurrection.
As I try to hold on, I begin to feel my HP slowly depleting as at that moment, Ragna 69 who was a Mage in his Timeline then tells me that the cost of one's life is one of the very things that a Necromancer Mage like me need to remember while resurrecting the dead as he tells that due to the 'Divine Limiter' made by the Diviners, humans are unable to perform this kind of task.
" That's why I told you to purchase many HP Potion from the System Shop, Ragna Current... " he says as he immediately gives me one of them from my Inventory I immediately drink it.
< HP +450 >
" How long the resurrection process will be? " I ask 69 as he then told me to be patient as the resurrection process is nearly finished.
" It's done, now it's just a matter of how the Aether Energy will give it a proper form... "
" Proper form...? "
" Yes, a Proper Form,... "
" Unlike any Energy that existed in the world, the Aether is the more diverse energy that could exist in the world of the living and in the world of death, it connects them, binds them, making those who had powerful souls have the ability to resurrect the weaker souls," he explains which made me confused but thankfully, the System then notifies me and explain the meaning.
< Player Ragna, what Ragna 69 means to Player Ragna is Player Ragna's current Soul Status that is beyond 50 points, the minimum requirement for those who want to resurrect weaker souls. >
< Player Ragna Soul Status: 59 >
...
" I see... " I said to the System as the System notified that the Aether had almost finished its touch with the process as it states < The Aether has now manifested the Remnant Soul of the monster corpse into a Black Shadow. >.
As it said that, the female monster then raised from the ground as its skin turned into pitch-black skin as began to open its eyes again and then.
"GRYAAAKKKKRRRRRRRHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " she screams, the monster screams after being arisen from the dead.
" What the hell? why is this female monster screaming? " I ask which Twelve then states that the monster might be just remembered some parts of its past, courtesy of being awakened from the dead. So the female monster must be having some flashbacks of its death making her react like this after being raised from the dead.
As the female monster screams for minutes long, it finally calms down as it sees us, and...
< The Black Shadow is now observing Player Ragna as its summoner. >
"( I can see that... )" I said as the female Black Shadow approached me in confusion as she stares at me while I stared back at her and sees her status.
< Name: Black Shadow Abyss Feaster (Rare) >
< Race: Black Shadow, Abyss Eater Elite >
< Level: 60 >
...
"( Abyss Feaster, huh? )" I ask myself as the female black shadow monster is now in front of me I kinda groggy after seeing it as I see its face.
"( Her face is so beautiful for a humanoid monster, usually lovely and beautiful female monsters like this can only be found in anime or comics and etc... )" I said as I see the Black Shadow monster's face to be so lovely as her lips are so engaging and her body too also. Not just that, despite her still having some monstrous features like the spider legs on her back that she retracted and her spider horns, it still doesn't mess up the humanoid female beauty of this resurrected monster.
As I think of that, the Black Shadow monster I've summoned begins to speak.
" Are you my master? are you the one who raised me from the blackness of death? " she asked.
"( It can talk? )" I asked Ragna 69 then tells me to hold my ground and don't look scared as things like this usually happen, as this moment is basically the moment where the summon checks whether the summoner is worthy of them or not, and this also applies when doing resurrection.
"( Well, if you choose to resurrect a Bestial Monster with no intelligence then things like this wouldn't happen as the restricted's Black Shadow Form will be immediately in your control. )"
"( Sadly, this one is different for this one had intelligence even before you resurrected her, so in order to gain her loyalty and some answers, you must first prove to her that you are worthy to lead her as her master. )"
"( Okay, I'll do it... )"
"( Good luck, the play is yours... )" 69 says to me as I gulped, knowing that I'm not a Smooth Talker which I had to formulate my words first before I even speak since I'm not like those Shounen MCs that can suddenly talk s**t and everyone just immediately agree with it.
"( What to do? what should I say to this Black Shadow? )" I think for a bit and then answered her.
" Yes, I'm the one who resurrects you... "
" Is there any problem? " I asked while suddenly thinking.
"( Wait, WTF am I saying? )"

Soul Status Points in Ragna's Status is the point that values how strong Ragna's soul is as it was the first requirement for Ragna to do some magic like Necromancy in the future.
