章節 215: Come Out On Top

It seemed so stupid, the idea that a single contact would have any sort of impact on my level of power.

Then again, if you had asked me even three years ago if I thought it was possible for humans to develop powers or to be able to heal through touch, I would have had you committed.

Might as well take the chance.

What was really the worst that could happen?

I struggled to control my body while still inside the tree.

"I can't," I muttered after a minute. I had no way of taking my hand or forehead off of the tree. It was like I was stuck.

"Turn your head," murmured Rip, still sounding far away.

I did what he asked and rotated my head enough to the right so he could take out the contact. Ignoring the pain as he had to physically open my eye, I shook off his apology. The pain was nothing more than a momentary flash, but what happened next would be something I would never forget.
