Journey Of A Legend

"That is true.", said Greg and touched his head softly.

Feeling a bit of pain he frowned slightly and asked, "By the way, do you know where did those two go? They always go somewhere."

"Those two talked about something like that a God rank zone appeared in the vicinity, so they went to clear it. If I'm right, they should be back by now. It is almost a day since they went away."

"I see...", said Greg and after thinking for a while he asked, "Can I have a question?"

"Sure. What do you want to know?", asked Alice in a calm voice.

Watching as Alice changed her legs posture, Greg stayed quiet and a while later he asked, "I wanted to ask this since Russ said it... Those Higher beings... What are they looking for?"

"What are they looking for? That is easy to answer. They are looking for a secret place called... Argh... What the... Arghh!!"

Just as Alice wanted to answer Greg's question, suddenly she started to clench her head in pain, making Greg to stand up worriedly in an instant, ready to help her any given moment.

However just as he was about to step toward her, Alice raised her hand and said, "Don't worry... I'm okay... I'm okay..."

"What happened?", asked Greg with worry visible in his eyes as he looked at Alice's struggling figure.

Shaking her head gently, Alice turned her head toward Greg and said, "I'm not so sure either... The moment I wanted to answer you, it was like some kind of power cut my memory off in an instant. Even now if I want to remember back I feel the slight pain tingling in my head. Strange... Why did it feel so familiar?"

As Greg listened to Alice's mumbling, suddenly the air threads from the entrance direction started to move like crazy, making Greg know that someone was coming.

"I think Russ and Wayne are back. Quick disappear.", said Greg hurriedly as she looked at Alice who was still talking to herself on the sofa.

Hearing what Greg said, Alice looked up, but the moment she heard the door's creaking sound she didn't hesitate and vanished into Greg's Soul Stone.

"Haha! That was too easy. That monster didn't even stand a chan-, oh look at that. Our sleeping beauty has finally woke up."

Walking inside, Russ was spirited talking with Wayne, but the moment he saw as Greg was standing next to the table, he smiled in an instant.

"I just woke up the moment you came back. Where were you two?", asked Greg.

"Just away to clear a few dimensional zones. Nothing special at all.", said Wayne instead of Russ and threw a huge bag onto the table that was full of energy crystals.

"Those are..."

"Yes, these are energy crystals from Ascender and God ranked creatures.", said Russ with a proud look on his face, however seeing Greg's greedy look, he shook his head and said, "Sorry kid, but these are ours. Even after the Evolution Step, energy crystals are very important."

Hearing this Greg looked a bit disappointed, but he couldn't do anything with it. It wasn't him the one who collected them, so there was nothing he could do.

Seeing Greg's sad expression, Russ sighed and said, "However on our way back here we met with a few water creatures on the 5th rank. Because you needed element crystal for two elements so far, then I think that will help you too."

In an instant after hearing this, Greg's eyes brightened up and with a wide smile he said, "Thank you!"

Without any hesitation, he ran toward the door and before walking out he asked, "Where are these creatures?"

"Toward the east."

"Thank you.", said Greg and ran out of the house.

Seeing as the door closed slowly, Russ shook his head helplessly and said, "Well... I didn't think he would be this excited just because of a creature."

Thinking back to his expression, Russ smiled and said quietly, "Just like my young self."

While the two men stayed back in the house, Greg used his First Flow to boost his speed with the vortexes around his body and ran through the dense forest.

What surprised Greg however as he runs, that even though his speed was fast, it was like his feet didn't touch the ground at all. Each step he took was as silent as an assassin's.

"Another new aspect. Amazing!"

While he enjoyed the silence around him and the surroundings, Greg noticed as the trees started to decrease in number rapidly and in the end, he arrived before an insanely huge lake.

"Beautiful!", said Greg with wide eyes.

Even his little fairy on his shoulder that was all the time around him looked at the beautiful lake with shiny eyes. Since she reached the 4th rank, there was not even a single moment that she stayed inside Greg's consciousness, but instead, she was like an independent being just like any other human.

As he was looking around, he suddenly noticed creatures similar to those of seals, but with the only difference, their skin was blue and also had incredibly sharp fangs coming out of their spines.

"Interesting looking creatures that is for sure.", thought Greg and looked up at the sky.

"The sun is still up, so I will be alright. But before I use those flames..."

As he said they, Greg raised his hand and summoned his normal crimson fire around his hand, and without hesitation, he fired at the creatures before him.

"BOOOM!!*

With a small explosion, the fireball exploded onto one of the creature's skin, however that was all. Not even a small injury could be seen, but only an angry scream from the monster.

Seeing as a horde of angry looking creatures came at his way while suddenly huge raindrops appeared around him, Greg smiled and said, "Core Territory. This is what I like to see!"

The moment he said that he breathed in a mouthful of air and while concentrating on the heat in the air, he activated to Second Flow.

"Second Flow, Golden Blaze"

In an instant, like an erupting volcano, Greg's body exploded, making his whole body to get covered with golden flames.

The second the creatures saw the golden fire around Greg halted and without hesitation they turned around, trying to escape as far away as they could.

Seeing as several 5th ranked creatures wanted to escape from him, Greg was quite surprised but the next second he smiled and said, "Oh, don't even think about it."

*BOOOOM!*

With a wave of his hands, Greg fired golden flames toward the monsters resulting in a huge explosion that melted the ground in an instant.

*GRRRR!!*

With an angry roar, all the creatures turned around and with a roar they attack Greg.

The raindrops that were in the air around Greg, started to move in an instant and got fired at him like bullets.

However even like this that he was attacked by several 5th ranked creatures in their Core Territory, Greg stood just as relaxed as if he wasn't attacked at all.

All the rain droplets that got into contact with the golden flames got evaporated within a second, making Greg smile happily.

"I should have activated my wind element with Special Activation. This is just too good.", said Greg and without further delay, he raised his arm above his head.

"Second Flow, Outburst"

*Slash!*

*KA-BOOOOM!!*

With an insanely massive explosion, the whole proximity around the creatures blew up, melting the ground while turning each creature into nothing more but ash.

Watching as the monsters screamed in pain while their whole being turned into nothingness, made Greg a bit disturbed, but only for a second.

A moment later when all beasts were killed Greg waved his hand, making the flames vanish in an instant.

Seeing a few blue crystals in the burnt grass Greg smiled and walked closer, but the moment he saw the huge melted crater before him that he just created a second ago he halted.

"This power... Is too destructive. I need to watch when and how I use it.", thought Greg with seriousness and crouched down to pick up the crystals.

Picking up 4 pieces Greg examined them, but a while later he sighed and said, "These are not what I want. They are just simple energy crystals. I will just give them to my Soul Creatures."

With that said, he gave them to his Silver Wolf Soul Creature, making it to instantly rank up from Manifester to Soul Collector.

"Let's see what its new ability will be.", said Greg without any expectation as he opened his device's screen on his wrist.

However, the moment he saw the information on the screen next to the Powers bar, suddenly his eyebrows raised slightly in confusion.
