Mera stood tall on the wall watching Sablethorn army go down hill and within minutes disappearing on the horizon. The sun was finally up giving her a new hope for the future. She let out a sigh of relief but there was one more person she was worried about.
" Those sons of bitches! It's good that they turned back or else I might have smashed their head." Alastair puffed up his chest. He was completely capable but inside he too was relieved. There was no telling what would happen if they were to really attack their tiny village.
Mera scoffed as she looked at the man flying in the air, she turned back to see how Noah was doing but she saw him laying flat on the ground without any sign of moving. Tang was by his side, yelling at villagers for supplies but there were too many people injured.
Many of them didn't even notice the army leaving, they were tending to their loved ones and no one seemed to be dead. At least she would people howling and weeping if that were to happen.
Still she rushed to Noah's side while thinking about these things and saw the horrifying scene of his body being skewered with arrows.
" Someone bring me some hot water and some clean rags!" It's good that Tang didn't decide to pull out the arrows, it would have lead to him losing all his blood in few minutes.
She somewhat expected him to be conscious throwing jokes her way but his face was pale and with how low his breathing was, he was in critical condition. She made a decision and knew that she would have to utilize most of her powers just to have a chance to save him.
His arms were bent in obsence way while he also seemed to have a broken ankle, it looked much worse than how he came here!
Just as she tried to touch him a firewall blocked her way, lightening around and engulfing both Noah and Tang.
" I will kindly ask you to tend to my disciples first. I didn't save people here so that you would leave them to die." She heard Flame emperor levitating over her head commanding her in his usual domineering tone.
" You Bastard-"
" Mast...er.." They both heard a weak girl's voice. Flame emperor immediately descended and landed right beside Cyra. Seeing at how badly her leg was damaged, he began to have doubt whether she would be able to walk ever again!
" It's okay, child. I will make sure your leg is healed." His voice faltered seeing her in such a weakened state. It only strengthened his resolve to force Mera to heal his pupils first. He never met her but she had a reputation to heal anything. Why not put that to the test?
He flicked his hand and turned around, Bijan who was on the other side of the lake was completely unconscious but his body started levitating. It too was enveloped in golden hue barrier before he flung his hand to bring him toward him, resting him gently beside Cyra.
He didn't look that good also but his vitals were intact and someone had done first aid on him which thankfully stopped his bleeding. He was hurt all over his body so he might have died if he was not tended to quickly.
Mera could see they too were in critical condition especially Cyra. If the blood in her leg was not restored, there was little chance she would be able to walk normally. Mera could attach the leg but she wasn't able to bring back dead tissues which would make her leg akin to a fancy prostatic at best.
" Heal them first or I will burn them to crisp!" The old man roared again.
Alastair who was watching from the sidelines came to her daughter's defence. He was worried the old man would lash out and burn his daughter in fury.
As Mera was debating, Noah grunted regaining consciousness again.
" Fucking....hell... I feel...like I might die again." He almost chuckled feeling the unbearable pain all over his body. He could see three of them standing around him as well as Tang who was still trying hard to stop his bleeding.
He could feel the powerful magic encapsulating his entire body like he was in some sauna or steam room. He already heard them debating about it what to do.
" Noah.. are you alright?" Mera was more surprised to see him awake. It was her second time getting shocked by how resilient his body was.
" I...am...good...heal them first. It will be...best for the...village." He said and gave her a little smile.
Mera was flabbergasted, there was something about his unyielding willpower that kept him going even when he was on the brink of death.
" What are you waiting for?" Old man exclaimed seeing her mindlessly looking at Noah. It's not like he didn't care about what Noah said but he had his priorities straight. He didn't care who died as long as his pupils lived!
Mera sighed again and started operating on Cyra first. People had already brought out needed supplies while those that were unhurt came to help her. They had to make sure there was no foreign object, it could get lodged up inside during the healing process.
Noah watched for a few second before his eyes began to get heavy again. He lost consciousness again and one of the last views were, Mera's impressive figure as she was bending over to treat others.
" She really has the most impressive bottom..." He thought before slipping into a dream again. It's that he never thought that he spoke his mind out loud making a bold statement about the village chief for everyone to hear!
