" I WILL NEVER FORGET THIS DISGRACE!"

As Chaos Knight finish his last remark, his body surround by a magical portal that will unsummon him because he already fail his task to defend the throne.

When Chrono saw Chaos knight about to do the unsummon rites, Chrono quickly take out a high level healing potion that will replenish his health fully.He drank the potion before he spoke again.

"Not so fast!"

Then Chrono take out a rifle, 'winchester' from the portal. When he robbed the Grand Safe before, he managed to get a few artifact level gun and the rifle, 'winchester' was one of them.

Chrono aim the rifle to Chaos Knight before he blast him with gun. Since Chaos Knight can't move from the unsummoning portal, he can't dodge the attack.

BANG!!

Headshot!

Critical Hit!

And because of the gun recoil, Chrono body knocked back a little, gaining some distance from the knight. He take out a few 'remedy' from the portal and quickly throw it to Jurek's three henchmen so they can heal and enchant their fellow 'BloodBrothers' to prepared for another round of battle.

"Hahaha!!! That guy was a nutcase."

"I knew he would not leave it like that"

"Guys! Prepared for the second round!"

Bewildered by Chrono's attack, Chaos Knight let out a fearsome war cry.

"HOW DARE YOU!!"

Being an intelligent type high level guardian, Chaos Knight can cancel his own reverse summoning circle at will. Since Chrono was the one attacking him when he about to unsummon himself, Chaos Knight have a reason again to fight even though he already failed his job on defending the throne.

Chaos Knight take no time to charge to Chrono, but his movement was stopped by Jurek and other 'BloodBrothers' members.

Jurek who have high natural health and defense combined with buff and heal from his henchmens make him almost invincible. But even with that, he still looks desperate whenever he tried to defend against Chaos Knight attack.

Rather then overpowering Chaos Knight with numbers and attack from all direction, all of the 'BloodBrothers' members busying themselves defending against Chaos Knight life lightning speed life threatening strike.

Chrono knows that his decision aggravating Chaos Knight was a bad idea. If he just let Chaos Knight unsummon himself peacefully, 'BloodBrothers' already won.

But he is a gamer that loves challenge. In the past, instead of beating the high level boss monster with highest level character and top class equipment like everyone else, he love to beat the boss monster with lower level character and crappy equipment.

It was one of the reason Chrono was so famous as a gamer. Everybody can beat the game but only a few can beat the challenged.

From the fastest one in beating a game to challenging hardest boss with level 1 character, Chrono has done it all. And most of the time, he always the first one who did it.

Besides, he knows the merchant and the underworld leaders still watching him through the 'world orbs' he need to prove to them that he is worthy to become the next emperor by showing his wits and battle prowess.

( And for some reason I had the feeling that I have to fight him now.)

Instead of charging towards Chaos Knight like his clan member, Chrono just observe the fight between his clans mate and Chaos Knight.

The only way for him to beat the knight was by predicting his every move accurately so he can dodge and counter the guardian attack.

He already carefully observe Chaos Knight fighting pattern before when he was defending the throne, but once he saw Chaos Knight fight again, he finally cleared his doubt.

(It's like I thought, he didn't change his way of fighting, if it's this much, I think I can handle it.)

Once he confirmed Chaos Knight fighting pattern, Chrono take out a heavy spear and looked for any chance to throw it.

Woosh!!

pang....

"HMMM?"

"It's a chance!"

shing!!, shing!!

The spear itself doesn't have much damaged, but it was enough to distract Chaos Knight and create a chance for other clans mate to attack.

With the battle tactic, Chaos Knight health was chipped little by little overtime. Chrono keep on distracting the guardian with his spear throw while the rest of the clan fight Chaos Knight in organized manner.

Chaos Knight health already low enough from the previous fight and the two gun shots from Aramis and Chrono, now his health downed further to 10%.

Once his health reach 10%, Chaos Knight suddenly change his stance to unleash an omega skill.

"DIE!! ALL OF YOU!!"

Suddenly, Chaos Knight release an AOE attack like before, but it was a lot more powerful and have greater range.

Jurek realized the incoming danger, he cried before taking a defensive stance himself.

"Everyone! Brace yourself!!"

'EARTH SHATTER'

BOOOMM!!!!

The castle holding them inside was destroyed in a matter of seconds. As if the castle was never existed, everyone was outside at the open area.

The 'TerraNorth' members surrounded them but since they can't attack the 'BloodBrothers' members, they can only observe the epic fight between the 'BloodBrothers' and Chaos Knight.

The max level 'BloodBrothers' members luckily survived the attack although everyone of them in critical conditioned.

And the lower level members also in critical though they escape death by not staying closer to the attack. There's only one person staying close enough to the attack despite having lower level.

His normal cloth worn out, his skull mask shattered to the point his upper right corner off his face was shown, and his body was lying on the ground, unmoved.....

