Liliana - Unholy Healing

Yet the arrow was never the true threat. Striking the Citadel, the arrow unleashed a spirit of its own: a Skalla wolf that leapt past and through the Onakke and ripped into Liliana’s left arm, mauling her badly.

The Onakke regathered and attempted to hold the wolf spirit at bay—giving both Jaya and Vivien the opportunity to try again. The Onakke blocked most of these attacks, but thanks to Teferi the assaults seemed to be coming faster and faster, with more than a few getting by the spirits and doing significant, though not yet mortal, damage.

Liliana was burned. Liliana was pierced. Liliana was torn. Liliana was failing. Jace stifled the urge to save her. With a slight wave of her good right arm, she sacrificed multiple flying Eternals, throwing their bodies into the paths of flame, arrow and spirit beasts. By using the Veil, she drained other Eternals, applying the energies of their unholy resurrections toward healing her wounds almost as she was receiving them.

She had been singed by Jaya’s flames, the blackened skin peeling away from muscle and fat tissue. There was an arrow sticking out of her right shoulder blade. And those damn beasts had badly mauled her left arm and right leg—and taken a substantial chunk out of her neck, just barely missing any major veins or arteries.

She ignored them, reaching past their offer to summon the power of the Veil directly. With it, she drained the animus from two nearby Eternals. They practically melted before her. Lazotep coatings clinked against Citadel stone, but the bodies contained within were soon rigid with morbidity, splayed in rag-doll poses. She used their energy as a healing force, repairing her neck first, since it seemed to pose the biggest threat, and her chest second, since the burn caused the most pain—though of course the moment that skin healed over, the pain from her leg and arm became almost as excruciating.
