Lord Shadow

Sofia look at the sky with complicated expression

She could feel that the demonic power that envelops the island is rising exponentially and this is beyond the capability that Raymond had to stop it

‘What is happening in there?’ she thought to herself.

And then she knew she could not just stand there. It doesn’t seem that any attack that they have done had any considerable effect to that demon hand.

She sighed and then she shakes her bow and her bow turns into a tattoo on her wrist. She then without hesitation flew toward the space rip.

She turns into an arrows that flew as fast as lightning and appeared inside the space rip in a minute

That is quite long to reach the sky for a Disk Formation user

Even after she had uses all of her energy to increase her speed, the distance between heaven and earth is high now and a casual flying toward the sky that would only take her a few second in the past has now taken her a few minutes.

When she arrived inside she could see the terrible sight inside it. The space rip is not empty and she did not immediately see where Raymond was.

Instead what she sees is a battlefield.

There is debris of spaceships, countless of demonic corpses floating about and it was like a sea of dead people all around.

She saw something else but she ignored it and focus on her task

She looks around and saw Raymond lying down on the broad shoulder of one of his titanic golem. The golem army that he had created is only around a hundred now.

And most of them is not in a good condition. They all circled around the one titanic golem that Raymond is lying on.

They created a wide circle that prevents any of the demonic creatures and the Battlestar from entering the perimeter, guarding Raymond.

BOOM!

A sound of explosion echoes all around her as she tunes out the sound as she saw another golem was blasted into particles of sand

‘Fuck, what did you get yourself into Raymond. You should not have overdone it’ she thought to herself

She knew that if she did not save Raymond now, Raymond would die here inside the space rip.

It is hard to determine space and distance in such a weird space construct but she uses her divine sense to lock onto Raymond

It gave her a sense of general direction as she flew.

The Divine enable her to not get caught by any spatial distortion or spatial eruption because of the battle between the golems and the forces of the Seresian demon

It took her a few second, a few close call with a stray plasma cannon shot, a bone spear that just nearly missed him before she arrives near the golem.

She quickly landed and run on that scheduler of the golem to reach Raymond.

She could see that Raymond is in and out of consciousness. His entire body is pale and blood is pouring down from his nose and mouth and ears.

It is not a good sight at all. She sighed and then shakes her head

‘You…. overdraft yourself once again’ she muttered as she crouches down and held Raymond head up.

She brought out the potion inside her storage bag as she pours down the potion into Raymond mouth. She forces it to enter his mouth

As this is Sina premium potion, she could easily see that Raymond face color slowly reverts back to normal.

Raymond gulped it unconsciously and then he slowly opens his eyes. All around him the battle is still ongoing and it became fiercer.

He shakes his head, feeling a little bit groggy and then when he opened his eyes, he saw Sofia, looking down at him.

He smiles and then the first word that came out of his mouth was

‘An angel has come to take me away’ Hearing this, even in the current situation which is quite depressing, Sofia laughed.

‘You still have the desire to joke around’ As Sofia shakes her head and smack his chest

It was only then that Raymond finally get his act together. It was not his fault. For that one moment, he truly thought he had died and go to Heaven.

He should have known that he would not get that lucky.

He slowly got up as Sofia is holding him up so that he would not fall down.

Raymond look at the distance and Sofia also look at the same direction that Raymond is looking at. What they see brings them back to the current situation.

They no longer have any mood to joke around when they saw it.

Good feeling never last long in the world after the Fall. Even the strongest of them is not immune to the dangers of the Universe.

Raymond face hardened as he looks at that thing and clench his fist in frustration

His hand is trembling because of how he hard he is clenching his fist.

There is this feeling of uselessness that he felt.

They were so many things that he had failed to stop. And that sense of powerlessness reminds him the first few days of the Fall.

And so he felt frustrated thinking about it.

Raymond had always been acknowledged as the number two of the world. He had never felt dissatisfied about it.

It didn’t matter because he could protect those under him even when he was number two. But now he knows?

If you are weak, then you could not protect anyone.

He is here in the Island of Peace but he had to watch his soldiers die. But Azief who was a million miles away could simply release a strike and solve the problem that he had failed to solve.

He wanted to be number one! He hated this feeling of powerlessness. He understands now. That if he did not progress it means he is being left behind.

Hikigaya had even surpassed him. Had he also focused on the development of his power these past couple of years…. then today scenery might be different.

Thinking of this he clenches his hand even harder.

He had use all he had, he had go beyond his limit to create the golem army to try to delay this calamity.

But nothing that he did have any effect that is noticeable.

All he had is useless. He had to have more power to make an effect.

Now, he is not even qualified to participate in this big battle. Thinking about it, how could he not feel gloomy and helpless.

People in the world would be shocked to know that the Supreme Commander of the World Government would feel that he was powerless.

But this is the effect brought by today event. Today, Raymond knew he should not have rested on top of his throne as the number two and instead he should have taken his time seriously.

He should have improved himself.

It is not like he couldn’t break through to Divine Comprehension right now.

but even if he does break through right now…he is quite confident he would not have the kind of power that Death Monarch and Hikigaya possess.

Because his foundation was not stable. Every Disk Formation leveler after mastering a certain amount of Laws could always try to break through to Divine Comprehension.

But if he breaks through right now, then the rank among the Divine Comprehension leveler that Raymond would attain is probably on the lower rung.

And a lower rung Divine Comprehension leveler would not be able to fight with more threats that probably would come later.

And there is also a chance that when someone breakthrough in the lower rank, the possibility of advancing is cut off later.

Then he would probably never ever reach the level that others would reach.

Raymond would not hesitate if breaking through to Divine Comprehension means he could defeat all of the forces that is threatening Earth right now.

But he knew, even if he broke through, he could not do much to change the general trend.

He looks around him and he could see the battle that is still being waged against his golem.

The battle become even more intense and all kinds of explosion and shockwave energy inundated the area.

Every once in a while, the sound of Battlestar exploding o his golem being blown off by some magical cannon could be heard and seen

While his golem could withstand the tens of thousands of the Seresian demons, he could not reverse the general trend

It is simply because he is too weak.

Sofia saw Raymond and she could see how Raymond is blaming himself. She looks down toward Raymond clench hand and she sighed.

She holds his hand and Raymond was startled for a second. He looks at her with a quizzing gaze

Sofia look at him with gentle gaze and said

‘Don’t blame yourself. You did your best’

Raymond bitterly chuckles as he said

‘My best isn’t enough’

‘It is enough for a lot of people’ Sofia said and then she looks back in front of her and like Raymond she too had a complicated expression right now

That expression on her face right now is an expression she did to try to cover the fear that she is feeling right now.

Holding Raymond hand, even though they both know that they could not win against that thing that they are looking at right now, they at least felt a little bit of that fear go away when they are together.

This a feeling of wanting companionship before death.

Nobody wanted to die alone. To know that your life is about to run out and have no one beside you fill one heart with fear.

Sofia holding Raymond hand is not only because she wanted to calm Raymond down. She also wanted to calm her frightened heart.

Sofia had seen this thing when she first enters and it made her entire body felt goosebumps. She gulped in fear as she stares at it.
