Battle Begins

Through Olnia's relay, Kronos exchanged several letters with Van Aisting, giving a general overview of the situation and urging Old Fan to pay closer attention.

That's why the God of Steam and Machinery didn't find anything; otherwise, with a little investigation, Old Fan, this imposter, would have been exposed.

After explaining everything, Kronos spent some time practicing controlling his power.

It's important to understand that disguising oneself as a Sequence 4 Mysticologist is not an easy task.

This is not something that Kronos can handle by simply using magic throughout the entire area.

Although he has changed his Pathway, his original power will naturally increase after the Sequence is upgraded.

Let alone the magic of the Mysticologist, even the Astrology Power that was previously studied has already become much stronger.

Therefore, Kronos needs to control his magical power and absolutely must not cross the Sequence 4 line.

Not only the power of magic, but also the style of magic needs to be selected.

It's fine when it's used on other people, but using Fairy Tale Magic right under Bernadette's nose is like running right into the culprit.

These Fairy Tale were originally told to Bernadette by Emperor Roselle.

Bernadette created these Fairy Tale Magic Fairy Tale.

Although Kronos's Fairy Tale Magic is all his own creation, it should differ somewhat from Bernadette's version.

However, its form and core are basically the same.

Bernadette could tell at a glance.

At that time, Bernadette will definitely delve into the relationship between Kronos and Emperor Roselle.

Kronos, on the other hand, completely brought trouble upon himself.

Therefore, it's best not to use these Fairy Tale Magic.

Fortunately, the Playing Cards Castle, Feign Death Escape, and the God's Avatar were all original creations of Kronos. In addition, the "Betrayal Banquet," inspired by the death of the Ancient Sun God, meant that Kronos was not entirely without magic.

His Ancestor had also Record several spells from the Moses Ascetic Order, but Kronos didn't think much of them and so he didn't learn them.

This was a good opportunity to learn something new and make up for what I lacked.

After arriving at the appointed time with Bernadette, Kronos left his home and headed to the headquarters of the Moses Ascetic Order.

This stronghold is located in a Jungle in the Republic of Intis, a place rarely visited by people. If it weren't for the Coordinates given by the God of Steam and Machinery, Kronos would never have imagined that there would be a stronghold of the Moses Ascetic Order here.

But to be honest, the style here is actually quite suitable for the Moses Ascetic Order.

Most members of the Moses Ascetic Order follow the Hermit Pathway, so exploring esoteric knowledge is the most suitable thing for them to do.

For example, the deceased Laticia Dorella disguised herself as an archaeologist and entered the ancient Elven Ruins in order to explore more knowledge.

This Jungle also has an Ancient charm, and Kronos wouldn't be surprised if there were any Ruins here.

Kronos arrived first and conducted a preliminary investigation, ultimately confirming that a force was indeed entrenched in the Jungle.

They can see the sentries, both visible and hidden, hidden in the Jungle, and the majority of those who Hermit Pathway are Beyonder.

This means that at least half of the Message given by the God of Steam and Machinery is accurate. As for the strength of the power involved, Kronos did not dare to openly investigate.

After all, there's a high probability that there's Demigod among them, and most likely a mystical scholar from the Hermit Pathway.

If you were to scan with your Eyes of Mystery Prying, the chances of being discovered are quite high.

So Kronos waited to the side for Bernadette to arrive.

There might actually be some unspoken understanding between the two; Kronos had just rested for a while when Bernadette arrived with the Dawn of Elements.

The two didn't exchange many words, only nodding to each other before focusing on their own interests.

Kronos's gaze swept lightly over the group of people behind Bernadette, and he felt quite satisfied.

Although the number of them is small, each one is Beyonder in the Mid-Sequence, and most of them are high-attack Pathway such as God of Combat, Red Priest, and Tyrant.

As for the Hermit and Wheel of Fortune Pathway members controlled by Dawn of Elements himself, there were relatively few of them. There were still a few Hermit Pathway, but none of the Wheel of Fortune Pathway came.

This makes sense.

The Wheel of Fortune Pathway seems mysterious, but its attack power is only average.

They possess high Spirituality, so learning Ancient witchcraft would be much more effective, but even so, their combat power is still lacking.

Therefore, Bernadette's elite team truly does not need Beyonder from the Wheel of Fortune Pathway.

Kronos was focused on the people behind Bernadette, while Bernadette was focused on the situation at the outpost.

Unlike Kronos, Bernadette's eyes naturally lit up as she scanned the Jungle.

In terms of understanding the Hermit Pathway, Bernadette certainly far surpasses Kronos, so it's impossible that she would do anything that would be noticed by those inside the stronghold.

She did this entirely because it was impossible for the people inside to detect it.

Bernadette is already Sequence 3, Eyes of Mystery Prying ' scanning ability is definitely stronger. But even so, there's still a certain chance she'll be detected when scanning a Sequence 4.

But Bernadette is not scanning the internal situation; she is peering into Fate.

Judging the situation in this stronghold by observing Fate is a good choice, as it is more secretive and less likely to be discovered.

After Bernadette's gaze faded, she looked at Kronos and said, "That Demigod inside seems quite powerful. Are you sure you don't need my help?"

After "saving" Sharf, Bernadette's affection for Kronos reached its peak; otherwise, she wouldn't have asked that question.

She felt that Kronos was just a newly promoted Sequence 4, and that it would be easy for him to suffer losses if he rashly faced a veteran.

This also shows that Kronos disguised himself very well; even when Bernadette was face to face, she didn't notice anything amiss.

Kronos chuckled and said, "It's precisely because my strength is slightly lacking that I need to hone myself."

