Journey Of A Legend

Chapter 254: Under Attack

While everyone was looking toward the direction where Greg punched the man away until then the man himself stood up slowly from the ground.

The man was wearing a black piece of clothing with a hoodie above his head. He had a mask too on his face, but because of Greg's punch before, half of the mask turned to dust, revealing his face a bit.

"It's him.", said Joe, indicating that the man before them was Shadow, who he just talked about.

Glancing at the man, who looked extremely calm, the six was ready to fight. But to their great surprise, Shadow suddenly waved his hand and just like that he vanished into thin air.

"Where did he go?", asked Greg, looking at his proximity without letting his guard down even for a second.

"You can relax. He went away.", told Joe calmly after a small while and said, "It seems he understood he wouldn't be able win by himself, so he retreated. But I fear that like this, it will be only a matter of time they find the entrance."

"How was he able to enter in the first place?", asked Russ with a deep frown.

He felt that the man used neither shadow-associated powers to travel through shadows nor teleported. 

It was just like his body manifested out of nowhere like a ghost.

"His Guardian is able to make him become one with the air. Basically, he can become invisible for a limited time.", said Joe as he looked at Mila.

"But that is not an explanation how he was able to enter this place.", said Wayne with a frown.

And what he said was true. Even though one was able to become one with the air, that didn't mean one was able to enter places that one was oblivious about.

"Maybe you are right, but he can detect anyone through a power similar to air vibrations. He definitely discovered that the Mountain's interior had a huge open space through some small gaps."

"So he has a power very similar to my First Flow, but the only difference he can detect things with a bigger area.", thought Greg as he listened to Joe's explanation.

When they heard this, everyone remained silent. Such power was extremely powerful, and if it weren't for Greg, Mila would have been lying on the ground cold dead.

As they thought about this, Russ raised his head and said, "It seems they started to move."

"?"

And just after he said that a huge tremor shook the whole mountain.

*BOOM!*

*TREMBLE!!*

"It seems they try to enter the interior by forcing their own way through. And ask I can see, they are doing it from several directions", said Wayne as he looked around.

"What should we do?", asked Mila instantly.

While everyone turned silent in the hope of looking for solutions, Greg crouched down and touched the ground.

"Let me try something."

Instantly as he did that, he closed his eyes and concentrated on the earth below his palm.

Instantly, after he activated his Fourth Flow, several pictures formed inside his head.

"One... Two... Six... Twelve... As I can see it, there are altogether 12 groups from 12 different directions."

"12... Are they close to each other?", asked Russ instantly.

However, Greg simply shook his head and said, "Considering the mountain's size and height, yes."

When Russ heard this he smiled. Knowing that it was a matter of time before they dig their way into the interior, he wanted to go out and stop them.

But, before he could have done anything, Greg stopped him and said, "But I will stop all of them at once."

"?"

Everyone hearing this looked surprised, but before any of them would have been able to ask him how, a sudden tremor sounded once again.

*TREMBLE!!!*

"!?"

Looking up, Wayne and Russ looked surprised, while Joe, Mila, and Emma could only look around in confusion.

As this happened, outside the mountain, as the Dia Family was digging their way deep into Skyfall Mountain, suddenly the earth shook and moved.

"Watch out!", shouted a man suddenly who was standing outside the tunnel, but it was too late.

Just before anyone could have reacted, the narrow tunnel they dug so far moved, and with a sudden motion closed, smashing everyone together without mercy.

"!?"

Scott, Henry, and Joe's Father saw this happening too and turned speechless. Because they were at one of the groups too which dug a tunnel, they saw as the earth moved and smashed every member in the passage in one single second.

Everything happened so suddenly and unexpectedly, that they were unable to react in time and help their subordinates.

"It must be him!", said with an ice-cold expression Joe's father, knowing that who did this was Greg.

Even Scott and Henry looked angry, not believing that Greg was able to kill their family members without any mercy at all.

"He will pay for it!"

However, Greg was as calm as ever. From his point of view, the Dia Family was the one who started all of this, so it was inevitable.

First, they tried to use Joe to bring him back and use him to their advantage, but because they have failed to do so, they tried to use force. And after that attempt fell flat too, they decided to attack them, and what was even worse that they attempted to kill one of his friends.

No matter who asks him, in his opinion, they finally deserved this warning. 

"If you start a war, bear the consequences.", thought Greg with terrifying calmness and looked at the others.

"They won't try anything for a good time. We are okay for the time being."

Russ looking at Greg stayed silent. Maybe Greg's friends were unable to detect what happened on the outside, but he and Wayne perfectly could.

Seeing as Greg crashed hundreds of people into smashed meat by the use of his earth element, made them speechless and a bit scared.

No matter how strong or how high in rank one was, this act was unpredictable. You could be above God's rank and have heaven-defying power, no one could survive if the earth suddenly closes on them with such power in a narrow tunnel.

But it was only natural that the two were so shocked. They never saw Greg angry before, so seeing him like this now was their very first time.

"Killing so many people without using his full strength... He became quite a scary individual.", thought Russ as he looked at Greg.

"Now then, even though they stopped, it doesn't mean we are safe. They know that we are here, so sooner or later they will find a way in.", said Mila as he looked at this calmly.

"Yes, especially that Shadow guy. If he finds the entrance in the inside, we will be doomed.", said Emma approvingly.

However, to this statement, Greg just shook his head and said, "Not exactly."

"Why?", asked Joe, while the others too looked at him in confusion.

Greg on the other hand just smiled and said, "Just think about it. This whole place has only one entrance. Even they find out where it is and how to enter, that would only help us."

"How? If all hundreds of them run inside at the same time, we will be unable to fight off all of them. Especially in such a narrow path.", said Mila with a slightly raised eyebrow.

"You are wrong. Just because it is a narrow path, that's why we will be able to defend successfully.", said Greg.

"Just what do you think will happen if hundreds of people decide to rush in at the same time?"

"..."

Seeing their silence, Greg said calmly, "They will die."

"!?"

When the two girls heard this, they turned shocked and Emma said immediately, "You want to kill them? But they are..."

As she said that, she glanced at Joe on the side, not knowing how to finish her sentence.

However, Joe just simply shook his head and said, "I already told you. I have nothing to do with the Dia Family. Also, the fact alone that they decided to attack us and attempted to kill Mila, makes me still mad. And that is why I don't care. If they want war so bad, I will give them."

Listening to this, Emma and Mila turned silent, while in their eyes sorrow could be seen.

To think that Joe reached such a point with his own family made them feel awfully sad.

"Well, that is settled then. If they try to dig down again, I will stop them, but until then, we should look out for the entrance.", said Greg after hearing Joe.

And just as Greg said those words, Russ turned his head toward the exit's direction and a small while later said, "It seems he has already found it. Let's go."

Knowing Russ was talking about Shadow, everyone nodded and without hesitation started to run toward the entrance.
