《Earth´s awakening》End of the intruders
Advertisement
Black blood was flowing from the wounds all around Jordan´s body, from the stump where previously was his right hand, there was a small stream of it.
With his blurred vision, Jordan crawled one centimeter at a time and tried to make his way to the dead bodies from the battle between the beasts and the humans.
Jordan wanted to order his beasts to bring him some but he couldn't, his throat was destroyed and he had absolutely no mana left, and to make matters worse his second heart was cracked and almost didn't even pump.
The conductors all around his body were cracked and were constantly leaking mana, there wasn't much mana to leak but any mana that was beyond the concentration in the air was just pushed out of Jordan´s body, the body couldn't effectively gain nutrients from mana and thus was unable to stop itself from the destruction caused by the transformation.
Soon Jordan will bleed out if he does nothing, he stopped crawling, and instead, he tried to push the pain away while he focused on the mana around and inside his body, he grabbed on any pieces of mana he found and formed the smallest bundle of first phase mana, with this he infused himself in it and partially entered the state where he could move around as wisp of mana and manipulate the mana around.
Jordan focused as hard as he could but the pain and pieces of meat that kept falling off his body were continuously distracting him, still, on about the third try he managed to successfully infuse himself and created a tiny wisp of mana.
He couldn't completely infuse himself only partially, his focus was split making everything even harder, to use this opportunity Jordan immediately got to work, he collected bits of mana from the air and started to strangle the stump that was his right hand.
By strangling it with the raw mana Jordan significantly slowed the bleeding, next he made the raw mana change element and created an ice rope that kept the arm from bleeding, like that Jordan continued to fill up all the bigger cuts and holes that were being created in his body.
It wasn't easy but Jordan slowed the bleeding enough to stop the immediate danger, now to deal with the body that keeps falling apart. ´I need fuel… as much of it as possible´ mana would do but the centers of power from beasts or humans would be even better now.
For now, Jordan decided to improvise and created a barrier from mana around his second heart, he manually pushed mana through the barrier, and forcefully started his mana gathering again.

The three-layered sphere inside his second heart did not attract any mana it leaked it instead, all the conductors that were keeping the sphere inside his second heart badly burned, even if Jordan survive, he may become crippled.
That's why Jordan created the barrier around his center of power, the barrier, and the mana he manually pushed in kept the sphere bathed in mana, and hopefully, the sphere will start to properly attract mana and refine it otherwise Jordan will have to find other solution.
´I don't have time for thinking about the future, this will have to do!´
With this crisis over Jordan once again began crawling, he could hear all his beasts still attacking the white barrier, suddenly the corpse of a human dropped before Jordan, it was Max!
The beast in the third phase with ice and wind elements was the beast Jordan used as a mount, it looks like Max is smart and loyal enough to help on his own.
Jordan looked up and with a faint smile he thanked Max, he didn't have strength for more, he just moved to the human and began eating, he didn't care about his humanity anymore, only when someone is in a safe place can they have such naïve thoughts.
Jordan ate and ate and ate, a few of his shark-like fangs fallen off while he ate but he didn't stop, slowly he made it halfway through the human and finally he felt he has enough strength to at least crawl.
Jordan crawled from corpse to corpse and ate the centers of power of the beasts and humans that lived there. The mana he absorbed from the corpses would normally be sitting around his stomach waiting for a technique to be used to advance in the circle was now send straight away to the barrier around his center of power.
Very slowly the bath of mana Jordan created for his center of power started working, Jordan was now confident enough to start initial treatment of his center of power, he took a bit of mana he digested from someone´s brain and infused it with the meaning of recovery then he sends the mana to his second heart inside the barrier.
The energy, that Jordan absorbed from the hearts of normal beasts and awakened humans which had a heart as the center of power was absorbed by Jordan´s body, the body devoured every bit and used it to stop the degradation and mended the flesh.
Still to regrow his right hand and the eyeball that Jordan lost there would be needed for much more of the energy or the recovery might take a quite long time.

