Sacrifice: Time of Mine
Chapter 261: Life and Death for the Supreme Elders

To explain why Avion is on white robes first, it first needs to be explained that in the lower stadiums, the soldiers basically can do anything as long as it isn't illegal. That was why they're abusive and arrogant. There are very many things that one can do to prisoners that aren't illegal.

Like teasing or roasting them...

However, when Avion came, a mortal, it was hilarious to worship him. It's like making a dog a mayor or a kid a king. On top of that, he actually says nice stuff.

Therefore, when they learned Avion was placed in the most dangerous battle in the Rank Dih stadium ever in history, they planned something, something hilarious.

A ceremony before the Mortal Saint becomes a martyr. Avion couldn't laugh with them since the last step to becoming a martyr is dying.

That was why he was forced against his will. Avion's screams resounded in the cellar labyrinth where nobody can hear him. But looking at the clothes, he actually liked them so he changed into them himself.

He had always been wearing the black suit he used for assassination back then. His black and white clothing is with the Conqueress. Avion wasn't worried about it being lost since he will get it back.

In the present, it resulted in four Supreme Elders kneeling before him. Never this has happened in history. For a Rank Es to kneel to another, it must come with a price or that another had sufficient strength to force the former.

However, they kneeled without being forced to, what does this mean?

"I'm not even a saint from the start..." while Avion was pointing a finger at the soldiers he got closed to in one day, he saw familiar faces in the back, "Old Maytan?"

"Yes, it is me, Avion." Old Maytan who appeared from the ground along with the other Rank Ey Elementalists replied.

Behind him, Mer was looking around with a creepy face as if he was looking for something. When his eyes spotted a beautiful woman, he shouted with a happy face, "Mistress-"

But he was interrupted when Old Maytan pulled his ears and whispered something.

"Her name's Seran."

Sheran then came down and was allowed to hear the old man's whisper, 'I knew it, Gamon and Old Maytan are planning something!'

The four Supreme Elders looked and saw Old Maytan. A bead of sweat suddenly came out of their forehead.

A worst-case scenario appeared in their heads and they didn't want to accept it.

'Are we mistaken?'

They rolled their eyes and saw a seemingly teenage boy with long spiky white hair. They could feel that this teenage boy is also a Rank Es Elementalist.

There is this strange thing that got to do with pride. It is the 'I don't want to be wrong in front of the public since I would look stupid, therefore, what I did should be correct!' phenomenon. It has happened to all of us.

With one mistake, our goal has changed and we have to continue. Just making a u-turn on a sidewalk after one had realized that they took the wrong path is harder than it seems. They have to go around a whole four streets just not to look dumb.

Now, what more for people that have an image to protect?

'Cool your head down. There is no mistake, all pieces of evidence are present! There is no way everything that occurred just a coincidence!' the four Supreme Elders were all thinking the same thing.

"Avion, let me ask something, what is happening here?" Old Maytan asked.

Elder Gan: 'See, the Might of Torge is talking to him like equal even though he should be a mortal?... but that would say that Avion is not a Rank Eses and maybe Old Maytan is just being kind...'

"Where? There're so many things that happened earlier that I don't even know where to start." Avion replied.

Elder Shana: 'You don't know? Or you mean that you are just too high and mighty to explain it to a mere Rank Es, right!?'

"Hm... for starters, why are there a choir here?"

"I... have no idea."

"I have" Sheran then butted in, "These kind Supreme Elders have brought them as gifts for me."

"Wait, they're Supreme Elders? You mean they are Rank Es, but why are they kneeling?" Mer made a very exaggerated confused face as if a machine twisted his face, "There's no way that because of Sir Cojier's light and Lord Maytan's earthquake that they thought Avion is someone important? Hahaha, no way, that would be too dumb."

Elder Khor: '... too dumb...'

The beads of sweat were turning into a bucket from how much the Supreme Elders were sweating.

"Then, why are you wearing something like that while being carried?" Old Maytan asked that Avion should be able to answer.

"Ah this... these people thought it would be hilarious to hold a ceremony before I become a martyr, according to them."

Elder Helen: 'Should I kill these people later?'

The soldiers froze as they felt daggers from these Supreme Elders' glares.

At that moment of truth, Elder Khor stood up with a cough, "Ehem! Sorry, but I have to fixed my shoelaces first. Avion Teller, was it? Goodluck on the fight."

Just like that, Elder Khor raised both feet, hiding it behind the long elder robes he wore as he hovered back to his seat.

'This old man fucking escaped!' the three Elders who were left on the ground had baffled faces.

'Wait... isn't that elder have sandals on?' Mettany tilted her head.

Meanwhile, on the way over to the Rank Dih's stadium, Matriarch Quire together with Galion and a few Rank Ey Elders received a message from the Power Circle, coming from Elder Khor.

[Can you bring me some shoes? This is an emergency, Matriarch Quiare. It's a matter of life or death. I swear, I would kill myself if you didn't bring any shoes.]

Matriach Quiare's face twitched, she pointed at one of the Rank Ey Elders behind her, "You, go get some shoes for Supreme Elder Khor."

"Umm... could you repeat that Matriarch Quaire?"

"Go get some shoes for Supreme Elder Khor... now!"

"Y-yes!"
