Journey Of A Legend - Chapter 209

The instant when Greg pushed the temple’s gate wide open, a surprising sight appeared before the group.

The interior was nothing like a temple should have. The right inscription about it would be that it was a massively huge library.

Everywhere they looked, they could see a thousand… No, millions of thick and ancient-looking books all around the place on bookshelves.

However, this sight wouldn’t have been surprising alone, but the fact that there were a few books in the air that flew here and there left not only Greg but everyone else speechless.

The whole place looked like it just came out of a fairy tale.

“Amazing!”, said Laura on the side with a stunned expression as she looked around.

In her life, she already saw several breathtaking sceneries, but this time this one was different. It had the element of uniqueness, which could leave anyone without a word.

While the group walked inside slowly, suddenly Greg’s expression behind the mask turned sour.

“Not good!”

Instantly as he said that the mask on his face vanished, making the light around him and the group vanish immediately.

“!”

Knowing that they were inside the temple, which was in the middle of a frightening time area, Greg wanted to activate his powers to escape with the others, but just before he could have done so, his eyes turned wide.

“I… I don’t get older? But we are… Wait. So, it seems that time area power does not work here. How lucky.”

As Greg thought about that, he frowned slightly and thought, “But, still… To think this place has a restriction power similar to the Earth Temple. Instead of prohibiting elements, it restricts any help which is not one’s own power.”

As he thought about that, Greg tried to summon his fairy which was all the time around him but feeling as he couldn’t because of a harrier between him and his connection, Greg knew he was right.

“A power similar to Laura’s, but with the only difference that I can still use Alice’s powers.”

Glancing at the others behind him, Greg thought for a while and said, “It seems the time properties from the outside couldn’t be found here, so we won’t die. So I think let’s split into smaller groups and let’s explore this place.”

Hogan hearing Greg’s advice nodded slightly and said, “I wanted to say the exact same thing.”

As he said that he looked at Bex and the Clanwing members behind him and said, “You come with me. As for Laura and Jonathan, you two go with them.”

“Understood.”

With that said the group split into two and started to walk toward two different ways.

Naturally, Greg wanted to find the key, but seeing as there was no statue from the woman, he didn’t know where the key could be.

Because in the previous two temples the keys were in close proximity to the woman statue, Greg wanted to find a monument here too.

However, the place was way too huge and bizarre, so he needed to be careful as much as he could.

“By the way, can you feel anything different now?”

While they were walking among the bookshelves like in a maze, Joe on the side glanced at Jonathan.

“Unfortunately, no.”, shook his head Jonathan as he looked at a book that flew away inches away from his face.

Putting his hand slowly in the hope he could touch it, he said, “I can’t feel that the power sealing my own would have had any change, but for some reason, I know the solution to my problem will be here. The only question here is where.”

Joe hearing this didn’t say anything, but simply watched as Jonathan caught the flying book with his hand and looked at its interior.

However, his expression soonly turned disappointed, because, inside the book, nothing could be found but only blank papers and pages.

Letting the book continue flying, Jonathan sighed and with a slight frown he asked quietly, “What is the point for all of these books if they have nothing in it?”

Mila hearing this caught a book too, but the moment she watched the pages of it, his expression turned surprised and said instantly.

“Hey, look at this.”

Instantly as she said that, Greg and the others walked closer to see what she has found, only to see as on the book’s page a picture started to form.

Bit by bit, on the snow-white paper, a black picture formed out of nowhere, and in the end, a shocking picture appeared.

On the first page of the book, what the six could see was the exact same sight when Mila grabbed the flying book with them all around them.

Everything, including their appearance, their posture, and expression, everything was completely the same as it was a few moments ago.

However, this was only the beginning. A few seconds later on the next page, another picture started to form, and not long enough, there was the sight as they watched the book in Mila’s hand with surprise and shock.

“Just what is this book?”, asked with confusion Laura and looked around.

Not feeling any kind of strange power in the air, nor any sign that could lead to this mystery, Laura glanced at the book and frowned.

“It seems the book is capable of drawing anything on its own that happened in the proximity not long ago. Interesting.”

While the group was looking at the book with great interest, suddenly Emma on the side pointed toward the side and asked, “Guys, look toward there.”

Averting their gazes from the book to see what Emma was referring to, they could see as in the far distance, something was visible.

Squinting his eyes, Greg tried to figure out it what it was, but after a few seconds, his eyes widened with pleasant surprise and thought.

“It the statue!”

Maybe he could only see the arm of it, Greg was quite sure that it was the statue. He already saw twice the woman statue, so forgetting something like that was definitely a no.

However, there was a slight difference with this statue opposite to the other two that Greg has seen before. This one was moving on its own.

Yes, moving. No, it would be better to say it was flying, just like those books in the air.

“Let’s go and check it out. I’m pretty sure we will find something interesting.”, said Jonathan strangely and started to walk toward the statue’s direction.

The others seeing this glanced at each other, but still, they too started to follow him from behind slowly.

With steady steps and several turns among the bookshelves, the six finally reached the moving statue, making their faces to turn surprised instantly.

Naturally, Greg wasn’t surprised because he saw the statue, but now he could finally see just how he looked the very first time he saw the woman.

Even though the sculpture was just a simple sculpture, Greg could still hardly believe just how much vitality it was holding.

However, just like any other time, this statue had a different posture than the other two.

The woman was covered by a gorgeous robe, while in both of her raised a hand above her head, she was holding an open book.

The curves, the undescribed beauty, and elegance, the mysterious power which covered the whole statue, everything about it were just simply breathtaking.

While they were mesmerized by the sight, suddenly Greg noticed something and his eyes brightened up instantly.

“Just as I have thought. It’s there.”

Above in the air, on top of the statue’s head right in the middle of the book, a white key could be seen made out of pure light.

While Greg was thinking about how to get up there without drawing any suspicion on him in the future, suddenly from the side, a voice came.

“It seems all the ways are leading to this place.”

Turning their head to the side, Greg saw as Hogan with Bex and the other Clanwing family members arrived too slowly.

When they Hohen saw the six too, th walked over and asked from Jonathan, “Did you find a way to unseal your power?”

Jonathan hearing Hogan’s question glanced at the statue above him and after thinking for a while he pointed at the key in the middle of the book and said, “I think that will be the solution.”

Raising his head up to see what Hogan was talking about, Hogan noticed the key too, and with a slight frown, he asked, “A key? A key will be the solution?”

Jonathan wanted to answer to that question with a nod, but just before he could have done so, suddenly an unexpected sight happened.

Suddenly, the key inside the book turned brighter, and as a warning, every bookshelf around them started to tremble like crazy.

“What is happening?”, asked a guy from behind Hogan as he looked around with a deep frown.

However, he didn’t need to wait too much for his reply, because soon, a ton of books started to move and with crazy speed, they started to fly toward them.

Greg seeing this at first looked confused, but the moment he noticed the speed and that presence of each book had his eyes widened and shouted.

“Be caref-.”

*BOOM!*
