Floating Island - Triple S Talent

Chapter 340 Budi's healing powers, trying the ascension ladder

Hana, still hovering in the air slightly above the Ascension Stairs, shifted her gaze as a dimensional rift appeared beside her. From within the rift, a young man with green hair and a long green robe emerged slowly. He appeared calm, his smile friendly, but there was an aura of strength about him that commanded respect from anyone below.

The young man stood tall, his eyes scanning the scene below. The fallen people, the eerie silence—he took it all in with extraordinary composure. With a light step, he approached Hana and spoke, his voice as gentle as a flowing stream.

"Sister, why did you call me?" He glanced at the ground, his expression remaining neutral despite the scene that might shock ordinary people.

"Budi, help me heal them and restore their strength to normal," Hana said casually, though her tone clearly carried an instruction.

Budi nodded obediently. Without hesitation, he extended his right hand, summoning his healing magic. The environment around Budi began to change. Green energy emerged like a gentle breeze, swirling and forming a faint pattern resembling a great tree.

The tree appeared as though it were alive, though it was clearly just a manifestation of aura. The shimmering green leaves and roots stretched toward the ground as if searching for the wounded souls.

Budi moved his hands, and the tree's aura gently extended toward the bodies lying on the ground. One by one, color returned to their faces, their stiff limbs began to move, and their shallow breaths grew steady.

Those standing beyond the 50-meter radius watched the entire process with faces full of awe. They couldn't take their eyes off the glowing green tree, as if they were witnessing a miracle from another world.

"Thank goodness Lord Budi arrived," said the old man Zai, tears streaming down his face. His earlier prayers had been answered, and now he witnessed the victims being revived thanks to the young man's presence.

"Take pictures quickly!" a reporter shouted to their colleague.

"It's so rare to see two core members in one place." With urgency, they captured photos and videos, striving to immortalize this extraordinary moment.

Flashes from cameras danced in the air, as though trying to capture every detail of Budi's healing aura.

Budi directed the green tree's aura toward a man whose body appeared extremely pale. His skin was almost translucent, his eyes tightly shut, and his grayish lips showed how dire his condition was. The green aura moved slowly, as if searching for a way to save the man's life.

The glowing green leaves fell from the tree's aura branches, drifting softly like feathers in the wind. As soon as they touched the man's body, their green hue brightened, emitting a sparkle like gemstones. The green light from the leaves enveloped the pale man's body, gradually restoring his natural skin tone.

The leaves eventually disappeared after emitting their final brilliant glow, as if absorbed by the man's body. Moments later, his body trembled slightly, and his eyes opened slowly, revealing a gaze that was confused yet full of life. With a small effort, he tried to rise, though his movements were still weak.

"Where am I?" he asked in a soft but clear voice.

His body felt energized, but his mind was still foggy, trying to make sense of his surroundings. He turned toward the green tree aura, which was now moving toward other bodies lying on the ground.

The man then looked up, his eyes focusing on a woman in a formal shirt hovering in the air. Beside her stood a young man with green hair, surrounded by an aura of green light radiating life energy.

"Lady Hana? Lord Budi?" the man murmured, his voice tinged with confusion.

He tried to piece together what was happening, but everything felt like fragments of an incomplete puzzle.

"Eren... you're awake!"

A soft voice filled with emotion broke through the man's confusion. From behind, a woman suddenly embraced him tightly, her body trembling with uncontrollable sobs.

The embrace was warm, but there was a lingering sense of desperation in her grip. The woman, Mia, poured her emotions into the hug without words, her tears falling onto Eren's shoulder. Her muffled sobs filled the air with a heavy tension, as though releasing all the burdens of worry that had finally been lifted. Explore new worlds at empire

"Mia, what's wrong?" Eren asked, his confusion deepening. He tried to recall what had happened before, but all he could remember was climbing the Ascension Stairs. Everything after that was blank.

"No… it's nothing. I'm just so glad you're awake," Mia replied, her voice hoarse yet filled with gratitude. She didn't elaborate further, simply continuing to give thanks within her embrace.

"Eren, you should thank Lady Hana and Lord Budi. If not for them, you might not be here anymore," Mia said as she released him. Her voice was serious, but her gaze conveyed profound gratitude.

Eren shifted his gaze around him. He saw the people who had been lying motionless now beginning to rise, their expressions relieved, and their bodies appearing stronger. The green tree aura continued to move, healing one person after another without pause, as though cradling each fading soul with renewed life.

Realizing the situation, Eren followed the actions of the others. They turned to face Hana and Budi, then bowed deeply. Words of gratitude echoed one after another, filling the air with genuine appreciation. Eren might not fully understand what had transpired, but he knew one thing—a miracle had just saved them all.

Moved by the actions of those around him, Eren slowly stood up. He turned toward Hana and Budi, who still hovered in the air. Filled with gratitude, he bowed deeply, mirroring the gestures of the others.

Mia stood beside him, copying his movement without hesitation. Her voice was soft yet firm as she spoke in unison with Eren, "Thank you for your kindness, Lady Hana, Lord Budi."

Afterward, the two of them straightened up again. Without saying much, they walked toward the outer area, their steps calm but filled with relief. Eren decided to find a place to rest for a while, trying to make sense of everything that had happened to him.

"All done, Sis," Budi said from the air, his voice light yet carrying a sense of satisfaction. He had completed his work. Everyone who had been lying weak was now healed and standing, ready to continue their lives.

"Thank you," Hana said, her voice soft but sincere. As fellow core members, they shared a close bond of cooperation. Helping each other was not just an obligation but something they did wholeheartedly.

"You're welcome, Sis," Budi replied, turning his gaze toward the majestic Ascension Stairs in the distance. The structure rose high, as if trying to reach the sky.

Budi fell silent for a moment, his eyes fixed on the stairs. The cold wind blowing around them seemed to add to the air of mystery. The unseen peak of the stairs appeared to hold secrets that could only be reached by those brave enough to try.

"Incredibly high," Budi murmured in awe. Even though he was a grandmaster with strength far above average, the stairs still left him in wonder. He knew he could reach the top in just a few breaths, but the sheer height still left a deep impression.

"Sis, may I try it?" he asked Hana. There was a hint of curiosity in his voice. As a grandmaster, there were no restrictions preventing him from attempting to conquer the stairs, and he felt this was an intriguing opportunity.

"Go ahead… I'm curious too," Hana replied with a slight nod. Even she, usually calm and composed, felt drawn to the presence of these stairs. There was an inexplicable allure, as if the stairs were calling them to test their limits.
