Chapter 86: Get To Know The Team
The room fell silent as Lara cleared her throat. Arthur leaned forward, his curiosity piqued.
Lara went on to tell them everything they needed to know about her and her group’s abilities, skills, weaknesses, and so on.
"I’ve been a chosen for three years," she began, her voice steady and clear. "My core is practically filled, so my physical strength is high."
Her eyes took on a softer quality as she continued. "My ability, sadly, is limited to healing, but..." She paused, summoning two identical swords from thin air. The blades gleamed in the dim light, strange runes etched along their length pulsing with a soft, blue glow. "I have these twin swords that have an extremely unique ability."
She held the blades before her, one in each hand, their perfectly balanced forms catching the light. "Every time I inflict damage on someone with my blades, they will heal an equal amount of damage to what I caused to my opponent on myself." She took a second letting us understand her words "So if I had a huge gash on my leg and landed an attack of equal or more damage, that gash would be healed."
Arthur and Aziel exchanged glances, amazed by her having such a powerful soul weapon. Most chosen were lucky to have either a strong innate ability or a decent soul weapon—having both was rare indeed.
"And on top of that," she added with a hint of pride in her voice, "I’m rather skilled with the blades, so I definitely won’t be a hindrance in battle." She let her swords disappear.
Next was Jonas, he stepped forward, the floorboards creaking under his weight. His voice was deep and resonant as he explained his unique power.
"My ability makes it so I can make my body extremely heavy but move light as a feather," he rumbled, demonstrating by jumping several feet into the air despite his massive frame. When he landed, the entire room shook, dust falling from the ceiling. "It makes my attacks pack a serious punch. I can make my fist weigh a couple hundred pounds but swing it like it weighs nothing... scary, eh?" He grinned, his teeth startlingly white.
