Journey Of A Legend

Chapter 202: Five Seconds

*KA-BOOM!*

With an explosion that made the ground below Juan's feet to form a huge crater, Greg's leg slammed into Juan's waist.

"!"

The moment Juan felt the strength behind the impact, his eyes widened. The power behind Greg's kick was so strong that even after using Karyl's body, Juan had no choice but to step back a meter or he would have fallen over, resulting in him losing.

However, even like this, Juan knew that the scariest thing wasn't Greg's powerful kick, but the golden flame vortexes that were swirling around his feet like some wild blaze tornado.

When those flames got into contact with his scales, like ice cream under the hot summer sky, it started to melt with a frighteningly visible speed.

"Interesting!", said Juan with a wide grin, but even like this, he didn't do anything but simply let the flames to engulf his waist and slowly melt his scales away.

However, Greg still had 4 seconds left and knowing that if he couldn't make Juan to fall to the ground he would end up losing.

As a result, he pulled his leg back, and like a fairy in a storm, with a fast and swift move, his figure appeared on the other side of Juan.

*BOOM!*

This time however Greg didn't kick Juan's waist, but merely smashed his fist against the side of his shoulder, making his scales to start to melt away instantly, while creating small cracks on the scales all over his arm.

When Juan saw this happening, this time his expression turned to shock too, not believing that Greg truly had such strength even though he was not in the body system.

But it was only natural though. Greg was already in the Soul Grade, which made his physical strength to reach a point where he could even rival others who were already in the God rank. And with his current ability to control 2 elements at the same time for a limited time, made his strength even terrifying, to the point where Juan's defense was rendered useless.

However, even like this, it was still hard to make Juan's body to fall. Maybe he was able to attack through his scales and defense, but his balance and posture were absolute. It was like he was an unshakable and unmovable mountain, impossible to destroy.

"Still have 3 seconds left!", thought Greg calmly, and just like before he moved, but this time he appeared behind Juan.

*BAM!*

With a strong strike, Greg's other fist hit Juan in the back, making his back to get on fire, but except for that and the sight of his scales slowly melting, nothing happened.

"2 seconds!", thought Greg and appeared above in the sky, and with a fast and powerful spin, he kicked Juan's shoulder from above.

*BOOM!*

However, except for the same sight as before which was the ground turning into debris, Greg was not able to make Juan to move. Not even the slightest.

Also, what made Greg shocked even more than the places where he hit and kicked Juan, the golden flames started to get sucked into Juan's skin, while the melted scales started to heal at a crazily visible speed.

"Even after all that he is able to still stay still? Just how powerful is his defense?", thought Greg with surprise, but he didn't really have time to think, because he only had one second left.

"Then let's try that.", thought Greg and with a calm expression, he appeared before Juan.

While this happened Sandra in the distance frowned deeply and asked, "What is he even trying to do? It's still a shock to see him wound Juan while he uses Karyl's body, be still, he won't be able to make him to move."

Even Sarah, Joe, and the others looked at Greg with confusion, not understanding what he was trying. It was already confusing for them to see Greg use two elements at the same time, so this made their confusion even deeper.

Also, 5 seconds to make Juan move was simply impossible and the twins knew this the best. Because Juan's body was covered with Karyl's scales, he not only could use them for both defense and combat but to make his posture as stable as Mount Tai.

If he wanted, he could use the scales as sharp weapons, but if he wanted to he could easily use them as an iron suit, which was almost impossible to penetrate, while making his body as heavy as a mountain.

Simple kicks and fist bumps will be extremely useless here to make Juan budge even a single inch. And because of knowing about this, the moment Greg moved, the twin's eyes widened with utter shock.

Instead of a kick or a powerful slam, what Greg did was to gently place his palm on Juan's chest, while exhaling air gently from his mouth.

"D-Did he give up?", asked Sandra with confusion, not understanding why didn't Greg hit Juan with more strength.

Even Juan looked at Greg with a frown, however, the following moment as he wanted to say he won, suddenly a shocking sight happened, making him to raise his guard instantly.

The flame vortexes around Greg's body started to move and starting from his feet, each small fire vortexes moved upward and with a speed that was insanely fast, appeared around his palm.

When all blazing vortexes finally swirled around his palm, creating a scary sight, making anyone to believe they will burn away alive, suddenly Greg smiled gently and said quietly, "I won."

*BAM!!*

Instantly as he said that the golden swirling flames moved and one after another like bullets got fired at Juan's chest one by one.

*BOOM!!*

*BAM!*

*BOOM!*

One golden swirling flame after another got fired at Juan's chest at a rapid-fire rate, making Juan to clench his teeth together instantly because of the impacts.

If it would have been just simple air vortexes that got fired at him, Juan would have simply laughed and stood calmly where he was, but because it was not the case he couldn't.

Not only were Greg's vortexes extremely fast, blasting a dozen of them at his chest at the same time like a machine gun, but they had extreme strength too, because of the golden flames around them. 

Each impact was like a detonated bomb on his chest, but with the only difference that this time hundreds of them exploded on him at the same time.

Under a single second, more than hundreds of blazing maelstrom exploded on him, melting the scales on his chest not only away, but making his skin and does below it to get wounded instantly.

Juan used everything he had to resist against Greg's crazy attack, but he was still human, and as a result, his body gave in, making him to fly away like a bullet into the distance.

*BAM*

With a powerful slam and fall, Juan's body exploded into the ground almost a hundred meters away, making the twins, Joe, and the others to look at this scene with utter speechlessness and shock.

"Bleargh!"

Juan in the distance tried to struggle upon his feet, but the moment he sat up, he vomited up a huge amount of blood instantly.

"Cough... Cough..."

Breathing heavily while coughing blood up, Juan looked at the wound on his chest and looked shocked.

Not only did his scales melt away, but even his skin and flesh had been scorched heavily, making Juan to turn dumbfounded instantly.

"Cough... To think he was able to wound me... Cough...", said Juan among two coughs and raised his head, only to see Greg offering him a bottle full of strange-looking liquid.

Seeing Juan's confusion Greg smiled slightly and said, "Drink it. Your wound will heal in no time."

Hearing this Juan nodded and without asking a single question he took away the potion from Greg and started to drink it.

However, the moment the first amount flowed down his throat, Juan's eyes widened with surprise. Yet even like that he drank all of it and only started to talk when he drank everything from the bottle.

*Gulp!*

Lowering his hand which held the bottle, Juan looked at the wound on his chest, and seeing it was healing instantly he looked surprised.

"What? It's higher quality than our family's?", mumbled Juan with confusion, and after examining the bottle he looked up at Greg.

"Where did you buy this? This is definitely a High-quality Healing Potion, so it should have been extremely hard to obtain."

When Greg heard the question smiled and took out another potion, very similar to the one from before.

"I did it, but this is not high in quality at all. It is only a Beginner Potion that I have made back in the Forbidden Lands."

"Only?! What do you mean 'only'? This potion is almost on par with our strongest healing potion. And wait... You said it was made by you? How?"

Hearing the question Greg grinned slightly and while scratching the back of his head, he said, "One of my friends taught me to make one. He is kinda a professional creating different kinds of unique potions."
