Sacrifice: Time of Mine

Chapter 283: Fight With A Different Intention



Long Hair pulled Avion's separated arm.

Avion's flesh twisted and blood spurted everywhere on the ground.

"Sss-!!" he sharply hissed from the sheer pain he was experiencing. However, to Avion's fear, Long Hair was still not finished.

With a severed hand on one hand and still holding Avion on another, the old man mercilessly used Avion's own arm to pierce his heart.

'I will die!' all of his senses told him. Once an object is through his body, no matter how much Avion uses Revert, that object will stay.

So if Long Hair realized that Avion would not be killed by piercing through his heart but by piercing through his brain, then Avion would definitely die.

"Tsk!"

There was a click of a tongue.

Long Hair placed his hand forward, however, Avion was not gone. The arm he took disappeared and on his other grasp, he felt nothing but air.

Looking around, Long Hair spotted Avion meters away. Avion looked completely fine.

'Is what I'm fighting a puppet all along?'

At this point, Long Hair guessed, 'It is possible that by using the Life and Earth Element, one can create a clone of themselves. Is the true Avion Teller trying us by making his puppet physically weaker? But if that is correct, I fought someone that shouldn't be offended.'

That was his only explanation. Although a Di Elementalist with both Life and Earth Elementals is very rare, they exist somewhere, a few of them.

Long Hair was wrong for the most part but he is certainly correct on one thing.

"Hay..." Avion sighed. There was irritation on his face.

It was not that he was irritated because he lost since he was still holding back but because he felt immense pain and was nearly killed by his own arm.

"Calm down... I've had worse..." he told to himself.

Remembering what he had to do just to escape the situation was a needle in Avion's head. However, he quickly stabilized his emotions.

Before he was pierced in the chest, he stopped time. To escape Long Hair's grasp, he needs his arm cut again. That time, he had to do it to himself.

It was strenuous work and he didn't use used Revert. Because if he did, his arm would be crushed again by the time-frozen old man and his progress of cutting his arm would go back to zero.

Since he can't Overclock himself in the stopped world, Avion had to manually remove his hand from the tight grasp without rest nor Revert, slowly.

When his arm finally slipped out, he used Revert and rested for a few hours before resuming time.

He had rested but seeing Long Hair's face made him remember the torture from earlier.

"Long Hair," Avion calmly called.

The sudden change of Avion's expression and behavior made Long Hair's heartbeat increase.

Meanwhile, those who were watching the fight, Raff and Marin couldn't follow the intense battle when blood exploded then Avion appeared meters away from Long Hair.

Let's not forget about Jemer who finally began to have trouble breathing.

"I've made a mistake and lost. The battle had concluded." Avion indifferently continued, "If you don't want to die, heal Jemer and you will only experience a broken arm."

Long Hair heard a ridiculous statement.

'He admitted he lost? But he should still be able to continue since he's seemed full of vitality. No... his abilities would be too broken if there's no drawback to it. Maybe now he's paying the price in a way I don't understand.'

"You lost, meaning, you don't get to demand." he replied.

"No, this is a threat, not a demand. If you don't, I wouldn't mind continuing the fight." Avion said with a light tone. As time passes, his mood was getting better.

Long Hair frowned, 'He still can!? What is his intention? Is that a bluff??'

Long Hair wanted to just let it go. He's especially aware that if Avion didn't make a mistake trying to connect the last punch earlier, he wouldn't be caught.

'Now that he knows my trap, he will surely not fall onto it next time. However, I can't turn my back now...' he glanced at Marin.

"This is a deathmatch, remember?" without any choice, Long Hair said as he thought. 'There should still be a lot of time remaining for the duration of the All-Round Powering Si-i.'

Avion glanced at Jemer and said, "If Jemer dies and so will you. So from now on, I will fight not to experience your martial skills but to solely remind you about my threat."

'When did I create such a good friend?' Jemer thought as a bead of tear slid from his eyes.

"Then do it if you can." Long Hair breathed in, 'I will definitely teach this kid a lesson for threatening an elderly. I didn't train all my life to be beaten by someone weaker than a Rank Ey Elementalist.'

"Okay" Avion then moved forward. He was fast but at the very next moment, that speed was like a snail compared to his next speed.

+4 Overclock!

Swoosh*

There was only the sound of the wind before their third round of clash began.

"Unbelievable..." Raff muttered.

Meanwhile, Marin was studying each of their movement. Long Hair forgot why he was holding back.

'So that's the process of his movement...' she nodded while trying her best to catch their movement.

In Raff's eyes, he could only see streaks of light and shadows entangling to each other.

But Marin knew, 'Avion Teller is dominating the battlefield with his pure speed!'

Long Hair was solely depending on his senses as he blocked Avion's attack from all directions.

'He's using that strange ability that is similar to a Light Elementalist's Blink while having unbelievable speed! His skills deteriorated when his speed increase but that increase of speed was enough to overwhelm my techniques!'

Long Hair was barely standing as he tried to misdirect all of Avion's attack. Long Hair was trying to take control of Avion's movement by deflecting it. Using this, he could accurately predict Avion's next move in advance.

However, Avion's speed and strength were still something that Long Hair couldn't defend using his complex techniques of misdirection and prediction!

Meanwhile, Avion had his mind at full concentration.

'Underclock-Overclock-Revert-Revert-Underclock-Revert-Overclock-'

The faster his attack, the more powerful it is. But at the same time, his frail body couldn't take its recoil. So the moment his attack connected, he would use Revert.
