Journey Of A Legend

Chapter 208: Flake Zone



Chapter 208: Flake Zone

*BAM!*

Watching as Jay run forward like a bullet, Eliana and Zane didn't hesitate at all and started to follow him too.

With their God rank speed, the two experts easily passed a few hundred meters under a single instant, however even like this, they were unable to catch up with Jay.

Zane was especially surprised by seeing this. Even though he had not a speed type Guardian, because he had a white Soul Stone his speed was faster than others on the same rank.

So seeing that there was someone who was faster than him even though he had no white Soul Stone, it was quite surprising.

After running for several minutes, suddenly Jay changed directions and continued to run, but this time his speed decreased exceptionally, letting Zane and Eliana to finally catch up.

"Get ready..."

Hearing what Jay said, the two behind him raised his guard instantly, and just as they did, the air around them exploded with a scary presence.

*BOOM!*

With one explosion sound after another, thousands of Space Cracks arose around the three, but for some reason, none of them happened to be close to them.

However, there was a slight difference this time with the space fluctuations, because unfortunately this time, the Space Cracks started to move toward their direction.

Seeing this, Zane and Eliana's expression stiffened, but before they could have done anything stupid, Jay's voice sounded from before them.

"Don't stop! If you do, then you are 100% dead." 

Not sure why he said that Eliana activated her power instantly, but the moment she did, her expression turned to that of a shock.

The moment she saw the thousands of Space Cracks moving toward their location, she believed this was the end, but when she activated her power, strangely, she didn't see any outcomes that resulted in death.

"How?", asked quietly Eliana, but she didn't need to wait too much for her answer.

Only after a single second that Jay told them to continue their way forward, the Space Cracks around them vibrated and without any warning, they appeared at the exact place where they were a few seconds ago.

*BOOM!*

Because several Space Cracks crashed against each other at the same time, the space in that area turned even more unstable, and with a huge explosion, the whole area vanished into thin air.

Looking behind to only see a bottomless crater, small drops of sweat started to form on Eliana's face, thanking the gods above that she didn't stop even for a second.

If it wasn't because of Jay's warning, she would have definitely stopped moving and tried to use a way to defend herself. However, now that she saw what happened, she knew clearly that any kind of defense mechanism would have been rendered useless there.

"Does God's Tree truly exist?", murmured Eliana quietly as she glanced at Jay before her.

When Jay told them that he has finally found God's Tree, Eliana didn't want to believe it, but because her curiosity was bigger than anyone else's, she decided to come and take a look.

Also, she first believed that Jay tried to pull a joke on them because so far no one was able to explore the interior of the Flake Zone in one piece. However, after seeing that Jay really knew about a way to reach the interior, she started to believe that God's Tree could really exist.

"First, the Creator's Altar and now God's Tree... Could it be that all the ancient legends are true?", said quietly Eliana, but she couldn't think about it more, because suddenly Jay started to accelerate his speed again.

Knowing that she shouldn't waste any more time by thinking about the unsure, Eliana's expression turned calmer and with Zane on her side, she started to quicken her speed too.

*BOOM!*

*BAM!*

*BOOM!*

Inside Frost Desert's most dangerous place known as the Flake Zone, three people were running here and there at full speed, while behind them, huge explosions broke out from time to time.

Because they were arriving closer and closer to the center of the Flake Zone, more and more Space Fluctuations occurred, making the three to concentrate on their survival with everything they had.

Luckily, Jay had the scroll and the way to avoid being killed, so evading the Space Cracks were somewhat easy, but even like this, they needed to be on guard.

For example, there were times when Jay told them that when the Space Cracks will appear the next time, it was totally up to them if they could avoid them or not.

Naturally, Eliana and Zane, who were already on the God rank could avoid the motionless Space Cracks, but not as easily as they have first thought. It wasn't an easy feat at all to bypass all of them, particularly if there were at least thousands of them with small gaps between each other.

But still, in the end, they could avoid being killed, and without making them to realize, they arrived before a huge hole.

"We have finally arrived. That is God's Tree.", said Jay with a slight smile and pointed at the bottom of the gap.

The moment the two next to Jay heard this, they turned their gazes toward the bottom of the hole, only to see an extremely huge tree below their feet.

Except for the size it had, which was about 3 times bigger than an average tree, it had nothing special about it. The only thing however that could be noticed instantly was the two pink flowers on the tree. One on the left, while the other one on the right.

"Those flowers will bear the fruits, but as to which one will be the cursed one or which one will be the blessed one, is completely unknown."

While Jay explained the things to the two, he looked around and said, "We still have a day and a half until the fruits will appear, so let's go down and wait."

With that said, Jay jumped into the hole, leaving the two experts together on the top.

After a small while later, Zane and Eliana looked at each other. But, now, the previous stunning expression couldn't be found, but an only calm and serious expression.

Both of them knew just how important the blessed fruit was, so they didn't want to waste this opportunity, so without any hesitation, they followed Jay to the bottom too.

"Let's go."

While Zane and Eliana followed Zane all the way to God's Tree until then Greg was leading his friends and the Clanwing members inside the ruins with his demon mask's power.

All around them, what Greg could only see was destroyed buildings and debris. No matter where he looked at, the sight was the same.

However, even like this, there was a stunning sight that Greg noticed instantly the moment he stepped foot inside the Dead Zone.

On the ground, he could clearly see as small, strange-looking flowers grew with insane speed. Just like their human body would, it withered away only under a few seconds, while the spores inside them flew far into the distance and a new process started from the beginning again.

While Greg was mesmerized by this repeated process, suddenly Laura's voice sounded from his side, making him to immediately raise his head.

"Look at that! The temple is forming!"

Glancing where Laura and the others were looking, Greg saw as a destroyed building before them which was a ruin like any other around them started to be rebuilt with insane speed.

The closer they walked the faster the rebuilding process became. No, it couldn't be called as a rebuilding process, but instead a sight similar to a rewinding technique.

Brick by brick, the destroyed building started to get built up and when the group finally reached its gates, a massive temple was solidly standing before them.

Looking at the building, what Greg noticed instantly except for the foreign carvings, was its design. While it was quite similar to the other two temples he saw in the past, it looked entirely different.

Contrary to the Fire Temple, which had decorations and details that whispered passion, or the Earth Temple which told unshakable will, until then, how Greg could describe this temple was ever-changing.

The whole temple leaked out of an ancient aura, while at the same time it made one feel that the building was built from the future. This feeling made Greg feel quite confused. 

As he looked at it for a bit more, he felt that the scene truly changed every given second. One time it felt ancient, while the next second it felt insanely modern and futuristic.

The sight was so confusing that Greg suddenly started to feel dizzy, making him to avert his gaze for a moment.

Looking at the others behind him, Greg started to think for a while and said, "It seems we can enter the temple without any danger, but that doesn't mean the interior will be safe too. Are you sure that all of you want to risk going inside?"

Hogan on the side averted his gaze from the temple to Greg, and with a grin, he said, "Naturally. Our Clanwing family never retreats no matter what would happen. Now that something so amazing was waiting for us to explore, I simply can't return. We need to know what lies inside there."

Greg seeing that everyone agreed on what Hogan said, nodded slightly and said, "I see. Then get ready."

As he said that, he put his palm on the temple's gate, and with a gentle motion, he pushed the entrance wide open.
