Chapter 392: Side Story 7 - Kronos (7)
Kim Gil-Gyus energy was explosive and was seemingly flooding this space. Choi Leah and Kronos could only watch him in awe.
Jupiter? But isnt your name Kim Gil-Gyu? Leah asked. However, Kim Gil-Gyu wasnt even looking at herhis eyes were on Kronos, who remained silent.
They didnt glare at each other like earlier anymore. An awkward silence fell, but Kim Gil-Gyu broke it. Lets just get rid of that giant first.
All right, Choi Leah answered, but Kronos continued to gaze at Kim Gil-Gyu.
Annoying bastard, Kim Gil-Gyu muttered before sprinting off. His movement shook the ground, and he quickly vanished out of sight.
He has so much power I think this might work, Leah said in excitement after witnessing Kim Gil-Gyu, a.k.a. Jupiters power. But when Kronos didnt answer, she asked, What are you doing?
Kronos stood still while Leah looked at him in confusion. After a while, Kronos finally whispered, Jupiter
Leah realized that something had changed in Kronos, but she didnt know what to do. Thankfully, after a few minutes, Kronos looked slightly more relaxed as he announced, We should go as well.
Leah nodded, unsure of what to say. Kronos still had a strange look in his eyes, and she wasnt sure if she should console or try to cheer him up. Leaving her behind, Kronos followed Jupiter.

Boom! Boom!
Explosions had seemingly occupied the entire floor. Jupiter, Kronos, and Choi Leah rushed as Uranus attacked them. The giant was missing one arm, but he was still a formidable opponent.
Ugh! Kronos groaned as the giant tried to crush him with his arm.
Hup! Choi Leah quickly attacked Uranus to free Kronos. Are you okay?
Thank you. When Kronos thanked her, Leah blushed.
Boom!
Meanwhile, Jupiter was busy attacking Uranus torso. Looking confused, Leah asked Kronos, I dont understand whats happening. You feel it too, dont you?
Kronos nodded and replied, Were getting stronger as we fight him.
Exactly. Kronos and Choi Leah looked up at the sky. Leah whispered, There is definitely something between you and that guy.
How could anyone become stronger this quickly during a battle? It was unheard of. Yet, that was exactly what was happening in front of her. The growing magic storm told her that the impossible was happening.
Perhaps there really is something between that child and me Kronos said. Then, an explosion occurred in the sky.
Kaboom!
Jupiter had landed a direct hit on the giants chest. Thick smoke spread everywhere.
Did we win? asked Leah.
No, were just getting started, Kronos answered.
Not long after, something small began raining down. Leah opened her palm to catch what looked like a black peel.
Huh? Leah stared at it; suddenly, the piece began wiggling, so she quickly threw it away. What the hell was that?Fiind updated novels at novelhall.com
I thought this might happen, but I really shouldve killed him with my last attack. Kronoss eyes darkened in worry. Hes shaking off the grimes of Chaos.
Grimes of Chaos?
Chaos latched onto him over a long period. It made him stronger, but it also suppressed his unique power.
What are you talking about?
The battle resumed quickly.

-Kwerrrrrk!
The giants roar made the sky crumble further. The players on the ground would have all died from being trampled or burnt if it wasnt for the Grigories sacrifice. Many Grigories and the guides had died to save the newbie players. They killed the grime monsters and maintained the barrier protecting the newbies. Already, many of them had died or gotten injured, but they didnt give up hope because of one reason.
They must be winning up there, right? said a newbie, looking skyward. The giant was covered in wounds, and his blood was raining down on them. Explosions and blasts continued, creating a thick reddish smoke all around them. Mountains of the giants flesh could be seen everywhere.
The newbie players prayed.
Please win.
Please
Save us!
One of the players suddenly pointed at the sky in disbelief. Huh? No
They could see the giants ribs from an open gash, but something huge happened as he roared.
Mr. Guide!
Chief!
Grigories called out to Kim Gil-Gyu, their leader.
Huh?! The players saw two players, a man with a scythe and a woman with a sword, falling from the sky after the giants attack. It was shocking that they had lasted this long despite the rising gravity and the giants unbelievable attacks. With only one opponent left in the sky, the giant shot something like a dark light ray from his ribs toward Jupiter.
No! the players on the ground screamed. This had to be the end. Jupiter had been fighting surprisingly well, but everyone could sense that Jupiter likely wouldnt survive this attack. The explosive and destructive ray was about to impale Jupiter when someone appeared out of nowhere to block it.
That man is? one of the beginner players whispered.
***
Are you okay? Kronos asked.
Jupiter could feel that the heat was hot enough to melt the ground. But despite it, he wasnt hurt because Kronos was standing in front of him with his arms open.
You Jupiter whispered as he stared at the giant hole in Kronos chest. Kronos had protected him from Uranus ray of destruction by sacrificing himself.
Why are you doing this? Jupiters voice was cold, but many emotions crossed his mind. Why are you doing this to me? Are you trying to be my father after all this time?
Are you okay? Kronos, a giant hole in his chest, asked. He would die in a moment, yet his voice remained shockingly calm.
Do you think Ill forgive you just because you did this?
I dont want your forgiveness. How could I ask for it after what I have done? Kronos voice was so clear that it was hard to imagine he was about to die. Jupiter could sense Kronoss life slipping away. He quickly injected Life into the dying man, but it was useless.
Dont bother, said Kronos. The power of Life is immense, but we are under Uranus sky. You saw that your swords didnt work against him, didnt you?
Stop talking. Jupiter bit his lips.
A faint smile spread on Kronoss lips as he whispered, Im sorry. Everything happened because of my selfishness
I told you to stop!
It is all my fault. With his last words, Kronos began falling to the ground.
Ha Song-Su! Choi Leah rushed toward him, but Jupiter couldnt see what had happened to Kronos because of the thick smoke.
His pupils dilated, and Jupiter turned to look at the giant.
