Journey Of A Legend

Chapter 154: The Fifth Flow



Chapter 154: The Fifth Flow

Joe was running away from the creature with his fastest speed he got.

His whole body was like thunder itself, making not only his speed but also his power to grow to a terrifying level.

However, even with his speed, which he thought was already superfast, he couldn't increase the distance between him and the Light Creature.

No, instead he noticed as the distance started to lessen, making him realize that it was only a matter of time he finds himself before that creature's sharp claws.

"Let's hope Greg can finish the other creature off until I take this one's attention away.", said Joe and continued to escape as much as he could.

But just as he thought about this, suddenly a wild explosion sound erupted behind his back, making him to turn his head toward where the loud sound came from.

And just as he did, he noticed as Greg was approaching him and the creature at rapid speed, while his body was accelerating even further without any sign of stopping.

And what was even more stunning for him, that even though Greg moved with a speed that was shockingly fast, he was avoiding the trees around him effortlessly.

Doing something like that... Not even Joe was sure he could do as good as him right now.

However, Joe this shock of his went away under a second and he smiled.

"Finally. It seems he finished off the other one.", said Joe and wanted to change his direction toward Greg, to meet with him, but before he could have done it, suddenly Greg's body exploded with momentum and appeared before the Light Creature.

"Fast!", said Joe with amazement, but the next second his eyes widened even bigger.

The moment Greg's body appeared before the creature, the monster turned around and slashed at him, but for some reason, when its claws met with Greg's light they slowed down visibly.

And because of this, Greg could easily jump to the side and with a spin with his body, he slashed at the creature's head, targeting the core.

*Swish!*

"What is that power?", asked himself quietly Joe, but before he could think anything else, he saw that Greg missed his target and the creature attacked him again.

But just as before, Greg's light slowed the creature's attack down, letting him to avoid the assault easily and attack it again.

However, just as Joe thought this time Greg will be able to finish the creature off, suddenly the light around Greg unexpectedly vanished and his speed turned back to normal.

"Huh?"

Greg's only reaction was this, not knowing what was currently happening, but before he could think for anything, he noticed as a claw representing death itself, came at him with frightening speed.

"Oh no!", said Joe and wanted to help Greg, but unfortunately he was too far away from him, so even if he used his fastest speed, it would be already too late.

"He is dead.", said Zane calmly and was about to fly away, when suddenly Eliana smiled and said, "I don't think so."

And just as she said that a huge explosion broke out below her feet amongst the woods.

*BOOOM!*

In an instant, blinding white light broke out of Greg's body, and a white area with a diameter of two meters started to slowly form around him, while the Fifth Flow inside his body started to form.

Next to this, the last path, the sixth cycle also started to appear in his body, making Greg instantly know that he was currently breaking through.

Also, the creature which was before him a moment ago was flung away by the explosion that broke out his body a second ago, making Greg to relax a bit.

However these pieces of news didn't make him relaxed or happy at all, but instead, he started to sweat instantly.

"Not good! Totally not good!", thought Greg with huge drops of sweat slowly flowing down his face.

Knowing that he didn't have a single energy crystal with the affinity of light, Greg looked at Joe and shouted, "Light energy crystal! Now!"

Hearing Greg's shout Joe started to sweat too and shook his head, while saying, "That creature didn't drop any. I have no energy crystals with the affinity of light!"

"..."

As Greg heard this, he felt like going insane. He was in the middle of a breakthrough and he had no energy crystals at hand. 

Thinking back to what Alice said if he didn't have an energy crystal when he breaks through, made Greg to sweat even more.

To think that he could get into a situation like this...

"Then the only solution that is left...", said Greg and looked at the Light Creature in the distance that shook its head to shake off the dizziness.

"I don't think it's a good choice.", said suddenly Alice in Greg's head.

"What do you mean it's not a good choice? Do I have other choices, because no matter how I look at it, I don't really have any.", said Greg to Alice and started to move forward, but just as he did, pain that was indescribable instantly swept through his whole body, making him to kneel to the ground powerlessly.

"What... The... Argh!"

The moment Greg wanted to stand up, suddenly the pain appeared inside his body again, sending feelings through his whole being just like he was tortured from the inside. 

"It's... It's like my bones and muscles want to explode inside me.", said Greg with clenched teeth.

And to make things even worse, he noticed as the Fifth Flow finally formed wholly and the light in it started to move terrifyingly fast. However because there was no layer around the cycle, it looked insanely unstable.

"I need that energy crystal or I'm dead for sure!", said Greg and turned toward his head up at the fairy and the Typhoon Beast.

"Help me please.", muttered Greg quietly, but even like this both of his Soul Creature's acted instantly.

Joe saw that Greg was struggling and things turned to the worst he didn't hesitate and burst toward the Light Creature.

"ROOOAAAR!!"

*Swish!*

*BOOM!*

Wind blades, whirlwind following a sharp paw full of razor-sharp nails, and a sword. From three different directions, three different attacks attacked the creature, making the creature to be trapped in the middle.

However, the moment the creature saw the incoming attacks, it just screamed toward the sky angrily and vanished from sight.

*KA-BOOM!*

While a huge explosion shook the whole forest because of the three different attacks, suddenly the creature's claw appeared before Greg's face ready to kill him.

"!"

Seeing that the light around Greg only slowed the assault down a bit, both Greg and Joe knew that this was the end.

However even though Greg knew that he couldn't escape this time, determination didn't leave his eyes.

"Come on! Move... MOVE!!"

Screaming in his head to make his body to move, Greg watched as the claws were only a few centimeters away from his face, but before they could have touched his eyes, a flash appeared behind the creature.

*BOOM!*

*Crack!*

After the flash, a small explosion sounded following the Light Creature's core to broke down into small pieces, making the creature's body to vanish into thin air in an instant.

*Paff!*

"?"

Just before Greg, and energy crystal with a white color fell onto the ground, indicating that it was filled with the element of light.

As Greg watched the crystal on the ground before him, suddenly a toneless voice sounded before him.

"Wasn't this what you wanted? The start consuming it."

Looking up to only see the legendary man, Zane standing before him, Greg was quite surprised, but his surprise didn't last long, because he felt that the power in the Fifth Flow was about to explode inside his body.

Without any hesitation, he grabbed the crystal before him and started to consume it with his life on the line.

Instantly, the swelling power inside the Fifth Flow which was expanding in his body started to form a small layer, and slowly it started to shrink back to its original shape.

As this happened, and Greg saw that things luckily didn't turn to the worst, he sighed with relief and continued to consume the crystal in his hand.

Zane saw that Greg started to calm down, just turned his gaze at the white light around him, and said quietly, "Strange. Maybe it didn't affect me greatly, but it still slowed me down."

While Zane was mesmerized by Greg's strange power, Eliana appeared next to him and asked, "So? Do you still think he is weak?"

Zane looking at Eliana started to think and a small while later he said calmly, "Well... I still needed to save him, so he is."

"..."

Hearing this Eliana wanted to say something when suddenly Joe with Greg's Soul Creatures walked close to them and with a deep blue he said, "Thank you very much! Because of you, Greg luckily survived!"

Eliana just waved her hand and said, "It was nothing. Anyway, we were only passing by, so it was only natural to help you two."

However, as she said this, Eliana turned her gaze at Greg and continued with a serious expression, "And also, I have a lot of questions to ask him, to let him die just like this."
