Lyle stared at the group of five while holding his stomach. The wound he had received from Carl was not light at all as a hole was left in his stomach. The only reason why he was still able to keep calm and act normally was that he was able to use his ability to stop blood from coming out of his body before bandaging it and applying a healing salve around the wound.
He could use a healing potion as well, but for a wound this large, it would hurt immensely and he wouldn't be able to respond to any threats that came his way. It was akin to suicide for him to simply pour a healing potion over the wound, as simply drinking it wouldn't be enough.
Healing potions could be used in two different ways, for injuries that were light or internal ones, one could simply drink the potion and allow the healing properties to fix them up, but for more serious wounds, one needed to pour it directly on the wound, which would maximize the potions efficiency, but would hurt like hell.
