Chapter 89: A Parting Gesture
The room remained still as Eunhe stepped forward, her expression unreadable. For a moment, she simply studied them, taking in the bruises, cuts, and sheer exhaustion weighing down their postures.
Then, without a word, she raised her hands.
A soft golden glow pulsed from her fingertips, expanding outward like ripples in water. It wasn’t blinding, nor was it overwhelming—it was subtle, controlled. Precise.
The warmth that followed wasn’t like the adrenaline rush of a fight, nor the heat of pain. It was something deeper. A quiet restoration. A steady, undeniable mending.
Jin inhaled sharply as he felt the pain in his ribs melt away, the tight pull of torn muscles smoothing out like they had never been injured in the first place.
Across from him, Echo exhaled shakily, fingers curling as feeling returned to parts of his body that had been burning with strain just moments ago. The dull ache in his back, the tension in his arms—all of it vanished, leaving nothing but an odd, weightless relief.
Joon rolled his shoulders as if testing his range of motion. No more stiffness. No more pain. His knuckles, once split open from impact, were untouched now. As if the fight had never happened.
The process was seamless, almost unreal. Unlike potions or makeshift bandages, which left behind the sensation of lingering wounds, this felt... whole. As if nothing had ever been wrong.
Even the exhaustion faded.
It wasn’t just surface-level healing. It was like their bodies had been reset entirely.
Jin’s gaze flickered toward Eunhe’s face.
