Chapter 28: The First Hunter — The Arrival of Chronos 🌌🏹🌑
Before Xeron's warning could even sink in, time itself came to a standstill over the village. Birds froze mid-flight, and raindrops hung in the air like glass beads.
⏳ The Frozen Moment
Gojung (🌑): "My body... it's heavy. I can't move!"
Seiya (🌊): "It feels like the air has turned into solid iron."
Then, a tall, slender figure descended from the White Rift. He wore armor that looked like a complex clockwork mechanism. This was Chronos—the Hunter of Time.
😂 Kael's Slow-Mo Panic
Kael (⚡), whose voice had been restored, was caught in a very awkward position. He was about to sneeze right when time slowed down.
Kael: "Aaa... aaa... aaa... someone... give me... a tissue...!" (His voice sounded like a distorted, slow-motion tape recorder). 🤧⏳
When he finally managed to sneeze, the air from his nose froze into solid ice-pellets.
Kael: "Bro! What kind of sorcery is this? Am I the hero of a slow-motion movie now? Because I did NOT audition for this!"
⚔️ Invincible Might
Ryun (🔥) launched his Frozen Flame at Chronos, but with a simple flick of his wrist, Chronos sent the fire backward, as if time were rewinding.
Chronos: "You take such pride in your 'Aura'? To me, your powers are but dust. I can erase your entire existence in a heartbeat."
🔗 The Strategy: Aura Sync
Xeron commanded the Seven to sync their frequencies. Gojung realized he had to use his Void power to create a space where time didn't exist.
Gojung (🌑): "If he stops time, I'll create a Void where time has no meaning!"
Gojung expanded a black sphere around the team. Within it, they could move freely again. Chronos looked slightly intrigued. "Interesting... a being of 'Dimension 0' challenging my Chronos-Engine?"
🌪️ Final Narration
"The fight against a Time Hunter has begun. The Guardians have created a pocket of freedom, but Chronos has thousands of years of experience. Can they land even a single blow on a man who knows their next move before they even make it?
