Villain With The Strongest System-Chapter 237: Reaching Riva
Deciding to trust Kronos on which cell Riva was supposed to be held in, Rocky under the protection of mama Chun, moved through the prison aisle, where the Elites were clashing dangerously against the Prison Guards.
On several occasions, the team had to pause for a moment and use all their strength to block an incoming stray attack released by two high level fighters fighting amongst each other, as crossing over to reach Riva's cell proved to be not an easy feat at all.
Nonetheless, maneuvering through the sheer chaos, Rocky, Erin, Mama Chun and Buhara somehow managed to reach the alleged cell where Riva was being held, as Erin got straight to work on trying to bust that cell door open.
At this moment, Rocky felt his heart beating out of his chest, and his senses reaching a state of peak alertness.
His sister was right across that door and he was within inches of saving her, making him feel both anxious and excited as this weird combination of emotions prompted him to experience an adrenaline rush unlike no other.
At this moment, Rocky could feel everything about his surroundings clearly.
The clash of weapons between the prison guards and the Elites, the weird fight on-going between the bare-handed Kronos and Perseus in the far corner of the aisle and the loud breathing of Mama Chun who was audibly stressed out about her life by being in such a dangerous environment.
*Clank*
Using his expertise, Erin managed to blast open the first of the four cell locks holding the sealed prison gate together, as the sound of the lock opening permeated throughout the prison aisle.
"WHAT ARE YOU FOOLS DOING? WHY IS ROCKY YADAV BEING ALLOWED TO BUST OPEN THAT PRISON DOOR WHILE YOU FOOLS FIGHT HIS UNDERLINGS?
GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER AND STOP HIM.
POSEIDON FORBID, IF ROCKY YADAV MANAGES TO ESCAPE THIS PRISON ALONGSIDE HIS SISTER...
THEN I'LL PERSONALLY SEND YOU ALL ON A TRIP TO HELL" Perseus shouted from down the aisle on top of his lungs, as he prompted his men to divert their focus from fighting the Elites to stopping Rocky.
"Your opponent is me! Don't you dare focus on the Champion Of Gemini"
"Oh no you don't! You don't get to be distracted mid-fight"
"Pfft! Where do you get the confidence to look away from me?"
The Elites who were keeping the prison guards busy did not allow for them to divert their focus towards Rocky, as not a single prison guard was able to free themselves and face Rocky, with all of them having to already put their lives on the line facing the Elites.
"Erin, go quicker if you can–" Rocky urged, as he nervously clutched onto both of his swords and looked prepared to defend against any stray shot coming his way.
"Bear! Can you create an ice wall between us and the rest of the fighters?" Buhara suggested, as listening to his suggestion Mama Chun created a thick ice wall that isolated the four of them from the rest of the mess down the aisle.
*CLANG*
Soon, Erin was able to break open the second lock, the sound of which caused Perseus to suffer a mental breakdown.
"You absolute buffoons! What did I tell you! I'll kill you! I'll kill you all…. Someone stop Rocky Yadav!" Perseus urged, however, unfortunately for him, nobody listened to his call.
*CLANG*
Soon after, Erin was able to break open the third lock as well, as at that moment, only one lock stood between Rocky freeing Riva.
*Crunch*
*Crash*
Just as Erin opened the third lock, Kronos came flying through the ice wall and got smashed on-to the hard metal prison wall behind, as he seemed to have a deep gash on his chest.
"Absolutely useless, the entire lot of you…. Not one of you is of any use to me….. in the end, I have to do it myself" said Perseus as he slashed open the ice wall and walked through it to face Rocky.
"Your fight is with me!" Said Kronos, who seemed to have magically recovered from all his previous injuries, as at the spot where a deep gash was visible just a moment ago, there was now healed skin as he seemed to have completely recovered from his wounds within a few seconds.
Lunging towards Perseus, Kronos tried to land a punch on his face, however, he was too slow compared to Perseus to mount a serious challenge.
Dodging easily, Perseus slashed apart his shoulder, making Kronos lose his left limb.
