Chapter 391: Side Story 6 - Kronos (6)

Grigory?

That sounds familiar.

Could it be them?!

Despite being in danger, the players couldnt hide their surprise at the mention of Grigory.

Its Edens secret army unit!

I thought it was just a rumor! So they really exist?!

Most players had heard about this. According to the rumors, Grigories were responsible for dealing with the worst lot of Red Players and taking care of all things complicated. Despite the many rumors floating around about them, not many knew if the group really existed.

Grigory number 175, reporting for duty!

Grigory number 401, here at your service!

One by one, the Grigories revealed themselves. They worked quickly to create a protective barrier all around everyone.

Ah I feel much better now!

So they are the Grigories?

The newbie players sighed in relief. The giants immense power had suffocated ordinary players, but the Grigories' barrier brought everyone solace.

Kim Gil-Gyu asked, What about the rest of you? Where are they?

We have sent a message, so please dont worry, replied one of the Grigories.

Have you been able to make contact with the outside?

No.

Kim Gil-Gyu turned around and began leading the Grigories. All right, lets move now!

Obeying his order, the other Grigories began directing the players.

Were Edens Grigory. This is an emergency, so please follow us.

Ah, of course

When the Grigories ushered them, the players obeyed quickly.

So the infamous Guide Kim Gil-Gyu is the leader of the Grigories?

Uwahhh

The beginner players murmured among themselves, elated despite the dire situation.

Please move right now!

When the Grigories yelled, the players nodded. Kim Gil-Gyu sighed in relief as he watched the newbies leave. Phew

The Grigories were hidden throughout the Tower, as per Heo Sung-Hoon and Kim Gil-Gyus order, serving as guides. The KPA had gone corrupt from within, and they didn't want the same fate to befall Eden.

Thank goodness for them, Kim Gil-Gyu thought in relief. I thought I ended up with an annoying job, but I guess I was wrong. Visitt for the latest updates

The Grigories werent often called into action. And until now, they had only been taking care of internal corruption. So, this was actually their first public appearance.

I better get going too, Kim Gil-Gyu muttered. He could sense the newbies moving far away, proving just how efficient and helpful the Grigories were.

Hmm Kim Gil-Gyu stretched his arms and looked up.

Kaboom!

Another explosion had occurred not too far away.

Just who the hell is he? Kim Gil-Gyu wondered. Ha Song-Su was currently fighting Uranus, and despite being weaker than his opponent, Kronos held his own well. And in sooth, it actually looked like the man was slowly cornering the giant.

But that wont be enough. Kim Gil-Gyu decided. The difference in power was too great. Good techniques alone werent enough to defeat Uranus; at this rate, Ha Song-Su, Kronos, might die.

Umm, could you get off me first?

Choi Leah, who was screaming angrily, blushed after realizing she was sitting on Kronos. Flustered, she quickly rose and muttered, But I guess your attack worked.

Kronos looked up. Uranus pained screams were making the sky tremble.

... Kronos saw that one of the giants arms was gone. Uranus wound was raining down blood, but Kronos looked displeased.

Ive failed, said Kronos.

Failed? What the hell do you mean? When Choi Leah asked, Kronos looked confused.

He asked, I thought youre supposed to speak respectfully toward your elders. Am I mistaken?

What? So you think youre my elder? Leah seemed surprised because she didnt expect Kronos to be bothered by her manner of speaking. She became even redder.

My last attack should have killed him, but I wasnt strong enough. I have failed. Its all over now, Kronos continued, not noticing how red Leah looked.

Kronos gloomy face seemed to also bother Leah. She offered in a much more respectful tone, Hmph, all right. Ill help you.

Even if you help me Kronos shook his head, but he couldnt finish his sentence. His eyes widened as he whispered, So you have been hiding your full power as well.

No, not really. I wasnt hiding anything. Looking into Kronos eyes, Leah explained, Some unknown power began surging inside me when you started fighting that giant. It wont be enough to defeat that thing, but it will help.

Kronos nodded, sensing her dense and abundant power.

But I still dont think we can defeat it. My last attack consumed a lot of my strength, said Kronos.

...

Ill buy you as much time as possible, so you should run.

Choi Leah refused to budge. There is nowhere to run anyway. The entire floor has been blocked. No one is coming to save us.

After a short pause, she requested, I have a favor to ask.

A favor? Kronos had no idea what she would ask from him.

I will help however I can since thats our only option. But if we defeat that thing and surviveChoi Leahs sword began glowingplease tell me who you are. I want the truth.

...

All Im asking is for you to tell me what you know. I can tell that you know what that thing is, dont you?

All right. If we survive, I will. Kronos nodded.

Haa I guess the big question isLeah looked at the giantCan we defeat it?

All we can do is try.

They exuded their powers and laid them up like rope. Their eyes met, and Choi Leah murmured, I knew it. There is something between you and that giant, isnt there?

Their powers were meager compared to the giant, but sharing them like this increased its overall strength. Neither Kronos nor Leah had ever experienced something like this before. They began to feel hopeful.

Someone suddenly appeared beside them. You are being dramatic. Do you really have the time to converse like this in the middle of a battlefield?

Kim Gil-Gyu sharply added, I dont remember you being like this. Anyway, we dont have the time to chat leisurely like this. That thing Even I cant take it down.

Kronos asked, Do you know me?

Kim Gil-Gyu became quiet. He frowned, his eyes wavering angrily. We can talk about that later. Right now, I dont have access to all of my power. But since you people are herehe looked at the skywe might have a chance.

Choi Leah asked in annoyance, Do you always talk down to people like that?

Kim Gil-Gyu ignored her, and Kronos nodded. All right.

Then After hearing Kronos answer, Kim Gil-Gyus energy changed suddenly. I order my seal to be unlocked. I shall find my forgotten name and use my power again. I request my seal be unlocked. My name is

Kim Gil-Gyu was mumbling to himself, and with each word spoken, his magic increased.

Jupiter. Suddenly, power exploded inside him.
