Though brilliant divine light continued to cascade down over the man’s broken form, he remained unconscious.
His injuries were far too severe. One of his arms had been severed, his side had been torn open, his organs were spilling out, and he had lost a tremendous amount of blood. It would take more time for him to stabilize.
