Sacrifice: Time of Mine

Gamon opened his eyes and began gasping for air.

Everyone else stood in silence while Avion was raising an eyebrow.

A Rank Es that was gasping for air? How could that happen? They don't even need to breathe at that point!

No, it was not the air that Gamon felt that he was cut-off. He was subconsciously taking in surrounding energy.

'What was that!?' beads of sweat continuously dropped from his nose.

"G-gamon, are you alright?" Sheran showed worry but couldn't. She's like a puppy who was scared of Avion.

But it was as if the world had gone blank, Gamon couldn't hear anything except for the loud buzzing noise in his head.

It took him a good while before he could recover, even with a Rank Ey Plant Element. 

'I was not hurt physically or it wouldn't be a problem at all. What if I got close to that? It's too dense.' there were flames in his eyes, 'I want to see it again!'

'I wonder what he saw?' Avion thought. Different from others, he fully expects that there is something within him. He wouldn't be surprised if the strongest person in Flasse would explode due to what's inside of him.

The Ruler of the Universe as the basis, how could anyone be strong in front of Avion's eyes?

Of course, he is well aware of his current situation. He is just the Son, his perspective is what's strange. In reality, he has no power against either Gamon or Dragonian Sheran.

A day had passed and they have entered the Hewiou Sea, one of the Arcansas' Seven Seas. As expected they still need a few more days before they reached the Reruon Mountain Land where the Crome Family resides.

Even though the Crome Family is a Supreme Royal Family, meaning, having a Rank Es as their head, neither Gamon nor Sheran felt hesitation.

Their ride didn't come to a halt or slowed down even though he only fully recovered at this moment the day after.

But before that, while he rested last night, Dragonian Sheran asked him, "What did you see in him?"

"I don't know what it is." he answered with a straight face. But in his head, he was pondering what it could be.

With multitudes of Mind Elesps with him, Gamon had already found a way to store knowledge with him. A single of his thought is like reading an entire book within the most well-organized largest library in Flasse.

Dragonian Sheran knew this mysterious Mind Elesp and that is why it took her a while to accept it. If even the most knowledgeable Elementalist in the world didn't know it, who else could?

"But I have a few theories."

"Oh... Let me hear about it."

"There is now a lesser chance that his father is the Lord Sorcerer."

Sheran wasn't surprised. It was their suspicion from the very start.

"I think his origin is not just from a different time, but also, a different world."

"..."

"I think he came from the Realm of Highest Existence."

"Realm of Highest Existence?" Sheran, even as a Rank Ey, didn't know what this realm is.

Gamon looked up to the sky and said, "Do you know about the True Gods?" 

"The True Gods... of course, I know about them." the dragon frowned, seeing the connection, "So this Realm of Highest Existence is the world of True Gods and you think that Avion Teller came from there?"

"Yes... I think... it's just a probability."

"Tell me, what did you really see in there?"

Gamon recalled the power within Avion's energy veins. It was small but absolute.

"I first saw an infinite dark space. I doubted if I made a mistake and sent my sense somewhere else, but no, it is his energy vein."

"Infinite? Isn't the size of the energy vein is the talent of the blood? You mean he has the potential to have infinite power? I think that's impossible."

"I think so too. It is either I looked wrong or there is something wrong with him... or he came from a world where we cannot imagine."

Dragonian Sheran sipped in cold air. Upon hearing this, she immediately thought of one person.

'Darea would jump in joy if she learned that there is someone connected to this kind of world. Avion Teller is weak, for now, isn't this...' she continued this thought with her mouth.

"Isn't this the perfect opportunity to take all of his memories?"

But Gamon only gave her a look of disdain, "Use your head, dragon, don't spout nonsense."

Dragonian Sheran was taken aback by this unexpected reaction, 'Did I say something bad?'

Yet, she didn't lash out, but instead, she pondered on it which is an impossibility for a dragon to do - to think what they did was a mistake.

After a moment, her face revealed realization and her body shuddered, "I-I'm sorry for saying stupid." her face then lost its color.

"As long as you understand." Gamon nodded in satisfaction,  "We don't know anything about him. Maybe he is just playing us in his hands. Maybe not... but there is still the possibility. He is too abnormal that it makes sense if he is a higher being deceiving us. If we provoke him, it may be the same as digging our own graves... Maybe, he is listening to this conversation... hayss..."

At present when the sun was rising, Dragonian Sheran looked at the handsome young boy, enjoying the ride on the cloud.

His hands stuck out, feeling the air while his head was peeking at the edge, fearless of the height.

At that moment, the brown-haired girl got closer to him.

"A-avion Teller?"

Avion looked around and saw Tamya moving towards him on four limbs like a scared cat. The cloud they were riding was wide and gigantic. It was fine in the middle but at the edge, they could see how far up they are.

It is obvious that this "noble girl" is afraid of heights.

"You're Miss Tamya, right?"

"Y-you remember me?" Tamya blinked a few times with her sparkling eyes before she fought hard to restrain her smile that she thought would be creepy.

'Damn it, I'm not a slutty girl that feels joy just from being remembered by a handsome man!' she reminded herself, 'But no... there is something strange about him, maybe that is the reason I'm a tiny... bit attracted to him. This is the perfect chance to know why. At the same time, I will get to know the situation.'

"Yes... that's me." Tamya couldn't move closer due to the fear of height, "I just wanted to talk." she femininely sat down as she twirled her hair that was tied in a ponytail.

While she was feeling butterflies in his stomach, there was an old man far behind her feeling shit in his mouth.

'I'm at the bottom of my life and then there's a youthful romance in front of me? This is abuse!' Galion gritted his teeth, 'Wait, don't get distracted... what do I do? Should I risk it and communicate with the Patriarch to give a warning?'
