Sacrifice: Time of Mine

Chapter 146: Ultimate Plan

A family has complicated circumstances and a group of family is a more complex thing.

However, inside the Trading-HIlls Capital, no matter how complicated they get, they would stay there.

The Vario Family had planted many essential materials, absorbing Haliviana's natal and blood energies to produce a counter against itself.

A soul can manipulate the elements through energy. Meaning, energy can affect the soul since soul can control energy.

By this logic, to defeat a soul, one needs to have a countering elemental energy. Elemental Energy is the only energy an Elementalist control, except if they entered Rank Es then they can also control their natal energy.

However, is there any Rank Es Elementalist in the Rianzares Kingdom? Having a Rank Es existence will make Haliviana warry. That is why she chose this small island with only Rank Bih rulers.

Darea could be said to be special. Firstly, because she have yet to make any move against the cocoon. Secondly, she can easily hide her energy and soul with her Energy and Soul Element together with her Absol Mind, making her immune to soul attacks.

God Centre, however... even Darea didn't know how he did it. That's why Darea was off-guard.

Going back, the Vario Family's immoral methods are numerous. It mostly needed sacrifices of human life as if they're lab rats. 

The first immoral method of the Vario Family had done was "reusing" the dead soldiers. Even Non-Elementalists have their soul.

After death, the soul won't leave the body. Instead, it will be assimilated to the nature just like how its body decomposes. Whether when and what it reincarnates to depends on the flow of the world energy.

Meaning, everyone will reincarnate. It is impossible to create something from nothing. Even souls follow this rules.

But at the same time, before the body decomposes, the soul was still intact, albeit "sleeping"

So before the body rots, the Vario Family used it to feed the needy. After eating enough corpses, these people will become as strong as an Elementalist. 

However, because of conflicting souls, since they are not Elementalist who have strong souls, these commoners will turn mad.

This created a panic in the three kingdoms.

Also, if only the Rianzares does not have this problem, wouldn't it be too suspicious? So they sacrificed and turned their own creation against them.

This made many evacuate while the Elementalists fought against this cannibals. The Vario Family was etched onto many people's mind as fearsome.

However, no one knew the cause of their madness and strength. The Vario Family was "caught" and "executed" back then. Meanwhile, their true forces was still keeping the truth in the dark.

How can others avoid what they do not know in the first place?

But this was just the first step of their plan. The next was to plant essential materials onto each noble family that even has the least bloodline of Haliviana.

Haliviana is an ancestor. Historically, she bore children as a noble before turning into the queen of their island. As a ruler, she can have a harem with differing Elements. And she did so to preserve her bloodline.

Galion could guess why Haliviana bore so many children. It is not because she wants to but she needs to for her breakthrough.

But this didn't make her the ruler as she disappeared. Meanwhile, her children split up due to the difference in their Elements.

Plant Elementalists are more accepted in the Karan Kingdom. Earth to Hansheles and Water to Rianzares.

Numui's story alone makes it clear how disadvantageous it is to have a different bloodline.

And just like how the Crome Family was oppressed once the disappearance of their Queen Arcansas was revealed, Haliviana's children went into hiding.

Her bloodline continued. As a Plant Elementalist, the children in the Karan Kingdom became dominant. But since the men of her harem were weak if compared to herself, it restricted her talented bloodline.

Presently, the queen of the Karan Kingdom was one of her descendent.

Next, almost all of the Plant Elemental Noble Families has her bloodline. This includes the Aranre and Anzteran Families.

The other two, which is the Water and Earth Noble Families have few but it still exist - the Lesan Family which was an Earth Elemental Noble Family.

For the Water Element, the Vario Family governs the Rianzares Kingdom, there's no need to talk about it.

After making an agreement with the Vario Family, Kalin was tasked to collect these implanted essential materials that grew with Haliviana's bloodline, nurturing itself to become a counterattack.

Kalin first got the Ember Mind from the Vario Family easily. Next, he painstakingly studied the twin that was separated to Anranre and Anzteran.

This is due to the suspicion of King Isero. Since both families are under him, they could be easily controlled.

So the twins were split apart when they were born. That explains their same appearance and talent.

After creating a ruckus at a certain bar, Kalin got the implanted essential material when he saw that Van has the birthmarked near his crotch.

He got the Counteracting Blood Energy by secretly taking some of Van's hair while the latter was dead-drunk.

Then, while acting like a stupid asshole, Kalin stole Memi's memento from her parents which were Toltu's Pearl. Toltu was a Rank Bih Fire Elemental Beast back then that Memi's grandparents killed in exchange for their lives.

Finally, the Breathing Fire... The Vario Family said it should be on the Karan Family.

Ember Mind to make one's entity pure Fire Elemental for a short period of time. Counteracting Blood Energy as the medium of offense. Toltu's Pearl as the storage of large Fire Essence, making any fire elesp stronger. Breathing Fire would mark the target for a hundred percent accuracy.

Using these four essential materials, Kalin was willing to sacrifice himself as it contains great risk. He trained and endured in the dark all his life for this moment.

How could his family accept this if they know this?

However, if they captured Princess Alisera, then there should be more methods to use rather than the first plan.

Of course, this is also because Galion doesn't trust the Vario Family. So to play safe, they should kill the three kings. When chaos arises, they would kidnap the princess.

Kalin suggested this since Galion is there. With a Rank Eybi Elementalist there, what could these Rank Bih Kings do?

His parents still doesn't want this because they knew he will come as a safety measurement. After all, he may have the bloodline of Haliviana as well. He is more compatible with the Counteracting Blood Energy than Galion. Furthermore, with his talent, Numui can't be a substitute.

However, that changes since Darea herself wanted to Avion to go and kill the three kings.

Galion didn't have to show up and Avion could easily assassinate the three kings and capture Alisera.

"Another welcome party? But this time, it's for the three kings and I am hidden as Kalin's bodyguard." Avion sighed, he had experienced one welcome party and he already had enough of it.
