Now, it's my part. What would be the chant?
I planned to simply order some Holy particles to revive Vagabond Wolf. Although that plan didn't have high chance to work because even a Lv60 Holy couldn't do it, how could I? But I still had some hope with that chant, maybe the priest just didn't have enough MP for it.
Putting all my hope into the spell I made up on a whim, I takes a deep breath and...
"I am Origo, the Origin Dragon,..." I have a name now, so I may as well use it. "...all Holy element inside me and around me, obey me..." I copied the Knight's Redemption, but I'm in no mood for asking nicely. The element doesn't seem to mind as light particles appears on me and in the air, even more than when the knight asked nicely. "...converge on my servant's body before me..." The countless particles flow from me toward the wolf's corpse, surrounding it. "...and return him to life!"
I shout the order, expecting the Spell's name to automatically appear in my mind. However, contrary to my thought, all of the particles disperse in a blink of an eye. A shock is sent through my mind and I fall backward onto the cage floor.
"You can't order Water to make Fire. Holy element can't revive the dead..." The priest shakily says.
"Then which element can?!" I get back up, angrily yell at the priest.
"When a mortal die, the Rawn in their body lose all consciousness. A little residual Energy inside them will carry their consciousness to haunt the killer..."
"I don't care about that! That man is dead, his soul is free now. Which element can revive the dead?!"
"Y..yes, but... it's meaningless to drive your servant's soul back into its dead body..."
"Then heal him!"
"Heal magic won't work on a dead body... Only Necromancy can... But that is..."
"How to do Necromancy?" I interrupt him. I don't care if Necromancy is dark or evil or something. It's the best if it ruins my image in those fanatics, but that's not my main concern now.
"You have to pray to the God of Death.. and to work with Soul, you have to pray to the Goddess of Life... However you can't pray to two Gods at the same time! Even the Primal Gods can't use two different Primal Magics at the same time.."
I don't want to pray to those lofty dumb-mass of Rawn... And Primal? Never mind that, they were born from me, so I don't believe there is something they can do but I can't... Yes, I'm Confident! You never know until you try!
I remember the Redemption's chant.. it probably took all of his Rawn and disintegrated him. Closing my eyes to focus, I try to make up a complicated long chant. I hope I have enough Time before anything could go wrong. Taking a deep breath, I start chanting solemnly without paying attention to the visual effects.
"I am Origo, the First being, the Sower of the World, the Creator of Four Laws, the Origin Dragon..." Although I can't see visual effect, the sound effect would probably give me goosebumps if I had skin: I hear double voice.. triple voice.. quadruple voice... each time I list one of the title I could think of.
After listing a bunch of titles and give myself an ominous echoing voice, I continue to the next part. First, I have to fixate the Soul...
"Vagabond Wolf! You are bound to me, Body and Soul, even Death couldn't tear us apart!" I use a part of the Servant Binding chant.
["Seriously?"] I hear that wolf's voice in my mind. That's good. Though its voice carries a bit of impudence.. I almost stopped, but I'm afraid that I would regret it...
"Shut up!" I telepathically send to him. Luckily it didn't interrupt my Chant. Next, I'd have to Heal his body.
"All the Rawn and Energy in my servant's Body, you belong to me to the fullest..." Suddenly the image of that Wolf's body.. no, anatomy appears in my mind. I feel like I have total control over them.. just like when I came to this dimension, I manipulate the Rawn to create this Shell... "...obey me, eject all foreign existence then return to your previous form, embracing your Soul and transcend the Death!"
Did it work? I still don't get the Spell's name in my mind, but I also don't get any shock. I slowly open my eyes, fearing the answer may not be what I wanted.
The thing I don't expect the most. Floating there, the deity who govern Life. I can't see the expression on her tiny face. Her hair still dancing in the frozen air. Time seems to be stopped. Even the fire flare on the torch is frozen. Silence. Only I and she are moving...
Vitae, inside the Projection plane, projects her mind to where the Origin Dragon is. He isn't sleeping, so she can't sneak into his dream. She notices two Freed Souls here, one glowing white while one glowing in an earthen golden color. Normally she would return them to his brother of Death.. but she feels she shouldn't do that. There is something serious happening on the other side, she has to check it!
