Chapter 199: Whose Side Are You?

The ride was smooth. The Igelios was under Avion's full control. It seemed like the king was too afraid that he would retaliate and kill the princess if the beast would resist.

The king has yet to know Avion's character so he lost.

'Should I go down and kill him?' Avion thought but soon, shook his head, 'There's something wrong with Mettany. Also, I don't know when Haliviana's soul will fuse with Alisera so it's better to be sooner than later.'

He hoped to see Galion and Kalin on the Trading-Hills Capital. However, what he there stupefied him.

"What's that giant thing...?" Avion sweated.

"It's a dragon." Darea answered, seemingly in her bitter mood. If she opened her eyes, they would always be glancing at how Avion hugged the princess from behind. She knew that this is necessary but there was something she does not understand. And she hated it.

"A dragon!?" Avion's jaw dropped. He knew what a dragon looks like. However, this is the first time that he had seen one. And what is the probability of a legendary dragon appearing in Haliviana where there are originally just four Rank Bih Elementalists?

Thus, that's why it was easier to understand if that purple-red giant is just a statue that came out of nowhere.

"Avion, good luck. Don't turn back, they have already set their eyes on you. Just be calm and do as I say."

Hearing Darea's solemn voice, Avion nodded, "Okay"

He then caught Alisera peeking at him.

"Avion, you're turning crazy that's why you're doing this, right?" Alisera said, naturally with puppy watery eyes, "P-papa has some mind elesps and they can fix you."

'Is she lying to me or does she thinks that we can solve this by shaking hands?' Avion frowned and did not reply to her suggestion, "Lay low, there are dangerous people to where we will land."

Shuddering, Alisera nodded.

Avion sighed at this sight. He was getting conflicting feelings. However, as Darea said, there's no turning back now.

"Greet them politely and name yourself with full honesty. Gamon is there. He is very good at detecting lies." Darea ordered.

Hearing that, Avion's heart skipped a beat, 'That Penta Elementalist!? You mean that dragon is Dragonian Sheran!? Won't they only arrive here ten years later!?' he inwardly panicked.

Soon he saw spectral arms wrapped around his neck.

"Calm down, Avion, you are not guilty of anything. In fact, you're on the good side, only using brutal methods. One last thing..." she whispered as Avion listened attentively, "that Mettany is already being judged. By going against her, it will prove what side are you really on."

"Eh...?" Avion didn't have time to react as the Igelios fearfully softly landed. If not for Avion's full control, it would've flown in the opposite direction as fast as it can.

"Who are you?" Gamon asked, wondering what's a Rank Bih Life Elementalist doing in a place like this.

"Let's get down, princess." Avion was the first to get down.

With their sharpened senses, these Rank Es Elementalists were able to hear his whisper and created many situations in their heads.

'A princess, huh... That one is a mortal, he's handsome as well. Her personal servant?' that was the general thought.

Pulling the frightened princess, Avion glanced at Mettany who was laying on the ground, being healed by one of the people behind these Rank Es.

"H-hello, my name is Avion Teller and this is the Princess of the Karan Kingdom, Alisera Karan." Avion bowed which Alisera followed.

'They are not simple master-and-servant.' Gamon scrutinized every detail, wondering how this little island got a Life Elementalist, Rank Bih on top of that.

"What happened here?" Old Maytan asked.

"Stay calm, don't show nervousness. Don't also stop time. They would be able to detect the small change in your position and will be very wary." Darea advised on the side.

To this, Avion explained everything. From how Galion saw Haliviana and how they wanted to act to stop it. However, he didn't include the part where he himself acted. He didn't lie, he just hid it.

Darea inwardly commended Avion's decisiveness.

"So that happened. Rank Eses..." even as Rank Es legendary figures, written on epic tales and is part of the history of Arcansas, they were still dumbfounded by this information.

Haliviana could only think and sense presences. She would needed to exert a huge amount of energy to patrol her elemental senses out and use her "voice", or else, she would've found out Galion's plan and Avion's act a long time ago.

Only when there's a problem could she expend tons of energy. That is why, right now, she did not know that her secrets have already been unfolded to these Rank Es Elementalists.

"Cough-cough!" the silence was broken when Mettany finally woke up.

"She survived." the Rank Ey Plant Elementalist under Gamon sighed in relief. If Gamon himself were to do it, it wouldn't take this long, however, it was as if he was confident that Mettany wouldn't die, he let his disciples take care of her.

"Before we think about this Haliviana who is about to ascend to Rank Eses, let's look about this little girl and where she came from." the dragon turned into a woman whose beauty was on par with Alisera. The transformation was so smooth that the dragon disappeared and she appeared.

'So this is Dragonian Sheran...' Avion sweated but didn't use Revert, 'She's the one who is tyrannical enough to destroy the guild in one hit.'

'But more importantly...' Avion then looked at Mettany who had fear on her face, different from before, 'Did she come back to normal?'

Mettany looked around and when she saw Avion, she immediately shouted, "Avion!" she cried as she went straight to him with her arms open.

"Everyone is looking. Now, reject her call." Darea heavily said.

Avion then released Alisera's hand. Not that he can stop her if she wanted to escape.

At the next moment, Darae's mood instantly plummeted. Dragonian Sheran was ready to pounce as it was easy to tell who the enemies are.

Meanwhile, Old Maytan and Gamon looked at each other with confusion.

This is because Avion opened his arms and received Mettany. He then began consoling her.
