Journey Of A Legend

"What should that mean?", asked Greg from Alice instantly.

"It means exactly what I said. You need to form a connection between your Final and First Flow if you need to reach the Mind Grade."

"..."

The moment Greg heard this, he turned silent with an ice-cold expression and started to think.

So far, the points he created between two Flows were at least an inch or two apart from each other.

However, for that small gap, he still needed a huge amount of time to form a bridge. Furthermore, during that time, he felt the pain would grow with each time he approached the Mind Grade, so the process became even harder than normal.

Maybe the Flows inside his body were formed in a chaotic and complex way, but it had a pattern too that Greg realized since the beginnings.

At the very outer part, it was the First Flow that could be found, while in the very inner part, close to his chest part where his heart was, the Final Flow existed.

Every Flow was smaller than the previous one, that's why the six Flows inside his body formed a shaped similar to that of a small circle inside a smaller one.

The First one was the biggest, while the Final Flow was the smallest. Also, at the same time, they were the two Flows that were the furthest apart from each other given the positions in his body.

Forming a connection between each other was simply impossible. Especially with the Soul Pain, he would feel at that time during the Soul Tempering process.

So far, Greg felt a pain which felt like they were cutting his flesh from the inside, so the pain at that time would be unimaginable!

"Theoretically, you should be able to move the Final Flow's layer in your body all the way back to the First Flow, so it is possible."

"I know it's possible. I don't actually care about that, but instead the Soul Tempering process.", said Greg with a slight frown.

"Yeah, if you reach the point where you need to create the bridge between your two furthest Flows, the pain will be questionably great. Not even I can predict the degree of the pain." 

Listening to this, Greg sighed slightly and said quietly, "That didn't really help me..."

Sitting outside on the roof for a small while more, Greg stood up and sighed.

"Well, for me to get stronger, that is what I need to do. Soul Tempering process here or there, I will reach the Mind Grade no matter what!"

With that and a determined expression, Greg turned around and walked back into the building.

So far as he knew, because of the pain, he was feeling during the connection creating process, Greg knew he could only create one bridge at a time.

"It will take a while for me to reach the final part, but if nothing occurs, I will be able to finish under 3 days."

With that in mind, Greg closed his eyes and started to form the next connection between his Fourth and Fifth Flow, while his friends were underground around the black pond.

However, what he and his friends didn't know was that outside their base, right among the woods, several people were looking at Skyfall Mountain from the shadows with sharp glares.

Among them, three happened to be one's that Greg and the others knew quite well. They were Scott, Henry, and Joe's father.

It was obviously the Dia Family and it seemed they came here with quite a huge number of people.

"Sir! Are you sure they are on Skyfall Mountain?", asked Scott, as he looked at the huge mountain before him.

"Yes. I can predict where they are, but I can't pinpoint their exact position or location. However, it is 100% certain that they are here somewhere on this mountain."

Listening to Joe's father, who now held huge respect and authority because of the Dia Family's sudden rise, Scott nodded and looked at a man on his side.

"Send a scout team in and report back before midnight. We can't let them escape once again!"

"Roger!"

With a solid and respected salute, the man vanished into the woods, with several shadows following him closely behind.

Henry's eyes seeing this turned a bit sad, but knew no matter what he said, his opinion here wouldn't matter at all and would instead make him killed.

Closing his eyes and sighing gently, Henry looked toward the sky and whispered quietly, "How did we come until this point?"

***

While Greg and his friends were inside Skyfall Mountain with the Dia Family around them without their knowledge, until then somewhere else, Eliana and Zane were flying in the sky gently.

"We have been searching for days and we still didn't find anything. Are you sure it will be somewhere here?", asked Zane calmly as he looked around.

However, no matter where he looked at, what he was able to see was only fluffy white clouds and the clear blue sky with the endless horizon around him.

"I am sure. Even though it seems so far that we are searching the wrong place, my power tells me it will be here.", said Eliana with a nod without stopping looking left and right.

Zane seeing this sighed, knowing that if Eliana said it will be here then it will definitely be here.

"Let me try something then.", said Zane and after he stopped he closed his eyes.

Instantly as he did that, on his ears, small earnings appeared, with small crystal-like diamonds on their ends.

They looked quite beautiful, even though they were on a man. They gave Zane a kind of charm that was hard to describe but it was not an unpleasant one.

When Eliana saw this she stopped moving and looked at the earring on Zane.

"God rank Soul Creature. Hard to believe he finally decides to use it.", said Mistress of Fortune quietly, knowing what Zane's past was with Soul Creatures.

She could clearly remember that since the moment Zane fought against Kuragari, he stopped using his Soul Creatures.

The reason however was unknown. It could be said that he stopped using them because they were useless to him or didn't give him the help he wanted.

So seeing Zane using one of his long-seen Soul Creature, she smiled and waited for him to open his eyes.

Time ticked by in silence, and after an unknown amount of time, suddenly Zane's ears flinched slightly, making his eyes shot wide open instantly.

"There. I detected something from that direction.", said Zane and pointed toward his left.

"Let's go.", nodded Eliana and without hesitation, the two burst toward the direction which seemed to be toward the east.

Flying for almost an hour at their full speed, suddenly Zane's eyes widened, and like thunder, he appeared behind Eliana and grabbed her by her hand.

*BAM!*

The sudden act of Zane made Eliana a bit startled and looked at him with a frown.

"Why did you do that?"

However, instead of answering Zane waved his hand and shot three knives before him.

*Swish!*

*Crack!*

Eliana watched the knives in the air, but a second later her expression widened with shock.

Instantly as the knives flew for a few meters, the air trembled and like blades cut the weapons up into several pieces in an instant.

"How were you able to detect that?", asked Eliana as she squinted her eyes, but was still unable to detect anything.

"I was lucky too. If it weren't for the sun shining in that point making me see the slight air trembling there, I wouldn't have been able to notice too."

Glancing at the air that went invisible and undetectable once again after cutting the knives up, Eliana frowned and looked around.

"It seems we found what we are looking for, but where is the Temple? I can't see any."

"If I am right.", started to say Zane as he looked around too, "The Temple is inside a barrier that we are unable to see. We need to find the entrance and only then will we able to find the Temple."

Listening to this, Eliana sighed and said, "That is easier to say than do. How should we find the entrance if we are unable to see the wind blades?"

Zane knew that Eliana had a point so without hesitation his body changed.

Behind his back, several colorful orbs started to float, while around his body, a half-transparent serpentine started to appear slowly.

After his skin formed small and thin scales and his eyes formed a vertical slit too, Zane looked at the point where the wind blades were.

"Then we just need to attack the area to find out where are the wind blades, no?"

And instantly as he said that, after above his palms several black ball-like objects formed he waved his hands.

*Swish!*

*BAM!*

Immediately after he sent the ball-like objects out, the moment they got cut up into pieces, several huge explosions occurred, filling the air with black, ash-like clouds.
