John and Ella got near Lucas in a hurry.
Luckily for Lucas, after getting blasted by the mutt, he was in the cover of a tree that was now burning. He was still hit full-on by the fireball's aftermath but still got protected by a little due to nature's kindness.
"John, his condition is worse than critical, I don't know how he is still alive..." Ella said with a very pale expression as if she had seen a ghost and lost the blood in her face by being scared.
"Don't say that, please... Heal him quick Ella." John was worried like a dad and Ella was the same, she just knew the situation better than him by being over-sensitive to what was going on in Lucas's body.
Lucas's whole back was burnt completely and his protective skin was all gone. The hair on his head from the back was gone and it was not the problem, the problem was the burns on his head and how the wound was pulsating and bleeding.
