Sacrifice: Time of Mine

Marin didn't answer immediately. She just closed her eyes and smirked.

"None of you would be able to comprehend it."

"I think that's just short for saying I'm lying."

Edora blurted out making Marin's face twitched which she sharply rebuked.

"You mortals don't even believe that I'm a Goddess, how can you believe my next words?" 

"Then, Ms. Goddess, what is your proof?" Edora smiled.

Marin clenched her fist and clicked her tongue.

"This is why I hate mortals!"

...

While they dauntlessly venture into the hydra, not knowing that there are seas in between them and their destination, the battle in Gonror Plains continued.

Residents of that city flee somewhere else. But even as they flee, they were still caught by the shockwaves and trembles of the earth. Even Elementalists had a hard time evacuating on their own.

The non-elementalists looked at the hydra and dragon as Gods while the higher-ranking Elementalists knew well that this is a fight between Rank Es Elmentalists.

A day had already passed since the start of the battle.

'Is there not a limit to her fire!?' Hearoid roared.

He was the large hydra. Before, he only had four-six heads at a time, but now, there were exactly twenty-seven heads that grew from his body! 

However, almost half of these heads had long turned to ashes or melted. Many of them were charred and bleeding. Furthermore, he could no longer produce any more water to fight off the dragon's breath.

While Hearoid focuses on defense, Hanmer, the large furred cyclops was still active and attacking.

His muscles were now three times as large as before!

But even then, he was still losing the fight without Hearoid's help.

'In terms of brute strength, I should be winning! However, this dragon's speed and defenses are top-notch for her size!'

Hanmer jumped again with large hammers in both of his hands. This is one of his natural elesps - World Crusher.

Each hammer was almost the size of his colossal form, however, he was still able to carry it like normal weapons.

With both World Crushes on top of him, Sheran didn't dare to fight him head-on. Opening her mouth, the great fire blasted once again.

Sheran had a rushed rank-up. She had no Rank Es Elesps nor natural ones that could go against her opponents. So she was pouring every bit of her energy into her breath. But even with this situation, she was winning with sheer firepower!

The fire reached Hanmer first as Sheran retreated. Every flap of her wings would push away the clouds. Hearoid had to continuously produce them so that they could have the advantage of the environment.

The hydra's speed will get faster in these wet surroundings, defenses are easier to execute, and there will be greater flexibility!

'We should be winning but not only is this dragon faster than the two of us, but its defense is also tough! Hanmer had already successfully hit her several times. Even I would be weakened by his brute force, however, she had yet to slow down!'

They don't want to admit it but if this continues any further, they will lose!

After getting blasted by Sheran's fiery breath, fog covered their battlefield, Hanmer fell onto the ground. His tough skin was charred black as his own blood soaked onto them. As his World Crushers dropped, it produces a massive boom that shook the earth.

"I cannot continue any longer! Hearoid! Stall her, I'll go help the other!"

The hydra didn't reply but had come out of hiding. Hanmer looked around. There were two more battlefields, one is a dome and the other had chaotic five elements.

'From what I observed earlier, one of the other enemies is a wolf. I've heard about it, the Three-Tailed Prismatic Wolf. Its speed is the fastest out of all of us. I am at a disadvantage.'

While he thought, Hanmer was already running, every step of him was creating web-like cracks on the ground. His one eye looked at the farthest battlefield where five elements were going out wild.

Even with one eye, he had great eyesight. With a slight focus, he could see it.

'There are four enemies there!'

"Matriach, we can't go any further!" Elder Khor bled and shouted.

Quiare had turned into a phoenix, traversing through the air to kill Krisiana only for Kerion to stand in front of her in an instant.

Fwoosh*

The fire immediately vanished. Quiare almost dropped but the fear of getting caught by the half-man half-pig beast made her desperate to escape.

"Just... one more hit!" Quiare muttered as she glared at Krisiana who was bleeding all over.

Elder Khor went to Quiare for support but suddenly felt the strong urge to attack. Immediately, he cast an elesp.

"Kerion, get awayss!" Krisiana was now fearing that Kerion would hit her again.

"My punches are weaker compared to their all-out attack!" Kerion was also in a bad mood for getting mind-controlled all the time.

And just as he said those words, he turned around and punched Krisiana again.

Pak* bringing her down and at the same time, Elder Khor stopped and gritted his teeth.

'I almost hit the Matriarch again!'

"Are you okay, Matriarch?"

While he asked that, he looked at the center of the battlefield. If not for Gamon, they would've killed each other.

Krisiana couldn't control Gamon so she focused herself on controlling the two Supreme Elders that arrived the day before. The Ninth General was not weaker than any of the other Generals. Being able to control a fellow Rank Es Elementalist's mind was more than enough to earn her position.

While she just focused and get protected, their enemies will fight each other.

But the problem for her was that her protector was the one destroying her concentration. She had to protect Kerion's mind first while making the Supreme Elders attack their Matrirach.

Meanwhile, Jmsdwefshiuwen was bleeding all over his body. He had been escaping the chaotic five elements but his speed was not enough to dodge every spur of elements. It is as if his movements were getting predicted!

He can retreat but that would mean that the chaotic five elements would go towards the Krisiana.

"If not for those three weaklings, we would've taken down this troublesome Penta Elementalists!" Jmsdwefshiuwen shouted.

"When will he lose either control or energy!?"

But at that moment, a shadow loomed over them. They were too focused in the fight that none of them saw the giant coming after them.
