Chapter 1377: The Arrow that is Lost

Chapter 1377: The Arrow that is LostBy now, the whole world is watching and waiting the return of Death Monarch to Pandemonium.          

Dark forces who hides in the shadow began moving, and these dark forces are planning and scheming    

The world powers also show their attitude and the whole world enter into this period of tense silence.      

Ships filled the Turbulent Seas, one of the most dangerous sea in the world.      

There is a woman in a part of the world that also had heard the news.      

this woman who had heard the declaration of Death Monarch only look at the sky when she first heard it.    

A day had passed since then and now she looks at the sky once again and she seems to be thinking of something.    

This woman has long hair reaching almost her waist.      

Her hair is braided in an elflock. Such long hair would usually prompt such question, of how she could fight with such a long hair.    

Those who fight with her personally all knows that even her hair could be a weapon.    

Her face is beautiful and flawless with no imperfections. She wears a long sleeve dark green lined with purple colors and a symbol of an arrow on the back of her clothes.    

She wears a gauntlet that seems to have some runic inscription.  Around her there is an energy field that seems to slice all chaotic energy that surround her      

She sat on a huge stone boulder. These stone boulders seem to be shaped by an external force.      

Around her is thousands of corpses of beast scattered all over    

Some lost their limbs, while some were minced to death. Some look like it had passes through a meat grinder and the smell of death and desolation are strong here.      

For the beast that still have their body intact, each of these beast have countless of holes over their body    

Some had holes on their forehead.      

Some have it on their body. But there is no trace of the weapon used to pierce these beast body.    

A sound enters her ears and she sighed    

'There is still a few that I have missed' she mutters.    

The sound become even clearer and the sound seems to be coming closer to her.      

Judging by the sound alone like the sound of the ground cracking, one could make an assumption that the thing that is coming closer to her is very large in size.      

This woman makes a move. She pointed her finger forward. And from her finger, an apparition of an arrow is formed and the arrow flew forward, sizzling the air and then it hit something    

There is a monster who is running toward her.      

The distance between her and the beast is five kilometers away. But, she seems to sense it and with one finger killed that beast.      

Behind the back of this woman is a bow with intricate design.          

But it is not only the design that made this bow seems special. It is the power that radiated from this bow.    

Even though the woman did not use the bow, the bow glow brightly when she made an arrow apparition sapper with her finger attack    

This appearance, this method, there is only one woman in the world that could do what she did and do it with such elegance and power    

This woman is none other than Sofia the Divine Archer, the second strongest woman in the world      

Since she left Pandemonium, not many people know where she went.      

While she is not one of the top powerful people in the world, she is acknowledged by many as the second strongest woman in the world.      

And she also is not some small figures in the world.      

Sofia and her bow is known to the world.      

When compared with the influence between her and Death Monarch, yes, her influence is weaker    

But that is not exactly a fair comparison. Compared to Death Monarch influence, who could compare to it?    

But never underestimate this woman connection. Even though she left Pandemonium, she has many contacts and connections.    

She has many allies more than she has enemies which is quite different from Death Monarch who have more enemies than he has allies.      

She has friends in the World Government, the Republic and even a few in the League of Freedom. And her strength is also improving since the Multiversal Convergence ended.      

She suddenly sighed    

'You finally returned' she said as she heaved a sigh of relief. She did not say anything yesterday. It was like hearing him return shock her beings.      

It was not that she is not happy. She just doesn't know how to feel about it. It is a weird feeling now.      

In the past, she would probably rush to the sky and went to the Turbulent Sea and met him. But she made her decision.      

And now it is time for him to make his own decision. It might seem that it was always her that always wanted him to make a choice.    

But his choice is her choice in a way. She is not this tough woman the world seems to want to paint her as.    

She is quite fragile. And she could not bear the pain…...if she is the one being abandoned again. It is selfish. It is deplorable.      

But sometimes love is like this. Sometimes, it is sunshine and rainbows. At times, it is full of storms.    

And at times it is the most beautiful thing and at other times, it is the ugliest thing. Love….is never one thing.      

At least not to her and not to him. She sighed.      

She was thinking about some things that happened in the past. Though it is not long ago.      

