Sacrifice: Time of Mine

"Then, why is he still recovering?" Master Yown asked which the two elderlies shook their heads. Even they didn't know that Avion's power was the control of time.

They can hypothesize whatever they want but the conclusion they will reach won't be any closer to the truth.

"Master Yown, maybe this is why the princess didn't want Avion Teller to die. It's not because she wants to take revenge but because she was aware of his unknown ability." at that moment, the middle-aged male Anzteran who has the elesp Rooted Shield gave an assumption.

Master Yown had already thought of this. At first, he thought that the situation was inevitable and they had to kill Avion Teller since he had the audacity to beat the young nobles almost to death. Since the three kingdoms wanted him dead anyway, considering how dangerous Avion was with his ability to appear and disappear anywhere, anytime, they thought that they could kill him now.

Realizing the change of situation, the Guild Master found a way out of this, a way to save Avion!

He already had this idea from the start but he knew it wouldn't work since the situation was still not on his side.

But now, these Anzteran Elementalists were reconsidering their actions. That was because Avion was showing might that shouldn't be possible!

At that moment, Avion Teller was still standing still. Nerves were popping out from all over his body. This was due to pain. He was in no mortal danger since he could continuously revert his body back. However, would he be just there forever in pain? Isn't that the same as hell? He would rather die then.

"You fools, did you know what you just did?!" the Guild Master flared up. He was not acting, but rather, he was releasing his pent-up emotions.

While Avion Teller and Mettany were in the life and death battle, he was just there, standing as if he was one of the unrelated spectators. Within him, he was cursing at himself, at his weakness.

"What did we do?" Master Yown had darkened face. He was wondering if this was a trap. Why did the Guild Master only act right now? The timing was too perfect if it was a trap but if that is so, the Guild Master should be aware of it too.

"You have a lot of nerves trying to kill the only son of the Lord Sorcerer." the Guild Master said with a heavy that stunned everyone who heard this.

Lord Sorcerer?

Why is the supreme overlord mentioned here?

Even in front of a Rank Bih, Master Yown thought it was too ridiculous that he rebutted, "Guild Master, please don't lower yourselves to say an obvious lie."

Not only was it hard to believe, but they also didn't want to believe it. They would rather cut their knees to beg for forgiveness if this was true and if they knew it from the very start.

"I am not lying. Avion Teller is the only son of the Lord Sorcerer. How do you explain his abilities? Do you think any youth can fight against multiple Rank Cee Elementalists at the same time?"

This was the Guild Master's plan from the very start. However, he could only put it aside since who would believe him? If he showed the Appraisal Scrolls, it could be easily said that they were forged. If he made Avion prove his ability to control time, others would think it's just a trick.

It was different from before. Back then, Avion was just alone and only had Naron, Temon, and Fobo by his side. These Non-Elementalists couldn't do anything to help Avion Teller set up a trick.

Only another Rank Bih could deceive another Rank Bih Elementalists. If these three were Rank Bih Elementalists, hiding, why would they have to go all the effort to trick the Guild Master if they could just defeat him through numbers?

So the Guild Master could only believe Avion. It makes sense. Avion with his mysterious origin and power together with the Lord Sorcerer's mysterious being. But this time, every proof that Avion shows can be pointed at the Guild Master.

For these Rank Cee Elementalists, Rank Bihs are mysterious and holds unknown power. Since Avion Teller and the Guild Master were seen together, wouldn't it make more sense that it was the Guild Master's plot than Avion Teller having the control of time? The former is quite probable while the latter is near impossible. Only an idiot would believe the latter.

So why now?

It's because Avion Teller is on the verge of death but was still showing the might of his power. If it was the Guild Master's plot when Avion Teller dies then wouldn't his plan just go to waste? The Guild Master isn't that stupid.

The Rank Cee Anzterans looked at each other with terrified gazes. They're talking about the mysterious Lord Sorcerer!

If the Guild Master kneeled back then in forgiveness for Mettany's action, how would these measly Rank Cees react?

"You're talking bull!" out of fear, the female Anzteran shouted at the Guild Master. If compared to a Rank Es, this Rank Bih is just a fart, "If that's true, you should've said that from the start!" 

But the Guild Master only calmly replied, "If I did say that earlier, would you believe me then?" his face darkened.

"But," this time it was Elder Can who shouted. As an old Elementalist, he should have the calmest behavior under pressure. But as an old Elementalist, he also knew how terrifying Rank Es Elementalists are, "If that is true then why didn't you save him? Going against the whole Halivian is a whole lot better than taking a grudge from the Lord Sorcerer."

The spectators gasped upon hearing this. Going against a whole country is a whole lot better than taking a grudge from the Lord Sorcerer?

But thinking about it. Excluding the possible hidden Rank Bih Elementalists, they were only four in total with no Rank Ey in Haliviana.

If a Rank Es Elementalist wanted to, they could just rule over the whole country by just saying so!

Everyone had cold feet, especially the Riskers who were thinking of capturing Avion Teller.

In their perspective, the Guild Master was too respectable to lie. Also, Avion Teller came out of nowhere. He can battle multiple Rank Cee Elementalists at the same time. Although controlling time is quite far-fetched for them, Avion being the son of the mysterious Lord Sorcerer makes a lot of sense.

If they knew this from the start, they may even riot to make the princess hang herself instead.

Absolute strength topples over heavenly beauty!
