Sacrifice: Time of Mine

Chapter 112: Finished Reading A Whole Book in One Second

Avion stopped time while he hugged the book. He took the book and made him pleasantly surprise.

The book was movable in the stoppage of time.

"Hehehehe!" Avion laughed. This way, he could study the book while still being to laze around.

Why was he patient? It is because he had infinite supply of time! 

He just need to stop time and laze around. Sleep anywhere and after that, his mind was reset. Although he doesn't revert his body as much back then to not waste his effort and make him stronger, he take a huge toll of time of resting and lazing around.

Once he got bored of resting, he would've full energy to do what he must. If he was feeling lazy again, then he would rest.

Without wasting any time, he actually both accomplished his work while not getting bored at it.

Avion was spoiled by the world before. How could he change that much overnight and have the ability of great endurance and perseverance?

That was why Darea was frustrated. While she waited for time to come back, Avion was sleeping. She would go rampage if she knew the real reason!

Sometimes, after his rest, he would still laze around. It will become an "over-rest" By then he would revert his body back between the time of his rest and before the "over-rest"

If he did not, not only would his body feel sluggish, he would also exert energy which he would need food and water. 

Resting still needs energy.

But, against expectations, it had a positive effect. That lazing around affected his mentality, making him want to continue since he got sick of not doing anything.

In the stoppage of time, Avion began reading the book and flipped three pages before falling asleep.

Zzzz....

Meanwhile, Darea was searching over the whole Centre Continent.

The news of God Centre's death was still shaking the continent. It would take some time first before it reaches the other places due to the suppression of Rank Es Elementalist in the Holy Imperial Land.

If others learned that the greatest threat is dead, the Holy Imperial Land would be besieged by super forces.

"Good, good. Stop the time so that I can easily spot you!"

Darea first thought that this "Time Elementalist" was not in Centre. However, thinking about it, how could she be sure?

Meaning,

Would I go back to my own continent to search again? she thought.

Flasse is huge! Even if she was an overlord, it would take her months before she explored it all.

However, with the stoppage of time. A day for normal people could be a week for her.

Nerves were popping out of Darea's peerless face.

"If I see you, I will make good use of you. You will become my slave for the rest of your life. You can only stop time and release it whenever I want to. Hahahah!" her laughed was tingling to the ear.

Back to the Trading-Hills Capital, it was black and white-

"Haahhhh~~" Avion yawned as he woke up and continued his reading.

This time, he got a full rest. His sleep schedule and body clock is too far from average. However, that doesn't mean he's unhealthy. He sleeps whenever he feels like it.

So it's just perspective due to his control of time.

When night comes, he could stop time, sleep for eight hours or so and wake up. By then, the night just started and he already got his full sleep.

He didn't get sleepy and continued his way until the last page.

The mortal assassination skill book has three parts.

The first part has the introduction and the way of assassination. In this, the principles and creeds of an assassin should have were written.

Killing people creates guilt and a heavy burden. It greatly impacts the user's techniques. If the assassin feels hesitant for a moment, the technique is considered half-failed.

The second part were the techniques themselves. How to use them, how to practice them, their weaknesses, their strengths, and so on were detailed in the thick section of the book.

The last part showed how to transfer energy of the body out to the world. The energy refers to the force. Like a punch, it was the force within the body that traveled into the arms, to the wrist, then finally the fist onto the target.

Attacks are the transfer of energy from one own's body. The stronger the attack, the greater its efficiency of how much this energy is taken and exerted onto the target.

This portion was supplementary and that was why it is at the last portion. It could be applied to any form of attack and defense, not just assassination techniques.

Defenses are the deflections or redirection when receiving outside energy. Even how to transform that outside energy into an attack was detailed. However, that was a master's skills and Avion just started.

This book was about assassination so the supplementary are just for support to improve the techniques. It was not complete.

Actually, Avion noticed that there was a fourth and fifth section. It was too thin if compared to the other three so he thought it is part of the third section.

The fourth is about meditation and discipline. 

The fifth is the credit and the author of the book.

"Dark-Bladed Shadows." Avion muttered and there was a symbol of a sharp sword with shadows coiling around it in the end.

It seemed to be an organization. The book looked old but it was actually not and on top of it, it was untouched. It seemed like there were Non-Elementalists out there who still want to go against the Elementalist hierarchy.

But Avion shrugged it off. He didn't know how many hours had passed. He had no clock watch. He just knew he finished reading.

He resumed the time, took a letter and a pen, and stopped time again. A moment had passed since he entered the room but he had already slept, read a whole book, and wrote a letter.

Avion looked out to the window and saw a black-haired cutie, wearing a hemp dress for maids. She was currently watering a plant in the backyard garden, relaxed and serene.

"Fuck, I got a letter for Master Numui!" Avion smiled as he waved his letter. His jagged yellow teeth could be seen.

Jamina shuddered.

'Master, why did you post me here to do what Relle orders... I'm the head maid, right? Shouldn't he be lower than me?'