'Could it be; it haunts me still' she thought to herself.          

Her memories and dreams had always been about that day.    

She had lived long enough and seen many things yet every time she went to sleep, she seems to dream that day    

And each time the dreams are vivid and felt real.    

But there is a difference between dreams and reality. In dreams, her answer was different. What she dreams about is the day that Azief proposed to her.    

And each time, she said yes.      

And each time, she wonders.      

She sighed and close her eyes before she heard footsteps behind her. She slowly opens her eyes and look behind her.    

Behind her is a man. The man is six feet six, tall and muscly and lean. Beside that man is a floating mace    

When he walks the Earth, the ground seems to treble. But he did not exert any pressure. But there is a force around him that seems to resonate with the Earth    

This person is none other than Raymond.      

The world would be surprised if they know that Raymond and Sofia is adventuring together    

There has always been rumor about Raymond and Sofia because they used to work together. This is also the reason why people like Jesse, Raymond right hand man seems to be close with Sofia.      

Raymond had also disappeared from public eyes after the Multiversal Convergence.      

There were many rumors about his disappearance. Some said that he is in a secret lab of the World Government, honing his strength so that he could break through to Divine Comprehension.    

Some said that he went to outer space to find his opportunity. Some said that he is in seclusion, gathering energy to break through.    

What the world doesn't know was that Raymond and Sofia met a month ago in the forest of Amazons.    

Nowadays, the Amazon forest had a predator inside it that terrorizes the people. The predator is an alien beast    

Raymond got the information from Hirate. It is an extraterrestrial species called Ten Qu Asha. Or they could be also called Rauja.      

There is not much that is known about them other than that they hunt other species for sport.      

They are large, sapient and sentient humanoid creatures who possess advanced technology.    

From what Raymond had understood, they were dragged in during the Multiversal Convergence.      

At first, their code name is Predator but Hirate got their name species from a source.      

Raymond did not ask much but he could trust Hirate and all the information about the beast was given to him by an operative of the World Government    

So, he heads to the Amazon to fight this predator.    

As for Sofia, after leaving Pandemonium, she began hunting monsters and hone her archery abilities.        

She has improved considerably from the past and her control over her bow has also improved.      

Sofia in the past was not any better than any other person that choose the class of Arche.    

The only thing that separates her from the rest of the Archer class is that she had the Houyi Bow.      

With the Houyi Bow, her arrows are always stronger than any other archers.      

Its speed, its impact and many other transformations that her arrows could undergoes, it is all thanks to the fact that she wielded the Houyi Bow.      

The world had once saw her pulling an arrow and the whole world trembles. It is only because of the limitation of her realm, that she could not use the Houyi Bow effectively.      

But, in the past sixth month, she had been honing not her energy but her connection with the bow.      

People are not that oblivious now to the Artifact. Some have its own spirituality. Like Raymond mace that could talk, Sofia also tries to communicate with her weapons.      

There is such a thing as being one with the weapon. Once she synchronized with a weapon that has spirituality, the more powerful she could become    

After she left Pandemonium, she did not engage in global politics nor did she interfere with the world powers. She usually hunted monsters that is titanic and powerful in nature.      

If she could not beat it, she would run. Then she would plan a path to victory and then return to finish the job.    

She heard there was a monster that has been terrorizing the people in the Amazons.    

The Amazon forest might be under the jurisdiction of the League of Freedom but after the Earth expansion, League of Freedom sphere of influence is mostly around Argentina and Brazil is now run by rising warlords.      

So, Sofia came there without any worries of being in conflict with the League of Freedom and she is quite confident that if she does meet with the forces of League of Freedom, they would at least sell her some face    

And in her hunt she coincidentally met with Raymond.      

They work together to fight this predator that hunts things. This predator did not hunt for survival. But it hunts people, monsters for some kind of initiation rites.    

After they managed to kill that predator, they kind of team up with each other. And now, they are at an unnamed continent with all kinds of monster    

Raymond saw Sofia looking at the sky and said    

'You're not going?' It is a question. A question he did not ask yesterday. But a day had passed. So, he asks now    

And he waited for the answer
