Sacrifice: Time of Mine

"You, people wouldn't know such a pathetic group." the woman continued.

"What group is this?" Tamya asked.

"They are mortals that are full of shits who think they can overcome the Elementalist world when they cannot even defeat me! But, of course, I'm not saying that Elementalists are stronger than me."

'What is this woman talking about...' Edora thought.

"There are people like that? Why do they think they can defeat the Elementalists?" Tamya smiled but her tongue was also sharp.

"Hm, they are succeeding though. The strongest of them can defeat a Rank Ey, I believe."

"What!?" the three girls reacted.

"Are you still talking about mortals? The non-elementalists?" Edora asked.

"Yes, they are martial artists. They are a secret organization that assassinates the Elemenatlists. If there are no Rank Es Elementalists, they would've succeeded a long time ago."

"..." the girls listening to her were speechless. They greatly doubt this woman's words.

"So... you defeated their organization all by yourself?" Tamya asked again, as if in mockery.

The woman glared at her and answered, "Not the whole organization, of course, just the cadres who I once admired but they are just deceiving me all this time. That is why I had to incapacitate and torture them before taking their heads.

"Isn't that real bad?" Mettany asked but Edora and Tamya nodded in agreement to the woman's course of action... if what this woman said is true.

"Then what are you doing out here?" Edora asked in curiosity.

"I'm searching for someone. I don't see him in the city so I'm going there to see if he's there." the woman pointed at the hydra.

"Oh... romantic.." Tamya smiled.

"No, it is rivalry and friendship. He's the only man who can stand beside me and the only one who can challenge my absolute talent. I'm sure that with his power, he should be there where the big shots are."

'Wow, this woman is really full of herself...' the three girls thought.

"However, the Gods are punishing me and took my energy from me. I have no choice but to drop on the ground earlier."

"In other words... you got tired?" Tamya said.

But the woman glared.

"Someone like me will never get tired." she raised her bangs and said, "As you can see, I'm a goddess. You should be grateful that I'm talking to you. Your job is to get me there."

Hearing this, Edora's expression gone neutral and stopped the healing.

"Why'd you stop?" the woman sharply asked.

"I've healed her enough. Can we drop her now?" Edora said.

"Agreed." Mettany and Tamya responded.

"..."

Without saying anything, the woman grabbed Edora's hand. Of course, Edora saw this and reacted. However, she found out that the woman was faster than her!

Bending it back, the woman easily placed Edora on the wooden floor inside the carriage.

Tamya immediately readied her elesps while Mettany jumped out after stopping the horse before taking a fighting stance.

"Let go of her." Tamya glared.

Meanwhile, Mettany asked a different question, "You're not a mortal, are you?"

"No, I am a mortal, for now." the woman answered.

"Then how can you grapple Edora, a Rank Dih Elementalists?" Mettany and Tamya looked at Edora.

Either this woman is lying through her teeth or Edora is an idiot who cannot fight back against a mortal.

Gritting her teeth, Edora tried to release herself but from the way the woman holds it, she couldn't use a bit of her strength.

"What kind of method is this!? I can't use any strength."

But whatever the real situation is, the woman is still an enemy.

"Let her go or we'll fight back." Tamya said but her heart was palpitating. She was wondering what rank this woman is. If they can't feel her aura, this woman can be Rank Cee to Rank Ey!

They wouldn't believe she's Rank Es because these people don't show any weakness.

"Fight back? You think you can defeat me? This is an order, bring me there."

After the woman spoke, Mettany jumped with her fist ready to punch the woman.

Seeing this, the woman easily evaded while using one hand to redirect Mettany's attack towards Tamya.

"Woah!" 

A rumble happened inside the carriage. Fortunately, Tamya was fast on her reaction and shielded herself.

The carriage moved around and Mettany was thrown out.

She took no damage so as she stood up, she wore a puzzled expression. "What happened!?"

"Foolish attempt." the woman only said.

Now that Mettany was out of the way, Tamya cast her elesp. But Marin immediately raised Edora and took her sword.

Seeing this, Tamya immediately retracted her elesp!

"You!" Edora grunted.

"So you are imbeciles too, huh." the woman continued, "Be obedient or I will kill you all one by one!"

Tamya then shouted, "Edora, ready yourself! If she's really that strong, she shouldn't need our help, in other words, she's currently weak! Mettany, force your way in!"

The woman frowned. Tamya was correct. If this woman is Rank Ey or even Rank Bih, she doesn't need a carriage. Just her self-recovery is enough then she would travel by foot which is a lot faster than horses.

If she can, she should've killed the three of them and took the horses for herself, assuming that she needs the horses which she shouldn't if she's that strong. 

Mettany got serious and nodded.

"Wait! Are you really going to attack while I'm hostage!?"

"If she killed you, we will get her. She won't kill you!"

"What if she did!?"

"Just prepare yourself!"

"I hate you two!" Edora shouted.

Meanwhile, Mettany focused and said.

"Wait, I have to imagine Avion molesting me first." after that, she blushed.

But before she could do so, the woman dropped the sword and with stupefied face, she muttered.

"What?"

"That's right, you have no power against these two perverts!" Tamya said.

"No, what name did you say again?" 

"What is perverted about molesting? I think that's pretty normal if it came from Avion." Edora protested.

"Wait, are you talking about Avion Teller?" the woman's disbelieved voice was finally heard.

"..."

"You know him?"
