Fall of Kronos (3)

It was a heterogeneous situation.

The emperor who ruled the empire existed alone without any escort.

'Is it a trap?'

It was a reasonable question.

However.

Although he expanded his senses to check the surroundings, except for the emperor, the energy of living things was not captured at all.

It was the same with magical energy.

He couldn't understand his opponent's intentions, but Roman Dmitry didn't care.

whatever you prepared

he won't be able to stop himself

As Roman Dmitry stepped inside, Emperor Kronos let out a muffled voice with difficulty.

" From the beginning, I expected this to happen. The stupid Marquis of Memphis thought that if he worked hard until the end, his way would be opened, but that was only a vain hope. Roman Dmitry. How could the Marquis of Memphis be able to stop a being that Alexander died at the hand of?"

once a time.

Emperor Kronos was a great person.

Although he was an emperor, he rose to the status of an aura swordsman, and everyone said he was born with the greatest talent ever, but now he looks so humble.

As he spoke, he was still gasping for breath.

It was not strange when he died, but his eyes shone as sharply as his eyes in the darkened eyelids.

"I've been wanting to check you out for a while. Why does the being that is encroaching on my consciousness feel infinite reverence for you? Alexander is not someone to respect and fear. A monster that created the aura and ruled the continent for many years. He considers himself the best, but Roman Dmitry has become infinitely small for you."

binge.

emotions were shared.

I don't know what kind of life Alexander had led, but at least I read the agitation that arises whenever he mentions Roman Dmitry.

It was shocking.

Although Alexander is a monster that transcends the limits of human beings, in his relationship with Roman Dmitry, he has accepted the position of an absolute weaker mentally.

that is.

It was heartbreaking.

Not from the outcome of victory or defeat, but Alexander unwittingly considered Roman Dmitry to be above.

"Actually, I still haven't found out the truth about you. What is certain is that Roman Dmitry defeated Alexander and took the capital of Kronos in just one day. That Alexander's awe was not just an unfounded emotion, but that he had no choice but to sincerely acknowledge that you were.

admired

Roman Dmitry.

What seemed impossible became a reality.

As he wandered through the vast sea of the abyss, he came to a conclusion as soon as he regained his own life.

"I, Emperor Kronos, acknowledge your existence. You have the right to destroy me, this Kronos."

I opened my eyes.

Squeezing out his vitality, he exclaimed as if in a frenzy.

"New Absolute. Take my neck in front of everyone!"

the day's work.

I still couldn't forget.

Emperor Cronus, who briefly lost consciousness during the coming-of-age ceremony, suddenly woke up one day.

" What is this?"

Years from the coming-of-age ceremony.

time has been deleted.

In his head, he had vividly recorded how he had lived all this time, but these were not all things that Emperor Cronus thought and judged for himself.

Like a puppet controlled by countless threads. It was moved by someone's intention.

As the years passed, people viewed Emperor Kronos as a symbol of fear and tried to solve the problem even if it was late, thinking that something was wrong.

However.

Once out of the set frame, Emperor Kronos' consciousness was again sucked into the abyss.

gurgle gurgling.

I was out of breath.

It was frustrating.

In the pitch-black darkness, Emperor Kronos lived like a spectator looking into the lives of others.

The unconscious puppet lived the life that Alexander ordered, and sometimes Alexander moved himself.

As the possession was repeated, he realized the terrible reality.

Alexander turned himself into a puppet, and the powerful magic that made Emperor Cronus had no way out of the abyss.

Mind was gnawed

Time passed like a waste of time.

As he looked at his life with his eyes wide open, there was nothing he could do.

Then one day.

there has been a change

Having gained control of his body, Emperor Cronus forced his voice to rectify the mistake he had made.

" no one there I asked if anyone was there!"

summoned people

Then.

"This war was started for wrong reasons. I feel that responsibility, and I will declare a ceasefire."

ended the war

At the time, he believed it was right and thought it was the only way to fight Alexander, who had taken over his consciousness.

It was the truth of Kronos that people did not know.

The sudden declaration of truce, which ended the First Continental War, came about when Emperor Cronus, the master of his body, gained control of his consciousness.

Again.

Consciousness plunged beyond the abyss.

Emperor Cronus, thinking that he had little time left, clenched his teeth and shouted in his heart.

'Alexander. If I ever break free from this damn tyranny of life, I will do the right thing as the Emperor of Kronos. So it will last till the end. Even in the abyss, consciousness will not disappear, and I will wait for the opportunity given to me, even for a moment. As if I declared a truce of my own will, even for a brief moment, your world won't last forever.'

in the abyss.

lost consciousness.

Meanwhile, Emperor Kronos came up with only one name.

'Roman Dmitry.'

someday.

If he gets his life back, it must be because of the existence that Alexander revered.

and currently.

said Emperor Kronos.

"This world has been thrown into chaos because of the Kronos Empire. Society collapsed, and many people were forced to live a hellish reality. As the Emperor of the Kronos Empire, I have no intention of evading that responsibility. It is not something I decided and ordered, but it is an undeniable fact that Alexander is also a member of Kronos."

Alexander.

He was clearly evil.

Although he arbitrarily planned everything, it could not be said that the atrocities he had carried out had nothing to do with the Kronos Empire.

whatever it was

He was also the emperor of Kronos.

Alexander, who founded the aura and laid the foundation for the empire, was a symbolic figure who could be said to be Kronos himself.

How can you deny such existence?

If people were looking for an object of resentment in the harsh reality, they had no choice but to mention Alexander and Cronus, where he was born and raised.

so that.

