Sacrifice: Time of Mine

Chapter 244: The Calm Before the Storm

In the Centre Continent, ever since their God, Centre himself died, the whole continent was turned into hell.

Apexial Beasts under the damnable Conqueress have appeared everywhere, creating chaos and destruction.

There was no escape from them.

The legends that are said to be only lower than God Centre himself were unable to stop these Apexial Beasts. These legends are not to be underestimated as they were in the same league as the Might of Torge and the Penta Elementalist. They were above the average Rank Es Elementalists and only lower than the world rulers like the Conqueress and the Lord Sorcerer.

While the great battle happening on the Manuio Isle was definitely newsworthy that would travel around the world after a few days, it was small compared to the war in the Centre Continent.

However, one day, the armies under the Conqueress just stopped advancing before changing their direction.

With the aerial army as scouts and vanguard, it was obvious where they were headed to... the Arcansas Continent.

The people in the Centre Continent held their breath before releasing it with relief after confirming that the Darea's army didn't leave a single soldier to even collect all their spoils of war.

As if they were desperate, they all went to the Continent of Arcansas. Strangely, in the whole world, the continents of Great Darea were the only ones that are a bit peaceful even though they were filled with humanoid elemental beasts.

The people of the Centre Continent didn't want to warn the Arcansas Continent. This time, they would become the spectator, waiting for the results and see if they can see the advantage.

The spies there were the ones who reported what was happening.

Once the words were received, it spread fast and in just one day, all Rank Es and the majority of the Rank Ey Elementalists knew the terror that awaits them.

On the night of the day the news spread, many Supreme Royal Families have already banded together to form alliances. Nearby Great Countries have communicated with each other which was very unusual to happen.

After multiple meetings, the powerhouses of the Arcansas Continent all felt pressure as they readied themselves.

They were now regretting that they didn't help Dragonian Sheran in her quest to amass the strongest team against the strongest person in the world.

Many tried to contact the Lord Sorcerer, however, no one knew where he is or if he was even in the continent anymore. This made them not rely on the strongest person in the Arcansas Continent.

While the other five Great countries were trying to help each other which could not be seen happening in the past centuries, the Manuio Isle was unable to respond.

No one knew what was happening there as the people there were busy surviving rather than telling the others uninvolved what happened.

Meanwhile, the Reruon Mountain Land was uncooperative. Unknown to the other five Great Countries, the four Supreme Royal Families in the Reruon were guilty and facing the pressure of framing the Penta Elementalist.

Now, they are more desperate to hire Dragonian Sheran's "Little Sister Seran" after she dominated the Eypex Challenge. A challenge that was made not to be completed as it was ridiculously difficult for any Rank Ey Elementalists.

This was in the hope to appease Dragonian Sheran and try to hire her too. At the same time, they were hesitating if they should release the Penta Elementalist.

Why would they? Their fear of him is very true. Although they don't know what is happening to the Manuio Isle, they knew how strong this Penta Elementalist is and was very cautious about him.

What if this cunning man messed up with the higher-ups with wits just to get revenge?

The heads of each Supreme Royal Family knew how shameful getting imprisoned as a Rank Es Elementalist is!

In estimation, Darea's army may arrive between one week to one month. That was with the help of the Apexial Beasts' natural elesp if they have such convenient elesps for moving an entire army. Which is to be expected.

And if the Apexial Beasts, the Nine Generals were to come first, it wouldn't take them a day to cross the continental seas...

Many were wondering what is going on with the Conqueress' head. Did the Lord Sorcerer die in her hands too, in secret, that made her complacent on ruling over the whole world and start a conquest with two continents at the same time?

That's not far off. After all, she had already conquered three total continents and united them as one under her ruling. She is definitely a professional at conquering!

On top of that, why is the Lord Sorcerer seemed to be missing!?

But no matter what was truly happening, the world is now entering an age of war...

"I don't like blades..."

Meanwhile...

"Then how about these gauntlets? I think they're a fit for you." Jemer suggested.

"Nah, I want something heavy but is just one piece... wait! You have those big hammer thing? The weapon that Hammerpig I watched has, I want to try one of my abilities to that."

"You mean a warhammer? Of course, we have those. However, blades are the mainstream so we have those in low quality." Jemer frowned, "A warhammer is easy to bent and break due to its own weight and they are harder to repair due to their shape. Well, a mortal warhammer that is."

"You mean you have an elesp warhammer?"

"No, elesp weapons are too rare to appear here. Maybe the Grand Colosseum have them, I'm not too sure."

"Oh, but as long as it is usable, even easy to break, I'm fine with that."

"Your choice." Jemer nodded and revealed the warhammer.

"Why... why does that look so bad-ass?"

"Bad-ass...? This is actually used as a decoration, a creation of extricating art, not an actual weapon, didn't think that this is the only one left. Although this does look cool, it too fragile to be called a weapon."

"I'll take it!"

Meanwhile, the cause of almost everything was oblivious to it and was trying to pick cheap weapons.
