Sacrifice: Time of Mine

Chapter 267: Non-Blood-Related Incest

Flasse, who was hiding in a space nobody could see, frowned when Avion stepped in.

"That power is definitely out of this world... there's a reason why Time Element doesn't exist. However, why does it feel that, at the same time, the power itself is part of the world?" he mused.

"After all, it did not go against nature... how complex."

On the stadium, Rank Es Elementalists and even Rank Ey who saw it all stood up in shocked.

Edora's sword was blocked, Mettany's punch was deflected, and Tamya's elesps was made to miss. Additionally, Edora's forehead was flicked all at the same time. 

"Ouch, what did I do?!"

With a boom from Mettany's deflected punch, all motion stopped. Avion stood in the middle as if nothing happened.

"It looked like you three are trying to kill each other so I stepped in." he frowned and then walked towards Mettany while the three girls were looking at each other.

'We've been doing that from the start...'

"Look at yourself, do you still want to continue? You're bleeding all over." Avion proceeded to wipe some blood off Mettany's face.

"Umm... if you want to... I can stop..." as an Earth Elementalist like Tamya, recovery healing is her worst trait. However, with Avion worrying for her, Mettany's power soared and her wounds would slowly close on themselves.

Avion's eyes widened at the sight of this. His cheeks and ears reddened at the next moment before he bashfully murmured, "No, if you want, you can continue." at the next moment, he coughed, "Ehem! But no murder! Why are you three trying to kill yourself anyway?"

The stage was silent while the outer audience was asking to themselves, 'He asked that on top of dead bodies? Extremely biased!'

The inner audience, on the other hand, was speaking to each other.

"What kind of power is that?"

"He doesn't release any sort of aura."

"There's no way he's just a mortal."

"Are the Supreme Elders correct from the start?"

'We're right?' Elder Khor, Gan, Shana, and Helen all thought.

Knowing that their conversation will not go anywhere at this point, they all subconsciously looked at Old Maytan.

However, Old Maytan only wryly smiled, "He showed it."

"Hm" Sheran nodded with a proud look.

Meanwhile, Cojier pinched the old man beside him, "Are we not going to do something?"

"What do you mean?" Old Maytan asked.

"He's too dangerous. Is it fine to be just sitting here?" there was honest fear in Cojier's eyes.

Old Maytan silently stared at the wolf cowering in fear. It took his a few seconds before he answered, "Don't worry..." while he continued in his thoughts;

'I don't know what to do to. And if what Gamon told is true about who Avion truly is, then even if we do anything, whatever he does, we won't amount to anything. I am now remembering how it felt to be a useless mortal...' he didn't know if he should laugh or cry and could only awkwardly smile.

Finding no explanation, the Rank Es Elementalists, sharp Rank Eys, and some people who didn't want to be left out sat down.

"Is why you want to put chains around him?" Matriarch Quiare asked.

Galion nodded, "Yes, however, it seemed like chains don't work on him? Or that he can only move the chains but not detach from it."

Avion, currently, still had chains around his waist. Underneath his white robes, that is. Now that he moved, everyone realized this.

"Matriarch, you know what is happening?" Elder Khor asked while Prince Gerald kept his ears wide.

"Galion does. At first, I don't believe it but..." Matriarch Quiare spoke without erecting a sound barrier, "It seemed that Avion Teller is indeed the son of the Lord Sorcerer just like what Galion said."

Gasps replied to her words. Those who heard her looked at her with doubting eyes.

Beneath them, on the stage, Avion continued to scold, "Killing is bad. You can't just murder peo..." he looked around before changing his words, "You can't just murder each other."

"Yes..." the three replied.

"Good... don't go overboard. Just exit the ring if you think that you can't go on." Avion then turned around while having a tail-like chain.

"Husband, why do you have?" Mettany asked while Tamya blankly stared.

"Ah, this? I guess they didn't want me to escape. Jemer said it was the higher-ups that ordered him. But it's fine, if I bring it with me, I can still move. Also.... don't call me husband, you're like a little sister to me."

'Huh...?' Mettany didn't know how to react, 'I'm like a sister to him... is that good? Is incest good? No, definitely not... but if incest is not blood-related, then that should be fine!  Wait, no, then that's not incest in the first place...'

Leaving Mettany in confusion, Avion walked away with his white clothes fluttered.

While the others were very curious about Avion, Princess Dana was admiring him and that was when she noticed, "Hm? How?"

"Why what, dear?" the Wrenwor Patriarch asked.

"There are blood all over the place. Why is Avion still clean?"

"Hm?" her father then observed and quickly noticed too, "You're right! What did he do to stay clean? I don't sense any elesps he used. It is obvious that he's not a mortal. However, even if he is secretly a Rank Eses, we should at least feel him use the element around him!"

The others, not only the Rank Es Elementalists, nodded in agreement.

Avion's image was sinking deeper into mystery in their eyes. They almost forgot about the other girls.

While they were all contemplating, the outer audience made noises, "It's starting again!" they were enthused again.

Edora looked at the Tamya and noticed something different.

"Prepare yourselves, I'm going all out." Tamya smiled as she retreat a few steps behind.

Mettany readied herself, raising her fists up, "Then I should go all out too!"

"No, you can't, you slut." Tamya whispered while smiling.

Mettany's face froze hearing an insult, 'She's not one to say such things... is she... jealous?'

"You are just a guinea pig that can only strengthen her body." Tamya covered her face with her hand and combed her hair up while pointing the other blade towards Mettany, "I will show you what abilities true villains have."
