Villain With The Strongest System-Chapter 236: Kronos

( Rocky's POV )

Rocky stared into the eyes of the Gray skinned man and found himself unable to look away, as there was something about that man's gaze that made Rocky feel as if he were looking into a mirror.

Pain. Anguish. Determination. Respect.

The myriad different emotions that the man displayed were the same emotions that Rocky often carried in his own eyes, yet although the man's eyes told one story, his face remained stoic, as if even despite feeling all those emotions, the man did not allow his heart to feel any.

Finally, as Erin removed his choker, the man momentarily gasped for air before adjusting his jaw as he looked towards Rocky.

"You reek of divinity" the man said, as if uttering the worst form of insult, as he seemed disgusted by Rocky having an element of divinity about him.

"I'm the Champion Of Gemini, and you are?" Rocky replied, extending his hand forward for a handshake, however, the newly freed man refused to shake it.

"Thank-you, kind human and kind orc for freeing me" The man said, clasping his palms together in a namaste sign as he profusely thanked Erin and Buhara, however, refused to greet Rocky.

"As for you…. Champion Of God, I cannot thank you, for I have sworn to destroy all gods including the one you believe in.

However, I'm thankful for your act of saving me and for it, I, Kronos, swear to pay back your kindness someday" Kronos said, as he refused to shake hands with Rocky, however, expressed his gratitude in saving him nonetheless.

"Your goal is to destroy all gods? Isn't that too delusional?" Erin muttered, as he did not think that Kronos wanting to kill all gods was a reasonable life goal, however, Kronos did not seem to think so.

"It's not delusional. The gods have taken everything from me. So I shall take everything from them one day" Kronos promised as he clenched his fists in determination.

Rocky said nothing, as he kept observing Kronos and his behavior, until eventually looking away as he gave up on trying to discern the secrets behind this man.

"I'm assuming you people here are looking for a specific prisoner.

I know which cell holds which prisoner precisely.

If you tell me who you are looking for, I'll be able to help you save time" Kronos said, as he offered some much needed help to Rocky and crew.

"You know which prison cell holds what prisoner?" Rocky asked, sounding surprised as he did not understand how a man who was tied up and locked within a closed cell could have any idea about who the other prisoners in the other cells were, however, he still chose to believe him.

"I'm looking for my sister, Riva, she's a human, and should have arrived here not more than 6-8 months ago…." Rocky said, trying to give a general description of his sister that made her easy to recognise.

"She should be the prisoner on the last cell on the right side.

Though I must warn you, once you open that cell in particular, the person you might find inside might not be the person you remember" Kronos said, sounding genuinely concerned, as although his facial expressions did not change there were goosebumps that arose all over his skin.

"What do you mean, she might not be the same person that I remember? What happened to her?" Rocky asked, sounding agitated, as at that moment Kronos pressed three fingers to his heart and hung his head in shame.

"I'd rather not reply to that question…" he said, before holding his head back up as he started to move out of the cell.

"Our debt still stands…. Champion and I promise to pay it back the next time we meet" Kronos said, as he moved out of his cell door and began stretching his muscles.

However, before he could make his next move, which Rocky presumed would be something that would help him safely exit this prison floor, Kronos paused and looked towards the entrance to the third floor as a wide smile spread on his face.

"Ho? A divine brat comes walking down towards his own death–" Kronos said, as he bent over and grabbed the short dagger that the prison guard who Mama Chun previously killed was carrying, as he took an aim towards the entrance.

"ROCKY YADAV! DEATH HAS COME KNOCKING FOR YOU ONCE AGAIN–" Shouted Perseus as he walked into the third floor of the underground prison system, only for a dagger to come flying towards his face the second he entered.

*Swoosh*

*Slit*

*Swop*

The dagger flew past Perseus, who veered to the left to try and dodge the sudden attack, barely saving his own life.

However, although he managed to successfully dodge the killing blow, the dagger still found its mark, as it drew a line of blood from his cheek before poking into the wall behind him.

"Hahaha…. Turns out this is my lucky day…. A stinky demi-god has willingly come to me to die" Kronos said, as he cracked his knuckles and began walking towards Perseus barehanded.

"Kronos…. You're free?" Perseus muttered with audible fear in his eyes, as whoever this gray skinned individual was, seemed to inspire a genuine feeling of terror within the eyes of Perseus.

Although Rocky did not understand what was going on, alarm bells began ringing in his head at seeing Perseus come down here, as he was almost sure of his crushing defeat when AceKing and 11 other Elites had stayed back to deal with him on floor two.

For Perseus to defeat 12 tier5 warriors alone, it meant that his strength was not to be underestimated and meant that he was certainly not an opponent that Rocky could think about taking down alone.

"Guys, while this gray dude is dealing with Sophia's brother, let's quickly save Rocky's sister" Buhara encouraged, as nodding his head in approval Rocky decided to ignore Perseus for now and instead focus on saving Riva first. ƒrēenovelkiss.com
