Journey Of A Legend

Chapter 13: Instant Knock Out

"Huh?"

Greg expected this would happen, because of his black Soul Stone. However, he didn't think that he would be the very first one, so that's why he was a bit surprised.

Chris looked at Greg and asked, "Will you surrender or fight?"

Greg stood up, turned toward Brian's direction, and with a bow he said, "I will accept your challenge."

Hearing this, Brian was full of himself and with a smile started to walk down toward the battlefield.

Greg did the same and walked down while thinking, "What should I do? I can't use too much of my power, because of the backslash and I only have the broken daggers, but I don't know how to repair them. And also the shield, however, it's too good to use for a match like this..."

After the two walked up onto the platform, they stopped and faced each other. They were both at the side of the battlefield with almost a hundred meters between them, while Chris was watching the two from the side.

A while later he put up his hand and said, "You know the rules. Knock out your opponent, make them unconscious, or make them surrender. However, no killing is allowed! Now that I told you this... FIGHT!!"

After hearing this, Brian wanted to use his Guardian's ability to knock Greg out in an instant, however suddenly Greg's figure appeared before him.

"What the-??!"

Greg pushed Brian's body a little, making him falling down from the platform.

*Paff*

Seeing this, everybody in the arena was shocked, even Chris too.

"D-did I just see things or did he traveled that distance in an instant?"

"What the f**k just happened? I just blinked once and the fight was already over."

"This is just a dream, yeah? He has a black Soul Stone. This couldn't happen."

Chris, after coming back from the shock he said loudly, "Winner, Greg Hyde! Now he has 3 points!"

Hearing this, Greg just smiled and started to walk back to his place.

However just as he started to walk, Brian's voice echoed behind him.

"T-This can't be true! He must have cheated!"

Chris looked down at Brian and said, while shaking his head, "No, he didn't. He won fair and square."

Hearing this, Brian started to get angry and pointed at Greg and said, "Then I want a rematch now!"

Chris said with a sigh, "That can't happen at the moment."

Brian was surprised and looked confused.

Seeing his face, Crish said, "I didn't tell you, because I thought you already know, but it seems I was wrong, so I will tell it. You can challenge a person only once every five days. This is because to avoid things like getting free points freely by beating the same person again and again."

Just as Brian wanted to say something a harsh voice came from behind him.

"Then I will challenge Greg instead."

Chris looked at where the voice came from and saw William's figure. With a nod, he looked at Greg and asked, "Will you accept the challenge or surrender?"

Greg looked at William and turned around to face him. With a sharp glare, he said calmly, "I accept."

After hearing Greg's answer, a lot of people started to talk quietly.

"Greg just accepted? He won before yes, but he is against William. He will get killed for sure."

"He can't be serious. He is just looking for death."

"He is dead meat."

Joe heard the other's talk and smiled while thinking, "Interesting. Let's see what he will do to win against the guy who bullied him till now."

When the two stood at the platform as before, Chris raised his hand and said, "Okay, now be ready...FIGHT!"

In an instant, after hearing the start, William legs bulged and jumped into the air, toward Greg. His hands were above his head, while they were getting bigger and bigger. His appearance grew from two meters into a three meters high titan.

"You are done for now!"

With a mad shout, William was flying toward Greg and like he was wielding a hammer, he chopped at Greg with his crossed fists with unbelievable power.

Seeing this, Chris was ready to help Greg any moment, however, he felt something was strange. He didn't know what was strange, but when he looked at Greg his eyes got round.

"H-He is... Smiling?!!"

Yes, he was smiling and as he did, he raised his right hand before his chest.

Just before William's fist would turn his whole body into a pulp, a golden shield appeared on his arm, blocking William's attack.

*BAAANG!!!*

With a huge bang, a big dust cloud and shockwave appeared all around, making even the furthest people clenching the seats before them not to fly away.

"A-Amazing! It seems William got stronger even in this short amount of time!"

"Greg is dead for sure."

"Yeah he is done fo-, hey look! That can't be true!!"

After the dust cloud disappeared, everyone could see what the guy was talking about.

Under Williams's gigantic figure and fists, Greg was wearing a golden shield on his arm, defending against Williams's attack.

"I-impossible..."

"What the hell is that shield??! He doesn't even look like he is struggling!"

"That can't be a Manifester rank shield, can it?"

William was clenching his teeth and with an angry roar, raised his fists to smash Greg again.

*BOOOM!*

*BAANG!*

One after another, William hit the golden shield with tremendous power, however, no matter what, he couldn't even make Greg move an inch.

As this continued, Greg asked in a quiet voice from under his shield.

"Are you not finished yet?"

Hearing this, everyone around was shocked. However, this just made William much angrier.

He raised his hand and an insane amount of power started to build up in his arms. His muscles started to bulge, ready to explode any moment and the ground below him started to crack.

Greg seeing this, felt the danger, however, somehow his instinct told him that there will be no problem if he uses the shield's defense.

As he was hesitating what to do, William's fists were coming at him with unbelievable power and speed, making him nowhere to dodge.

"Well, let's see and hope for the best.", thought Greg and positioned himself into a more stable position to receive William's insane attack.

*KA-BOOOOOM!!!*
