Summoned and Unwanted

653 One can not live without the other

Kazumi went to the rock with hair on it and continued [This is a strange discovery. I am curious as to what we will find with Inspection.]

Vincent decided it would be wise to use Inspection on the hair. He hoped the information provided could help them understand what had happened and why hair was left in this place.

Vincent focused his gaze, and the inspection window appeared. A frown soon appeared on his face after reading the information appearing in front of his eyes.

.

[Third Eye activate.]

[Soul Link description.]

[The two separate body parts are linked by the same soul acting as the anchor to keep the body whole.]

[The Dullahan’s head and body can survive apart. However, the link breaks as the distance grows beyond the limit of the soul’s capacity.]

[When the link is broken, the body kept in a complete state by the [Soul Link] will become inactive and separate, causing the two parts of the Dullahan to become independent.]

[The independent body cannot receive commands and will enter a dormant state.]

[The independent head cannot sustain life as the connections with the body are cut. The head will enter a mana survival state where mana will be consumed to keep the Dullahan alive.]

[When one of the Dullahan’s parts dies, the other part will experience instant death as one part can not live without the other, even if both parts are worlds apart.]

.

“That is not hair on a rock! That is a Dullahan’s head, and it is barely alive at that!” Vincent exclaimed.

“A head? How head be here?” *Pho?*

[This is stranger than we imagined. Instead of this being a crime scene needing detective work, it is a lost head of a Dullahan who is about to die soon.]

Plow approached the head. She gave the head a gentle nudge. *Pho?* “How is head not on body? Plow smells no blood. Is head not cut?”

Vincent lowered to his knee. He carefully lifted the head. The skin was pale, and her condition appeared to be worse than the condition status revealed.

“This is a woman of the Dullahan race. In my world, we had stories about Dullahans having detachable heads and could still live.”

“Really?” *Pho?*

“However, they were only stories. The only people existing in my world were humans. Any other race was made up. But funnily enough, we had so much imagination that we guessed almost all of them correctly.”

“Vincent Vincent’s world people are intelligent.” *Pho* “Plow is very very confused. But Vincent Vincent’s people knew people with no body or no head could live. Plow is shocked.”

“Plow. Some things can only be believed by witnessing them. Then again, I am also shocked to hold a detached head still breathing.”

Vincent gazed at the face and noticed it gave a strange impression. The face was pale, yet it didn’t show signs of starvation.

Apart from being deathly pale, the face didn’t show signs of suffering hunger. As if the head could survive in without using its fat storage as energy to survive.

“This Dullahan’s name is Awa. By the looks of her face, she is a woman.” *Sigh* “I feel a little guilty to call her hair on a rock now.”

Plow looked at the head, full of curiosity. “Plow understands Dullahan person can live with head no on the body. But will the Awa person live?”

“I... I don’t know...”

[I also agree with your assessment. I do not know if we can save her.] Kazumi went in front of Vincent’s face and continued with a frown [Do not get attached to a dying person. She isn’t your problem, so be prepared to bury her.]

“I... I want to try.”

[Sigh. There you go again... but that is why everyone grows to like you.]

Kazumi could only watch over Vincent now. She only hoped Vincent would not get overly attracted to the head. She didn’t want Vincent to have unnecessary thoughts in this important time of recovery and time of weakness.

Vincent placed the head on Plow’s back. “Hold the head while I clear a few more trees. I will summon the cabin and try to offer first aid. Maybe the head can wake up.

Vincent went to store a couple of trees. He summoned the Pocket Cabin, and they entered inside.

Vincent placed a couple of fabrics on the sofa. He placed the head on the fabrics and used Overheat to begin warming the fabrics and the head on them.

“Is woman’s head fine?” *Pho?*

[Vincent. How about you use some potions instead of using your healing spells? You only have forty Soul Power left.]

-Good idea.-

Vincent stopped using Overheat. He summoned one Minor Regen Potion, one Minor Mana Regen Potion, the last Minor Stamina Regen Potion, and two Minor Healing Potions.

