Sacrifice: Time of Mine

Princess Alisera is the second vessel for Haliviana's ascension to Rank Eses.

Once an Elementalist reached Rank Es, they no longer need to rely on their own bloodline. Their soul is strong enough to directly manipulate the elemental energy from their surrounding.

This is with the help of natal energy.

In theory, natal energy seemed to be the energy of the soul. It flows through the body using blood vessels. It enters the mind and received information like nerves. As it flows through the body, it passes this information, making the energy within the body move.

One could say that natal energy is the medium to control the elemental energy in the body.

That is why when a Rank Ey Elementalist had enough natal energy through practicing manual conversion, it could be strong enough to directly control the outer world.

That is the essence of being a Rank Es in theory.

Now, for Rank Eses, it is making energy out of nothing. However, is it really from nothing?

Even without hard pieces of evidence, just by logic, something couldn't be created from nothing. If so, then being a Rank Eses Elementalist is equal to being an Elemental Immortal or an Elemental God.

If Flasse, the world was actually once a being that became a Rank Eses Elementalist, then that explains why only it has life within.

The cycle of life and death within is the motor of energy.

Although this idea is going too far-fetched, Galion's thoughts had come that far and even suspected that God Centre may have already been a Rank Eses secretly.

Going back, since it's impossible to create something from nothing, there should be another source.

Galion had a thought, bloodline!

Why did Haliviana or Arcansas try to ascend in secret? Maybe it's because they don't want others to know? That is obvious.

Hiding it even from their own family... Meaning, their family is going to be greatly affected by this ascension!

This trail of thought continued in Galion's head for the last century while he study his Queen Arcansas' cocoon.

To this, it needed the blood of their own family. Being a Rank Es means not relying on one's blood anymore but being a Rank Eses has enough natal energy to spread and affect the blood of others.

But this is a wall Galion was stuck on for the majority of his research.

So what if they can affect the blood of others? Blood becomes useless when one becomes a Rank Es Elementalist, right?

After decades of thinking, Galion thought outside the box. What if blood is not really useless when one became Rank Es? It's just not enough to contain the power of a Rank Es Elementalist?

So what if the Rank Es Elementalist modifies their own blood, for example, make it into blood energy and make it enter another family member?

Like a lightning bolt that struck Galion, he finally realized why both Haliviana or Arcansas made their ascension a secret. It's because it would need to sacrifice many of their family members.

This is a great sin!

In Galion's thoughts, this process will become a trial and error for the ascending Rank Eses. Meaning, they will choose a talented youth and see if this youth could handle their immense blood energy.

If that goes on, will there be a next generation? Youths will be the future pillar of a community, moreover, their family!

Maybe Arcansas and Haliviana both knew that the chances are low so they kept it a secret. If they failed, not only will they die, even the future of their family will become non-existent. The long history that their ancestors built will be gone because of one person!

Is this their intention?

Galion didn't just think aimlessly. He has proof and that is the unnatural deaths of their youths. This is the sign of Arcansas trying to find a suitable vessel.

However, in the country of Haliviana, why are there no cases of unnatural deaths?

To this, Galion researched and also found the "truth" He had researched and pondered for over a century. If he did not come up with anything that is somewhat close to the truth, even a child could be said to be smarter than him!

Since Haliviana is the senior of Arcansas and chose to live on the small island, she may know more than the continent overlord. Meaning, she may have a better method than Arcansas' trial and error.

This only has one answer...

The King of Karan would flip the whole kingdom for his daughter. Why is his daughter so special?

Hehehe...

Galion found the answer!

Although Haliviana's method is a little bit hazy since Galio is taking reference from his queen, it is no doubt that Haliviana's true weakness is Princess Alisera.

Galion didn't know what would happen if Haliviana were to succeed. He could only guess that Haliviana's soul will forcefully enter Princess Alisera's body. This will happen once her blood is successfully empowered by the immense blood energy condensed from Halivianas's natal energy!

However, just killing Princess Alisera will not solve the problem. Haliviana may wake up and with her power that may even be more powerful than Arcansas, who could stand on her way?

She can just repeat what she did after killing Galion who researched her weakness. That would be a very bad thing. Because their Queen Arcansas is still in her weakest state!

To ensure her safety, Haliviana will surely remove her future rival.

If Queen Arcansas dies, how could the Crome Family with no talented youths survive in the future?

Galion has to permanently stop Haliviana!

And in his theory, he has found the perfect timing to kill her. That is when it's finally time for Haliviana's soul to force its way into Alisera's body.

Just a soul, it would be weaker than a commoner.

However, it is still spectral and formless. Untouchable by physical methods. How could Galion deter it?

There is a way, he didn't forget it. The Immoral Family in Rianzares Kingdom.

It seemed like they have already realized this earlier than Galio. They already have a plan. When the Vario Family emerged back then, some of the nobles evacuated to Trading-Hills Capital. The place on top of where Haliviana sleeps.

Using their "immoral" methods, they have created a counter against Haliviana. Turning her own bloodline against her.
