Sacrifice: Time of Mine

Chapter 87: So Who Beat Them?!

Moments earlier, when the men with high morale came at Avion from all directions, he didn't budge and just stood there. The men had happy and excited gazes.

'Caught him!'

They were all fast since most of them were Rank Eeh Elementalists and some Rank Dih. However, no matter how fast, how could they compare to the stoppage of time?

It's like comparing a number of a thousand to infinity. No matter how fast one is if time is stopped, Avion could just casually breeze through them. They don't know his weakness. They were not Mettany who was with him for some time and was thinking about him every second that passed.

With the world black and white, Avion looked everywhere and saw that almost every man had tools with them. These tools were obvious for capturing animals such as nets and ropes.

Avion sighed and wondered, "Where did Guild Master Gon go to?" he recalled what the Guild Master said to him before he disappeared which was, "Be careful"

That was it and he was gone.

Thinking about it for a while, Avion walked around looking at different people with different lives, "I should just come back to the Guild." he decided.

He didn't hurry, after all, time was stopped. Avion's patience could be one of the greatest in the world. That was why Darea who was impatient was getting frustrated.

Avion had no goal, he was leisure and sometimes would get bored. There are times that while time was stopped, he would break into a random house and take their bed to sleep. Of course, it was stiff but after deactivation and activation of the stoppage of time, the bed's time continued in the stopped world when Avion was on it.

That was why Darea would spend hours and sometimes days while having nothing to do. She couldn't be blamed. At first, it was intriguing but it eventually became irritating.

After lazing around, appreciating the black and white world, he went to the guild. On his way, he saw a large crowd. 

With great curiosity, he climbed from people to people. Back then, he would stumble and make mistakes but after making countless tries, he can do a little parkour, easily getting through the crowds.

If it's too compact, he would step onto their head which is a weird feeling. It's hard to think that these are living people but at the moment, they were like statues.

"Phew" Avion sweated as he got down from a man with long hair and with shoulders prickly.

He then turned around and saw the Guild Master and Mettany. Avion smiled and was about to turn back time when he noticed something strange. On the edge of his sight, he saw familiar bodies lying on the ground.

One was brawny, one was short and fat, and the last had frame-only glasses. Even though they were black and white and had different looks on their faces with their cheeks bulging and seemingly liquid dripping from their lips, Avion was familiar of these three.

'Huh...' Avion's heartbeat rose, feeling a sharp prickly pain.

Time came back.

"Naron... Temon... Fobo..." he looked at the Guild Master and Mettany and asked, "Guild Master, Mettany, what happened to them?" he slowly pointed at the three.

"Avion...." Mettany showed a sad expression. Even though she had her Conditioned Elesk, seeing Avion in that state, she would be disgusted if she were to get turned on.

Even though Avion's existence is a big libido to her, it still depends on her personal view and situation.

"Avion Teller?"

"How did he get here?"

"Nobody heard him or saw him, he was just there."

Whispers like bees buzzing came out of the crowd. They don't know if they should take this chance and attack Avion. The Guild Master was there and there was still an issue that remained unsolved between that concerned about the nobles.

Guild Master Gon's brows lowered but were not tightly clenched as he answered with pity, "They were beaten up."

Seeing the Guild Master's polite reply and coupled with the mysterious appearance, the Leaf Humming Blade looked at Avion in a different light.

How could they expect Avion to come? Literally, a second ago, he was near the walls of the capital. The men there who jumped at him all bumped their heads.

"What?!"

"He's gone again!"

"How! What kind of elesp is that? That's cheating!"

"No, elesp are balanced, the stronger they are, the greater the energy's consumption or that he can only activate it a few times a day."

"Yeah, if he is really that strong then beating us shouldn't be a problem to him."

Hearing this, they all exhaled cold air. They were lucky. They were blinded by greed. If Avion Teller was actually strong then they are all going to get beat up, worst, death.

However, who are they? They are Riskers! They like taking risks in front of huge benefits. Getting a favor from the princess who was spoiled by a king is more than a huge benefit.

"Okay, let's find him! Remember, no taking advantage. If you spot him, signal everyone else. If he escapes, then it would be your fault!" the strongest Rank Dih Elementalist said and nobody rebuked.

But internally, they were snickering, hoping they would get lucky. If they saw Avion Teller, of course, they wouldn't tell anybody. No one is stupid enough to let go of such a chance.

While they scattered, they didn't know that Avion was already kilometers away from them the moment they bumped their heads.

"Why?" Avion asked.

This time, it was Mettany who answered, "These guys were questioning them about your whereabouts. But these three didn't know and this... happened." towards the end of her sentence, her voice became weaker.

Upon learning that he was the cause of this, Avion gritted his teeth.

Seeing Avion Teller suddenly appeared, Van and Jhin were filled with greed, thinking that a golden opportunity struck them. The two looked at each other as they were wary of one another.

Only Master Yown knew that keeping quiet is the best.

"So who beat them?!" Avion asked.

Other's may not feel pressure but the Guild Master and Mettany felt it. It was the first time they saw Avion had a face like that.

"It was them." Mettany pointed at the two.

Sensing Avion Teller's gaze, Van and Jhin released all of their binding elesps.

Brr* Brr*
