Raven suddenly got up and took out a puppet that looked exactly like him. Luke and Barrett were hesitating and cautious so they didn't attack him immediately.
"What's he doing? That's his puppet, right?!" Luke thought, grabbing a few more bottles from his backpack, just in case.
"Don't go near him, he's doing something" Barrett whispered.
Luke nodded and carefully watched Raven.
Raven started to sew the puppet using a needle and thread, which slowly started to heal his own mouth and body as well. In a matter of seconds, his mouth and body had healed.
"To think that your explosions would so powerful that it would reach my puppet, causing me to get damaged" Raven said, putting his puppet back in his pocket.
"However, even though your explosion ability might be impressive, it has disappointed me." Raven said, taking out a puppet that looked like Luke, the needle already in his hand. "I have seen enough, it's time for me to retaliate."

Jackson was bleeding all over.
There were several deep slashes on his chest, stomach and back, which was most likely done by a scythe. And as if that wasn't enough, Ronx had also managed to land a couple of powerful punches.
"You are strong" Ronx said to Ella.
"Well, I had once defeated Alex in a fight so I am not exactly average, you see" Ella replied while heavily breathing, her expressions serious and her eyes locked onto Jackson, prepared to dodge any attack.
"I'll admit it" Jackson said. "You both are strong."
"But I am stronger" Jackson said, appearing right in front of Ella and landing a powerful slash, cutting open her stomach.
Jackson then lifted the axe, preparing to land yet another slash but before that could happen, a sword slashed him. It wasn't Ronx's sword, it was a solider that was made out of blood. A soldier with it's own will.
"Shit, it's his awakened powers again!" Jackson thought, turning behind and trying to punch soldier but the punch went right through it. And as soon as Jackson brought his arm to the original position, he noticed that his arm was covered in massive amounts of blood. "I can't even attack it! It is entirely made out of blood, in fact, it's like a liquid that has taken form of a soldier!"
Ronx smirked, impressed by his new powers. "I guess now that I have awakened, I can create living things out of blood too. Not only that but my previous abilities have gotten far stronger and evolved."
"Just like this!" Ronx screamed, gathering a large amount of blood and making it float in the air and then proceeding to harden it, forming a massive hammer. Ronx charged at Jackson and jumped in the air, the hammer right above Jackson's head, about to crush it.
Jackson dodged the attack but as it seemed that the hammer was going to touch the ground, it transformed into a straight line of blood right in the last second. The line of blood then proceeded to curve towards Jackson, piercing his foot. "Shit! I can't predict it! It's as if his powers have a mind of their own!"
Before Jackson could even recover, several more straight lines appeared behind him along with Ella, who had her scythe ready. But as the attacks were approaching him, his lips formed into an evil grin.
Just before the straight lines of blood and Ella's attack could land, he switched himself with Ella, making her be in the place of Jackson, causing all of the attacks to pierce her instead. Furthermore, Jackson had her scythe in his hands since he switched with her.
So he split the scythe in half using his axe. "I hope you don't mind having no weapon."
Suddenly, instead of Ella breaking down or panicking, she grabbed something from her pocket and threw it towards Jackson. However, before the object could hit Jackson, he noticed that it was a pocket knife aimed for his head. Jackson formed a evil smile again and switched himself with Ronx. "Game over" He thought.
But to his surprise, Ronx managed to dodge the knife by ducking below. "H-How?! I made sure to switch once the knife was only a few centimeters away from my head?!"
"Fine. You both are getting on my nerves now" Jackson said, switching his axe and Ronx's heart, causing Ronx's heart to be right in his hand while his own axe to be switched in the spot of Ronx's heart.
Which should have killed him within seconds but miraculously, Ronx still was alive and breathing.
Jackson went pale. He hadn't felt this shocked since his fight with Kenji. "I have your heart in my hands! How can you still be alive?!"
Ronx himself was surprised at seeing his own heart in Jackson's hands. He went pale, thinking he will die in a few seconds but when it didn't happen, he realized what had happened. "The heart circulates the blood throughout the body but my awakened blood manipulation is already doing the job of a heart."
Jackson widened his eyes and his skin went as pale as it could. He started to scratch his hair aggressively with both of his hands. "Shit! Shit! Shit! How come of all people, you were the one who got awakened?! Why you! Why couldn't it be me! After all of the pain I went through in the rotting peninsula, killing god-level creatures one by one endlessly!"
"You should have went for the brain instead" Ronx said, creating more soldiers by generating blood and forming them into soldiers.
Jackson paused for a second and his evil smiled returned once again. "You are right! I might as well do that now!"
"You won't have the chance to" Ronx said, muttering a few words."Realm of Traumatic procedure"
