Sacrifice: Time of Mine

Chapter 225: The Tenth General of Mt. Hamis, Jamina

Gamon felt lost and defeated. On top of that, the dragon lady had been acting strange. Therefore, he had no position and could only become passive.

On the rest of the ride, he had nothing to do but looked at everyone's potential and see if they can use the Blood Evolver which was his original intention.

Days Earlier.

In Mt. Hamis...

The remaining three Generals of the Darea Kingdom were about to celebrate. They were constantly receiving news that the other generals were dominating their conquest of the Centre Continent.

But they still have their jobs to do. With the Conqueress and six Generals out, many tried to overthrow or just take revenge before any of them comes back.

Of course, this didn't impede their mood for celebration as those who wanted to get revenge forgot how terrifying these Generals were.

However, before they even plan to properly party, Darea Irdona showed up.

"Conqueress...!" the three Generals immediately attended her, "Welcome back."

"Shut up."

Just those two words immediately made the Generals want to jump out of fright. This was too unusual.

'The Conqueress is in a bad mood?' the First General. Hanmer, a giant man with one eye, an entity that can be called a "cyclops" thought. But this cyclops looked slender and gentlemanly instead.

This is more unusual than her being angry. The only weird about her anger last time was that they don't know what made her angry. But she was always rampaging whenever her mood was bad.

So now, why is she a little bit quiet? The Conqueress is not angry, but rather... she's sad...?

Realizing this, the three Generals became enraged within, 'Who made our Conqueress sad!? We will skin them alive and make a hell specifically for them!'

As the most dauntless of the Generals, Hanmer asked, "Conqueress, is there anything wrong?"

"Nothing... also, I'd like to introduce to you, I've brought a new General, her name is Jamina."

'What, a new General?! Whoever this is, we will let them speak until their lungs out!! RAAA!!'

'Who is this new General!?' the other two Generals anticipated with ferocious faces.

"M-me? A General?" a girl then came out of the Conqueress back, shy and embarrassed. She wore a typical maid outfit and had long black silky hair. Her face has a tinge of worry as she clung to the Conqueress's back.

'So she's the new General!' the three Generals were all shock, 'Looks like we have to spoil her until she talks! RAAA!!'

The second General, a Hydra in a human form, Hearoid asked, "Conqueress, which position does the Tenth General have?"

"Hm? You're more accepting this time? Before, you three want to put new ones in a trial. Don't you want to try her?" Darea walked past them as she finally sat back on her throne.

"M-mistress, I can't..." Jamina was flustered. These three looked so strong, how can she overcome any trial they give her?

"...." the Generals looked at each other. Indeed, they don't feel anything from her. It is either she is a mortal or she can hide her energy from them.

If it is the latter, she should be stronger than the Conqueress then! Even Darea couldn't completely hide her aura from these Apexial Beasts even though she is already a Rank Es Energy Elementalist.

So it shouldn't be the latter!

But even Hanmer did not have the guts to go against the Conqueress's words.

"No, you need to take their trial. I'm sure you can do it." Darea pressured.

Hearing the roars and blade cries from the beast's army behind her, Jamina couldn't help but cry, "I... I'm not an Elementalist, Mistress..."

"I... I think she passes, Conqueress." the Third General, a literal giant bird with armor, Sinmei timidly spoke.

"Huh?" Darea frowned back.

"Sh-she failed...?" Sinmei's beak dropped down. She suddenly regretted talking.

"No, she will take the trial whether you like it or not." Darea strongly said without anyone having the chance to retaliate.

"....." the throne room became silent.

"I have never said our Tenth General's position yet but the three of you are already against it. Our Tenth General, Jamina, is the General of the kitchen. Her trial is to satisfy everyone in this room this dinner." Darea then waved her hand, "Show her the kitchen."

"Conqueress..." the three, no, the four Generals' eyes sparkled, "We'll show her!"

"Well, except for Sinmei. She will be here, guarding and reporting to me where the others are."

The bird wanted to drop onto the ground but could only answer, "Yes, Great Ruler..."

'Don't worry, Sinmei, we will take care of this Tenth General and make her feel home.' Hanmer felt determination inside of him.

Meanwhile, Hearoid wanted to tear up, 'It is not that I hate war and blood but having someone innocent here is really refreshing. She's like an adopted daughter! I'm sure the other Generals will be happy when they heard about this.'

....

"Flasse, do you know that there is something happening in your world?"

"No, Your Highest Holiness, please enlighten me."

"I know that you are busy trying to ascend and attain your Godhood but you have to look out for your own world too. Someone threatening must be hiding in your world."

"Someone threatening, Your Highest Holiness?"

"Yes, there had been many entities who have been threatening the Heaven. But this one is particularly dangerous for he controls time. Goddess Shiena had foretold us that this man had become the Ruler of the Universe already."

"Wha... sorry for my rudeness but... how?"

"I don't know. After that damned Elihim appeared, the Interworldly Paths began appearing and entities from another dimension started showing up! Ehem! Parallels have long been connected, Flasse. Due to this, we also opened up the ability to see the possible future using Divine Oracle. In one of the parallel... Theumos Teller had killed all of us and become the One True God, the Ruler of the Universe."

"That's..."josei

"But you shouldn't worry that much. That will only happen countless years in the future."
