□ ■ Wangdu Althea and downtown

The king capital of the kingdom of Alter was in the midst of chaos.

Suddenly, an army of aliens appeared in the city and began attacking people.

A humanoid monster resembling a bee. Advanced Body Ideas Modified by [True Image Modification Ideas] - [Apis (Bee) Ideas].

The total number is better than 500 bodies.

"BUBUBU......"

"Ahhhhhhh...!?"

Colored by yellow and black red red red red flags, the reformers are scattered throughout the city, attacked by an eyed tian, pierced and killed with spears and misleading body organs.

"Damn it! Let me do this any more!

Even if the guards of Wang Du pull out their swords and slash them on [Apis Idea]... only slight scratches can be found on the stubborn shell covering their bodies.

The resistance of such guards is easily dismissed, and [Apis Idea] repeats the killing.

The released [Apis idea] is a mass produced modification, but its status exceeds that of the subdragon class and is comparable to that of the 500-level < master > that obtained the C-rank correction - about twice the status correction of Tian.

It wasn't enough to fathom the Wang Du guards, but enough to force them to struggle even though they stayed in Wang Du.

But some of them were able to fight even slightly.

"BUBUBU...... BU?

One arrow falls at the center of the three [Apis Idea] who continue on the main road of the Wang du in search of the victims as they raise the sound of a bird's chirp...... the arrow.

Immediately thereafter,

"Match... Synchronize!

Thousands of arrows descend on the [Apis Idea] as they follow the orbit of the arrows.

It's called "May Rain Arrow Feather," the skill of a senior position in Heaven and Earth [Heavy Bow Samurai, a strong bow martial artist].

Release that skill of 100 arrows in one shot by 30 people and superimpose it as a 3000 arrow.

Weared by arrows a thousand times their number, the shell that covers them is pierced, and the three [Apis Idea] are desperate.

Shortly after, [Apis Idea] expanded from the inside, causing a huge explosion.

"Again, these guys seem to explode when they die"

"... not only does it look like it, but it looks like it's an old special shot to that point"

Two women exchanged words like that as they watched [Apis Idea] explode.

They rank third in the kingdom's clan rankings and belong to the PK clan.

Among them was the leader of the group tactical group responsible for shooting by a large number and his aides.

There are many immatures on the way to higher levels in the group tactics, but they are veterans who command them.

That is why < K&R > has been a fierce man since he was running around in heaven and earth as a PK clan led by the Wolf Cherry Blossom.

"It sounds like the Troop Tactical Group is struggling with that explosion, too. Looks like they took a couple of people down the road."

"Then we will continue to distance ourselves and ensure that we do. So, other than us, where else can we fight it?

On the occasion of the Wang Capital terrorist attack by the [Bandit King] 's unleashed alterer, < K&R >, a clan based in Wang Capital, was responding immediately with a member who was logged in.

Almost all of its members are combat builds < K&R > were fighting [Apis Idea] as a major force in this situation.

"Tian seems to have a terrible power difference. Besides, there seems to have been some noise in the Royal Castle, and the Knights seem to be concentrating that way."

As the leader turns his gaze to the castle, black smoke rises from the castle.

It was obviously under attack.

"He said only one unit of troop tactics headed to the Royal Castle, but after a report that he had 'turned to the fiery monster', he lost touch. Looking at my friend's list, he's still logged out. He seems to have been hit. What do you want to do?

"... which way, our tactics cannot be used indoors. I'll leave you to the other masters. So, what about the other clans?

"It seems that most of the skilled combat members are turning to the example escort. The rest of us don't seem to be able to handle that bee human opponent."

"You destroyed us in that case..."

"Because the mass battle over there sounds like a prerequisite for the Patriarch's debuff. If it weren't for us, I'd think we'd have had nearly five minutes to fight."

"... next, other than the Moon World Meeting... example < Death Period > would be an escort, so what about < AETL Coalition >?

"It seems that there are no other clans that can be fought against as a group. Looks like they were scattered in other cities..."

"At the heart of the matter..."

The leader glanced at the status quo of a giant clan that had been on one of their own until a short while ago.

"Ah. But < Babylonian Combat Regiment > seems to be moving. I saw the mask in the sixth place of the duel and his brother-in-law, Hippocliffe, fighting a bee human opponent before the rally."

