Chapter 793 Rocky Awakening
Waiting for his death to come, the pilot closed his eyes and shook in fear. But death never came.
No pain, no blood, no cracking bones. Nothing.
Opening one eye tentatively, he realized the creature was still right before him, maw wide open, but something wasn't right.
It was shaking in place, almost like it couldn't go further.
One of its eyes had gone from pitch black with a vivid red iris to a regular white eye, but with a bright golden iris.
"NO!" another trilling voice left its mouth, this one more high-pitched.
The creature jumped back, suddenly grabbing its head and screeching.
The pilot felt something pull in his chest, like a part of him was being torn away. It hurt like crazy; the pain sending him into shock and passing out.
The creature shrieked several times before its head snapped away from the plane.
In its almost all-blue vision, another red spot had appeared.
Far away in the distance, a pack of something had started moving, most likely reacting to his shrieking, and they were exuding a lot of heat.
Dashing forward without a second thought, the creature reached the pack of unsuspecting beasts in mere seconds. And the next second, one of them fell, its head falling further away.
Ripping and snapping echoed as the corpse of the animal shook.
The following day, Alex woke up feeling mentally rested, but his body ached for some reason.Ñ00v€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.
Feeling the wind on his face, he frowned as he opened his eyes.
"Where is that wind coming from?" he wondered as he sat up.
That was when he noticed the massive brown corpse next to him. Or rather, what was left of it.
Looking down at his hand, he saw blood on them, as well as all over him. He could even feel the sticky feeling of it drying on his face.
"What in God's name happened here?!" he exclaimed.
He started looking around, noticing he was no longer in his little stone shelter, and nothing was around him besides this corpse.
By the size of it, as well as the fur, he surmised it was a Musk Ox. But it got there, or even how he got there, he had no idea.
'Ahem,' Geminae's voice echoed in his head.
Alex's head snapped toward him, a sliver of hope in his eyes.
"Where is he?" he asked.
"About a mile east of here. He needs first aid. He had something in his abdomen and was bleeding. We might need to burn up his wound so he doesn't bleed out before a rescue team gets to him."
Alex nodded his head, leaving the soul space immediately.
As he refocused on his surroundings, Alex looked at the sky. It was a cloudy day, and finding the sun wasn't easy.
But he still managed and oriented himself east.
Focusing on his back, he forced out Geminae's wings and took off toward the plane crash.
He reached it in seconds, flying blazingly fast, and landed next to it.
In the aircraft, he saw the man whose face was deathly pale. Touching his neck to feel his pulse, he felt a weak response.
'Good. He isn't dead,' he thought.
lightsnοvεl But he was in terrible shape.
There was still a metal railing pierced through his stomach, and blood pooled around it. And by the amount, there wasn't much left inside the man.
Alex did the first thing he could think of and lit his hands on fire.
Geminae's body was more resilient than a human's, so the flames barely heated his hands up. This allowed him to grab the metal railing and super-heat it, causing the wound to sizzle and fume a couple of seconds before he let go.
'That should at least cauterize it...' he thought.
But he was still left with the issue of him being practically on death's door.
With the cold of the open bay and the lack of blood in his veins, if blood loss didn't claim his life, hypothermia would.
"Geminae. Tell me you can help him live," Alex said, looking slightly panicked.
After a moment of silence, Geminae replied.
'Let me control your body. I can help, but I can only do it if I'm in full control.'
Alex froze in place.
"Excuse me?"
