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.

*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.

/// A/N - Bonus chapter for hitting the PS target, good job everyone!

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.

Also, the chapters of this book are approximately 30-50% longer than the chapters on vampire god. So although my release rate is slightly low, the content I'm giving per chapter is more. ///
