"She even used [Cleansing]."
The reaction was immediate.
Both Irina and Julia's eyebrows rose in unison, but Julia was the first to speak.
"Wait, what?"
Irina remained silent, her smirk fading into something more thoughtful.
Julia, on the other hand, looked genuinely surprised. "She really used [Cleansing]? Not just a partial purification, but an actual full state removal?"
"Yep," Ethan confirmed, crossing his arms. "She got rid of Carl's [Gravity Command] like it was nothing. I was getting pulled straight into his range, and the next second? Gone. I could move again."
Julia let out a low whistle. "Hah. That's… kind of insane, actually." She turned to Irina, her expression shifting slightly. "You knew she could do that?"
Irina's smirk returned, but this time, there was a glint in her eyes that hadn't been there before. "I had my suspicions."
Lilia didn't react outwardly, but inwardly, her mind was still working.
'[Cleansing].'
