Lord Shadow

Chapter 1701: The Line

Everyday seems to be raining for her. Since he left her, this endless rainy season began for her.

The tears wonʼt stop

When she is alone at night, looking at the moon, thinking of old memories, tears would unconsciously forms on the edge of her eyes and once she cries, she could not stop

Tiem for her seems to be stopped since that day of proposal. The tears flooded her and each time she cries, it felt like the memories chokes her.

Like a rain drop that pelted her with memories. And each good memories is like thorn that pricks her.

Someday, if he came back, she wonʼt let him go ever again. The only problem is.....will he return to her.

Azief has problem. She also ha problem. Maybe the problem was not that they have problems. But they never think of trying to get through it together

They could share the happy moments. But when they are in pain, when they are hurt, they did not want to worry the others.

Azief tries to open his heart, but there is only so much he could do. She tries to trust him, but there is also only so much she could do.

Sofia seems to be thinking a lot of things. Raymond let her and after a few moments that passes, Sofia nodded her head ”Iʼll join the World Government” Raymond smiles and throws her a token ”The Island of Peace nowadays hides itself under a stealth formation. Without that token, it is impossible to pinpoint the exact location of the Island. If you are ready to use it, just crush the token. The Teleporter Disk would teleport you directly to the Island”

Sofia nodded. ”And you....what are you going to do now? Going back to the Island?” Raymond shook his head ”I actually planned to help Death Monarch complete his Ten Realm project. But he has been missing for a month now”

Raymond could see that Sofia face is not that good when he mentioned about Death Monarch Raymond just scoff. It is clear that she is worried about him ”I guess I would just say this to her” he thought to himself

Raymond then added ”But Jean just send me a telepathic message before that says Death Monarch is still on Earth. When he is ready to start his project, I have no doubt that he would call me. Until then I am quite free”

Sofia is a woman that is easy to see her feelings. At least, to him, it is easy. Was it because he is always looking at her? Or is it because she never see the need to hide her feelings when she is with him?

Raymond could not really tell.

Raymond smiles bitterly. He could see that when he mentioned that Death Monarch is still on Earth, she relaxed a little ”Sheʼs worried about him” he thought to himself.

Sofia did not notice ”Hirate would not complain if you are going out for a long-extended time?” ”Hirate would understand”

Hearing this Sofia nodded to herself. A smile on the corner of her mouth. ”I am hunting a Giant Whale tomorrow. I heard its call nearby. It has been eating all of those smaller whales and it made the area of the sea around here is empty somewhat. I fear if it keeps doing this, it would create a baren sea without any sea creature around here. Want to help me hunt it tomorrow?”

Raymond nodded and he laughed. ”The hunting life seems to be a good fit for you” Sofia nodded ”It took my mind off things”

And even though she smiles, Raymond could see that there is a trace of sadness in that smile.

The evening turns to night, and a small stone house was erected in this island. The sound of whales droning could be heard from inside the sea, rising above and filling the area of the island.

A campfire in front of the stone house, and two old friends, talking to each other.

That night, Raymond and Sofia talks about old stories, reminisce about old memories and the friendship between them is rekindled again

Destiny and fate turns again. The diverted path is about to converge again. Things that should happen would happen.

And those who is looking, and knows where to look, probably is looking at this matter with great attention

The seed to the Marriage of the Earthshaker probably begins here .....

On the other side of the world, destiny and fate is trying to salvage the original story.

And on the other side of the world, there is Azief. The cold wind is blowing, harsh snow is falling.

His white robe flutters and he is walking slowly on the mountain. He is on top of a mountain peak ”What a high mountain” he mutters to himself.

He is quite relaxed walking amidst this harsh snowfall. But around ten-meter radius of him, the snow would repel itself and his eyes could see clearly the road. ”The energy is chaotic around here. I could sense Katarina energy. And this other energy, must be Rosulka” he sighed.

He then look upwards ”The peak touch the sky, the bottom clench the world” he thought to himself.

Just by looking upwards, he could see the boundaries of the sky. The force of the Heavenly Will is also strong here, emanating pressure. ”It would be a good place to temper the body. If only it is easy to traverse here” Azief is of course an exception to this.

His body is already perfect and his physique aloe could destroy worlds.

But for people of lower level, just to reach this peak would probably damage their life force and challenge their physique to the limit.

Ttak!

Ttak!

Ttak!

His footsteps sound crisp as he steps on the cold hard ground. The area of the top of the peak is flat. ”A sword cut the peak. Cut it straight clean” Azief could feel the sword intent still present on the ground

It is like a clearing ground. He looks down and see weblike crack on the ground, and dozens of sword marks.

Each sword marks has its own intent. And as he walks, he could see the figure of someone. And he sighed. ”First, let change the weather a bit” Azief waves his hand, a gust of wind flew from his simple act of waving his hand

The snow was pushed away, and the winds turns gentle.

And then he sees Katarina more clearly. She is leaning on a stone boulder on the corner of the clearing. Just ahead is an empty space that would lead straight down to the mountain.

Golden blood could be send ripping from her wounds.

Azief did not panic at this scene. Instead, he walks slowly to Katarina. Katarina seems weak and she seems like she was about to fall unconscious.

But when she heard footsteps, she look up and saw Azief. There is a bit of shock on her face but that expression did not last long

She smiles and she chuckles a bit ”I did not want you to see me like this” she did not even wonder how he found her or why he is here at this moment

She just accepted the matter and said these words. Azief sighed and shakes his head. ”I did not want to see you hurt like this either. But here I am” he crouched and look at her.

Look at her wounds and ask ”Who did this?” ”There is no need for you to pursue this”

Azief sighs and simply said the name he believes that is responsible for this ”Rosulka?”

Katarina only smiles bitterly but his silence is basically telling him the answer. ”How much more would you let her go? Isnʼt this enough? I donʼt think it is your fault” But then he remains silent.

Clealry, Azief himself did not know how to judge this. He knows little about this feud, this game between Katarina and Rosulka.

And he is not the best person to judge this kind of thing. So, before he could even say more things he shouldnʼt, he decided to halt his tongue. ”Uhuk” Katarina suddenly coughed up blood. But there is a smile on her face. She did not seem to think of it as a big problem at all.

And she did not seem to be angry even though she is beaten badly like this.

Katarina did not say anything at this. Only silence. And between Azief and Katarina, they usually communicate in that silence.

They seems to be able to know each other hearts and mind, even with silence. Gesture. Their face expression. her silence makes Azief even more uncomfortable. He knows what Katarina is implying

This is her matter.

And while Azief meddles in some of her matter, there is some that he did not

Because he also has things like that. Things he did not want others to meddle with, not matter how close they are.

And Rosulka is probably that topic for hers

He only shakes his head and then he put his hand on top of Katarina shoulder. ”you could not escape from here for a few days if you are still injured like this” he mutters as his energy is activated, drawing from the energy of Heaven and Earth. >>
