The Survival of the Third-rate Villain-Chapter 162 - - The Heroine
"Lycus, are you okay?"
Devin asked as soon as he reached Sofia and Lycus.
Worry was apparent in his eyes.
Then, looking back at him—
"Don’t worry, I’m fine."
Lycus replied, letting out a small, reassuring smile.
And then—
Tap—
Allen arrived too.
"..."
His eyes fell on Leon and the gaping wound in his stomach.
"Is he going to be okay...?"
Allen asked, furrowing his eyes.
And at his question—
"..."
Lycus glanced at Leon’s bloodied body.
Then with a slight frown on his face—
"I don’t actually know..."
He weakly muttered that.
"..."
Devin, Sofia, Allen, Lycus—all of them looked at Lena.
"Grgh..."
She was groaning, slightly struggling.
She was focused on healing Leon.
Lena hadn’t recovered all of her mana yet, but despite that, here she was again, using a high-rank healing spell.
Sweat started falling down her face, strength leaving her body.
It was never that easy to heal someone.
Your adventure continues at novelbuddy
Lycus and the others knew that.
And so—
"..."
They looked at Lena and Leon alternately, worried expressions on their faces.
Then, feeling their prickly gazes—
"With me alone, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to save him..."
Lena stated that with a frown.
"...!"
The others widened their eyes in surprise when they heard that.
They all looked at Leon—
"..."
He was still unconscious, but his complexion was all fine now.
They all thought Leon was getting better, but it turned out his life was still in danger.
And knowing that—
"Shit..."
Lycus cursed to himself.
He felt slightly guilty and responsible because he was the one who fought alongside Leon.
Lycus knew that he did nothing wrong and that no one was blaming him.
’If only I was stronger...’
But he couldn’t help but find fault in himself.
And just then—
"What about your potions? They healed Devin’s wound!"
Allen suddenly asked that, he was looking at Sofia.
Slight desperation could be heard in his voice and seen on his face.
Allen was close with Leon, they’re rivals and friends at the same time after all.
But at his question—
"..."
Sofia just bitterly shook her head at him.
Then, opening her mouth—
"My potions can only heal physical wounds. They can’t restore one’s vitality. It worked on Devin because he hadn’t lost a lot of blood back then, and his injury wasn’t as bad."
She explained that.
"I’m sorry."
And then she followed, looking down.
Once again, Sofia felt helpless and powerless.
She was frustrated.
And it’s not just her—
"Fuck..."
Devin muttered.
He was feeling useless too—he literally couldn’t do anything to help right now.
"..."
Allen, Lycus, Devin, and Sofia—they became silent.
Despair slowly ate at them—
"..."
Even Lena.
The frown on her face was deepening.
’If only Senior Jerusha was here, she could do this all alone...’
Lena declared in her head, remembering how big of a mana pool Jerusha had.
And after that—
"..."
The five of them desperately tried to find a way to help Leon—to save him.
Anything.
Anyone...
Then, as they were doing that—
Swoosh~
"Leon!"
The group heard a shout from not far away.
And this voice—
"Huh...?"
Only Allen, Devin, and Lycus were able to recognize whose it was.
Fwish—
The five of them turned their heads toward the source of the shout.
And there—
They saw a beautiful young woman with silky, long black hair and obsidian-like eyes, holding a big wooden staff.
Fwoosh—
She was flying toward them!
"Leon, why are you hurt again?!"
It was Aria Themis.
(Chapter 30)
Leon’s childhood friend—and the main heroine in the game!
Anyway...
Swish—
Aria reached where Leon and the others were not long after.
And seeing Leon’s condition—
"Leon!"
She called for him again, worried.
Aria was trying to wake him up to see if he was conscious.
Her expression was almost crying, her eyes tearing up.
"ugh..."
Aria had seen Leon in such conditions multiple times now.
But still—
"Please... Wake up..."
There’s just no way she’ll get used to something like this.
’Please...!’
Aria was panicking, she was still in a mess, she doesn’t know what to do—she still can’t calm down.
But as she was like that—
"You’re a mage, right?!"
Lena suddenly loudly asked that, snapping Aria out of her stupor!
Lena could feel a strong surge of mana coming from Aria.
"Huh?"
Aria was surprised, she just stared at Lena for a split second.
The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.
She forgot about the others, only focusing on Leon.
But immediately realizing the urgency of the situation, and noticing that Lena was healing Leon—
"Yes."
Aria quickly responded.
"Can you use healing spells?"
Lena followed another question without beating around the bush.
And immediately opening her mouth—
"Yes."
Aria answered again.
’I had to learn strong healing spells because Leon always gets hurt.’
She thought.
And hearing her answer—
"..."
Lena smiled.
"...!"
Allen, Sofia, Devin, Lycus—their eyes lit up.
Then, opening her mouth—
"I’m currently healing the big hole on Leon’s stomach. I want you to replenish his vitality with a spell as strong as mine while I do that. I’m using the spell [Vital Overheal]."
Lena explained that.
And without wasting a second—
"I know that spell too, I’ll use it as well."
Aria muttered that with a resolute look in her eyes.
Fwish—
She crouched down toward Leon, on Lena’s opposite side without waiting for any instruction.
And without further ado—
"[Vital Overheal!!!]"
Aria cast the same spell Lena was using on Leon.
F W O O O S H—!!
And immediately, finally after that—
"urgh..."
Leon let out a weak groan!
It was silent that everyone almost missed it!
But still—
Leon was showing a sign of life!
And seeing that—
"...!"
Lycus, Devin, Sofia, Allen—their eyes widened.
Then immediately—
"Protect them both!"
Lycus exclaimed that!
And at his instruction—
"Ah!"
Devin and Allen snapped out of their surprise.
Fwish—
And then they immediately started guarding Aria and Lena—
"grgh...!"
Who were focused on healing Leon!
"Don’t die on us."
Lycus whispered under his breath, glancing at Leon behind him.
And after that—
TAP—
He stepped forward—guarding Aria, Leon, and Lena.
Chaos was still going everywhere they looked.
