( Present day, Within the tunnel )
Rocky panted profusely as he ran towards the exit of the tunnel.
At this moment he was acutely aware of every square inch of his surroundings as the rush of adrenaline coursed strongly through his body.
Not only had he successfully managed to lure over a few hundred tier 4 and tier 5 experts into an ambush zone, but he was now walking out of that mess alive with a prisoner over his shoulders.
"Hahahaha.... We did it guys" Rocky said, grinning from ear to ear, as he congratulated Erin and Buhara on this small victory.
Everything had gone down exactly how Rocky had envisioned it to be.
Sophia betrayed Rocky near the inner prison wall entrance where an ambush party was waiting for him to take a few final steps before they lept into action, however, Rocky never gave them the chance.
Right before entering the inner prison, Rocky asked Erin to put two spells on the door handle while he distracted Sophia.
The first spell was a lock explosion spell that was placed to blow apart the door from its hinges when triggered and the second was a curse spell that completely paralyzed the target from the neck down for 10 minutes after being triggered.
As soon as Sophia touched the prison door knob, to open the door, the curse spell was imprinted upon her and as soon as they walked through the door and Rocky confirmed that there was indeed an ambush lying ahead for them, he signaled for Erin to trigger Sophia's curse first.
Although the various experts had hidden themselves well from the common eyes using several illusion type seals, they could not hide their presence from Rocky's aura eyes which detected their killing intent from a distance.
"We never trusted you.... You lying, scheming, conniving two bit snake" Erin said spitefully, as he ensured to emphasize on his point by spitting straight on Sophia's face.
*Spit*
"I don't blame you ..... you betrayed us for family..." Buhara said, as he still seemed to be sympathetic towards Sophia, thinking that she only betrayed them because she was siding with family.
"For a moment, I wanted to believe that we were genuinely friends. Discover exclusive tales on m,v l'e-novelhall.net
For a moment, I even found you attractive and had a fleeting thought of us being potential lovers.
However, the more I got to know you and the more I got to see of your ugly heart.... It made me realize that I could never trust you, and that you were going to betray me, your family and everyone else in the universe eventually, because the only one you truly care about is you yourself while everyone else is an insignificant ant for you.
You lack the compassion to understand others pain and others problems, and for that reason you are blind to their sufferings.
If only you cared about someone other than yourself, then perhaps today's chain of events would not have ended with us having to capture you.
Alas, they don't seem to teach mercy and compassion at Olympus making you as rotten as the rest of your disgusting family" Rocky said condescendingly as he expressed his true feelings regarding Sophia for the first time ever.
