Sacrifice: Time of Mine

The Rank Eeh Trio were then defeated without them being able to do anything. The results of the Ascension Battle:

Avion Teller won and is qualified to ascend!

'What is this aura!?' inside a cage on a carriage, the Demolisher smiled as he felt pressure from the stadium he was about to be handed to.

'Elementalists really are on another level. Looked like Avion Teller and I will be seeing each other on a hell's battlefield!' instead of being demoralized, the Demolisher felt a fire within him.

However, he didn't know that even the Elementalists who were bringing him in were feeling the pressure as well, and also, the fact that Avion will now be brought to the Rank Dih stadium, starting on the lower stages.

In there, male and female are no longer separated as Rank Dih battles and above are mostly dependent on elesps and the strength of elesps is not based on the physical strength.

That is why when Avion was about to be brought over, he had a companion, someone who had ascended not because of completing the Ascension Battle but because of ranking up.

"Avion?"

"Tamya?"

Inside a cage pulled by horses, Avion and Tamya were placed inside, both surprised.

"What are you doing here!?" Tamya's face went from placid to shocked to a brightened one.

Avion smiled back, happy to see someone he knows, "I won the Ascension Battle and is about to be brought over to the Rank Dih's stadium. What about you?"

Jemer who was the one coaching the horses opened his ears wide. He was very grateful that he didn't die yesterday. After the battle, Supreme Elders just went away with their Crown Princes and Dragonian Sheran's 'Little Sister Seran'

The night of that day has been restless for him which was evident from his black eye bags. Although Rank Dih Elementalist can stay awake for three nights and still have energy, the fear and anxiety were very tiring.

"Woah, I don't what that is but congrats! As for me," Tamya proudly smiled, "I ranked up and unlocked my Conditioned Elesk!"

"Oh, congrats to you too, Tamya!" Avion was about to clap but Tamya lowered her head which he had no choice but to pat.

'Maybe girls like getting pat on the head.' he thought as he patted Sheran's head back then because Darea had done the same. He didn't expect Sheran to like it so he continued doing it.

'If I'm correct, big brothers usually do this!' Avion felt right doing it.

"So that's why my moving up is delayed because they want to bring us over at the same time." Tamya giggled.

"Yeah, I'm finally going to see Mettany again."

The brightness on Tamya's face suddenly vanished, "Hah...?" while her smile still remained.

"Ah...?" Avion began sweated, "I-I mean... I've always looked at her as a little sister so I'm very worried what happened to her."

"You worry about that guinea pig?"

"What?" Avion felt like he heard something wrong.

"I'm just wondering if you're worried about me too." Tamya then asked as she leaned over as if forcing an answer.

"Of course, I actually intend to look for you at first but I was needed to fight."

"You mean... you intended to look for me first?" Tamya's eyes dazzled.

"Y-yeah, I would go through the Rank Eeh's stadium first so it's natural you would be the first one I would look for."

However, Tamya could only hear the words, "Yeah... it's natural you would be the first one I would look for."

Meanwhile, behind the horses, Jemer felt a chill that only ended now.

'Why am I always feeling the goosebumps ever since I met Avion?' he thought.

Avion looked at Tamya's happy face, 'I guess that's okay... I keep forgetting that I see Mettany and Alisera only as little sisters, nothing more! They are precious friends and family! Although it seemed like Alisera hates me now, I'll try to make it up with her!'

He then raised an eyebrow, 'But why do I feel like Tamya changed? Is it because she ranked up? Is this normal? She feels a little scary when I mentioned Mettany...' he then shrugged his shoulders, 'Nah... must be nothing.'

While they were on their way, the two endlessly chatted in a closed space. Tamya was getting closer and leaning forward as time passes that Avion doesn't realize.

However, while they were chatting, people would notice them as they were conspicuous. Many would look at them as the perfect couple. A cute girl and a handsome boy together. Being caged is only a twist.

Seeing them imprisoned like that made the surrounding people remember about the colosseum.

"Oh yeah, I remembered, the final battle royale will finally be scheduled three days from now."

"Seriously? I can't keep up since there's so many things that had been happening lately."

"There have been so many royal battles to keep up and there have been big rumors lately. Like the appearance of the Supreme Elders yesterday in a Rank Eeh's stadium  and the Conqueress's army going their way here."

"Hahaha, how can that be possible? The Conqueress only begun her conquest over the Centre Continent since she defeated God Centre... So why would she shift her attention here when the Lord Sorcerer is still well... maybe... and she is still far from conquering the Centre Continent?"

"Well, there's also rumors about the Lord Sorcerer secretly dyin-"

"Let's not talk about that, okay? It's not that I'm scared but it just doesn't concern us."

"It doe-"

"Shh-! Shh!... Shh!... So what about the final battle royale, who's participating in it?"

"...Of course, the Top 20 got in which isn't a surprise. However, with the exception of the Rank 19th and 14th."

"Aren't 19th and 14th... both women... -ah! You mean?"

"Yeah! They were the unfortunate ones who met the Merciless Beheader in their match-ups! Although two can win, it is not against the rules to only have one standing."

"So the Merciless Beheader and the One Punch Woman fit right in."

"That's right. However, the executives are saying about having wild cards."

"Woah... we have the dark horses and now we have wild cards. I'll definitely watch this fight!"

Hearing this, Tamya smiled, "Merciless Beheader... One Punch Woman..."

"You know them?" Avion asked.

"A little." Tamya coquettishly answered.
