Boundary lay in a crater in the middle of the forest, seemingly unconscious. His dark body had taken most of the blast and he then focused all his aura in front of himself to deflect the rest of it, though the beam still hit him, sending him flying deep into the woods where his body lay now. His robe was in tatters, whatever delicate equipment was in it was most likely destroyed. His blades were not even scathed however, their intricate enchantments making them virtually indestructible. Boundary bled from numerous areas of his body, mainly his chest, the armor that covered it melted and bent at strange angles, and then numerous burns followed by cuts made from impact.<br/><br/>His face was beaten up, as was his arms and legs, everything was broken. Boundary should've been dead.<br/><br/>His hand twitched only slightly.<br/><br/>He opened his eyes and gasped in a lungful of air, which hurt because of his ribs probably being slammed inward by the blast, Boundary coughed and groaned in pain. He reached his battered arm towards his chest and pressed it to it.<br/><br/>"Umbra Vitae." he said. In that instant the shadows around him gathered towards his body and covered his chest. Dark tendrils reached into his wound and started to fix the damage, forcefully pulling his bones back into their original positions and magically forcing vessels and veins and muscles back together. They eventually pulled out of his chest and sealed the chest wounds shut, his chest fixed. The tendrils slowly moved to his arms and legs and began fixing them in the same way they fixed his chest.<br/><br/>"Magnera" he muttered, and the metal of his armor slowly bent into the closest shape he could get of its original state, the blast had deformed it too much for him to fix it now. Boundary's eyes glowed black as he continued this.<br/><br/>He winced and cried out a little in pain as the tendrils dug into his facial wounds, rearranging the bones in his skull and fixing the damage. He finally felt relief when they pulled out and his face was good as new.<br/><br/>He rose to his feet and groaned, the pain still present in his body. That large ship was very strong, it caught him by surprise, that laser was an impressive display of power for a simple machine. Though every machine could break, you just had to find out how. He slowly walked towards where he had flown here from, the darkness hugging his body tight as it slowly began replenishing his power. Night was when he was strongest, night would be when all of these soldiers would die.<br/><br/>"Umbra.... Transition."
