Sacrifice: Time of Mine

Chapter 101: Avion Teller's Name

After the huge commotion that had happened near the Gon Butcher Guild, the information and details had already arrived at Crown Council shortly after.

Not even a day had passed and the princess already received the news that Avion Teller had once again escaped. This was a huge blow to the Anzteran Family!

How could they act arrogant and domineering again in front of other nobles? Thus, they became like the King of Karan and had been releasing exaggerated rumors.

If the King of Karan can silence the nobles, why can't the noble family, Anzteran silence the commoners?

It was easy as planting some wrong information and the commoners themselves would circulate it.

"Did you know that Avion Teller is a Rank Bih? His origins were unknown."

"Good thing he was kind. I heard that he was giving and caring when he was temporarily at the slums in the east side, near the guild."

"What could his origin be? He's a Rank Bih but he was actually staying in the slums..."

"Hayss, we are only ordinary people. How can we comprehend the mind of a Rank Bih Elementalist?"

These kinds of words were spreading throughout the capital. This made the King of Karan happy. He was forceful back then and it was impossible to actually make every noble forgot what happened back then.

Now that another victim had arrived, it was helping the king.

Thus, Avion Teller's name and image were getting exaggerated. People were actually trying to give him a title.

The Noble Phantom

Handsome Ghost

Space Breaker

One-Cren Man

And so on.

However, after the Anzteran's incident, Avion Teller disappeared again.

Before he disappeared, he had defeated the Outre Book Synthesis: Endless Dead Wood Blades, a rare Book Synthesis, a group combination elesp by five Rank Cees!

This is one of the trump cards by the Anzteran Family. However, it was easily countered by Avion Teller as if he knew the weakness of the outre. The two elderlies were beaten black and blue as a result.

None of the plans work.

The outre: Endless Dead Wood Blades is a deceptive tactic, using the element of surprise and deception to catch an enemy off-guard. Even Rank Bih would have a hard time against it.

Yet, even if one knows about the surprises that as the Rooten Shield and Living Spear detonating as the main attack, there was still a lot of flexibility behind it. If the enemy expected the Endless Dead Wood Blade, the Living Spear wouldn't detonate in advance.

Living Spear was a Book Synthesis in itself and it could bend and be controlled!

Unless a person has ample preparation and extraordinary reaction speed, they wouldn't be able to defend and adapt to the situation as fast as five people combined.

However, Avion can stop time. If he knows the weakness of the outre then there was none stopping him.

His strength was widely recognized even without the Anzteran or the King of Karan secretly releasing rumors.

When Avion disappeared, the Guild Master had expressed his opinion on this matter, saying, "Avion is unpredictable and unknown. Although we are having some connection lately, I still have no idea what his intentions are. I guess he doesn't trust us that much."

Just like that, the Guild Master's connection to Avion Teller was discord. On the surface, at least.

Since Mettany's plan to help was stopped by Avion, why would Guild Master Gon not take it?

Soon, a healer arrived and the Anzteran left. If the healer healed the three commoners, the Anzteran would lose some face. They wouldn't let the healers do so.

However, since Avion had slipped out of their grasp, they were internally afraid.

If they attracted the grudge of an unknown monster who appears and disappears anytime, anywhere, how could they deal with it?

Avion only disappeared after the elder had the slip of the tongue that someone already went to get a healer for those three.

"Don't bother them anymore." Avion said one last time before glancing at Mettany and disappeared.

To this, the Anzteran didn't pursue the issue any longer and just left.

The matter was left unresolved since Avion was gone. When the Guild Master and Mettany had dejectedly gone back to the guild, into the office to talk, they were met with a surprise.

"Guild Master, why didn't you say that you got someone to get a healer?"

Avion immediately asked. But his expression was indifferent and didn't have any animosity behind it.

However, the Guild Master still felt an invisible pressure. This pressure is not from intimidation but from guilt.

Under the pretext of not wanting to endanger the things he cares about, including himself and Mettany, deep inside, he wants to know the limit to Avion's power.

It was a life and death against five Rank Cee Elementalist. Even the Guild Master would be pressured by it.

If Avion showed something more than what the Guild Master knows then wouldn't that mean that Avion was not honest to begin with? The Guild Master just wanted to know if he really could trust Avion since he would let Mettany get stronger through this man.

"I'm sorry, I have another intention behind it." the Guild Master didn't deny it.

Avion was actually sitting behind the Guild Master's desk. He was unintentionally having a domineering position. 

However, Avion just wants to be comfortable and that was the seat where he could rest his arms at front. Very comfy.

Mettany sighed in relief when Avion came back to them.

Even though the Guild Master seemed like he offended Avion, she wasn't worried. There was a great acknowledgment within her that she couldn't explain. She just knew that Avion wouldn't truly hate them as long as they don't go over the line.

The Guild Master sat on one of the couch in front of the desk. Since Avion didn't reply, he said to alleviate the mood, "But to make up for it, here." he place a pocketbook in front of Avion.

"Hm?" Avion was intrigued.

"This is the Identity Change Elesp. You can use this to freely move inside the capital." the Guild Master explained, his words solemn, "However, I am put under a contract to get this. This is because I borrowed money from the Romen Family. There are multiple ways for me to repay the debt. The first one is for me to pay it in the future. The second one... I think you're going to like it. A win-win for both of us."
