Elementalist: Time Controllers 60 Ch. '60 Find A Way'

s.h.i.+n Ha returned to his tribe to find a way to help Niken. He did not understand how Niken's life shortened this fast. She only had two weeks! Wasn't the girl just fine all this time? Wasn't she a normal Elementalist?

Then why was the child's life threatened now?

He met with a few of his elders to get the answer as soon as he arrived.

"It is impossible. She certainly would not survive." Replied one of the elders.

"There is must be one way. We just don't know yet. Please, if you know something, whatever it is, tell me."

s.h.i.+n Ha didn't want to give up hope yet.

"An Elementalist knight can't possibly fall in love with an ordinary human, especially those who don't have any energy. He could only fall in love with strong elemental energy or at least a normal one. Even if he did, he would control his desire to not claim her as his inamorata."

"..." s.h.i.+n Ha stayed silent.

He remembered Kazuto indeed could control his desire as he didn't claim her right away. However, at that time, Kazuto must claim her. He must fuse his energy into Niken's body to save her. He had no choice!

"Is there no way out? Anything? She was no ordinary human. She was quite strong Elementalist." asked him insistently.

"If that was true, I guess when your friend claimed her, the girl used a lot of her energy. Before her own energy replenished she received the fused energy of your friend. That made the girl unable to survive since the knight's energy was too strong to be juxtaposed with her drained energy."

Hearing that explanation s.h.i.+n Ha began to understand. By the time Kazuto fuse his energy inside Niken, the girl's energy had been drained a lot to freeze the time.

"Yes, it happened like that. Is there a way to help her? " asked s.h.i.+n Ha again, still refusing to give up.

"..."

"..."

"..."

He kept waiting yet no answer from them making him felt anxious.

"All three of you are very experienced and have lived for a long time. Your knowledge of the Elementalist knights must be plenty. Is there nothing you know? Whatever it is, please, I beg of you. Tell me."

"There is one. But this is only a myth. I don't know whether it really exists or not."

s.h.i.+n Ha nodded his head and listened intently.

"I heard there was an island. It's full of time-controllers."

Hearing this unconsciously s.h.i.+n Ha held his breath. Time-controllers? As in Niken's power?

"If you manage to find The Great Time Master before the girl dies, maybe you can save her. He can help you to turn back time before the girl drained all of her elemental energy. Automatically your friend's symbol will disappear from the shoulders of the girl. Then wait for the girl's condition to recover and become strong then the rest, you know what to do. Remember, you need to find the Great Time Master, not the ordinary Time Master."

At first, they were called time-controllers. Now, they were called Time Master, but now he needed to find the Great Time Master? What was the difference anyway?

"Okay. So where is he? What is the name of the island?"

"Too bad, I don't know either. And as I said, it's only a myth. After all, until now I did not believe that time-controllers existed. So..."

"I understand. Thank you very much."

s.h.i.+n Ha immediately took his foni stone to tell this important information to Scarlet. He told her what he heard from the elders in detail.

"Are you sure? The Great Time Master can save her? "

"That's what my elders said. That is just a myth and not necessarily true. But it's worth giving it a try, right?"

"It is true. It's better to have a clue than do nothing." Scarlet heaved a relieved sigh. At least they had hope to save Niken. But she pondered about something. "Do you know the difference between Time Master and The Great Time Master?"

"Beats me. I don't even know the difference between Time masters and time-controllers."

Well, Scarlet knew that. Time-controllers could only stop time and playback time in a hundred meters range but couldn't restrain a knight's movement. While Time Masters could freeze the time around the world and also could restraint the movement of the Elementalist Knights and turn the time of human life.

Whereas The Great Time Master ...

Scarlet had no idea about the special mastery of The Great Time Master had.

The Finnick's book never explains about The Great Time Master. It only said she needs to find Princess Xiao Yue, The Time Master.

"I'm gonna try to find out the whereabouts of this island. How is Kazuto doing?"

Scarlet glanced at Kazuto who was still sitting beside Niken. His facial looked haggard as if he hadn't eaten nor slept for months.

"No better. I hope this will all be over soon."

s.h.i.+n Ha took his longest breath of the day, then decided to continue his search again.
