Journey Of A Legend - Chapter 193
Sarah and Sandra led the three up to a viewing area, which was surrounded by several hundred extra small Sky Crystals.
While Jay examined the crystals with great detail which were around them, suddenly Sandra next to him started to talk calmly.
“You don’t need to worry, you won’t get injured. Even if those two go completely out, these crystals will move on their own accord and take any of their attacks, protecting you and this place from any dire danger.”
The moment Emma and Mila heard Sandra’s bold statement they looked at each other and a small while later that started to chuckle.
Protecting him? Protecting Jay from danger? Was that some kind of joke? The one who will really need protection if the time will come would be bit Jay, but Sandra.
However, it was no surprise Sandra said what she did. Because Jay was always disguising his presence, making anyone believe that he was a weakling, Sandra’s thinking was somewhat apprehensible.
Sandra seeing their reaction looked confused, but before she could have asked what was so funny, suddenly a powerful presence broke out from the battlefield.
The moment Mila saw that 3 different dragons with a half-transparent body started to appear behind Juan, she frowned and asked, “What are those?”
“It’s not those, but instead it.”, said suddenly Sarah from the side and started to explain.
“As you may know, Juan’s first Soul Stone lets him obtain a tremendous amount of strength from an Ancient Dragon. However, when he broke through the Creator rank and reached the Calamity rank, his Ancient Dragon split into three parts.”
“Split into three parts?”, asked Mila with confusion, not knowing what that statement should really mean.
“Yes, into three parts.”, said Sarah with a nod and continued, “The moment that happened, his Guardian turned out to be called as Karyl, the Ancient Dragon Of Kokoro.”
“Karyl, Ancient Dragon Of Kokoro? The legendary Dragon King from ancient times which held unshakable will, spirit, and body? That Karyl?”, asked Emma from the side with surprise.
Sarah saw that Emma was well informed nodded and said, “Well, Juan asserts it’s not exactly what the legends said, but its traits are very similar to that of the stories. Mountain strong body, imperturbable will, and raging spirit. He can use each of those powers, but only separately.”
When Jay, Emma, and Mila heard this they looked incredibly shocked. Especially Mila and Emma were stunned. They clearly knew just how terrific Juan’s power was back in the tournament, so now that it turned out that his Guardian was Karyl, they couldn’t fathom at all just how powerful he could truly become.
When Sandra saw their expression she started to grin widely and said, “Now that you know just how strong Juan truly is, there is no way in hell that weak friend of yours will be ab-.”
*BAM!*
However before Sandra could have completed her sentence, suddenly another powerful presence broke out from the side.
“?”
Glancing at Joe who was covered with a thunder robe and had an Ascension Ring, the twins looked shocked and couldn’t believe to their eyes.
They could clearly remember that several months ago on the tournament, Joe was still on the Soul Collector rank, but now for some reason, he was on the Ascender rank.
Under a few months to be able to break through several ranks and reach the Ascender rank, it was the very first time they saw something like this.
Mila on the side glanced at Sandra with a wide grin and said calmly, “That ‘weak’ friend of ours is about to beat your friend’s ass up real bad.”
Sandra’s and Sarah’s expression after hearing this stiffened, but because they saw that in presence alone Joe was a whole rank above of Juan, they couldn’t say a word, but watch the fight in silence and hope for the best outcome for them.
While the five looked at the battlefield with great anticipation, Juan looked at Joe with interest and said, “It seems you didn’t waste your time. Perfect.”
After he said this he lowered his crossed arms and said calmly, “Then let’s see what your spirit can truly bear.”
Instantly as he said this, the black scaled dragon behind his back moved and under a single second, it melted into Juan’s body.
*BAM!*
Instantly as this happened, a pair of ash black horns broke free out from Juan’s forehead, while his right eye turned completely black. It looked like his eye was a bottomless abyss that was able to pierce right into anyone’s soul with a single glance.
Joe looking at Juan’s right eye felt like his body was tossed into a huge ocean which was in the middle of a neverending storm.