Finally, Jordan stood up, around him there were half-eaten corpses of the beasts and humans that fought there, one angel could be also seen. Only Max stood there together with few goblins that were nervously fidgeting around, Max was looking at Jordan with worried eyes and in the distance, there could be heard growling and barking of the beasts.
It looks like the angels used the barrier to escape and are still on their way to leave the camp,
´I should try to stop them… but what can I do? I can hardly stand… I lost a hand and all the mana I can use will amount to two or three first circles spell… still I should at least look how it is´
Before Jordan called Max he decided to check the damage on himself, first from the elbow down missing right arm, second missing eye, third pieces of flesh fell off from his body, fourth-most of his bones are broken, fifth his center of power might collapse at any moment if he decides to probe it or use it and those were only the more serious injuries.
Quite serious damage for using the transformation ability, ´I can understand while there isn't any Harold demon, if they used the transformation ability when they were in the same rank as me, they would probably die afterward… ´
But still, Jordan was a bit lucky, if he used the transformation ability when he had full mana the outcome would be much worse.
The damage was caused because the mana transformed his body, the more mana the transformation uses the bigger changes there are, for example, if he used all his mana the backslash from the reverting back would make his body collapse to a ball of flesh.
´I will need much more training to handle the ability… but is it worth it? Whatever not really a good time to think about it´
Jordan moved onto Max and finally realized, ´I am butt naked´ the transformation destroyed all his cloth. Still, there was no time, Jordan just checked that his friend didn't fall off and rode on Max´s back, he was going to check how are the two angels but joining the fight in his condition is impossible.
Max brought Jordan about a hundred meter from the fight, the two angels were still in the white dome but the dome was continuously shrinking, now the dome was 5 meters (16 ft) at best, the dome repelled any beasts or monster from getting in while the angel with the spear was poking any beasts that made it close to the edge.
Even across the distance, Jordan could see how badly the angel who kept the barrier looked, white blood all over his face, the wings that were once majestic were now plucked and only a few feathers were left.
The only reason the angels were still alive was that the beasts and monsters kept fighting between one another, without a set leader they didn't bother to complete orders, they just saw the angels and wanted to kill them and that was all.
At least the goblins were different, they kept the last order in mind and attacked the angels but it was halfhearted, it looked like theirs leader is dead so once it's confirmed they will run away.
Even if some of the goblins were loyal to Jordan, they were not skillful at treatment at all, at best they would make things worse.
Seeing the situation Jordan knew he has to do something, even if that something will just act, Jordan told Max what to do and prepared himself for action, hopefully, he won´t die from that little show.
Max run and jumped on one family house near the area where the fight was happening, with a majestic shout he attracted all the attention, on the back, there was Jordan who kept strengthening himself with the first circle mana from the air just to sit straight and not look like a zombie.
Jordan infused his horns with all the first circle mana from the air he could collect and shouted
"ATTACK THEM! CAST SPELLS, THROW ROCKS, DON'T STOP UNTIL THEY ARE DEAD!" it took a moment to get across but first the goblins shouted "ARRH" and then the beasts and other monster got in as well. They all attacked, and the white dome started flickering.
It wasn't long before Jordan could hear "YOU DEMON SC-"
After that little stunt, Jordan quickly left and found a random house to hide in, laying on a bed he checked several wounds on his body that had reopened... but it looks like all the angels that invaded are finally dead.

If you are new, don't worry too much about the first step of the series. Truly, this second part aims to cover most of what was done there. Those that have read it will know a few secrets and plot points before we see them. Though it shouldn't detract from your reading of this one. Honestly, the first one was a bit rough, but do as you will. I will warn that this will tackle some serious topics and might end up getting rather explicit in terms of what is done or seen by the characters. There is a bit to cover, so I'll explain what I can between chapters without overloading anyone, hopefully. -Cover Art drawn by Cozie [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