[ Light Blast ]
Not even flinching from the pain of losing a limb, Kronos used his other hand to unleash the spell [ Light Blast ] as he sent Perseus crashing back from the ice wall that he had come through, forcing him to be pushed backwards.
"Sorry about that guys…. You please carry on" Kronos said, as he picked up his chopped off limb from the floor below and placed it against his shoulders, only for it to be magically attached back in place within a split second.
"What the fuck?" Wondered Rocky out loud as he had never seen such ridiculous healing speed in his entire life.
"Don't be too shocked Champion Of Gemini, I have near infinite vitality" Kronos said with an arrogant smile on his face as he lunged towards Perseus yet again, engaging against him in what seemed to be a tiring and pointless fight for Perseus.
"Nevermind…. Erin, the last lock!" Rocky said, deciding to ignore the random information drop that Kronos had just given him in favor of saving his sister first.
Through trembling hands, Erin tried to bust open the last prison lock, as although he felt incredibly tired and fatigued due to mana deficiency, he braved through and tried to crack open one last lock.
*CLANG*
Finally, under Erin's constant efforts the last lock was broken open, and the massive metal door fell face first into the prison aisle outside.
*CRASH*
The sound of the heavy metal door crashing alerted the entire aisle that the prison gate had been busted open, however, there was nothing that anyone could do about that.
"SISTER I'M HERE–" Rocky said, jumping into the prison cell as soon as the door was busted open, as he saw a purple skinned and extremely frail looking Riva curled up on the prison floor naked.
"Sister? Sister, are you okay? I'm here…. I'm here…. Look, it's your Rocky" Rocky said, as he kneeled beside Riva and tried to enter his sister's field of vision, hoping that after looking at him, she would be happy and lucid again.
However, contrary to his expectations, no matter how hard Rocky shook her, Riva simply would not look at him, as her eyes rolled towards the back of her head and her demeanor seemed unusual.
"More ... I need more….. the pain…. I need more…. Needle….needle ….. give needle" Riva spoke in a broken and raspy voice, as Rocky felt his skin crawl when he heard his sister behaving like a drug addict.
"What is this creature…. What is this ugly stench in this room?" Buhara questioned, as Rocky murderously glared towards his friend to shut him up.
He was in no mood for jokes, and Buhara's insensitive comments really hurt close to home at this moment.
"Sir Rocky, she might perhaps be poisoned… should we feed her a health potion?" Asked Erin, as Rocky nodded in approval.
Although they did not have any specific anti-venom potions, going by the basics taught to them by Principal Liam in survival class, where he told them to substitute an anti-venom potion with a health potion in times of emergencies, Rocky decided to give Riva a health potion at this moment.
*Pop*
Popping open a bottle of high grade health potion, Rocky tricked the fluid down Riva's lips, however, almost as soon as some of the fluid went down her throat Riva started to experience seizures as her whole body began trembling violently and foam started to froth out of her mouth. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
"What's going on? What's happening to my sister?" Rocky asked, panic setting in his voice, as at this moment he felt a genuine fear of Riva dying right there in his arms.
"Look! There's a letter and a few vials of some liquid placed inside this room–" Erin said, sporting a letter and a few vials of some medicine having been placed in the room as he quickly grabbed it and gave it to Rocky.
Tearing the letter apart, while Riva experienced a seizure in his lap, Rocky quickly began reading the contents of the letter.

[ Dear Rocky,
If you are reading this letter, then it probably means you have reached your sister while she is still alive.
Good job!
I'm really impressed by the efficiency displayed by the Champion Of Gemini.
Don't worry, a job performed well is always deserving of a reward.
If you want to restore the lucidity of your sister and return her complexion from purple to normal, just give her a shot of 25ml of the blue fluid medicine I've placed in the room, directly into her veins.
Don't worry…..
I am not trying to scam you– ]
After reading only this part of the letter, Rocky immediately threw the letter aside for the moment, as he grabbed a syringe placed beside the letter and loaded it with one vial of medicine, which turned out to be exactly 25 ml in quantity.
"Hang in there sister–" Rocky said, as he injected the shot of medicine straight into her arm, as he prayed that the fluid that he injected into Riva would somehow save her life.
