Radhaan's eyes widened, his instincts fully kicking in.
He tried to retreat back a few hundred meters, trying to elementalise again, but before he could even make a conscious thought of doing that, his body grew sluggish.
Radhaan's face darkened, turning around just to see—
Johan's body, frozen in mid-air, slowly—each and every muscle stitching itself back to perfection.
First organs, then red flesh, then smooth skin, and slowly, the grinning face of Johan, looking extremely high, as if he were high from the air itself, laughing loudly to himself while staring dazedly at the dark roof of the cave.
He could've regenerated instantly, but was constantly stopping it to make sure Radhaan fell for it.
Another thing was, due to him having fatal injuries, he could've actually died if he lost consciousness. The regeneration wasn't automatic, so the injuries wouldn't have disappeared.
