Biting into his arm to stop himself from screaming again, Jake was huffing and puffing like a woman about to give birth during her contractions. About 10 seconds later, he forced himself to attend to his gaping wound.
If the knee started to heal again before he had put every bone, ligament and tendon back in the right place, he would have literally broken his leg for nothing. He wasn't sure he wanted to go through this experience for a third time.
His Aether Vitality stat was close to 250 points thanks to the influence of the Myrmidian blood during the night of battle. The immediate consequence was that clotting occurred in less than 10 seconds for a small lesion.
It would take longer for a wound of this size, but he could still see the blood thickening and clumping to the surface of the wound before his very eyes. There was no time to waste!
