Journey Of A Legend - Chapter 242

“Now then, tell me everything.”, said Greg calmly as he looked at Ozron with a chilling glare.

The devil seeing Greg’s expression, looked somewhat irritated but still, in the end, sighed and started to talk.

“Did you ever hear about a so-called deity who called itself the Creator?”

The moment Greg heard this, he didn’t look surprised at all.

It was quite obvious that the reason he was targeted by these monsters was because of Alice and because they believed she was in connection with the Creator.

Which was in fact true, because Alice has the Blessing of the Creator, which could help the owner open the Altar, where technically the Creator was sealed.

“Yes, we did. The Creator was the one who made this universe and everything and every being in it. It was also the one who sealed its power away somewhere unknown.”

Ozron hearing how informed Greg was looked a bit surprised, but only for a moment, and the next he continued.

“Yes, you are right. Somewhere in the unknown, the Creator sealed itself away and promised whoever found its soul, that someone obtains its legacy.”

Listening to this Greg nodded. It was now a common fact that the Creator’s Soul was sealed in the underground Altar here on Earth. That is why he was collecting all the keys, and once he got all six he will be able to obtain them.

So far he obtained 3. The fire key, the earth key, and the time key. The remaining three are naturally the water key, the wind key, and the shadow key.

However, knowing that so far each key’s temple had its own powerful restriction, Greg knew that the remaining 3 keys will be very hard to get.

“And how does that legend come to us humans?”, asked Greg, trying to pretend he didn’t know anything.

Raising his bleeding face to look at Greg, Ozron stayed quiet for a while. However, seeing that Greg was about to punch his face yet again he sighed and started to talk.

“We found out that this planet has the Altar where the Creator sealed itself away, while also the…”

“The?”, asked Greg with a raised eyebrow.

“Also the Blessing that is able to open that Altar.”

“It seems they know just the same thing as us.”, thought Greg and sighed by the fact that he was unable to learn anything new.

However, the next second he froze up by what he just heard.

“However we are still unable to find the Blessing that is able to collect the keys.”

“!!”

The moment Joe, Russ, Wayne, and Greg heard this, they stood motionless and looked confused.

“You… Didn’t?”, asked Greg slowly.

“Yes we didn’t.”, nodded Ozron slowly.

“Then why didn’t try to get my Soul Stone away? Didn’t you think that I had a blessing?”, asked Greg instantly.

“Huh? Did you go insane? You? No… The reason why I wanted and still want your Soul Stone is because your Guardian was the Creator of the Altars, the Temples, and the Keys and she is the only one who knows who has the Blessing.”

“!?”

When Greg heard this, he looked at Russ but seeing him shaking his head slowly, Greg knew he must stay silent.

If Ozron finds out that Greg has the Blessing, and succeeds to escape from their hold, things could go dire for him very fast.

So as a result Greg just pretended he didn’t know a thing and looked surprised.

“Truly?”

“Yes. Her true name was the Elementalist, and she was the right hand of the Creator. She was feared by half of the creatures in the universe, but compared to the Creator she was way inferior. You can call yourself lucky to obtain her as your Guardian.”

“Argh…”

The moment Ozron said those, suddenly Alice in his consciousness started to grunt in pain, visibly because she tried to remember back again.

Ignoring her, Greg looked at Ozron and asked, “You said only those can obtain the keys who has the Creator’s Blessing. But if the Elementalist created the keys, why can’t she obtain them?”

“Because she made the keys together with the Creator. In the keys, the Creator’s power has been fused, so even the Elementalist wouldn’t be able to obtain them, and unfortunately, she won’t be.”

“What should that mean?”, asked Greg with a slightly raised eyebrow.

“In our legend, the Creator started that she will give the Blessing to someone who even she doesn’t know. Also, she made sure not to give the Blessing to the Elementalist.”

“Made sure? How?”

“The legends told that the Creator put a Curse on the Elementalist, which made sure that she will not be able to obtain her legacy and keys. Also, it was stated that if one killed the one with the Blessing, that one will obtain the Blessing instead.”

“There were rumors that told that there was a deity who didn’t believe in the Creator killed the Elementalist after an unfair fight. Since then, that deity waited for the moment he could obtain the keys, and it finally came. However, when he tried to obtain one of the keys… He died.”

“So it was completely true that the Elementalist didn’t have the Blessing, so the choice that remained for us was to find her Soul, which was transformed into a Soul Stone.”

After a small pause, Ozron became quite angry and continued, “And we did after hundreds of years of searching and was about to use her, but suddenly a human destroyed everything we have planned.”

“He appeared out of nowhere and stole the Elementalist’s Soul Stone, and hid it away. We tried to find out where he hid it, but that bastard was a cocky one and didn’t talk. Not even a bit. As a result, we killed him. I still can clearly remember that ugly face he did after we killed him, Ke.”

Seeing the wicked smile on Ozron’s face, Greg frowned and wanted to ask something, however before he could have, suddenly he felt something inside him break.

*Crack!*

The sound was like a chain breaking in half, making Greg to look into his consciousness, but before he could have had the chance to do so, a flash flew out of his body and exploded on his side.

“!”

*BOOM!*

Because of the explosion was unexpected, Greg, Joe, and the two men flew away instantly, while Ozron on the ground looked at the slowly dissipating light before him with widened eyes.

“The… Elementalist! But how?! You shouldn’t be able to act independently until you reached the Evolution Step, so how could this be?!”

“What the?!”

Greg, Joe, Russ, and Wayne after flying away by the explosion looked at the figure before Ozron with widened eyes.

It was a woman, with an abyss black, silk-smooth hair and milk-white skin. She had a slim but curvy and sexy body, while a dominating presence leaked out of her body from time to time.

As Greg watched Alice before him, who was clenching her head in pain, he looked stunned and thought, “So the sculptures in the Temple’s were not the Creator but her. In real life, she looks simply…”

However, Greg couldn’t finish the sentence because he realized that he was unable to describe Alice. Not only did she look outrageously attractive and gorgeous, but her whole being leaked an aura that others could only just dream of.

She looked and was like a Goddess from myths and legends, there was no question about it.

As the five looked at her in silence, slowly Alice lowered her arm from her head and looked at Ozron calmly.

“Thanks to you, I was finally able to lift the seal from my memory, that my Master put on me. Now then, as a gratitude, I will give you a painless death. Just like you did with that human.”

“!”

The moment Ozron heard this, he looked terrified and opened his out to talk, but before he could have had the chance to say a word, a flash appeared.

*Swish!*

“!”

Watching as Alice cut the devil’s head off with a hardly detectable speed like it was nothing everyone around turned silent.

Greg looked at the sword in her hand, which was made out of pure Jade ice, and started to think.

It was quite obvious that the sword was made out of her ice element, but for some reason, he felt like it was not that simple.

While Greg inspected the sword as others did the same with Alice, Alice waved her hand gently and glanced at Greg.

After thinking for a while, she smiled and said, “It’s nice to be out. You should let me out once or twice you know.”

When Russ, Wayne, and Joe heard Alice talk, they instantly turned stupified and turned speechless.

It was a common fact, that until one did not succeed in the Evolution Step, until then one’s Guardian shouldn’t be able to communicate at all.

Yet, right now, Greg’s Guardian not only did act, and fought on its own, but she talked too.

“Just what is going on here?”, asked Russ quietly as she looked at Alice then at Greg with confusion.