"Babylonia... They are few in number, but the battle power of the individual is equal to that of Kanst in heaven and earth. I can count on you."

"............... uh, that's strong"

"Remember?"

"... Yes. There was no battlefield in heaven or earth."

"I've been a little dull since I came to the kingdom. Before the war, let's take care of those bee humans and reclaim them."

"Yes.... nevertheless, that sounds like a bad time"

"You mean the owner?

"Yes."

To the words of his assistant, the leader shrugs his shoulders and laughs bitterly.

"I wanted the owner to see his hard work, is that what you mean?

"There's that, too, but without the owner and Mr. Tsubaki, the tension in the group seems completely different."

"Well, either of us has led the hunt so far. There was no case of a mass battle without both of us. But it depends on the timing. Without the two of us... it's now that they're trying to see if we can do it alone."

The leader went on to say, "And..."

"I'm sure it's in the middle of death"

I turned that gaze in the far west... in the direction of the border zone.

◇ ◆ ◇

□ ■ Ministry of Border Zones and Forests

Chrono sprinkles [gem] onto Tom, nearly incinerating the avatar by its ignition.

One car (...) stormed at us both.

"What!?"

Chrono didn't notice the car approaching.

That would be so. The car didn't have the sound of running through the ground, hitting the trees, or even rubbing with the air.

As if it were a ghost, the car slipped through everything and ran in a straight line.

In the car, Chrono looked familiar.

(This Embrio was...)

That was the type of car we missed from the scene last night when we raided Wolf Cherry Blossom, the sub-owner of... It was Tomica's Oboro Grumma.

With his special skills activated, like that time, Oborogruma is on a straight line with Chrono for a fallen Tom.

Chrono jumped away aggressively, and Tom was dragged into the car by someone from the passenger seat door as Oboro Grumma passed by.

Shortly afterwards, just behind Oborogluma, [Gem] ignited and Crimson Sphere broiled Oborogluma's rear.

"Hino!? I was a little hot!? Could Oboro Grumma not slip through heat or something!?"

"Tomika, you should know how your Embrio performs, right?

To Tomika screaming in tears, the person sitting in the passenger seat said so calmly.

After being dragged, Tom, thrown into the back seat, raises his voice as if surprised to see the person.

"Are you..."

"Mr. Tom. I want you to tell me two things."

The person said so with two fingers up.

"His relationship with you. And whether he fits in with a series of Ranker Raiders. That's two things."

Tom thought a little about the question and said the answer.

"... when I become a death penalty, it's the relationship he kidnaps the princess. And he fits in with the assailant."

"Easy to explain, thank you"

The person nods at the passenger seat door, also convinced of Tom's answer, which omits the reason.

"So long, Mr. Tomika. Keep Tom aboard and run. I'm coming down."

"Oh, uh...!?"

"Mr. Tom. Opponent, can I have it?

"... oh. Which way, I don't have any more hitters."

I should have fully prepared Chrono for a compatibility difference and still win.

Tom has no more chances of winning now that he still can't pick it up and even damages his hands and legs.

I therefore entrusted him with hope.

There is also resistance to entrusting others with the rampage of colleagues who would have liked to stop them on their own.

But at the same time, I was sure.

Chrono reaches the extreme of acceleration and lives a different time world than the others.

There is no other being in the kingdom but he (...) who can step into that realm and overthrow it.

"That's it for me.... and then I'll let you baton touch it."

"Yes, I'm glad we came from the beginning with the intention of dying together. Thank you, Tomika, for bringing us this far."

Smiling and saying so, the person opened the door to the passenger seat of the running oborogruma.

Shortly afterwards, a bomb was thrown into the car as if waiting for the door to open.

That was Chrono's throw, which had already accompanied Oborogluma in an accelerated state.

Chrono waited for the moment the door opened to annihilate Tom, hidden in Oborogruma for no reason to attack from the outside.

What was thrown was a bomb similar to the power-oriented dynamite in Chrono's hand.

It was thrown into the car at supersonic speeds that no one could recognize, and soon burst...

"- Flash."

- I didn't.

As if nothing had happened, he rolled in Oborogruma's car without detonating.

"... what?

