Although the Soul Assurer dodged Kronos's blade, this reaction ultimately delayed his movements.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Kronos turned around and threw a punch at the fist coming from behind.

This is the person who was following behind us; he is a Wind-blessed on the Tyrant Pathway.

Logically speaking, this Pathway of fighter is very strong, although most of their fighting ability lies in their ability to control wind and lightning, their physical attributes are also quite good.

However, upon closer inspection, one can see that there is a black gauntlet on the fist that Kronos threw at him.

Those Wind-blessed may have good physical attributes, but they certainly can't compete with those who have maxed out their physical Pathway.

While the Black Emperor Pathway doesn't rely on physical attributes as an advantage in the later stages, it absolutely maximizes physical attributes in the early stages.

Kronos sent the Wind-blessed flying with a single punch, and at that moment, the Soul Assurer had already approached him, preparing to unleash Requiem.

Kronos had used this skill through the Scroll before and knew how troublesome it was, so he couldn't be allowed to use it.

He clenched his fist and immediately activated the Distortion skill.

Distortion can construct a certain Order that is favorable to oneself by Distortion the meaning of the target's language, actions, and intentions, thereby achieving the purpose of restricting or influencing the opponent, and can Distortion the direction and target of the opponent's attack.

Therefore, Kronos directly Distortion the target of the Soul Assurer's attack, Requiem skill landed directly on the Wind-blessed was charging at Kronos from behind once again.

Originally, a Wind-blessed, filled with rage and wanting to tear Kronos apart, stood still after a Requiem, his head heavy, nodding sleepily.

The Soul Assurer is quite restrained when it comes to those who are Pathway with fighting. If it's Pathway else, like Cowardly Trio or Visionary, they would have a pretty good resistance to this kind of skill.

Even if Kronos had suffered a bit and his mind had gone blank, and his condition hadn't been good, it certainly wouldn't have come to this.

It seemed that this Wind-blessed couldn't hold on any longer and soon fell asleep.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kronos also activated one of his Requiem Scroll, which landed directly on the Wind-blessed.

At this point, the Soul Assurer realized he had attacked the wrong person and naturally quickly dispelled his skill.

However, Kronos seamlessly continued the process, completely restoring the Requiem.

The power of Scroll's skills is ultimately weaker than that of a real person using them. If it were Soul Assurer, they could gradually and completely pull the Wind-blessed into Dream Infiltration.

Kronos's Requiem Scroll cannot achieve such an effect, but it can still maintain the Wind-blessed in its current state for a short period of time.

This freed up Kronos to deal with the Soul Assurer.

A slash came hurtling towards the Soul Assurer, but the Sequence was incredibly fast, dodging the blade with lightning speed.

While the Distortion Gauntlet can enhance Kronos's physical attributes, it primarily improves strength, offering limited benefits to speed.

Therefore, to defeat this Soul Assurer, you must have appropriate methods to restrict him; otherwise, it will be very difficult to defeat him.

Kronos immediately took out another Scroll and was about to activate it.

By this time, the Soul Assurer had already realized that most of Kronos's abilities were contained in the Scroll, so he decisively made a move to seize the Scroll.

Kronos was pleasantly surprised; he had identified his target, which made the attack much easier.

The Bright Light War Blade slashed decisively towards the path that the Soul Assurer was bound to take.

I don't know what got into this Soul Assurer, that he'd rather get slashed than not snatch the Scroll from his hand.

The Scroll wasn't particularly valuable to Kronos, so he didn't bother protecting Scroll and let the Soul Assurer take Scroll. However, the Bright Light War Blade slashed viciously at the Soul Assurer's right arm.

This strike nearly severed the Soul Assurer's right arm completely; upon closer inspection, only a bit of skin and flesh remained connecting it, the bone completely broken.

The Soul Assurer had snatched the Scroll quickly retreated, stopping five steps away from Kronos.

Kronos asked curiously, "Why would you rather take a knife than not steal my Scroll?"

The Soul Assurer said smugly, "This Scroll is your Beyonder Item, isn't it? Its abilities are truly impressive, allowing you to use so many Beyonder Ability. But I've taken it from you; let's see what you do now."

"Uh..." Kronos was momentarily speechless, then asked, "Do you think it's possible that this thing is disposable, and I have a lot of it?"

