Sacrifice: Time of Mine

'That worked...?' even Avion was stunned at his own doing, 'It's easier than I thought... or I just got lucky?' 

For a short moment, his face cracked a smirk.

'But either way, it's a success!'

Mettany glanced at Avion and instead of seeing a smug face, in her perspective, she saw a very cool smile from her beloved. She unconsciously felt a little heat but restrained it as soon as she felt it.

Her imagination is a little twisted indeed...

'Thank you, Guild Master! If you didn't force me to train to restrain myself, I would've wasted my husband's effort! Will you rest in peace...' she prayed towards the sky.

The image of the Guild Master was looking at her with dead eyes. Brat, I'm still alive.

'Speaking of Guild Master... I wonder where he is...' Mettany treated the Guild Master, albeit subconsciously, as her father. She was quite aware that her life and freedom from now on are not in her control.

If at least she could say goodbye... She inwardly sighed.

But, speak of the devil, a burst of flame followed by a streak of water came out from one of the edges of the capital wall, traveling towards them at high speed. Yet, for these Rank Es Elementalists, these two Elementalists were like snails that they felt a bit awkward waiting for them.

Riding a fierce combusting fire, Galion landed on the ground, "What happened here?" spreading brief senses, he immediately investigated the people in front of him. However, unfortunately for him, his senses caught the Life Elementalist he was looking for first that he disregarded the others.

Never would he thought that Rank Es Elementalists are there, looking at him.

"There you are!" he acted domineeringly and forcefully. This old man should've retired already but he was there acting all high and mighty as he rushed towards Alisera, "Come with me!"

"Mettany!" following Galion, Guild Master Gon was glad to see the silver-haired girl. But unlike senile Rank Eybi Fire Elementalist, his cautious nature made him investigate the other people.

"Hmm?" he frowned, 'Why can't I feel none of their auras?' after a second, his jaw almost fell onto the ground.

He was filled with shock. Never had he thought that this will happen this soon!

"That spoiled princess is Rank Bih!?" 

'Correct reaction but wrong target!' Mettany mentally rebutted.

"Who are you people?" feeling ignored, Dragonian Sheran asked as she blocked Galion's path towards Alisera.

However, this old man only has his eyes set on Alisera, "Get out of my way! My great-grandson needs saving!"

'Kalin?' Avion raised his eyebrows. Although Kalin could not be considered as his friend, that young master was still his "partner in crime", 'Can I do anything to help him? Wait, but first...'

"Galion, stop!" he warned.

"Hm?" Galion stopped for a moment, thinking who could be calling him. Seeing a handsome man wearing a thick outfit that uncannily looked like clouds while hovering, he raised an eyebrow, 'Why does this man know my name? But he's for later!... Urgh!? Is this woman blind!? How can she block a Rank Eybi?!'

"Get out of the way!"

Avion tried to continue his words, but alas, a Rank Eybi is faster than his voice.

"They are not your matc-!"

Galion had already waved his arm like a maniac and tried to push Dragonian Sheran aside.

But...

'The... blind woman should've been tossed to the side... why does it seem I just slap a mosquito on her arm?'

"Huh?" Galion shivered as he took a glance at the "blind woman" who is like a dark abyss, staring at him, "W-who are you?... Why can't I sense your... rank? Eh?"

'Shit, I'm really getting old... I'm sorry, Kalin.' that was the Old Galion's last thought.

In the split second after that thought, a seemingly delicate had smashed his wrinkly face!

PAK*

The slap of the possibly strongest Rank Ey towards Haliviana's legend, Rank Eybi Galion Romen created a short tremor on the ground as the wind exploded with a very crispy collision which resounded into everyone's ears.

Princess Alisera looked up toward the dragon. At that moment, a goal was set on her mind.

Meanwhile, the old Rank Eybi Elementalist was thrown like a cannonball and rolled like a wheel detached from its moving car.

Although his Rank Eybi body wouldn't die from that, it still made everyone gulped.

'I would not mess with this woman.'

'R.I.P.' Avion closed his eyes.

The heavy atmosphere was only destroyed when Old Maytan spoke with a worried face, "This old man doesn't seem to have bad intentions. I have, unfortunately, seen too many faces like that. He may be just one of those people who are too desperate to save their love ones." he waved his left hand and the meters tall wall of the Trading-Hills Capital suddenly opened like automatic doors in a mall.

That phenomenon woke the Guild Master who was watching the Rank Eybi Elementalist that kept tumbling as if wanting to go to an adventure.

"A disaster happened here, since we have already solved the current problem... Mighty Troop, save the survivors!" the Rank Es World Elementalist heavily ordered.

"Yes, Sir!" the Ten-Man Mighty Troop shouted in unison as Rank Ey Earth Elesps activated. They were all drilled to the core and they efficiently moved.

Seeing this, Princess Alisera remembered the King of Karan, "Old man! My Papa is there too, I want to save him!"

'As expected of the princess... Calling the Might of Torge, Old man.' Avion thought.

Seeing the princess' pitiful and desperate expression, Old Maytan didn't hesitate, "Lead the way!"

Princess Alisera beamed with a smile as she pointed, "There, strong old man!"

Before moving out, Old Maytan slightly bowed towards the others and humbly said, "And the rest, please give this old man a favor and help the others."

Avion didn't say anything as he didn't feel any threat if King Isero came back to life. Now that he is wanted by Gamon which sounds a bit creepy, he should be safe for a while.

His eyes rolled towards the Penta Elementalist, 'He will be my biggest restriction in the future.'

Meanwhile, Gamon felt Avion's eyes and glanced back with a mysterious gaze. Avion felt a chill while that bearded Rank Es laughed, "HAHAHA! Why does it seem like we're bad people? Of course we will help!"

"Yes" Dragonian Sheran nodded. They are not bad people. After all, they were united to protect their continent from the Conqueress in the first place.

Old Maytan then kindly smiled in return before moving out faster than anyone could blink.

"You! Where is that man's great grandson? I feel pity for him." Gamon looked at the dumbfounded Guild Master who can't move on.
