Sacrifice: Time of Mine

Chapter 85: Guild Master Gon Appears!

"What?!" many were surprised to see the target suddenly appeared in front of them.

After the initial pause, they all thought, 'So the rumors are true!'

"Catch him!"

Avion panicked as he jumped at the guy in front of him. He then smiled and shouted, "I caught him!"

"Don't..." seeing the handsome boy on top of him, the tough guy earlier suddenly became meek as he blushed.

They all paused in their seizure, surprised at what they were seeing. It was as if they were looking at a dumb kid.

"Wait!" Avion then frowned before he disappeared on the spot. Not only the men who were chasing him but also the surrounding passersby were shocked to the point of speechlessness.

When Avion appeared far from them, he shouted, "I'm the one you are trying to capture because I'm wanted, right?" he angrily pointed his finger at them, feeling betrayed, "You played me like a fool!"

"W-what is he saying?"

At this point, they didn't know what reason they were surprised; this man's ability or his disability.

"Ignore him! It looks like he cannot fight back and could only escape!"

This shout triggered everyone's morale. At first, they were scared if Avion Teller would fight back too. After all, he slapped the princess in front of the public. It showed his boldness. Next, he was close to the Guild Master. Everyone knew that although the Guild Master doesn't like formalities, he only respects the strong.

But Avion Teller always being the Bottom-Eaters gave hope to the male Riskers. Also, even though capturing Avion Teller only benefitted one person, they were working together. The reason? One was that Avion's strength was still unknown and the other was that they knew his fleeing abilities.

Once Avion Teller is finally roped and completely captured would the internal fight begins. But for now, everyone would team-up.

Greedy men came from every direction, however, could they really catch Avion?

"HAAA!"

"Tsk!" Master Yown clicked his tongue in irritation, 'This lady is not so simple!' with just Body Strengthening, he could feel that he would lose.

Even though he could kill this missy easily, he didn't. Offending the Guild Master is better to avoid and if a master such as himself were to use his elesp against a Rank Dih Elementalist, he would lose face.

Even though Mettany is a special case, Master Yown's rival and enemies wouldn't care. The primary example is the Idiotic Rivals.

Jhin was quick to point a finger even though if he was in Van's place, he would end up the same.

Thus, Master Yown felt it was unnecessary to use an elesp unless it was an emergency. This was fine and all, but there was a big problem. Mettany, a Rank Dih Elementalist, his opponent was also not using any elesp!

If words got out that the Leaf Humming Blade used an elesp to defeat a Rank Dih who wasn't even using one, what would others from the same Rank as him says about him?

The longer the battle dragged, the more the Leaf Humming Blade would put into a disadvantage. He was still exerting energy after all.

Meanwhile, Mettany's Conditioned Elesk, even if she were to exert all her energy empty, she still had Body Strengthening. Until one had reached Rank Ey where Body Strengthening becomes permanent, they would eventually run out of energy.

'Should I just kill her with one strike?' Master Yown thought. This was the only solution to his current predicament. If he were to kill a Rank Dih Elementalist in one strike, anyone would feel it was natural.

Although his enemies could still say that he was bullying the weak, that was better if compared to them directly calling him weak.

The fierce exchange between the two attracted the vigor of the spectators. They were shouting and cheering for Mettany while Jhin and Van had ugly expressions.

They haven't thought of just healing the three behind them to resolve the issue. If they knew it would come to this, they would've already at the very start. However, the situation escalated fast and if they were to heal the three, it was the same as admitting defeat even though they had their master with them.

'Why is Master not using any elesp?' Van gritted his teeth. He has so much respect towards his master but now, he was anxious and agitated.

Mettany was giving her all, afraid that any moment would be too late to save the three. If internal bleeding could only heal with time then it would be okay, but it wasn't the case!

While Master Yown keeping a calm face to cover the pressure he was having, Mettany had gone full battle mode, giving every effort she had to defeat the master in front of her.

In her head, she knew that the enemy was still holding back by a lot while she, being a Rank Dih Elementalist, had limited elesps to use. However, it was not enough to discourage her.

As long as the enemy does not use elesp, Mettany wouldn't. Using elesp within the capital is illegal. However, she didn't know that the reason this master was not using one was for a different reason.

Laws do not affect nobles that much but Mettany wasn't aware of this.

'Avion!'

'Avion!'

'Avion!'

She kept thinking about him. The more she losses her focus, the more she keeps getting stronger!

'What is the meaning of this!?' Master Yown felt that this little missy was becoming all pure brute without techniques unlike before. It was fine at first since Master Yown is a master. He has abundant knowledge and experience about close-quarter combat. Stronger attacks don't mean much if the enemy lacks technique.

But soon, he discovered a problem. The strength that was being added was too much!

Swoosh*

A giant hand suddenly grabbed onto Mettany's arm.

"Eh?" Mettany initially panicked, thinking that her opponent finally used his remaining strength just like what she expected. She couldn't even budge!

But after the initial shock, she realized that this hand was not from the Leaf Humming Blade since the person himself was shocked too.

"Guild Master..." she muttered.

"Mettany, what are you doing?" he glared onto her.

Immediately, Mettany loses the image in her head and began to feel weakness. Before she explains herself, she said, "Ah, right! Guild Master, do you have any way of healing them?! We don't have any specific elesp to heal Naron's group except for these three!" towards the end of her words, she became aggressive as if she was growling.

The crowd became quiet as they shrunk their heads. Mettany is no doubt fearful, however, there is someone way scarier than her. At that moment, that someone was also angry.

Guild Master Gon looked at the three that were beaten up till they were unrecognizable.

"Hmm" he then looked at Van and Jhin. These two were arrogant but they didn't dare to be arrogant in front of a Rank Bih Elementalist. Even their big family doesn't have one of these powerhouses!

Even the Leaf Humming Blade turned silent.
