Sacrifice: Time of Mine

Chapter 288: Arcansas's Ascension

The reason why Old Maytan had to put Alisera in his Separate World was to cut off her connection towards Haliviana's core.

However, it was now too late since she had given not enough for Haliviana but enough for Arcansas to absorb.

"So that was not a bluff!" Gamon had an ugly expression on him.

The large glass tube that was filled with lava began emitting heavy energy that even Rank Es Elementalist felt hard to breathe within.

The heat spread that defeated what Matriarch Quiare emitted earlier.

With that said, almost everyone knew what happened.

'An aura that can even make Rank Es Elementalists feel pressure?'

Upon realization, the family members of the Crome Family were overjoyed.

Instantly, the Matriarch along with the other Supreme Elders of the Crome Family cried in joy as they removed all the activated elesps or elesks within them so that they could kneel.

Arcansas container was just a container. It wasn't built to contain her. Therefore, when it first cracked, it shattered into pieces in the next second.

A pillar of fire rose to the sky, illuminating the whole city. The unfortunate ones who were too close were burned, either their skin or the weaker ones to death.

Meanwhile, this much could only pressure the Rank Es Elementalist while Sheran was practically immune to fire.

But that already meant as much since this was only the natural aura from Arcansas. What more when she gain consciousness and learned of the situation?

At that conclusion, the Wrenwor Patriarch shouted, "Attack while she is at her weakest!"

"DON'T YOU DARE!!!" Matriarch Quiare was filled with rage, "Why can't you just understand that submitting is your best chance of survival!"

Upon hearing this, some of the Rank Es Elementalist hesitated.

"Do you know how powerful a Rank Eses is? What if all your effort is just a scratch to our queen?"

One then rebuked out of pressure, "You're just saying that because you're afraid that we will become successful! Come on! We have to use force and stop Arcansas's ascension!"

They were ready to act but Matriarch Quiare responded again that caught their attention.

"Yes, I may not sure about that, however, why do you think the ascension from Rank Es to Rank Eses is so tedious?! Do you think our Queen, who is one the Overlord of this continent, is dumb enough to take a huge risk with little reward!?"

The other Rank Es Elementalists were silent. They were placed between a rock and a hard place. If only they knew that Arcansas would ascend at that very moment, they wouldn't act rashly but try to act friendly as well.

'Is it too late to surrender?'

Many of them asked themselves. But it was Gamon who broke that train of thoughts.

"If they don't know how to properly breakthrough Rank Es, of course, how can they know that the gap would be that big!?  Use your brains! She is just stalling for time, she is desperate! Furthermore, you have already invaded Arcansas's territory, attack now!"

The last string of hesitation was cut off as almost all of the Rank Elementalists used all their offensive elesps against the pillar of flame.

"NOO!!!" Matriarch Quaire hysterically screamed. She turned into her phoenix form again and her other two Supreme Elders followed.

Originally, there were five Rank Es Elementalists in the Crome Family. However, the other two were out to do their own jobs. Contacting them now has no hope.

They, unfortunately, don't have an emergency teleportation elesp or elesp tool.

That is why against the other three heads with their three Supreme Elders, they were doubly outnumbered.

Their only hope was for Arcansas to awaken.

With the Rank Es Elementalists from other families had their attention into attacking the pillar of flame, the Crome's disadvantage slightly vanished.

Near the pillar of flame, Gamon contributed the most damage while Old Maytan doesn't have any energy left so he chose to meditate and refill it as soon as possible.

All his si-is, or compound essence, were all used during his battle against the whole country of Manuio Isle.

With his unique and evolved element, World Element, it is harder to obtain a fitting si-i for him which even Gamon doesn't hold.

As for the damage they were doing towards the pillar of flame... Rank Es Elementalists couldn't be underestimated.

"No-no-no-no!" Matriarch Quiare felt desperation since she saw that the pillar of flame was getting thinner and thinner the more it was attacked.

Each Rank Es Elesp was enough to shake the whole territory of the Crome Family. All of those power were directed towards one target. If that pillar of flame wasn't affected by these enormous and powerful attacks then nothing will.

The pillar of flame continues to dwindle which raised the morale of the opposing Rank Es Elementalists.

Gamon almost exhausted his energy but he had a lot of backup energy to refill him fully. Although the effect wasn't as direct, it was enough to slowly sustain his attacks.

Eventually, Matriarch Quiare and her two Supreme Elders felt hopeless as the pillar of flame was now only as thick as an average tree. As it stretched towards the sky, from far away, it only looked like a single string connecting heaven and earth.

"Just a little more!"  the Sharya Patriarch released an engulfing vortex of water, similar to a tornado, towards the flame. Its size could be compared to a whole branch of a deep river.

As it turned into something sharp, it reached the pillar of flame. When all expected it to fully extinguish the flame, Gamon and Old Maytan, on the other hand, had darkened expressions.

Instead of piercing the flame as many expect, the sharp streaming river suddenly changed direction... as if it was deflected.

"Huh?" the Sharya Patriarch was stunned as to how easy it was for him to lose control of his Elesp which he never experienced as a Rank Es Elementalist.

He only experienced this feeling of losing control once when he was still a Rank Ey which his attack was deflected by a Rank Es.

Only a higher ranking Elementalist could do such a thing...

Before anybody could react, the string of placed suddenly contracted. No, it didn't fully implode, but smoothly formed a shape of a woman. Although the fire didn't diminished and there were incomplete facial features, almost everyone who had met her before knew who she was.

"My Queen!" everyone in the Crome Family kneeled.
