Sacrifice: Time of Mine

Chapter 215: Looking For Talent

The Romen Couple rushed to Edora.

Two Rank Cee Elementalists against once Rank Bih. It should be quite logical how this should turn out. However, the result of the battle says otherwise.

The Romen Couple dropped onto the ground, their consciousness fading.

'You two are lucky that there are people I can't show my bad sides here.' Edora looked down on them, sadistically, she inwardly grinned. Noticing this change of expression, she immediately covered the stretch of her lips.

'Oops, I can't show that I'm enjoying this... but I would never deny that I am on both sides.' 

Even Kalin was stunned for a moment. This is Edora's true strength?

'Is it because I have already weakened her while she was still carrying the princess? Tsk! It seemed like even though I have the advantage of setting the battleground, I still lost when she got serious.' Kalin didn't hot-bloodedly rushed forward like earlier. He knew he had to attend to his parents' health now.

Avion was watching when Edora looked at him with a proud smile on her face.

'What is she doing?' he only spared a disgusted look before turning his head towards the poor Galion who had no power to resist, 'But I never expected that she had a sadistic side on her. Maybe she is only an M towards me since I'm the one who has woken it?'

Avion glanced towards the Royal-Knight Guard again and saw her glittering eyes towards him as if expecting praise.

'I don't understand her...'

Meanwhile, Edora herself was thinking the same thing, 'I don't understand myself too... but when he looks at me with disgust, I get all tingly.'

"Is she only Rank Dih?" one warrior beside Gergian asked, "Even if we say that those Rank Cee have never fought in their like while the Rank Dih the opposite, the raw power should still be able to overpower her..."

"Maybe she has an Elesk." Gergian replied.

"If that's so, maybe Dragonian Sheran will recruit her too? Lord Gamon has too many techniques to upgrade one's bloodline."

"Let us see... but more importantly, I wonder what's inside that elderly that made Lord Gamon use Mind Elesps?"

The Rank Ey Earth Elemental Disciple answered Gergian's question, "Maybe it is about Haliviana."

Gergian and the other warriors nodded, extremely interested in Rank Eses. For them, it's just a myth, another figment of the Elementalist's imagination...

After that, no one bothered the process and eventually, Gamon released Galion which was caught by Kalin.

"Don't worry, he has a strong mental fortitude. Although there are some after-effects, it is only temporary."

"T-thank you..." Kalin could only grit his teeth and took his great-grandfather away. Even though this Penta Elementalist harmed his old man, he had to say thanks. It was unnecessary but in front of a might Rank Es Elementalist, the teenager couldn't resist being overly polite.

"What did you get?" Dragonian Sheran asked.

"I advised that we should immediately go to the Crome Family." Gamon solemnly said.

"So that is the case..." Old Maytan muttered, "But before we go..." he then looked at the dragon, "I think there are some talents here, I suggest you pick up some youngsters."

"But I don't see anyone who is that talented except for the princess and this... lust incarnate." she pointed at Mettany who was bounded onto the ground.

Mettany was about to open her mouth and rebuke but stopped herself.

'I almost forgot that she's a dragon and what she said is true... but I've change... I only lust for Avion now...' she got flustered for a second.

"Is that so? But I think your view on searching talent is limited, Lady."

"Why is that, Old Maytan?"

"As a mighty dragon, you are very sensitive to another being's bloodline, however, you rely on it too much. You only use instincts to gauge a person's potential."

"Oh..." Dragonian Sheran was open to accept her flaws, "Okay, so how do you see talent then?"

"Well, of course, their bloodline, that is top-priority. That boy over there. He is already Rank Cee at that age. He is talented but if compared to the princess, he is not that special. Against Darea, he will mostly be a cannon-fodder, if not a burden. But that woman. Although her Rank Limit is only Rank Dih, she could defeat two Rank Cees."

"Yeah, anyone can see that." the dragon listened to the World Elementalist carefully.

"That is not the only trait she has. While her enemies are being fueled by anger, she fought them calmly... under our presence. After that, look at her, smiling with pride towards Avion. I call that ambition."

The two whispered to each other that only Gamon could overhear.

"Ambition? Isn't that just infatuation?"

"Yes, maybe, but someone looking up like that after making an enemy is someone not to be underestimated." Old Maytan spoke from experience.

Avion didn't know that the person he was giving scorn to was getting highly praised. However, if he heard this, he wouldn't be that surprised. After all, Edora is someone who rose up from dirt to the highest position she could reach before reaching the age of thirty.

"That kind of person will never see the darkness of the night but only gaze at the moon." the old man continued.

"But wouldn't that make her weak and ignorance?" the dragon raised an eyebrow.

"Normally, yes, but she... is the person who will gaze at the moon because she does not fear the darkness."

Dragonian Sheran's eyes shimmered, "That's... cool..."

"You're new to this world so... you could learn from her." Old Maytan said something ridiculous. The Dragon Race is very proud due to their insecurity from the past and also because of their present superior status. On both sides of the coin as the causes, they became obnoxiously prideful creatures.

However, Dragonian Sheran was not that kind of dragon, that is why Old Maytan and Gamon wanted to see how she will improve and become the strongest Rank Es there is.

"Then let's pick her." she nodded, observing Edora, the Rank Dih Royal-Knight Captain.

"I think she is the only one that is talented enough." Old Maytan then made his voice normal, "Shall we go?"

Gamon then glanced at Avion first, 'I'll let everything be on your way... but the moment we learn that you are not the Lord Sorcerer's son, hehehe... after all, I remember that he has no interest in women or in love overall!'
