Journey Of A Legend

Chapter 288: Madness!

"Oho? Seems like you found out something rather interesting. Your stance has changed too." grinned Eldar like a maniac as he approached Greg with small but steady steps.

Just like before, except for a few minor wounds on his arms and legs that was caused because of the debris, Eldar had no fatal injuries.

Greg watched as the distance between him and Eldar decreased with each second and asked Alice, "Where do you think the center of his Magic Array is?"

"It should be around his chest part. Magic Arrays' size differs thanks to their complexity. If an array is way too complex it can be as huge as a football field but if they are simple then it can be bean-sized too. However, this doesn't mean a thing cause those who learned about Magic Arrays for decades can make the Array to be smaller and smaller without losing its intricacy."

"So doesn't this mean he can have his Magic Array anywhere on his body? You know, we are talking about a freak who was able to create Arrays with a simple touch of his feet! If you ask me he must have learned Magic Arrays not a decade but close to a century!" exclaimed Greg as the distance at this time was less than a hundred meters.

"You are right," continued Alice calmly without caring about the approaching danger and said, "But even like that he must avoid forming the Array on points of his body that could affect him fatally. For example, no matter how big or small does he creates the Magic Array, he can't put it above his heart, his brain, or spine. If he does then preventing certain death will be so impossible that not even God could help him."

As Greg listened to this nodded his head mildly and asked, "So? His Magic Array should be?"

"Considering that his Array is affecting the entirety of his body, his whole body must have been covered with it, but its center must be somewhere really well protected... So that means it's either the middle of his chest or abdomen."

"I see." nodded Greg understanding now what he must aim at and moved.

His body lit up with white light while the air around him started to twist and turn with an almost invisible presence and like a ghost under the night sky manifested before Eldar's body. Expanding the light around his body causing the proximity to freezing in a single instant, Greg swung his fist at the center of Eldar's chest while gradually golden flames enveloped his arm.

However, even though not even one percent of a millisecond passed, on Eldar's face an ugly smile formed akin to a devil emerged from the deepest part of hell and moved too. Tilting his waist to the side barely evading Greg's arm, he pushed his feet forward to appear behind Greg, and like a viper his arms twisted around Greg's neck and head ready to spin it around.

"!?"

Seeling the approaching danger and the movement of Eldar's hand as it was about to snap his neck, the shadow below Greg's feet expanded, and like falling into ink he vanished and reappeared hundreds of meters away in a single instant.

But to his surprise, the very moment he emerged from below what waited for him was a disgusting grin inches away from his face and an approaching palm ready to tear his guts out from his stomach.

"He is too fast!" was the only thing Greg could think about as he used both of his wind and light element to increase the distance between him and Eldar, barely avoiding the fatal assault.

"Hmmm... I am truly surprised not gonna lie. Even though you only use a fraction of my ability because we still didn't reach the Evolution Step, but it is still surprising a human that could rival my power to such an extent... It's really amusing." Alice exclaimed with greater and deeper shock in her tone as Greg continued to avoid attacks one after another from Eldar.

"He is using Magic Arrays and his hypnotic ability to boost both his mental and physical powers. But how unfortunate, this will lead him to his own demise."

Greg naturally understood why, but he didn't have time to reply to that statement because right at the moment he was fighting against a foe he wouldn't have thought will be this difficult to take care of.

One fist toward his throat, one kick at his waist, one palm aiming at his stomach while a heel going at his head; no matter how ridiculous it impossible it sounded, Eldar's speed matched Greg's to such extent that all those four attacks happened at the same time from 4 different angles! And what was more each assault carried such power that the pressure around them was able to smash boulders into dust!

"This is on a whole other level of madness!" thought Greg and without hesitation activated all of his elements except the darkness.

In a flash, his body erupted with a blinding white light slowing the attacks around him down to an extent while his skin turned into Jade Ice instantly. At the same time, golden flames in a half-transparent state akin to winds flared up from his entirety turning the ground around him to melt into a boiling mass instantly.

Raising both his arms, the earth around him was lifted forming a protection barrier over his figure under a single instant, but unfortunately, they were completely useless; the very moment Eldar's assault reach them and was several inches away, they exploded and turned into nothingness from the mere air pressure that Eldar's attacks carried, causing Greg's figure to be revealed once again.

"You are dead!" laughed Eldar loudly with a maniac grin, his complexion holding not a bit of human sense; he totally lost every rational sense and right now he didn't care if Greg died or if he won't be able to open the Altar.

At this very moment, he wanted to show his superiority, showing he was stronger!

"He completely lost it." was what Greg thought but even like this his face didn't show any sign of fear or agony; instead he was smiling because he knew that he will be able to win.

Things would have been different if Eldar didn't become a crazy maniac but now that he didn't think properly, he had a chance.

But first, he needed to defend these 4 attacks before he could do anything else.

Instantly as he reached that point in his mind, all 4 attacks fell on his body, causing large chunks of floor debris to fly everywhere in the air as a massively enormous pit formed around Greg; it was like a huge bomb has been detonated below him.

"Hahaha! I-, huh?" Eldar was about to celebrate his victory, when suddenly realized that even though his attacks fell on Greg, it affected him not even a bit; except for small cracks on that Jade-like skin, nothing happened at all.

Instead, the golden wind flames that burned around his figure all this time caused his face to turn into a painful grimace.

"The hell is this?"
