After reaching the end of the road, their eyes were directed towards Jimmy and the old man.
Jimmy: I think this is the surprise, old man, that you've prepared for me.
The old man: Shut your mouth.
Zombies appeared on a rocky slope, emanating immense power.
The old man: Stop staring and come down here.
Zombies descended, appearing strong. The old man climbed a rocky slope and sat down.
The old man: You, monster, face them alone.
Jimmy, fight them all. You know I'm just an old man, incapable of anything.
His reactions were amusing because the old man knew his strength had increased significantly. But the other zombies felt insulted.
Old man: You, Jimmy, deal with them yourself.
Jimmy, be careful; you know I'm just an old man, unable to do much.
Their reactions indicated well-trained skills and speed comparable to Carter's.
Jimmy created an opportunity, pushing them away.
The old man watched from above.
At that moment, Cross Over, the old man's brothers, attacked swiftly.
Jimmy faced their well-trained speed, but he managed to push them away.
The old man warned Jimmy to hurry as they had a long way to go. Jimmy covered his sword with his aura, making it stronger.
Cross Over felt the power and stepped back.
Cross: What is this power, young man?
Jimmy: I'm Jimmy, not a fool.
Over: Alright, Jimmy, how about we play a little game?
Before he could finish, Jimmy beheaded them both. Meanwhile, Chromos transformed into zombies and taunted them.
Chromos: You fools are weak. I haven't seen you in a while.
The old man descended from the slope, impressed. However, Chromos and Over merged into a massive zombie.
Chromos Over: Do you think cutting our heads means you've killed us?
Jimmy faced the challenging situation bravely, but the old man warned him to hurry.
Jimmy continued his path with the old man.
Slap, slap, a loud scream. What happened? Did you say you've eliminated the zombie horde? Are you joking? Where are the reinforcements you sent?
Okay, okay, just tell me what happened first.
You said a young man and an old man were on the rocky slope, but what were they doing there? Did you say you don't know? Well, that doesn't matter. If they were just ordinary people, that's important. But if they were part of an organization, your head will be among those skulls there.
After reaching the waterfall, the old man asked Jimmy to enter it and defeat Chromos. If successful, Chromos would appear in his true form, and Jimmy could gain control over him.
Jimmy knew Chromos's immense power and realized defeating him wouldn't be easy. However, he took the first step into the waterfall and opened Chromos's private space.
The first thing Chromos did after Jimmy entered his space was to mock him. Jimmy, unmoved, faced Chromos's powerful pressure, which made his body stiff. Chromos then grabbed Jimmy's neck, pulling him closer.
Chromos: Do you know there's no defeat in my dictionary? Either I win or die.
But Jimmy didn't respond.
Chromos: I think your silence has been too long, Jimmy. But what do you think if I give you a chance? If you touch me, all my power will be yours.
If you don't touch me, your body will be mine. What do you say? Are you agreeable?
Jimmy: Fine, I agree, but let me down first.
Chromos: You got it.
After Jimmy was let down, the first thing he did was step back. Chromos, with his keen ability to sense movement, knew Jimmy was faster. But despite this, Jimmy didn't stop.
Alright, what should I do? His ability to track my movements is stronger. I think there's a weakness, but what is it? Chromos, why don't you come down from that skull, and let's face each other here? Also, what do you think about not using your power? This isn't fair. I only have my speed and body, while you have many powers.
Stop barking and attack.
I think this won't work on him. I'll try again. I think a hit will take a long time; his perception will weaken over time. Chromos, what do you think of cooperating? My whole body will be yours. When you want it, you have a specific goal in staying inside me. When you reach your goal, I promise not to stand in your way. Come on, Chromos, let's cooperate. I want nothing but knowledge of who made me like this, so I can continue to live this life.
Haha, I think I like this. Alright, because you said that until then, my power will be yours. But don't tell that old man about this. Tell him you managed to win. Alright, Chromos, I agree.
Chromos approached Jimmy, and they made an agreement. Chromos's aura spread through Jimmy's body, and they merged. Jimmy emerged from the waterfall, and the old man saw him.
Open the final field. Sorry, you hid. I'm sorry. I think you succeeded. Alright, I think it's time to return to the castle.
Jimmy and the old man quickly headed back to the castle. Meanwhile, someone observed, saying, "You're still alive, monster." As they approached the castle, gazes did not perceive Jimmy and the old man.
Hey, I think you've become very fast, even more than the first time we left the castle. Old man, I can't hear you because you're slow. Try to speed up.
The old man speaks to himself: I think Carter is right. I think this zombie inside the boy has changed or that he's just exploiting it. The crucial thing is whether Jimmy can control him. This is the most important. I think the power of this boy will become invincible if he can reach the peak of strength. This world without history can be restored, and those who control zombies can be eliminated.
Jimmy is now faced with two choices with no third option. Either he makes Chromos under his control, or he becomes Chromos's slave when he reaches his goal.
