Villain With The Strongest System

Chapter 60: Blacking Out

"Save me-"

She said it so low it wasn't even audible.

Perhaps it was only the movement of her lips that Rocky read, as he felt absolutely bewildered at this turn of events.

" Leader, there's one of them alive-" said one of the three remaining assassin's in a raspy voice, as the fourth one who had tried to attack Rocky before, was now dead because of the backlash.

" I think he's within a high level safety field, it will be tricky to fight him" said another Assassin who first hand witnessed Rocky's incredible defense field and was hesitant to approach him.

"Doesn't matter, our mission here is already complete, the target is dead. Time to run away" said another Assassin, who Rocky assumed was their group leader as the trio began running back towards the woods, leaving Rocky alone amongst a pile of bodies.

" Fuck, fuck, fuck" Rocky said, as the second he realised they were safe, he rushed over to his backpack and with trembling fingers quickly opened it as he pressed the emergency button.

Moving over to Sophia first, as she seemed to be the most critical, Rocky put a finger on her neck to check for pulse as to his relief he felt a faint pulse still coming out of her neck.

" Fuck… she's alive" Rocky said, as he felt a heap of blood dripping down from her chest from where she had been attacked, as Rocky immediately opened the emergency first aid kit out of his backpack and brought out the clotting gauze.

"Oye,oye, oye, stay strong, don't die on me Sophia" he said, as although Sophia could not hear anything after having passed out unconscious, Rocky did his best to keep her alive.

He tore off her top, as her bare breasts came into display for him to watch, as somewhere between her two breasts she had a dagger sticking out from the center of her chest.

"Two minutes….. a university teacher will be here within two minutes" Rocky murmured to himself as he placed the gauze around her wound, not removing the dagger out of her chest as he knew that doing so would only increase the bleeding.

Applying pressure both on the front and the back end of her wound, Rocky took Sophia in a sort of body to body hug, as he breathed rapidly and did his best to stop her blood-flow.

Adrenaline was still pumping strong in his body.

He was scared, he did not know what to believe or what to do, however, he earnestly tried to save Sophia, who she believed now without a shadow of a doubt to be a victim of this incident.

'A divide within Olympus?' Rocky wondered, as it seemed like either Poseidon had a falling out with Zeus or that Sophia was not favored by her family.

As only one of these two reasons could perhaps lead to someone trying to kill Sophia.

'It could also be a third party trying to kill her and pin the blame on Olympus? Wearing an assassin's robe that has Olympus badge proves nothing' Rocky thought, as his thoughts moved away from what Sophia's intentions were to what the ones who harmed her were planning, as at this moment Rocky absolved her of all blame.

He could not even think that Sophia willingly did this to herself, risking her very life to fool him, as at this moment, his rock hard mental defense that was suspicious of everything she did finally shattered, as instead of letting her die, he did his best to protect her.

" What the hell happened here!" Screamed a feminine voice as she rushed over towards where Rocky was sitting pulling out countless bottles of potion from her backpack.

Rocky did not recognise the instructor in front of him, however, since she was in university robes, Rocky explained the situation briefly to her, as clearly as he could.

"She's critical, lost a lot of blood, needs immediate medical care, I have no idea what the condition of my other two friends is, but they seem to be breathing as for now" Rocky replied, as the instructor looked at Rocky and gripped the blood soaked gauze piece that Rocky was holding at Sophia's back, allowing him to free a hand.

" When I instruct you to…. Remove the dagger from her chest in one swift motion okay?

I will immediately pour a tissue regeneration potion over her wound, which should stop the horrendous bleeding" The teacher said calmly, as despite the horrendous situation, she seemed to hold her wits.

Nodding, Rocky waited until she opened the potion bottle, as he extracted the dagger sticking out of her chest in one swift motion, allowing the teacher to pour in the tissue regeneration potion.

*Sizzle*

*Sizzle*

The moment the potion was poured into her body cavity, Sophia's blood vessels and damaged tissue began regenerating at a rate visible to the naked eye as her wound started to close up rapidly.

" She has lost a lot of blood, it's a miracle she's even alive ... must be because of the strong vitality that comes with being a demi-human, a normal individual would be long dead" the teacher commented, as her words only reinforced Rocky's belief that someone had genuinely targeted Sophia here and that someone seriously wanted her dead.

" You did well to keep her alive for so long. But she still needs urgent attention" the teacher said, as she opened yet another potion, which this time was a health potion, as she opened Sophia's mouth and poured it in.

" Will she be okay?" Rocky asked, once the teacher was done pouring the potion as she shook her head and refused to comment.

"Here, two return tokens, place one in her hand, place one in yours, then break both.

The moment you return to the university, rush to the infirmary. I'll go and check on your friends in the meanwhile" The teacher said, as she handed Rocky two return tokens.

Throwing one last glance towards the unconscious Buhara and Erin, Rocky did as the instructor said, crushing both his token and one by closing Sophia's fist, as immediately the two were teleported out of the first floor of the tower and back within academy grounds.

The second they were back, Rocky picked up Sophia in his arms princess style and sprinted with all his might towards the infirmary.

"PATIENT…. CRITICAL PATIENT, HELP-" He shouted at the top of his lungs, as by the time he reached the infirmary, a few teachers and the healers were already on the ready as the second Rocky placed her on the nursing bed, the chief healer got to work.

[ Greater Heal ]

[ Vitality's Embrace ]

Using two powerful healing spells one after another, she did her best to stabilize Sophia's condition, even going as far as to suffering from mana deficiency, however, even then her condition did not stabilize.

" POISON!! POISONED STUDENTS-" Screamed the teacher who responded to Rocky's emergency signal as she burst into the infirmary with Rocky and Buhara placed over her two shoulders.

" The orc will live, someone save the human….. I don't think he can make it much longer-" the teacher shouted in panic, as a team of healers diverted their attention from Sophia to Erin, as Rocky watched on in horror.

'What's going on? Who did this to my friends?' he wondered, as he once again felt the world spinning under his feet.

As he glanced towards Erin, his usually fair and beautiful skin seemed to have turned into an ugly shade of purple as Rocky could not fathom seeing him in such a state.

*Stumble*

*Crash*

"BLURFGHHHH"

Rocky stumbled to the infirmary window, puking his guts out, as the moment he saw Erin, he could not hold it in anymore and finally his facade of calmness and strength broke.

He began to tremble, his mind went blank as the concept of mortality gave him a reality check.

Images of his own apartments explosion flashed by in his mind as he found his heart racing out of his chest and his lungs failing his command.

Although he gasped for air, no air seemed to enter his body as he felt dizzy and disoriented.

'Champion….Champion….'

'My son can walk now! My son walked for the first time because of you-'

'Hey, I'm Sophia, nice to meet you-'

'Buhahahahara-'

'No you, Sir Rocky! Are the best'

'Just come home, it's past your curfew time'.

'You are not the champion I wanted'

*KABOOM* *Glass Shattering*

Rocky saw his life flashing before him, the dam of emotions he had been holding shut was finally broken apart, as overwhelmed he felt darkness clouding over his eyes.

" Oh not you as well….. someone check on that kid, he's having a panic attack-" he heard someone say, but before he could make out who, Rocky blacked out.

I apologise that my upload rate currently is slightly below par, but I'm definitely working on it, and expect to fix it by April.
