Journey Of A Legend

Chapter 287: Hypnotize Oneself

Slowly standing up from the debris, Greg shook his arms and legs around to make the dust and debris to fall off his body and stared at Eldar before him in silence.

"How... Was he able to survive that? I am quite sure I hit him with enough power to turn all of his bones in his chest into powder." pondered Greg as he squinted his eyes, his gaze never leaving Eldar's figure.

With his light element's time slowing and his fire element's destructive power together with his tremendous physical strength, let alone injuring, he would be able to kill anyone with a single smash. Yet, Eldar not only did stand up from his attack that could bring even a God rank beast to the brink of death but he even looked at Greg like nothing special happened at all!

He just stood there in one place, with his wicked and ugly smile still etched on his face! There was no sign of him hurting at all!

"This man... Just how crazy is he?" asked Alice suddenly, her voice exhibiting deep shock with a mixture of anxiety too.

"What? Did you notice something?" asked Greg and started to inspect Eldar's body from top to bottom, but no matter where he looked at, he didn't seem to find anything strange at all; or he did, but it was the fact that Eldar was still able to move!

"This guy... He is truly a monster... A freak that used Magic Arrays on his own body! And what's more, he manipulated his mind with his Hypnosis! Just what did he think when he started to do something so hazardous?!"

When Greg heard what Alice said his expression stiffened while his heart skipped a beat out. Used Magic Arrays on his own body? What? Was this for real or did he heard it wrong? Magic Arrays used on his own body?

Magic Arrays were created from one's power that came from the Soul Stone and the Guardian. What did it mean to use Magic Array on one's body? Just think about it; what would happen if you pushed a pipe into one of your veins from outside and let blood flow out for a long period of time? Of course death! 

Magic Arrays were fueled by two things; an external power that was 'designed' into them to use just like the ones on Skyfall Mountain that transformed and transferred enemies' attacks into their own source of power or utilized internal powers that were inside objects or items they were carved or drawn onto; the former one was a temporary Magic Array, while the latter one was a permanent one.

Why? It was because Magic Arrays that used the power inside the things they were carved onto could be used until the source of the object was not depleted. Once the source was consumed, naturally the Magic Array will become useless and be destroyed too.

So hearing that Alice told him that Eldar was so brave or instead could be called stupid enough to draw a Magic Array onto his own body to achive greater strength was something that made Greg quite stupified.

"Don't you fear of death?" asked Greg suddenly, turning Eldar's wicked smile into a confused one.

"Fear? Do you mean if I am not scared of death? Of course, I am scared of dying! Only a fool would not. But the thing is..." began to talk Eldar and raised his finger, imitating a gun at Greg, "I don't give a single fuck! Hahahaha!"

"This guy went crazy. He used his own hypnotic ability on himself to erase the emotion of fear. Right now, not only does not have a clue about the fact he will die, but he thinks he is invincible; he is inside his own little world!" explained Alice calmly, her voice holding a dire tone.

"..." Greg upon hearing this could do nothing but stay silent and ponder. Right now, he was against not only an enemy, but he was facing a man that was both mentally and physically a freak. 

"Can you tell me what kind of Magic Array did he use?" asked Greg, but deep inside his heart he somewhat had an idea.

And just as he thought, Alice's reply didn't surprise him, "Nullification Array, and to top it off a complex one. It can not only nullify any attacks directed at him but even a physical one too."

"Just as I have thought." nodded Greg lightly and took up a stance; pushing his right leg a bit forward while raising his fist before him as his left fist was lowered next to his waist, he started at Eldar in the distance.

"Oh? Try to struggle until you can? I told you, you won't be able-"

*BAM!*

However, Eldar was unable to finish his sentence, because the next moment he blinked what he felt was a sharp pain piercing into his waist, and his figure was blasted far away into the distance.

*BOOM!*

"You!" groaned Eldar angrily as he stood up from the debris his body formed after he crashed into the pillar and started at Greg in deep silence; his hatred now was visible even if a fool looked at him.

*BOOM!*

Yet, just like how the previous time, in a flash Greg appeared before him and the next thing he could see was a fist right in his face and huge pieces of debris as they fell on him right after his body crashed into a pillar hundreds of meters away.

"What is your plan?" asked Alice from Greg even though she saw as Greg used both his Light and Wind element at the same time to surpass speed that humans can't detect or follow.

"I will hit him over and over again until the Magic Array on his body won't vanish. Either that or his body will collapse under my strength, I don't really care. The point here is to defeat him once and for all because right at the moment, he is just way too dangerous!"

"His body won't collapse under your strength even if you miraculously become 10 times stronger. The only way is to erase that Magic Array around his body and victory is yours."

"Then what do you suggest what should I do?" asked Greg seriously, as he watched Eldar stand up from the debris once again, but this time with a terrifyingly dark complexion; he was, without a mistake, extremely irritated and angry.

"What should I suggest? Well, if you ask me, your Demon Mask's power would be a great solution, but even that won't work. Nullification power on Nullification... It's simply impossible. However..."

"However?" asked Greg, noticing that suddenly Alice stopped talking.

"However, if you can activate your Demon Mask's power at the very right moment when you hit him at the center of his Magic Array, maybe you could cause a minor error in his Array. And if that happens..."

"Then he will be vulnerable for a limited amount of time. I see. Sound like a perfect plan for me." exclaimed Greg calmly as a slight curve emerged at the side of his mouth.

"Then let's try it out," said Greg with a tranquil complexion and touched the black smiling Demon Mask that was on his face ever since the beginning of this fight.
