What is the だって doing in this sentence and how should I be translating or
understanding it?




だって = でも , "even"

This sentence would appear to mean literally "So long as I continued to be in
the condition of a disciple of Daikai-oshinsama . . . even I was able to use
the power of revival/resurrection". Less literally "Even I, so long as I
remained a disciple of Daikai-oshinsama, retained the power of resurrection".
