Journey Of A Legend

"Me? I'm one of the seven general under the Giant King's hand, Kragnas!"

"WOOOOAAAAAHHHH!!!!"

Hearing their leader's loud shout, all the giants in the hall raised their colossal hands and cheered toward the sky, which made Greg and the others utterly shocked.

As the giants cheered their leader, Skull on the sidestepped a bit closer to Kyle and started to whisper quietly.

"What should we do?"

Kyle looked at the man above them, but couldn't say a word. He wasn't sure if they would even stand a chance against a monster like that.

Feeling their gazes, the man stopped smiling and looked at the 8 below him with a sharp glare.

"To show my gratitude, I will fight all of you, without any of my soldiers' help. If you beat me you can leave from here alive."

Listening to this, everyone was surprised and felt a tiny of hope. However, Kyle's face didn't show even a tiny bit of happiness, no, instead his face was ice cold.

"You seem to say that, but if I'm right we will all die here even if we beat you. Except if we don't kill all your followers and you, we won't leave alive from here."

Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed instantly. However Kragnas face looked even happier.

"Hahaha! You are a smart one! Haha!", shouted loudly, but a second later his expression turned dead serious.

"However, you made a small mistake boy. You will not defeat me, not in a thousand years."

In an instant, as he said that, a huge explosion occurred and like a lightning, a fist appeared before Jake's chest.

"Huh?"

"Die."

*KA-BOOOOOM!*

With an enormous explosion, Jake's upper body exploded into pieces of flesh and blood, while the floor below the man's feet cracked and broke into several parts.

"NOOO! YOU BASTARD!!!"

Watching as his friend was killed, David next to him roared angrily and after raising his stick above his head, he chopped toward the man's head.

Watching David's act, Kyle on the side shouted in the hope to stop him, but it was too late.

Kragnas on the other hand watched the incoming attack with an ice-cold expression and with a sudden spin, he kicked toward David's waist.

"Know your place, you annoying brat."

*BOOOM!*

Just like that, David's body turned into nothing but broken bones and smashed meat, which flew into the air, making Greg and the others on the side feel even more terrified.

Kragnas after killing both Jake and David turned around slowly and smiled at Kyle and the others.

"Everything happened too fast!", thought Greg as he stepped back.

Kyle on the side pulled out his sword from its scabbard, and pointed the tip toward the man, while his face looked dead serious.

"Ben. I know it's a selfish request, but please help me."

Hearing this, Ben summoned the two gloves onto his fists and hit them together as he smiled slightly.

"Do I have another choice?"

Seeing them this brave, Skull and Rose looked at each other and after a nod, they stepped forward too.

"Yeah, let's teach him a lesson!", said Skull as a book appeared in his hand.

Greg and Joe looked at the three before them and knowing that there were no other choices for them to choose from, they also stepped forward.

Watching them acting this brave, the man smiled and said, while chuckling, "Oh look at this, the rumors are really true. When there's death on the corner, humans can always depend on each other. However, this doesn't change the fact you will all die here."

With that, the man appeared in an instant before Rose ready to punch her head with his gigantic fist.

However, just as the fist was about to touch Rose's head, a black sword come out of nowhere and hit it, resulting in Kragnas's hand to miss his target.

*BOOOOM!*

But even after that Kyle deflected the man's attack in time, a huge shockwave broke out from the man's fist, making all of them to fly away and explode onto the wall in the distance.

"Blargh!"

Greg and Joe after hitting the wooden wall, instantly vomited up a huge amount of blood, while shock could be seen in their eyes.

"Only just a shockwave made this much damage to us... This man is a monster!", thought Greg as he was struggling to stand up.

*BOOOM*

Hearing another explosion, he looked up to see what was happening, only to see Kyle and Ben fighting with everything they got with that terrifying man.

Turning his gaze to the side, he saw as Joe was struggling to stand up too, while Rose was kneeling next to Skull while using her healing on him.

"F*ck! If I wasn't this weak, I could have helped them, even if it's just a bit! But like this..."

*Clatter*

As he was thinking about what to do, suddenly the energy crystals from the bag he was wearing started to fall out one by one.

Looking at the numerous shiny crystals, Greg thought about something and touched one of them.

In an instant as his hand contacted with the crystal, it started to melt into his skin and a while later a piece of information appeared in his head.

'Middle-class energy crystal consumed'

Feeling no changes, Greg clenched his teeth and touch another one.

"I don't believe I can't rank up!"

As he said that the crystals started to melt into his palm one by one, making information after information appearing in his head.

Joe looked at Greg with a strange expression and asked, "What are you doing? We need to help them!"

Greg however didn't say a word and continued to consume the crystals.

Seeing this, Joe looked a bit angry but knew that Greg had his reason to do what he was doing, so after standing up he raised his hands.

In an instant, a huge black vortex appeared above the hall, while huge thunderbolts flashed from it from time to time.

"Strike!"

As Joe shouted, a gigantic thunderbolt appeared out of the cloud, going toward the man with terrifying might and speed.

Because Kragnas was busy dealing with Kyle and Ben, he didn't have time to dodge, letting the attack to hit his body easily.

"KA-BOOOOOM!*

After the strike, an insanely huge explosion and shockwave occurred, making Kyle and the others to be shocked by Joe's attack.

"This power... Is he really just a third rank fighter?", thought Kyle as he looked at Joe in the distance.

As the attack continued for a few seconds, no scream could be heard, which made Joe and the others feel a tiny hope.

"Maybe it was effect-"

Just as Ben wanted to say something, suddenly the thunderbolt before them disappeared, revealing Kragnas's standing figure.

However, after looking at the man's body, their expression hardened in an instant.

"Haha... Hahaha... HAHAHA!!"

Not only did Kragnas not had any injury, but instead he started to laugh madly while turning around to look at Joe.

"You are interesting! Let's fight!"

However just as he was about to attack Joe, he felt something was wrong and turned his face to the side.

Seeing as Kragnas turned his gaze to the side, everyone watched where he was looking, only to see as Greg was kneeling on the floor while he consumed the crystals one by one.

"Huh?"

Kyle looked at this scene with a confused expression, but a while later that expression turned into shock.

It was because as Greg was consuming the crystals, the air around him started to move gently, while a mysterious power could be felt growing from his body.

With each second as he consumed the crystals, Greg felt a strange power inside his body ready to break up into the surface, making him feel a bit of hope.

"Come on! Come on! Come on!"

Kragnas saw this scene and felt that if he doesn't do something with that brat, something unexpected will happen, so as a result, he forgot about Joe and decided to attack Greg first.

However just as he was about to attack, Kyle appeared on his side, while slashing at his neck with his sword.

Watching this, Kragnas was a bit annoyed and hit the sword in Kyle's hand, making it break into pieces easily.

Without further hesitation, Kragnas appeared before Greg and raised his hand, while a creepy smile appeared on his face.

"WATCH OUT!"

Hearing Kyle's shout, Greg looked up and saw a terrifying fist coming at his face, but somehow he didn't do anything. It wasn't because didn't want to, but because his body was unable to move.

As he thought this will be the end for him, suddenly an unfamiliar voice appeared in his head.

'Limiter Unlocked'

***

In a far place, in a huge and majestic palace, five creatures with different appearances were sitting in a huge hall.

They were talking between each other when suddenly all of their faces turned toward a single direction.

One of the creatures, with a bald head and a sword in hand stood up slowly, while not taking its eyes off from the direction he was looking at.

However a second later, somehow he started to smile and in an instant space around it started to vibrate slightly.

"It seems she finally showed herself after this long time."
