Sacrifice: Time of Mine

Chapter 197: On Top of the Sky



"What are you thinking?!" Darea shouted in worry.

However, Avion stayed composed.

"The longer you stay, the more dangerous it is! Even if you die, didn't you say it will take you back not more than a minute back!? A minute had already passed! Even if you die, you will still get stuck here!"

Avion gulped as he was reminded of the situation he was in.

'The speed of this Igelios must be half the speed of sound...' he tightly clutched onto the Rank Cee Elemental Beast's feathers. No matter how much he pull, Avion was not able to pluck any of the feathers. It is, after all, Rank Cee!

But the problem is what he would do next.

'The wind is too strong! If I'm not always Reverting my body, I would've been tired from the very start already and fall!' he tightened his loosening clutch after using Revert once more.

Cracks and cracks began appearing on his Identity Change Elesps in the form of an ugly mask.

'But as long as I stay low and wait, I can succeed and disappear. While the king recuperates, I will kill him and take the princess away!' Avion no longer questions why he would go so far for it, but rather, he just wanted to accomplish it!

All of his life, were there any obstacles that he faced? Everything can be solved with his power of time!

But as soon as he was brought onto this world, he died twice on the first day alone... the feeling of weakness and not able to control the situation was like a truck hitting hitting his face.

However, Avion only lacked the knowledge and was not dumb. After experiencing failures, he stood up against them and eventually, succeeded...

He had learned martial arts, discovered abilities, surpassed obstacles, and most of all, was able to kill the a Rank Ey Elementalist with only the power of time!

Avion felt disgusted but proud at the same time!

Getting results using your own effort is much better than just waiting for the world to give them to you!

This is it!

'This is life!' Avion gazed upon the rising sun and scenes flashed to him as he felt the enlightenment brought to him by this world.

Darea stopped her warning when a strange aura fluctuated from Avion's soul. Her eyes opened in shock. His soul was changing, it was transforming into something big and terrifying.

"What kind of soul is this?" she inwardly said but Avion was too caught up with the beauty of the world for him to hear her thoughts.

Meanwhile, below the Wind Elemental Beasts was King Isero with the princess. After some time, as a Rank Bih Life Elementalist, Princess Alisera was able to recuperate now, its speed getting exponentially faster.

She then woke up, "Papa?"

Even amidst the furious wind, King Isero was able to pick her words.

"Alisera" he made his voice loud but going through the wind made it sound like a barely audible whisper, "Can you climb up? The Igelius won't be able to drop with us on its claws"

Alisera was still recuperating. Even though she was already Rank Bih, the exhaustion was still to heavy. Creating two new souls as a beginner was too much for her. Not to mention the fact that as a Rank Bih, she revived a Rank Ey!

Without Haliviana's guide, she would not be able to be so successful about it. Maybe the princess would even fail at reviving her Rank Bih father.

However, the physical strength of a Rank Bih, even as a fraction was enough to climb up.

Alisera nodded and didn't retort. After all she had gone through, the trauma from waking up to her headless parents, she does not have any hesitation to do what they say.

"Good, good" King Isero whispered with a smile. He then raised Alisera up and she began to climb.

"The princess is climbing up." Darea warned. Even though the father and daughter are both Rank Bih, the evolved element differs enough from its previous element for her to distinguish the two.

Avion squinted his eyes which was more terrifying than before since cracks was more evident than before.

The princess slowly climbed up with trembling and cold feet. She was too new to these kinds of situations. However, she knew she has to avoid looking down.

The Wind Elemental Beast was not that large so eventually, the princess reached the top. There she met with surprise that she almost released her clutch.

"Relle!?" she shouted in shock. Unfortunately, this did not reach the king's ear.

Peeking over that the princess was finally safe, the king tapped the Igelios, making its claw released him and make him climbed up too. He was more tired than the princess since he did not only exhausted his energy, but was also fully-ridden with wounds.

If he were to fall from that height, he may die. But if the Igelios go any lower, others may be able to catch them. This is the advantage of a flying elemental beast.

Seeing the pitch-haired princess reached the top, a cold gaze shone from Avion's eyes. However, he reached out his hand with difficulty, giving it to the princess.

Alisera took it and Avion grunted as he gave all his strength on both of his hands and tightly gripped.

"What is he doing? Even without him helping her, she would be able to get up." Darea pondered with her eyes closed again, but a few seconds later, realization dawned on her.

"He may be able to pull this off..."

Avion pulled Alisera which the princess didn't fight back. Easily, he was able to get hold of her.

"Relle, what are you doing here!?" she shouted to make her voice reach him. The princess noticed the cracks on his face but didn't question it. She encountered a lot of things that night so she was not that curious.

"Grabbed onto the feathers!" Avion only replied as he wrapped both arms around her waist, relieving him from the mental fatigue of keeping up his clutches.

Alisera blushed a little but didn't mind it. She was a little bit thankful that there is someone here that she was a bit familiar with as she wait for her father.

But soon, her face paled when a blade was pointed towards her neck.

"If you released your clutches, we will fall and die."

She heard a threat.
