Chapter 262: Life and Death for the Supreme Elders II

With Elder Khor finding a way out at a price for shoes, three Supreme Elders were left, kneeling in front of Avion.

Elder Gan gritted his teeth, 'Damnit! Why didn't I wear shoes this morning!? If I ever see my past self, I will give him a smacking!'

Elder Shana: 'If I'm correct, other heads of the four families are already on their way. I can't just say that oops, that was a mistake, you guys, now come back later to retrieve my body after I kill myself from shame.'

Meanwhile others were still looking at Elder Khor, wondering if he really does have a shoe as they saw that he was wearing a sandal. However, they couldn't be sure since no one there focused on someone's feet when looking at someone.

At that moment, Elder Helen suddenly raised both hands, taking everyone's attention, before she moved forward, rolling and making a somersault before standing up.

An old woman just somersaulted out of nowhere, making sand go up. But to her credit, it was a flawless somersault.

She then said, while twirling her hair like an anime girl with withered flowers suddenly coming out in the pink background, "I've... I've always wanted to do that." before making her escape.

Sheran: 'She somersaulted...'

Old Maytan: 'She somersaulted...'

Tamya: 'She somersaulted...'

Avion: 'She somersaulted...'

Everyone else: 'She somersaulted...'

"You... somersaulted..." Edler Khor whispered.

"I know." Elder Helen replied as if she had done nothing wrong.

The two elders; Elder Shana and Elder Gan have their jaws dropped with terrified faces. They knew what had just transpired!

'She somersaulted out to safety...' Edler Gan felt conflicted. Should he feel dumbfounded or amazed?

'Helen! Is it because you're in too much pressure that you relied on that move again!? The move of acting all cutesy!? You're already an old woman whose beauty is lost in the track of time!' Elder Shana thought, 'Because of your beauty before that only Princess Dana could defeat, you always rely on acting all cutesy to get something you want. I see that you still haven't remove that old old habit of yours...'

Thanks for the convenient explanation.

Everyone watched in silence.

'What are they going to do next?' they all thought. Even the Crown Princes and Princesses were included in sharing of this thought.

'I have to think of something next, or else, others will arrive!' Elder Shana then looked at Elder Gan, 'If I'm able to get out of here, all the attention will be brought to Elder Gan! We all know that this old man is very stubborn and will likely to stay like this for a long while. Meaning, I have-'

While Elder Shana was thinking, Elder Gan moved, however, he didn't stand up.

'You almost killed me!' she inwardly roared.

'What do I do? Can I twist myself out of this?' Elder Gan thought when Elder Shana finally found the resolve to stand up.

"My old age is killing me, hahaha...." Elder Shana said with a darkened face. She turned around with one hand on her back, "My knees are weak so I have to knee once in a while." she sighed out loud.

'Isn't kneeling hurts your knees more?' Mettany's head twisted more, 'And Rank Es Elementalists have old age problems too?'

"I got out..." Elder Shana sighed as she sat beside Elder Helen who nodded while watching Elder Gan, alone and scared.

At that moment, the four heads of the four Supreme Royal Families have arrived.

Matriarch Quiare from the Crome Family, Patriarch Wrenwor, Matriarch Freyor, and Patriarch Sharya.

"What is happening?" Matriarch Freyor asked as she stepped forward with a worried face. Seeing that their Supreme Elder was the only one kneeling in front of a mortal was giving her complicated feelings.

"Elder Gan, what are you doing? Why... are you kneeling?" the Matriarch of Freyor Family asked again.

Elder Gan could only sweat while he was looking at the ground. While he looked down, he had found hope.

Before Matriarch Freyor could ask again, Elder Gan stood up with a tranquil gaze on his eyes. He was looking at his finger, atop on it was an ant.

"I just saw this ant and felt it was more entertaining than to watch a battle between Rank Dih. If not for the Prince Malleus, I wouldn't be here, however, I have to as it is my responsibility as a Supreme Elder of the Freyor Family. Even though I am eternally bored, it is a sacrifice I must take... huu~"

He softly blew on the ant on his finger. The elder's eyes looked far to where he blew.

However, everyone with sharp eyes just saw the ant fall down right after it was blown. But Elder Gan's tranquil gaze says otherwise.

'Ants don't fly...' he thought, however, with the power of his brain cells, he said it out loud, "Ants don't fly..." in a mysterious tone as if there's something deep within.

After that show, he walked back to where he sat as if nothing happened.

Elder Khor, Elder Helen, and Elder Shana all nodded in admiration.

'He not only save himself but he looked heroic at the same time.' Elder Khor thought.

Elder Shana: 'Not only that but he also insulted the Rank Dih battle that was yet to happen... outstanding...'

With that settled, the final battle royal battle began with a total of ten Rank Es and dozens of Rank Ey Elementalists in the audience. Something that would definitely not happen again even at the far future.

Rossiya, a Rank Diey messenger from the Merkas Family just sat down as the battle begun. She didn't know how to butt in and just seek reinforcements.

'I have failed my land...' she covered her face. However, hope was still there since the Might of Torge was there! 

On the stone of ring in the middle of that colosseum, more than twenty people were standing in a random position, waiting for the battle royale to start.

However, with new Rank Es arrivals, new pressure came in. These people were like Elder Khor and Elder Gan back then. They didn't know that just their natural aura was enough to pressure them.

However, these Rank Dih Elementalists took it better than the Rank Eeh last time. The problem was Edora, Mettany, and Tamya were already used to being around this pressure and was able to move better than the others.

Let's not even mention Avion who didn't even notice the pressure. And so, when the battle begun, it was just a massacre...
