Journey Of A Legend - Chapter 200

When Greg heard what Cloud asked of him he looked confused and shook his head.

“Not at all. In the past few months, I have been in the Forbidden Lands without knowing a single thing about the outside world. If it weren’t for my friends and the fact that you came to find me to help, it is quite possible that I would have stayed there even until this point.”

The moment Cloud heard this he realized that Greg was right, so as an answer he nodded and said, “I see. Then it is understandable.”

“But what happened? Is it something very horrible?”, asked Greg with curiosity.

“Well, not really. I would rather say something unexpected.”, said Cloud and after staying silent for a while he continued, “About 3 months ago, for unknown reasons the Clanwing Family started a war against the Scepter Family.”

“!”

The instant Greg heard this, his eyes widened, and looked shocked, not believing the statement that Cloud said.

Even though Greg hated the Scepter Family because of William and the things he did to him back in the past, he knew clearly that they were still one of the 5 Great Families in the Federation.

Maybe they didn’t have so much manpower and strong experts, the Scepter Family was quite famous for its connections with the Soul Association and the other 4 Families. If they wanted, they could easily beat any other smaller families just by a single attack.

On the other hand, the Clanwing Family was medium-sized, but with a great number of experts and influence.

Probably not as great as the 5 Great Families, but they definitely had sound if they wanted. Especially now that they had a person who obtained a white Soul Stone with the power to control time.

But to think that the great Scepter Family would get attacked by no other than the Clanwing Family… It was truly unexpected.

“And who won? Or is their conflict still ongoing?”, asked Greg calmly.

If he would have to guess, he would say the Scepter Family just laughed at the Clanwing’s attempt and destroyed them with a single counter-attack, but to his surprise, he didn’t get this reply at all.

Instead, Cloud shook his head helplessly and said, “The first attack was a total defeat. The Scepter Family sustained a huge amount of casualties and losses.”

“!?”

Greg hearing this turned speechless instantly.

“The… The Scepter Family lost?”

“Yes.”, answered Eliana on the side and said, “When we heard the news we didn’t believe it too, but when we went to see it, it was true. The Scepter Family not only lost a few of his city’s but also lost a tremendous amount of resources and manpower. Because of this, they needed to get help from the Dia Family.”

When Greg heard this, he thought about Joe and the reason he came to find him and thought, “So the reason his father wanted my help should possibly be connected with this matter.”

Thinking about this Greg raised his head and asked, “And what about the Soul Association? Won’t they help in this matter?”

Zone next to Eliana crossed his arms before his chest and said, “The Soul Association doesn’t care about this matter.”

“Doesn’t care?”, asked Greg with confusion.

“Exactly. The Soul Association will only deal with the Clanwing Family if they try to destroy the current balance. Until it’s just this there is no problem at all. However, if they try to attack and beat the other Families too, they will definitely give sound to their voice.”

“I see.”, said Greg, slightly understanding what Zane meant under his statement.

To think about it simply, until the balance was not destroyed until no matter what happens, the Soul Association won’t bump its head in this matter.

Also, what has happened was not a calamity. It was only a battle where a smaller family attempted to rise and reach the title of the 5 Great Families.

And to everyone’s surprise, their endeavor ended up in success. Until they don’t try to attack the other families and take their resources and territories until then there was no problem at all.

In the past, it was quite normal that occasionally families tried to attack the 5 Great Families in the hope to become a Great Family themselves, but it was still unexpected because something like this happened about a few centuries ago.

“Interesting.”, said Greg quietly as he thought about that it shouldn’t have been a coincidence.

“It seems, because of those two, the Clanwing Family’s courage to try to do something like this has finally come.”

***

After several hours of flying, Greg and the three experts have finally arrived back at Mythbreak.

“Ah, finally!”, thought Greg with a satisfying smile, but before he could have done anything, Eliana’s voice sounded behind him.

“We will leave from here about 2 days from now on. I will come and find you when we go, until then you are free to do whatever you want.”

When Greg heard this he felt like he just heard a nanny, but still, he nodded and walked away.

“Let’s see… Where should have they gone until I was away.”, thought Greg as he ran on the street, looking for his friends.

However, he didn’t need to run for way too long, because only after a few minutes, he noticed Emma’s back on the side with the others next to her.

“Here you are.”, said Greg with a smile as he walked closer to them, but his expression turned surprised when he noticed three other people close to them.

When Emma and the others heard Greg’s voice from behind their back, they turned around and smiled.

“You came back faster than I have expected. How did it go?”, asked Joe.

Greg smiled slightly and said, “Well, it didn’t go as smoothly as I have thought, but it was a success.”

After he said this Greg glanced at Juan and the twins who were not far away from him and asked, “Nice to meet you again guys. It seems we meet yet again. What brought you here from the far north?”

When the twins heard what Greg said they looked a bit angry, but Juan didn’t. He stepped forward and with a strong grip, he shook Greg’s hand.

“We have been told to get a few materials which are only sold here in Mythbreak, so we came here. However, we didn’t expect that we will meet with you guys too. We have already met with the others yesterday. Where have you been? I wanted to fight with you too.”

When Greg heard the ‘too’ word, he became quite surprised and asked, “Too? Who did you fight against and why?”

Juan grinned widely hearing Greg’s question and pointed at Joe on the side while saying, “I have fought with him to see if I have become stronger, but unfortunately we have been stopped by my Master. As a result, we weren’t able to decide a winner, but I’m pretty sure I would have won.”

“I’m not so sure about that, but I like the confidence.”, said Joe from the side with a calm smile as he looked at Juan.

Greg hearing this scratched the back of his neck not quite understanding the situation right now.

After thinking for a while, Greg looked around and with a slight frown he looked at Emma and asked, “Where is Jay?”

“He said he had to do something, so he left. He also told us not to worry about him, he will find us as soon as he finished doing his business.”, answered Emma calmly.

Hearing this, Greg nodded and thought, “Well, it’s not like he could be defeated or killed by anyone, so I’m sure he will be fine.”

After he said that, he looked at Juan and asked with a smile, “Now that I think about that, do you want to spar with me? I want to try out something.”

When Juan heard this he grinned widely and said, “Naturally. If you wouldn’t have asked, I would have.”

However, after Juan said that his smile vanished, and said, “But unfortunately I don’t think it will be possible. My Master prohibited me to fight against anyone inside Mythbreak. He said if I go out of control I could easily cause a huge ruckus, which consequences, in the end, he needs to bear.”

“Than that is not a problem at all, instead that is the best. We will fight outside.”, said Greg, and without any hesitation, he activated his Final Flow.

Instantly, his shadow expanded, and just like in water, all of their body sunk and vanished.

A small while later, all seven of them appeared again, but this time they were standing in the middle of a green field, not far away from Mythbreak’s massive walls.

While the twins looked surprised by Greg’s power, Greg looked around and with a calm expression, he glanced at Juan.

“If it’s good for you, we will fight here. At least, outside here we don’t really need fear that we destroy something.”
