Sacrifice: Time of Mine

Chapter 126: Avion's Advantage over the Conqueress!

After staring at the sky, Avion finally realized that he was in a daze. He then sighed as he closed his eyes.

How many times had seen this spectacle while wonders are going through his head?

At those times, he was alone atop a mountain or beside a sparkling lake. He would look up and be in a daze for a very long time.

Not worrying about anything. Not worrying about time.

He just sat there and let the starlight accompany him. But it was one of the times that he feels very lonely. There was no one with whom he could share what he was feeling.

Avion would whistle, adding noise in the silent night. To forget reality and to forget that he was alone...

This time, he did not feel like whistling.

He then stood up. At the same time, Darea immediately closed her eyes and "looked" up.

"I returned time without realizing it." Avion lightly smiled at this.

Darea followed and stood up as well.josei

"That's it for now. I will tell you the rest later on if I'm in the mood."

It was not a matter of time, after all.

"I've only told you a very little fraction of history so I hope you have the patience to hear it."

Darea slowly nodded. Somehow, she felt agitated. She felt like she couldn't wait for that next time.

However, she could only go with what Avion said.

"But I want to hear your plan."

Darea knew what Avion was talking about. He was talking about them, staying together. It doesn't literally mean that they will stay under the same roof.

Also, Avion's set-up was that he doesn't want his "true identity" to be revealed. So Darea couldn't just go and show herself to others. She is quite aware that she is very well-known.

If she goes back to her continent when Avion's "meditation session" began, she would've to travel back again which is a great hassle.

In no time, she responded with action. Her body slowly faded.

Avion was surprised but he had kept in his mind that he should be calm at all times. So, on the surface, he was indifferent to this.

"Immaterial Body" Darea muttered to herself.

"Immaterial Body..." Avion repeated in a quiet voice. It was very easy to understand why it is called this way,

Hearing this, Darea frowned and talked to herself, "Hm? He knows it?" before Avion could reply, she continued upon realization, "Or can he see me in this form?!"

'Hm?' Avion could guess what was happening from her words.

"Sir Teller, you can see me?" Darea stopped talking to herself.

"This is a good tactic. However, are you aware of who can see you?" Avion ad-libbed.

No matter how long he meditates and tries to predict multiple situations and routes, he was not all-knowing

"He is really a mysterious person... I never thought that anyone can see through my Immaterial Body. He really must be a True God and not a mere Rank Eses Elementalist. Furthermore, he came from a different era so he shouldn't be an Elementalist."

Darea thought but didn't know that Avion could hear them.

'She's talking to herself...' Avion found this odd thing but didn't mention it. But the strangest thing was that when Darea talks to herself, her mouth was not moving. But when she talked to him earlier, her mouth would move.

Avion guessed what was happening but he continued to listen. Good thing that he kept a calm expression. If Darea noticed his reaction, she would've known.

If his guess was right and Darea didn't notice it until the end, it would be his advantage over her!

It was just quick thoughts and Darea soon answered and her mouth moved this time, "Only Sir Teller is special. Even though I only have Rank Bih Soul Element, I have a high mastery in Bookmaking, and coupled with my Rank Es Energy Element, I created a Rank Es Elesp called Immaterial Body." she didn't explain more but her thoughts did.

"I actually worked hard to create this Elesp. If only I have a high Rank in Soul Element then it would've been easy. I have to use an alternative and use Energy as a supplement to extract my Soul and turn my body into immaterial. But it is worth it, I can actually deceive God Centre back then in battle, although it was not that helpful... but Sir Teller is really different. He's so great!"

It was quick. If she were to say it properly without Immaterial Body, she would be the fastest rapper ever.

However, Avion actually understood it. It was as if Darea's thoughts were his too.

"Then I don't have to worry anything then." 

"Yes, I am confident that no other person can see or sense me." Darea said but it continued in her thoughts that appeared in Avion's head;

"In this way, I can stalk him as much as I like. I will eventually understand his power and learn from it! I just hope that he does not mind me being around 24/7."

Avion's happiness faded.

He was happy because he finally has an advantage over Darea. Since nobody can see and hear her until now, how could she know that her thoughts could be heard clearly in that form if Avion chose to be silent?

Avion's powers don't work on Darea so maybe her power does not work on him too? It is highly plausible.

However, that happiness soon vanished when he learned about her plan. Being stalked by such beauty, no man would ever hate that. Except if it concerned their life and death.

Even though it is possible that Darea's power may not work on him, it is only a possibility.

Avion does not have the luxury to risk and experiment on it. Just one failure may lead to that unending loop of death!

Still...

'Since she will stay in that form all the time, I will be able to know her thoughts. From now on, I can know if she's suspicious or not and if she plots something! It is better than going blind as before!'
