Sacrifice: Time of Mine

"They need to pay up"

The old stall owner's eyes glimmered as if he was looking at a hero at that moment.

"No, young boy, you shouldn't be reckless." the stall-owner felt guilty from his act earlier, "That two were clearly Guild Master Gon and Miss Mettany, we, normal people don't have the power to even talk to them!"

"Don't worry" Avion said with resolve, "I have the power of time."

"....." the old stall-owner was about to be dumbfounded by what the young man had said but he was instead, stunned. The young man just disappeared.

The old stall-owner rubbed his eyes and said to himself, "Eh? Am I just talking to myself? Is that boy an angel? He looks one though." after pondering, he then clasped his hands and prayed before sighing, "I'm becoming delusional" before cleaning up his stall.

"... Wh-where did Avion go?" Naron stopped in his tracks.

The three were about to go to Avion. The broken stall was far and to think that the guild master was sent flying there but was still able to fight was mindblowing for them. 

But when they were looking for Avion, their eyes almost popped out of their eyes socket.

"Hey, hey, isn't Avion just there a second ago?" Fobo asked while pointing at the destroyed stall, "Are my eyes tricking me?"

Temon had no luxury to be "profound" and just stayed silent, speechless.

Meanwhile, Naron was nodding, "Your eyes are really great at tricking that mine were tricked too."

"Am I an Elementalist now?" Fobo gasped.

Temon woke up from his daze and answered, "What Element? Food Elementalist?"

"What? Are you insulting him?" Naron sighed, "He should be a Pig Elementalist."

"No, an Oil Elementalist!"

"Flab Elementalist!"

"Left-over Elementalist!"

"Fat Elementalist!"

"Disappointment Elemen-"

"Okay! Okay!" Fobo then came in between them in anger, "I'm hurt now, are you both happy?! And more importantly, Avion vanished without a trace."

After recalling what happened, the three could only look at each other in silence...

In the sky seconds earlier, a petite figure was blown away by an explosive attack.

"Hehehe..." But even after taking such a fierce blow, the reddish and virtually smoking Mettany laughed, "I only felt a tap at that one, come at me, Guild Master! I wanted to be called by that name too, why don't we bet for that position?! she" shouted on the top of her lungs as her back dived into the clouds.

In the next moment, that part of the cloud dispersed as a huge man course through it with an overbearing aura.

"Mettany, the hornier you are, not only are you stronger but also, the more arrogant you become!"

The distance between these two was decreasing while this voice was echoing in the blue sky.

"Do you accept or not?!" Even with Mettany's pretty and delicate figure and appearance, her complexion as of the moment was greatly contrasting. It was as if she was a furious baby tiger with the strength of an adult one!

"Continue dreaming on." His voice was mighty and calm.

This was the first time that Mettany had been able to resist his attack. Guild Master Gon was greatly baffled behind his composed expression as he readied his fist while flying through the sky.

'There are a lot of criteria to attract Mettany. Two of these were appearance and strength. Although that boy is extremely handsome that he even made me feel jealous at first sight, it shouldn't be enough to make Mettany this strong.'

The scene was like a flying great bronze tiger was about to attack the little but fierce cub. 

Pak!*

The two collided but with no ground to put the impact of the damage, Guild Master Gon's speed decreased while Mettany became like a meteor towards the ground and there was another boom!

Far from the first crater when Mettany brought Avion, she created another one that was as twice as large.

"Still no damage, Guild Master!" Mettany laughed but inside, she was getting anxious. She was too impulsive betting on the position of the Guild Master. Of course, a bet is not one way, if she loses, she would definitely pay a price.

The reason for this change of attitude was because she began to feel that her strength was decreasing as time passed by without seeing her "source of energy"

The tint of red on her cheeks and neck was decreasing while a feeling of fatigue was covering her body.

She wanted to click her tongue but she didn't want to show weakness.

'I have to escape this predicament.' she thought to herself, wanting to smack herself for getting herself in this situation.

"Hey"

She knew that the guild master was intolerant of these things and would not let her go with a few excuses.

'Ah, I should say the news about Avion Teller."

"Hello, Miss Mettany."

Mettany still shows a fighting expression like a battle maniac but in her head, she was considering all possible escape paths.

"Did you become deaf? Are you okay?"

'I don't want to get stuck at cleaning again! I did big trouble this time. I may get stuck for a mo-!'

"HEY!"

"Eh?" Mettany was startled as she saw someone on the edge of her sight. When she looked at this person, she felt "wet" again and power surged throughout her body. The feeling of conquering the heavens was flooding in her head.

"Avion!" she happily shouted as her cheeks and neck was turning red again.

"Yes, it's me." Avion then put his hand at the front, "Give me 2 crens and 50 br-"

Crash!*

The wind abruptly blew as fragments of rocks flew away that Avion unconsciously put up his arms to protect his head and chest.

"Mettany, you surprised me this time. Tell me, how strong is the cause of this?" like a behemoth crawling out of its origin, Guild Master came out of the crater he created and out from the fog of dust. He walked out like a titan before his eyebrows lifted up.

"Kuh! Kuh!" Avion coughed from the dust and was relieved that no big piece of rock was thrown at him.

"You're that lad earlier." the guild master furrowed his eyebrows.

"Yeah, you're at fault too, then I'll halve the pay, it's 1 cren an-"

"Guild Master! I feel unstoppable!" Mettany's fighting spirit was reverberating through the atmosphere.
