Sacrifice: Time of Mine

Chapter 165: Sea Monster Summoning Battlefield

If this mortal assassination technique can make a mortal reach the strength of Rank Bih Elementalist, why is it not popular?

How many Non-Elementalist have dreamed of taking revenge or becoming powerful?

At most, it can let him reach the strength of Rank Cee once Avion mastered everything about the techniques and its profundities, not only the book itself, which is far from true.

He was midway in mastering his first book.

All of his feats were only achieved due to his absolute control of time. There are limitations but within that limitations, his control was absolute!

Avion pondered and estimated. Would he risk it or not?

'Although I will just revive, I feel like my sanity is going further the more I died.' Avion himself was aware of the dangers of death. Life is not supposed to come back after death. If it died, it stays dead permanently.

Princess Alisera created a second soul. However, an Elementalist could only have a few souls before their entity couldn't contain it any longer. It still has its limitations.

But does Avion's revival has this kind of limitation? No, but it still has a drawback.

His soul will eventually exhaust itself. After dying too many times, it will break and shatter, not letting it go to the afterlife. After all, the soul is the person's consciousness and intelligence. If Avion could still remember his death, it will be a great burden to his living soul.

Once died too many times, his soul might think that he is really dead.

Avion was not clear about this, but he was aware of it since he could feel it. So would he risk dying or would he run away?

Darea popped in his head, 'I can't run away.'

Steeling his nerves, Avion stood up and inspected his enemy. King Gregor was already standing on the same level as he is. 

Formless books were being cast thrice all at the same time. As the head of the Vario Family and Rianzares Family, King Gregor would not be so weak. He is stronger than the Guild Master whom Avion could only grazed back then.

Avion could only kill the Rank Ey Elementalist, Queen Teresa, since she was unguarded. But now that this Rank Bih Elementalist was awake and prepared, it would be multiple times harder than killing the queen in her sleep to defeat him.

He took out his knife and ran towards the king. In the realm without time, he doesn't need to hurry up. He was running to remove his hesitation and fear.

Time turned back.

King Gregor suddenly felt a presence behind him and he didn't wait to protect himself. After his room exploded, not even a few seconds had passed before this assassin was already behind him.

"So it's you!" King Gregor had already known who it was. His realization only concluded now. At the same time, the first formless book exploded into a water sphere covering his thin body.

He turned around to see that the person behind him was gone.

At the next moment, he heard a swooshing sound.

'This is dangerous!' he didn't dare receive it even though he has his barrier on. The king side-stepped and dodge the incoming blast.

Boom!*

By its sheer force and impact, a bigger explosion boomed behind him, making a large part of their resort mansion crumble.

"What was that!?" he growled but didn't dare to turn back to see as he felt ten or so projectiles coming at him from a direction. Each of these projectiles is faster than before!

"Hmph!" the king activated his second elesp. The water sphere contracted and only formed a clear coat to his body. Then the third elesp became sparkles that made the water coat move in a swift motion!

Book Synthesis: Armor Hydro-Machinery!

He activated it in just a second.

Like a power suit, the water coat increased King Gregor's movement speed, evading every powerful projectile thrown at him, hitting the other unfortunate buildings. 

His eyes darted around but knowing the enemy, he knew he can't catch him. King Gregor had known Avion for a while ever since King Isero has said many excuses back then.

This dangerous man could appear and disappear, wherever and whenever, how could he not think of a counter against Avion?!

The only problem was, he has no idea that Avion was posing as Relle nor his mission. He only knew that it was Kalin who has to do this job.

Bringing out three more formless books, clouds descended and formed water spheres all over the area. Each of them has the size double that of an average man. More than a dozen of them hovered with the same distance from each other.

Projectiles tried to destroy them but the clouds were a sea of water themselves, refilling it.

At once, more than half a hundred large spheres were placed, King Gregor popped out another two formless books!

An image appeared within each sphere, an image of a sea monster.

Outre Book Synthesis: Sea Monster Summoning Battlefield!

The water spheres all moved at the same time. Sea monsters jumped out from one sphere, landing onto another.

Each one of these sea monsters is at least Rank Cee, for a Rank Bih King, King Gregor has more than a hundred Rank Cee Water Elemental Beasts as his pets!

This was an outrageous move that filled the courtyard!

"HAHAHA! No matter where you come out, one of my fishes will be here to open their mouth and eat you whole!" King Gregor laughed but he was still wary. He has no idea how strong Avion truly is.

However, if Avion is that strong, this mysterious man would've killed the king a long time ago. The only confusion is the fast projectiles...

There was no data about him or his rank. Even from the Gon Butcher Guild, there were no records to be found, only the strange stored used Appraisal Scrolls, both Fine and normal, with random numbers on them.

'If only I can summon the undead Rank Bih Water Elemental Beasts then it would be much better.' King Gregor was a little bit dissatisfied as he looked at the incoming people at the scene.

The first one to respond was Guild Master Gon and next were the heads of the nobles. Following the adults were the youngsters, namely, Kalin and the others.

"King Gregor, what is happening?" it was the Guild Master who first asked while the others were mesmerized with this Rank Bih Outre Book Synthesis. They all subconsciously took a step back as these group of water spheres rotated while sea monsters jumped simultaneously.

"There was an attempted assassination." the king replied which stunned everyone.
