And it's not proofread, sorry for my english.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Back then, when Chrono ran to the thicket and threw a spear, instead of running away further he hide himself and used 'Fake Death' to hide his presence.'Fake Death' can be used to hide presence against player, but it's not that effective since one cannot move while in 'Fake Death' mode.But if Chrono used 'Walking Dead' to search for hiding place and then used 'Fake Death' at hiding spot, he can hide his presence indefinitely because 'Fake Death' doesn't drain mana.
After all the bounty hunter pass through, he used 'Walking Death' and stealthily walked around the thicket to reached the place where user's with critical condition reside. When he reached the place, instead of ambushing them right away, he take his time and prepared a plan first.
Even if the other side is greatly weakened, the fact that they are 50 people in number still can kill Chrono. After a careful planning in his mind, he take out a food from the portal.
Herb Wolf Meat :
A high quality meat cooked with herb. Greatly restored stamina
Healthy Tree Roots :
A bitter herbs that will restored health and mana
Chrono eat until his health, mana and stamina is full. Food is hard to use in a fight because its hard to consume while fighting but its effectiveness is great if used before a fight. In his spare time, Chrono used to browse the forum and searched for the recipe that closely related to stamina. After finishing his meal, he get closer to the bounty hunter while holding his spear high.
"(Here we go)"
Woooshhh!!
Critical Hit!!
Knock back by 100 meter
You successfully kill a person. + 100 infamy
Woosshh!!
Critical Hit!!
You successfully kill a person. + 100 infamy
All the bounty hunter startle with the sudden ambushed. Chrono then appeared from the thicket while holding Grave.He charge to the bounty hunter and kill them one by one.Magician without mana, Archer with no arrow left,warrior with broken weapon and armor all get attacked by Chrono with no mercy.
At first, they thought their number can handle Chrono but they can't be more wrong. Chrono handled Grave swiftly that he only need 3 strike at most to kill a user.When the bounty hunter finally realized they can't win the fight, they tried to contact their clan member, but their clan member busy with avoiding Rydon while searching for Chrono in a thick fog didn't notice the injured party messaged. Finally Chrono massacred all of them without breaking a sweat.
Trtting!
You massacred 50 user in critical condition in cold blooded. Your act of atrocities had no limit. A sudden quest created to stop your crazy rampage. +1000 infamy +10 gold bounty
When Jason and James arrived everything already over. Chrono had even taken all the loot and retrieved his spear back from the user body.
***************
"Bastard!!" Jason grit his teeth holding his angered.
"Kill him now!! We can get extra 50 gold!" James order his party to attack.
Of course, Chrono doesn't stay still. He sheath his sword and run to the left side where the swamp reside. The tree at the swamp was overgrowth thus make its root big and thick and sometime looks like a maze. Chrono used these terrain to his advantage and run around it confusing the enemy. In the thick fog, the hunter only relies on their predator skill to chase Chrono.
Woosshh!!
Critical Hit!!
Knock back by 100 meter
Occasionally, a spear suddenly appear flying through the thick fog from Chrono direction.The hunter have little chance to dodge with the thick fog and too much awareness will slow down their chasing speed.
When Chrono reach a bit more deeper swamp, even his speed doesn't help much
"(Now)"
'Walking Dead'.Chrono hide his presence and move around the swamp.
Realizing Chrono presence was gone, the bounty hunter know he plan on something, they spread their self to search for Chrono.Since 'Walking Dead' require mana per second, spreading around while waiting for Chrono mana to run out is a good strategy.
But instead of running around with 'Walking Dead' Chrono move to a spot and use 'Fake Death'.Because of the swamp water, no one notice his 'corpse' lying around. He wait for a bounty hunter get near him then rise from their back to attack.
Back Stab!!
Critical Hit!!
Critical Hit!!
You successfully kill a person. + 100 infamy
Then Chrono move on with his 'Walking Dead' to other spot and used the same tactic.Of course Chrono just let them pass if he sense more then 2 bounty hunter around. And Chrono sometime need to rise to catch his breath because while he was a 'corpse' he need to hold his breathed in the swamp water.
