Chương 580: 83.12 Reflection

The field of static shrunk even further, now reduced into almost something nonexistent as Alset looked at me with hope in her eyes. It was almost painful to look at; to know that I might let her down after all this posturing was terrifying to think about.

"Are you sure? Are you sure you can do it?"

I discreetly gestured everyone to back off as I finally took the last step and hugged the girl, "Yes. I'm absolutely sure. If not, then I'll die trying anyway."

A choked gasp erupted from the girl's lips. I can feel her tears dripping onto my shoulder as she cried. If my earlier feeling of fear was but a spark then, now it was an inferno of terror at the thought of failing now. It'd be a monumental disaster for me if this last shot wouldn't even manage to put a dent into the effort of achieving peace. And for some reason, I have a feeling that I just added another blade over my neck in the event that I do fail harder than a diamond in this endeavor.
