The burst of fire that hist the creature was almost revitalizing to Damian. The warmth was comforting, but the flash from making contact with the monster's body made him fully alert of his situation.
He retreated a few yards from the battle clenching his broken rib. It had bee slightly displaced from the hit. He could feel where the bone should be connected but it was not. He would have to set the bone before he could heal the fracture otherwise he would have to rebreak it later.
When he was safely out of range he dropped his sword and grabbed his rib with both hands. He pulled with his left and pushed the end of his rib in with his right. The pain was even greater than when it was broken. It took every ounce of willpower to keep himself from screaming. A few seconds felt like forever until finally he heard a snap as the bone fell into place.
The pain was still there but not nearly as bad as it had been a moment before. He had to heal himself fast in order to be able to join back into the fight. He did not have enough time to completely heal the injury so he would have to fight in pain.
His right hand began to glow and he placed it over his chest. He could feel the crack fading away. When is was healed enough to allow him to function he picked up hi blade and stood.
With a flick of his wrist the blade burst into flames at his side. He charged forward and swung his sword at the creature throwing fire into its back.
