Sacrifice: Time of Mine

Chapter 92: Limitless Tenacity

Mettany had the face of a lunatic. Her previous elegance suddenly vanished after that act earlier. The kissing scene was replaying over and over in her head.

From time to time, she would glance over Avion, wanting to repeat it again. However, she stayed focus. She knew she was overexerting herself. She only has limited time and within that period, Mettany needed to defeat these Rank Cee Elementalists for Avion.

The Guild Master looked at Mettany with a complex gaze. Now that his assistant came in, there was no turning back. He had two choices. That was to cut his ties to Mettany or receive the burden that she brought upon to herself.

That kissing scene wasn't only shameless. It was the catalyst for Mettany's life to go upside down.

"Prepare yourselves!" the old healers have entered the combat field. Their body filled with vigor as they further strengthened themselves through not only Body Strengthening but also, elesp.

Against one Rank Dih Elementalist, four Rank Cee felt immense pressure. The girl in front of her was no different from an Elemental Beast in their perspective.

Thud* a heavy sound cracked the paved road and the girl's figure turned into a shadow.

"HA!" one male Anzteran brought two formless books out of his being and it glowed bright green. Now that they were facing a monstrous enemy, they didn't dare to spare any energy into the battle.

From these two formless books, roots desperately sprawled out of it. In that instant, these roots with two origins were growing like branches like a bolt of lightning. They merged, entangling together and forming a solidified wood in front of the four Rank Cee Elementalists.

Pak!*

The solidified wood shook and roots withered.

"Strong!" the male Anzteran who cast the shield grunted as he held his own. Meanwhile, the female Anzteran quickly muttered a few words;

"Growth, life, produce, and pierce!" she shouted as a signal for the man to dispel the solidified shield, making shatter as if they were glass.

Four formless books became one and came out was a sharp tree trunk. It twisted as it pierced the air towards the unsuspecting Mettany behind the shield.

Puh*

With great speed, Mettany dodged like a boxer, the piercing wood grazed her shoulder as it let out fresh blood. Ignoring the pain, she used this momentum to come straight to the four.

However, the two Anzteran elderlies waved their hands respectively as if they were pulling the air back between the two of them from four directions.

There was a green glow that was pulled by their fingers and the shattered roots of the shield came back as if it was on rewind at a fast rate.

Mettany's eyes widened, realizing she had entered a danger zone where shards of wood were still scattered in the air. They all turned into like daggers pointing at her from all directions.

In front of the brute like Mettany, the four of Rank Cee Anzterans has ways of dealing with her.

Previously, Avion's case was too abnormal. They don't know where he would appear next. They could only use defensive elesp for themselves. Avion's wounds came from their mere strengths that grazed him on the way.

Mettany was up against four Rank Cee Elementalists. They were not there to spar. They have their techniques and skills for battle. Unlike back then when the Guild Master only used Body Strengthening, these four were cunning with their elesps.

Mettany could only raise her arms as guards when suddenly, there was pressure above her that made her crouch.

"Huh?" she looked up and saw Avion taking every bit of shards. His jaw was tightly clenched while tears and snot were dripping from the pain. His back was getting skinned from these shards.

"AHHHH!!" he shouted to withstand the pain.

Earlier, when Mettany just killed the first Anzteran, the Leaf Humming Blade prepared himself as he faced Avion who wasn't even looking at him.

Master Yown has confidence for his kin that he turned his back on them. Although Mettany's strength was terrifying and immediately killed one reinforcement, they were only off-guard. But now, they had their full attention.

They can only grieve later.

He looked at Avion, Master Yown's eyes full of vigilance. He wanted to know how the hell could this auraless youth have unlimited energy when that youth vanished as if he didn't exist in the first place.

"Avion!" Mettany shouted, her heart pounding loudly.

Avion silently cried as he took on the hundreds of shards. Even his hair was getting cut, his scalp getting ripped off, and his clothes full of holes and soaked in blood.

He doesn't have the awareness to reply or even hear Mettany's call. He was feeling the pain all over his body, it was unbearable!

"More!" Master Yown said as he took no hesitation to release his deadly elesp, Leaf Humming Blade!

There was a hum that sang through the air as Avion whispered, "Sorry"

Brrrr*

The blade shattered again and Avion was back around Mettany, enveloping her.

'I'm just burdening him!' she didn't mind that brief moment she took damage. But heer face turned ugly as she did so. The pain was hellish! Every shard was rotating as they charged towards them. It's not like a needle but little chainsaws.

"How is he doing this!?" one of the elderlies exclaimed with their faces sweating.

Just earlier, Avion's back was ravaged and they could even see his bones but when they heard a majestic hum and simultaneously, something shattering, Avion disappeared-appeared, his state was like before, unharmed!

'I can't heal Miss Mettany with time. It's better if I take them all for myself first!' Avion was silently whimpering under the pain.

Mettany could feel his hug was getting tighter.

"More!" Master Yown shouted. He released two formless books and came out of them were wood chips like what Van release earlier.

"Our energies about to exhaust. We just used two great healing elesps to the young nobles. We need to recover some first!" one of the elderlies were pulling hard shouted. From the shattered shield earlier, there were countless shards but even then, they were only a few hundreds were left.

Many of them were stuck onto Avion's back, limbs, and head.

"I risk my every bit of energy for that Book Synthesis: Living Spear!" the female Anzteran who was grieving shouted and finally, the male who formed the shattered shield followed;

"I can only activate two more Projectile Elesps!"

Hearing this, Master Yown had an ugly expression. They finally got a hold of Avion's weakness and made him stay there as a target.

But the attacks eventually stop.
