Chapter 150: Avion's Mission

Darea looked at Avion with a frown as she released her Immaterial Body.

"Don't forget that you have an important matter to do."

"Y-yeah..." Avion quickly swept away that thought.

Looking at his ecstatic face, Darea was a little annoyed, "If you have time to play with women, you should've time to train!"

"But I just finished though?" Avion wanted to complain but couldn't much. Ever since Darea and he got an oath, he could no longer slack off. The mental stress was not getting released so he was being trained to his core.

Discipline!

Avion was finally practicing true discipline!

"Don't but me, you are still far from battling Rank Bih head to head! What if something unexpected happened during the assassination? Don't rely on me, I'm your master, not your helper!"

"Yes!"

"And we really don't have much time." Darea frowned at this. After learning the truth, she didn't expect that something this big was actually happening on this small island. 

And more importantly, 'Arcansas is not actually dead?!' she felt a shiver creeping up to her.

'Is that why this continent is still named after her? Is it intentional? That Lord Sorcerer didn't give this continent a name to make it his since he does not have such ambition, but instead, he knew that he was still not the strongest here?'

"Rank Eses..." Darea didn't feel fear, but instead, she felt excitement. Through the story that she learned from this Galion Romen, she finally learned how to ascend Rank Eses!

This is her greatest gain before Avion.

The first is to have descendent!

Darea "glanced" at Avion even though her eyes were closed. Soon, she shook her head.

'This is a problem. I want my man as the second strongest after I become the strongest of everything. However, it turns out, I needed a man first to become the strongest of everything.' she "glanced" at Avion again and repeated what she did by shaking her head.

'What is she thinking about?' Avion stopped time since he will train again.

After a while did only Darea spoke, "Don't think that time is on our side. So you have to be the strongest... before me, that is an order!"

"Hm? What do you mean?" Avion asked. He was talking about the concern of time but Darea misunderstood it as her thoughts being read.

Feeling caught red-handed, Darea growled, "Start training now!"

"Yes, ma'am!" Avion ran onto his usual training ground while Darea followed instantly while explaining, wanting to change the topic;

"Now that I am aware of it, I could now feel the strong natural energy in this place. It's the same as Mt. Hamis so I didn't think much of it. However, it was still growing stronger, at this rate, it will reach past what a Rank Es could handle. I think that is the time when Haliviana uses this natural energy to refine Rank Eses blood energy and exponentially increase the princess's talent and potential."

Avion nodded, he didn't know that Darea's intention was to change the topic instead of answering his question. However, she was not in her Immaterial Body so he couldn't hear her thoughts.

Hearing this, Avion could guess piece by piece the history books he had read about the Elemental Era.

It was very confusing for Avion.

The history books that he had read, it was concise but they do not detail the actual events since only a few books cover the whole long era.

Meaning, only the most important events should be placed there. So, why were the events in Haliviana included?

Is it only because Prince Harold, the only Rank Eses Elementalist in the Elemental Era was recruited by Dragonian Sheran here?

It is important but not that important. Prince Harold's journey to becoming Rank Eses should be more important. Even Darea, the most important factor in the era has no biography but Prince Harold's origin was told?

Why?

Avion could make an educated guess now. It must be because the reason for Prince Harold getting immense talent is the biggest turning point.

It was not said how Prince Harold got his power. It only said that his latent potential was released when Princess Alisera died. But... is there something really so convenient?

'So that Prince Harold is not actually a hero? But was it planned? What killed Princess Alisera then? Is she killed by Haliviana's blood energy and possession or is she killed by something else?'

'It shouldn't be Dragonian Sheran or any of the Sovereign Heroes because if they are the cause, why would Prince Harold team up with the people who he should focus his grudges on instead?'

'Then maybe, it is Darea who will kill her upon learning that Haliviana was about to succeed? Then Prince Harold sought revenge, that is why he joined them.'

In actuality, Avion didn't really care. However, he needs to learn about this. Because, why did Dragonian Sheran destroyed the guild?

For the simple reason of, she was dissatisfied by their power?

The history books that Avion had read shouldn't be wrong, at least, he had full trust in them as if he was the one who wrote them.

Amidst Avion's thinking, Darea continued, "We cannot let anyone other than me reach Rank Eses first. Avion, you will put your everything on this. If I show up and use my power, I can no longer hide my aura and Haliviana will detect me. I can defeat her but if the matter of me being here will spread throughout the continent, the Crome Family will learn of it for sure."

"And if they know?" Avion sweated as he slowly bent his one knee while the other leg is raised. It was as if he was kicking in slow-motion. However, his moves were smooth even though he was in a difficult position.

"They will definitely protect or hidetheir queen from me. I am confident but I am not omnipotent. They have at least two or three Rank Es Elementalist there. Even if I can defeat them, I am not sure if I can find Arcansas's cocoon if they gave their all to hide her."

Avion nodded again and as he reached the end of his movement, his body jerked, and Pak!* like a whip, his kick hit the air. Along with his breathing, he slowly returned to his original position.

"So your mission is to do everything on your own." Darea smiled, "Kill the Rank Bih Kings and also, kill Haliviana."

Avion heard the impossible but didn't retort.