Vincent was serious about trying to save the Dullahan’s life. However, it was not all about pity or acting like a hero. Instead, the head of the Dullahan reminded Vincent of when Ester’s face was pale and suffered from cold.

‘Why can’t I get Ester’s head out of my mind? I feel I am failing to save Ester if I fail to save this Dullahan. But why can’t I get this thought out of my mind? Is it because both are suffering and cold?’ Vincent pondered deeply while choosing to begin with the mana regen potion.

Vincent placed the potion on the Dullahan’s lips. He carefully raised the vial for the liquid to leave the vial. However, because the Dullahan was unconscious, Vincent had to do things manually. Mouth to mouth.

Vincent drank the potion and raised the Dullahan’s head. Their lips locked, and Vincent forcefully fed the potion to the Dullahan. It was a weird feeling. As if kissing a cold, yet alive decapitated head.

[I wonder if the girls would become angry to discover you kissing another woman.] Kazumi joked to lighten the mood.

“Plow want to try drinking like that. Can Vincent Vincent feed Plow like that?” *Pho*

Vincent placed the Dullahan’s head on the warm fabrics. He shook his head and responded, “This is for first aid only. Only when my little Plow needs this kind of aid will I try to feed you a potion like this.”

*Pho* “Plow understands. Plow does not want Vincent Vincent to feed Plow like that. Plow does not want to feel ouchie.”

Vincent gave Plow a head pat to raise her spirits. He picked up the healing potion, to begin with, the second potion.

‘A life I do not know is on the line. I know I am not a hero to be doing this. I know I do not want to be like my favorite hero as well. He was too selfless and reckless with his body.’ Vincent pondered while feeding the second healing potion to the Dullahan.

‘I do not want to bury the head before I try to help. I was helped before. Now I am returning the help I received to a random innocent person.’ Vincent thought he shouldn’t be the one to decide the life or death of a possibly innocent person on the verge of death.

Vincent looked at the fifth potion. It was the minor regen potion.

“Can you hear me?” *Tap* “Are you able to wake up?” *Tap, tap* Vincent said while gently tapping in Dullahan’s cheeks.

“Vincent Vincent. The head is breathing better now. The kiss worked.” *Pho* Plow touched the Dullahan’s cheek with her tiny paw and continued, “Wakey wakey. Please stop making Vincent Vincent sad.”

“I am sad?” Vincent questioned.

“Yep.” *Pho* “Vincent Vincent is making sad faces. Vincent Vincent is a good person. Vincent Vincent wants to save the head’s life.”

[Plow is right. You are acting as if the head of this Dullahan means something to you. I bet you are feeling a little guilty that you can not do a lot to save her.]

“...” *sigh* “Both of you are right. When I look at the head, I am reminded of Ester. Did losing a lot of my soul to the mutation make my emotions act abnormal?”

[Sigh. An here I thought your emotions returned to normal after what happened yesterday. It will become a problem if every injured person you see will remind you of the girls.]

-That’s why I want to try saving this Dullahan. I want to see if this is a one-time weakness or if it will be a permanent one. Being at twenty-five percent power is enough of a weakness for now. I do not need emotional weakness as well.-

[I understand, Vincent. I will do my best to help fight against your abnormal swing of emotions. Maybe this is happening because your soul still needs readjusting.]

“I hope that too. ” Vincent responded while grabbing the last potion he wanted to give to the Dullahan.

Vincent tried to open her eyes to see her retina carefully. Her eyes were as dark as her black hair. Her eyes were as black as Jun Ye Rim’s eyes.

*Sigh* “The eyes didn’t respond to the light.” *Tap, tap* “Hey Dullahan named Awa. This is your last chance. If you do not show signs of recovery... I might have to bury you soon.”

Vincent drank the potion and began mouth feeding the head. While this was happening, a small amount of little shadow-like smoke appeared from the place where the head and the neck are connected.
