How did he manage to escape? How was he still alive?
Dominic adjusted his grip and gently laid Shiao Yi down on the bed.
When he reached for Shiao Yi's jacket, it crumbled like paper in his hands.
The skin underneath was covered in horrible burns and large blisters. Parts of it were darkened from internal bleeding, and some areas were still bleeding.
Even Shiao Yi's tough dark gray pants and black boots had been torn and burned in several places.
Dominic carefully removed the boots and reached for the belt.
It was an unusual belt, and he struggled to unfasten it.
But then he heard a small click, and the buckle popped open as if it had some hidden mechanism.
Just like the boots, the pants had small fasteners that came undone when he pulled them.
When the pants came off, it was clear his legs were just as badly hurt.
Using cleansing magic, Dominic cleaned away the blood and dirt. Then he began placing his hands over the burns and wounds.
