Here you go one more chapters. Thank you for reading. And I didn't reread what I write, so I may leave a few word here and there lol.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
The 'BloodBrothers' success on eliminating the 'TerraNorth' was not known yet to the 'Emperor Saga' community.
Mainly because the whole world attention were focus on the ongoing 2 months battles in the west continent.
At the end of every battles the video was uploaded and the streaming site reach a million view in one hour.
The battles was between the 'TerraFirma' branch clan, 'TerraNorth' and the clan dubbed as the greatest Emperor's challenger in Emperor Saga history, the clan 'Pulse'.
The ever so popular 'Pulse' managed to completed an SSS rated quest where they revive the first NPC Emperor, Vahn Guesten.
This result in Gray, the clan's leader becoming Vahn Gusten disciple where he can inherit the ancient Emperor's class and skill. 'Pulse' also gained 500 thousand 'immortal army' that used to serve Emperor Vahn Gusten.
Because of both clan history, the clashes between these two clans piqued everyone interests. The 'TerraWest' main branch, 'TerraFirma' even make the effort of sending reinforcement because of the threat 'Pulse' possess.
After countless battles in two month, finally Gray decide to used everything they got by using Vahn Gusten and the immortal army on top of his clan members.
At first, some of his council members disagree in using the immortal army and Vahn Gusten because they thought hiding their true strength were wiser.
But after two month of endless battles, they finally decide to unleash everything since the battles always result in a draw.
Now it's been 12 hours since they marched outside of the absolute fort of the west, 'Titan's Gate'. It was called 'Titan's Gate' mainly because a colossal gate was built between two huge mountain range.
The reason 'Pulse' can't used the other road was because their army were too huge to used the smaller road. If they can pass the 'Titan's Gate', their army of over a million can swiftly marched to 'TerraWest' headquarter.
Once Gray and his army managed to pass this gate, conquering 'TerraWest' main headquarters was a child play.
'TerraWest also realized this, that's why they send 90% of their armies to defend the gate since it was the last line of defends for them.
At the side of the 'Titan's Gate' everyone was tense because their enemy may attack at anytime. But one person didn't even hold her weapon, she only focus on watching her 'World's orbs'.
"Hey Shana, you should always hold your weapon, they may attack at anytime."
It's the captain of the main branch Jessi, he's the leader of the main branch reinforcement army.
"Please listen to him Shana, it's not good if the higher rank member from the main branch get too relax"
Another man from the main branch speak up.
" Hmm...Please wait it just get interesting."
"What did you watch Shana? Some funny event from our clan?"
"No, it was the event of some unknown clan raiding our north branch."
"What so interesting of that? Those wannabe always last less then 5 hours."
"Indeed, it last less then 5 hours."
"See? Nothing interesting."
"And instead of having an easy victory, they went on fighting Chaos Knight after capturing the throne."
"Wha? Wait what kind of nonsense was that? Our clan can't captured our own throne......Don't tell me..."
"Yes, the one lasting less then 5 hours was our branch clan, 'TerraNorth'. That unknown clan successfully eliminated 'TerraNorth' in less then 5 hours. "
The people around Shana eyes widened and their jaw drops, they can't believe what they just heard. The tense feeling they had was long gone, now they only felt disbelieve.
"Get.....Get me the 'worlds orb' !!"
*******
On the other side of the 'Titan's Gate' Gray and his council members in the middle of the discussion on the plan to attack the 'Titan's Gate'.
"Hmm... I think with this, we can conquered the 'Titan's Gate' in two days and captured their headquarters throne in 4 days."
"I'm excited! If we succeed , we will be the first clan in the history of Emperor Saga managed to eliminate Emperor's clan. Although it's the branch clan, it still one of the Emperor's clan!"
"Hey, Shila! It's ok to not contributing anything, but at least pay attention. Put away your 'Worlds Orb' NOW!"
"Discuss whatever you want, if I don't watch this historical moment live, I would regret it over my whole life."
"What kind of historical moment that can beat what we about to do?If you are talking about something stupid like how high the gold coin can be stacked or how deep can one dig a hole, I will kill you."
Shila only smiled at her fellow council members remark. If they actually know what happen currently in the north continent, they would never spout such a conceited nonsense.
" Ignorant fools..."
"What? I dare you, say it again!"
" What I currently watching was exactly what we about to do. An unknown chaotic clan attacking 'TerraNorth' headquarters."
"Huh!! I bet their chance was less then zero."
"They already succeed."
".........."
"And instead of two month, they succeeds in less then five hours."
".........."
The room fell in silence at Shila's remark. Except Shila, everyone in the council room have the same reaction like the people at the other sides.
"""""WHAT?!"""""
********
The surrounding fell in silence. The 'BloodBrothers' members still on their knees, and the surrounding 'TerraNorth' members were left speechless.
