The Survival of the Third-rate Villain - Chapter 102

Chapter 102: 102 – Level Up! [2]

After two hours of grueling pain…

“GAAAHH!!!”

SWISH—

Raye successfully absorbed the enhancement pills’ essences!

He was sweating all around, blood was splashed everywhere…

And Raye…

“Haaaa… Haaaaaa… Haaaa…”

He looks like a dried-up zombie at the moment!

-Raye, can you understand me?!

Zephyrus asked.

And weakly…

“Haaaa…”

Raye looked at him and nodded his head.

-Good, do you want anything?

Zephyrus followed.

Forcing himself to speak…

“Wa…ter…”

Raye muttered that.

-Got it.

Zephyrus responded, hearing his words.

SWOOSH—

And then he quickly flew out of the room!

On the other hand…

-meep!

Pyro was left alone with Raye, he was sick worried about him.

-meep…

Fwoosh—

Pyro flew around Raye, he doesn’t know what to do.

Raye looked at him…

“Don’t worry… I’m good…”

And then he said that.

-Meep!

Of course, Pyro didn’t believe him.

And so…

Swoosh—

He started channeling a bit of his mana to Raye.

Raye immediately felt a bit better…

“Thanks…”

He mumbled with a weak smile.

And just then…

Fwoosh—

-Here!

Zephyrus came back to the room!

There’s a cupful of water floating beside him too!

Swoosh—

The cup flew in front of Raye.

And looking at it…

Fwip—

Gulp—

Raye quickly grabbed it and drank it!

“Much better…”

Raye whispered with a smile.

Thud—

And then he fell on his back, on his bed!

He was lying in his own blood!

But being too tired and exhausted to care for that…

“…”

Raye just closed his eyes and lost consciousness!

-Meep!

Pyro chirped, worried.

-He’s just sleeping, he’s fine now, fortunately.

But Zephyrus said that and calmed him down.

-…

They then just looked at Raye for a while, making sure he’s all good now.

And after that…

-The Old Man will be worried if he sees this.

Zephyrus mumbled, looking at the mess inside Raye’s room.

-meep…

Pyro agreed with him.

Then by controlling winds…

Swoosh—

Zephyrus collected a huge pool of blood and made it float in the air!

While looking at it…

-Burn it, Pyro.

He said that!

And understanding his assignment…

-Meep!

SWAAAA—

Pyro set the pool of blood on fire!

It evaporated not long after and disappeared!

-This could do.

Zephyrus said.

And with that…

He continued cleaning Raye’s room with Pyro’s help!

And those from the sheet, he squeezed the blood out using his magic and Pyro burned the dirt!

*****

After 8 hours…

“Ugh…?”

Raye regained his consciousness!

He immediately sat up and looked around.

“Huh?”

He was surprised to see that his room was clean.

‘I swear it was like a shit place before I passed out.’

He thought…

Raye was sure he wasn’t hallucinating before because he can smell himself, he stinks.

Just then, suddenly…

-Pyro and I cleaned it.

Zephyrus talked, landing on top of his head!

“Huh? Where’d you come from?”

Raye asked.

-I was just flying around, making sure no blood stain was left.

And Zephyrus answered.

-I also told the Old Man you were sleeping so he wouldn’t get worried.

He added.

Hearing that…

“Thanks.”

Raye was relieved.

“Where’s Pyro?”

He followed.

-Outside, helping the Old Man cook.

Zephyrus replied.

“Ohh, okay.”

Raye mumbled.

-What you did earlier was utterly stupid.

Then Zephyrus suddenly stated that.

“Ugh.”

Raye groaned, embarrassed…

But Zephyrus just continued!

-Shouldn’t it be obvious that taking one pill at a time is common sense?!

He shouted.

-You’re lucky you’re contracted with Pyro, a fire spirit.

And then he grumbled.

“Huh? What do you mean?”

Raye asked, clueless.

And proudly…

-The enhancement pills’ essence originated from fire, that’s why you feel hot all over your body when you consume it.

Zephyrus started explaining.

-Because you’re contracted with a fire spirit, you automatically have, even a little bit, fire resistance.

-And because of that fire resistance, you were able to contain the enhancement pills’ essence without suffering internal damage.

He declared.

-There’s a possibility you’d be back in a deathbed if it wasn’t for that.

“Oh.”

Raye was shocked to hear this.

“Guess I should be thankful to Pyro.”

He muttered with a smile.

-Yeah, you should be, the kid’s stressed because of you!

Zephyrus snapped at him.

“Ugh, sorry.”

Raye apologized.

-Forget about that.

Zephyrus paused a little.

And then, opening his mouth…

-Open your stats.

He instructed that!

“Oh, right.”

Raye almost forgot about that.

Looking at the ring artifact in his hand…

“Status.”

Raye mumbled.

Swoosh—

And a system window appeared!

Though, before he could even take a look at it…

“Raye, are you awake?!”

He heard Old Man Rey calling from outside.

“Huh?”

Fwip—

Raye immediately closed his status window.

‘Meh, this can wait.’

He thought.

And after that…

“I’m awake!”

He responded to the Old Man.

“Good, let’s eat!”

“Okay!”

After their brief shouting exchanges…

Raye stood up from his bed.

Tap- tap- tap—

Creak—

Thud—

And then he left the room!

-…

Zephyrus was left speechless inside the room, flying in the air.

And with a shocked expression on his face…

-I didn’t expect that the effect would be that high.

He muttered that!

Fwoosh—

Anyway, he followed after Raye not long.

*****

Outside the cabin…

“How are you feeling?”

Old Man Rey asked that as soon as Raye came out.

“You’ve slept for about ten hours, that’s new for you.”

He then commented.

“Yeah, I’m feeling pretty good.”

Raye replied.

And he’s not joking, he feels really energetic right now!

“Just kind of hungry, though.”

He added.

-Meep!

Pyro then, seeing Raye, flew over to him.

Worry was apparent in his eyes.

“Sorry for worrying you, Pyro. I’m fine now.”

Raye whispered to reassure him.

-meep…

But Pyro was still down.

And so, to make him feel better…

“Did you know? Zephyrus said that—”

Raye told Pyro what Zephyrus told him, that Pyro is the reason he was able to absorb the enhancement pills without having internal damage.

“Thank you for that.”

Raye finished off with that.

And after hearing the story…

-Meep!

Pyro proudly chirped, puffing out his chest.

‘He’s really just a kid.’

Raye thought with a smile on his face.

Following that…

“Sit down, brat. Let’s eat.”

“Ah, okay.”

-Meep!

-What’s for dinner?

The four of them ate dinner.

*****

Around 10 PM…

Raye is back in his room.

-…

-…

Zephyrus and Pyro were already asleep.

“I can’t sleep.”

Raye mumbled.

He raised his right hand in the air while looking at the ceiling…

“Let’s see…”

Raye muttered.

And opening his mouth…

“Status.”

He whispered that under hus breath!

Swoosh—

A window system appeared.

And this time…

Raye took a proper look at it!
