Diana watched as the two phantoms, Kalrin and Ralvyn, hovered next to their brother's corpse. The blood had stopped flowing from Malrik, which would have made it impossible for him to move again.

Arthur had once attempted to revive a priestess from a church that worshipped the Scholar Guardian. The priestess had sacrificed her life to save Arthur, which prompted him to defy the very nature of life to keep her alive.
Ai was then revived, albeit by using a fraction of Arthur's soul. Arthur had to use his powers of creation like a seed to keep her alive. In the end, it backfired as he couldn't return to their world after his meeting with Gaia because of his fractured soul.