All of their eyes were focus on the two figure in the middle. Although his opponent was a mere low level users that didn't even reach level 100 yet, Chaos Knight take a serious stance as if he fight someone at his level.
It was a duel between two warriors. Chrono take his stance while holding his sword high, facing the Chaos Knight.
One hit from Chaos Knight can kill him even with a full health and Chaos Knight speed was far beyond his reach.
No one ever got this far in attacking 'TerraNorth' which make it no one actually knows how strong the guardian was.
Fighting an armies of veteran users head on, instead of suffering defeat, Chaos Knight came on top while all of his opponent on their knees one by one.
If he was a quest boss monster that need to be defeated, that quest would easily rated as SSS rated quest. Chaos Knight were that strong, he were a knight that can defeat an ancient dragon, the monster even the previous Emperor have a hard time with.
Even knowing all of that, instead of panicking, Chrono remain calmed. If he wishes to conquer the world, conquering his fear was the first step.
Like a scene straight out from a drawing, the two prominent figure stand facing each other while holding their sword high. Under the moonlight of the full moon, the two figures remain motionless.
The one with the higher confidence will surely attack first, but since both of them remained motionless, it proved that neither had enough confidence.
Looking at the scene, instead of cheering for Chrono, Aramis whisper to himself.
"Beautiful"
"HYAAARRGHH!!!!"
With his pride as the guardian, Chaos Knight break the silence and start charging towards Chrono. With his super human strength and godlike speed, Chaos Knight make his first strike.
Normally, low level users can never dodge the attack . But Chrono, managed to dodge the attack by a hairs.
"HYAHRGH!"
Chaos Knight continues his attack with the second strike but strangely, Chrono managed to dodge the attack again.
As if he hurt his pride, Chaos Knight continue his attack without stopping, but Chrono managed to dodge again and this time with a counter attack.
Critical Hit!
Since he was a low level users, the critical hit damage was almost non existence but Chaos Knight health was reduced regardless.
"HOW ABOUT THIS!"
Still in disbelieve, Chaos Knight unleashes his signature skill.
'SONIC SLASH'
But to everyone surprise, Chrono manage to dodge the attack again while gaining his distance.
"IMPOSSIBLE"
Chrono just smiles when he saw Chaos Knight confusion.Everyone around him also confused on what happen.
It was impossible to dodge Chaos Knight attack with Chrono current level. Even a max level users have a hard time to dodged it.
But Chrono dodge one attack after another from Chaos Knight. Annoyed by the current circumstance, Chaos Knight charge again towards Chrono, as usual, his speed and strength was godlike level.
Woooshh!!
But Chrono easily dodge Chaos Knight diagonal slash with a single sidestep to the right.
"WHAT?!"
Chaos Knight was confused, but deep in his heart he felt Chrono fighting was somewhat nostalgic. His mind may not remember, but his heart start to reminiscences the past.
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
Without dropping his speed, Chaos Knight continue his attack by swinging his sword horizontally.
"Flair! flair! I told you again and again you need to attack with more flair!!"
Again, Chrono dodge the attack simply by ducking his body. This time Chaos Knight eyes widened in shock, Chrono dodge no longer a mere luck to him. Chaos Knight tries to attack again, this time using a stab attack.
"Man, I can read you like a book! Every attack was so predictable, until it make me sleepy!"
Not to mention a dodge, Chrono even counter the attack with a swift strike.
critical hit!!
As NPC it hurt getting hit but Chaos Knight can only ignored since he can't comprehend what he just remembered. He pause for a second before his mouth utter a word which he can't understand.
"M-MASTER?"
Chrono didn't let this opportunity pass, in that one second paused, he managed to sneak an attack and get away with it.
critcal hit!
"This twisted fate of yours, let me end it!"
"N-NO, IMPOSSIBLE!!"
As if he were possessed, Chaos Knight charged towards Chrono to attack. He maintained the same speed and power, but unlike before, his attack was big which make Chrono easily dodged it.
"Kyross, you have a physical attribute that can matched a dragon. But your orthodox sword style was too predictable!"
Without any delay, Chaos Knight continue his attack.
"YES!! I WILL PRACTICE TEN THOUSAND TIMES A DAY!!"
As if he knows already, Chrono dodged in advance.
"No, it's not about practice. What I mean is.....Arrgh! I had a headache!!"
"HYAARGH!"
With a confused, mind, Chaos Knight start to make a big and wide attack, make it easier for Chrono to dodge and counter.
But Chrono realized that if this keep on going, he may end up losing despite he can already predict Chaos Knight attack.
Even with a critical hit, his damage were almost non existence and his stamina almost reach his limits by constantly dodging Chaos Knight attack.
"( I need a decisive attack that will end it all)"
In his mind, Chrono have one last trick. But the chance was 50-50 since it was easy to dodge the attack.
