Sacrifice: Time of Mine

Chapter 119: Finally!!!

"Son, what happened?!" Lady Shamira felt weakness as she immediately dropped onto the ground and hugged Kalin, wanting to comfort him from whatever it was.

Kalin, on the other hand, was like a child, incessantly and silently crying.josei

Numui's eyes were all over the place, looking for some clues but didn't find anything except for the ashes underneath the bed.

'Did Avion Teller do something?!' but he quickly dispersed this thought. If that his thought is true, Avion would be breaking the contract and he would face backlash from it.

By then, Numui would feel it as the other party of the contract.

'Then who!?' he asked with anger in his eyes. They felt that it was at least a Rank Cee Elesp that was cast. Meaning, a Rank Cee Elementalist broke into their home and tried to harm their only son, Kalin!

But his question was soon answered when Kalin replied, sobbing.

"I-I'm sorry... I just want to try casting an elesp for once..."

....

At the same time, a black figure appeared in front of a door. It was obviously Avion in front of his room.

He quietly opened the door. After learning the essence of Footless Travel, he had applied it to other things and practiced.

Although he had already got a result from all his training, he was far from perfect. Maybe that was why he was caught. But there was nothing that he could do.

For now, he should come back to training again.

After entering his room, the lighting stone lit up as if it was automatic. It revealed his scorched black suit, showing his ugly skin.

Kalin was right, he had caught Avion but could this man be truly caught?

While the Young Master was vigilant earlier, Avion had his own difficulty. But he was already seen so he didn't problematize it.

"I just need to be more careful next time." he then changed his clothes.

Those were the moments he missed his usual black and white cloth left from his father to him. Now that his black suit is damaged, he couldn't restore it unlike before he snorted the sand in the hourglass.

After he changed his clothes, he opened the window and vanished, reappearing next on a dark alley outside the walls of the Romen Family. Since it was night, the dark alley was seriously pitch black. The moonlight wasn't helping.

Although it was better for him not to get seen, it was hard for Avion to find his way out.

It was evening but there are still a few people left on the road. Avion was there for one reason and that was to buy food for his training. 

Jamina did say that he should come to her when he needs to eat but it was already night. Why would he wake her up just to cook for him?

"Ah! A monster!" teenagers exploring the night got scared of him the moment he came out of the dark alley.

"Bah!" Avion opened his mouth showing his ragged teeth.

"Kyah!!" a girl shrieked while some escaped. One boy carried the girl that shrieked as they escaped.

"Leave me!"

"No, I will never leave you!"

"You... really? Even if the monster catches up?..."

"Umm..."

"Ah!... Did you just seriously dropped me!? Come back here, I will kill you!"

Since there was a "substitute monster", Avion chose not to chase them, not that he ever planned to. Currently, he was already at a bread shop.

"Lad, isn't it too late to be buying bread?" the shop-owner ironically said before he gave a glance, "Demon!"

"Ah... aren't you that guy in the ninja shop?" Avion raised an eyebrow.

After realizing it was a familiar face, the fat shop-owner sighed in relief, "So it was just the ugly lad."

"Rude"

"So what do you want to buy?" the shop-owner smiled, relaxed towards Avion.

Avion pointed at a lot of different loaves of bread. It filled three whole paper bags. Afterward, he curiously asked;

"Aren't you already working at the ninja shop?"

"What?" the fat shop-owner furrowed his eyebrows, "Ninja shop? Do you mean the assassin merchandise shop?"

Avion nodded.

"Ah, that was nothing. I'm a free worker. I have lots of part-times that does not require much work. Like this bread shop in the night. That assassin shop is just for publicity, the true shop-owner doesn't really expect customers. You're the only one I saw for the past few months."

'So that's why. I thought it was ironic of him to ask why I'm buying when he's selling.' with three paper bags on his arms, Avion couldn't stop time. If he did, the bread inside couldn't move, only the paper bag will be brought to his dimension.

It was a strange thing when if he was on a bed, the whole mattress would become soft if he stopped time.

Coming back to the mansion, he met with difficulty. He realized it was impossible to climb up a wall with his hands full just like what he did to get out.

After thinking for a brief moment, he tossed one paper bag over the wall. If others saw him do this, they would think he's crazy.

But at the next moment, he vanished and appeared on the other side, catching the tossed paper bag. With his control of time, how could he let any bread drop on the ground?

Afterward, he did the same to the other paper bags. In the stoppage of time, he climbed the wall with difficulty. However, over time and practice, he got proficient.

There were injuries somewhere on his body for failing but he didn't revert his body's time. The failure would be wasted. After all, it's the only path to success.

Gon Butcher Guild.

Guild Master Gon was wearing pajamas and was about to sleep when he abruptly paused as his eyes widened.

His body shuddered and his breathing got ragged. He just received a piece of news in the Power Circle.

"A-ah... Is this true?! That Conqueress was spotted by King Rianzares?!" he looked out to the window with great anxiety before he sighed a moment later, "King Rianzares must've seen someone else. If it was really the Conqueress, Haliviana should've been thrown into chaos by now."

Back to the training ground, Avion stopped time.

"I think I can go seven hours straight!" he challenged himself even though he was unsure of the time inside that dimension.

He made a horse stance and trained the basics of combat. After this, he applied them to assassination techniques. He was not after those one-hit-kill techniques, Avion was not fond of killing as he had already experienced death.

So the basics were really helpful.

"Hah!" he punched as he synchronized his breathing. Time passed for him alone until he greatly perspired and his body trembled.

Avion persevered.

He had already felt more pain than this, how could he not endure this? After this, he could rest all he wants.

After some time, he finally began meditating.

He began to think about the matter earlier, about Kalin, and how the information about him was wrong. The Young Master in the morning and in the night, in public and in private seemed like two different people.

Avion then stopped his thoughts as he frowned, "Am I getting sick? I feel a little cold..." that was when he heard a voice;

"I found you... finally.... finally!!"