Keeping the acceleration state, Chrono looks out for the way it is.

If you look in the car while walking together, beside the bomb... the broken wire (...) is falling.

What that means is that... in the moment before the bomb detonated, someone disconnected the conductor from the bomb (...).

But the bigger problem than that...

(Can't see, was...?

I did an acceleration chrono and couldn't recognize the moment of amputation.

Crono wonders if that's possible......

"... ugh!?"

Immediately thereafter, the flesh (avatar) of the Chrono man told him of the imminent danger.

It is a poppy sensation of the skin that brings the protrusion closer to the eyelid closed eyes.

Communicated behind the neck, a sense of crisis.

……!!

Krono activates his own Special Ability in an aggressive manner.

The AGI buffs of Accelerated World Time and Accelerated Subjective Time multiply to each, and Chrono's AGI temporarily surpasses 10 million.

And keep it at maximum acceleration, forwards at all costs without even looking back.

Immediately after, a slight pain ran to the skin behind his neck.

"Huh!?"

Chrono hits the back of his neck with a right-hand back as he continues to move and distance himself.

The neck was wet and...... the liquid attached to the back of the hand was red.

It took a little while for Chrono to understand that it was his own blood and someone turned behind him (...) and slashed him.

(... stupid)

Who in the world... can take the back without being noticed by a chrono in an accelerated state?

Perhaps even [Beast King] said that only AGI would give up a step to Chrono.

Find someone from memory who can do that......

"... well. One, were you there?"

To one person...... I can think of.

The person also had information about Chrono.

Because that person was supposed to raid last night, too.

But at the time, I was logged out, and in the end, I had nothing relative to it.

I have kept it outside my thoughts until now because it was not even included in the members of the escort......

"... ugh."

Chrono stops and looks back.

Chrono doesn't choose to go after Oborogluma or to distance himself from the person he comes after.

Oboro Grumma's is a companion of the person they're chasing.

It is also easy to instruct the course and bowl Chrono and him together.

And if you break your consciousness about the raid on Oborogluma, this time you could lose your neck.

Krono decided so and decided to intercept his impending opponent.

…………

Maintain acceleration.

On top of that, prepare to activate Special Abilities at any time.

Chrono already understands.

The opponent is faster than his own normal acceleration state, but if he uses his special skills, he surpasses himself.

That's why I can't miss that timing... and wait for the person I'm coming after to stand.

But the opponent, who seemed to catch up quickly because he had a speed higher than himself, was much slower than Chrono expected.

Walk slowly, one step at a time, sounding the sound of treading forest soil slowly.

"Thank you for waiting"

From amongst the trees in the woods emerges the person - a looking boy younger than Chrono.

He is low and wears a coat of texture similar to wool.

On both sides of the waist is a machete, and a chain joining the skull of the carcass and the head of the carcass bites on both sheaths.

At first glance the name of that boy with unforgettable characteristics......

"After all - Cashmere, huh?"

The boy's name is - [Battousai] Cashmere.

Make Tom the second-largest ranker in the duel and the third-largest owner in the clan rankings.

And it is a PK with two names: "The Fastest in the Kingdom” and “The Headstand”.

"Yes. Are you... [Ra's God] Mr. Chrono Crown?

"... oh"

Chrono was not surprised that Cashmere had called him by name.

(i) It is conceivable that we can reach Chrono from the modus operandi of last night's raid.

In fact, Cashmere knew that there was also Tomika of < K&R > in the place where Shu Sterling said it was Chrono, and that it was passed on to Cashmere from her mouth.

(... for this minute, you can see I was looking for you from the beginning)

Krono understood that Cashmere was targeting himself.

The problem now...... its motive for targeting Chrono.

But it also comes to mind immediately.

"I see. Speaking of which, Wolf Cherry Blossom, number five in the duel, was a member of your clan. You're here to fight for your people?

"Huh?"

"... Huh?

Cashmere tilts her neck, whereas Chrono tilts her neck, too, at the reaction, against the motive she thought would be the only one.

"No, you don't hate Mr. Wolf Cherry Blossom, do you? I didn't even give it to Mr. Yukiyoshi."

Cashmere denied Chrono's predictions when he named the owner of the < K&R >, which destroyed the Wolf Cherry Blossoms in a Wang du Siege terrorist attack in March.