After saying that, Kronos took out an identical Scroll from the Mystic Pouch.

The Soul Assurer glanced at the Scroll in Kronos's hand, then at the one in his own, and his "Dao Heart Collapsed" instantly.

Without hesitation, Kronos activated the Scroll in his hand.

A stream of water appeared out of thin air and directly wrapped around the Soul Assurer's body; this was the Wind-blessed's water control technique.

This current of water won't be very strong; Soul Assurer of Sequence 6 should be able to break free easily.

But even if it's easy, it can still delay the Soul Assurer for two seconds.

For Kronos, two seconds is enough.

The blade was aimed directly at the Soul Assurer's head.

The Soul Assurer knew he couldn't escape when he was entangled in the situation.

So in his final moments, he shouted, "Still playing dead? Do you think he'll let you go? Hurry up and make your move!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth Soul Assurer's head was split in two.

Kronos had absolutely no intention of negotiating; his sole aim was to kill them all.

With someone dead, the two old men lying on the ground no longer harbored any illusions, so they got up.

The Soul Assurer's final words not only roused the two old men, but also awakened the dazed Wind-blessed.

In just two or three minutes, Kronos went from fighting five opponents to fighting three.

Kronos looked at the two old men who had just gotten up and asked, "Aren't you going to consider running away? That Wind-blessed could easily delay me for a while. You two might even be able to get to town. The people in the Church might even take you in."

It's unclear how this Dream Stealer rose to his position; he probably lacks any combat experience. Just one sentence from Kronos was enough to sway him.

The Hypnotist, however, saw things clearly and said loudly, "You were able to finish the fight so quickly against five opponents. If we run away, can he hold out for five minutes by himself? How far can we run in five minutes?"

"Besides, with all your money, I wouldn't believe you have no status. I have no idea who those church staff will side with in the end."

This wasn't a reply to Kronos, but rather a shout to his two companions. In this situation, if the three of them didn't have a firm will to fight the enemy, they would be defeated one by one.

Looking at the man in front of him, carrying War Blade and covered in splattered blood, the Hypnotist found it hard to believe he would show mercy.

After the Hypnotist finished saying those words, the Dream Stealer also came to his senses and immediately reached out his hand towards Kronos.

He was, after all, a Sequence 5, and the Decree activated by Kronos could not limit him for too long; the time had already expired.

So he directly used the Steal skill on Kronos, stealing Kronos's thoughts at that moment.

This ability can steal an idea that the other person is about to put into practice, causing them to freeze briefly. However, during this phase, the stolen idea cannot be retained, and the person must take action in place of the stolen idea.

He did this to render Kronos dazed, creating an opportunity for his two companions to attack.

However, he really lacked experience in combat, and his two companions were also unaware of his abilities, so neither of them knew what he was doing.

But Kronos knew him well. Although he was afraid of Amon, he felt deep down that Amon was still very powerful and that his skills were cool, so he had specifically looked them up.

The moment the Dream Stealer raised his hand, he knew what the person was going to do, so he forcibly instilled in himself the idea of hitting the Hypnotist's head hard.

This was quite a show. Kronos was momentarily stunned, but the other two didn't know that the Hypnotist might have been able to observe something from the front. However, before he could observe, the Dream Stealer next to him struck him on the head. As for the Wind-blessed standing behind Kronos, out of caution, he didn't move.

When Kronos awoke from his daze, the Wind-blessed was staring in shock at his two companions, both of whom wore the same blank expression, except one was standing while the other was lying on the ground, rolling around with his head in his hands.

Kronos could roughly guess what had happened, but it didn't matter now; such a good opportunity would be wasted if he didn't seize it.

So Kronos, sword in hand, charged straight at the Dream Stealer.

The Dream Stealer was still in shock at what he had done, and the Hypnotist was still soothing his injured head; neither of them noticed Kronos's actions.

However, the Wind-blessed was the most experienced in combat, so he Consciousness it.

He snapped out of his shock and was about to attack Kronos from behind to save his companion.

Three wind Wind Blade shot directly towards Kronos's back. This was the most powerful attack Sequence the Wind-blessed. If it landed, it could cut Kronos in two... no, not in four!

Kronos had decent combat experience; the sound of Wind Blade cutting through the air reached his ears immediately, but instead of dodging, he revealed a slight smile.