She fades into existence, floating above a yard under the moon light...
The Time here was stopped. It's not a metaphor, nor a quickened perception due to Speed. Literally Stopped.

Looking around, she sees her creator. He is closing his eyes, focusing on something. She notices a dead wolf in front of his cage. She remembers when he bound this wolf as his servant.. and immediately understands the Disturbance.
Suddenly her creator starts chanting.. with his eyes still closed. The chanting can't take effect with Time stopped. However, his voice becomes more and more ominous. She unconsciously remembers his Past that she read from his memory. For the first time, she feels herself so small, not only physically, but also mentally; she feels the Dragon before him is as big as the World...
Before she notices it, his chanting stops. He stares at her, surprise shows in his face. That look of him makes her previous feeling seem like an illusion. Quickly regaining her composure and analyzing his chant, she understands what he is doing and also the spell's result...
"What are you doing here? I'm not praying to you!" I shout at the floating deity. Hmm, the chant doesn't count as "interrupted" when Time is stopped.
"That chant.. it won't work." She calmly says.
"You wouldn't know if you don't try! Now return Time to normal!" The stopped time gives me the unnecessary feeling of suspension.
"What..." She wants to say something, but stopped. She is probably thinking of a way to convince me to stay... "You just cast three different Spells in the same Chant. With your current Dex, it's impossible. You can only choose one of those..."
It's not a lie, I know it. That rule was made using my memory of that game...
"W..what are those three?" I ask, nervously waiting the answer. She seems to notice how I feel and smiles brightly.. Ah, she got my weakness.
"Bind Spirit, Reanimate and Soul Driver." She pauses the continues. "Those are your Choices. Announce one of their names and only that spell's effect will stay."
There is a terrible feeling inside my chest... Just like when I had Wait and Sanctuary in the same chant, I can only choose one.
"Can I.. can I cast these three spells one after another?" Although knowing it probably won't work, I still ask.
"The Delay..."
"Don't tell me..." I know what she would say... I hope not...
"Yes, as we created it from your memory. The Delay of each spell is too much. You could have Bind Spirit last very long, longer than the time for the third spell. However while you wait for Reanimate's delay and cast Soul Driver, the Reanimated body would become an Undead. Then Soul Driver would use your servant's soul as projectile for a spiritual attack spell on the Undead instead."
After her explanation, her creator falls into silence. He is probably weighting the three choices. Even if she wants to help him, she couldn't. The rules was set by the twelve Primal Gods, using his memory. Helping him causing another Disturbance would result in Chaos to the world. She can't help by casting a Spell either. She is in Projection form and Projection is a Primal Space Magic...
What he just chanted was Primal Magics of two different Laws. Well, Reanimate mostly belong to Law of Life (so does the other two), simply giving pseudo-Life to unanimate object. But his chant for it used Law of Energy (Matter) to Heal it instead. Not to mention the Time was stopped.. and it wasn't on her.
She has concluded that she shouldn't tell him he could still control the Four Laws. Who knows what will happen if he changes a mandatory Constant for his own convenience? For that reason, she didn't tell him the fourth possible spell of that chant... a Primal Time Magic...
Bind Spirit.. just like a Contract Binding, but with a Spirit. So my servant would become a Spirit? Just like those Mage in some other world, contracting spirit to use their magic, huh? But this wolf has no magic, so he would be an useless spirit following me...
["I'm not going to be some stupid Spirit!"]
Reanimate.. The body would live, physically. I can control it and have it as an obedience tank/servant. However the Soul would go to wherever a dead soul would go. Hell? Heaven? No where? Anyway, this choice is more useful and I'd get rid of his impudence...
["Hey hey! I dare you! I double dare you! DO NOT USE THAT!"]
Soul Driver.. If I drive him into a dead body, he would immediately dies again.. What if I drive him into me? Just like those monsters, they would become a part of the World. Though I doubt I could change the spell's target now.
["I don't worship you! Don't place me and those human in the same place!"]
The second choice was obviously the best choice for me.. However, I wasn't doing all this for myself. My first servant in this world.. The best choice for him is...
"Bind Spirit!" I roar the spell's name. The deity fades away. Time returns to normal.
