This observation however, doesn't help you much, as without the extremely powerful arrow propelling you through the air, you become subject to the laws of gravity, and smash against the floor at high speeds. The damage is really quite catastrophic, and though you avoid fatal damage, one of your legs is broken, and the other torn off from the force of the impact. Far as anyone would know, they'd just say you were a participant of a high speed car crash, and you weren't wearing your seat-belt.

The pain is bad, but not absolutely unbearable. You can still... heal from this.

"Shinji?!" Mordred quickly races towards you, forgetting to use the title she seems fond of using for you, and picks up your battered and broken body. "But... why?" She questions your motive behind getting in the way of Avenger's attack.

"Lancer's Master... she was being targeted. I couldn't just let somebody who didn't want this fight to happen in the first place get caught up in things, can I?" You sigh, at least your actions seem to have put something of a halt to the hostilities, and you can see the hesitating face of Sun Wukong still standing exactly where they were before your frankly almost suicidal attempt to save Lancer's Master.

"You... you idiot!" Mordred yells at you angrily as she examines your wounds. Mordred isn't a doctor, of course, but her time spent on battlefields has given her something of an aptitude for examining wounds, and she's clearly checking you to see if your wounds are fatal.

"Hey... it's not a problem, these wounds... I'll heal them in no time!" You cough from the pain you're trying to ignore. Having one leg severed, one leg broken, and one arm broken really isn't a pleasant experience. "It's one of my magical abilities." Shrugging when you only have one functioning arm is unsurprisingly difficult, but you feel like you successfully accomplish a gesture close enough to it.