"AAaarghh....!!" A cry eerily heard from somewhere in the thick fog.
"There!! Fast!!" Bounty hunter rushed to the where the cry originated but only their comrade corpse was founded. Rydon can't move fast in the swamp making it easy to avoid it, but the current situation is worse with spear flying out of nowhere, sudden ambushed and Chrono nowhere to be found.
A cried heard from time to time as a sign someone get ambushed from somewhere. No matter how fast they get to the scene, Chrono didn't get founded. Slowly, they feel fear and their body startle at the smallest sound
they heard.
Now the hunter become the hunted.
"Regroup!! We moved in one big group until the fog cleared!". Realizing they start to become unorganized and their moral are plummeting, Jason and James decide they should moved in one big group and wait until the thick fog cleared by the morning sunlight. It's already dawn, and it will take around 1 or 2 hour before the fog cleared.
"(We just need to make sure his neared us until the fog cleared)"
But while in a group, Chrono spear fly through the fog occasionally.
Critical Hit!!
Knock back by 100 meter
And every time the group rush to the spear spear direction, a spear fly through at another direction.
Critical Hit!!
Knock back by 100 meter
Chrono use 'Walking Dead' after throwing a spear and quickly went to another direction to launch another spear.Sometime he deliberately give away his presence by cancelling 'walking dead' and then reactivate it and move to another direction to throw more spear.But this tactic didn't weaken the hunter party that much.
When the fog is about to get cleared, the hunter party sense Chrono presence at a far away place. They rushed to the place as they know this is the last chance to hunt him.When they almost arrived, the fog cleared and 100 feet in front of them is a skull mask man standing at a huge boulder while holding a sword in their vicinity. Strangely, Chrono didn't run.
*Huff*Huff*Huff*
"Finally we got you!!" Jason smile while running with all his might to Chrono.
"We will win, we still got 30 high level user" James smirk while running with Jason.
Chrono didn't move, Jason and James excitedly run to Chrono.
80 feet...
*huf*huf "(Now I will get rid of that painful experience getting out wit by a mere criminal)". James continue on his run
This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
50 feet...
*huff* *huff*huff* "( I will definitely get that bastard this time)". Jason dash to Chrono with all his might.
40 feet.....
*huff*huff*huff "(( We will finally bring that bastard to justice!!))" Jason and James think the same thing.
They get closer but Chrono still didn't move a muscle.Finally when they get 10 feet closer,
*HUFF* *HUFF* *HUFF*
They on their knees.......
Puzzled, they tried to move but in vain, their lung feels clogged as it's hard to breath and their armor feel like 50 times heavier. They can't even move a muscle as their stamina run out completely.
"What?!. Guys attack him!! James cried but as he look at his back, everyone else also at the same situation.Jason look at Chrono as he jump from the boulder and walk to them slowly, now they are on his mercy . Chrono walk to them slowly as a voice come out from the skull mask.
"You both are amazing I can give you that. Scouting me for a month, devise a plan and recruiting 100 user to hunt me is something no one else will do. And fighting Rydon and hunt me from the start until now I have no doubt both of you are formidable and I will had trouble facing you in one on one honest fight.But there's 3 reason why you lose this fight."
Chrono walked closer to the hunter.
"First, for some strange reason you don't have any healer." Chrono walked more closer. He take his time because he know the hunter party can't do anything anymore.
"Second, you obviously didn't know running around in swamp will depleted your stamina faster and stamina will not regenerate in the swamp water." Chrono held Grave as he pointing it at Jason neck.
"So, in another word." Chrono take out his skull mask with his left hand and showed his smirk.
"Try again, NOOB" Chrono kill Jason.
You successfully kill a person. + 100 infamy
"Later!! We will surely hunt you later!" James cried.
"Later, then" Chrono swing Grave and kill James.
You successfully kill a person. + 100 infamy
The other bounty hunter Chrono kill without breaking a sweat as they can only stay still like a statue it seems run out of stamina truly is a dreadful thing.As Chrono finish off the last bounty hunter, A message come out.
trttingting!!
