Sacrifice: Time of Mine

Chapter 76: Losing Patience

A humanoid beast that had a black mane of a lion and the face of a human walked over an army of monsters. His face was was spotless, his eyes were also that of a lion while he had three whiskers on each cheek. Only that his left eye was hidden behind an eyepatch.

He is one of the Nine Generals of Darea, the Conqueress. He was one of the three generals that were leading the battle army under the Conqueress, specifically, the terrestrial army. The other two were aerial and aquatic.

The Sixth General, Dogun Mo was the beast king's name. Behind him was Mt. Hamis where the castle of the Overbearer lives. Back then, Mt. Hamis was Dogun's castle. But one day, a mysterious woman just walked in and said;

"This is like a lair of a villain, I'll take this."

Rule of the jungle, the stronger wins it all. Dogun was so angry at the nonchalant woman that he entered the battle himself.

However, after a few rounds and bouts, Dogun was almost beaten to death. 

"I'll take this position if you beg." the woman with her eyes closed said.

'But aren't you the one who came in here, claiming this palace of mine is yours? Why does it looked like I'm desperate to give it to you?' Dogun said but he had no choice but to kneel and said, "I beg you."

With their king kneeling, the subjects should be lower. The subjects were a sea of beasts of all kinds. They were watching the fight. Each of them could destroy a village on their own. After their king lowered his head, the level of the sea dropped.

Dogun had witnessed this before. it was when he became their king, but at that moment, he was kneeling as well.

He felt no shame. This woman is just too terrifying.

"Ahhh!!!! Finally!"

A shout resounded from inside the castle. Dogun's face paled and froze. The once God-forbidden hell of a place that was filled with roars and grunts from warbeasts quietened. One feminine shout made them all silent.

Dogun gulped and thought, 'What is happening, why is the Ruler this frustrated?'

Every once in a while, they would hear their ruler's shout. The first time it happened, all function and work in the city under Mt. Hamis stopped and all the Generals kneeled in front of their gorgeous ruler.

"Oh Great Ruler, what is the problem?" the most courageous general, First General Hanmer was the only one that had enough guts to ask their ruler.

From the very beginning, even when the nine generals once plotted against her, the great conqueress never became this frustrated. That was why when they heard her shout in anger, they immediately reported back and give their utmost service to satisfy her.

Yet, they were only replied with;

"Huh? Who called you here? Want to become my punching bag?" the absolute elegant and sophisticated Darea Irdona became boorish in attitude.

The nine generals became shocked and doubted for a while if this person was the same as their ruler.

"You're not cramming? Okay then, line up!"

Hearing this, the Third General sweated and immediately said, "Ah, no, Great Ruler, we were just shocked, we will be on our w-"

A loud boom echoed and the Third General was sent flying kilometers away as if he was a bullet that was fired from a gun.

"Line! Up!" the Great Conqueress cracked her fists and domineeringly said.

If it was before, the rest of the Generals would rage, they wouldn't let themselves be abused like that. However, they already knew their ruler's might so they could only let out some tears without shame.

The Sixth General, Dugon Mo was punched in the eye. Even with defenses up, he was still sent back to his post, kilometers away from where he was punched!

That was why he had an eyepatch now. He didn't worry since with his strength, even if his head was cut off, he would be fine. He just needs some time to rest and recover his eye.

But at the present, their ruler shouted louder than before.

The Generals learned from the past and didn't go there unless they were called.

"I hate this! I hate this! Dugon! Come here!" a loud voice that sounded like it came from the heavens called for the Sixth General.

Dugon Mo's expression turned ugly. He couldn't even hide his expression of fear in front of his army. But he also didn't dare to be late for even a second. Just like a bolt of lightning, Dugon appeared in front of the heavenly beauty that ruled over the Darea Continent.

It was none other than Darea Irdona herself!

"I'm here, Great Ruler." Dugon forced his voice out as if he wasn't afraid. His head was lowered at the moment and if someone saw his face, they would realize his tough voice was just a facade.

"We will travel to Centre immediately. I am losing my patience. Relay this to the others." her doll-like face was frowning. She doesn't look like the mighty conqueress at all. If anything else, she looked like a cute lady in a cosplay giving a tantrum.

"Yes!" Dugon was relieved that it was just short. However, when he turned around, he felt a sudden force in his back and he was sent away by a kick.

But after that kick, the world became black and white again. Seeing this, the mighty conqueress shouted, "Again?!" she stomped her feet on the ground. If it was before, the whole Mt. Hamis would shake but with stopped time, everything was immovable and indestructible.

Darea who was still aware even though time was stopped had already experienced his for countless times already. Sometimes, the stoppage would be for hours or even days!

Thinking about this, Darea finally lost her patience. She does and gets whatever she wants due to her strength. After she conquered three whole continents, uniting them into one, she felt listless and bored.

Now that time was suddenly stopped over and over again, not only did she got bored more than before, she was also hopeless within it. The feeling of incapability was too foreign for the overlord who just conquered three continents. Her frustration was reasonable.

When the time came back after more than an hour, Darea finally lost her patience and called all the Generals.

Dugon hasn't even landed when he was kicked and now, he was called again, 'What is it this time?!' he wanted to cry

"You nine will rule my Irdona Kingdom for a while. I want to find someone."

After giving the message to the Nine Generals, Darea Irdona disappeared. However, in reality, Darea had more to say when time stopped again. Feeling frustrated, she flew away.
