Sacrifice: Time of Mine

Chapter 170: Meteor Shower

"Where are you going!?" King Gregor growled but could do nothing about it as projectiles from all directions came at them while the black figure flickered from time to time, his targets the two kings.

However, they knew well that if the queen was not giving chase, this black figure won't just flicker and they will no longer be alive to see his face!

King Gregor had set up his Book Synthesis: Armor Hydro-Machinery. A transparent cloak covered him that softly reflected the moonlight and the starry sky, but soon, a red glow appeared on it.

Besides him, King Isero began glowing up as he was put into a fire. He neither screamed nor flinched. This fire then grew out, disintegrating even the dust that it seemingly attracts.

It was another Protective Book Synthesis. As much as both kings wanted to keep an outre armor or barrier up, how will they be able to attack if all of their concentration is on their defense?

But fortunately for them, the flickering black figure stopped approaching them. It seemed like it worked!

Now, they only have to worry about the projectiles. Furthermore, they can finally spread out, not needing the queen's help.

"Gon!" King Gregor glared, finally having the luxury to gnarl at the Guild Master, "You're finally showing your true side! Why are you not helping us!? Letting us, your rulers, out here at the risk of dying while you stand there, knowing that you could help. Isn't that the same as treason!?" he growled.

Guild Master Gon gulped. If he were to choose getting targeted by those projectiles versus not, he would definitely choose the latter without batting an eye. However, there are still consequences, and as the King of Rianzares said, why is he not helping?

For this, he could only defend himself, "I am neither under any of your rule. I live in the Trading-Hills Capital. I would only risk my life to the Crown Council." he decided to play it safe. There's no saying what the outcome of this battle would be.

Meanwhile, Mettany was intensely glaring at them. She knew about Avion's control of time. Meaning, he was doing so much work behind the scenes!

He may seem so powerful but knowing the truth, Mettany could picture Avion moving everywhere and contemplating on his actions, filling his head with hesitation if he would turn back time to risk his life.

She didn't care whatever reason why he was doing this. Worst case scenario, he was doing this out of the fun. In that case, actually, Mettany would be glad. It means that Avion is having fun at this and not burdening himself.

And if it is otherwise... her heart was clenching in pain as she imagines it like that.

Yet, Mettany could do nothing. Even with a Rank Bih strength, going in that crossfire only equals death. If she were to enter that, Avion would stop throwing the fast projectiles not to hit her. She would just be a dead weight to him!

She could only grit her teeth, hoping that any of the royalties die soon.

However, fate does not go with her wishes. The battle continued, groups of projectiles were sent, no longer just one like before.

There are times that the projectiles become faster than before, creating an even bigger force and explosion upon impact!

Not being able to find their target, since he was both everywhere and nowhere, the two kings and the queen could only persevere as they mostly dodge to preserve their energy.

As time passes, their strength was coming back. Their prime state now with the second soul could never reach the prime state just the day before which was a great shame.

But how could their mood dampen by this if it meant coming back to life, taking revenge, and stopping this assassin take their princess!?

The rage within the King and Queen of Karan has yet to fade. They didn't let it cloud their judgment.

Rains upon rains of these pseudo-meteors came above, left, right, front, and back to them. IThey did not stop.

"When will he ran out of energy!?" King Gregor shouted their thoughts. They thought that this Avion would stop soon and they will then track him. If his energy depletes, meaning he cannot use his teleportation or blink or whatever he calls that unnatural elesp!

By then, they will have fun interrogating him! HAHAHA!

Hoping for this thought to become reality, the two kings and the queen kept their ground as they dodge and defend themselves from the impact. If they were to meet the fastest projectile head-on, they knew, they wouldn't survive.

Queen Teresa's eyes widen in frustration, 'But in this progress, we are the one who will run out of energy, either mental or elemental first!' when she felt that her energy had gone down by half, she knew they were not in the optimum position.

Even though she was the primary power in their team-up and was the one who was always keeping these two kings out of danger most of the time, her energy limit is still many times deeper than these Rank Bih Kings.

'These two will soon lose their protective book synthesis. If that happens, I will have to protect them which takes up most of my attention. They will become burdens instead as they regain their energy. If desperate enough, I will only protect Isero and sacrifice this immoral bastard.' her eyes mercilessly glanced towards King Gregor.

'You have been a pest to Ancestor Haliviana for too long! if not for the fact that you're dividing Avion's attacks right now, I would've killed you right here now that my true strength is out...'

King Gregor felt this and become warry. Thus, their group became disoriented.

As a Plant Elementalist, King Isero would have faster regeneration of his energy. Although he has to consume more to keep up since Plant Elementalist are weaker in other aspects, if he concentrated enough, he will regain it in no time!

Meanwhile, in the realm without time, Avion dropped from the air, tens of meters away from the ground after he just threw a group of Blast Throws which becomes a Meteor Shower.

'Actually, why didn't I just name Blast Throw as Meteor Throw...? That would be cooler...' blood came out of his nose as his eyes closed.

Only when he was midway onto hitting the ground did Darea come out of her Immaterial Body to catch him.

"This is your sixth time falling unconscious. If I didn't keep catching you, you would've already died you know?"
