章節 50: A Scary Opponent

'Limiter Unlocked'

In an instant, as the two words sounded in his head, Greg felt like that every part and every cell in his body exploded with some kind of power, making him feel invincible.

Looked at the fist, which was inches away from his face, made him now not terrified, but calm instead.

Just as Kragnas's punch was ready to smash his face, suddenly Greg jumped to the side by using Alice's wind ability.

*BOOOM!*

Less than a second later, a huge crater appeared, where he was standing a second ago, however, this didn't surprise him at all. His opponent was a monster, to begin with.

Feeling that he didn't hit anything, Kragnas looked visibly confused and looked right.

"He dodged that attack? Did I see things right? But how?", asked Skull with a dumbfounded expression.

Kyle looked at Greg's figure and wanted to figure out what just happened, but a second later his eyes looked really strange.

"He didn't rank up, but somehow it feels like he did. What in the world is happening?"

Greg looked down onto his body but didn't see any changes, except the insanely huge amount of power in his body, which was like a volcano, ready to erupt in any second.

"Amazing!"

"Amazing indeed."

Hearing a girl's voice, Greg flinched a bit and looked around, but he didn't see anyone around him.

He saw only Kragnas's ice-cold glare, which pierced right through his body. If his eyes could kill, Kragnas would have cut him up into thousands of pieces right now.

"Did I imagine things?", thought Greg, but a second later, the same girlish voice sounded in his ear.

"No, you are not. I'm real, but you can't see me, because I'm inside your head. Well, also because you are too weak to see me."

Just as Greg wanted to ask something, Kragnas stood up and looked at him with his creepy smile.

"Brat, you are really interesting. Now I'm really fired up!"

*KA-BOOOOM!*

With a huge explosion, the floor below Kragnas feet exploded, while his body appeared before Greg.

Watching as a huge leg kicked toward him, Greg used Alice's wind element to boost his speed and dodged to the side again.

*BOOOM!*

However just like before, because of the insane power, a huge shockwave broke out, turning the wooden floor before Kragnas into nothing but dust. Luckily he dodged to the side because if not, his body would be blown away by the terrifying shockwave.

Seeing as he missed his target again, Kragnas smiled and turned around to continue his chase, but just as he did that a huge thunderbolt appeared before him, while Ben's fist behind his neck.

"Get away from me!!!"

*BOOOOM!*

With an inhuman turn with his body, with one foot remaining on the ground, he kicked away the thunderbolt with his shockwave, while hitting Ben's body away with tremendous power.

*BAM!*

Ben's figure flew away like a cannonball, hitting one of the giant soldiers' legs in the distance.

"Blargh!"

Falling to the ground, Ben coughed up a good amount of blood, while the giant above him, raised his leg ready to step on him.

Kyle, Skull, Rose, and Joe watched this with terrified expressions. They wanted to help him, but the distance between the two was just too big.

Greg watched this happening and wanted to do something, but suddenly Kragnas ugly smiling face appeared inches away from his.

"Where are you looking at brat?"

"F*ck!"

Again he couldn't do anything else but dodge to the side while looking at Ben, who was ready to step on like an insect.

"Why don't you use my power, if you want to help him this much?"

Hearing this, Greg looked confused, because he didn't know what the voice meant under her power.

"Ah... Should I just demonstrate it to you?"

In an instant as the voice said that, the shadow below Greg got bigger and a second later he disappeared into it.

As Kragnas looked around to see where Greg just escape, suddenly he heard one of his giants scream from the side.

After looking where the sound came from, Kragnas's eyes widened in surprise and shock.

In the far distance, where Ben's body was about to step on, Greg was standing next to him, while the giant's feet above him, started to melt slowly because of some kind of black smoke.

"H-How? Huh?"

However, if this wasn't enough surprise for him, Greg disappeared into the shadow again with Ben and appeared next to Kyle and the others.

Kyle and the other four looked at Greg with a flabbergasted expression, but before they could ask anything, Greg looked up at the throne and said, "The core. It's there."

Kyle heard this and looked at the throne, where Greg looked at and saw a red orb floating a few inches above it.

"Let's get it.", said Kyle and without any hesitation, he started to run toward the core with Rose, Ben, and Skull behind him.