Your act of carnage have no limit. By killing a hundred people in one night, you gain 'Hundred Man Slayer' title.
By killing a hundred man in one night, the quest 'Hunt the Red Eye'd triggered to all the bounty hunter around the kingdom.A great reward awaits them!!
You achieved 10,000 infamy point. Now normal NPC will provide great hospitality to you out of fear and weaker monster will not attack you. Beware, normal NPC will betray you anytime and weaker monster will call their boss to kill you.
***************
After Chrono taking all the loot and retrieved the spear from the user's body, He eat to replenish his vitality. As soon as he finish his meal, one more actor enter the stage for Chrono play to end it grandly and drop the curtain.
GROAARR!!! Rydon has come.
Rydon will not stop until it slay all user that fight him and Chrono is the last user Rydon need to kill.
"You've come" Chrono remained composed facing the level 300 boss that bring trouble even to Jason and James hundred man party.
Groarr!! Rydon open up his attack with 'Earth Smashed'.
Knowing Rydon always use the damaging area of effect 'Earth Smash' first, Chrono ready his 'Shadow Ghost' skill and cast it when Rydon initiate 'Earth Smash'.
BOOMM!!!
Boulder, tree and earth shattered around Rydon. But Chrono remain unhurt since no physical attack can damage him while in ghost form.He then activate his trump card, a skill he save for this exact moment. A broken skill that deny armor which he can only used 20 second a day and he can only use it 19 second for now as he already use some soul before.
"Soul Blade!!"
Chrono jump around dodging Rydon attack with flair, then he fearlessly close down Rydon and attack.
Critical Hit!!
Critical Hit!!
Critical Hit!!
He manage to get critical hit as he remembered all of Rydon vital point. Before, he collect all the information about Rydon vital point in the internet. Thanks to the 10 years old game, it's easy to get the information. Rydon originally is a monster that specialized in great defense but its health is not that high, 'Soul Blade' that denied defense work wonder against Rydon.
Critical Hit!!
Critical Hit!!
Critical Hit!!
Chrono move around as if he dancing around Rydon dodging its attack while striking its vital point. Thanks to the swamp water, Rydon can only move its hand when attacking Chrono. When Rydon tried to move its feet, it loss balance when Chrono attack and fall. Chrono take this opportunity to damage it further and Rydon can't get up with the swamp water hindering its movement and Chrono relentless attack.The high pace fight didn't even last 18 second when finally Rydon health drop to zero.
Critical Hit!!
Critical Hit!!
You slay Rock Golem Rydon
3...
2.....
1.......
BOOOMM!!!!!!!!!
Rydon body exploded as its health reach zero, a very short interval between the countdown make it extra hard to avoid the damage.
Cheat Death activated instead of dying, you health reduced to one.
Thank fully, Chrono still got 'Cheat Death' skill. He avoid dying once more.
"(The last blow shock me)" Chrono stand as he finally slay all of his opponent.
"( I should leave the forest, too many bounty hunter come after me)"
trtingting!!
By fighting a lot of battle with your sword, you earned 'Battle Harden Sword Mastery'
Chrono eyed widened as he didn't expect this.The last 16 hour he gained a whooping 5 level by fighting bounty hunter and Rydon not to mention he gained a lot of luxury from bounty hunter and Rydon dead body.Now he get sword mastery skill that no one will get unless they have the class needed or by learning from grand master.
"Battler Harden Sword Mastery skill window!!"

Chrono smile while holding Grave looking at it affectionately.
"(Now we will get better, together)".But when he held Grave and try to lift it, the sword shattered.
"(EH?!)"
Trttingting!!
By leaving Grave with zero durability, the sword broke. Now you loss all the benefit and penalty from the class 'Soul Necromancer'
Grave shattered body slowly disappear from Chrono eye until it disappear completely without a trace .Chrono eyed widened while his jaw dropped in disbelieve, he can't even repair Grave if the sword vanish completely.
"(Is it because of the explosion?)"
"(.................................)"
"(WHAT???)"
