"Leave tending the roots to the people from the Tenryou Commission and the Yashiro Commission."
"Come on. Let's keep investigating the Rifthounds and the damage to the Sacred Sakura Roots."
Ei glanced at the damaged Sacred Sakura Roots as she spoke.
"Wait a moment."
Ellin walked up to the damaged Sacred Sakura Roots.
"There are a few things I'm curious about. I'd like to try something."
As she spoke, Ellin crouched down. The demon god core within her trembled slightly, and seven colors of elemental energy merged in her hand, forming a ball of white light.
The white light wasn't dazzling. Its glow was gentle and soothing.
Holding the ball of white light, she gently pressed it against the Sacred Sakura Roots.
Something miraculous happened.
The white light was as warm and gentle as sunlight. Once it touched the Sacred Sakura Roots, the mysterious power within it nourished them like a gently flowing stream.
The damaged roots actually returned to their original condition at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"What is this power!?"
Ei was puzzled and astonished.
Ellin shook her head. "I don't know what this power is, either."
"Before my demon god core gathered all seven types of elemental energy, this fused white light seemed only capable of breaking objects down into their [origin] state."
"But after my demon god core gathered all seven types of elemental energy, I was surprised to discover that the white light I produced through fusion also had the power to perform [reconstruction] on certain objects."
Ellin frowned slightly. To be honest, this wasn't the first time she had sensed the power of [reconstruction].
Back when she was exorcising spirits with Chongyun, she had used this white light to stabilize the soul of the infant spirit haunting the wealthy Liu Qingyi.
