Chapter 824: The divine archer sofia (2/2)

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.
