Journey Of A Legend

Chapter 221: God's Tree

"Wha... What happened?"

The moment those words sounded from Emma's mouth, it was like a huge and heavy rock fell off from Greg's heart.

Falling down onto the ground exhaustedly, he smiled at Emma gently. He was about to say something to her, when suddenly someone jumped forward from the side.

"You... You are stupid! Why did you need to do that to me?! I thought you have died! Stupid! Never do something like that ever again!!"

Emma, who just came back to life, looked at Mila with confusion, who was just hugging her tightly with thick teardrops on her face.

But it was not a big of a surprise at all. After she died twice, Emma's memory was very dizzy and foggy, so it will take her a bit of time to recover completely.

Joe on the side seeing that Emma was fine and alive sighed with relief too and looked at Greg.

"What happened? How were you able to stop her?"

Joe asked this question because the moment he noticed that Emma's body started to change, he instantly knew that it was not her. Or at least, he recognized that the presence she had around her was definitely not hers. It was way more powerful than hers.

Also, the power he used not only on him but everyone else around was not something Emma could pull of, not even with a strong Soul Creature.

That hypnotizing ability, which made him believe he was safe and didn't let him move, was extremely terrifying.

And what was even scarier, that he couldn't remember a thing during his hypnotized state. So if someone killed him, he would have died without knowing how he died.

Just thinking back about what would have happened if Greg didn't act, made Joe feel a shiver going through his spine.

Hearing the question, Greg looked at Joe and started to explain.

He told him he figured out that Emma was possessed by a creature, so killing her once again, would kill the creature too.

"And how were you so sure that she will be able to get revived again after she dies?", asked Joe with confusion as he looked at Greg.

When Greg heard this, he turned silent and didn't know how to respond.

Naturally, he couldn't tell Joe that Alice told him to kill Emma, because that would only make things even more complicated.

So as a result, he looked at everyone around him, but seeing that they were waiting for him to respond, he sighed and said, "I..."

*BAM!*

However just before he could have started to talk, the ground next to him shook like crazy, and soon, blood burst up like water from a fountain.

"What the?! Nike what?"

Everyone seeing this looked shocked and stepped behind several steps, ready to fight again if the time came.

Watching the blood breaking up from the ground Greg looked calm and stood up slowly.

He wasn't scared of the sight at all, because for some strange reason he felt that it was not hostile at all. Instead, it felt somewhat familiar to him.

And just as he thought about that, the blood in the air solidified and formed a big gate, while from its middle, a person walked out slowly.

"Jay!?"

Seeing Jay's figure who should be on the other side of the Federation, made Greg and his friend shocked.

"How? Or instead why are you here? Did you find the tree?", asked Greg as he walked close to Jay.

Jay seeing that they were not alone, looked at Greg and said, "Later, I want you to come with me. All three of you too."

Knowing that he referred to them, Joe, Mila, and Emma stood up and walked to Jay.

Jay, seeing Emma's pale face looked a bit surprised, and started to examine her from up to down.

Seeing that she was fine, he just simply frowned and said, "Let's go. We don't have time to waste."

As he said that, he turned around and stepped through the gate from where he just walked out.

Joe, Mila, and Emma instantly followed Jay, but Greg didn't.

He looked at Jonathan and Laura on the side and after a small while he sighed and said, "I'm sorry, but it seems we need to go. As for the others..."

Glancing at the corpse-filled ruin and thinking where Night and the other Voodoo man could have vanished, Greg looked at Laura and said, "I hope this won't affect your family. If yes, I will take full responsibility."

Naturally, Greg only meant it if the Voodoo family decided to attack them. As for the other matters, it was not his problem at all, so he won't take responsibility for those.

Laura knew this too and with a wave of her hand, she said, "No, you did way more than we can thank. It us who is in your debt."

Jonathan on the side nodded and said, "No matter what will happen in the future, I will always remember your help today. If you will need anything, our Clanwing Family's door will always be open for you."

Greg hearing this sighed only and after a slight nod, he said, "I see. Thank you."

With that, he turned around too, and just like his friends he walked through the gate, leaving behind the Clanwing members and siblings in the middle of the corpse field ruin.

***

Inside the middle of the Frost Desert's most dangerous region, the Flake Zone, Jay was walking out from a blood gate slowly.

Behind him, Joe, Mila, and Emma walked out to and soon Greg followed too.

"Woah... That... That was strange.", said Mila, as she could hardly describe the feeling she felt the moment she stepped through the gate.

"It was like my body became blood itself and flowed right through the earth. It was truly strange."

While still feeling the numbing feeling in their body, Jay pointed before him and said, "We have arrived just in time."

The moment the four kids heard this, they raised their heads, only to find a huge tree before them which was slowly undergoing visible changes.

The leaves on the tree, which first looked average, slowly turned colorful, while the two flowers, one on each side, started to grow in size.

Slowly, the flower's petals opened up widely, and from its middle, a pinkish fruit started to grow out.

The moment Greg saw the two identical fruits on the tree, his expression turned serious and thought.

"So those are the legendary Blessed and Cursed Fruits. One pushes a person all the way up to the summit of the God rank, while the other turns one into a total cripple. As for which one is which, that is completely unknown."
