Sacrifice: Time of Mine

Chapter 217: Leaving Haliviana

After Old Maytan spoke, they were about to leave, bringing Avion Teller, Princess Alisera, Mettany, Edora, and Galion Romen with them.

King Isero has no power to even have a say in this. This was the same for the Guild Master.

However, before they leave, Old Maytan finally noticed-

"Wait, where's Cojier?"

"You're right... we were too caught up to this that we didn't even notice that he disappeared." Gamon spread his senses, Cojier was nowhere to be found. He must be far away.

"Great Sirs, if you are looking for the gray-haired Light Elementalist, he had gone that way when the big explosion happened earlier." King Isero immediately responded after hearing their concerns.

"This is bad..." Old Maytan immediately understood what's happening.

"That wolf wouldn't go that far, right?" Dragonian Sheran asked but later realized it was a stupid question. She overheard how Cojier have come to this continent. It was due to his outstandingly twisted sense of direction.

"Come, let's hurry." Old Maytan didn't say anything else before casting a Rank Ey transportation elesp.

A boulder rose from the ground and smoothly traversed through the lands.

Avion looked behind him and it was the first time that he had seen the capital so little. He looked around.

'Mettany seemed to be sad to be separated from her father figure, but at the same time, she looked excited.' he immediately found a spectrum from the girls' emotions.

Princess Alisera with the heaviest mood, Mettany in the middle, and Edora with high spirits.

'I can't believe I got to escape the king that easily. I thought it would take me years first before I am successfully relieved from my duties.' Edora grinned, glancing at Avion, before walking towards the princess to try and comfort her.

However, Alisera didn't even notice her as she stared blankly at the capital that was getting smaller and smaller. Even though they were traveling fast, they felt little wind pressure.

It was a smooth ride and before they even knew it, they saw the sea and the Kingdom of Rianzares beside it.

Upon arrival, the executives greeted them as soon as they can. Earlier, they saw a projectile that was destroying everything on its way.

'It should be the Might of Torge who could throw such power.' Commander Themor thought and this erased their remaining doubt about these people.

"Did you spot a gray-haired youth?" Dragonian Sheran didn't waste time and immediately asked away.

"A gray-haired youth?" Commander Themor suddenly felt pressure. He could feel their hurry but at the same time, he wanted to be of help.

"Yes or no?!"

"N-no!"

The dragon then looked towards Old Maytan which the latter then said, "Then I'll just look for his traces."

A golden-brown book came from within him and dispersed at light-speed in every direction.

Rank Es Elesp: World's Memory

With this elesp, even the smallest clues and hints were revealed to the Might of Torge's eyes. Only he could see the complexities and depth of the traces nature left for him.

'A Rank Es Elesp...' the new ones all thought with awe at this moment.

They did not have time to have a fascination towards this level of elesp earlier. No... they didn't even know that this was the power of a Rank Es Elesp. This should be their first time seeing this.

Everything that the Rank Es Elementalists did earlier was just the direct manipulation of the elemental energy that surrounds them. They didn't need the use of Rank Es Elesps yet,.. until now.

A Rank Es Light Beast Elementalist is on the loose, after all. It would be pretty devastating to lose such a powerhouse.

After a few moments, the boulder moved in a hurry as Old Maytan sighed with a palm to his face.

"I don't know if I should be amazed or be terrified but Cojier swam through the Areyas Sea, possibly going back to the Manuio Isle. If he swam straight, he may meet the Danhan Family there. I also found out that he brought the Rank Ey Danhan guy for some reason too."

Dragonian Sheran and Gamon looked at him with surprise.

"Do you think that he intentionally went there?" the dragon asked.

The Penta Elementalist just shook his head and said, "I think it's safe to say that he actually just wants to come back to us but failed because of his otherworldly sense of direction."

"That wolf..." Old Maytan sighed again, believing what Gamon said. He then said, "Arcansas is important right now but we cannot lose Cojier. I will find him while you two go to the Crome Family. Is that alright?" he looked at the dragon.

'Hm? Why is he asking me?' even though she thought that, for some reason, she tilted her head up and answered, "Yes, that's fine. Once we get to the Manuio Isle, let's split up."

"Okay, Lady Sheran." Old Maytan slightly nodded his head.

'Fufu~' Dragonian suddenly felt good about herself.

'I hope she realized herself that she is getting played by her emotions soon enough.' Gamon could only smile.

With that, they traveled through the Areyas Sea, meeting many beasts. But with the aura of a dragon, none deterred their way. They were hoping to encounter another legendary Rank Es Elemental Beast but they were left disappointed when they reached the shore of the Manuio Isle, one of the Six Great Islands in Arcansas.

Even though they were in a foreign land, only Avion, Mettany, and Edora felt a little excited about this.

"Then I hope you will find success." the Might of Torge nodded and went towards the Danhan Royal Family, surprising the Royal Family there.

Gamon then took charge of the transportation. Although it was slower than the Rank Es World Elementalist, he still has the greatest power there.

Throughout the way, there was silence in the backseat.

Galion depressively stayed in one corner.

Mettany wanted to talk to Avion but was too scared of Dragonian Sheran so she was unable to.

Edora was always accompanying Princess Alisera to comfort her. She doesn't get near Avion as well since that would make the princess feel bad.

Finally, Avion was still bound to the Penta Elementalist, albeit low-key as if it was non-existent but it is there, making him unable to escape.

'If not for Revert, I would've died from hunger.' he thought.