"(I will take a gamble on this one)"
Left with no other option, he decide to proceed with his plan. He take out a smoke bomb from the portal and throw it towards Chaos Knight.
boom!!
The whole area of 500 meter radius was engulf in smoke. To make sure the smoke doesn't disappear prematurely, Chrono throw a few more smoke bombs.
boom!
boom!
boom!
boom!
"FOOL! THIS WILL NEVER STOP ME!!"
Chrono activated his 'Silent Dead' skill to conceal his movement. Chaos Knight can still detect him, but if he was far enough, the skill can still hide his presence well enough.
When Chaos Knight noticing Chrono presence start to disappear, he start to swing his sword around blindly.
"COME OUT COWARDS!!"
woosh!
pang!
Suddenly a spear throwed towards Chaos Knight, it doesn't have any damaged, rather it only reveal Chrono location.
By using the spear throwing direction, Chaos Knight charged towards one direction. With his speed, he found Chrono in no time.
"FOUND YOU"
Chaos Knight quickly strike but Chrono easily dodged it.
"Even your ambushes attack have the same pattern!"
Again, Chaos Knight remembering something he long forgotten. Chrono jumped towards Chaos Knight head, trying to attack.
Since this time it was not a counter attack, Chaos Knight managed to respond and slashes Chrono body. But strangely Chaos Knight swords easily pass through Chrono body.
'Shadow Ghost'
In the Ghost form, Chrono smiled, giving the guardian an uneasy feeling.But as soon he finishes swinging his sword, a big giant sword came out of nowhere hitting him.
'Ragnarok'
BOOMM!!!
Before, Chrono make a portal as high to the sky as possible. Then he timed it carefully and distract Chaos Knight attention just before 'Ragnarok' about to reach the ground.
Chrono get away from the scene as quickly as possible to avoid getting caught up and get hit unnecessarily.
Chaos Knight armor was crushed by 'Ragnarok' and his body get impaled by the swords. With the heavy sword on the guardian's body, Chaos Knight will have a hard time to move.
But instead of giving up, Chaos Knight hit 'Ragnarok' with his sword, crushing the giant sword with his might. Now the sword was split into two, and only the giant sword tip still on Chaos Knight's body.
As if he already remembered something, Chaos Knight faced Chrono while looking at him with a different eyes.
"YOU'RE NOT MY MASTER"
And then Chaos Knight held his sword high while taking a combat stance before he continue to speak.
"BUT I CAN FEEL THAT YOU ARE SOMEONE THAT INHERIT MY MASTER'S WILL."
Chrono take his combat stance, preparing for another round. Deep down he knows it would be the final confrontation that will decide the final winner.
"I AM A WARRIOR THAT WOULD NEVER GO DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT. IF YOU ARE TRULY SOMEONE THAT HAS MY MASTER WILL, PROVE IT YOU ARE WORTHY AND PUT AN END TO THIS TWISTED FATE OF MINE."
No one around understand what Chaos Knight talking about except Chrono. Right now his clan members already recovered some of their stamina.
If Chrono wishes it, he can ask for help and attack Chaos Knight together. But pulling tricks at this point was abominable.
At least for this final clashes, Chrono want to face Chaos Knight properly as a duel between warriors. His clan members understand it and didn't interfere this last confrontation.
"It his fight, lets see it to the end."
"If he died we can still jump on that Chaos Knight anyway."
Chaos Knight now truly saw Chrono as his equal. His health was as low as Chrono and one swift strike can truly finishes him off for good.
Both remained motionless, it was longer then the first time they do so. Because Chaos Knight were better in level, stat and skill, Chrono didn't dare to attack first.
On the other hand, Chrono perceptions that can easily counter every Chaos Knight attack make it hard for Chaos Knight to make the first move.
"(If I stall more times, Chaos Knight health would recover gradually and it would be disadvantageous for me.)"
Chrono knows he can't stall anymore times, he knows Chaos Knight would not make the first move anymore.
But knowing Chaos Knight honorable nature, the knight would moved as soon as Chrono make the first move.
"(Now, here we go!)"
Chrono make the first move and charge towards Chaos Knight.
"HYARGH!!"
As soon as Chrono charged, Chaos Knight also make his moved. But since Chaos Knight have the superior basic stat, it looks as if the one charging first was him.
'Soul Wall'
The Guardian's speed was reduced to 50% make it easier for Chrono to follow his speed.In that moment, both attacked each other almost at the same time.
As if they had the same sword style, both of them aim for each other neck.
critical hit!!
And the one managed to land a hit was Chrono, while Chaos Knight sword were shattered to a thousand pieces before he can complete his attack making Chrono feel nothing but a breeze from the guardian's swing.
"(Attacking 'Ragnarok' make his sword broke earlier)"
As his health reach zero from the last strike, Chaos Knight body slowly disappear. And for the first time, he smiled.
