This was no time to be staring emptily into the air, looking dazed!
Thinking so, Xavier clenched his right arm, but it was empty.
"Fuck."
A subtle and small curse withered under his breath as a result.
At some point during the collapse, he had lost his sword and only weapon. Now Xavier was unarmed and seemingly defenceless.
Xavier was about to quickly rush in after Ceres, who was confronting the Sand Worm alone, but quickly winced under the strain of his wounded shoulder.
Meanwhile, a powerful exchange continued to unravel before him as the pressure from Ceres' and the Sand Worms attacks spread as far reaching him from his position.
Xavier had to admit it, it was pathetic.
He had spoken big about how much of a liability having Alex and the others around would be to Ceres, hut wasn't he also in the same boat then?
He was ranked Seventh among his peers, but the gap that existed between he and Ceres went far more than just that.
