Sacrifice: Time of Mine

Chapter 118: "Zzzz..."

In Kalin's room, it was dark except for the dim light from a small lighting stone in his desk.

Underneath the lamp-like stand, there was a book.

Before writing on it, a mystical light came out of Kalin's body and spread throughout his body. At once, he became sober. His face reverted back to its original color.

After looking around once again, Kalin finally wrote as he spoke

"Dear Diary," his voice was weak and solemn, "Today is the 16th day of Summer."

He breathed deeply before continuing, "Nothing changed that much ever since I got Toltu's Pearl from the Lesan Family. There's not much clue about the Breathing Fire."

"I hope Jiji will come back soon to guide me again."

Kalin then frowned and paused for a long while before he continued.

"I don't know if this has to do anything with the materials but I've been seeing things. I feel like there are eyes that are following me."

"Are they finally having suspicions about me? Is it the Lesan Family?"josei

"It shouldn't be the Anzteran or Aranre family. If it is either of them, they should've acted a long time ago ever since I ruined the twin's name."

"It shouldn't be the Ember Mind that's been affecting me either. It's the second material I got two years ago, it should've affected me since."

"I think it is someone from the Lesan Family. Although they don't know that their ancestor's memento is Toltu's Pearl, Memi treasures it since her father gave it to her before he passed away."

"If it is also not them, is someone beginning to suspect me already? Although I've been keeping this act since I'm a child, even if they're curious, what do they get? Or... have they learned about the importance of the materials I've been collecting?"

"This is bad for Jiji and the Romen Family! I should be more careful. I think it's because I'm getting lax and confident in my act. Maybe I'm acting too much? I should show some improvement."

"But if I make a mistake and seem like I've changed, I can't act stupid again! If I found the Breathing Fire and becomes desperate to get it, how will I explain myself? Should I act dumb again? But a pattern will definitely show up!"

At that moment, Kalin sighed, and seeing that the page was about to fill up, he ended it.

"I will put up my guard from now on."

He then closed the book and placed it in the drawer.

Kalin stretched and dropped onto the bed. Since it was late at night, he was tired and easily fell asleep, snoring.

Zzzz....

After a while, a black figure came out of the upper corner of the room. The figure blended with the shadow so well. It seemed like the shadow itself became a person.

The black figure dropped onto the ground. The next moment, the figure appeared in front of the desk Kalin used earlier.

But before the figure opened the drawer, he looked back to confirm that Kalin was asleep. But the figure was still hearing the Young Master's snoring so he should still be asleep-

"Zzz..."

"Ah..." the black figure made eye contact as he reacted, subtly startled.

The sleeping Young Master was actually sitting up, looking at the figure in front of him with wide eyes and a still body. Kalin was still faking his snoring, "Zzzz..."

It was a bit creepy to look at in the dark.

Now that the black figure saw him, Kalin asked while a formless book came out of his body.

"Who are..." his eyes widened. He hasn't started his sentence but the figure had already disappeared. He was just late to react because it was so sudden.

The composed Kalin suddenly broke out in cold sweat.

"No, that person should still be here!" he knew it since he hadn't felt an aura of an elesp, and both the windows and door were locked. There was nowhere to escape.

"But how?" he tightened his brows and he slowly stood up.

The formless book dispersed and an invisible coat covered him. The light around him wavered, it was like he was dispensing great heat.

"Who are you?" he stood up, cautiously looking around. He could feel it.

On the upper corner!

Swish* a fire bullet came out when Kalin abruptly flicked his finger. The fire bullet fast as it left a string of light. In a blink of an eye, it reached the upper corner of the room, making the darkness vanish before the fire extinguished itself.

If others saw this they will be shocked. Greatly shocked.

Kalin, without delay, cast ab elesp with great control and accuracy, He could be called a Master!

But for him, it was nothing as if he just waved his sleeve... 

Behind him!

Kalin turned around as if he wants to surprise someone. But there's no one there.

He casually raised his hand and all lighting stones lit up, making the darkroom, bright as day.

The Young Master's eyes were rapidly looking around without rest. This continued for a while. The scene was still quiet as ever.

"Maybe Clear Mind Elesp didn't work that well and I'm still... drunk!" at the end of his sentence, he jerked, a great flame came out of his palm and went underneath his bed.

The fire blazed wildly, burning the wooden floor and turning the bed clothing that was caught into ashes.

It vanished quickly as it arrived!

That fire was like a hallucination, however, the destruction it caused was evident under the lighting stones.

If Master Yown saw this, he would accept that he is inferior to this great mastery. Although the fire caught the bed clothing, that was it. It did not spread. Meaning, there's enough control for it not to spread but at the same time, create a devastating effect on its target!

"I hit it!" Kalin's eyes shone as he looked underneath his bed only to be disappointed and confused.

At that moment, footsteps could be heard from outside. It was hurried and heavy.

Kalin's eyes became fierce.

Bang* the door was forcefully opened. A wooden door has no chance against the strength of a peak Rank Cee Elementalist.

"Kalin, we felt an aura of an Elesp here!" Numui shouted not with anger but with worry.

Never he would think that Kalin cast an elesp, or if he could in the first place. But if it wasn't Kalin, then who is there with their son!?

Lady Shamira was with her husband. At that moment, they saw Kalin near the bed, crying.
