Chapter 1699: Those Thoughts
In a forest somewhere in the world.
The sound of the birds are non-existent. Only the sound of the wind. The sound of the leaves fluttering. The sound of the grass swaying.
There is a woman. Long black hair, tall, beautiful and have a bow and arrow on that bow. She seems to be waiting for something.
Her eyes look around.
She just stands there. Not moving, still like a statue. The wind blows and the leaves flutters, the grass sways and suddenly something fly up.
It was a bird. However, it is not a normal bird. It has the upper body and wings of an eagle with the lower body of a griffin
Its body is golden, its wings red, and its face is white, most notable for its prominent beak. And there is a crown of fire on top of this bird head.
This woman smiles, raise up her bow and then she releases it.
It was just a simple movement.
But from the moment she pull the bow, it was like the wind in the entire forest gathers on her bow.
When she releases her finger, a spark of fire seems to ignite.
The few inches away from the bow, the arrow gathers momentum and the laws of the world gathers around the arrow.
A few meters away from the bow, the laws that is gathered around the arrow began to travel to the tip of the arrow.
And the arrow changes its form.
It is no longer a normal arrow.
But a world destroying arrow.
The clouds above even though the arrow is far away, it become clear. It parted
Only one part, only one point
The direction is the same as the direction of the arrow.
All of this complicated process happens in a blink of an eye and before the bird could even register what just happened, its head has already been pierced
The crown of fire upon its head was extinguished almost immediately.
Any regeneration was not possible because of the fire that ravages the bird head. The fire devours it and the birds falls down to the ground
BOOOM!
The dust rises and a large area of the forest was flattened.
The bird is large.
The size of a large hill.
And when it falls down, it clear a lot of space.
This woman was not anxious.
She put back the arrow behind her back and slowly walk toward that bird.
There is sound in the bushes and on the other side of the jungle.
Other beast are scurrying away and some beasts are looking at her.
She did not really care that much.
As long as she has her bows and arrows, there is no place in this world that she did not dare to go.
In just a few minutes she arrived in front of the bird. The dust is filling the area. The woman waves her hand and a powerful gust of wind appears and sweep away the gust.
Looking at the bird corpse she smiles and nodded
"Sina would like some of this bird meat." She was about to skin the bird when suddenly she stops and she look behind her.
a bench.
A round stone table then appears in the middle of the area. The bench is across from each other, the distance is not too far nor too close.
Raymond sit down on the table and Sofia also sit down on her seat.
"I am about to have lunch. You come just at the right moment" Sofia said and Raymond only
smiles at this
"I expected it and so I choose right at this particular moment to show myself"
Sofia only chuckles at this
"Did you release the energy to make me notice you?" Raymond only nods at this. "being a Divine Comprehension leveler gives you many tricks. If you did not want to be found,
I would not be able to find you, right?"
Raymond nodded at this.
And Sofia only sigh at this. She however quickly brush it off and began preparing the food that she wanted to eat.
Some of them is the bird meat that she had just hunted and some of them is the meat of some
other creatures
Raymond did not need to create the fire because Sofia is used to this. She just makes her food beside her bench. It is not like the fire could hurt her anyway.
"Why didn't you just use magic to skin the bird" Raymond suddenly ask when Sofia is busy
grilling the meat
"Magic spoils the meat a bit. A kind of entropy force. At least that is how I experience it.
Maybe if my energy control is a bit better than I did not have to skin it. But if truth be told, I
just simply find skinning these beast gives me some kind of experience. After the world expands, I find myself able to peek into enlightenment state by doing mundane things" "So, that is what I keep doing it" Hearing this Raymond could only nod.
He himself could feel such a thing. Sometimes, he simply meditated deep in the earth, near
the Earth core, or as close as he possibly could and found himself illuminated on certain
things
He just smiles at this. And he began looking at Sofia and he shakes his head
"I am not ready to let you go" he thought to himself. Raymond is not someone who has a
good memory.
It is a good thing. He could forget many things. And that is the reason why he has many
friends. Because he could forgive and forget
However, when it is about Sofia...he could not help but remember
Remember everything about her, remember every moment with her.
He can't forget her, and he can't hold on to her, the only thing he can do when she wanted to
leave is letting her go with ease with the good memories that she have of him and the good
memories he have of her
And he thought it is alright to be alone without her.
It's alright if she goes. Because he was confident... that he could wait for her.
These are his thoughts. Thoughts that he did not dare to convey. So, he could only smile at
these memories.
