Nox's face was white and there was a sheen of sweat on it, terror and pain and exhaustion clear in his eyes. He needed a hospital, now. He helped the man stand and let him lean on him and the dog while Ivan pulled the power into him, as much as he could possibly hold. Curious. It was more than before. He felt full. Large. Powerful, like when he was pumped after a hard workout, his muscles filled to bursting, feeling as if they might explode and rip through his skin at any moment. It was a delicious pain and he savored it even as his senses expanded more, the room brightening, the rot and blood and death filling his nostrils and mouth.
Ivan breathed deeply and unleashed the flows and flames burst from all the dead creatures, a burst of super heated air at the change in temperature and pressure blowing against him. He fed more of the power into the flames, tying them off. They would be ash very soon. A grimace flashed across the bubble in his mind. Yun got what she wanted. Zara and Danya were safe.
Nox stumbled and fell and Ivan was there at once, helped him to remove the bloody shirt. "Get the dog, Lih. And Nox's bag." His voice was emotionless. He pulled Nox to his feet, his remaining arm around his shoulder and neck, Ivan's hand around his waist and gripping the top of his pants. "I got you Nox. You'll be ok."
Even with his support walking, Nox was weak. Finally, the man collapsed but Ivan kept his knees from hitting the ground. Instead, He swung around and easily hoisted Nox up onto his shoulders in a fireman carry. Weight evenly distributed now, Ivan could walk normally, quickly. The limp man's arm swung and bumped his holstered gun as he moved walked. "Lead us out of here, Lih. He needs a hospital."
He didn't intend to let the man die of shock. Not as long as he had any say in it.
