Sacrifice: Time of Mine

Avion's appearance began appearing in Mettany's head.

'Eh? Have I gone crazy?' she was not doing it with intention, but, all of her fantasies suddenly flashed within her mind.

She felt guilt. There's a tragedy that was going on and she needs to stay focus.

"Umm, Miss Mettany?" the Risker in front of the line asked. He was currently reporting how many people he has already saved before going back into the capital again.

That Risker was a Rank Dih Elementalist. But when Mettany rolled up her eyes to him, he felt great fear. A massive killing intent was directed towards him so he froze.

Mettany stood up and without warning, her hand waved and the Risker's head spun and detached while blood spurted from his body that stood still before falling down.

"Stupid man, you dare talk to me!?" 

"...." the other staff and Riskers looked at this, their minds still processing the scene in front of them.

Did that just really happened? Amidst all this, Miss Mettany killed someone? For what? 

"Kyahh~~!" a girl besides Mettany shrieked and woke everyone awake.

"There, there, I won't do anything to you, young girl." Mettany mildly smiled as she caressed the terrified girl's head.

"Oh, I forgot I have a stupid king to deal with." her eyes became cold as they swept towards all men, "I will kill every man here later!" 

There was a boom and the silver-haired girl disappeared when the smoke of dust dissipated.

Men fell on their knees. They've felt intimidation that was on the next level. It was as if it was the Guild Master who intimidated them.

The women were not spared. Even though the killing intent and intimidation were not directed towards them, they still felt the coldness and fear.

"What happened here?" a tough voice appeared as a trail of water carried injured people like a train. There were more than a hundred people on that water trail and it kept adding as healers and Plant Elementalists wept their foreheads. A lot of work were needed to be done.

A giant man with tanned skin was in front of this train of water, looking at the scene with sharp eyes.

"Guild Master! Mettany just killed that man and disappeared!" a Rank Dih Risker was able to keep her cool and reported.

The men were still on the ground, trying to stand up. Since neither Houie nor Stresson were there, no Rank Cee Elementalists were there to withstand Mettany's intimidation.

Instead of being surprised, Guild Master Gon frowned. His fists clutched, "It seemed like she's still under their control." he heavily muttered.

The place was silent instead of the banging sound far inside the capital.

"Someone, fill Mettany's place!" he then broke the silence and ordered, "Continue everything! I will deal with her later!"

Although this seemed unfair and has some favoritism added, none raised their complaints against the Guild Master and continued.

The man behind the Risker that just died gulped. What if he was the one who was there earlier? This dead man was his friend and they actually raced against each other.

'What if I'm the one who won?' he trembled and remembered Mettany's terrifying gaze... There was pure hate behind it even though they were basically strangers.

Meanwhile, past the Meyles Mansion in the woods, King Isero was about to reach the ten-meter walls.

"Galion Romen, Avion Teller! You two will be my mortal enemies! I can't live in this world with you two still alive! I swear! Once Haliviana reaches Rank Eses and grants me power, I will personally kill you two!" his shouts cracked at the sky.

A literal outburst of fire was spewing out his eyes. Yet, not only rage and sadness were filling him inside, but also weakness.

King Isero felt so weak. Inwardly, he had already blamed himself for how weak he is a thousand times.

If not for Princess Alisera, he must've already sworn to kill himself after he takes revenge. Only the princess' presence was keeping King Isero sane. Without her, he would definitely fall into insanity.

His beloved for a hundred years may disappear at this moment. Even as time passed, his love for her only faded but never completely dissipated. Sometimes, that love would come back again.

Those were his happy days. It lasted for more than a century. He kept repeating that he should not be greedy, but how could he convince himself?

King Isero could only hope that his wife would be the one who stood victor in the end.

'Ancestor Haliviana, please! She's your descendant! I beg you, help her!' he inwardly prayed while he escaped but there was no surprise.

Passing the wall, the king shed tears once more when he heard.

"Weak man, cry more!"

"Huh-"

Pak!* 

He suddenly felt a smack over his face. The king's head wanted to fly away as it tried to take his neck!

"Urgh!" however, King Isero steeled his muscles and went with the flow as he flew alongside the force.

"HAHAHAHA!" he heard a maniac laugh at the same time he landed on the grassy field outside the wall. That was also when he saw a silver-haired woman under the moon about to land on him with her one foot forward.

Meanwhile, still in the Trading-Hills Resort, the Romen Couple have grim faces. They wanted to complain but couldn't. They could only use all of their healing elesps which were second-rate.

Rank Dih Plant Elemental Healing Elesps were even better than their puny methods. However, they still tried since their only son's life was already fading.

"Kalin, don't you dare stop breathing!" Numui scolded.

"My son, please keep it up, your great-grandfather is about to win!" Shamira cried.

All of their focus was on healing their son while the Rank Ey battle outside was too intense for any of them to realize that there were explosions coming from the middle of the resort.

There, Prince Harold who barely escaped being crushed by the giant had his jaw fallen down.

"The... that giant can't do anything against him!" the rest of his energy was placed onto thiis shout. The prince almost fainted.
