Journey Of A Legend

Chapter 151: Dark and Light Creatures



Chapter 151: Dark and Light Creatures

Inside the Forbidden Lands where the trees were higher than any other ten-story house while the space between two trees was less than 3 meters, suddenly a huge lake with a small island in its middle appeared out of nowhere.

When the black light that covered the lake finally vanished, the house's door which was on the island opened and Joe walked out with Greg, Russ, and Wayne behind him.

"Woah..."

Joe's reaction to the teleportation and the changes after it was exactly as of Greg. He couldn't believe that something like this was existing all the time inside the Forbidden Lands without the knowledge of humans. This was simply too shocking.

While Joe was mesmerized by the fact that grass, trees, and colorful bushes appeared out of nowhere around the lake, Russ looked at Greg and said, "Well... We are here. This is the place that I was talking about. Those creatures that you want will be definitely somewhere here."

Hearing this Greg looked around and watching the dense forest that surrounded the lake almost like walls, nodded and said, "This place is really something else. It will be really hard to fight in there."

"I know. That is why I said, fighting those creatures alone with your current rank and power will be insanely hard. That is why I adv-."

"He is not alone. I am here too.", said Joe suddenly, cutting into Russ's sentence.

"I know. But it will be still hard for the two of you.", said Russ with a nod as he looked at Joe.

"Well, if we don't try it personally we won't know if we are capable or not. Also, with Greg's powers, escaping shouldn't be a problem, am I right?"

As he asked this Joe looked at Greg.

Hearing this question Greg nodded and said, "He is right. I have several ways to escape if things turn dire, so don't worry. We will be okay."

Russ and Wayne seeing just how confident the two were looked at each other with a bit of a surprised expression.

"I see. Then good luck.", said Russ after a small sigh and waved his hand.

With a nod, Greg looked at Joe and said, "Let's go."

With that the two started to walk away, leaving the two men behind.

"So? What is the plan? These trees are too dense for normal battle, so even if we find those creatures it will be quite tricky to fight."

Stopping before the edge of the forest Greg looked around and started to think.

After a small while suddenly his eyes brightened and opened a piece of information on his watch.

{Typhoon Beast} (Mutant) (Dimensional)

Rank: Creator

Type: Mount (Operational)

Powers: Size Change, Intimidation, Storm Steps, Typhoon

Energy Crystals: 0/5000

(Can rank up only with requirements)

Requirements:

Storm Stone: 0/1

Mutated Wind Crystal: 0/4

Joe saw that Greg was looking at something on his device stepped closer and asked, "What are y-, huh? Mount? And it is an operational one?"

Just like his fairy, the Typhoon Beast that Greg obtained in the past had the exact same ability, which was the operational power.

Normal pets or mounts couldn't hold such power, because they were simple Soul Creatures with the role of protecting their owner in a fight or helping them travel. 

The latter role was exactly what a mount was doing. Its only advantage to the owner was that without any attacking abilities, they could help their owner travel huge distances with greater speed.

However, the fact that such a Soul Creature which was only a mount could fight... It was the very first time that Joe saw something like this.

"What do you want to do with it?", asked Joe as he looked at Greg's thoughtful expression.

Hearing this question, Greg looked up at the size of the trees and said, "It should be possible."

"Huh? Possible? What?", asked Joe with confusion but before he could ask something more, suddenly a huge beast that represented a white tiger which body was covered with white and black swirling clouds appeared before the two with a loud bang.

*BAM!*

*ROOAAR!*

Roaring high up to the sky, the beast looked at Greg and lowered its body, indicating it was waiting for him to jump up to its back.

"Let's go.", said Greg and jumped at the creature's back without any hesitation.

Joe saw this and was still confused, but even like this he just frowned slightly and followed Greg.

"Fly!", said Greg as he patted the tiger on the neck.

"Fly? This creature can fl-, huh?"

*BOOM!*

With a loud explosion, the tiger burst high up into the air, and when it was right above the trees, under its paws black clouds formed, making it stay floated above in the air.

"Woah. Interesting.", said Joe and looked down.

Greg just smiled and wanted to say that it was one of his Soul Creature's ability called Storm Steps when suddenly the fairy appeared on his shoulder and looked at the tiger with hostile gazes.

"Bad... Cat..."

Seeing those ice-cold gazes and what the fairy said, Joe was surprised instantly and asked, "It can talk?"

"Well...", looking at the fairy on his shoulder Greg laughed and said, "Yeah it can. But only words."

Hearing this Joe was even more stunned and scratching his neck he said, "I... See..."

"Well, nevermind. Let's concentrate and search for those creatures.", said Greg and ordered the tiger to fly forward.

*ROOAAR!*

As an answer of understanding, the tiger roared and without any hesitation it started to fly forward close to the top of the trees, making the search much easier for Greg.

Time flowed steadily like a small river, and after half an hour later, suddenly Joe pointed at the left and said, "Look! Something is there."

Greg hearing Joe's warning turned his gaze to the side, and in an instant, he noticed a creature below them moving here and there slowly.

Its appearance was similar to that of the Bone ghost in the past they met, but it had small differences.

First, even though it was floating above the ground, it had no legs at all. The body parts below its abdomen were slowly turning transparent, and in the end, they vanished totally.

The second difference was its long arms with those insanely sharp looking claws. Greg and Joe were exactly sure that if that thing slashed into their skin, they will die for sure, or at least their limbs will be severed.

And the last thing was the most obvious difference Greg noticed. Its whole body was made out of pure black substance. It was like its whole being was made out of nothing more but shadows, giving it a somewhat scary appearance.

"That is a Shadow Creature, so its buddy should be somewhere here. Look for something shiny.", said Greg to Joe and started to look around.

Knowing that Greg was talking about the Light Creature nodded and he too started to turn his head here and there.

And it didn't last long till suddenly Greg pointed at the place not far away from the Dark Creature.

"There!"

Turning his head to the side, Joe saw a creature exactly the same as that of the previous one, but with the only difference that it was made out of pure white light, making it look a bit holy even though its appearance looked horrific.

"What is your plan?", asked Joe after seeing that even though the two creatures were close, it was still impossible to kill them both at the same time.

Greg looking at the two creatures started to think and after a small while he said, "Which of the two can you kill in one attack?"

Hearing the unexpected question Joe frowned and looked at the two creatures one by one.

After thinking for a whole minute, he looked at Greg and said, "I should be able to kill both of them if we are talking about a surprise attack, but for that, I need to know where to attack it."

"I see.", said Greg and after a small nod he pointed at the Light Creature and explained, "Russ told me these creatures have no solid body, so no matter how hard you try to attack them they won't die."

"Then how do you want me to kill them?", asked Joe with a frown, not understanding why Greg asked what he did a minute ago.

"Because they have one single weakness.", said Greg with a smile and pointed at the forehead of the creature.

"Look closely. What can you see?"

Squinting his eyes to see what Greg was talking about, Joe said calmly, "Nothing at a-. Huh?"

However just before he wanted to say he didn't see anything he noticed a small stone-like material floating inside the creature's head.

"What is that? A core?", asked Joe.

"Yeah something like that.", said Greg with a nod and continued, "For us to kill them, we need to destroy those cores. That is the only way."

Hearing this, Joe nodded slightly and without further hesitation, he stood upon the tiger's back and said, "Then let's do it."
