Journey Of A Legend

Chapter 250: Element Consumption

"Just what happened?", asked Greg with confusion as he looked at his body.

He could clearly feel like the elements his body just consumed, melted into the respected Flow associated with their elements.

After they melted and turned into a part of the Flow, nothing else happened. Except for his Fourth Flow though.

The moment the pieces of stones melted into his body and became a part of his Fourth Flow, Greg felt like his control over his earth element became a bit sharper and greater.

The feeling was quite a strange one though.

"That is called Element Consumption.", said Alice suddenly inside Greg's head.

"Element Consumption?"

"Yes.", said Alice and started to explain, " This was one of my main powers in the past. It let me consume every 6 elements and transforms them into my own power."

"!"

The moment Greg heard this looked surprised and asked, "So from now on I can consume any element without a problem?"

"Well, not exactly any."

"How come?", asked Greg with a slight frown.

"You can consume any of the six elements, but it does not mean any type of them. For example, you would be unable to consume your friend's purple flames or that creature's cursed fire. You can only consume what nature created or elements that are pure and have no other properties."

"So for example, if one attacks me with pure fire skill I can consume that, but if that attack holds other power than fire I can't?"

"Exactly.", replied Alice calmly.

"I see...", said Greg, but after a bit later he asked, "Wait... Then it means I will be able to consume darkness and light too?"

However, for that question, Alice just simply chuckled and said, "For that to happen, you need to live for at least a million years. Not even I was able to do such a feat. I could only consume the 4 basic elements and no more that."

"I see...", said Greg quietly and after thinking for a while stood up.

"Well, at least I have formed my Third Layer, so only 2 remains. But before I continue to form them, I need to rest.", said Greg and started to walk out.

However, the moment he walked out of the gap he created on the 25th floor, Greg noticed as his friends, Russ and Wayne were standing on the small island in the middle of the lake in the distance.

"What are they doing there?", asked Greg with a slight frown and without hesitation, appeared into thin air.

"What should we do with this? There is no way we can unlock such a complicated seal.", said Russ with a frown as he looked at the door on the ground.

"Hey, guys. What did you find?"

Hearing the familiar voice, every one of them turned around and looked happy as they saw Greg approaching them slowly.

Seeing the familiar faces Greg smiled, but frowned the next second.

"Where is Jay?", asked Greg.

"He said he needed to do something so went away.", said Emma as she looked at Greg with a smile.

"I see.", nodded Greg and looked at Russ.

"So? Did you find something interesting?"

Looking up at Greg, Russ pointed at the door before him and said, "We did, but we can't open it. There is a very complicated seal on it that prevents me to unlock it."

When Greg heard this, he glanced at the door on the ground. It was a simple wooden trap door, but the foreign symbols and carvings drew on it made it look quite special.

"Did you try to dig in from the side?", asked Greg, but knew the answer already.

"Yes.", nodded Wayne and pointed at the side where a huge hole could be discerned next to the trap door.

Seeing that, Greg nodded and after thinking for a while he said, "Let me try something."

When Russ saw that Greg was crouching next to him, he just shook his head and said, "It is useless. No matter how much force you use, you won't b-, huh?"

However, just before he could have finished his sentence, suddenly Greg's body liquid and like water, it vanished below the ground through the miniature gaps, where not even a hair could have fit.

"!?"

The moment the girls and the two men saw this, they turned shocked and speechless and watched as, except Greg's clothing, every part of his body vanished.

"Wha-What happened with him?", asked Emma instantly, fearing that maybe the seal had some kind of powerful defending mechanism, making Greg to die.

"Don't worry. That is one of his abilities."

"Huh? Abilities? What do you mean by that? If I am right, his abilities are about controlling the six elements and not shapeshifting!"

Seeing their confused and worried expressions, Jie sighed and said, "Long story short, the moment we came here, we accidentally found a pond that made him fuse together one of his Soul Creator. From that moment on, he can shape his body at will."

"!"

When they heard this, all four looked stupified, not knowing how to react at all.

Russ looking at Joe who was saying the truth, opened his mouth ask a question, but before he could have done so, the trapdoor exploded into pieces.

*BOOM!*

"Whew... It was easier than I have thought. Maybe they put a powerful seal on the outside, but if there is none on the inside, it is as weak as a normal door.", said Greg as he climbed up.

However, as he said that, everyone turned silent, but it wasn't because of what he said, but the reason how he was currently looking.

"Umm... Greg... Take some cloth... You are fully naked...", said Joe calmly as he handed Greg's clothes to him without hesitation.

"Eh?", was the only thing Greg was able to say, but the moment he noticed that he was truly naked, he instantly took his clothes away from Joe and started to get dressed.

Emma and Mila on the side seeing this blushed instantly and turned around, while Russ and Wayne started to cough awkwardly.

"..."

"W-well... That was unexpected. Sorry, I forgot this train of my ability.", said Greg with a wry smile after he dressed up completely again.

"Don't worry about it.", waved Russ his hand slightly, and turned to look at the trapdoor.

"But to tell the truth, I am quite surprised what you just did. Joe told us how, but it's still shocking you have obtained such powers."

"Yeah, it was one of my Soup Creature's abilities, which let me shapeshift it with a thought of mine. But, since the fusion, I have obtained this trait of it's completely."

As Greg said that, he raised his hand and instantly his palm changed shape into a blade.

When the two men and the girls saw this, their expression turned stupified, and looked at Greg with shock.

As everyone knows, one can use their Soul Creature's abilities to some extent, but not completely.

So it is not a surprise to see someone flying around even though that individual's Guardian had no flying ability.

However, the power to freely shapeshift one's body was never heard so far. First, there was no Soul Creature in existence so far that let the owner shapeshift.

Even if there was someone whose Guardian had such powers, then the Soul Stone would definitely be a red one or even a white one.

But so far, no one appeared with such Guardians, showing Greg was the very first one in existence to hold such powers.

"This guy slowly becomes more and more inhuman.", thought Russ as he looked at Greg with a calm expression.

While he thought about that, Greg looked down the trapdoor and asked, "By the way, why was it so important to open this trapdoor. Do you know what is down there?"

"Definitely not.", answered Wayne and crouched down next to the trapdoor.

"However, if something has such a great and complicated seal on it, that should mean there is something extremely valuable, no?"

"That is true.", nodded Greg in agreement and said, "Then let's find it out!"

Instantly as he said that Greg jumped through the gap, making the rest to follow him closely behind.

"It's a kind of dark here. Can you make light here?", asked Emma from Mila quietly as she looked around in the darkness.

"Sure.", replied Mila, and after she raised her hand purplish flames started to dance around her palm.

Knowing that it wouldn't make the full place to be lit up, Greg raised his hand too and summoned golden flames around his palm, making the whole place go lit up instantly.

"It seems we will need to take a small jump to find out what lays here.", said Greg calmly as he looked at the sight before him.

Hearing his voice, all 5 behind him stepped next to Greg, but when they did, their eyes widened with surprise.

Right before them, a huge hole could be seen, which width was almost a mile.

No, instead of calling it a hole, it could be instead called as a bottomless pit, that looked like an abyss filled with endless darkness.
