Journey Of A Legend

Chapter 21: Soul Pet

"Why me?"

Emma stepped forward and said, "You were the one who helped us escape and call for help, so basically we all survived thanks to you."

"I just did what I had to, but all of us helped each other. And what is more, if that man didn't come, Sam would be still dead, so it's not just my credit."

The man heard what Greg just said and opened his mouth.

"What I just did for your friend, naturally comes with a price. But you were the only one here who fought against those fairies and what is more, your friend was killed by something more dangerous than those common creatures. So tell me, what happened here?"

Greg looked at the man and thought about what to say. After thinking for a while, he ended up telling the truth. He told him how they met the fairies, how did he rescue Emma and Mila, how did he and Sam get trapped by the fairies, and in the end how did Sam die.

Listening to Greg's story, the man frowned deeper and deeper as he heard more of what happened.

After Greg finished talking, the man looked confused and started to think for a while.

A bit later he looked at Greg and said, "Bring that fairy out."

Greg knew that, if someone has a Soul Creature, which can revive even the dead, then that figure shouldn't be a weak figure at all. So doing as the man said, Greg used Alice's dark element and his shadow grew wider and wider.

A few seconds later a red light flashed out from his shadow with an insane speed and stopped in the air.

The man looked at the red fairy and frowned even deeper. As the creature saw the people around it, it decided to escape.

However, just as it could fly away, six half-transparent walls appeared, trapping the fairy in the middle, as the walls made a cube-shaped trap.

The man looked behind him and saw a young lady, who used her ability to trap the creature. After a nod, the man turned back his gaze to the fairy and walked next to it.

Seeing as the man walked toward it, the creature raised its hand and slashed a few times, but no matter what it tried to do, it couldn't break free from the walls.

The man looked at the fairy with a serious expression and a bit later he opened his mouth.

"Let's take this back with us."

Hearing the order, the lady nodded and started to walk down the mountain as the fairy, which was trapped by her, was hovering behind her.

The man looked at the four before him and said calmly, "What happened here should be reported back to the Association, so I need you to come with me."

Emma, Mila, and Sam nodded and started to walk down the mountain, but Greg just stood there looking toward the mountaintop.

The man saw this and asked with a frown, "Hey kid. What are you looking at?"

Greg looked at the man and after a small hesitation, he asked, "Sir. I don't want to be rude, but before I go with you, can I ask for permission to clear this zone up?"

Hearing the unexpected question, the man watched Greg's expression looking for anything that showed that he was joking, but it looked like he wasn't.

The man started to think for a while and nodded.

"Sure, you can. Since you guys wanted to clear this place alone in the first, you have the right to do so. I will wait outside until then."

Hearing the answer, Greg's eyes shone with excitement, and with a bow, he thanked the man.

Seeing as Greg was running toward the mountaintop, the man looked at his back and thought, "Strange... He is only in the first rank, yet he can fight a foe like that all alone. He is definitely more than he looks."

Not knowing what the man thought about him, Greg ran upward and every time he found a corpse, he made sure to take out the energy crystals from it and consume it.

'Low-class Energy Crystal Consumed'

'Low-class Energy Crystal Consumed'

'Middle-class Energy Crystal Consumed'

As pieces of information appeared in his head, Greg looked extremely happy and thought, "If this goes on, it will take no time to rank up."

As time went by, Greg consumed more and more energy crystals, but almost every one of them was just low-class ones, so one only gave him 1 point, while the Middle-class ones gave him 5.

After a while, he arrived where they started to run back down. There he saw the last corpse on the ground with a shiny stone coming out of its chest.

Greg looked at his adats on his watch and saw that he needed 13 more to get into the Manifester rank.

"Please be a high-class one. I didn't get one yet, so pretty please!"

As he was pleading, he picked up the energy stone and started to consume it, and a while later a piece of information appeared in his head.

'Low-class Energy Crystal Consumed'

"D*mn! Why is my luck so bad? Does Lady Luck not love me?"

Greg was a bit angry, but because he couldn't do anything with what just happened, he could only sigh in the end.

He looked up toward the summit and seeing as he was far away, he used Alice's light element and started to run.

As his speed accelerated, it didn't even take him 5 minutes to get to the top. Arriving there, he stopped using Alice's power and looked at the floating black orb before him.

"So this is the dimensional core. I wonder what type of creature will this one be."

Without any hesitation, he touched the orb, and after it disappeared into his Soul Stone, strange information appeared in his head.

'Mutant Soul Fairy: Wind Sailer'

'Rank: Awakened'

'Type: Pet (Operational)'

"What the hell is this?"

Greg knew that Soul Pet's existed, but their only role was to defend the owner, while they can't attack. So basically they were meat shields.

However this one wasn't only just a mutant one, which was strange in the first place, but it could even be used as a combatant creature.

Greg opened his watch and looked at the fairy's information.

{Wind Sailer} (Mutant)

Rank: Manifester

Type: Pet (Operational)

Powers: Wind Slash, Wind Sailing

Energy Crystals: 0/500

(Can rank up twice)
