Journey Of A Legend

Chapter 241: The Reason

The moment Greg and Joe saw the devil on the ground, their whole being froze up instantly.

Ozron was the one who attacked them during the Tournament in Mythbreak, while almost succeeding in killing Greg.

If it weren't for Russ's and Wayne's help and their personally built Passage to the Unknown, he didn't know what would have happened with him.

Also, as Greg noticed, since the last time he saw him, it seems he became several times stronger too. His whole presence leaked out dread and suffering, while it was quite obvious he was way above the God rank.

"?"

As Greg looked at the creature, suddenly he noticed that except for his head, Ozron's body was completely petrified, while around his chest part, space was gently vibrating from time to time.

Seeing that the two looked confused, Russ glanced at the devil and started to speak.

"We found out that the gate was perfectly fine and the problem was in its interior. We don't really know how, but he was able to escape the space inside the Passage of the Unknown. And what is more, he succeeded with completing his Evolution."

"Keke."

Wayne looking at the chuckling devil just simply shook his head and said, "Well, but he was still unable to beat or kill us, so we were able to capture him."

"Why didn't you kill him simply? Isn't he way too dangerous to let him alive?", asked Joe from the side with a slightly raised eyebrow.

"He is.", answered Russ with a nod.

"Then why?"

However, instead of answering instantly, Russ pointed at Ozron and explained, "We didn't kill him because he knows things that could become quite useful."

As he said this, Ozron chuckled again and nodded.

"Yes indeed. I know a lot of things that you primitive humans can't even think about."

"For example?", asked Joe curiously.

Looking up at Joe who was calmly looking back at the devil, Ozron started to smile wickedly and answered word by word.

"That. Is. A. Secret."

*BAM!*

However, just as he said that suddenly a leg appeared above him and kicked his face powerfully, making Ozron's face to explode into the ground below.

"!"

Seeing that the one who attacked was Greg, the three around him looked stupified.

"Wha-, why?", asked Russ with a perplexed look as he watched Greg's standing figure before Ozron's laying body on the ground.

However, Greg didn't answer and gently smiled at Ozron and asked, "So can you tell me why you 'Higher Beings' try to attack us, humans?"

"!?"

When Russ and Wayne heard this they looked surprised. They tried to get the answer from Ozron too and even used violence to make him speak, but nothing worked.

Ozron kept his mouth tightly shut, no matter what happened.

While the two looked stunned by Greg's sudden act until then Ozron who was just kicked sat up slowly and spit to the side.

Seeing as small teeth flew out from his mouth right into the ground on the side, Russ's and Wayne's shock deepened a level deeper.

They could clearly remember that no matter how hard they tried to injure Ozron, they were not able to. His body was simply way too tough that they failed miserably.

Yet, right now, only with a simple kick, Greg was able to make Ozron to spit out one of his teeth to the ground. It was scary!

"Just how strong did he become?" Someone on the Ascender rank to have such physical strength, it is impossible! He doesn't even have body-related Guardian, so how?"

But it was not a surprise at all or at least not for Greg. Since the moment he unlocked the so-called Limiter inside his body and started his unique cultivation path, his physical strength grew alongside his Guardian's power.

Every time he breaks through a Grade or fought against someone way stronger than him, his physical strength would follow suit too and become stronger too.

Right at the moment, he was able to fight anyone above him in ranks just with his physical power alone. As for killing them, it was another question.

Naturally, making Ozron to spit his teeth out was a surprise for him too, but it was not like Ozron was someone in the body system. He was specialized in magic, so it was obvious his body would be so weak.

As for why couldn't Russ and Wayne injure him then? Well, because they were weaker in physical strength from Greg, which was quite obvious.

While Greg was chillingly looking at Ozron, the devil smiled again, but this time with anger, and glanced at Greg.

"Do you really think I will tell-."

*BOOM!*

Not waiting for Ozron to finish his sentence, Greg punched his face once again, making Ozron spit out other teeth to the ground.

"!"

While the three around Greg looked at this sight in silence, Greg grabbed Ozron by his neck and started to talk calmly.

"I don't care what you say. Even if I can't kill you I will beat you up into a pulp until you won't say it. If I was able to break teeth of you I am sure I can break your bones too. It's your choice."

Raising his fist to start punching Ozron, suddenly the devil smiled and looked at Greg's hand on his neck and started smile slyly.

"Well, you shouldn't have touched my body, because now you will die!"

"!"

*BAM!*

Instantly as those words sounded, abyss black flames broke out from the devil's skin, and like snakes sliding out of death's trap door, they started to engulf Greg's hand.

Russ and Wayne seeing this looked surprised and wanted to do something, but before they could have had the chance, Greg moved.

Like thunder breaking free from the chaotic storm, Greg's hand flashed and hit Ozron's face powerfully, making his face to be buried deep inside the ground.

*BOOM!*

"How are you able to move?", asked Ozron with a bleeding mouth, as he looked at Greg's uncaring expression, even though his flames were slowly going up on his arm.

However, Greg didn't answer him at all started his assault. 

*BAM!*

*BOOM!*

*BAM!*

Moving with a speed that looked quite blurry, Greg hit Ozron's head one punch after another, making his head to sink deeper and deeper into the ground.

Russ, Wayne, and Joe seeing this occurring before them looked surprised and didn't know how to react at all.

Watching as Greg mercilessly attacked a creature who was above in God's rank like that was quite shocking.

Even if the devil was restricted and trapped by Wayne's and Russ's combined power, making him unable to fight back, it was still a shocking sight.

*BAM!*

After unknown of how many punches later Greg stopped attacking and looked at Ozron before him.

Right now, Ozron's face was completely disfigured, while from almost every orifice on his head blood was oozing out slowly.

"..."

Looking at the sight before this in silence, the two experts and Joe didn't know how to react at all. This was simply way too dominant for them!

A guy only in the Ascender rank beat a creature above the God rank into a pulp! It was outrageous!

"Cough... Cough..."

Coughing up a huge amount of blood, Ozron wanted to sit up but was needed with another punch from Greg.

*BOOM!*

"So? Will you tell me the reason or should I beat you for a few more times?", asked Greg as calmly as ever.

Spitting out blood after blood, Ozron glanced up at Greg and after a small, while later he asked quietly, "What... do you want... to know?"

Smiling, Greg lowered his hand and said, "Everything. The reason why you want to fight us, the reason you tried to kill me, and things about your 'Higher Beings'."

Sighing while coughing blood up, Ozron nodded and said, "I will... So just let me go already."

Knowing that he made a deal, Greg let Ozron go and glanced at his arm which was engulfed with the abyss black flames of Ozron.

"Hmm... Interesting.", thought Greg as he felt the destructive and eternal power behind the flames with a bit of cursed ability mixed in them.

However, his interest only lasted for a bit and after waving his hand they vanished like it was just normal flames.

"..."

When Ozron, Russ, and Wayne saw this, they didn't know how to react. The way Greg just acted was absurd.

He just simply waved his arm and made those powerful flames to vanish like they were nothing. Those flames could kill anyone on the God rank and Greg just simply waved his hand! Ridiculous!

However what they didn't know that Greg was only able to wave the flames away, because he had now Shapeless's power.

By making his arm to melt away then reform a small while later, losing the surface they could burn up and destroy, the flames would naturally vanish.

It was nothing special of a trick at all.

After he did this, Greg looked at Ozron still on the ground and said calmly, "Now then, tell me everything."
