This cruel and bloody scene frightened not only the bandits, but also the townspeople on both sides of the street who stopped and watched.
Seeing that Kronos showed no mercy and cut off the head of the leading bandit with a single strike, everyone gasped in shock and covered their mouths to prevent themselves from screaming.
"Did... did he kill him?!"
"He killed... the bandit!!"
"G... Kronos!!"
At this moment, everyone's pupils shrank sharply, and they trembled violently. The visual impact brought by the scene in front of them was too strong.
They couldn't fathom that someone would dare to kill a bandit!
After all, bandits were a gang!
They were numerous, occupying the mountains as kings, and each one of them was vicious and ruthless.
Many people had died at their hands!
How could they ever imagine that someone would dare to kill a bandit gang in the middle of the street?!
And to their shock, this person who killed the bandit gang was none other than Kronos from Erika's Tavern, who was always gentle and good-natured!
At this moment, everyone was stunned.
Kronos, however, paid no attention to the people standing on either side of the street.
Today, he was bound to be branded a murderer!
Even though the person he killed was a bandit!
His reputation as a murderer would not change, and everyone would still fear him!
"Drip! Drip..."
The sharp knife dripped blood as Kronos walked toward the remaining four bandits.
Watching Kronos approach, the four bandits were so terrified that their hearts almost stopped, tears streaming down their faces!
"No! No! Don't kill me!"
"Kronos! Kronos, don't kill me! I haven't done anything wrong!"
"Kronos!!"
"Please, I beg you, let me go!!!"
The bandits cried and wailed.
But Kronos turned a deaf ear.
He raised the long knife and swept it through the air.
"Shhh!!"
Two heads flew into the air in unison.
Fresh, bright red blood sprayed into the air like a fountain!
"Pfft!!"
"Boom! Boom!"
When two more heads fell to the ground, the last two bandits' psychological defenses shattered. Their spirits collapsed instantly.
"Ugh!! Hahahaha!!!"
"Ugh!! Hahahaha!!!"
They cried and laughed, laughed and cried, even losing control of their bladders!
Death was terrifying, but torture was even more horrifying!
Watching the Grim Reaper approach step by step, seeing their comrades die before their eyes, witnessing their terrifying death images...
They wanted to run, but they couldn't.
They wanted to struggle, but they couldn't move!
Who could understand their desperation at this moment?!
"Shhh!!"
"Pfft!!"
Another swing of the long knife sliced through the flesh, and the sound of blood spraying filled the air.
The two remaining bandits, who had gone insane, were finally freed from their torment!
The crying and laughter ceased abruptly.
At this moment, the entire street fell into an eerie silence.
All eyes were on Kronos.
The people shivered, watching Kronos in horror, covering their mouths tightly to prevent themselves from making a sound.
Kronos' clothes were soaked in blood, but he didn't care.
"Whoo~"
Exhaling a foul breath, Kronos sheathed his long knife and continued walking toward the bandit lair.
Before leaving, he calmly said, "After tonight, there will be no more bandits here! And I will leave too!"
With that, Kronos walked away.
For over a month, Kronos had repaid the kindness and care of the town's residents!
At this moment, the people finally realized the meaning behind Kronos' words.
"He... he just said that after tonight, there will be no more bandits here?!"
"Kronos... is he going to deal with the bandits alone?!"
"There are so many of them, can he handle it by himself?"
"He's leaving?!"
"Kronos....."
The people standing on both sides of the street watched Kronos leave with mixed emotions.
Fear, worry, and unease were prevalent among the women and children, but the men mostly looked at Kronos' back with awe and solemnity.
Crossing the streets, Kronos walked alone for dozens of minutes and finally left the town behind.
He stepped onto the road leading to the back mountain, the bandit lair.
Night was falling, and a drizzle began to fall from the sky.
Kronos looked up at the sky.
At that moment, a system prompt echoed in his mind.
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for spreading the name and gaining +3 Prestige! ]
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for spreading the name and gaining +5 Prestige! ]
...
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for spreading the name and gaining +10 Prestige! ]
After a while, the system prompts stopped, and Kronos quickly opened his properties panel.
[Ding! Panel is open. ]
[Host]: Kronos
[Prestige]: 210
[Abilities]: Fruit of Everyone
[Convening Members]: None
[Holdings]: None
[Entrance to Prize Pool]""
Kronos couldn't help but murmur when he saw his prestige had soared from 80 to 210.
"Sure enough, killing makes money faster."
"210, enough to gather members!"
