Sacrifice: Time of Mine

Chapter 250: Cheating or... Not Cheating but Dying?

Just like the Conqueress, these people don't interact with lower people. If they do then those 'lower people' should've been more familiar to them.

The Rank Es are legendary to the common people and the same could be applied the other way around. High-ranking people look at commoners as too rare as they never meet them in their circles for centuries.

That is why they have skewed common sense. Living in separate worlds. While it was obvious to those who are being affected, the people who cause it were oblivious.

'That's cheating!' the other people inwardly complained as they were having suspicious as to how this Avion Teller, a mortal, got connected to high-ranking people.

'They're too weak...' meanwhile, the high-ranking people were confused. Rank Eeh being defeated was too common, but being defeated by a mortal? Now that is confusing.

'Maybe, this is the lower stages and they have low standards here, enough for a competent mortal to win...' they just found an explanation for themselves.

Jemer could see the situation quite clearly. However, he didn't do anything about it. Even if these high-ranking people want them to dance naked, they would gladly do so.

'It is cheating but so what? These people are the law!' that is why he didn't raise his concerns and told the Elders, 'Can you please remove your auras?'

That question is the same as 'Can you please break and take my neck off as the brain in my head is already rotten and unusable for thinking of using my authority to order you Supreme Elders?'

In another perspective, Elder Khor is his superior of superior of superior of superior of superior, no, maybe even superior of that superior!

'But if they can do what they want, why can't they just take Avion and bring him where he wants to?' 

Thus, this created a very confusing atmosphere as everyone was thinking of why.

Only one person didn't think that much, it was Dragonian Sheran who was thinking, 'Of course, he can defeat that thing in one hit.'

After a pause, the host finally called, "Rank 9, please enter the stage!"

With wobbly legs, the Rank 9th entered the arena. He had bandages on his fists. It seemed like he will be using no weapon but those fists. 

Not willing to be looked down upon, the Rank 9th rushed with a tough roar.

"Raaa!-thud*"

Avion, one of the unaffected people, looked at his opponents with a disappointed gaze.

Clap clap clap*

"R-rank 8, come to the stage."

Thud*

Clap clap clap

"Rank 7..."

Thud*

"6"

Thud*

Clap*

"5"

Thud*

Clap*

"4"

Thud*

Clap*

The host was feeling another kind of pressure. He looked at Jemer which the latter just shrugged his shoulders.

Not wanting the show to be too boring, the host then decided to cut to the chase, "Rank Eeh Trio, to the stage."

"You mean... us three?" the Weightlifting Scholar pointed at themselves.

"Yes, come to the stage!"

'What is that idiot doing!? It's obvious that these high-ranking people want to help Avion win, why are you going against them?!' Jemer had already been thinking what he would say to sacrifice the host to escape the wrath of Rank Es Elementalists.

However, there was no reaction from the high-ranking people that made the host and Jemer sighed in relief.

Meanwhile, the trio stepped onto the stage.

'Why is this punishment play getting played the opposite?' Tattoo thought but was also relieved that the three of them were called or else they would end up the same as those (literally) crackheads.

They were taking the pressure a little better as they weren't known as the strongest in the Rank Eeh stadium for nothing. However, that still doesn't mean that they were at their prime.

"Wait!" but Avion placed his weapon down with a frown, "Are you sure you guys at the Top 10? The Demolisher who ranked 26th at the mortal stadium is much stronger than these people!" he complained.

The commoners who heard this wanted to slap their faces, 'What are you acting like you are not cheating!?' they couldn't consider that Avion didn't know.

"Avion... they are part of the Top 10... the real deal." Jemer explained.

"What? Then why do they seem so weak?" Avion was not being arrogant as he was just raising his concerns.

The people there looked at each other. The 'victims' knew the answer while the 'suspects' want to know too.

'Avion... oh, Avion... what I've done to you that you want to kill me so bad? Did I mistreat you? At first, that was my intention, yes. Do you have a grudge?' Jemer could only bring a forced smile and became polite as much as he could when he answered, "That's because... just the presence of the great Supreme Elders is enough to pressure us..." his jaw quivered as his eyes became teary.

'Really!?' the two Elders didn't afford to make a face but they were internally surprised.

However, they couldn't remove their aura as they would look like idiots who didn't know it was their fault. So, they affirmed to their auras as if they didn't hear anything.

"Great Supreme Elders? Who're that people?" Avion asked with a wrinkled forehead.

'Oh, so that's it! You want to die, is that it? I am just a casualty for your attempt to die?' Jemer thought. He then pointed with his hands with this torso lowered, making an awkward appearance, "The great Supreme Elders are those two magnificent gentlemen over there."

Avion looked at saw the Crown Princes first since they have those conspicuous crowns on their head before seeing the two old men at the back.

"You mean those two old men?" he asked as he pointed with on finger.

!!!

Everyone's face suddenly darkened.

The innocent audience have began praying in their heads while some had tears spilling onto their goodbye letters.

"Tell my wife I love her."

"Yeah, I'll tell her I love her too."

"..."

"Jeremy, we're going to die here, I need to confess."

"I will kill you whether we go to heaven or hell."

However, everything changed when Avion waved his hand, "Misters, can you please remove your aura?"

Some were trying to leave while some had their souls already left them. Instead of waiting for their deaths, some had already died with their eyes rolled to white.
