The message is still waiting in front of my eyes.
[Reveal your name before the Goddess.]
I ignore it.
Veric is a few yards behind me.
Crossing the hall to him feels harder now that Drifter Mode is gone. My body is still sending me the bill for the OXI I burned against the laser, but that's a simple problem. A few candies or an LDP, rest, and food would fix it.
Veric's arm won't.
Zhang Xi has already finished what she could do by the time I reach them. The laser cauterized the wound in the same instant it pulverized the limb, so there isn't the pool of blood that would normally come with an amputation. Suzanoo's Love repaired the tissue around the shoulder, stabilized the shock, and closed anything that could still threaten his life.
Physically, Veric is out of danger.
The word "physically" is doing a lot of work in that sentence.