Watching as those kids were ignoring him, made Kragnas incredibly angry.

"You insolent brats! Me, one of the mighty general, who is under the Gian-"

"We don't care about it."

*KA-BOOOOM!*

With a powerful punch, Greg appeared next to Kragnas and hit him in the face, making Kragnas fly away in an instant.

Joe on the side pointed at the still flying man and fired a thunderbolt at him, making Kragnas's body to swim in lightning.

Rose and Ben were watching this happening as they ran up on the stairs toward the orb with shocked expressions.

"Are they really just third rank fighters? They are monsters!"

"Don't worry about them and let's hurry. We need to get that core no matter what!", said Kyle as he speeded up his pace.

Unfortunately, after his sword got broken and Ben got injured, the only ones who could fight somewhat with that monster were Greg and Joe, so what they needed to do is get the zone's core as fast as possible.

Skull couldn't help, because his powers were only effective against creatures with one element, but because that man didn't show any sign of elemental powers, he was powerless.

After hitting Kragnas in the face, Greg was somewhat shocked by his power.

"Amazed yes? This is one of the advantages after obtaining the approval of a Pure Soul."

Hearing the girlish voice in his head, Greg wanted to ask a question, but couldn't, because Kragnas stood up and looked at him and Joe's direction with a dead-serious expression.

"Now you have done it!"

Joe felt an immense threat coming toward him, while Greg's Silver Wolf's sixth sense ability activated on its own, making his whole body tremble significantly.

Knowing that it was time to run, Greg and Joe started to turn around, but it was too late to do so.

The air around Kragnas body started to twist and vibrate, while his eyes and body changed colors.

In an instant, the muscular body changed into flowing lava, releasing an immense amount of heat toward his proximity. Even the floor below the man started to melt while the wood around him got on fire.

Greg looked at this scene with a calm expression, but on the inside, he was a bit terrified.

"He is a monster.", thought Greg as he started to think for solutions.

"Monster? I think he is just a mere clown. Use my ice abilities and see what will happen. But be prepared for a strong backlash."

Hearing the voice, Greg wanted to say something, but yet again he couldn't because Kragnas started to walk toward them slowly, while everything around him melted or caught on fire.

"Well, it's not the time to ask.", said Greg seriously.

Putting his palm onto the hot ground, he clenched his teeth, while bearing the burning pain and used Alice's ice element.

In an instant thick ice spread all around the ground, turning everything in the proximity into jade-like ice. Even a giant which was standing the closest to Greg started to turn into an ice sculpture in seconds, showing just how terrifying was Greg's ability.

Joe saw as the ice came toward his direction, so he instantly jumped up into the air, and stood atop a black cloud, while watching the happenings below him with widened eyes.

Kragnas saw this happening and made the fire on his body burn even more, however, somehow the ice didn't melt away.

"Ridiculous!", shouted Kragnas and punched at the approaching ice with his burning fist.

*BOOOOOM!*

With a huge explosion, the area around Kragnas melted away in an instant, however, the ice likewise approached him without slowing down and in the end, it touched his feet and started to spread up on his lava body.

Until all these things happened, Kyle and the others ran up on the stairs. They didn't have time to spectate what was happening behind them, instead, they concentrate to get that core.

As they were a few meters away from the core a giant with an icy body, appeared next to them and raised its gigantic arm, ready to smash them into pulp.

"Skull!"

As Kyle shouted, he jumped toward the core, while Skull draws a few things into his book.

In an instant, the giant's icy body started to crack and turn its colossal body into ice powder.

While this happened Kyle finally touched the core and in an instant, everything started to change back to reality.

Kragnas was shouting toward the sky madly, while the fire on his body danced crazily. However, this didn't stop the ice to spread on his body, no matter what.

As he saw that the scenery around him started to change he stopped shouting and looked at Greg.

"Brat, listen carefully. Maybe you won this time, but don't think even for a second that we are finished like this. When the time comes, humans will taste what real despair is, and as for you..."

As he said that, the ice has already spread to his neck, and less than a second later his whole body froze in place. However, that creepy smile was still on Kragnas face, making Greg to feel that what he just said had a really deep meaning...
