Sacrifice: Time of Mine
Chapter 205: The Negotiators

Upon Mettany's question, everyone on Dragonian Sheran's side turned to look at Gamon.

The Penta Elementalist only shook his head in response.

'She's not lying?' even Old Maytan was doubting. This is because Immoral Elementalists are called that way for a reason. He had encountered so many of them in his whole life that even with his open-mindedness, he couldn't tolerate these people.

"Maybe she's just that good of a liar, not sure..." Gamon added.

Dragonian Sheran nodded and glared down towards Mettany, "Are you hiding something from us?" she inserted pressure with her words.

It is the same as intimidation. Even the Rank Ey Elementalist such as Mer all felt heavy. However, it only made them feel chill and nothing more.

But that wasn't the same for Alisera and Mettany. As the weakest and the target of this pressure, Mettany had made light of what situation she was truly in.

Her legs felt soggy and feeble. Her eyes rolled up to see a demon rather than a dragon instead.

"Iek-!" she sobbed out of fear, "I... I'm sorry! I don't know what I did!" she began to prostrate.

"Finally confessing to your sins..." Sheran satisfyingly muttered as she reduced her pressure, relieving a partial of her poor state.

'Do Sin Holders easily commit to their crimes?' Gamon thought to himself, ready to use Mind Elesps against this silver-haired girl if she was found to be tricking them. As for the question in his head, from his experience, he couldn't say yes to it.

He and Old Maytan wouldn't be so surprised if this Sin Holder would commit suicide rather than confess. That was why they killed the stronger one and kept the weaker one.

Tamya, on the other hand, had yet to manifest her Conditioned Elesk as Rank Eeh. If Gamon used Mind Elesps on her, then he would know. However, what if she's innocent? She would go insane from the Penta Elementalist's great Mind Elesps. They have no proof so they just kept her for now.

As for the location, Old Maytan got it solved with his Parallel Storage. Never underestimate Rank Es Elementalists. This Rank Es World Elementalist created a parallel world as a storage room. Albeit small compared to Earth, it is still bigger than Haliviana.

Mettany then continued her "confessions"

"I-I was just doing my task in the emergency mission in the guild t-then I suddenly lost control of my body and killed an innocent person for the first time!"

She was conscious the whole time. But under a Rank Bih's control, her soul has no chance of fighting back.

"A-after that, my body went to block the King of Karan and b-beat him up! Only when they escaped did I regain control of my body, I'm sorry!"

Mettany knew she's violent sometimes but she doesn't have any guts to kill someone!

"...." everyone looked at Gamon again.

'I know that I'm great at spotting a liar but you all are putting all the pressure on me, huh!'

"Ehem... based on my judgment, she is not lying. On the contrary, I think she's innocent. Or... she really is great at acting."

"Maybe she's just another victim?" Old Maytan suggested a possibility.

"But we still can't be too sure. She is still a Sin Holder... a cadre of the Immoral Elementalists." Dragonian Sheran showed great disgust when she reached the end of her sentence.

Meanwhile, caged in a cloud while being suspended in the air, casually defying gravity, Avion sighed a huge relief, 'I knew it, Mettany is innocent!' he didn't doubt her words.

"She is not a bad person. I've known Mettany for a short time but she is definitely not a bad person." Avion shouted in the background, But it is as if he didn't say anything as none except Mettany and Alisera considered what he said.

"Should we... keep her?" Old Maytan whispered towards the dragon. They were recruiting talents after all.

Wars take years, so it is better to invest sooner or later. If they recruited a solitary Rank Es then that would be best but how in the world could they see one like that?

The Might of Torge is all-encompassing and thus, was recruited. The Penta Elementalist or also known as the Mad Elemental Scholar is random and eccentric, not tied by any forces, a one of his kind, and thus, he joined. As for the Three-Tailed Prismatic Wolf, they were not even sure if he's an ally or an enemy yet. Cojier was just tagging along.

Also, they have multiple ways to increase a youngster's ranks. As long as they got to Rank Ey, they have a chance of reaching Rank Es based on their talents.

"No!" but Sheran just snapped her head away.

Old Maytan respected her decision. After which, he glanced at the Storm Prison, wishing for that handsome man to talk.

As if he understood Old Maytan's expression, Avion rebutted, "If you don't keep her, I will not cooperate then!"

The dragon heavily frowned, "Don't cooperate then!"

Not just Gamon but everyone had their faces twitched. They are now regretting that they are following this woman. Of course, she doesn't have total authority but still... she is the leader figurehead (training to be a real leader someday)

Strength is the ultimate authority. In the future, if Sheran ever reached Rank Es, she may become the strongest there ever, being worth under her!

But now, she doesn't seem to have the redeeming quality of a leader...

Maybe it's too early for her... they all thought.

"Lady Sheran, I think it's better to listen to Avion Teller." Gamon suggested with a smile.

"Yes, this little lady is just Rank Dih, I don't think she can do any harm. Even she is plotting a big scheme, we should be able to fend them off." Old Maytan backed the Penta Elementalist. His words were oozing with confidence to the point of being arrogant.

However, he is the Might of Torge, the only known Rank Es World Elementalist out there, he definitely has the position to be arrogant.

"Erhmm..." Sheran hesitated. She still has to consider their thoughts. After all, she just begged them to join her. But it's her instincts against Immoral Ementalists that's been stopping her.

'What do I do...?' her eyes seemed to spiral out of confusion.

"Is it perhaps the great dragon is scared of a Rank Dih?" Avion shouted in "surprise"

"Who's scared of who, young man?! Fine, let's keep her!"

'Easy!'
