Journey Of A Legend

Chapter 20: Strange Solution

As Greg saw that Sam was killed with only two attacks, cold sweats appeared on his back.

The red-skinned fairy, after cutting it's enemy's head off, looked at Greg with the same cold face, while it's gaze felt like it was piercing through Greg's chest.

"Sh*t! I need to do something or I'm done for!", thought Greg and with Alice's wind ability, he appeared before the fairy with his daggers.

However, the creature's reaction was too fast. Just as Greg appeared before it, with a fast and smooth move, it flew behind Greg and raised it's hand, ready to cut his head off.

Seeing this, Greg without any hesitation, used his speed boost ability again and appeared behind the creature's back, but the fairy did the same thing as before and flew behind him.

The two tried to finish their enemy off from behind, but every time some of them tried it, the other one would appear from behind, so this infinite loop appeared between the two.

As time went by, Greg started to feel dizzy, clenched his teeth, and thought, "It's not good. I need to find a solution now!"

In an instant, Greg made a tough decision. Just as the fairy appeared behind him and slashed, he spun around and as he raised his hand, a golden shield appeared on his arm.

*Clang!*

A metallic voice came from the shield, while cracks started to appear all around it like spider webs.

"If I defend against the same attack like this, my shield will turn into dust for sure.", thought Greg shockingly, however, because he deflected the previous attack, now the fairy was wide open.

Using this opportunity, Greg appeared before the fairy in an instant and slashed toward it with his dagger.

*Slash!*

The fairy's reaction was fast, but for Greg's luck, he could make a small scar on the fairy's body. However just like before, because of the rank difference, the freezing power was almost zero.

"I should use Alice's freezing, but I don't think that would help."

Greg wanted to make a few more scars on the creature's body to make the freezing power more effective, but try as he wants, he couldn't even touch its hair even a bit.

When the battle has been going on for almost thirty minutes, Greg felt that he started to reach his limits already.

"That's not good. I really ne... Wait.", as Greg was thinking about a solution, suddenly an idea appeared in his head.

"That would be useful. What if, I don't kill it, but just seal it? Let's give it a try."

With a serious expression, Greg stood still and looked at the fairy.

The creature thought that its enemy gave up, so it appeared before Greg and was read to kill him, but suddenly Greg talked.

"Come with me for a sec please."

As the fairy's and his's shadows fused together, Greg used Alice's dark element and the two fell into the darkness below.

Greg saw as the creature came down with him and he was really delighted.

"Let's see if I can go up while leaving this thing here."

Just as he said this, a strong suction pulled his body up, while the fairy stayed in the darkness. Seeing this, Greg sighed in relief.

However just as he thought he survived, a wind blade came toward him out of nowhere. Because he couldn't dodge in there, Greg raised his hand and summoned his golden shield.

*Shatter!*

Like fallen glass touching the ground, the shield broke into pieces after taking the hit, but because of this, Greg could escape out from the darkness safely.

After he came back up, he made sure to stop using Alice's dark element and looked at his shadow.

Luckily, the red-skinned fairy couldn't come up without his help, but because of this, Greg felt as he gained a few kilograms.

"So I can put people or things in my shadow, but for exchange, I get extra weight. It's like I wear a weight vest or something like that."

As he thought about this, he suddenly realized that he wasn't alone. Those hundreds of fairies were all around him.

Just as he was ready to fight, suddenly the creatures started to tremble and flew far away in an instant.

Greg looked confused and thought, "They think I killed their leader, so maybe that's why they all ran away?"

As Greg was thinking about this, suddenly he heard footsteps behind him, so he turned around.

He saw Emma and Mila running toward him with strangers behind them.

"Greg!! Are you okay? Where is Sam?", asked Emma as she looked at him.

As an answer, Greg just shook his head and stepped aside, showing Sam's headless body lying on the ground.

Seeing the body, Emma ran next to it and started to scream as she cried.

"SAM!! PLEASE MY LORD! PLEASE NO!! WHY??!"

A guy in a leather jacket looked around and saw the ground full of fairy corpse. After a while, he looked at Sam's body and walked toward it.

"Step aside kid."

Emma looked at the man, sniffed, and asked while tears rolled down on her cheeks, "Why? What can you do? He is dead! Nothing can bring him back now! He is gone! And it's all because of me!"

"I said step aside."

Hearing the stern voice, Mila walked behind Emma and took her away a few meters, while looking at the man strangely.

Seeing that no one was near him, the man put his hand out and suddenly a small creature appeared in his hand.

It was a creature with four small arms and two legs. It had snow-white skin without any eyes, mouth, or nose and it had only two ears.

The small creature jumped down from the man's arm and touched Sam's body.

Suddenly a white light enveloped the body and a shocking scene happened before everyone.

Emma, Mila, and Greg, all of them looked at what they just saw with a dumbstruck expression.

Like time flowing backward, Sam's blood started to go back inside his body and his headless body stood back up. A while later the head, which was on the ground, flew back into the air and attached itself back onto the neck, then a second later the same thing happened to the arm.

After the light dissipated, Sam opened his eyes in shock and touched his face and arm, while gasping for air.

"D-did I just... Did I just got revived?"

Emma and Mila looked shocked. It was like magic happened before them a second ago, but seeing Sam talking, the two got extremely happy and ran toward him and hugged him.

"I knew you wouldn't die! I knew it!", cried Mila as she hugged Sam's waist.

Sam looked shocked as the two hugged him suddenly, but after a while, he hugged them back, and with a smile, he said, "I don't know how I survived, but I'm glad we are all fine."

After confirming Sam was okay, the small creature disappeared and the man walked toward the three and asked, "So? Can you tell me what just happened and how did you survive?"

The three looked at each other and a while later all of them looked at Greg. Seeing their gaze, the man looked at Greg with a questioning look too.

Seeing their look, Greg pointed at himself and asked confusedly, "Why me?"