"Wolf Cherry Blossom is also a PK, so it's something someone can't help but PK me. Of course I do, so I always say to everyone in the clan, 'There's no need for retaliation PK at all'..."

"… so you're saying that as the master of the kingdom, you've come late to escort the princess?

"That too...... I don't think so"

"Then why are you saying you're here!

Krono asks the opponent who interrupted him just before defeating Tom, roughing up his voice.

In contrast to such a chrono, Cashmere gives a slightly troubled look...... but states in a clear voice.

"To slay you."

"............ what?

Cashmere said he came here not to hate, but only to kill Chrono, not to escort him.

"What do you mean?

"Uh, you're the one who raided the Ranker, the fastest PK in the Empire (...) right?

"If so...?

"I've hardly had a chance to kill anyone faster than me, so I thought it was the only time. He moved faster than me earlier, and he lost his neck."

Cashmere said in a tone that has no hindsight whatsoever that Chrono is here just for his desire to slash it because it is faster than he is.

In that reply, Chrono asks with anger, with blue muscles on his forehead.

"You... are you kidding me!? How much thought am I in here! Trying to take Tom down! Are you trying to make war happen... you know what I mean!?"

"No. I have no idea, and I don't."

Lightly, that's what Cashmere said.

"You...!

"Besides, you said it earlier."

Even if Chrono turns his anger, with a flat face...... Cashmere states his own logic.

"You and I are PK's who kill other players for what we want to do. That's why when PK dies with each other... you don't have to consider the other's circumstances or the weight of the reason, do you?

"What...?

"Because isn't it always PK who kills the other person and prioritizes his convenience? And yet, it's weird that you should think about it when you're killed."

So I'm not even here to hate the wolf cherry blossoms that are PK.

The PK that kills the opponent at his own convenience, no matter when or what time someone kills him (PK)... because that is naturally (...).

That's why Cashmere is also paying to PK Chrono here and now.

Things have come to this, and for Cashmere, Chrono's circumstances and mood do not even need to be taken into account.

Not even a bare gesture to point any doubt at the phrase "we are about to wage war", which Chrono mentioned.

If I told you everything, including the unspeakable circumstances as a management AI, I guess Cashmere's answer wouldn't change.

There are only two important things for Cashmere.

There are only two things: slaying those who are faster than themselves, and dying between PKs.

To such a cashmere...... Chrono had to convince himself of one thing.

(Cashmere Real should have been a child, but... oh well. In the first place......)

In the first place, as a premise......

(If you're a decent kid, there's no way you're doing it for the biggest PK clan owner in the country)

That's not what happened to Cashmere in her current position just because of her accomplishments.

I convinced him that as much as possible (...) it was so (...).

"... By the way, I heard that < K&R > has a 'let them give you permission before PK' rule?

It is a PK by notice and permission, suggested by Cashmere himself.

Cashmere nodded at the word... and put up one finger.

"Yes, but there's one exception."

"Exception?"

"'If the opponent is just PK, no need'. This has been a creed since before we built the clan."

As already mentioned, when dealing with PK, you challenge the fight without considering any circumstances.

That is why (...) Cashmere was called the strongest PK in the kingdom.

Yes, a well-known PK in kingdoms like Eldridge and Barbaroy Bad Byrne - I fought (...) against all of them and defeated them, therefore (...), the strongest (...).

"I see. Okay. Understood.... Enough"

Chrono sighed one sigh, - and stared at Cashmere.

"I'll kill you (PK) and then I'll look for Tom to kill you. Just one more step."

"Yes. Do so. I'll kill you, too."

Chrono grips his two-handed pocket watch, maximizing his willingness to kill.

Cashmere also moves the chain that raises the large knife on both hips - his own [freelance knife extraction Inaba], and takes his own knife extraction structure called the two-knife two-arm two-chain.

As though it were a duel in a western play, the two of them turned to each other,

The two of them - disappeared at the same time.

That's the beginning of death.

Turn it into an avatar for admin AI, the fastest [Rajin] Chrono Crown in the Empire.

Make it the Kingdom's dueling second place, the Kingdom's fastest [Battousai] cashmere.

The fastest neck hunters (Vorpal Bunny) kill each other.
