Journey Of A Legend

Chapter 66: The Alchemist Sisters

The moment when Cloud's staff hit the ground, the two girls started to run toward Greg and Emma.

Watching as they were running at them like that, Greg readied himself, but suddenly, when they were close enough, the girl in the black clothing took out a whip from behind her back and lashed at him.

Greg seeing this instantly jumped to the side, however to his surprise, the whip still continued to follow him, just like a tracking missle.

"An annoying trick that's for sure!", thought Greg and continued to jump here and there, dodging the girl's every attack one by one.

However, as he was dodging away from the attacks, he realized that the other twin wholly ignored him and just continued to run toward Emma.

Seeing this, Greg was a bit surprised but still knew that it was his fault.

"I forgot the most important thing in a fight. Always annihilate the healer first no matter what. How could I forgot a simple thing like that?", thought Greg and wanted to go help Emma, but just as he stepped forward a whiplash made him stop.

Looking at where the attack came from, he saw as the girl looked at him with a mocking smile, while waving her whip here and there.

"Where do you think you are going huh? I'm still here, no?", asked the girl with that mocking smile of her and lashed at Greg again. 

Greg dodged the attack and was about to use his speed boost ability when suddenly his eyes got round.

The moment he turned his gaze toward Emma, he saw that she was floating above the ground with a pair of beautiful crimson red bird wings made out of not feather, but pure fire behind her back, while a red halo appeared slowly above her head. She looked like a fire angel, making the sight both beautiful and a bit terrifying.

The girl who was running at Emma, seeing this raised her hand and shot a white mist at her from her palm. The platform below the mist has frozen in seconds, making a lot of people surprised by the fact that a cute little girl like her could be this powerful and scary.

Emma saw this sight and flapped her wings, making the mist to vaporized in an instant.

Seeing this, Greg sighed in relief and thought, "It seems she doesn't need my help yet, so let's get back t-."

However, the moment he wanted to turn back his focus to his opponent, suddenly a black flash appeared in his vision, making him dodge to the side without any hesitation.

*Crack*

The moment the whip hit the ground, a huge crack formed where he stood a second ago, showing just how tremendously powerful the whip's lash was.

"Where do you think you are looking at huh?", asked the girl with a bit of an angry expression as she looked at Greg.

"Why is she so pissed? Did I do something wrong?", thought Greg confusedly, but the next second he needed to jump to the side because another attack came at him.

On the spectator seat the girl looked quite bored and asked the guy next to her, "Didn't you say I should wait and watch? This is boring and look at him, he can't even fight back."

The guy next to the girl just smiled and said calmly, "You are wrong. It's not about that he can't, but instead he doesn't want to fight back."

"Huh? What do you mean he doesn't want to fight back? Don't make me laugh.", said the girl as she looked at the guy with a sneer.

The guy hearing this didn't answer but just continued to smile as nothing happened. Seeing this, the girl pouted and looked at the fight below.

As she watched as Greg was dodging attacks after attacks, she started to look quite confused and thought, "This isn't right. He really doesn't try to fight back. But why?"

As Greg dodged to the side he looked a bit troubled and thought, "What should I do? Both of my opponents are girls. I shouldn't just go and hit her in the face, should I? But if I don't, it will be quite hard to just knock her unconscious. Ahhh! What a pain in the**!"

If the girl or Joe would have heard this, they both would have strangled him to death. What the hell? Are you thinking about not hitting a girl in a fight? Are you f***ing insane?

However, Greg couldn't do anything about this. This was the way he felt. If it would have been a guy, he wouldn't hesitate to punch him in the face or if he was in a life or death situation, but in a tournament, he couldn't. He was always looking for a way to beat his opponents in the fastest way.

"What's the matter? Too scared to fight back? Haha! How cute!"

*Crack*

Greg dodged another powerful lash, which left a deep scratch mark on the surface of the stage.

Looking at Emma, he saw as she was getting more and more pushed back by the girl's strange mist, so Greg decided and used Alice's speed boost without further hesitation.

"!!"

The girl, who was fighting with Greg a moment ago, got by surprise and saw as Greg suddenly appeared behind her sister, ready to hit her neck with his palm.

"SIS!"

Hearing the familiar voice, the girl looked behind and was shocked to see a palm coming at him with insane speed.

The girl on the spectator seat seeing what Greg wanted to do and sneered.

"He has a death wish for sure."

And just after she said that suddenly the girl's body before Greg turned snow white and with an explosion, the insane amount of mist exploded onto Greg's body.

*BOOOM*

In an instant, Greg's body started to freeze at a rapid pace, making his body look more and more like an ice sculpture. 

On the estrade, the skinny guy looked at the happenings below and said with a mocking smile, "See? He isn't good at all. He is just a cocky little brat, who thinks he can beat anyone with his physical strength. How stupid!"

The Saint on the side just smiled after hearing this, but the woman shook her head and said, "Didn't you remember what Cloud said to us? His Guardian can use six elements and if I'm right he will use..."

Just as the woman could finish her sentence, Greg's body started to shine with a bit of crimson light, while the ice on his body started to melt with a visible speed.

The twins and the girl on the spectator seat looked at this sight with disbelief. 

"He is a fire user? Then why does he fight only with his physical power? This is illogical!", said the girl with a bit of a shocked expression, but the guy next to her just smiled.

Seeing as things weren't going as planned, the girl with the whip raised her hand and said, "Sis, get away from there!"

Hearing this, the girl with the twin tails jumped back and looked at her sister with a calm expression.

In her hands, slowly green smoke started to form and with each second it grew in size.

"Let's give him a bit of a surprise.", said the girl and like a professional baseballer, she threw the fist-sized green smoke ball toward Greg.

Seeing this Emma wanted to do something, but she was too far away to do anything, so she could only watch from the distance.

The green smoke ball was flying toward Greg with insane speed and the moment it touched his body...

*KA-BOOOOM*

An insanely huge explosion occurred, making the stage and shield around tremble crazily. Huge dust-storm filled the full interior of the shield, making the spectators around look at this sight with shocked expressions.

The girl next to the guy after seeing this leaned back into his chair and said, "I told you. He had a death wish and what happened was only because of his ignorance."

As always, the guy next to her just smiled, but this time he slowly opened his mouth.

"Are you sure?"

"What do you mean, if I'm sure? Can't you see that... Huh?"

Just as the girl wanted to finish her sentence and prove that she was right, suddenly the whole platform started to shake crazily.

*TREMBLE!!*

As she looked at this with a confused look, the dust started to dissipate slowly revealing what was happening inside and the moment she saw it, her eyes widened in surprise.

On the platform, Greg was standing still, while the twin's body was laying on the ground next to his feet unconsciously.

"Round 2, Winner: Duo 9!"

Hearing the announcement, the girl was utterly shocked and didn't know what to say.

"B-but how?"

As she was thinking about what could have happened, Greg's body got teleported away by the silver light, leaving the girl with answers.

***

Back in the street, Emma and Greg appeared out of nowhere.

When the light disappeared and the Qualified word appeared on his card, Greg looked at his body and smiled.

"It seems I finally leveled up into the fourth level. Nice!"