"If I really can't beat him by then, then I might really need your help, but I can't just have you take care of him directly."

Kronos's attitude was definitely feigned; he had to make a move, otherwise how could he prove that he was just an ordinary Sequence 4?

Although he didn't know if Stiano was watching him, he definitely had to play his part fully.

Bernadette appreciated Kronos's explanation and therefore did not try to stop him.

Under Bernadette's orders, the Dawn of Elements personnel acted swiftly, eliminating the visible and hidden sentry posts on the outskirts of the Jungle one by one.

Faced with these powerful Mid-Sequence fighters, the members of the Moses Ascetic Order were powerless to retaliate.

And so, Kronos entered the Jungle without any obstacles.

As they ventured deeper, the surrounding scenery gradually confirmed Kronos's predictions.

Although there were no obvious traces of Ruins, Kronos saw many Record from the Third Epoch period about the Ancient Sun God on some weathered boulders.

The reason the Moses Ascetic Order established its headquarters here is most likely because of this esoteric knowledge.

Soon, Kronos arrived at the entrance to a cave.

The Dawn of Elements had finished eliminating all the outposts in the Jungle and had gathered here.

At this point, it was practically an open secret, so Kronos stopped worrying and Eyes of Mystery Prying to look directly into the cave.

There was clearly a fairly large space inside the cave, and quite a few people were inside.

The number of people is similar to that of the Dawn of Elements, but some of the people in the cave are of Low Sequence, so they don't pose much of a threat to the Dawn of Elements forces.

The most conspicuous figure in the cave was the Demigod. Kronos glanced at him and sensed that this person's strength was somewhat threatening.

Of course, this threat refers to Kronos, who has just been promoted to Demigod, not to Kronos, who has already become Scholar of Yore.

After briefly assessing the Demigod's strength, Kronos retrieved the Tyrant's Roar from his Mask Space and put on the Manipulation Gloves.

If feigned strength isn't enough to subdue him, then the only option is to use Beyonder Item to suppress him.

Not all Demigod possess so many Beyonder Item, making this a complete annihilation for ordinary Demigod.

After Kronos was ready, he led his group into the cave.

The cave was a fairly large space, and it looked like a place of worship, where the Ancient Sun God was worshipped.

Clearly, this Ruins is quite old, dating back to the Third Epoch period.

The people in the cave were also prepared to deal with Kronos and his group.

When Kronos and his men first entered the Jungle, they were quite far away and hadn't made any preparations. But now that they've reached the very entrance, it's impossible that they weren't prepared.

As Kronos led the way into the cave, the Demigod of the Moses Ascetic Order spoke, "Who are you? Why do you disturb our peace?"

If it weren't for the God of Steam and Machinery forcing him, Kronos wouldn't have bothered putting on this show. But since he's here, he has to give an explanation.

"We come from the Dawn of Elements, do we need a reason to wipe you out?"

This was the agreement that Kronos and Bernadette had reached before launching the attack.

In reality, it was just making Dawn of Elements the scapegoat. If Bernadette hadn't had such a good impression of Kronos at the time, she wouldn't have agreed.

But since he agreed, Kronos must have made this promise crystal clear.

Upon hearing this, the Demigod of the Moses Ascetic Order knew that things were not going to end well.

The grudge between the two organizations was indeed too deep, mainly due to the Hidden Sage's responsibility. However, as a member of the Moses Ascetic Order, he could not blame his god, so he could only bear it.

So, after learning who the opponent was, the Demigod waved his hand and said, "Then let's fight!"

This person's ascension to Demigod wasn't a matter of just a day or two; he's a veteran with a wealth of experience.

Seeing that his side was weaker than his opponent, he decided to go all out and kill several of the opposing team's Sequence 5 first, which would also help to even out the situation.

With a flick of his Spirituality, the gun appeared in his hand, and he fired it at the first few Sequence 5 on Kronos's side.

Kronos immediately recognized that this was no Beyonder Item, but a spell.

Kronos didn't slow down at all; he unleashed Tyrant's Roar, and Lightning formed a barrier in front of him.

This barrier didn't exist for long, but it easily intercepted all of the opponent's attacks.

The first attack failed, and the plan to wipe out the opponent's fighting force naturally failed. The Demigod of the Moses Ascetic Order could only focus their energy on Kronos in front of them.

He then unleashed another spell, and a burst of intense light erupted in mid-air, as if a Sun had crashed down.

Kronos recognized this magic because his Ancestor had received it from the Moses Ascetic Order.

This magic is called the Sun Descends into the World, and it was created based on the birth of the Ancient Sun God.

According to the Ancestor ' records, this was the strongest magic of the Moses Ascetic Order back then, but it's hard to say what it is now.

The magic of Mysticologist has a unique characteristic: the fewer people who know about it, the greater its power; the more people who know about it, the less powerful the magic itself becomes, even if it is very strong.

The birth of the Ancient Sun God is no longer a big secret, so the power of this magic is quite different from its Original story.

Seeing that the "Sun" was about to crash down, Kronos unleashed all the power he could muster, and a bolt of Lightning struck it down.

The spell looked incredibly powerful, but once the Lightning touched it, Kronos realized that its core was actually quite hollow.

The powerful Lightning pierced through the "Sun," causing it to disintegrate in mid-air.

Logically, this should have been the time for Kronos to seize the opportunity and launch a fierce attack, but Kronos did not do so.

Because the negative effects of the Tyrant's Roar have arrived.

Kronos 'Kronos body crackled with electricity, causing him to shudder.

Of course, this was all a state that Kronos deliberately presented.

This Tyrant's Roar is merely Sequence 4 Beyonder Item; the 70% backlash shouldn't hinder a Sequence 3's mobility.
