Journey Of A Legend

Two flashes were zigzagging between the hundreds of pillars in the hall, while turning the white marble floor behind their wake into broken debris and dust.

"How can he be this fast? I am using my wind element to boost my speed, he shouldn't be able to follow me!" As Greg was running backward with crazy speed and momentum that would make anyone in the agility system feel helpless, watched as Eldar followed him closely with speed not inferior to him!

"He is using a skill to boost his power and speed to match yours. Although it is truly surprising that his body can bear such a fast acceleration speed, we can't do anything about it." as Alice exclaimed her thoughts in Greg's mind, Greg spun around and swung his arm horizontally.

*Swish!*

*Swish!*

Right away, hundreds of thousands of wind blades and whirlpools akin to tornados flew out at Eldar while a huge air barrier between two formed out of thin air.

Ever since he broke into God rank, Greg's element control could no longer be limited to simple attacks but he could form whatever he wanted out of them! Even if it were weapons or objects, it was all possible until he was given enough time!

Watching as different types of attacks similar to chaotic storms came at him, Eldar's eyes flashed with a cold glint and halted his movement.

"The element of wind. The best lethal weapon in close proximity if one lets down their guard. But unfortunately, your opponent is me." with a powerful stomp, Eldar shoved his feet deep into the ground sending huge pieces of rock before his chest, and while his feet lit up with a blue light kicked the stone at Greg one by one.

*BAM!*

*BAM!*

*BAM!*

Each stone carried such power and momentum that dispersed all the wind blades and whirlpools into air fragments while the air barrier in the distance that could have cut up even a God rank creature into pieces had been split into two without any resistance.

"!?"

Greg turned stupified by this sight while he was unable to say a single word; he couldn't understand at all what just happened right now.

His wind element's biggest trait except for its power that let him move as swiftly and silently as a viper out of anyone's detection ability was its superior cutting and slashing ability; once it touches something, let it be a living being or object, it will be cut into several parts with no exception!

Yet, right before his very eyes, his wind blades and whirlpools that could kill even a God rank existence on a whim right now were scattered into nothingness by simple rocks! By simple marble rocks!

Did the world go crazy or did he misunderstood his powers and he was this weak?

"Interesting."

"What is so interesting?" asked Greg upon hearing Alice's voice inside his head and swung his arm to send several more wind projectiles toward Eldar, but this time made sure to control them from afar.

However, just like the previous time, Eldar kicked and threw at him chunks of marbles while his feet and arm lit up with gentle blue light from time to time rendering all his attack useless.

"He is creating Magic Arrays the very moment he gets into contact with those stones. When I said he will be a monster once he reaches the Evolution Step I take it back... He is already a monster!"

When Greg heard this his eyes widened but the next second his face turned serious; he finally realized that his opponent this time was no ordinary enemy, but a freak! A complete freak!

What were Magic Arrays? They were special spells and symbols carved onto surfaces of objects or items to achive permanent skills at the creator's command or because of unique requirements. They are created through one's own power and occasionally it needed a lot of time to create even the simplest of Magic Array; except if you were a professional like Russ... Then you could make one in a short duration of time as easily as taking a stroll in a park!

But even Russ would be incapable to create a Magic Array in a single instant with a single touch, let alone with his feet! That was simply impossible! Yet, right now, this fact that was considered as an impossible accomplishment was achieved by a man from the Charon Family!

"How can he do that?" wondered Greg with shock and decided to change plans; instantly, golden flames covered both his hands while white light enveloped his entire body.

*Swish!*

With the speed that felt like time was skipped forward, Greg's figure arose before Eldar in a flash and swung his fist toward his fist in a horizontal line.

"Oh? So confident?" asked Eldar with smug, but the next second his eyes gleamed with shock.

The very instant Greg swung his arm, bringing the temperature in the surroundings up by several grades, the white light around his body erupted filling the whole hall with white light.

And right at that moment, everything came to a complete halt; the debris that was about to fall onto the ground, the swaying body of the three experts in the distance, and even Eldar's arm that was about to be raised before his chest to defend against Greg! Every inch of living and moving existence came to a total and outright stop.

Except for Greg, because even though everything halted, his hand was still flying at Eldar's body with raging golden flames like God's punishment from the heavens!

*KA-BOOM!*

An explosion broke out from Greg's hand, painting the air with the mixture of blossomed golden flames and scorched blood, while Eldar's body flew and crashed into the distance with such power that several of his bones inside his body cracked with a loud sound right away!

*BAM!*

"Bleargh!" 

Instantly after Eldar's body came was buried deep into the debris that his body caused after the crash, time started to flow once again while a confident smile appeared on Greg's face.

This power he just used was... Unparalleled!

He just used two elements at the same time, yet he was able to send such a powerful expert flying with a single slam! This feeling was out of the world!

"I should have done this sooner!" thought Greg a satisfied grin on his face and was about to turn around to wake Kuragari and the others up, when suddenly a cold wind blew into his face.

"Just where do you think you are going?"

"!?"

*BAM!*

As the voice appeared in his ear, the next thing Greg was able to feel was a sharp pain inside his stomach then like he was fired out of a cannon his body exploded into a pillar in the distance.

"The... Hell?" uttered Greg as he wiped the blood away from the corner of his mouth and stood up slowly from the huge pieces of stones that fell on his body.

"I'm not gonna lie, you surprised me there with your trick. But..." 

*Crack!*

With a swift motion, Eldar pushed his dislocated bone in his shoulder back to its place, only letting out a muffled groan, and turned his gaze at Greg with a mouth curled up into an evil smirk.

"Your trick won't work on me for the second time."
