Chapter 105: The Chronos King. (2/2)
”It can.” Gray spoke.
”You… So you can move…”
He didn't seem surprised by the fact that Gray could. Nor did he seemed trouble by it. It was Gray's existence himself which had unsettled him.
Gray's eyes landed on the screen ahead of him,
[Quest: Defeat The Chronos King.]
[Reward: New Bloodline Ability.]
[Failure: Death.]
No matter how he thought about it, it just wouldn't click. The system wanted him to risk his life, fighting a being which controlled time?
[The king had achieved such a feat during his time. Now he is not even a shell of what he once was, he can't even bring forth ten percent of his power.]
'Would you say my hundred is stronger than his ten?' He asked the system as he got into a fighting stance.
[...I am not able to formulate-]
'You don't have to finish that.' He thought to himself, interrupting it.
”You came all this way to pick a fight with me?” The King Asked.
”Yeah, to challenge you to a fist fight... And to talk… But mainly the fist fight.” Gray replied as he leapt towards him.

Outside of the mansion's Violet's figure suddenly emerged from the wall as she had leapt over it.
On her back was a large hiking back filled with the supplies which she had been told to get.
Simultaneously, Ruby's figure also emerged from the other corner of the wall beside her. All she was carrying was her battle axe.
Upon seeing one another, the two stared at each other for a few seconds before rushing towards the base.
They weren't on good terms, nor did they trust one another, but now wasn't the time. They had both more important things to worry about.

They entered into the base, locking off the entrance above them before heading towards Gray's room where he was resting.
Upon entering the first thing they saw was the golden aura radiating from Gray as a strange pattern began to form over the back of his hand.
Ria, Lara, Aurora, Kylo were were all too focused on it to notice as well.
”What's happening to him now!?” Violet asked as she stepped into the room.
”We don't know!” Aurora replied.
In that instant, the light suddenly vanished along with the mark.
Thinking that it was over, they took a step closer to see what was wrong with him.
It was then that it twitched. His index finger.
None of them had noticed it.
After all, their attention was stolen by Lita in the next second as she stood ahead of both Violet and Ruby.
She was back to acting like a completely different person as she said in in a cold and mechanical tone. ”They're coming.”
”They're…? What is she talking about?” Ria asked.
”Maybe the enemy?” Kylo theorized.
Lita pointed at Violet and Ruby who was just as confused as the rest of them.
She pointed at the strange gloves on the top of Violet's hiking bag and Ruby's shadow.
”You were followed.” She said.
