Legendary Shelter Survival Guide

"How did they all come here? The numbers were very high and it hasn't happened before." John said while shaking his hand. The icicles that he had to hold and shoot had made his hand numb from the cold.

"I don't know, we were just dissecting and getting the meat out of that," Sean said with an exhausted expression and pointed toward the big corpse of the big creature Lucas's mother sent for them which was luckily at the other end of the shelter in the left protected by the three of them and the defenses altogether.

"Oh hell... the smell of blood brought them here..." John said after slapping his hand on his forehead.

"Uh... Aunt Ella... I think I may need the healing now." Lucas muttered slowly but everyone heard him.

"Mom! Heal me too! See what happened!" Sean showed his mother the three scratches that did not even bleed much with panic as if something world-breaking had happened.

John looked at his boy with a complicated expression, while on one hand, a 19-year-old kid had his whole hand deformed with bones pointing in unnatural positions. On the other, his son was crying from a scratch that could heal in a day on its own and without even any medications.

"Sean, Look at his hand and if you think you need it first, do tell me." John pointed at Lucas's hand which was dripping blood.

"Don't worry, Uncle John, if it's urgent then I can get healing later," Lucas said and tore a small part of his shirt. He placed the cloth on his hand and tightened it with tehother hand and teeth's help before anyone could say anything.

"Ughh..." A grunt came out of his mouth but nothing after it.

Sean was already surprised and scared as to what made Lucas's hand like this.

"Lucas!? How did you get hurt this much?" Sarah had a pale expression and crouched down with Lucas. She placed her hand on his arm to give him her support.

"Haha... I was careless." Lucas said with a chuckle.

At this point, Ella was already close to Lucas and she started healing his hand without removing the cloth in order to keep the blood inside.

"It's not urgent, Aunt Ell-"

"Please stop it, Lucas... Sean can wait for the healing. Right, Sean...?" Ella said with her eyes furious while looking at Sean who got the hint.

"Y-Yes Lucas, you need it more than me," Sean said scared and embarrassed at the same time.

'No shit I need healing before you.' Lucas grumbled inwardly and had the urge to beat Sean to a pulp. A man could not be this selfish.

After three minutes, the wound had settled and Ella with the help of Sarah removed the cloth that made Lucas uncomfortable with an itch but it had to be done. Aside from the dried and fresh blood there, the wound had already closed but the hand was still mangled.

Ella had a concerned expression looking at the bones of the fingers that were at different angles.

"It's alright, Aunt Ella. I feel much better. And if you think you can't heal these bones then you are wrong. Let's start after a little time again." Lucas said while consoling her, he didn't want to make her feel stressed and panicked at a time like this.

"It's alright, you just lay low and let me do the work." Ella took the mana staff that was on the ground near Sarah and started healing again yet this time the intensity was higher.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The light that came out of her hand had brightened and no one could look at her hand at all due to the white light covering it like a beacon.

Lucas could tell from Ella's face that it was stressful but he knew this had to be fixed soon as he was one of the main fighters. If his hand kept being like this for a few days or hours, extra responsibilities would fall on John and he didn't want that.

After five minutes of continuous healing, beads of sweat were on her face and falling like tears. The weather was very pleasant so this happening was not normal. She was in a lot of strain.

POP!

"AAAHHH!!" Lucas couldn't hole his scream when one of his bones forced itself back to where it belonged making it very painful.

At a fast pace, John closed Lucas's mouth so that the screams won't make them in another danger when there were not ready.

"Keep your voice down, dude. We don't want anything els-"

"Shut up, Sean! If you speak again then I will break your legs." John finally snapped at Sean. Being unreasonable was sometimes normal but to be this selfish again and again would make anyone irritated, even the parents.

Even Ella who always looked at her boys with love had a frown on her face.

Lucas did not care about anything and only cared about what was going to happen again. It was only one finger that made him feel this much pain, he had to go through that three more times at unknown times.

After a minute, another Pop sound came from his hand that made Lucas slam his legs on the ground like a maniac. Everyone had a sad face looking at him. Even Sean who was only thinking about himself and his small wound felt like healing Lucas was the priority. The guy had his bones popping as if they were breaking again.

Every time his bones popped, the others had constricted faces thinking of the pain that followed with it. All this time, Lucas had not shed a single tear but finally, a small drop of tear came out of the side of his eye.

It did not make him embarrassed as the only thing he could think of was the pain that was taking place in his bones.

Another minute later, another bone popped but Lucas was ready for the one, not a single scream came out of his mouth and John was surprised at how Lucas as grinding his teeth.

Finally, all the bones were done and Ella had a feeling that the whole hand was fixed now.

Lucas sat straight and looked at his hand with a complicated expression.
