Journey Of A Legend

Chapter 212: Special Area

"Eh? A Special Activation? But I have already broken through with this element so how can it be?"

Greg hearing what Alice said to him, looked instantly stupified. He knew what Special Activation meant, so he was totally speechless. Special Activation was a process that pulled out the full potential of the element.

However, unfortunately, he knew that the requirements for a Special Activation were totally up to his luck. It was exactly like a Heritage, but with the only difference that if one element underwent such a change, it will stay in the improved state forever. Just like his golden flames.

That one element of his was the only one which underwent a Special Activation, resulting in it becoming several time stronger. However, that was also because of luck, and Greg knew that too.

When he activated his Second Flow through that way, his flames would become golden, making its destructive power to grow several notches higher. Just with those flames alone, he could easily turn any creature on the same rank to ashes.

But unfortunately, nothing is perfect and his Second Flow had its own errors too. While he could murder anyone with a single wave of his golden flames on the same rank until then his power was completely useless against fire experts or others who can counter his ability.

He tried once to see if his or Mila's flames were stronger, but the result was quite disappointing. Even though his flames had bigger destructive power, Mila was the one ending up as a winner, because her purple flames after contact would not dissipate like his. Not until the target which Mila wanted has turned into nothing more but ash and burnt flesh.

Thinking about this, Alice started to talk.

"I think it could be because of the time powers that wanted to kill you. It seems that my element has consumed it and used it as breakthrough material."

When Greg heard this, he looked confused. An element acted on its own and automatically consumed something which wasn't even its own affinity? Was that a joke?

Greg knew that his light element had a bit of time properties, but except for slowing down the time around his close proximity when he used its Core Territory, it was nothing special at all.

His light element's main role was to accelerate his body. The fact that it can slow down enemies inside his area was an extra.

"Wait.", thought Greg suddenly and glanced at the silvery arrow before him.

Squinting his eyes, he started to examine it, and after a small, while his eyes widened and said, "The time hasn't been stopped, but it has been slowed down to an extreme point."

As he said this, Greg looked around and saw that everyone around him was moving just like before, but with the slight difference that their movement was snail slow. No, it was even slower than that.

"So this is the real potential of my light... Can this be still called as a light element?", thought Greg with a frown, but suddenly he felt as his body turned exhausted, while his head started to feel intense pain.

"Argh... It seems this power also puts a great burden on me.", thought Greg and looked at the stone book in the air.

"Let's finish this.", said quietly with clenched teeth, and without any hesitation, he moved.

Because his fairy was sealed by the temple's restriction, Greg had no other choice but to use the bookshelves as a ladder.

When he climbed up really high, he looked at the stone book not far away from him, and without any hesitancy, he jumped.

Luckily the shelves were solid enough to let him jump far away, so he reached the book relatively easily.

When he arrived before the book in the air, Greg grabbed the key and made it to melt into his body.

*BAM!*

Instantly as he did that, several small explosions occurred, and with the stone book, every silvery arrow turned to ash.

And while this happened, Greg's area power reached its limit too, and just as unexpectedly as it appeared, it vanished, turning everything back to its original pace.

"Hu...huh? What happened?"

Bex who thought would die by his own arrows, suddenly looked around with a confused expression.

And it was not only him but everyone else too, however, just before they could have asked anything more, a surprising sight happened.

*BOOM!*

Like throwing a bowling ball onto the ground from a very high place, with a huge explosion, Greg's body slammed right into the ground, creating a huge crater bore them.

"Greg?! You... How?"

Mila seeing that Greg was fine, she looked stunned. Not only did Greg was fine, but the sudden disappearance from before them and appearance from the air were truly confusing.

But it was only natural for them to be shocked. Because Greg's Core Territory slowed down the time around him, they could only see as he moved with a speed that they couldn't keep up with.

Only those were able to glimpse his movement, who paid extremely close attention with insane concentration. But unfortunately, even like that, what they would be able to see was a single flash moving here and there and nothing more.

Greg seeing that everyone was fine smiled and wanted to move forward, but suddenly his body felt weak. The feeling was exactly after he used his Special Respiration Technique, so without any further thinking, he took out a potion from his shadow and drank it.

*Gulp!*

With one single swallow, Greg drank the liquid, making his body to instantly recover from the exhaustion.

"Scary. Will each of my cards become a hindrance to me?", thought Greg with small drops of sweat as he looked at his body.

First the technique that he learned, after that his darkness element, now his light element. He can't use them to their full potential without so much as not to make his body feel exhausted.

"If I fight with everything I have, I fear I couldn't even last for a full minute.", thought Greg, but after sighing he thought, "But luckily I can control their way of usage, so I'm fine. Until it's not a life and death situation I won't use this ability."

Also, what made Greg relaxed, that this time he had several aces in his sleeve, so he didn't need to fear that he will die against stronger foes in a fight.

With abilities like these, if one ends up dying, then that person is a total loser. Even if he can't kill the enemy with their power, but at least he should be able to escape if the situation turns dire and Greg knew this clearly.

While he thought about this, the Hogan walked closer to him and asked, "Where is that stone book?"

Greg glancing at Hogan's expression, which showed now broken confidence, sighed inside and said, "The moment I took the key from its middle, it turned to ash."

As he said that he looked at Jonathan and asked, "You said the key should help you unseal your power. Do you truly wish to try your luck? The key has greater power than you think."

Jonathan who walked to Greg looked o his eyes and nodded.

"I want to try it. I feel that it should be the only solution to my problem."

Greg seeing the determination in Jonathan's eyes, started to think for a while, but still, in the end, he sighed and said, "I see. Then let's see if you are right."

As he said that, Greg put his hand out, and instantly, a light started to form above his palm.

Bit by bit, the light took up the shape of the key.

Jonathan seeing the key looked shocked because the moment Greg summoned it, he felt an insanely scary presence from the key.

"Its presence is way above the God rank!", said Hogan with shock as he watched the key above Greg's hand too.

Jonathan nodded hearing his father's statement, but still, he put his hand out and was about to touch the key. However, just as his fingers would have been able to form a contact with the key, an unexpected scene happened.

Everything around them, including the walls, the statue, and the shelves, started to turn to dust, and just before they could have realized it, they stood in the middle of the ruins again.

"It seems the key was this place's core.", said Bex as he looked at the dust on the ground, but suddenly, his expression turned to surprise looked around.

And it was not just him, but everyone else too.

"We... We are in the middle of the ruins, yet we are perfectly fine. The power has vanished too."

Seeing that Bex was right and they didn't turn old, everyone sighed a sigh of relief, however, in the next second, their expression turned to shock.

*Swish!*

*Swish!*

*Swish!*

Out of nowhere, one after another, strangers appeared around them from the shadows of the ruins, making the group to raise their guards up instantly.

Greg who was about to let Jonathan to touch the key, made the key to vanish and looked around with a deep frown, but the next second he spotted someone and his expression turned to surprise.

"William!?"