Emperor Cronus accepted reality.

"I thought a lot in the abyss. In order for this country and the world to move in the right direction, what I must do as a puppet for the rest of my life. After much deliberation, I came to the conclusion that I must die meaningfully. Due to repeated possession, my vitality has already reached its limit. Rather than desperately trying to maintain this life that I do not know when I will die, I want to end my life of being ugly with value in a worthwhile way."

Parr.

My body trembled.

My eyelids kept closing, and I wanted to vomit everything right away from the strong aura rising from within.

Not yet.

Not yet.

Since he had so much to say, Emperor Cronus forcibly grabbed the string of consciousness and told him why he remained here alone.

"Kill me in front of everyone. By killing me, who represents the Dark Ages, claim all the glory of the Kronos Empire. The fame of the empire, the territory of the empire, my people. Whoever kills me, who has brought the continent to ruin like Alexander, will be able to possess them all."

after death.

A being who will rule this land after him.

Choosing the future of Kronos was the best thing the Emperor Cronus could do, who was about to die.

The truth was it was embarrassing.

Although he did nothing wrong, it was not easy to accept the fact that he had to be sacrificed in this miserable reality.

If given one chance.

If there were still days to live, Emperor Kronos would have bowed his head and swore allegiance to somehow continue his life.

knowing it's impossible.

accepted reality.

However.

"I decline your offer."

The reply that came back shocked Emperor Kronos.

* * *

Emperor Kronos.

He was a character with many stories.

He knew his situation, his decision, and that nothing was easy, but there was no reason to listen to his wishes.

" Dude, what the hell is that?"

Emperor Kronos asked with a trembling voice.

Just a suggestion.

The opponent had nothing to lose.

He said he would sacrifice his head and die as a symbol of evil.

Roman Dmitry said.

"People sometimes fall into that illusion. The illusion that you can decide something for yourself. Emperor Kronos. You are a history of defeat. You and the successive emperors of Kronos were incompetent, so they were ruled by Alexander, and innocent people had to bear the damage. But why do I have to inherit your will? If you hadn't put a knife to your neck, your words might be persuasive. But now, you don't have any other options.

"Roman Dmitry! I'm not talking about winning or losing. My heart to accept death, my determination to admit defeat. Is it so funny to you!"

I opened my eyes.

In the seething anger, he vomited out intense emotions.

understood.

For Emperor Cronus, that decision must have been the best.

"So it is an illusion. For a loser, reality is bound to be absurd."

past life.

Roman Dmitry peaked from the bottom.

Unlike Emperor Cronus, he did not live the life of a ruler who could decide something every time.

"Emperor Kronos. You were given the life of a decision maker from birth, so you must consider this situation abnormal. Most people live irrational lives. Because he was a commoner, because he was not born with talent. Accept the mistakes made by decision makers and accept them as a daily routine. Your life now, your situation. This is an unreasonable reality you have to accept. From the moment Kronos lost control of the calamity of Alexander, you were not a pitiful being living a miserable life alone, but a life of a loser just like any other normal person."

The story of Emperor Kronos.

was not sublime.

He could be pitiful, but there was no reason to make his life special.

finally.

He just lost.

He succumbed to Alexander and lost control of his own life.

It was clear that it was a sad and tragic story for me.

It was a pity that he was born as the successor of the Kronos Empire, which had already been swallowed up by a huge plan, and that his life was devoured without any rebellion.

However, if you think about changing your status, it is not that you have lived a miserable life.

Unlike Kevin, who was born weak and took life for granted, Emperor Kronos had at least the right to decorate the end of his life because he was born as the heir to the imperial family.

That is.

It's true.

So I didn't accept it.

The fact that Emperor Cronus had made such a decision at any time did not want others to be glorified.

"History should not take pity on today. You will remain an incompetent emperor ruled by Alexander, and your noble sacrifices for the Empire will not be remembered. That way, people will want a leader who is strong and will not be shaken by any threat. That's the future I want. There is no room for you to be glorified, and this moment will exist entirely for me."

" what it is."

Emperor Kronos' eyes fluttered.

never once.

I never thought like Roman Dmitry.

It is no different now, but he was not given the right to control the situation.

"Emperor Kronos. In a place no one will remember, you die so helpless."

flash.

blown his neck

Emperor Kronos.

It was a vain and shabby end that he did not wish for.

* * *

The floor was stained with blood.

Averting his gaze from the shabby corpse, Roman Dmitry stepped outside without any regrets.

which one.

You might call yourself cruel.

Even the end that Emperor Cronus, who had lived in the abyss for the rest of his life, who accepted death at the end, did not allow it.

But as a leader, I had to separate compassion from reality.

No matter how bizarre he had a story, he could not know what kind of ripple effect the story he would leave behind.

Last one.

It makes sense because there is no next page.

There was no reason to leave room to glorify the past of the loser in the future he would build.

If you think about it, it was really sad.

Others were given the opportunity to decide their lives, but Emperor Kronos was not even given such an opportunity.

When he faced Roman Dmitry without running away.

Dragging him like a dog and not killing him horribly was the least polite way to show an enemy who stood there until the end.

come out

Lucas came over and said.

"We found traces of the Marquis of Memphis. It seems that he hid himself in a secret room."

the not-too-distant future.

The Marquis of Memphis will face a grim reality.

Unlike Emperor Cronus, the reality that he would never die gracefully.

Roman Dmitry said coldly.

"Guide me. I will go myself."
