Chapter 211: Fifth Flow's Change
Chapter 211: Fifth Flow's Change
*PAFF!*
With a heavy sound, another Clanwing member fell onto the ground with a tine gap on its head.
*Crack!*
However, this wasn't the only that happened. The moment the corpse fell onto the ground, a sound similar to glass falling onto the floor happened.
"This can't be!"
Hogan's eyes contradicted as he watched his barrier collapsing totally under only two attacks. The sight and the happenings were simply way too much for him to process.
Of course, it wasn't a surprise to see him like that. Hogan was someone in the God rank, with nothing else but a powerful defensive ability. For him, to see that he couldn't protect his own men from two simple attacks, pierced right through not only his pride but his confidence.
For him, it was like a swordsman losing not only his will to fight, but his only hope to survive too, which his weapon.
For him, something like this as a defender, it was not only extremely hard to digest but also very embarrassing.
Just imagine you being a goalkeeper in a football match and you accidentally kick next to the ball, resulting in it rolling right into the goal. That would destroy your fighting spirit definitely.
While Hogan was mesmerized in his own thoughts about these things, suddenly Greg noticed that right before the stone book high in the air, not 1, but 10 silvery arrows started to form slowly.
"Not good! Look out!", shouted Greg loudly while he activated his Fifth Flow without hesitation.
Instantly, white light covered his whole body, and with an unexpected speed, he burst forward.
*BAM!*
With a powerful stomp on the ground, Greg's bodily vanished into thin air, and with a white flash, he appeared before Hogan and the others.
Since this was the first time he used his light element after breaking into the Soul Grade, Greg was surprised to feel that his acceleration power has become even greater.
If before his speed was similar to that of a race car's, then now he was like a rocket. The two's speed was like heaven and earth.

"But, at the same time, this element's burden on my body has become even greater too.", thought Greg with a sour expression.
Since the moment he created all the Flows, Greg knew the best that unexpectedly his Final Flow, which was the darkness element, had the biggest burden on him if he used it on full power.
By using it 100%, he could create a shadow layer around his skin, making him to prevent any attack from killing him, but only for a few seconds. After that, his body would become extremely exhausted, so he would use it only when his life was in extreme danger.
However, now that he activated his Fifth Flow, he felt like he had already reached his limit. Not as soon as with his Final Flow, back in the Forbidden Lands, but the feeling was very close to it.
"It seems, I can only use its full speed only for a minute or two, but if I use its area power at the same time it will definitely become dramatically less. What a pain..."
Naturally, Greg knew that normally, he could use his light element for an exceptionally long time, but because he needed to be extremely fast he subconsciously used his full speed.
"But it was worth it!", thought Greg as he watched the 10 silvery arrows inches away from his head.
"Unfortunately I don't have the time to choose what to do. Restriction or not, I will use that!", said Greg and after clenching his teeth, he activated his Final Flow.
*BOOM!*
Instantly as he did, the shadow below his feet moved, and with an instant move, the group got wrapped up with abyss-like blackness.
*Swish!*
*Swish!*
*Swish!*
Like bullets, all the 10 arrows hit Greg's dark surface, vanishing from sight just like that.
However, there was a slight difference this time compared to when he used this ability back in the Forbidden Lands against Ascender ranked fighters.
The penetrating power was way too much that he believed he could control.
"Damn!"
With small cracks forming on the ground, showing just how enormous the pressure became on him because of the attacks, Greg clenched his teeth and endured the pain he was currently feeling.
He knew that if he does let into the pain, then that would be the end for all of them. Just a bit of deconcentration and his power could collapse quite easily.
"Just a bit more and I will sen it right back at it!!", thought Greg with clenched teeth as he felt that one arrow after another vanished into his shadow wall, making the pressure to become even more.
The others behind him watched as he was fighting against some unknown power, while the floor below his feet formed bigger and wider cracks by each passing minute.
"Let me help you!", said suddenly one of the Clanwing members behind Bex and stepped behind Greg.
She was a young-looking woman, possibly in her late twenties. She gently put her hands on Greg's back and with gentle lights around her palms, she closed her eyes.
Instantly as this happened, Greg felt that the pressure around his body vanishes, while the limit of his power which he was about to reach suddenly expanded, making him able to stabilize his power.
"What is this?", asked Greg with surprise as he glanced behind his back.
The woman smiled gently and said, "My power can buff other's strength and ability several times by physical contact. However it only works for a few moments, so this is the best I can currently do."
Greg hearing this looked satisfied and said, "Just a few moments, huh? That is perfectly enough!"
As he said this, he concentrated on his power that covered them, and thought, "So far 6 arrows. Where are the remaining 4?"
Greg found it a bit strange that after 6 arrows vanished into his shadow, the remaining four didn't follow suit. Even after waiting for several seconds, nothing happened.
"Strange...", said Greg with a frown, but just before he could have to think about the reason, suddenly an unexpected sight happened.
"!"
Below his feet, a strange-looking diagram appeared in a circular shape.
"What is that?"
Everyone noticing the strange pattern below Greg looked confused, but just before they could have reacted, a blinding light broke out.
*BAM!*
Instantly as the light covered up Greg's body, the darkness around them vanished, while Greg's body started to undergo rapid changes.
His skin turned ragged, his muscles turned soft and his expression turned old. Bit by bit, the power which was not able to affect him outside, strangely this time could.
"What the..."
Falling to his knees, Greg looked not only extremely weak but also fragile. His whole body looked like he went forward in time and now he became a 90 years old grandpa.
Everyone seeing these shocking changes looked stupified, but just before they could have an act, 4 silvery arrows appeared out of nowhere and flew toward them with bursting speed.
"Oh no!"
Mila and Laura who were at a safe distance seeing Greg's and the other's dire situation wanted to help but couldn't.
Both of them were supporters without a single defensive ability, so no matter what, they were unable to help them.
Also, the distance between them and the group was way too great, so with their average Calamity rank speed, it was impossible for them to help.
While the two were hopelessly watching as the group was about to get massacred before their eyes, suddenly Joe moved.
With a thunder robe around his body and an Ascension Ring below his feet, he swung the Jade Sword in his hand.
The speed was so great that it was impossible to track his sword's trajectory, yet even like this, he was only able to deflect only one silvery arrow, while the other free passed through his defense.
"!"
Joe seeing that he was too slow even though he reached the God rank in speed, sighed and watched as one of the three mercury arrows flew toward his head.
However, just before the worse could have happened, a blinding white light broke out from the side, covering up the whole area inside the temple.
*BOOM!*
Instantly as that happened, everything came to a halt. It was like someone pushed the pause button on a remote control, making everything to freeze up instantly.
"What is happening?"
While all of this happened, Greg who looked like was about to die by old age, suddenly started to become younger.
Feeling the changes, Greg stood up slowly and looked around, but when he saw everything was still, he looked confused.
"What happened here?"
While he was trying to figure out the strange cause behind all of this, suddenly Alice's voice sounded in his head.
"Amazing! I would have never thought something like this will happen!"
"Something like 'this? What do you mean about that?"
Alice, hearing Greg's question, stayed silent for a while, and only after a few seconds did she chuckle and reply.
"It seems that your Fifth Flow is currently undergoing a process quite similar to that of a Special Activation!"
