Log Horizon - ep20

It seem that the battle is coming to a close, but with Minori request of Shiroe it make things a bit complicate because to help her he has to abandon his post. Although thankful since the battles almost over it isn't as dire as it would have been if she need his help earlier in the battle. However since the only thing left to do is the clean up he can leave everything else to Karashin. That in helping to save Rudy is gets us back to the theory of body and soul. That all that Shiroe can have them do until he gets there is have them alternate using revival spells to prevent the dispersal of Rudy's body.

This also leads to the exploration of world magic as well as what Shiroe can do with his scribe skill. The first step to revive Rudy is forcefully restoring his mp since this is connect to the soul. However this can only be done by going the party and using his skill to restore everyone's mp in the party. Now he forcefully join the mind and body by using a item to temporally turn Rudy into a zombie. The reason for this is that Shiroe needs Rudy to willing sign the contract that he made, that it is through this contract he will bind Rudy to his guild and grant him all of the ability that adventures posses allowing Rudy to be resurrected back at the cathedral. The question that still remains is what effect will this happen to the rest of the world, and will Shiroe's contracts be the key that will allow them to return home.
