Chương 97: Legacy of Time

"An… emperor…" Though Alfonso.

Of course, Alfonso was absolutely interested in this offer, after all, what he lacked now the most was the strength! In the fight against Lucio and Alberto, he couldn't do anything. However…

"Something smells fishy here, in the first place, Chronos isn't exactly the honest Abe so there must be something that he isn't telling me" Though Alfonso.

Chronos just looked at Alfonso with a playful smile. Alfonso felt more insecure.

"There are two things that I make myself clear, before anything…" Said Chronos.

Alfonso listen attentively.

"The first one is, despite I say successor, I would make more sense that I said that you will take my place, in other words… hehe" Chronos stood up and disappear!

Alfonso looked everywhere, suddenly two ballless eyes looked at him. Chronos was in front of him scaring the hell out of him, he wanted to scream but Alfonso realize that he couldn't move.

"You are going to became me, you are the next Chronos" Said Chronos with a sinister smile.

"And the other thing is…" Chronos lifted his arm and put his fingers on the closed eye of Alfonso.

"YOU DON'T HAVE A CHOICE" Said Chronos coldly.

"Wai…wait" Said Alfonso

But it was too late. Chronos insert his fingers inside Alfonso's eye and…

*PUACK*

He extracted his eye!

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Alfonso shouted inside his mind.

He wanted to move but he couldn't.

He wanted to shout but he couldn't,

He wanted to faint but he couldn't.

Chronos saw the painful expression on Alfonso's face and his smile became more pronounced.

With the eye of Alfonso on his hand he closed his palm with force until the eyeball was crushed. He then lifted his pal and put in Alfonso's face, covering his eyeless part.

"Here it comes" Said Chronos.

After receiving the notification of the system, Alfonso felt something that he hadn't felt in his two life. He had murderous intent

"CHRONOS!" Shouted Alfonso while grabbing his injured eye, he hasn't felt so enraged in all his life!

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, I LIKE YOUR EXPRESSION, LITTLE BOY!" Said Chronos while laughing.

When he looked back at Chronos, Alfonso notice that he had changed, Chronos now didn't looked like a child, but he looked more like a teenager, like a 15 to 16-year-old young man.

"Congratulations, you passed the first trial, the cane of Chronos is yours" Said Chronos while the cane that had been floating this whole time, descended towards Alfonso's hand.

"This cane contains the concept of stagnation, once you became familiar with the concept a portal will open and you will leave this dimension, hehe, however, don't take your sweet time in here, you don't have much time after all" Said Chronos.

"I will make you pay for this" Said Alfonso.

"I look forward to that, little boy, see you~" Said Chronos

After that, he disappeared from the place while leaving Alfonso on the dessert with the cane.

"Huh? My eye doesn't hurt anymore…" Though Alfonso.

He slowly opened his eye, he saw small green particles on the air.

"What are those?" Though Alfonso.

He suddenly looked back at the cane of Chronos, the cane looked exactly as before, however, it also felt different, when Alfonso looked at it, it status displayed.

[Cane of Chronos:

Status: 50 % repaired

Thanks to been in the dimension of time, the cane has improved drastically, however, it has absorbed all the power that it could from this dimension, so it had stopped his recovering, to recover completely, host must access to the other dimensions of time.

+New ability Chrono sphere! : The cane of Chronos invoked a 5 radius sphere that trap the enemies and freeze them for 5 seconds.

Cooldown: 3 days

Remark: It doesn't matter the soul level; all creatures will be trapped in the Chrono sphere]

"This…" Alfonso was surprised by the new abilitie of the cane, Alfonso grabbed the cane and felt refreshed and relievable, as he was thirsty and suddenly someone give him a bottle of water.

"I surely have become depended of this cane" Said Alfonso with a bitter smile.

Suddenly, he felt a pain coming from his eye, it was his left eye. He immediately closed it.

"It seems that bastard did something to my eye" Though Alfonso.

He concentrate and open his eye once more, the pain came once again but Alfonso tried to endure it, he put the cane of Chronos in front of him to use it as a mirror, sure enough, the blackness of the pole reflected his face, he saw that his eye has lose its purpleness and was now green what's more, his hair now have some part that were black.

"Damn" Alfonso immediately closed his eye.

"It seems that my soul power isn't enough to maintain my eye open… speaking about it, I don't have any clue what this soul power is or how it works, its seems that I will have to speak with Demeter and Artemis later about this, I cant afford to keep using my powers like before, If I used them recklessly, I will end up hurting myself" Though Alfonso.

He took some time to analyze all the events that happen until now, he took a deep breath and grabbed the cane of Chronos, he closed his eyes and lied down while trying to comprehend the mysteries of the cane and this place.

And so, time passed without Alfonso known it.
