Lord of the Time: I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Dunn glanced at his companions, one after another. Then he raised one of his hands reluctantly. "I would rather die fighting than get eaten by one of those bastards."

'Huh... Didn't expect this guy to have guts.'

Caleb couldn't help but smile as he heard Dunn's answer.

Fushigiro nodded, then looked at the other members one by one.

"How about you guys? I know it's dangerous. But it's better than waiting for our death here."

"No need to say anything. I'm in." Jin shrugged and narrowed his eyes with a faint smile on his face.

"Me too..." x3

Seeing this, Miles smiled warily. Then he looked at Tamasai, Fushigiro, and Jin, and felt reassured. As long as those guys were beside them. He felt a lot safer.

"Let's go then?" Caleb asked. He felt lethargic at present because of his broken arm. The ache and the intense pain were eating his sanity.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at his arm, limped like a dead dog beside him and he couldn't even raise it. It drastically affected his shoulder and arm mobility. He sighed depressedly. 'It might take a month for this to fully recover. How unlucky...'

As a trained killer who was trained by his hitman father. His knowledge of anatomy came from an information age where most parts of the body had already been discovered. Humerus, the upper arm bone, that extends from the shoulder to the elbow, was fractured. It can take several weeks to several months to heal, depending on the location and severity of the fracture. Of course, he would recover faster because his body has reached the peak of humans and he also has the taboo energy to shorten his recovery. It might not be that much, but it helps.

But not's the worst... Radius and Ulna, two bones in the forearm were in a mess. A broken forearm bone can take several weeks to heal, usually around 6-8 weeks. Then there's also the Wrist Bones, also known as Carpals. The wrist is composed of multiple small carpal bones.

Fractured Carpal Bone recovery time varies depending on the specific bone and the type of fracture, but can take several weeks to months. Unfortunately, his carpal bones took a serious load from the weight of the finger of the Apokalip.

Caleb felt a headache at this. How would he supposed to fight effectively with such grave injury? This further let him understand how dangerous the Apokalip they faced. It was already lucky for him to still have his entire body intact... No; he was lucky to be alive! After all, he was just one step away from being turned into a puddle of mush, had the entire palm of the Abomination managed to slap him to death like a mosquito.

Not only him, but the other members of the hunting party had also suffered varying degrees of injuries. From light strain to broken bones, that would also take time to heal. Even their captain have his suffered injuries in his sternum and ribs when he deliberately caught the spear-like tail of the Apokalip with his chest.

The sternum is a flat bone located in the center of the chest. It consists of three parts: the manubrium, the body, and the xiphoid process. The sternum serves as an anchor for the ribs and protects the heart and lungs.

There are 12 pairs of ribs in the human chest, making a total of 24 ribs. Ribs are long, curved bones that wrap around the thoracic cavity. They attach to the thoracic vertebrae in the spine at the back and connect to the sternum in the front. Ribs provide protection for the heart and lungs. Fushigiro told them that seven of the ribs in his chest were dislodged. Even then, Caleb hasn't seen him show an expression of pain, not even once.

Just recalling the badass scene of Fushigiro's move made Caleb hold his breath. After all, that scene could only be seen in movies and anime in his past life.

...

'It's as if an earthquake has hit this particular area.' Caleb looked at the dilapidated house in front of him, which looked familiar and unfamiliar at the same time. Rubles of stones and pieces of broken wood lay scattered all around.

He felt emotional seeing the wooden house from before turn into a pile of rubbles and debris. The stench of blood lingered in the and there were bits of pieces of flesh scattered around the house. A severed thumb, a piece of arm with blood flowing at its end, an eyeball near a flower, and even a male private part lay across the damaged wooden door.

'What a mess...'

A sigh escapes his mouth. It wasn't evening yet, but the clouds loomed above them. The presence of thick, dark clouds covering the sky. These clouds made the atmosphere even more gloomy.

He also felt the increase in humidity. The air feels moist. He even noticed his hair and his shirt were slightly damp. 'Is it about to rain?' he thought as he felt the wind around become faster, making the leaves of trees around dance.

Fushigiro and others just stared at the piles of debris with a downcast expression. The once they called 'Home' became unrecognizable.

BOOM!

A flash of lightning cut across the sky, followed by a loud thunderous sound shattered the silence like a glass shattering. Then drops of water fell to the members and the sound of continuous gentle pattering.

The mood of the hunting party was at its lowest. A bitter sigh escaped from Dunn's. As he watched the rain become more and more intense thunderous roar sounded in the backdrop.

Luna, Andre, Clifford, and Fatty held each other's hands as they looked at the house with tearful eyes. They knew that it was the last time they would see and they would have to escape soon. Their hope for the past few years... They have to say goodbye. Particularly, Andre. He looked at the house with the corners of his mouth droop, creating a noticeable frown. His lips were unnoticeably quivering.

'They are still kids after all.' Caleb sighed as he saw their slumped shoulders.

The members of the hunting party look better but Caleb could still see the reluctance in their eyes. No one spoke. Such a mood was quite contagious, so Caleb decided to just close his eyes and enjoy the relaxing sensation brought by the raindrops bathing him. After all, he didn't have much feeling about the house. He was from another world and hadn't spent much time living in it. It was a strange feeling. He was like a spectator, detached from the emotional scene around him.