The feeling alone was so suffocating that Joe felt he wasn’t against a human, but instead against a savage beast and could die in any given moment he was not careful enough.
“Come!”, said Juan with an unshakable posture and choking presence, waiting for Joe to attack him.
Joe hearing this exhaled the air from his lungs, making his body to calm down. When his whole being eased, he grabbed the hilt of his sword and said calmly, “I will end this fight with a single attack!”
*BAM!*
After he said this, Joe’s figure vanished from sight, and with a huge eruption like thunder appearing from the clouds, he appeared on Juan’s right side.
“Fast!”, said Sandra and Sarah with shock, but before they could have said anything more, Joe swung his jade sword toward Juan’s neck with an even greater speed.
*Swish!*
With a speed that was extremely hard to follow, Joe’s sword reached Juan, but the moment it should have pierced his neck, a shocking scene happened.
The moment the sword was about to hit pierce into him, Juan calmly turned his abyss-like eye at Joe.
Instantly as this happened, Joe felt as something inside him trembled, causing him to miss Juan’s neck only by a hair’s margin.
“What happened?”, asked Mila with a confused expression, not understanding why did Joe miss his target from that close.
Sandra on the side smiled and said, “Legends said, Karyl was famous about intimidating and shaking his opponent’s spirit with his Rage Eye. Whoever who had a weaker spirit than him and looked straight into his right eye would be rendered immobile. Even one of our top experts got beaten relatively easily by that power of his, so Juan will win for sure.”
When Jay heard this he smiled slightly and said, “If it’s just about spirit, then it seems Joe will be perfectly fine.”
Sarah and Sandra hearing what Jay said looked confused, but instead of asking a question, they glanced toward Joe. However, the moment they did, their eyes widened with surprise.
On the stage, even though Joe’s movement looked a bit ragged, he was still moving around Juan with a crazy speed with the desire to wound him.
But, unfortunately, every time he attempted an attack, he would always miss his target, because his body would subconsciously move away from Juan, no matter how hard he tried to control his body.
Sandra seeing this calmed down instantly and said calmly to Jay, “I was wrong. Joe is truly powerful, but still, he will be unable to wound Juan. His spirit is still weaker than Juan’s.”
Jay hearing this didn’t answer, but simply started to smile and continued to watch the ongoing fight below him in silence.
*Swish!*
*Swish!*
One swing with his jade sword after another, Joe tried to wound Juan, but every time he got looked at with that abyss-like eye, his very soul would start to tremble, making him to miss his target each time.
After missing another hit, Joe sighed calmly and said, “If I can’t injure him because of my body, then I need to became so fast that my body will not have the time to react at all.”
As he said this, Joe’s grip tightened around the sword’s hilt, while the robe around his body started to shrink and move around his arm, forming a dense layer around his hand and the sword’s hilt immediately.
As this happened, Joe closed his eyes and after making his body relax, he said to Juan calmly, “Get ready.”
“Com-.”
*BOOM!*
*BOOM!*
*Crack!*
*Crack!*
Before Juan could have finished his word, suddenly his whole body vanished from the spot, while several Sky Crystals on the side turned to dust because of the lightning that broke out from his body before he disappeared.
Juan feeling that something was not right widened his eyes with surprise, but before he could have done anything, suddenly a jade white blade appeared before his eyes.
“F*c-!”
*BAM!*
*KA-BOOM!*
*CRACK!*
The instant Joe’s sword hit Juan, a huge shock wave appeared, creating a huge crater below their feet, while 95% of the Sky Crystal’s inside the building turned into nothing more but dust under a single second.
Joe who was standing on the stage with the sword in hand opened his eyes slowly, but when he did, his expression froze up instantly.
It was because, before him, his sword was chopped deeply into Juan’s shoulder, but strangely, no blood was coming out from the wound.
While examining the strange sight, suddenly Juan moved before him and grabbed the Jade Sword’s edge.
“It was quite a dangerous move.”, said Juan with terrifying calmness, but a second later he started to grin crazily and continued, “But I liked it!”
*BOOM!*