"""Chrono!!!"""

********

The 'BloodBrothers' have no time to grieve for Chrono and revive spell was almost non existence in Emperor Saga since the spell only can be wield by some hidden class.

The only thing they can do was keep on fighting Chaos Knight. Now even the lower level of the 'BloodBrothers' members also join the fight by assisting the higher level with low level spell and attack from the rear.

Since almost everyone was an experienced member, they fight in a proper organized formation and Jurek swift command to make sure the fight goes on their favor.

Even with endless fierce attacks from all sides and his health reaching a critical conditioned, Chaos Knight still maintained his dignity by defending the attacks and still managed to counter most of the attacks.

Chaos Knight health definitely getting lower but as his health getting lower, his attacks getting more lethal. And he shows no sign of getting tired.

After almost 8 hours of fighting, Chaos Knight health already reached 1% but the rest of the 'BloodBrothers' was on their knees.

Health and mana was not the issue. But the lack of stamina after 8 hours of fighting the guardian make it all of the members can't even lift their weapon anymore.

"It's.......it's the end!"

"Everyone of us will get wipe out!"

As they are in despair, they closed their eyes waiting to get killed.Dying in a game was not a big deal, but since they are so close to slayed Chaos Knight, it was a great upset to them.

When all of the 'BloodBrothers' members helplessly on their knees, and Chaos Knight about to finishes one of the 'BloodBrothers' members.When Chaos Knight about to swing his sword, suddenly he felt a weird movement from one of the 'BloodBrothers' members.

No one should be able to stand anymore, without proceeding the attack, Chaos Knight look at where he felt the weird movement.

Under the moonlight, a man wearing shattered skull mask and tattered blood red robe stand. Like a reaper straight out from hell, that man look at Chaos Knight with his blood red eyes.

8 hours ago.

When he woke up, he saw nothing but darkness. The place was nothing like his home where he supposed to be since he thought his character already died from the last attack of the Chaos Knight.

"( A game glitch? I really hope not, I want to see the fight progress through the internet.)"

It felt like a game but to some extend it fell like reality, he saw nothing but darkness. But for some reason he knows instead of Chrono, he walk around as Daniel.

"( No user interface to ask for help and I cant to anything in this darkness, Dammit!!)"

As Daniel felt frustrated by the current circumstance, suddenly a figure spawn in front of him. The dim light from the spawning portal make it possible for Daniel to see clearly the man in front of him.

The figure was a man wearing a dark rob with blood red line. The man face was not visible as he wear the mask.

Any other man would felt happy if they saw someone else beside them in that hopeless situation. In fact, Daniel would felt the same if he didn't know whose the man in front of him.

He never met the man himself, but if there's any truth in memories he used to received, the man in front of him was a terrifying man that no normal person wishes to meet.

His body figure, his dark rob with blood red line and his signature terrifying masked. Daniel has no doubt on who the one standing in front of him.

"(....Dark Lord!!)"

Daniel tried to act calm, the dark lord may not know about his memories. He approached the man that he considered as the dark lord and tried to act as normal as he can.

"......Who....are you?"

"......What the..... I put some effort to look like this so you don't need to ask that stupid question."

"(He knows!!)"

"Ehem!, Let me introduced myself officially since you only know me from the memories."

"........"

"I hate revealing my real name since I love privacy. but you can call me Mister Vlad. And as you can guess, I am the creator of this game."

".........."

"You don't need to worry, for now just considered me as an ally and everything will be fine."

"After you said it like that I can't help but getting suspicious."

"Huh! You don't have any choice anyway, I'm just here to warn you. The extra program I will put on you later would put a toll on your real body. Just grit your teeth when that's happen."

"Extra program?"

"Yes, like it or not you will become my 'weapon'. And to become my 'weapon', I need to download some extra program in your character. That's why instead of looking like Chrono, I let you used your real appearance."

"Wait a minute, so I'm still in the game?"

"Yes, and your character still alive."

"So you make it so my character become immortal? Being the creator sure is a convenience huh."

"Not even close, even as the creator I can't control the game at my free will. Its just that luck or in this case, rng* are on your side."

"I will worry about your program later, just hurry up and do it so I can get back there to fight."

"Fufufu...you really are one twisted bastard. Other people will try to refuse as hard as they can.

"Like you said, I have no choice. I can't do anything about that. Besides, it looks like you need me for now. I don't think that programs of yours will effect me badly at least for now.

"Exactly. Now grit your teeth, I'm about to download the program now.It may take awhile though."

BZZZTT!!

"Wha........AAARRRGHH!!!!!!!."

*********

8 hours later.

From his disbelieves, only one words came out from Chaos Knight mouth.

One can barely saw that behind the shattered skull masked, Chrono was smiling.
