Gamer of the Dead

Book 2, Chapter 94:

The blood drained in Bobby's face. Daniel reported that the warehouse collapsed and that his aunt was trapped in the debris but downplayed the situation and only said that both Alex and his aunt was still alive.

He ran towards the direction Alex pointed at, amidst all the chaos around him, both Malou and Alex following right behind him. 2 warrior types were guarding an opening to the part of the warehouse that is still standing. When they saw Bobby both raised their hands to stop him. "Hey, moron! In case you didn't notice, but the place is about to collapse. No one enters this place-"Bobby grabbed the guy in his left and tossed him to one side. The other pulled out a short sword and leveled it in his chest. Bobby simply swatted it aside with the back of one hand, and slammed the other in the warrior's throat, then stepped past him as he drops to the ground. Bobby barely slowed down.

He entered the ruined warehouse and nothing was inside but a small messy space. They needed to crawl through a small tunnel that opened up into a slightly bigger space. Bobby walked passed a corridor and when he rounded the corner, he saw the gaunt body of Aunt Bella and the massive solid structure that pinned her body from the waist down.

He was right next to her in a moment, and his healing magic is already glowing in his hands. It helped a bit and gave back some color to his aunt's face, but it wasn't enough.

His aunt was in grave danger. Even as he hurried back to the warehouse, he didn't expect this. He thought he had time, time to plan, time to think, but nothing like this!

The problem was half of his aunt's body is under all those tons of rubble. The weight is killing her, but at the same time, it is also keeping her alive. The moment the structure is taken away, her blood pressure will go down, and he will have seconds to save her. If the weight is only pinning her legs, Bobby will not hesitate to cut it and just regrow her a new one.

Unfortunately, right now, the pressure is also affecting her liver, kidney, and part of the large intestine. He has a lot of practice, and he can grow internal parts reasonably fast, but he can only grow them one at a time. If it is his own body, then he can instantly heal all of them, but it is not, and it is inherently slower to treat someone else's body with magic rather than the healer's own.This is so frustrating to Bobby because this same injury will not even slow him down. He'd suffer a full-body 4th-degree burn, a magical bullet in the brain, and continuous mana burn and mana poisoning, and he survives all of it. But his Nana's fragile body is entirely different.

She's dying.

Malou and Alex caught up. Malou immediately checks her pulse and coloration. She checks her breathing and the pupils of her eyes. Her grim face and look of full professionalism were the scariest thing Bobby had seen. It was like she is ready to give him the bad news.

Fuck that. I'm the healer here. I decide what is impossible and what is not.

But then again He was not medically trained.

"So what do we do doc?" Bobby asked.

Before she could answer, a family of three, a man and woman in their early thirties and a boy of 8 or 9 in the woman's arm entered the warehouse. In a completely different time and place, the family would have looked elegant. The father wore a three-piece suit complete with a blazer and even a tie, while the woman is wearing white halter tops and a matching bloomy skirt. As if the family is simply going to Sunday church. Unfortunately, the torn damages in their fineries and the bruises on their skins only highlighted how they look lost and the desperateness in their souls. They were simply one of the saddest pictures Malou had seen for a while now.

Bobby, Alex, and Malou all look at the newcomers, but only Bobby saw the gun resting on the man's belt, and he was looking around as if he is a cornered and panicking animal.

He saw both Bobby's and Alex's armor, and he realized that they were players. The disgust and hatred on his face were so open that Alex was taken aback. But not Bobby.

The man grabbed his gun, and with a snarl, he pointed the gun and spat. "Filthy unclean mutants!" He shouted before firing his 9mm Baretta. Bobby pushed Malou away, and he covered aunt Bella as best he could. Malou screamed. Bobby felt 3 or 4 bullets hitting the back of his light armor. And then Alex was moving.

She pulled out a massive bow and as she covered both her aunt and brother, she nocked the arrow, pulled and fired a single shot at the attacker in one fluid motion. She used a select arrow called Earth Arrow II. And it was designed to unhorse a man. The arrowhead is a combination of Orichalcum and dark silver and is imbued with earth magic. The head is very light but once fired, an invisible solid mass blossomed in the tip with a diameter of about 20 inches. It is like being hit by a giant bowling ball. The woman holding the child screamed and ran back to where they came from.

The man turned out to be just a regular human, a nonplayer, and the arrow cave in his chest. The moment the arrow hit on impact, he was already dead. Unfortunately, he also flew for about 10 feet more and hit a pillar post. His body bounced once and fell to the floor, forgotten.The impact, however, was strong enough to increase the growing crack behind the pillar. Already strained from the damage done to the warehouse from the massive debris that fell on top of it, the pillar snaps and Malou screamed again as she watched the rest of the building rooftop fall on them.
